PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
WHEREAS, The Republican party is
utterly incapable of managing the affairs
OF free and independent people, as evil
denced by the tact that IN sixteen years
of their rule there has been one continued
scene of national decentralization and
growth in crime. They have trampled
on constitutions, and established laws to
suit their personal ends; laid violent
hands on those who differed with them
in opinion or doubted their lntaliIDInty;
bowed to the behests of mOuled capital
lists and robbed the enterprisng and In
dustrIous, corrupted the iIee ballot and
made fraud triumphant; driven legal leg
islatures from their halls At the point Of
the bayonet, and scoied at the lib
critics of the States; ant finally they nave
involved our country IN scenes OF strife
and bloodshed and general bankruptcy,
and her industries in ruin, and have
stricken down labor and brought suffer
ing and want TO millions OF our people
by unwise, Unjust and partial legislation.
We, therefore, rs lovers OF our country
and her institutions, beseech the honest
men who have been deceived and misled
by their currupt and unprinclpled leaders
to abandon them at once, and AID us IL
bringing back the shattered ship OF State
to her ancient moOrings, when all Will
be again blest with peace, happiness and
plenty and
g Whereas, The Democratic party has
always been opposed to class legis laL.op;
therefore
ResoIced Isl. That We heartily approve
the platform of principles adopted by the
recent Democratic State and Senatorial
Conventions.
"a. That we declare the utmost conf
donce in the ability our candidates to
give the principles OF the Democratic
party practical application.
3D.. That we Will work tremendously
for the election of the whole Democratic
ticket, and the triumphant defeat o. TIE
oppressive, unwise and unjust resumption
act.
4th. That the interests OF the Demo
cratic party and the workingmen OF this
country are so closely connected that TO
forget the one would be to neglect the
other. and for this reason we pledge our
selves TO ever labor tor their interest," and
ask their hearty cooperation.

were given to those miners whose
credit was not good enough TO
get weeks provisions ahead

need of orders, as money was given TO
them and they settled their bills al the
end of the week.
