hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the
great organization of the Republican
party.
We arraign the Democratic party
of this State for its subserviency to
the will of a few men who for years
past have controlled and dominated
every act of legislation and we view

and control of the same ring.
We favor an economic administra.
tion of county affairs and call the at
tention of the people of Garrett
county to the fact that the Demo.
cratic Board of County Commission.

travagant in the history of the
county, when the taxes were much
higher than eyer before or since,
Resolved. That we condemn the &C.
tion of the Democratic Convention in
declaring in favor of the arbitrary re-
peal of the local option law of Garrett
county as being undemocratic and
contrary to the law of self-govern-

government, and said law having
been adopted by the vote of the pe0-
pie. it should not be repealed except
by vote of the people, and any
other course will be to Override and
ignore the voice and will of the peo-
pie as heretofore expressed at the
ballot box.
ResoLued. That we believe in the
election of all county officers by the
people.
