The following resolutions protesting against, and dennnciatory of, the unfair and undemocratic treatment of the Penn- sylvania Democracy by the National Con- vention was passed without a dissenting voice. THE RESOLUTIONS. Wueneas, [It is fitting that the Democratic State Organization of Pennsylvania should take official notice of the action of the ratic Na- jlonal Convention held in Denver with reference to the Pennsylvania delogation : now, be it Resolved, That, reaffirming our allegiance to the Democracy of the State and Nation, and ledging our earnest support and unwavering ty to the nominees of the Denver convention we, the Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, earnestly protest against the ace tion of the National convention in regard to the Teplvachiation trom this State. Snough the delegates to that convention were obliged to obey the will of the majority, nevertheless we, as members of this organiza. tion, and citizens of a sovereign State, insist that the action of the convention with respect to the Pennsyivania delegation was unjust, unwar- ranted and against parliameniaiy practice and ent. We condemn the decision of ne apes ehairman of said convention, by which he re- ferred to the Committee on Credentials the right ofthe appointees of Pennsylvania del on to Jortiel te inthe deliberations of the Platform mittee and the Committee on Rules and Organization and other Commitiees, Admitting that each committee is the Judge of the qualifica- tions of its own members, we deny that any fie- tion of parliamentary law cannot be justly made the arbiter of the membership of other district bodies. By that decision the Biate of Pennsylva- nia with 34 presidential electors, and nearly one- half million Democratic votes, was excla from all deliberative work of the convention. Hawaii and Idaho, whose entire delegations were con. tested, had a voice, while Pennsylvania was de- nied representation. We denounce as illegal and un Democratic the action of the Credentials Committee in unseating the eight members of the Philadelphiadelegation and the seating of the contestants—il be- cause there was no due proof of any valid contest; because the contestees held duly approved certifi. cates of election from the monwealth of Pennsylvania, accepted by the National Demo- cratic Committee as valid, and because no allega- tion of fraud or attempt to prove fraud in the vote or manner by which the duly certified members had been elected was ever made or offered in the Bropet {irisdiction, to wit : in the Courts of the ty of Philadelphia ; un-Democratic, because fhe choice of the electors of a constituent 0 the State's Democracy was sub and de- stroyed. We protest against such action of the National Convention as an invasion of the rights of a party organization of a sovereign State and as a usurpa- tion of authority before the legitimate and legal remedies within the State were invoked. As an evidence of the justice of our protest, we cite the fact that 357 delegates in the conven more than one-third of the entire Dodys Joined us in the remonstrance, by voting for the minority report sustaining. our contention, . such action was the Jrosratyed determination to oust from the Democratic National Committee James M. Gaffey, who had been legally elected as Natiosal Commitieeman by & vote of 47 out of 68 delegates from Pennsylvania, and which election made him, and still makes him, the duly author- ized head of the Pennsylvania State Democracy. Knowing that might can never make right, and that usurpation of power once enforced and sub- mitted to, arrogant, we aver that the in. Justice pe rated npon Pennsylvania, establish. eda nt which in the future may be u to subvert the political soveraignty of all the States other e Resolved, Further, that in the selection of Wil liam J, Bryao and John W. Kern as our candi dates the convention recogpized and obeyed the call of tne great mass of ocratic voters, and that their election meant not only the triumph of Democratic principles, but a recognition of the cause 50 long advocated by the Great Commoner, and in the support of their candidacy and elec- tivn we invite and solicit the united and earnest efforts of the entire Democracy.
