 country upon the election and inauguration of the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President, and says: "These fortu- nate events and the wise administration that has followed have already dispelled the illu- sion that Democratic success is inconsist- ent with the business interests of the country or perilous to the rights of the freedmen. We congratulate Presi- dent Cleveland and his Cabinet on the aus picious beginning they have made in the necessary reform of the government, and heartily endorse their administration. We approve the measures taken by Democratic Congress for preventing the seizure of un- earned lands by railroad companies, and by Democratic President in firmly holding
 public lands for public uses and in prevent
 ing their unlawful occupation. We especial ly commend the fidelity of the Democratic
 members of the General Assembly to the
 party in favor of licensing the traffic in in- toxicating liquors."
 The platform continues: 'tEvery Democrat in both branches of the General Assembly voted to submit for popular adoption con stitutional amendment providing for license. Enough Republicans protesting to be in it's favor were present in the House to have given it the three-fifths necessary for it's suc- cess, but refused to vote for the avowed and only reason that it was proposed by Demo- | crats. The Democratic party is, as it always
 has been, opposed to sumptuary legislation and unequal taxation in any form, and is in favor of the largest liberty of private con- duet, consistent with the public welfare and the rights of others, and it is in favor of reg
 ulating the liquor traffic and providing against the evils resulting therefrom by g | iudicious and properly graded license sys- l tenn.
 'sThe Democratic party is and always has | been the party of the people and of the agri-
 cultural and wool growing interests, the ene- my of monopoly, the friend of labor in whose ! hands the interests of workingmen are and always will be safe; and we favor arbitration
 as the wisest means of settling differences
 between labor and it's employers.
 | "We mourn the death of General Grant. l The citizens of his native State, without dis tinction of party, sorrow at his loss ano
 cherish the memory of his modest and heroic character and his great deeds as among thei1 l proudest public possessions. We sympath 1 ize with his bereaved widow and children
 and we trust and hope that his last words
 urging harmony and good will between the sections may be so taken to heart by hii countrymen that the section alienation O
 hate may be thing of the past"
