rBE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRACY.

In the Democratic State Convention
at Sacramento last week, Mr.. Pendegast
reported the following resolutions:
Notwithstanding the fact that this is a
Judicial Convention, convened mainly
for the purpose of selecting candidates
for judicial positions, we nevertheless
deem ii proper occasion TO solamnly
declare our views and principles; there
fore, the Democracy OF California in
State Convention assembled do adopt
the following resolutions as statement
of the prisciples which they believe
should be carried into effect
Resolved, That we demand the utmost
economy In the management Of public
affairs. and to that end recommend the
incoming State Legislature to largely re-
duce the fees and salaries Of all public
servants, commencing the reform in the
Office Of the Chief Executive OF the State
and prosecuting the same through all de-
partments OF the Government.
Resolved, That we unqualifedy con-
demn the action of the United States
Congress in enacting the law commonly
known as the back pay salary steal, !"
as well as the action OF the President of
the United States in approving the bill
Wuo-C oVtC Recommendation WIS tuNL IL
made him richer in dollars.
Resolved. That We point to the history
Of the State aud nation az demonstrating
the fact that the Democratic party has
always been the friend of the people, the
advocate of every needed reform, the
staunca defender OF the rights of the
laborer. and the uncomprising foe OF all
monopolies. railroad corporations or
others. and we congratulate ourselves
and the people Of California that every
candidate at the late election was forced
to plant himself squarcly on the good
old Democratic anti monopoly platform,
whether he solicited votes under the Re-
publican or Democratic standards, or the
dag of an Independent organization.
Resolved, That we make no war upon
railroads as such, but we protest against
their being managed in the interests Of
any ring or clique, or political man or
party, and believing it to be proper
subject of State legislation, We demand
that such action be taken by the incom-
ing Legislature as will properly adjust
the vexed question Of railroad fares and
freights 30 as TO able the railroad com.
panies to earn fair profit upon their in.
vestment, and at tho same time remove
all onerous charges from the people. and
prevent any unjust discrimination for or
against any section Of the State.
Resolved, That we regard the presence
OF the Chinese in our midst as an un-
mixed evil, ruinous alike to the people
and the State. while tho prospect OF an
increase Of their numbers is appalling to
the hearts of oil; and we demand that the
incoming Legislature, through its own
enaotments and its urgent appeals to
Congress, take steps not merely TO pre-
vent the further influx OF the Monaghan
horde upon US, but to secure the speedy
exodus Of those already here, and to this
end We urge that measures be at once
instituted to decrease the subsidy to the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and to
abrogate the so-called Burliugame treaty.
Resolved, That we hail with pie ,sure
the action OF the farmers in this and
other States in the formation Of oranges
aud societies for the protection and ad.
vancement OF their own interests. We
are proud to observe this class OF our
people. hitherto quiet. has Of late as
serted its rights. and is beginning to
demonstrate its power; that we now
pledge ourselves that our candidates for
all Offices, Legislative, executive or ju-
dicial, shall be in full sympathy with all
these farmers in all Just and honest de-
mands; and that in event of their failure
to do SO, they shall never receive our
support in the future.
