The democratic voters of Prince
Georges County, in convention assem-
blcd with a view singly to the success of
the Democratic party, and at the same
time with regard for the best interest of
the people, make the following declara-
ton of principles and reasons that will
guide them in the coming campaigns
RESOLVED, That we are in favor of Il
re- assessment of the property of the State
upon IA fair and equitable basis, and insist
that the representatives of this county to
the hext General Assembly will use all
their influence toward accomplshin" this
end.
RESOLVED, That we re-atfirm our allie
glance to the principles of the democratic
party, and can point with pride and salts
faction to the good results that have been
achieved under the democratic rule, in the
return of prosperity and general revl-
val of the business interests of the coun-
ty and especially for the regard that has
been shown for the masses of the people
in the passage of Il tariff law that has
brought to the consumer Il lowering of
prices in what he buys, and to the manu-
facturer a wider market with increased
! prices for the products of his mills and
factories, and at the same time has added
to the demand for labor with increased
pay for a days work.
RESOLVED, That it is the duty of every
democrat to give his best energies to the
success of the democratic party, in order
that its principles, time honored and test
Ell as they are, by the endurance of our
institutions, may survive, and may con-
tinue to administer our National Govern
ment for the good of the whole county.
RESOLVED, That we commend the econ
! omy and fidelity with which our affairs
have been managed, and can point with
pride to the financial condition of our
county, which is second to none, i'll that
we have been able to meet all our Obliga-
| tions, and at the same time to keep open
our public schools for the education of the
children of the county; we pledge our
selves to continuance of the same
policy.
