cf the party expressed and advocated
since lis foundation We believe in the
equality Of all men be'ere the law; that
public office is public trust, and that
honesty AMI competency ara the true

>. We believe that the message and adj
min s:ratinn OF President Cleveland have
been wise and patriotic, for which he de-
serves the thanks Of the people of all
classes and in all sections, and we declare
IT as our opinion that it Is best for the
whole people that he should be renomina-
ted and reelected.
,. That the views Of the president in
his message to cong ress in regard to the
t,riff are pure Jef,r sonian democracy
and sound states nanship; therefore, we
heartily endorse his views a cxpr2Sse d
in SAID message
4. We end1 re that clause OF the last
national democratic platform which de-
ciares that"w4 are opposed to all prop9-
sition~ which upon any pretext would
convert the general government into a
machine forcollect ing taxes to be dis
trIbuted among tho states or the citizens
thereof"
). We view with sa ATTRACTION the sue
cesefuI management OF state affairs for
the past tive years by the democratic par
ty Of Tennessee.
l. We look with pride upon the public
school ~ystem inaugurated by the state,
and We. believe that he state should con-
tinne . maintain, improve and control
tie same.
= We favor such reform in our penal
system "a will sep arate minor eonvicts
and offenders Of low grade from hardened
criminals aud will reduce to a minimum

fix the price Of commodities or to deprive
the lab1rer Of the just reward of his toll
