Kansas Democratic Convention.
Topeka, kAs., Aug. 2l.-'rhe state
Democratic convention reassembled this
morning, and permanently organized
by the election of Col. A. s. Everett as
Chairman and IL. Miles Moore AS Seere-
tary. Col. Everett, on taking the chair,
made quite "a long speech, in which he
denounced the Republican party, took
strong grounds against the Prohibition
lists, and made an earnest appeal for re-
submission to the people of the prohibit
tory amendment. He eXtolled the
Democratic party, CulogiZed its
Presidential nominees, and predicted
their election. The Committee on Res
olutions then reported the platform,
which indOrses the resolution of the
Chicago Convention and the candidates
nominated 10y that body, commends the
administration of GOV. Click as wise and
pure, and names n number of marked
advantages to the people Of the State OBJ
tanned by it. II cOngratulatcs the peo-
of the State on the successful establish
ment by law of board of railroad com.
mis- ssiouers with enactments for their
guidance, which has resulted in mate
rial reduction of passenger fare and the
guaranteeing to the producer and ship
per of stable tariffs for the transportu-
ton of their various products. 1t de-
mands that the good work of restoring
the public lands to the State for home
stead settlement be continued until the
last acre is recovered, and that corpora
tions and foreign powers be not per-
mtted to acquire and fence in tracts OF
land to the injury of settlers. II declares
that all public lands in the
| IfnifpH Gtatao shnuII ha nnn,
actual settlers, and, therefore, favors
opening to settlers such land in the In
dian Territory. IL denounces the arrest
and removal of actual settlers from
such land by the United States troops,
and declares the refusal by the United
States Government to permit the ques-
ton relating to titles to land in tho So
called Indian Territory to be
decided by the United States
courts to he an outrage
on all citizens and oowardly evasion
of a direct call to answer u question of
vital Importance 10 such citizens. IL
pledges to the laboring classes the pro-
tecting hand of official power in their
struggles for life and happiness, opposes
the importation of paupor labor under
contract to compete with our citi.
Zens, and opposes convict labor as
being in opposition to the free labor
of our country. On the subject
of prohibition the resolutions say: Con.
stitutional prohibition has been fruitful
of discord, perjury and discrimination
1t has not lessoned the evils of intemper,
ance, hut rather destroyed the pure fro
side influence which must he the loving
power to control the appetite of the
; weak and wayward. That 4
has never been endorsed o
acquiesced in 10y u majority o
our people; that it is an assault upon tn,
] personal liberty of the citizens; that /
has destroyed and literally contiscate,
= private property without compensation
: and it Is not in harmony with the spiri
o of free people to dictate to an in
dividual what he shall eat, drink o
wear, and what religion, If any, he shal
profess. In view OF the foregoing an
e other reasons we demand
] resubmisson of the prohibitory amend
mcnt, and pledge ourselves To work un
coasingly for this object. We deman,
the repeal of the present obnoXiou
o and unjust law for the enforcement O
5 prohibition, and in its stead well reg
9 ulated licence system, rigidly enforced
r whereby the interest of truc tcmperanc
may be promoted and the liberty of tn
citizen restored, and we roiterate tn
views of your worthy candidat
+ in his letter of acceptance, that law
4 unnecessarily interfering with the hab
! its and customs with any of the mora
u sentiment of the civilized world, an,
2 which are consistent with good citizen
= ship and the public welfare, are unwis
h and veXatious.
