DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM.

The Democratic party of the Union,
through its representatives In Nauon
Convention assembled, recognizes that as
.he nation grows older new issues are born
OF time and progress, and old ISSUES per
ish, But the fundamental principles OF
the Democracy, approved by the united
VOICE of the people, remains, and will ever
remain, as the best and only security for
the continuance of q free government aud
the preservation of personal rights. The
EQUALITY of all citizens before the law, the
reserved rights Of the States and suprem-
acy OF she Federal Government within the
limits Of the Constitution, will form the
true basis OF our liberties, and never De
surrendered without destroying the rights
and powers which enable . continent 10
be developed. Peace aud social order to
be maintained by local self government
Ii is indispensable for the practical sppll-
cation of fundamental principles hat the
Government should not always be con
trolled by one political party. A frequent
change Of administration is as necessary
as the constant recurrence TO popular @ilI;
otherwise abuses grow, and the Govern
ment's fundamentally for imposing bur
dends on the many who are governed, for
the benefit of the men who govern. The
public servants become arbitrary rulers,
This is now the condition OF the
country. Hence, a change IS de-
msnded. The Republican party, sc
far as principle is concerned, Is a reminls-
cenoe, in practice, an organization ioF
enriching those who control its machinery
Frauds and robbery have been brought to
light in every department Of the Govern
ment and are sufficient to have called ior
reform within The Republican party. LEI
those in authority are made reckless py
that long possession of poser, and have
succumoed 10 corrupting influences, snd
placed the nomination of a ticket against
the independent portion OF the party Ia
open revolt. A change Is demanded. Saeh
Q change was siike necessary IN 1870, oat
she will Of the people was defeated by q
fraud which can never be forgotten nor
condoned. Again in 1850 S change wasds-
mandei by the people, but MAS defeated ey
the lavish use Of money contributed oy IN
scrupaioaS contractors And shameless !oe-
bers. who ~hargained for unlawful pro1fs
or hisa oses. The Republican party,
during its legal, its stolsa and oo1sAi
power, has steadily 6eesyei in moral chSr-
