The platform affirms the platform adopted

II heartily endorses the nomination of Cleve-
land and Hendricks. 1t sets forth the fol-
lowing:
WHEREAS, The corporate, partnership and
personal banks in this state receiving de-
posits, and transacting other business per-
tanning to banking exceed $50, larger
number than the national banks therein,
and
WHEREAS, Within the year last past sew
eral hundred thousand dollars have been
worse than stolen by banks organized under
the laws OF the state, and by private associa-
lions and bankers, causing great distress to
many depositors who, in most instances are
persons not familiar with the securities of
banking institutions, and some of the least
OF these banks whould have been closed up
before they had secured such deposits had
an examination of their condition been made
| by competent person, therefore,
Resotved. That for the protection Of those
who deposit their money in the corporate
partnership, or private banks, in behalf of the
sound and legitimate banks and bankers,
who are brought into disrepute by shysters
assuming their name, and in the interest of
the whole people, we demand that the next
Legislature pass law providing for the ex-
animation of each of such banks at least
once in each six months, by a competent
person, and prescribe rules and regulations
| therefor.
Resolred, That we hold it is unjust to place
the labor of prison convicts in competition
with any of the manufacturing industries of
the state, and demand that the prison con-
| tract system be abolished.
Resolced, That we are opposed to the further
sale of pnblic lands suitable for agricultural
purposes, except to actual settlers.
Reso!ced, That we recognize the right yea,
the duty of society to guard and protect itself
by proper and suitable legislation against the
evils resulting from the excessive use of in
toxicating liquors, but we do not believe in
sumptuary laws, prohibition or equivalent
measures to be either adopted TO that end, or
promotive of higher standard of morality.
On the contrary we hold, with Gov. Cleveland
that such legislation would be unwise and
veXatious.
