Hhcrcas, In the loss the Country has
sustained by the death of the lamented
Harrison, the faithlcss and perlldous hands
into which the Executive power of the
Government has fallen, and the coalition
of the Tyler "GuarL', and Locoloco Party
for the purpose uf GIica,ing the success
Of those measures deemed SD beneficial to
the country, it becomes necessary for
the Nhig party to reorganlze, prepare for
the contest, and again march to Battle and
10 Victory.
RcSolUed, That in the choice Of Pre-
sldental Candidate for 1914, we have full
and implicit confidence in the integrity,
patriotism, and republican principles of
Henry Clay of Kentucky, and feel that in
the present embarrassed and depressed
condition Of our Country, he of all others
is best fitted to fill the high and response
bic station Of Chief Magistrate of the Re-
public
Rcsolrcd, That we as independent citi-
zens feel it to be our duty to express our
unqualified dlsapprobation of the course
of the Executive Of the Nation in his wan
ton use Of the Veto power, as a pervcrsion
Of the trust rcposed in him by the people,
and lagrant violation Of the spirit of the
ReS0leCd, That we regard the coming
elections as the most important ever held
In the Country, the question to be decided
is, shall the odious dctaton of the Exccu-
tive be sustained, and Congress the grand
confederated council Of the nation become
mere slaves whose duty it will be TO re-
gistcr the mandates of a Tyrant, or shall
our representatives be supported in the
patriotic resistance the are now making TO
the encroachmcnts Of Mouarchlal pow
cr.
Rcso7rcd, Tha! our principles are now
the same as in 1910; the establishment Of
a National Bank, a Protective Tariff. the
distribution of the proceeds of the public
Lands among the States, one Prcsiden-
tial term, and the limitation of the Veto
power, and no perfidy or coalition shall
lishcarten or deter Us from firm and
support Of those measures.
RcSolred, That we pledge ourselves
10 use all honorable means TO secure the
election of the whg candidates. .,y-gIi
