Dcler

adopted at the late Wig State Convention at Mont
pclier
Pcsored, That regard the expression of the voice
Of the American people, in the late presidential cleo
ton, une 9uivocal and author alive demand for
thorough reform, and rigid retrenchment of all unne
cessary expenses in the various branches Of the Gov
ernment.
Resolred, that we approve the present admnistra-
ton far it has recognized the duties imposed up
it by the people, and promptly commenced the great
work Of reform-by prohibiting its own officers from
interfering in elections, and removing incumbents gull
,y OF such interference; by requiring strict accounta-
blity the part Of those connected with the public
revenue; by letting the mail contracts the ground
Of economy, and not offavoritism to political friends;
by insii,uiing for the discovery and punish
ment of frauds upon the revenue and in the War and
Navy Departments; 10y ins,ituling inquiries where and
how far the number and the pay of officers may be d
mnished, and by recommending measures intended to
improve varous branches Of the public service and TO
advance the public good
Resolucd, that we insist upon perseverance, in all
such measures as required alike by sound policy and
by the will Of the people.
Whereas, the act of July 4, 1910, commonly called
the sub-treasury act, anli-republcan in its on
! gin and adopted in defiance of the popular will, is
highly injurious in its tendency to derange the bust
ness of the country and reduce the value oflabor to
/ European standards. and has now been direct
I Iy and emphatically condemned by the people:
Resolred That we highly approve Of the bill TO re-
peal the snbireasury act; that, the public good and
the peoples voice requiring Congress utterly to cast
ont mis- abomnal0n, but the blind or the wholly
perverse devolees OF false democracy shect to
/ the sacrifice.
Whereas, cheap safe and efficient measures are need
ed Tor the collection, keeping and discussing OF the
public revenue; and whereas as candid men Of all
| parties concede, sound currency of uniform value
throughout the whole country is indispensable for
the regular safe and successful transaction Of all
business and whereas the experience OF the past has
most fully proved that National Bank IS adequate
and the only means adequate, 10 secure these I'M
portant ends and has repeatedly received the dlreo
appreciation or the indirect sanction OF all admins
,ra,ions, from WAsHISGToS TO JAcKsoN,-and OF al
branches ofthe General Government, the Senate, The
House and Judiciary
Resolred, That we deem the establishment Of a Ma
uonal Bank TO BE- necessary and proper according
70 the terms Of the Constitution; and consider Congress
required, both ly duty and policy, most earnestly L
endeavor to devise bank, with powers adequate 10 IA
necessities Of The case. and with such provisions a
shall obyiate the constitutional objections OF the mos
scTupulous exclude from political influence, and II
all WAYS secure the safety Of the public and the ber
ties Of the people.
Whereas the public dom,in, BY being acquired by 'h
