THE PLATFORM
ADOPTED ny TIKI DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION,

]. The democratic party of the
state Of Arkansas, through its repre-.
sentstives assembled in state con-
vention, recognizing that peace pros.
perlty and contentment are the fruits
Of good government, congratulate
the people of the state on the beniii-
cent results of just aud wise ad-
Ininistration of the states public af
fairs for the past two years, and on
the restoration Of power, in national
affairs, of the democratic party.
2. We endorse the national dem
ocratic administration, and re- affirm
our allegiance to the national demo.
cratic party and our firm adherence
to its time -honored principles, which
guarantee equality, liberty aud hap
piness 70 the citizens Of our common
country.
3. We maintain that the protec.
ton Of the rights Of life, liberty and
prosperity, the equality of all citizens
before the law, the right Of self.gov.
eminent and the supremacy of the
federal government within constitu.
tional limits are essential to the con.
tinuance Of free government.
4. We regret the depressed con.
dition Of the agricultural interests of
the state, and the strained relations
of capital and labor, and trace these
conditions directly to the operation
Of a high protective tariff, and we
commend the efforts OF our delega-
tion in congress in their support Of
the bill introduced by VIM. K. Nor
rison for the revision Of the tariff.
We re-afiirm our adherence to the
time honored democratic doctrine of
"a tariff for revenue only"
D. We are IN favor Of the unlim.
tied coinage OF silver, and demand
that the coin Of the United States,
gold and silver, be paid out on the
debts OF the government without dis
eliminating against silver.
o. We recognize that all indus
tries and all citizens should bear
their equal proportions Of the bur
dens OF government; that taxation
should fall equally upon all species
OF property, and we demand that
equal and exact justice in the -.
sessment and collection Of taxes, aud
favor such legnistioa - will foster
labor and honest industrie. and dis
courage monopoly.
The Osceola times., 1886-07-17

Z. We recommend the payment
Of the state debt as rapidly as it can
be accomplished under reasonable
taxation, consistent with public in
terest.
&. We demand equal protection
of all citizens. in their rights of per-
sons aud property, strict accounta.
bility of all officials, and the main
tainance of the purity Of the ballot.
9. We invite labor and capital to
assist in developing the great agri.
cultural, mineral aud manufacturing
resources Of our state, and favor lib
ersl Legislation for the encourage.
msnt Of immigration and the ioster-
ing Of progressive industries In the
taste.
10. We recognize that agricul-
ture is the main stay and chief sup
port Of the state; we demand that the
general assembly shall foster and en-.
courage it by establishing q bureau
Of agriculture and labor statistics,
with 4 view to the Improvement of
the conditions of the labor and the
advancement Of agriculture.
II. We recognize that public in.
telllgence is essential to good gov.
ernment, aud reaffirm our devotion
to the cause of the popular education,
and pledge the fostering care of the
state to q work so necessary to the
liberty and happiness Of the people.
l2. We recognize that railroads
are among the prime factors of mod.
ern civilization and we demand that
the general assembly shall foster and
encourage their construction and
maintenance by wise and Just laws,
and shall prohibit all willtul obstruc.
tion to their operation. At the same
time we declare that railroads are
public highways, subject to the con.
troll of the state for the benefit of the
public. We therefore demand that
the general assembly shall so rcgu.
late freight and passenger charges as
to protect the interests Of the people,
while doing justice to the railroads,
making their charges equal and uni.
form, aud shall prohibit, under severe
penalties, all determinations in favor
Of or against particular persons, 10.
calitiss and clsssss Of freight.
IL. In conclusion, we congratulate
the people of the state on the reduc.
tion Of taxes, the prosperous and
ilourishing condition Of our state in.
stitutiors, the large increase OF tax.
able property of fthe state, the reduc-
tion in the expenses of the state gov

