RESOLUTIONS.
The Democratic party of Delaware strong
10 its ancient faith, and loyal to those prin-
ciples of free government upon which the
Federal Union was formed, declare
First-That . strict adherence to and
maintenance Of the Limitation Of power con-
tained in the Constitution of the United
States is the sheet anchor of our installations,
on which the safety ofou future depends.
Second-That the attempt of the Federal
administration, nowiin radical hands, to alb
sorb the police power of the State, to con-
trol the election to office by Congressional
legislation and Executive interference, and
to substitute centralized government for
the "Home Rule'' of the Constitution, Ii
viewed with alarm, and should be met with
the rebukisg ballots of q free people.
Third-That the Republican party now
in power has prostituted its high trusts to
personal and party ends, and by its fragrant
corruption wrought upon us National hui
initiation aud disgrace.
F0urth-That the attempt of President
Grant and his advisers to thwart the Demo
posure of official fraud and malfeasance ID
an outrage upon the whole people whose
servants they are.
Fifth-That the necessities of the times
imperatively demand return to those home
bred virtues Of our ancestors, honesty and
economy in the administration of public af-
fairs, and to those methods Of government
which will secure real Civil Service Re-
form by cutting off multitude of unne-
,cessary offices and making preferment In
the public service no longer q reward of
partizan zeal.
Sixth. That the currency of people
should constitute in itself q standard and
measure Of values as well AZ calculating
medium Of exchange, and that to coin nssnsy
out of gold and silver, was the only power
on the subject delegated to Congress by the
constitution. That the disregard of this
wise limitation of power, and the introduc-
tion of an irredeemable paper currency
among tle people has caused an enormous
increase of the public debt, and has been the
prolific parent of wild speculation with
the consequent bankruptcy and rain
that wisdom and obedience to the charter Of
our Government, alike demand . restora-
tion at the earliest possible day to money
of value--of gold and silver coin-and
currency convertible Herewith at the will of
the holder.
Seventh-That tariff whose object is to
raise revenue, and not to favor special clas-
SEES, is demanded by the interests of the
whole people.
Eighth-That the people of Delaware
recognize the eminent public services Of the
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard; that in all pub
lie trusts he has been faithful to duty, and
in his public and private life, pure and with
out blemish. We, therefore, declare that
he be our unanimous choice for the Prest-
dency of the United States.
Ninth-That the delegates to tho Demo-
cratic National Convention this day appoint
ed are hereby instructed to cast their vote
of this State in said Convention as unit
for the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, and to use
all possible means to secure his election.
