Ex.Lieut. Gov. William Fl. Sims,
from the committee on resolutions,
reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted;
We adopt the principles of the plat
form of the National Democratic party
promulgated in 81. Lonis in 1889, as
basis and essential to the contin
uance of government which is to be
republican il spirit IS well as in name.
These principles, in fact, antedate all
existing governments aud have melted
md sustained every effort ever made to
liberate the masses from the thralldom
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
affects their own welfare and destiny.
and public officers are their public
servants and accountable to them for
the management of their trust. Con-
stitutIons adopted by the people
express their will, and should not be
nuliIied, restrictel nor enlarged by
construction. The appearance Of huge
monopo!ies and trusts on the Que hand
and Communists on the other are
equally dangerous, the former seeking
to control the entire order OF thing and
the latter seeking to disrupt all order
The latter, however. is the result
of the former, apd both are the of
spring of the extravaganza and corrup-
lion of the so.callel RspnbliCan party.
The tariff formulated an maintained
by that party nourishes the unhealthy
growth OF the money power at the
expense of every industry Itswells
he fortunes of the rich by saddlinq
burdens upon laboring people. Un.
necessary, unequal taxation, discrimin-
sting against neeessaries for the cub
slstence of the poor and in favor oil
the unnecessary
LUxURIEs OF THE RIoH,
first deprecatingly slipped upon the
shoulders Of the nation, has 6ualIy
became the boast of the Republican
party, which points the people to their
yoke with pride, and expects by fraud
and sectional prejudice, wrongfully
excited. to continue. its corrupt aud
outrageous oppression, regardless Of
the mad extravaganza of its measures
We repudiate and decline TO serve in
any feeling of sectional prejudice, and
are gladdened by every indication OF
fulland free sympathy between all parts
of the Union. We hail with delight a
better knowledge each of the Others and
the dawn of the hearty feeling of
brotherhood where hatred can find nc
exponent in party measures.
In the present condition Of affairs in
our State we favor:
1. More encouragement to the
immigration of reputable citizens.
2. Encouragement to all industries
but With the constant mindfulness that
with us agriculture is the chief of them
and the basis of all our supplies.
8. Special encouragement to stock
raising and dairyiug.
4. Encouragement to the invest.
ment of capital here in enterprises OF
manufacture and cheap transportation
facilities.
8. Such legislation rs will tend to
cheaper interest on money loaned, and
will give assurance that the rights Of
capital and labor will be preserved as
alike sacred, and such as will always
protect the people from oppression by
monopolies.
6. We favor liberal policy con-
sistent with proper but not parsi-
