RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, By the Democratic convention
of the Fifth congressional district, that
we reaffirm the principles of the Demo
cratic national convention as adopted at
Cincinnati in 1880.
Resotred, That we are In favor of tariff
for revenue only.
ReSOLUeG, That We condemn the extrava-
gance and sectional legislation OF the
last Republican congress; that we are in
favor of the adjustment of these taxes
which are burden to the people, and
which are creating such an enormous sur
plus revenue, thereby encouraging public
extravaganza and waste Of the peoples
money.
Res0lUed, That we denounce the methods
of the leaders of the Republican party in
assessing government employees for the
purpose of raising money to corrupt voters
and thereby maintain themselves in power.
Rcsolued, That while we encourage the
practice of temperance in all things, we
are opposed to the abridgement of person
al liberty by sumptuary laws.
ResoLved, That in presenting a can
didate for the suffrages Of the
voters of the Fifth congressional district,
we earnestly denounce, deprecate and con-
denim the pernicuous and disorderly spirit
manifested by the contending factions of
the Republican party at Detroit in
July last; that the wholesale and cor
rupting use of money employed by the
two leaders of the opposition in control
ling the selection of nominee, merits
and should receive an emphatic rebuke at
the polls by the defeat of both Repubi
can candidates, and we in
yite the cooperate of all citizens,
regardless of party in administering that re-
buke, that we earnestly commend to the
voters of the district an honorable and in
dependent course in the support of our
candidate, holding that the purity of the.
ballot is one of the highest privileges in
herited from the fathers who formed the
principal planks upon which our political
system is founded.
