The platform as agreed upon by the committee Of
the Democratic Convention yesterday. and adopted,
afirms that the democratic party. being the only
party which has always obeyed and maintained the
federal constitution is therefore the only that
can be trusted to administer the organic law of
the State. 1t pledges the party to the support
of its provisions, to economical administra-
ton and to the reduction of taxation and
its equal and uniform imposition upon all
classes Of property. 1t condemns Chinese immi-
grafton and indorses the action of the democrats
in Congress, who secured the passage of the Thur
man bill, compelling railroads to pay the interest
bonds. 1t declares in favor of legislative control
of corporations and the regulation of freghts and
fares. and demands the protection of mining in

which have not been reserved by States AS suf-
frage is privilege conferred exclusively by States
each State for itself-agreeably to the constitu-
tionally expressed will OF the people thereof.
any attempt of the general to interfere
with elections in the States, or in any OF them is
dangerous to the liberties Of the and destruc

therefore, we condemn as unconstitutional and sub

OF republican origin and adoption by which federal
empowered to interfere with the registration of
voters and United States troops are stationed at
polling places to intimdate dsfranchise citizens,
native and naturaized."

Hayes. sitting Executive officer OF the govern
pressed by Congress in his rejection Of bills passed
by that body to repeal obnoxious and unconstitu-
tonal laws during the present special session. The
democrats of California earnestly approve the con-
dnct of the democrats in both houses of Con-
gress for their Arm adherence to the just de-
termination in the repeal Of laws by which
the rights of voters interfered with at the in
