VI Ine lOuhB Mon D National Democratic AS
ISOLATION, the body known by that name as
sembled on Saturday evening. The President,
M. W. Myers, after Mr.. VIM. Mason had
been appointed Secretary, stated the object of
the meeting, and, upon motion of DR.. Fries,
appointed the following Committee on Resolu-
tions DR.. George Fries, H. Kelly, F. G.
Schroeder, DR.. Musoroft and James Hanna.
During their absence the meeting was addressed
by Mr.. Disney and others, and when they
returned they submitted the following as an
expression Of the sense of the meeting upon
State and National affairs, which was unani.
mously adopted
Resotced, That the great moral of the Report
Of the late Investigating Committee into the
Treasury defalcations, is the complete vindica-
tion OF the Democratic policy of the total sep
aration of the public funds from the control of
banking institutions.
ResotuCd, That the Inauguration and estab-
| lishment, by the present Democratic Legisla-
ture, OF the Independent Treasury, by which
the peoples money, collected in the shape of
taxes, to maintain State and local governments,
| shall be kept ont Of banks, and disbursed by
the specially selected agents of the people,
meets our hearty appreciation, as does also that
provision of it which looks to the final use of
gold and silver currency by the State and the
people.
Resolved, That we also give the present Dem
| ocratio Legislature thanks for the establishment
OF the plan OF semi-annual payment of taxes,
as being measure highly advantsgeou to the
laboring and business GLASSES Of the community.
Resotued, That the Democrats of the House
are entitled to all oommendation for the prompt
manner in which they passed the bill on Thurs
day last, to take the repairs of the canals out
| OF the present Republican Board Of Public
Works, and place it in the hands of the old
contractors, thereby saving the State thousands
Of dollars annually, repudiating reputation,
and taking from partisan Board a patronage
they do not hesitate to use unsorupulously
against the Democratic party; and we express
the hope that the Democratic Senate will in
as prompt manner, pass the bill through that
body, and thereby confer favor on the State
Treasury, as well as the Democratic party.
The keen solicitude shown by the Republican
papers, as to the fate of the bill, since its pas
sage through the House, is strong evidence Of
Its damaging effects on their party, should II
become q law.
ReSolUed, That we approve of the act COM
monty known as the Police Reform Bill, the
object Of which is to elevate the character Of
the police; to render it more independent of
party vicissitudes; to give it q better tenure
and system, by Rssociating with the Mayor, in
| its appointment and control, citizens of high
character and merit as Commissioners, whose
sole duty 1t shall be to look after this most i'm
portant branch of the public service, and to aid
the Mayor, by their counsels, in giving it an
efficiency it now notoriously lacks.
Resolred, That the history of the last two
years has conclusively proved, by the great in.
crease of crime and decrease of detection
that the present police is wretchedly weak and
inefficient, and that we believe some radica
change in its organization was generally desired
by good citizens.
Resolred, That the resolution passed by tn,
Opposition City Council, that the new law in
creases the expenditures of the police, is also
lutely false. 1t abolishes the Office of Cit
J Marshal, and thereby saves the taxpayers SOM
sixteen thousand dollars year, with advantage
to the public service; and that on the grount
of economy alone, it deserves our support.
Resolued, That the Republican City Council
by its prodigal increase of fexpenditures, adding
to the peoples burden thirty thousand dollar
per year extra for the police alone, by Its i'm
beoility upon all important public questions
and its narrow partisanship, is deserving o
signal rebuke, and that the people will be falls
to their interests if they do not mako rad
ical change in this branch of the municipal ad
ministration at the approaching election.
Resotusd, That it is significant fact tina
while the State taxes, under a Democrat
. Legislature, have decreased, and that tn
county taxes have decreased under Democrat
, Commissioners, the city taxes alone have in
creased to a ruinous degree under Republi
D can Council.
r Resolred, That we disapprove in strong term
t of the late act of the Republican Legislator
of Massachusetts,, which requires a naturalize
citizen to wait two years before he can vote
, while negro is permitted to vote on one year
1 residence. Among all citizens there should b
perfect political equality.
q ReSolued, That we indorse the action of ou
: State Senate in passing bill to prevent pei
IONS having African blood in their veins frol
= voting, and express the hope that it may r'
% ceive the speedy and favorable action of Il
Q House.
