New York, July 25.-At meeting
last night of the Tammany Hall gen
cral committee, u series of rcsolu-
tions, on motion of Richard Croker,
We're adopted. They say:
"Tammany Hall believes i'll the SUI
prelnacy of the American flag wher-
ever it floats, but that it should float
nowhere as the symbol of liberty and
civil servitudc, for that is n combinn-
ton which can only work dishonor to
the flag and American Institutions.
1T believes in that character of ter
ritorinl expansion which was favored
by the fathers of democracy, not eN
pansion by the shedding of American
blood on soil where the American con-
stitution can never follow the flag,
but in that which has added the glory
and the prosperity of our nation; not
in that which is to the union source
of disgrace and disaster.
The republican party, while profess
sing desire to carry freedom to dis
tant strangers of strange habits and
of uncertain civilization, is satisfied to
leave American citizens on American
soil in bondage to the trusts and mo-
nopolies begotten of republican legis
lation, for that is nothing less than u
condition of slavery which letters in
dividual energy and gives to the fa-
vored few the fruits resulting from
the many.
lit is conceded that the nation has
its missions to carry, but its mission
ut home remains incomplete while it
is possible under national legislation
Pm, II,
hold the other 90 per cent of the peo-
pie in absolute subsection through the
| operation of trusts and monopolies.
Let MS not wait too long in the
vain expectation that this evil will
the nation to act. Tammnny Hail. re-
national platform of it's party, pledges
state and city against private monopo-
lies of every form.
famnany Hall condemns the wag-
ing of a war for conquest. 1t is UNI
American lin principle and false to the
pledge of the nation as given by the
president of the United States. 1t
condemns the unconstitutional action
of the president i'm carrying on "a war
for conquest without the authoriza-
: ton of congress-
The sincerity of the republican
declarations favoring the propagation
OF freedom and the uplifting OF ma
manity in other lands is revealed by
the contradictory attitudes of the
\ present administration toward the
Filipinos ON the one hand and the
Beers of South Africa on the other---;l
war of criminal aggression against
| the former in the name of freedom
silent and covering in the shadow of
Englnnd's throne while the freedom
of u sister republic Gibbs away in its
own blood
The issues of the present campaign
arc beyond the consideration of dol
lars and cents. They go to the honor
of the nation, it's pride in the cstima-
tion of the whole world its fidelity to
that conservative Anericanism, which
rooted deep in the past, alonr can
guide the nations future
The democracy of the nation
stands for national honor; national
conservatism, national Justice. Tam
many hall, faithful to the principles
of democracy, and subordinating all
4 things to democratic success, closes
it's ranks and calls for patriotic unity
in the name of democratic triumph
