TAMMANY RESOLUTIONS.
They Call for Patriotic Unity in The Name
OF Democratic Triumph
OUR MISSION AT HOME is INCOMPLETE
while Per Cent of the Population
Can Hold the other 9S Per Cent
in Absolute AFFECTION.

New York, July 23.--At meeting tonight
Of the Tammsny Hall general committee a
SERIES Of revolutions, on motion OF Richard
Croker, were adopted. They say:
Tammany Hall believes in the supremacy
Of tho American nag wherever it floats, but
that it should float nowhere as the symbol
Of liberty and civil sarvitudo. for that is a
combination which can work only dshonor
to the flag and American institutions.
1t believes in that character of territorial
expansion which was favored by the fathers
Of democracy; not expansion by the shedding
of American blood on soil where the con
stitution can never follow the nag, but in
that which has added to the glory and he
prosperity of our Union; not that which is
To the Union source Of disgrace and dis
asteT.
The republican party, while protesting a
desire to carry freedom to distant strangers
Of strange habits and of uncertain ciyiIza-
ton, Is satisned TO leave American citizens
I on American soil IN bondage to cue trusts
and monopones beg0tten OF republican legs-
latlon, Tor that is nothing less than condl
ton Of slavery which tetters Individual SOW
erelsuIy and gives to the favored lew the
! fruits from th1 labor OF the many.
Us CONCEDED that the Nation has its
,mlssion. to carry but It's mission at
sibIe under National legislation for , per
cent OF the population to hold the other IS
per cent of the people in absolute AFFECTION
through the operation Of trusts and monop-
olies.
Let US not wait too long in the vain ex-
pectaion that this evil wall cure itself The
tlme has come for the Nation to act. lam
many Han, repeating the promise contained
IN the National platform OF It's party, .iedges
itself TO an unceasing warfare in Nation,
state aud city against private monopolles in
Tammany Hall condemns the wagiug or a
war foI conquest as un-Amerlcau in principle
and ieIse to the pledge OF the Nation as
given by the president of the United states
IL condemns the Unconstitutional action OF the
president in carrying on 3 war for conquest
without the authorization OF congress.
inspired by its forbidden alliance with the
British empire, the republican admiuistra-
} ton has reached out for colonial depend
eucles. the control or which means the last
step IN the direction of imperialism and
military government by the United States.

manhood is limited by the republican prin,

helds of doubtful glory or to lifetime OF
useless struggle against the killing comlpetl-
ton OF trusts and monopolies.
Inc sincerity OF the republican declarations

present administration toward the Fuipinos
on the one hand and the Beers Of South
