The following resolutions, offered by Judge

WHEREAS. The Democratic party of Carroll coun-
ty, in common with their brethren of the whole
country, have deep and abiding sense of the wrong
perpetrated upon them by the Republican party IN
wrestling the Presidency from them in 1867 by an
unconstitutional means, thereby inficting grevous
only here but throughout the world, and personal
and political injustice upon our gallant standard
bearers. Tilden and Hendricks, who received a de-
cided majority of the votes of the people at that
election and should have been duly inaugurated
as President and VicePresdent of the United States,
Resotped, That this fragrant outrage upon consttu-
fonal rights and popular suffrage can never be con-
doned but calls as loudly for redress to-day as 1t
did at the period of its contamination.
Res0bed. That in no other way can redress be so
rage efectHally rebuked as by the denomination
aud triumphant election of the old ticket, Samuel
D. Tlden, of New York, and Thomas A. Hendricks,
ResOlued, That the Democratic party stands to-day
where it stood in the days of Thomas Jefferson and
of all our public functionaries to the people, and
honesty and economy in the administration.
Resolved That reform is loudly called for not only
in the revenue and in the civil service, but In all
the departments of the government And the most
direct and efectual method of eecting such reform
is the complete overthrow of the Republican party
under whose mal-a administration abuses Of the
grossest character and of every kind have been fo
tered.
ResOlred That reform in the revenue is loudly de-
manded by q large surplus in the Treasury, calcu-
lated to engender an eNtravagant if not corrupt
Resotred, That tariff for revenue adequate to the
wants of the government, economically admins
tered is now and has always been principle of the
Democratic party. But it has always held that 10
foster one interest at the expense of another TO
pass laws favoring one class of citizens to the detr
ment of another, Is unconstitutional and un- Demo
cratic. That principle is as dear TO the Democratic
party to-day as it was to its founders in the early
days of the republic.
Resolued, That the Democracy of Carroll pledges
its most Jealous efforts TO the accomplishment of the
results contemplated In the foregoing resolutions
