TIE RESOLUTIONS
Resolrcd, That the Republicans of Vermont
maintain and declare their firm adherence 10
the principles of the party, which, in the ma.
tion III large, embodies the best statesman.
ship, the highest patriotism, the soundest
conservatism, and the trucSt progress of the
American people, and which has given To this
state for thirty years AN unbroken succession
of state governments, of unsurpassed purity
efficiency and success.
Resoired, That the Democratic party during
its present control of the government has
Improvements promised by il; has shown its
lack of leaders competent to grapple with the
living issues OF our day ana has already
demonstrated to unpreiudiced observers that
the change of party control was "A change for
the worse and not for the better.
ReSOired That the Morrison tariff bill, re
ported by the Democratic committee of WAYS
and means and supported by the large major
lty OF the Democratic members OF Congress ;
eNtraNagant appropriations made by the
Democratic House and the rider practically
annulling the civil service rules attached by
Il Democratic committee to an important ap.
preparation bill, show that the Democratic
party is still, as OF old, opposed to the protec-
tion of American industry, opposed TO prac-
tical economy and rctrenchnent OF national
expenses, opposed to civil service reform,
and unfit to be trusted with the government
of the nation.
Resolred That whatever may be the case
elsewhere, the course OF the national admin
istraton in reference to the disposal OF fed
eral offices in this state, in committing the ap.
pointments Ia party bosses; in superceding
faithful officers not justly chargeable with
offensive partisanship by active and offensive
Democratic partisans, and in removing hon
est, experienced and respected officers, to
make places tor salOOn-keepcrs and Demo
cratic strikers, has been been an absolute bur
lcsque of civil service reform; and deserves
the condemnation of all who desire "A clean,
efficient and trustworthy public service.
ResOtred, That we commend To Republicans
everywhere, the policy of dropping past dis
senslons; of welcoming all who will work
with us to secure pure politics and good gov.
ernment; of closing up the ranks in prepara-
tion for the next national contest; and OF thus
presenting the firm and united front, without
which il VIII be impossible to restore the
government to Republican control.
ReSOiced, That we deplore the multiform
evils of intemperance; we reaffirn the posi-
tion of the Republican party in this State
. upon that question, and declare in our opin-
ion the prohibition of the liquor traffic as ex-
pressed in our statutes, etc, be and should
remain the settled policy of the state. And
further that as the influence of the liquor
saloon is debasing in politics as IL is baleful
IN social life, the Republican party should
! everywhere reject all overtures for open or
