Thy Democratic Republican ]orgau,za-
ton of rJWunUy lllil stIu oldest poo
lilicnl body iu the United States, Its
existence, under another name, ante
dated tho t-ttllish.U- of our present
form OF governments. Its members took
an Hctiye pnrt Ia the election of WASH
ingtnn,J Jefferson and Jackson, aud there
Democratic successors, tho candidates
of it, party are nominated Ia Congress
lanai fsHNHtH.H. and nuIlnnnl HNnNHn-
tons. 10 has seen the birth, cOntiuu-
ancc aud sudden and gradual death Of
all parties 10 which the ingenuity OF
politicians or the necessities OF
occasions have given rise, FROM
the adoption Of the Federal constitution
down Ia the present day. During all
these years IL has never Swcrved in it,
allegiance To party - ialtDrcd in its
SUPPORT of candidates nominated aud
principles enumerated from the platform
of the National Democratic conventions,
and in but one instance in all its history
did 10 oppose the action OF lis party or
its nominee in the State, and that only
after due notice was given and in re-
sponse To natures first law, and when
the existence of Our OrglniZatiOn was
threatened u the personal and pOliti-
cal rights of u constituents assailcd.
To the truth of this statement we invite

public officials, when IN jts Judgment
they were violating those principles aud
their professions Of Democratic iulh
made before he'll elevation 10 place nnd
power. At times measures OI great III
terest to the people have originated with
~, aud hnN.a hlan purrial I'm SIrpgg@fnl
adoption by the Democratic party IN the
Stale aud Nation. TWAS by our constant
iteration and discussion that public NJ.
tcntion was called 10 the corrupt course
of the Republican party III sq|uandcrilS
the public domain, ~. which over 1913,
GOU,UUO acres Of public lands were given
to railroads ana other corporations. Tar
if agitation by ms resulted IN drawing
attention To the necessity of such re-
duction of duties rs would
provide means sufficient for the require
ments of the Government and ut the
same time afford Incidental protection
necessary to American labor. We have
advocated at all times u reduction Of
taxation, municipal, State II Federal,
in order thai the burdens on the people
should ne leSSencd, lone rule ana
local self-gOvcrnment have always been
cardinal principles Of the Democracy in
TamImany nail. We have differed with
the Nltle executive bl in' u|pIlltullOll
OF these important principles OF govern
ment, BECAUSE, in our Judgment, the
truest Democracy is where the least
possible power consistent with "a proper
execution OF the law is
taken from the people and
lodged with their representatives.
We have at all times opposed the cen
tralizatiOn OF power, Is dangerous to our
Republican Institutions, amt have not
hesitated to condemn unnecessary, un-
lust and Icratic interference Of
the state LEGISLATURE and Executive in
our municipal affairs. Ouroppgsltion to
the infringement of power, Oi the Alder
men Of our city, would have been just rs
determined, had the Common Council
been as strongly Republican as it was
Democratic, and no alleged representa-
tive public meeting, presided over by "A
Republican, advocating the passage of
this or other undcnlocratic measures,
under the deiudlng cry Of reform, could
blind us 10 the intent and object Oi
such legislation. We rhampioned the
cause oi anti-nuonOpoly ia 1881, and the
ensuing campaign Ut lSS2 that resulted
in the triumphant election of the pres
ent Governor OF the State. 1t is true
dissentionS among our a~dVerSaries, the
Republicans, had much to do with the
great majority he received, but the
entire feeling IN the breasts Of thousands
of WorkinSIneu against the f~tupublican
party Tor It's corruption and nlonOQo-
iistic legislation, caused thousands OF
these votes to ally themselves with the
Democratic party, thereby protecting
us against such legislation. 1t is no
e~XageratiOn TO say IL seemed to them
that the drift of existing laws was tend
ing TO deDdSe rather than elevate labor,
hat the whole energy OF the Govern
ment was being used to foster The il-
terests OF the employer and capitalist
at the expense of the toiling millions;
that these opinions We're Founded
on substantial and inc~ontrovertible
grounds, and were not emanatiOus rom
the minds OF dreaming denlagogues who
sought TO dupe their ignorant but con-
fidilg followers. Candid observers must
admit that in ~neIghbOring Re-
publican states the right OF
the people 10 peacefully as
semble was invaded and the militia of
the commonwealth was used to tyranni-
cally enforce unreasonable demands of
capital. Presidents OF the country have
generally opposed labor strikes, but no
harsh criticism appeared against capt.
talists and corporations who closed their
factories against w~Orkingmen or opera
tives on the plea of over production, so
that the returns of capital might not he
diminished. III this condition of affairs,
the eyes OF wage arners were turned TO
the Democratic party anu they Will
lingIy cast their lot with it. They
expected to receive a reward for their
confidence and their labor in such legis'I
lations as would ameliorate their con-.
dition. The pe ople Of the city demanded
to have elevated railway corporations
confined to legitimate returns for capital
invested in valuable franchises, which
were conferred in them by the city and
State. After u prolonged struggle with
