 We condemn the administration Of Grover Cleveland as Delng false 10 it's pledges, and hypucrItical in its dealings. It has lai!ed 10 keep Its sacred pledge of ciyIi service re- form, and upon which tke President secuted his election; il has been false to It's friends, its enemies, and false to itself; It has dis sraced tne ratiunal name by lhe character vI it's appointecs in lhe Ci piOmaIic serY ce, aEd has disturbed the Friendly relations heretofore existing between the United States and several foreign governments, nolabiy with Mexico, our sitter republic.

Resolved, That we are in favor of d care ful and judicious investigation of the public land system, to the end that actual settlers may be protected in their rights, spurious land grants exposed and honest holders oi titles may be defended in their efforts to improve The public domain.
