THE LEAGUES RESOLUTIONS.

An excellent statement of Republican belief
was made by the League at Saratoga In tone
and language it was spirited. In sentiment IL
was lust and true, and it ought to be well
circulated among the people. 1t evaded no
question now exciting public interest. 1t IN
dorsed the policy of Protection, and declared in
favor of perfect equality in the purchasing
power of every dollar issued by the Govern
mcnt !; and it traced tho loss, embarrassment
and perplexty which the business community
is now suffering to the fact that nobody knows
what the Democratic party will do in the settle
mont of industrial and financial problems, and
that few believe it will act wisely. That party
aid that il would adopt Free Trade system ana
would repeal the Silver Purchase act OF 1917.
But nearly four months have passed since II
came into power and not only has 1t done noun
ing. Int the newly elected President, its chief,
discredits its honesty and capacity by refusing
70 summon its Congressional representatives IN
an extra session of Congress, frankly declaring
that they REQUIRE to be educated before he can
tus. them TO do the business for which they
were elected. Never in the history OF parties
has leader made confession so Illuminating
lie iustifes the apprehension OF the business
community. and tells them that the people were
foolish +, elect Democrats to Congress- because
they are incompetent, ignorant and unworVhy
of trust.
The League has made review OF the crimes
of the last two Democratic Legislatures, which
should engage the attention OF every man VINO
| has right TO cast a vote in the state OF New
York. All these crimes were the result OF
stolen opportunity, seizure OF power as sroi'
trary. wicked and revolutionary as any po-
Gtical enterprise that can be cited to the DIS
credit of any South American Republic. Inc
extravaganza of the Legislature the wasting OF
public money thointerference with home RUE
| the conspiracy to capture the electoral macnih'
ery of all the great cities, so AS TO render tAe
perpetration of fraud in the interest OF Demo
cratic success easy and safe; the taking OF
| dishonest census and the redistribution OF seats
in the Legislature in fragrant disregard OF tho
mles of equality imposed by the Constitution =
all these were the fruits of single great po'
Gtical fraud. The Democratic party stole thC
last State Senate, and with it the opportunity
10 inflict these OutrageS upon the people. 1heJ
rewarded the rascals by whom the theft was
accumulated. They made the chief rascal
Judge of the highest court in the State, anc
they hold him there to-day, constant reminder
of the crimes by which they succeeded in OBJ
tanning the political control which they have
so foully used.
The League has done especially well in bring
| ING forward this statement OF fact. The mex
contest is State election to fill, among others
the place now held by the man who stole from
the office of the State Controller the certlf
cate of election. which, had it gone to its des
tinaton and there received its lawful effect
would have prevented this long tale OF Demo
cratic wrongdong. We have now the chance
to take the verdict of the people on Maynard
and the League can do no better work unit
Election Day than in supplying to every vote
the true story of his villany.
