David S. Terry. Chairman of the Commit
tee on Platform. reported the following reso-
buttons:
The Democracy of the State of California,
as represented in Convention. hereby declare
that with mistaken faith in the soundness of
the constitutional principles and traditions of
the Democratica party, as illustrated by the
teachings and examples of long line of Dem
ocratic stateamen and patriots, and expressed
in the platform of the last Presidential Con.
vention of the party, we pledge ourselves to
maintain these principles, and to labor to
make them paramount in the administration
of the State and the General Government
THE CHINESE QUESTION
Rcsolred, That the Democratic party of
California tender its thanks to the Democracy
of the Union for long, earnest and partially
successful struggle, through the Democratic
Congressman, with hostile Republican ad-
ministratiop, against Chinese immigration and
in bshalf of the highest interests of the PEG.
pie of this coast. Such action again illus
trates the fidelity OF the party to its pledges
given to the people in the platforms of sue
cessive Presidential Conventions; again
recognizes that the people of each locality
are the best Judges Of their own wants and
necessities. and again declares the great doc
trine that it is the duty of the General Gov.
eminent TO heed their complaints and to ex-
tend its strong arm for their protection.
Resolred, That the Democratic party Of
California recognize with the highest appre
citation tie prompt and determined movement
in their behalf made by the workipgmen of
the Eastern States, and notably of Pennsyl-
vania, in representing the menace of free
people as an Irresistible power against the
combined efforts of vast moneyed corporations
and the monopolists of the Chinese trade,
who, in the name of the brotherhood of man,
and under tie cloak of universal charity,
were endesvoriug to thwart every effort made
in behalf of the permanent interests
of the white man in California, and we recog-
nize the interests of white labor everywhere
as in full alignment with the advancing
movement of the Democracy of the Union
in lis purpose to preserve the heritage we
have right to enjoy from the merciless raw
ages Of the Asiatic hosts. who have already |
captured many of our best industries, impoy.
erished thousands of our people, driven large
numbers into debauchery and crime, and al
most excluded Eastern and European immi-
grafton.
Resoired, That the Chinese now in Califor
MIA are an unmixed curse to this people. their
presence an ever-increasiDg evil, reaching
out to blast every avenue Of labor and every
branch Of trade; that they are, and so long
as they remain will continue to be, an unsur-
mountable barrier in the pathway of Califor- !
MIA towards the high destiny for which nature
has so amply equipped her; that in view of
this condition we confidently appeal to the
democrats OF the Union roi our oenVerance'
