The report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported, through ex-Gov. Carroll, chair
man, as follows:
The demoeratic-conservative party
of Maryland, in State convention as
sembled, resolves as follows:
The election for the executive off,
GERS for the State, to be held in No
vember of this year. is of momeutous
Importance, because it will determine
the policy and control of the legisla-
tion of the State until 1888, and will
exert a decisive influence upon the
vote of the State at the presidential
election in 1884.
The declaration Of the election of
Hayes and Wheeler in 1876 to the
Offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States was brought
about by fraud, consummated under
the forms of law, aud the methods
used in the election of Garfield and
Arthur in 1880 have been proved, by
the creatures who did the evil work,
10 have been. if possible, more dis
creditable than those adopted By their
fellows in 1876.
The national republican party of
the country has. during its tenure of
power, made the public lands the
spoil of favored corporations. Ii has
siuandered the money Of the country
by maintaining horde of idle, pro-
| fligate and incapable placement. It
has not during its ten6re Of power, in
its tariff legislation. given that Just
and equal protection to all the indus
tries Of the country which il Aght to
have afforded, but has. on The con-
trary, made the masses Of the people
pay from their hard earnings enor-
nous bounties to favored monopolies.
1t has broken up the commerce of the
United States in vessels carrying the
national flag. 1t has permitted the
unworthy men who planned and exc
cuted the frauds perpetrated in the
presidential elections Of 1876 and 1880
to deal with the patronage Of the gov
ernmeut aud with public money in
the treasury as If these great trusts
were the spoil of an enemy's camp.
The democratic conservative party
of this State will enter into the State
and national campaign Of this and the
ensuing year with its whole heart,
resting its opinions in national poll
tics, as heretofore, upon the express
words Of the tenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States adop-
ted in 1875: "The powers not dele
gated to the United States BY the con-
stitution. nor prohibited BY it 70 the
States, are reserved to the States re-
spectively or to the people"
1t will demand that national taxa
tion, in all its forms, shall be limited
TO such amounts al are necessary for
the economical administration Of the
government. for the payment Of IN
terest upon the public debt. and for
the redemption, in each year. Of .
fixed and reasonable proportion Of that
