contract system IN our State prison, by which
The products of criminal labor are brought
iuto competition with the products OF honest
labor, To the great lDjnry OF the latter, is
vicious and unwlse and should be corrected.
keSoiDcG, That the course of the last Repub-
lican leg gisalure deserves the condemnation of
the people for Its incompetency, hypocrisy
and It's unnecessary and heavy increase in the
burdens OF taxation and for Lhe passage OF
unconstitutional acts, and for its reorganiza-
ton of the benevolent institution OF the State
solely for the purpose as a medium for the
distribution OF spOils.
RcSOLved, That the nunanities are non par
tisan, and as the treatment of criminals should
be n-politica], the management of the charl-
table institutions of the State should be free
from partisan changes or appointments.
Res0tued, That we are in favor of civil
service reform, whereby offices shall be held
to be public trust, to be administered for the
public good not spOils to be enjoyed as the
reward of partisan zeal and services.

this year, as in all years, are III favor OF the
largest individual liberty consistent with the
public order, and are opposed to legislation
merely Eumptuary.
Resolued, That the recent discovery of enor-
nous speculations in high federal places, and
the Republican attempts TO purchase votes by
corruption, should convince the country that
the Republican organization is not worthy of
public confidence.
Resolued, That the power delegated to the
general government to regulate commerce
among the States, as well as the power re-
served to the States to regulate commerce
within their own borders should be both ex-
ercised to prevent unjust discrimination and
unreasonable charges by our railroads. A
tari adi n
its details with view to equalize
the public burdens and the encouragement of
productive industries without creating mo-
nopolies, and we favor the appointment of a
commission to suggest a method of revision
which shall accomplish this result

tion of the following, though not included in
the platform:
