form OF the national Democratic party,
promulgated in ST. Louis, in 1888, as the
basis and essential to the continuance OF
the Government which is to be republi-
can in form as well as in name.
These principles in fact antidate all
existing Government and haye invited
and sustained every effort ever made to
liberate mas ses from the thraldom of the
few to advance freedom of thought and
speech, and to broaden the boundaries of
human liberty. The people are Of right
the sole source of power, the final arbitor
of whatever effects their own welfare
and destiny and public officers are public
servants and accountable to them for the
management of their trust. Constitutions
adopted by the people express their will
and should not be nullifed, restricted or
enlarged by construction.
The appearance of huge monopolies
and trusts on the one hand, and commu>
nism on the other, are equally dangerous
the former seeking to control the entire
order OF things and the latter seeking to
disrupt all order. The latter, however,
is the result of the former, and both are
the offspring of the extravaganza and
corruption of the so-called Republican
party.
The tariff, formulated and maintained
by tie party, nourishes the unhealthy
growth Of the money power at the ex
pense of every industry. 1t was the for.
tune of the rich by saddling burdens up
on the laboring poor; unnecessary and
unequal taxation discriminating against
necessaries for the subsistence OF the
poor, and in favor of the unnecessary
luxuries Of the rich; first depressingiy
slipped upon the shoulders of the natic Il
has finally become the boast OF the Re
publican party, which points the people
to their yoke with pride, and expects by
fraud and sectional prejudice wrongtuliy
excited to continue its corrupt and tyran-
nical oppression regardless Of the mad
extravaganza OF its measures.
We repudiate and decline to share in
any feeling of sectional prejudice. and
gladdened by every indication OF full
and free sympathy between all parts OF
the Union, hail with delight better
knowledge each of the other and the
dawn oil a heart-feeling of brotherhood
where hatred can find no exponent IN
party measures.
In the present condition OF the affairs
OF our State we favor:
First-More encouragement to the
emigration of reputable citizens.
Second-Encouragement to all indus
tries, but with the constant mlndfuiness
that with us agriculture is the chief OF
them, and the basis OF all our supplies.
Third-Special encouragement to stock
raising and dairying-
Fourth-Encouragement to the invest
ment OF capital here in enterprises in
manufacture and cheap transpOrt&ti0naI
facilities.
Fifth-Such legislation as will tend to
cheaper interest on money loaned and as
will give assurance that the right OF
capital and labor will be preserved as
alike sacred, and such us will also pro-
tect the people from oppression by mo-
norlies.
Sixth-We favor liberal policy con-
sistent with a proper. but not parsimou-
ious, economy towards. our humane, be-
nevoent and educational institutions, in
which we take pride both as citizens and
State.
Seventh-ln all measures we desire to
impress the necessity of a just, careful
but wise economy.
Eighth-We recommend that the ques
| ton of convention to revise our pres
ent constitution be made an issue before
the people in the coming election, so
that tneymay be en- lightened by the dis
Gus sion and That he Legislature elected
govern itself accordingly.
| Ninth-We heartily approve the tidcl
ity to duty, wisdom and capacity whict
have marked our present state admins
tration and thoroughly commend th'
course of our Senators and Representa-
tives in the Congress Of the United
States.
Tenth-That we approve the vigoru
acts of the Governor OF this State in hi
attempts to prevent the violation Of on
laws in the late brutal prze-tight whicl
occurred within our borders, and his ei
forts to arrest the criminals. That W
insist that our State shall not be mad
the theater for the brutal sports G
criminals or rougbs from abroad, and "
ask our Governor TO continue his eXer
tions to arrest and bring to punishment
the principals and aiders and abetors i
said violations of the laws, whether tn
offenders be corporations or individual:
