At yesterdays meeting resolutions were

Whereas the life OF tie American Republic
is at stake in the present campaign, the result
Of which IS To determine whether we are TO have
established imperialism OF continue wise, be-
neGcent untrammeled Government irishnsn
and sons OF IrlShuSn have al al times been
foremost among the defenders of American in
stitutions both in and peace, and ever ieal-
Gus OF the liberty and equality enjoyed under
the glorious institutions OF cur country and have
ever responded to the call OF duty when the
enemies at tome and abroad threaten the Re
public In common with the overwhelming ma
iOrirY of the intelligent masses OF the Wlllte
ririZcushin of the United States, in unison with
leading men Of the irish race, Irrespective of
past party affiliations. we have IN tins great
crisis become convinced that the stability of our
Government, the Liberties of our people and the
welfare OF the Republic are endangered By the
nefarious influences OF the English Government
over the Administration of William Mckinley.
This meeting, composed of Irish h-Amerleans Of
the State OF Maryland, calls upon every Irish
American voter irrespective of present or past
political afliation, 10 cast his vote in the com
ing election icr William Jennings Bryan and for
such Congressional candidates in accord with
these views upon Imperialism and a British ALL
anee. and from now until the day OF election to
labor tirelessIy for the defeat and complete over
throw of the present imperialistic Administra-
ton. which, IN judgment, is, beyond all
doubt, in secret alliance with Great Britain and
absolutely subservient to tnat oppressive Empire
We firmly believe that this alliance secret
| understanding exists; first, becau=e contrary to
| our Republics history and traditions this i'm
perisI Administration has refused to extend Of
| fciai sympathy 10 the heroic Beers of South
Africa and has absolutely aided and abetted
! England in her diabolical efforts to wipe out
this sister Republic. The Mckinley Administra-
tion has seconded every effort OF England in the
Far East, as against France Russia, Germany
and all the European countries which have in
the past proved themselves friends in time
of need
We wish to call the attention of all patriotic
Administration, through the agency of that no.
torious Anf.lo-M Maniac Secretary John Hay, has
surrendered in Alaska 10 Great Britain 100 square
miles of rich mining territory which properly
belongs to the United States hauled down the
American flag over the heads of American citi-
zens and abandoned to England most valuable
integral portion of the United States.
For these and other good reasons unnecessary
, to enumerate take stand for the Republic
against the empire, for Bryan against Mckinley
and for Democracy against imperialism.
