ITS PLEDGES AND PRINCIPLES.
The following is the platform adopted:
Resolred, That the Democratic party in
this Convention again pledges itselfto the
principles it has invariably adopted, and
which n majority OF the people OF this
State have repeatedly approved. The
constitution and Union shall he maintain
ed with supremacy OF the civil military
authority; the largest individual liberty
consistant with the public order, the
equality OF rights for all citizens; local self
and the limitations OF the
constitution to be observed by those adj
ministering the affairs oithe Federal Coy.
ernment. 5.h''I ...''t'Fii ~
I'd. We demand that rigid economy
shall be observed in every department of
the State and Federal Government, and
that salaries OF public officers be reduced
Us the necessities OF the times require. d.
Sd. That deep seated and continued cor
ruptions among the Federal; office holders
and employees shall cease; and We demand
Of Congress that it shall rigidly and per-
sistcntly pursue investigations to uncover
the fraudulent practices and ring con-
trivances which deplete the treasury and
add to the burdens OF the people.
4th. We condemn the monstrous frauds
and daring and unrighteous action by
which the people OF the United States
we're cheated and deprived OF their choice
in the last Presidential election; bold
plot and unparalleled fraud which struck
at the heart Of the Republic; plot and
fraud which shall not be condoned and
shall never be repeated.
4 5th. That the public lands shall be pre-.
served for actual settlers, and subsidies Of
money or lands to corporations and spccu-
lators shall cease forever. IN EnFt g
9th. That the Constitution OF the United
States recognizes gold and silver as the
standard money Of the Union, and rs this
standard IL the most stable, basis for the
commercial necessities OF the world, the
Democratic party OF the Union has never
failed to recognize and support this essen
tial principle. a great and costly war,
and Republican financial frauds and cor
ruption, brought an irrcdccmablc currcn-
cy under which the price OF every COM
modify has fluctuatcd, industrial interests
have suffered, labor has been deprived OF
It's reward, and many business men brought
to bankruptcy. Buf the laws OF trade, with
a large balance OF foreign exchange in
favor OF this country, have brought us TO
the door OF a redeemable currency and n
sound basis for an improved and prosper
ous state OF affairs, which will place the
creditor and debtor Of the Government on
the same financial plane.
7th. That the resumption act, so called,
was In its inception unwise, uncallcd for
and not demanded at the time Of its enac.
ton by those laws of trade which govern
with unerring certainty the finances Of
country; and having confidence in the
Senators and Representatives Of this State
In the Congress OF the United States, We
unhesitatingly rely upon their integrity
and Judgment, believing they will be con-
trolled in their action upon the question
OF resumption by those well known prin.
ciples which underlie the necessities OF
commerce and the best interests OF the
nnnnla nf thia Stnte
sth. We condemn all population, and
demand an honest and just payment ofthc
public debt; We denouncc tho financial
policy Of tho Republican administration
as the direct and shortest way to universal
bankruptcy and total Reputation, and we
declare that whatever currency X issued
It should bc for tho bencftof the whole
people,
Fs!h. That We demand oiiour Senators
and Representatives in Congress, their
earnest efforts to increase our trade with
