Resolution Of Appreciation


RESOLVED, That this Convention does hereby express its unfeigned pleasure in the manner in which its courteous President presided over its deliberations.

WHEREAS, The citizens of Jefferson, irrespective of denominational or church relationship, have opened their homes to this Convention with an enlarged hospitality, consonant with the spirit of this great and growing Commonwealth, and the churches have granted the use of their houses of worship–

RESOLVED, That this Convention record its appreciation of their kindness, and tender its earnest thanks for the hospitalities so generously given.

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the thanks of this Convention are hereby expressed to the Texas Railway Companies, for their unparalleled munificence in giving their roads to the Convention, free of expense, for excursions upon all their lines, over the State. An act so thoughtful and generous, and indicative of so wise and liberal a policy in the railroad management of this vast Commonwealth, deserves from us this special mention, and our hearty gratitude.

RESOLVED, That we also return our acknowledgements to the railway companies which have granted delegates to this Convention the favor of reduced fare.

RESOLVED, That we thank the Jefferson Democrat for its many favors, and that we request the public press of this city to publish these resolutions.
