The Democratic Convention now
assembled, congratulate the people of
Idaho Territory upon the suspicious
outlook OF Democracy, not only in
our Territory but throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States.
We endorse as the wisest and best
platform ever adopted for the guild
ance Of free people, that Of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention held in
Chicago July 9Th, 1884, and pledge
ourselves to the faithful adherence of
the principles therein enumerated.
Resolved, That in the course adopt
ed by the Republican administration
III appointing non-residents to rule
and govern US in Territorial affairs.
men, who in many instances have no
direct interest with the settler or the
development of our young and rising
State, we recognize a danger, and un
business that but lily repays the pio-
neer for the dangers he encountered
in making these mountains and val
leys habitable to man, and we demand
that men who had the hardihood and
energy to face the stealthy red man,
to bridge the streams, hew down the
mountains and utilize the virgin soils
OF. our valleys, are capable of admin
istering our laws, knowing our wants
and giving us all proper relief.
| Resosued, That we hail with pleas
ure the influx of the hardy sons of toll
in the agricultural and farming dis
tricts of the Territory, and as the
Democratic party has always been the
true friend of the pioneers of all in
dustries, we, therefore, favor the pas
sage of such laws by Congress and
our Legislatures, as will give to the
farmers of our Territory a protection
against incroachments of land mono
poles and fraudulent entries of pub
lie lands as against the bona fide set
tiers.
RESOLVED, That we regard our mines
/ as one OF the most important factors
in the list of our growing industries,
and we are in favor of law that will
protect the miner ii his wages and
make him preferred creditor, and to
that end, favor proper legislative en-
actments to secure his rights as such
preferred creditor
| Rssolted; That we recognize the
| full weight, business, importance, and
final result of the claim of our citi-
zens OF Northern Idaho In their an
nexation views, and here in open CON
vention, backed by an honest democ-
racy, we pledge to our Northern
neighbors willingness and co-opera-
ton on our part TO accede to their
wishes on this proposition in mutu-
atty Of feeling that shall bind us to-
gether fraternally now, and sow the
seeds of eternal friendship when the
separation may come, and we ask our
Northern friends to accept this pledge
IN the honesty of its intention, aud
with the full assurance that it is based
upon the promise Of a permanent res
ldent, political organization, and not
the imported vibrations of homeless,
faithless, wandering political mendi-
i cants.
/ Resolrea, That in the persons Of
Grover Cleveland and I. A. Hem
bricks, the National nominees of De-
moeraey for President and Yice-Pres-
ident of the United States, we recog-
nize the embodiment of the principles
on which our government was found
ed, and principles on whichits perpe-
tuity must depend.
Resoired, That the condition of our
Territorial Treasury now iustifes and
we favor and demand, the total repeal
of the Territorial proportion Of what
| is known as the Poll Tax Law.
| R-solred, That the nominee of this
convention pledges himself to the
support of the principles herein pro-
mulgated.
The above resolutions were unan-
