The following resolutions Were then
unanimously adopted /:
This meeting, composed OF German
Americans from all parts Of the United
States. believing, from their own knowl-
edge and from information derived from
many editors OF German papers. them
selves correctly informed OF the feelings
OF the German-Americans OF this country.
declare the following 10 be their conyic-
ton:
l. That the partisan war Of section
ayainst section should cease, and the Old
fraternal feeling of people at peace with
itself he restored but that the war upon
corruptiOnists in the public service, who
live upon the offices of the country. or
their spoils, should be vigorously prose-
cuted to successful termination.
2. That according To the old and true
Democratic doctrine, gold and silver coin
is the only money known TO the consti-
tuition of the United States, and we say,
with Thomas IL. Benton, the only money
that dcceives nobody; that legal tender
notes are not money, bat constitute a
debt long ago due, and that the whole
financial policy Of the present govern
ment should be so directed as to restore
specie payment.
3. The present tariff is oppressive upon
trade and industry, TOR the benefit OF
special interests, anu it ought to be abre-
gated. and that system Of duties be sub
stituted, which should simply he levied
for revenue purposes, so as to take no
more from the people than is necessary
tor the expenses of governments and
maintenance OF public faith.
4. That the maintenance Of public
schools by State authority is the time
honored policy Of this country; that
they should be continued In all their eff
ficiency, free from sectarian control. and
that the proposed transfer OF schools to
federal rule by constitutional amendment
meets their disapproval, both be-
cause 1t Is an improper extension OF CEN
trail power, as well as because it is dan
gerOus TO the schools themselves.
8. That the exposure Of frauds ana
populations OF the present administra-
ton has written i'm lines of livid fire
throughout the country the great duty Of
the hour, to rid the public service in all
its branches Of the miscreants who, void
of virtue themselves, have presumed the
sense Of public morality to be dead In the
people. Let US show them that this na.
ton has not forgotten that it had a
Warrington.
6. That the reorganization of the pub
lie service, in all its branches, Is demand
ed by the public interests, SO as to place
in the employment OF government OFF,
cials especially qualified for the respect
i've places for which they may be candi-
dates that the doctrine ito the victers
belong the spOils," should be forever re-
pudiated, and In lieu of it the rule estab-
lished that the public service shall be
open only to men OF talent, integrity,
capacity IN the country and not to the
nero partiZan.
Z. That Samuel j. Iilden stands before
the country as the foremost representa-
tive man OF the reforms indicated; that
the German-Americans so recognize and
will support him as such, feeling certain
that his nomination will secure New
York to the Democracy and strengthen
the ticket IN every State where there are
numerous Gcrman-Amrrican voters.
