The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported as follws:
The Democrats of Ohio county in
convention assembled endorse the call
of this convention, and re-affirm with
dw. the slightest qualification, the
principles and policies enunciated in
the platform adopted by the Demo-
crlio party in dts last National Con-
vention. We send greetings to the
d, mocrats of other sscticrs, and beg
ofthem 10 join with us in the univer-
sal wave of harmony thai is now
sweeping through the Democratic
raj ks of Kentucky. We see the en-
emy's ranks broken and demoralized
by reason of the outrages that have
been committed in their own parry
against their own honored members,
and we see violation of every pledge
which they enunciated through their
alleged State platform.
2. We denounce the present Ma
tional and State Republican admins
tration, the former for its reckless
extravaganza in the conduct of public
affairs, for its complete subordination
to the interests of organized wealth,
for It's encouragement and protection
of trusts and combinations, and es-
pecially for lis failure in the last
National Congress, in which it had
decisive majority, TO enact those
necessary laws for the protection of
the people as agains. that oppressive
legislation which has arrayed the rich
against the poor, the few against the
many, fostered and encouraged by
the Republican policies.
g. We call attention to the incom-
potency of the present Republican
administration In Kentucky; to the
abuses in the management of public
affairs, especially as pertains to the
farmer and his interests; to the brok-
en- and demolished planks in the Re-
publican State platform of year ago,
as a result of the action of the al
legged leaders who framed and enun-
Glazed It. No better evidence of the
incompebency of the party now in pow
err in this Stare is needed, than re-
view of its acts since 1t came into
possession of official power.
4. We believe the trust is the re-
suit of the policies pursued by the
Republican panty, chief among which
is a high protective tariff, which fur
Their impoverishes the poor for the
benefit of the plutocratic rich, and
puts a price upon the ordinary COM
modities of life, which forbids no
fair comparison to the cost of produc-
ton. or the rates of sale at which the
commodities are Offered in foreign
countries, freight prepaid.
8. We endorse the canvass by Hon.
VIM. ]. Bryan, the nominee of the
Democratic parry, for the Presidency
of the United States, in the last ma
tional election. We recommend its
wisdom, and approve it rs just and
fair to all parties and all interests of
our common country.
8. With renewed zeal we re-affirm
our allegiance to the principles OF
Democracy as declared by jefferson,
Jackson and Bryan, and as eNempli-
fled in every public act of these hon
ored statesmen. Taking into consid-
GRAFTON this sentiment and these ac,s,
our delegates to the State Convention
ut Lexington on June 18th, are hereby
instructed to cast the vote OF this
county as unit for the nomination
