The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following: --.
.Resolred, That the groundwork OF
all good governments is honesty in
office. and Intelligence in the adminis-
tration of public affairs that during
the half century Of Democratic rule in
the United States, the people were
prosperous at home, henored abroad,
the Constitution Obeyed, the laws
maintained and the principles OF free
government everywhere advanced
Throughout the civilized world. In the
restoration of what has been lost
through sixteen years OF misrule-eve.
ry day growing worse under Repub-
lican administration we look for that
purer public lite which alone can give
indemnity for the past and security
for the future. ,lon,i, ,.,l...llt d. ,t..f 3
ResOlred, That we heartily sympa-
thise with men in all the walks of life
who are made to suffer from the effects
OF prolonged mal-adminisfrationi in Of
fee. We look forward with alarm
upon the many thousands of people
who have become bankrupt in fortune,
and who haye lost in sums of hundreds
of millions yearly, for four years past,
the fruits OF long years of toll and es-
pecially do we sympatize with the
suflerings of our mechanics and day
laborers who, though willing to work
for low wages, seek in vain for en-
ployment absolutely necessary TO pro-
vide bread tor themselves and their
families. blessed as our country is in
every variety of soil, with unexamplcd
mineral wealth, with millions OF acres
of virgin lands, with enterprise hith-
erto unexampled IN thi civilized world,
our present National distress is not
only an anomaly upon all the free gov
of Providence Tor the wickedncss and
incapacity of our long trusted rulers.
ResOlced. That, as the source OF our
ho to 4
honest men in Office, whose frauds and
corruption have literally plundered
the people of hundreds of millions Of
hundreds Of millions to our National
debt and a taxation until the Federal
and State governments are covered
with debt as with q garment, and the
people oppressed with intolerable bur-
dens Of taxation, SO now the only
source of relief is in the change of the
Federal Administration by turning
ont of office all who, having been
weighed in the balance, have been
found wanting in all true manhood
and virtue, .f 1i''!''
Resoleed, That public pollc5 and u
sense of common justice to the Agri-
cultural, Mechanical and Manufactur-
ing interests OF our country requires
that the silver dollar issued by the
Government under the act of 1892
should be made a legal tender in pay
ment Of all debts, public and private,
and that we demand an unconditional
repeal Of the so called "silvcr act SO
for at the same limits the amount for
which silver currency shall be legal
tender. 81 = .7f4i' - .'s
