The convention adopted the following
resolutions:
WHEREAS, In its late national con-
vention, the democratic party promised
the people that, if intrusted with con-
troll of the federal government, it would
reduce all taxes, tariff taxes especially,
to a strict revenue basis and limited in
amount to the needs of the government
economically administered. And
WHEREAS, The people, relying upon
their pledges, placed in our hands con,
troll of every department of the federal
government, and the pledges of the party
thereby became solemn and binding
covenant between the party and the peo
pie. And Whereas, A number OF sen
ators, chosen as democrats and holding
the balance Of power in that body con
spired to force upon congress the choice
Of continuing the Mckinley tariff il
force, or enacting protective tarif
act which, while greatly reducing 1t
rates, embOdies the features OF the Nc
Kinley act the people have most emphat
ically condemned. Therefore resolved
1st. That we denOunce the German
Brice additions to and amendments
the Wilson bill as a gross violation OF tn
pledges of the party to the people, an
we demand that congress in its mex
session, repeal every protective featul
of the act and limit the collection
duties an imports to the needs Of IL
government administered with the stric
est economy.
2nd. That Senator Brice, in fOrciI
the passage of a protective tariff act
conspiring with other senators and
threats Of continuing in force the NJ
Kinley tariff, set at defiance the pledg
of the party and assumed the powers
dictator in its councils, and we refu
J, to recognize him as candidate for t
senatorship at the close of his prese
term.
!. Sd. That the only safeguard OF fl
q republican government is the direct &C
% troll Of the people over the action Of tn
representatives; that the constitution
mode Of choosing senators removes tn
p from direct accountability to the peOp
'a and gives to the heaviest money bag
y weight dangerous to the interests Of
industrial classes; and we demand
IL amendment to the constitution, referri
lv the choice of senators to the sutfrages
: the people; and until this amendm
can be secured, that all candidates
IN the senatorship be nominated by
,o people in their local and state conventio
4th. That the Cleveland Plain Dea
misrepresents the sentiments of the dt
re ocratic party, and frames for 1t or
with sole reference to the interests OF
editor as a member of the lead trust.
9TH. That we are enlisted in relt
less war against all laws, creating OF
holding any and every form of monoI
III or trust, and will prosecute the war
til the yoke of bondage to priyile
III classes be stricken from the necks Of
no people.
Sf' 1n 9th. That we renew our pledges To
-o' people to continue our support OF tt
-, reform, and approve the action OF
VII gress in repeating the unjust and
densome Mckinley act; that we Il
y" free iron ore, coal and sugar and the
~ limited free coinage Of gold and sil
W. and allowing all gold and silver coil
w., - the world to pass as currency Of the
= ted States at its proper value Of SIX
"" Of silver to one Of gold, thereby incl
ing the volume of gold and silver t
able the people to redeem our large
inflated paper currency without 10
mo the people.
. as 7th. Being radical, or Tom JoIll
ior democrats, we denounce the at
NV n made upon him by the Cleveland I
y ! n,olor nnd on,lorsc his acts in con
