uot infatuated with Grantism, which is
only synonym for bad and corrupt ad~
ministration.

worthy and competent gentleman for the
nomination of Treasurer Of State, and
hereby instruct our representatives at
Columbus, on the 18th to labor earnestly
for his nomination.

Radical Grant policy evidenced by busi-
ness prostration, deprecated currency
and loss ofcredit, ,showsthe party in power
to be unworthy longer to receive the con-
tidence of the people.
Resolved. That no Hlap-trap nonsense
on the part of the Grant Ring masters
and their organs about danger to religious
liberty and our common school system
can take the attention ofthe people from
the Third Term -Grant-lIayes party and
the consequences of their corrupt rule:
Resolved, That the history of this coun-
try lisa full land complete vindication ofthe
Democratic party-that it is the only po
litical organization that has ever given to
the people economical, honest and just
administration in accordance with the
requirements of the Constitution Of the

ReS0iucd, That the revolution in public
opinion indicates, unmistakably, the de-
lei mination of the people to hurl from
