THE CONVENTION.
Continued from 1st Fage.
"We the representatives of the
Democr?tic Party of Columbia
County, this day in Convention as
sembled, again renewing our pledges,
fidelity and devotion to the sacred
rights of the people, to the faith
and principles of honest Government,
pure politics and honest elections do
hereby adopt the following resolutions:
First- Resolved, That we recog
nize William J. Bryan, the patriot, the
fearless expounder of those principles
which underlie the foundations of this
great Republic, the friend of the plain
people, and the superb and matchless
leader of the Democratic party. We
heartily recommend his nomination as
a candidate for President of the Unit
ed States, knowing him to stand for
the inherent rights of American citi
zenship,equal opportunities and equal
condition to all men; and we pledge
to him a united Democracy with 3000
majority in old Columbia County at
the polls in November next.
Second Resolved, That we de
nounce the un-Republican and un
American Administration of William
McKinley.
Third, Resclved that we denounce
the usurpation of power by William A.
Stone, Governor of this great Com
monwealth, who has set at naught the
Constitution of the State and Nation
in the appointment of Matthew Stanley
Quay, to a seat in the United States
Senate.
We also denounce him for exerc's
ing his veto power to abiogate the
rights which belong to the legisla
ture exclusively.
We also denounce him for aid'ng
and abetting in the illegitimate sale of
Oleo, or imitation butter in violation
of the statute passed in the interests
of the pure butter and cairy interests
of the state, and for his approval of
the reckless expenditure of the people's
money.
Resolved that we most heartily in
dorse the couise pursued by Hon.
Rufus K. Polk in the National House
of Representatives and pledge to him
our united support in securing his re
election. Fifth Resolved, that we endorse
the course pursued by Hon. William
T. Creasy in the House of Represent
atives in the interests of Ballot Re
form, equalization of taxation, the un
lawful sale of bogus butter, and honest
elections and hones', counts.
Resolved: That we as a part of the
Democracy ot this State feel indebted
to Col. Jas. M. Guftey, our National
Committeeman, for his untiring efforts
in behalf of the party, his unselfish in
terest in this respect demanding the
confidence of all good Democrats.
Seventh. F.esolved, that we do here
by express and voice the sentiment of
the Democracy of Columbia County
in extending to the county chairman,
C. A. Small, Esq., and his efficient
secretary, R. G. F. Kashinki, Esq , a
vote of thanks for their efficient, un
tiring labors in placing the county
organization second to none in the
slate. W. H. Barwick.
Gideon Michael,
W. B. Allen,
C. H. DlLDINE,
A. F. Meredith.
At the conclusion of the above
speeches were asked tor. The first to
respond was Rufus K. Polk. His re
marks were brief, but very attractive.
lion. U. T. Creasv followed, and his
prediction of victory at the coming
election was loudly cheered. The
audience still craved for more speech
making and continued to call for Ikeler
until that gentleman stepped to the
front of the platform. He thanked
the voters very kindly for their support
and promised a faithful performance
of his duty in the legislature.
Immediately at the close of the
Convention the Standing Committee
was called together for the purpose of
electing a County Chairman. Two
candidates were nominated. lohn G.
Harman and C. A. Small. There was
some little friction as to the method
of taking the vote. It was first moved
and seconded that the vote be taken
by ballot. This method however was
not to the liking of all the committee
men, as a few favored the aye and nay
It was put to a j-t:-a iwe vote and de
cided in favor ot a ballot. The resuk
was Small, 22; and Harman, 14.
The Treatment of Cage Birds-
We all love birds, but few know how
to care for them properly. Everyone

ested in a book containing over 150
engravings and a lithographic plate

canaries in their natural colors, it gives
full information in regard to song and
fancy canaries ajul hew to breed them
for profit. Hints on the treatment
and breeding of all kinds of ca.e
birds, with descriptions of their dis
eases and the remedies needed to cure
them. All about parrots and how to
teach them to talk. Instructions for
building and stocking an aviary. The
most complete book of the kind ever
published, irrespective of price ma

dreds of persous saw a struggle for life
in the Hudson off this place yesterday

two women and after repeatedly saving
