tablish Justice, insure domestic tranquility pro.
yvyd 40 For ba doF
al welfare and secure the blessings Of liberty.
Resolved, That the mission OF the Democratic
party depends not for success on sectional agita.
tion or special legislation, that builds up favored
mOnopolies at the expense of labor.
Resolved, That the power to lay and collect
taxes dutieF, imposts and excises is conferred
upon Congress for the purpose of collecting reve.
Hue to pay the debts Of and carry on the Gov.
erDment not to plunder the people and build up
monopolies.
Resolved, tina: the sar-route frauds and the
developments Of the rascality and dishonesty Of
the custodials Of the Treasury at Washington
show again that the Republican party is corrupt
as ever 1t was in the days OF Grantism notwith.
standing the claims made for the piety and pu.
| rlty Of the Hayes fraud administration.
Resolved, That the arrangement In the Senate
Of the United States with Malone, the leader Of
the Reputation party Of Virginia, and the bitter
feud raging between the stalwarts and Garfield
Blaine. Half breeds, demonstrates that Republi-
cans wish to rule, not for the good OF the country
but merely to gain the spoils of office, and
| these same events show condition OF things In
the Republican party, that betokens It's downfall
and should encourage the Democratic party and
the people In their efforts to restore honest gov
eminent to the country.
Resolved, That the course OF the late Republi-
can Legislature Of Ohio demonstrates again the
difficulty to carry out in practice false promises
made to obtain votes and secure power on the
principle that the end ustifles the means.

expect to take hand and do full duty In re-.
deemiDg Ohio In October from the grasp Of Chas,
