table and untimely death of our late
beloved Governor, John Albert John

The demise of few men in the his
tory of our country has ever caused
such widespread grief.
In his native town, and country, and
throughout and beyond the state, al
realize that an able and conscientious
friend of the people has gone from us
removing wise counsellor, faithful
public servant, fair minded legisla
tor, a great executive, a kind friend
Il genial companion and noble man
Whereas, agriculture is the CHIEF
industry and fundamental basis of the
prosperity and progress of the people o
the state.
Therefore, we favor the establishing
of schools of agriculture Throughout,
the state, either independent or in con
nection with our public schools. 81
that the youth of the country may re-
ceive instruction in the science of agri
culture from able and experienced in
structors, in the vicinity of their homes
Resolved, that we condemn the leg
islative monstrosity known as th'
Payne Aldrich tariff bill which tends
to foster everything in Commercial
life that is bad and wrings from The
consumer and the wage Garner, &
tribute which ought not to be paid
Be it further,
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves
as party to do everything in on
power to secure the immediate repea
of this law and place in its stead ;
tariff law that shall carry out the prin
ciples Of American citizenship, recog
nizing that all are equal before tn
law.
Whereas, one of the cardinal princi
lples of the democratic party has al
ways been Willingness to permit TIN
people to express themselves on al
public questions and,
Whereas, there are at the prcsen
time several public questions of grea
moment, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the democrats of Blu
Earth county in convention assembled
that we declare ourselves to be il
favor of the initiative and referendum
