RcS0Locd, That the cause Of Tariff Re-
form must be the overshadowiug issue
OF the campaign of 1892 and of every
subsequent National campaign until the
trusts, mOnopolies and rings which con-
stitute the republican party are broken
and overthrown, and taxation reduced
to the lowest point consistent with the
raising of the necessary revenue for the
| expenses of the National Government
economically administered and that this
taxation shall bear lighter upon the nee
essities of the people than upon their
Injuries. That we recognize in Grover
| Cleveland the most distinguished and
consistent representative of the cause of
| Tariff Reform and one of the greatest
| living opponents OF Jstfers0nian demo
cracy This great leader of democracy
| is the only ono who has led his party to
victory since 1856. Though defeated in
| 1883 by bribery aud corruption and the
lavish use of the money OF the mouopo-
lies and syudicates that control the re
publican pactY, he has never swerved
from the cause Of the people, and his
| message OF December, 1887, found its
Justification III the splendid victory Of
| 1890, under his leadership victory is
| assured in 1892. Renewing as We do
our allegiance to Grover Cleveland the
foremost democrat of his time, we yet
remember that the perpetuatiOn of de.
mocratic principles in the administration
OF the government is the the first corsid
Grafton OF al! true democrats. therefore
the delegates to the National Convention
from this State saoGId be left free and
unpledged to support in their Judgment
the man who would best contribute to
the success and the perpetuity of the
| principles Of the democratic party.
