"ResolUed, By the Democratic voters
of Frederick County, in Convention
assembled:
s'That we reassert with emphasis Che
fundamental principles of Democracy
as announced and expOunded by JEFF
ferSOn and Jackson and the other lead
ers who have followed in their foot
steps.
'ResOLved, That there can be but one
standard of values, and as the Demo-
cratic party has throughout its exist
ence been the advocate of honest money
and national integrity, we favor the
adoption by the Chicago Convention of
the gold dollar as the measure of an
honest dollar, although as Democrats,
we are prepared to give a hearty sup
port to whatever platform may be
adopted by the Democratic National
Convention.
"Resolved, That we favor tariff for
revenue only; opposing all class legis-
lation and paternalism whereby the
favored few protected by vicious tar
if system are benefited at the cost of
the toiling millions.
''ResOLUed, That we condemn with
out reservation as revolutionary and as
opposed to the spirit of American lib
erty every Oath-bOund political organ
iZatIOn which seeks to prescribe men
for their creed or religious belief; and
we hold that all such organizations,
despite their pretenses of patriotism
are hostile to the organic law of the
land, which guarantees the free enjoy
ment of precisely what they prescribe;
and they are fraught with mischief to
the peace and security of society. and
but for their impotency would be de-
structive of our governmental fabric,
and disastrous to the stability of free
republican Institutions"
