N InIu dare say il would BE- wsii for
tn cuumJTy had the principles and puT-
pOsts oI the Democratic party prevailed.
Inspired by the past, we cOurageUusly
grspple with ;he problems presented TO
solve them ;" the in!G rests of subStan-
tIal progress, universal liberty and Just
government. We declare ihaL the peo-
sic are deeply concerned, md that the
sacrcS obligation OF the government
shall be faithfully performed for the ad-
vancement of the general welfare, Sc
curing rights before the law and equal
protection under the law, without regard
10 race, creed, color, condition OR Occu-
patton. We endorse most earnestly the
legislation enacted by the Republican
congress and approved by Republican
president, for the suppression of polyga-
my in the territories. We congratulate
the country for that sound business and
financial policy In national legislation
which has secured an extension of the
present excellent banking system, which
has given to the people a currency con-
venient, uniform and elastic in volume,
of equal value in all states and absolute.
ly safe from loss in the hands Of holders.
We uuqualiiedly condemn all dishones-
ty and fraud in elections and demand
in every locality in the United States o
free ballot aud fair count
Whereas, 4 large surplus is accumula-
ting in the treasury above all possible
requirements for betrayal of all ordinary
expenses, for the discharge of the ma
tured debt and interest, and for liberal
disbursements to pensioners, it is the
clear duty of congress to act speedily to
reduce taxation in all its forms and to
tighten the burdens of the people
We urge upon Il favorable considera-
lion of congress of such measures as
shall be necessary to keep coin and cur
rency at par with gold-standard of the
world and bring the silver
dollar to an equivalency in value of
economy aud will hold to a strict &C
countability all who are charged with
expenditures from the peoples treasury.
The resolutions discussed the civil
service question at considerable length,
and demanded prompt and ihorou gh
reform in all departments. In addition
to. the endorsement of President Ar
thurs administration. the resolutions
continue: We invite intelligent and
candid consideration of all propositions
in aid Of temperance and good order,
for equal rights OF suffrage irrespective
of sex, aud for the encouragement OF
industry, irugality, contentment and
prosperity among all people, of the
United States.
In conclusion they declared that they
have joined the advance with Oregon
and Vermont for assuring the victories
of the coming campaign. Adjourned.
