Kansas Democratic Doctrine.
Topeka, KS, May 29.-The State Demo
cratic Convention, to elect delegates to the
National Convention, met at 4 O'Clock.
John I. Barris Of johnson county was
elected temporary Chairman, who, in 8
brief speech. pronounced for tariff reform.
and hoped the great political crime enacted
in 1876 would not be forgotten, and that
the National Convention would nominate
s. j. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks,
which met with great applause. The
usual business committees were then ap-
pointed. The Committee on Resolutions
reported the following:
Resolved, That the Democracy Of Kan
sas indorse and approve the tariff reform
movement and policy az expressed in the
address Of Hon. J. G. Carlisle on assum-
ing the position Of Speaker of the National
House Of Representatives.
Resolved, That any system Of taxation
which produces more than 500, 000, 900 OF
annual surplus, is an outrage On the peo-
pie, beneficial only to cormorants who
prey upon the public wants; we favor such
q reform system as will produce with the
internal revenue q sum sufficient to raise a
fund to pay all legitimate expenses Of the
Government, honestly and economically
administered The import duties Of the
tariff should be principally upon luxuries.
The taxation of necessities, and the gen.
eral wants OF the great mass Of the people
should be materially reduced on the
whole, that the tariff system be 30 ad.
justed that the burden of taxation should
fall on that class best able to bear
them, and that the manufacturing and
laboring interests of the country be pro-
tected against unjust foreign competition,
both in price Of material and the value OF
labor.
Resolved, That we do not deem il nee
essary to instruct our delegates, having
confidence in the ability, integrity, dis
elimination and judgment Of these gen.
tlemen to represent the Democracy Of
Kansas in the National Convention of the
party at Chicago. We desire it to be dis
tinctly understood that our preference is
for that peerless statesman and stainless
patriot, Samuel j. Tilden, and we demand,
il it is possible, in his noble name and that
Of his associate, that the atrocious crime
Of 1876 shall be wiped out from the record
OF the nation.
