FREAMBHK..
Wacreas; The Baltim9rs Convention. BY its
surrender to Ratiea ism, has left the Demo
cratic party without candidates in the APP
Rese!red Let. That NE " i'll await the action o:
The convention. 70 be held at Louisville, Ky.
on the Sd day ofSeptsmber, and if it gives
to the country Democratic Candidates for
President and Vics-President upon purely
Democratic platform, We pledge them our
hearty and earnest support.
Resolved End, Knowing that this government
was framed an founded by white nep--that
il is only by VIII lite mon that it can be ad
min istersd and perpetus tsd-that the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution is fraud
never legally passed by the American people
that Negro suffrage is the one evil from
which the people of the South are suffering
and to which ali other evils can be plainly
traced, therefore We are unalterably opposed
to Negro suffrage and mongrelism in every
shape. -
Resosped 3rd, That The true theory Of our
government is embodied in the Kentucky
Resolutions of 80 and 80, and that the lber.
ties Of the people can only be preserved by
the entire sovereignty Of the States and that
tbe Federal Government has no powers but
those plainly delegated to it by the people
of the separate states, therefore We trust and
believe that the Convention at Louisville
will put forth platform in ac-
the father and founder Of the Democratic
party.
Resotred 4h, That we are opposed to pro-
tective tariffs and monopslies Of all kinds
whether of Banks or Railroads.. and that
equal and exact justice lo.ail men snd sx.
elusive privileges to none is TIE true Demo
cratic creed.

racy Of the District the importance Of at once
