The Democratic party Of the State Of Kan
sas, in convention assembled, hereby declares:
First-Thst We reafiirm and indorse the
principles and declarations set forth in the
Democratic platform adopted at Chicago in
1884 and on which Cleveland was elected Presi-
dent.
Second-The duty Of the Democratic party is
at this time again to appeal TO the intelligence
and patriotism. Justice and fairness OF the peo-
pie by unanimous denomination of Cleveland
for President
I Third-The confidence which led to the
election Of Cleveland has been JUSTIFIED by his
good works. The Civil-Service had long been de-
graded into an army Of political retainers and
has now been turned into q body OF honest and
industrious public servants. The perils Of
dangerous revenue have been pointed out by
the President and good reform suggestions have
been urged upon Congress. The true and real
interest Of the soldiers of the republic has
been faithfully and zealously guarded de-
Tended and promoted. rs evidenced by the
increase Of pensions TO soldiers and orphan
children and widows. Public confidence in the
financial operations Of the Government has
been established and has brought happiness
and prosperity to the country. A patriotic
spirit Of fraternity has been established be-
.
country, and We now are in spirit and truth one
people.
Fourth-We are now, as we always have
been, opposed TO wrong injustice and tyranny
in political or social form. We sympathize
with Ireland in her struggle for home rule as We
also do with the suffering and oppressed labor
ing classes Of this country in their contest with
the soulless mOnopolies.
Fifth-That the delegates to-day elected to
represent Kansas in the National Democratic
at st. Louis June 5 are instructed
to vote as unit for the denomination Of Cleve-
land for President and such person for Vice.
President rs will bring the greatest strength in
the November election.
Sixth-That while the Democracy Of Kansas
does not thinl. it wise to give instructions re-
garding the nomination Of any one for Vice
yet they think 1t best that the Demo
cracy Of Indiana and New York should govern
bur delegation in the selection Of President and
Vice President. The convention favors that
General Charles w. Blair be continued % Kan
Ias' representative.
At this point the Seventh district re-
ported the following delegates: n. J.
OMara, Of Mead Center, and James Nc
Of Hutchinson.
