DEMOCRATIC CoNsIsrENcY.

Extract from the last North Dako.
tn Democratic platform:
Resolved. That we recognize the
people rs the source of all power
in the state. and favor only such sys.
tenn Of laws as shall preserve to them
the greatert personal liberty, and we
are unalterably opposed to granting
any privileges, or passing any sumptu.
AIRY laws Which shall bind the people
against their will. without the right to
change
The above extract is similar to the
platform of the National Democratic
party made ut st. Louis in 1884 and re.
affirmed in 1883. Tile Pembina coun
to democratic convention endorsed
the national platform. The LIST sella
torial district convention at Necl,t
last week, endorsed the national plat
form in its preamble and added the
farmers alliance platform to its reso
lutions, the 5tl plank of which is
prohibition state and National" By
which it appears that the national
party is against prohibition. the state
party is against prohibition, the coun.
ty party Is against prohibition, and
the LIST senatorial party believes just
the same as do the tile national, state
and county parties and yet are for pro.
hibition. No wonder sucl, an old
fashioned democrat us A. 4. Nelson
uxotsgted against such a mixture of
doctrines.

ELECTION LAW

AS the election law is considerably
changed by the constitution, we have
deemed it proper to reprint the same
this week and call attention to
some of the changes. twill be MOTTO
ed that much longer residence is
required, the old law being ten days in
the precinct, three months in the terri.
tory, etc. The most remarkable
change however is in the second sec.
ton of the first article. by this will be
seen that person will have to have
declared his intentions to become IL
citizen at least one year previous in
order to be IA legal voter. And further
compels persons to take out their sec.
ond papers within SIX years after or
else they are denied the right to vote.
We think there are many persons in
these northeastern counties who have
neglected taking out their second pa.
pers and will be debarred from voting
in consequence.
Section l22 makes woman suffrage
possible by Il vote Of the people simply.
1t will DC necessary to register for the
constitutional election, according to
the registration law of 1851. The fol.
lowing is the law us in the cullstitu.
ton and VIC recommend IL careful read.
ing of it.
ARTICLE v.-ELEtTIoN FRANCHISE.
sec. III. Every male person of the age
oftwcnty -one years or upward, belong

who shall have resided in the state one
year, in the county six months and in

First. Citizens of the United States.
Second. Persons of foreign birth who
shall have declared their intention to be-
come citizens, one year and not more than
six years prior to such election conform
able to the naturalization laws of the
United States.
Third. Civilized persons of Indian des.
cent who shall have severed their tribal

such election.