EDITOR OscEoLA TINES Dear
Sir: In your issue of July 10TH, you
allude to the Haskins case, and the
Supreme Courts opinion thereof;
permit me to say that in my opinion
our Supreme Court has very much
dsgenerated since the days Of Eng.
lish and Eakin. To say that there
is no way Of righting wrong only
through Grand Jury is perfectly
absurd, especially when five meil
can balk jury and defeat justice.
No sir, there is just about MS much
wisdom in the Supreme Courts de.
cision as there was in Kepler's phi.
losophy when no contended that
"there we're guiding spirits to keep
the planets III their orbits, because
hs could not sec how else they were
to be kept in their orbits.
In 4lst. Arkansas Reports, State,
vs.. Wmtlock, page 403, it says:
"Since the adoption Of the consti.
tuition Of 1874, county and township
officers may DO prosecuted IN the
Circuit court and removed from Of.
iice for incompctcncy, corruption,
gross immortality. criminal conduct,

attorney Of tho circuit. No leave OF

essary; and in the absence Of a stat.
ute prescribing the practice, it mus,
be prosecuted according to the prsc.

But the lawyers will say the wri.
ter is a fool, and knows nothing abou,
the law; admit 1t rs true. a knowl.
edge Of the English is all that il
necessary TO understand the case as
rendered by that grand old man
Judge English, who had few equal.

WASMlNGTON LETTER
from Our Regular Corrsspondeut)
WAsnIxGToN, d. G., July IL, 1885.

WAsnixGTox, ID. g., July IL, 1885.
The Republicans IN Congress are
trying very hard to make political
capital against the President on &c.
count Of his pension vetoes. But the
vetoes are too we'll supported by
facts aud common sense to furnish
material for partisan appeals. 1t wss
to be expected however, that the
private pension gift Senators and
Representatives would grow wrathy
as the kind Of work they were en-.
gagged in was brought to light. The
failure of their little schemes togeth.
er with their exposure melted them
To reckless pitch Of determination
to secure the adoption Of these bills
anyhow, though there is little pros
pect of their success.
The Democratic leaders are re-
solved to stay here all summer, AS
one Of them said, before abandoning
their position in the matter. But
the Republicans have proposed n
compromise which will probably be
accepted. Under its terms two hours
will be allowed fer debate upon such
of the vetoed bills as may be select
ed, and at the expiration of the time
an aye and nay vote will be taken
the result Of which is to be regarded
final as to the other veto.s.
The report of the Senate Pension
Committee upon the vetoed bills war
little more than long and ill.con-
cealed howl of bailled rage. 1t even
accused the President of casting a
slur upon the chastity Of II woman
aud sneering at wounds received in
the service of the country. But so
many of those private measures are
obviously without merit, and more
attempts t" bestow gratuities upon
favored persons who have no real
claim upon the bounty of the Gov
ernment, that the Presidents action
will be more aPplauded the more at
tention is called to the grounds upon
which it is based.
The Republicans Of the House Of
Representatives made speeches upon
this issue that were intended TO be
very severe lpon the President, but
they were more plainly bids for po-
litical support than evidence of pa.
triotism. They proceeded upon the
assumption that the vetoes of private
pension bills are unpopular and will
not he sustained by public sentiment.
One answer made by Representative
Matson to some of their complaints
was interesting. He called attention
to the fact that many Of the cases re-
jected by Mr.. Cleveland had already
beer vetoed bv Republican Com
missioner Of pensions. The rejection
by the Senate of Mr.. Goode to be
Solicitor. General was the subject of
much discussion at the Capitol on
Saturday. The unanimous verdict
was that the opposition all centered
in Senator Malone, and the vote of
the Republican Senators was their
way of helping the thwarted, schem-
ing little politician TO roassert himself
in Virginia. AS no Democrat op-
posed the nomination, many Con-
gressmen think the proper thing for
the President to do WOULD be TO re-
appoint Mr.. tioode. He might have
done this II the Senate had merely
neglected 10 confirm, but since the
