BY the committee on resolutions a
follows
The Democratic party OF Marathon
county in convention assembled pro
claim our adhearance to the time hon
ored and fundamental principles of thu
party. We believe these principles tt
be the basis of good government. w,
are opposed to trusts and combines anC
to protective tariffs which give trusts tn,
power to levy tribute upon the Ameri
can people, a power which they hav,
grossly abused within recent years. w,
believe in a thorough revision of on
tariff laws without fear or favor anC
that such revision can only be accom-
plished by the Democratic party. W.
denounce the colonial policy of the Re
publican party which has made oul
newly acquired territory half bond ant
half free, and which has refused to Civ,
to this territory all the guarantees of tn,
constitution. We believe the tern
United States as expressed in the Fed
eral constitution includes every foot o
land over which our sovereignty ex
tends.
We denounce the present state ad
ministration for its extravagant anC
wanton waste of public funds, its mis-
management of the public business, it
horde of political grafters and thimble
riggers who are using large sums o
money drawn from the treasury of tn
state to maintain and control stat
government.
And in this connection we call AT
tention to the economical and wise con
duet of public affairs by the last Demo
cratic administration in this state undo
that honest and fearless eXecutiv,
Honorable George w. Peck.
We urge the delegates who are chos
en- here to represent Marathon count.
in the State convention held Ut Milwau
kee fCl the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the National Democratic Coz
vention held at st. Louis, to act wisely
and conservatively in the performance
of their duties, and we express our full
confidence in hem as our representa-
tives. We ask them TO use all honor
able means to secure the selection o
Neal Brown of Wausau, as delegate a
large for Wisconsin TO the Nationa
Convention. j H. REIsER,
