DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

At the Territorial Democratic Con.
vention at Vancouver the following
resolutions were adopted as the plat
form on which that party will make
their campaign stand:
l. That We are unalterably opposed
to the dismemberment of the Terri. :
and are in favor of State gov. r..e. n.
at the earliest moment our popui II. a.
and wealth will justify the same.
2. That We are uuquAlliedly in favor
of the extension of time for the compile
tion OF the main line and branch Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, and we
recognize as enemies of the prosperity
of our people all who oppose such
extension.
5. That the improvement of the CO.
lumbis, Snake aud other great rivers
of our Territory are national works.
which should be prosecuted to an early
completion.
4. That We recognize the mutual de-
tendency of labor and capital, and
deprecate all attempts to antagonize
them in the combination Of capital to
control. and the strikes of labor to resist
this control. IS destructive to the true
interests of both.
5. That the present business depres.
sion and wide spread distress through
out the Union 10 chiefly attributable to
uuwise measures of finance for which
the Republican party is wholly respon
sible.
6. That the policy Of the Government
in relation to the Indian tribes on this
coast. the experience of the past DEM
onstrates to be . failure, and . change
therein is imperatively demanded; such
an abandonment Of the reservation
system as will insure the hreaking up
Of tho tribal relations Of the Indian, or
the consolidation OF al the reservations
irto one with military control, IN order
that the annual raids Of the hostile
bands and the murder Of our citizens
may be effectaally checked. The peace
and prosperity OF the Territory re-
quires.
Z. That the liberties Of our nation
rest in the intelligence Of its citizens.
and that our conmon school system
cannot be over estimated. nor can too
much care be bestowed to make it more
liberal and perfect.
9. That our nation 10 70 b eongratu-
