heartily approve the platform Of princi-
pies adopted by each, and pledge the
undivided support OF this district to their
respective nominees.
Resolved, That the Republican party OF
the Second Congressional District are in
favor Of wise and judicions economy in
public expenditures, but that system OF
retrenchment which oripples the efficient
execution Of the functions Of government
with view to raise false issues and de.
lude the people with specious promises
Is demagoguery and not statesmanship.
RssOlred, That the Democratic party
has no claim to the gympathies or sup.
port OF the people by reason Of any pre-
tended friendship toward their interests
in the matter Of affected retrenchment or
honesty, "a its record In the past, both
National and State, Is full Of fraud and
corruption, and that continually.
Resolved, That the promises Of the DEM
ocratic party are but as rope Of sand;
that the people Of the Second Congress.
sional district have had abundant reason
to disbelieve them, through the failure Of
its leaders when in Office 10 effect those
measures and carry out the engagements
to which they were pledged 717
