PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.

We, the Liberal Party Of tue State OF Louisiana
in Convention assembled, hereby proclaim and
adopt the following our platform of principles
essential to the redemption of our beloved State
from the evils Of msgOvernment and tending to
the restoration Of lust wise and patriotic rule
the vindiCation Of the rights of the sovereign
people.
Convention of the Liberal Republicans, as ratified
and ndOrsed by the National Democratic COnven-
ton, as emineRtly judicious and representing the
sympathies and needs of our State and country,
and we recognize in the national standard bearers
of the great Peoples Party, Horace Greeley and
Benjamin Gratz Brown men OF sterling worth,
capable of restoring the government to the sim
pcity and purity of its earlier years, when Wash
jngtOn, Adams and Jefferson were guardians of our
liberties. We therefore pledge them our undi
vided and earnest support.
O. We recognize tie political and civil rights of
all men, and pledge ourselves to maintain them
and we invite all men, WithOut regard to past pO-
tical differences, to unite with us in our honest
effort to accomplish such salutary reforms
may be demanded by the people.
3. We demand that our State government shall
be administered Justly and economically; and to
that end we pledge ourselves to the abolition of
useless Offices the reduction Of eXOrbtant salaries
of officials the early redemption Of the legal obi
cations of the State and the reduction Of taxation
l. We demand that laws shall be enacted for the
punishment OF bribery, and that the powers of the
executive be diminished, being Inconsistent with
republican institutions and subversive Of the
wishes of tho people
5. Recognizing public education as an imperative
necessity and a guardian our liberties we pledge
ourselves to maintain a generous and benehcent
free school system, which shall be extended to
every portion Of the State and embrace in its priv
ileges The children of all classes and we shall de
mand strict economy and performance of duty
on the partof school officials.
