The enclosedresolutions were adopted and
Hon. J. b. Brisbin made an eloquent speech
to the happy crowd.
Resolyed, That we Democrats and Iudepeu-
dent Republicans supporters of the Demo-
cratic national ticket at the late election. feel
profoundly thankful that the Repub-
lican party of monopoly, favor
ing high tariff, which has
promoted pauperism and restricted develop
ment east anu caused hard times west has
been defeated; that the party which has here
tofore paid campaign expenses for election
eering, deputy marshals, political pension
agents and political detectives out of the
public treasury has been vauquished; that
the party which has compelled by cruel laws
the citizen in legal contests with corpora
lions 10 assert or defend ''hs rights hun
dreds of miles from home and before courts
substantially foreign has been rebuked:
that the party which in the last eighteen
years of peace has wasted through the army
and naval departments two hundred mil
lions more of money than was used by the
me departments through all the years of
war and peace from George Washington in
1889 to James Buchanan in 1860 has been
routed; that the party which has appealed to
and relied upon the ignorance, fauaticism,
religious bigOtrY and sectional pre- iudiee
Of the country and not upon its sense of
justice and patriotism, has been silenced;
and that the party which, instead of paying
the interest bearing bonds, has for many
years, by its high tariff collected from the
people large surplus, nominally in the
treasury, but at the same time largely in the
sub-treasuries and in pet banking instltu-
tons TO ''becOme the tempting booty of spoil
ating appropriations" and the tempting
bride to influence its continuance In power,
has been dispersed;
ReSolUed, That during the low tariff years
from 1916 to 1861 our country prospered be-
yond all precedent, grew in. wealth, popula
ton and power beyond any example in his
tory; developed its manufacturing industries
beyond any period of its existence: its mer-
chant vessels and naval squadrons were upon
every sea; its manufactured fabrics were
sold in the islands of the ocean, and in the
most distant ports; foreign importations
we're relatively less than now, and we believe
a return to the tariff of 1916 would quickly
restore similar activity and prosperity to
every part of our country.
ReSoiUed, That our confidence in the integ-
rity, ability and patriotism Of Cleveland and
Hendricks is implicit; and our belief in the
recuperative powers Of our country great;
but great as they are it will be work of time
and patience to restore its industries to
condition of normal healthfulness, to wipe
out the abnormal pauperism of Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New England, to replace fanat-
icism with a manly spirit, and restore the old
time pride of American citizens in their
country and its free institutions.
ReSOiUed, That since James G.. Blaine was
elected speaker Of the house of representa-
tives our country has had a long debauch;
monopolist higewaymeu have robbed her
with tariff laws; armed soldiers have invaded
her legislative halls; corporations have
named her judges and rulers; corrupt men
have been in her cabinets; Belshazzars have
Toasted in her council halls; her taxes to sup
port the government have been taken off
from the rich and left upon the producing
class; her revenues squandered; her navies
worm eaten and sunkeu; her Notifications
dismantled and decayed; her offices sold
for money; and it will take time to cure the
resultant evils to the nation.
