THE RESOLUTIONS.
Rssoired. by the Democratic party of
Worcester County in conv ention assem-
bled
/. That in the principles of the Demo
cratic party We have full faith, believing
that therein lies the security oi our poll
ticai institutions. the promotion oi the
welfare OF our common country and the
protection of the interests OF the people
at large, against the encr0acnments oil
monopolists who by trusts and combines
seek to enrich themselves to the impOver-
ishmcni of others.
,. That we recognize as the "star oi
hope" that political sen iiment which de
ciares that taxes shall he laid only for the
support of our government! economically
administered, and that tariff for revenue
and that alone is the measure of the ex-
tent to which our people should be bur
dened
J. That with pride We look back 10
the administration of governmental aiftirs
during President Cleveland's term of
Office, when by common consent that
administration closed without talnt OF
corruption and free from rcproach. That
in the eventful history of this great coun
try there has never before been period
of administration when from the highest
To the lowest office oi the government the
Office was accepted and its duties dis
charged with such a conscientious pur
pose of performing public trust with
absolute honesty and integrity
1 That because of the PRONUNCIATION
of the true democratlc doctrine of tariff
reform by President Cleveland IN his
message TO Congress at the time and in
the manner and under tho circumstances
of its sending, the foundation was laid
upon which at this time may be built Il
democratic platform which will stand and
not fall amid the assaults of the opposi-
ton party IN the coming campaign, and
that by loyalty To our party principles
aud 10 lis chosen standard bearers we
NAV upon the issue confidently hope for
victory
). That the record of our representa-
tive from the First Congressional Dis
trict Of Maryland, in the sd Congress
las entitled him to the commentator of
his constituency aud should he rewarded
by his return without opposition by the
people of his party.
q. That in view of the distinguished
services of Hon John Walter Smith ren
dered To his county and state during his
term in the Senate of Maryland il is the
unanimous sense of this convention that
he should represent the State of Maryland
rs delegate at large 10 the Democratic
National Convention 10 he held at Chi
cagO, June 2lst next. and the delegates
Ia the Baltimore Convention this day are
instructed To present his name.
