Second-We especially commend
and heartily endorse the Democrats
of the u. 8. Senate and House of Rep
resentatives in opposing and defeat
ing the Universal Compulsory Mill
tary Training feature of.the Army Re-
organization Bill, in the last Con-
gress. being, as we are. opposed
to militarism and autocracy in any
and all forms; and we as heartily
condemn those Republicans who fa-
vor such a policy.
The record of the Democratic party
upon the above mentioned measures
and matters. about which there is
very little difference of opinion among
it's members, is a record which all
Democrats can view with satisfaction
to which they can point with pride,
and upon which they can sincerely
and safely ask the suffrages of the
people of our country. Desiring the
success of the Democratic party and
Democratic principles. we deem it
wiser and better for this convention
not to emphasize and accentuate the
sharp differences which exist among
members of the Democratic party on
other questions. upon which there is
division in the party; but leave
those questions to the properly con- |
stituted authorities for settlement. |
compromise or adjustment to the end |
that the Democratic party and DEM |
Ocratic principles may prevail.
Third-We heartily endorse the
Democratic administration of Gov. |
Lee NJ. Russell. and heartily endorse |
him as a delegate from the State at
large to the Democratic National
Convention.
Fourth-We endorse the precedent |
established by Washington and other
presidents of the United States in re-
firing from the presidential Office af-
ter the second term, as this, by uni
veEsal concurrence. has become q
part of our republican system of gov
ernment; and we think that any de-
parture from this time honored GUS
tom would be uDwise. unpatriOtic and |
fraught with peril to our free institu-
tions.
By comparing the two above res
olutions and noting the vote on each
it will be seen that the sentiment of
this convention was along lines of
true and real democracy. Itrefused to
accentuate the differences that have
arisen between the executive and rep
reSentatlve branches OF the natlOnaI
government but endorsed much
salutary legislation that has been
enacted into law while the Demo-
cratic party had control of the Con-
gress. The differences between these
two equal and coordinate branches
of our government was wisely left by
the Monroe county convention to adj
justment by the National Democrat
ic Conyention which meets in San
Francisco the latter part of June.
When these differences have been
adjusted by the proper tribunal all
factions of the grand old Democratic
party will assemble in the same
old Democratic ship and sail on to
victory.
