Democratic County Platform.

Resolved, That the democratic party of
Pennington county in convention assembled,
reaffrms its allegiance to its principles to the
national democratic parry as enunciated by
platforms Of the democratic party III the ma
tional conventions OF 1876, 1880, 1881 and
We extend a cordial invitation to all good
people to join with us in securing the correc-
lion Of many abuses in our local affairs, and
in establishing equality an fair representation
for the masses OF the people Irrespective oftheir
business of centralized power.
We pledge the representatives OF our party if
elected to legislature to secure the enactment
OF such laws as may be necessary to equalize
the burdens OF taxation and enact laws with
severe penalties for the punishment of persons
property for taxation or who wilfully make
and file false afidavits with the commissioners
to secure a reduction OF taxes and also to Sc
cure the enactment OF such provisions as may
be necessary to empower the commissioners
to investigate all questions pertaining 20 the
taxation OF property both real and personal
and subpoena witnesses before them to testify
IN any case respecting the taxation of property.
1--WE deprecate the open p :licy OF the repub-
Hcan party as expressed in its action in its pri.
maries and convention In selecting the non
as the recipient Of its favor, in preferance to Il
resident Of their own county, a young man with
. clean record who had an honorable ambition
to represent his state in the halls of congress.
We deplore the apparent increase Of intern
perance in our country and we pledge our rep
resentatives, if elected to the legislature, to Sc

necessary to carry into effect the provisions
OF our organic law as expressed by the voice Of

We believe in a reform OF our present ballot
system and pledge the representative of our par
ty, II elected, to secure the enactment of the
Australian system OF b~alloting at elections,
with all the safeguards necessary to secure its
enforcement. And we deplore the fact the bill
providing for such reform after passing both
branches of the legislature at it's last session
was stolen before it reached the executive, and
thereby the people were deprived OF the benefit
Intended to be secured.
Resolved, hat we earnestly invite all lovers
OF good government, OF whatever party. all
who are opposed to the dectation of bosses Or
the undue influence in politics or corporate
wealth and power, to join with us in all honest

When the republican bosses Of Pen
~nington county met in convention 1t
was TO enact farce. They had met III
secret long before and formulated their
plans; they had in their power and en-
ploy the tools TO carry those plans into
effect. The little band OF farmers who
had been invited i'll TO partakc OF the
Eeast(Dattcnptcd To be heard, but the
effort was in VAIN. AS well does the
waters OF the sea beat against the base
OF the rocks which conline it. With u
patronizing smile the bosses did their
work. The principles they enumerated

" His henciman for every thing in sight
or rC0cll.' 1t Was then that the scales
fell from the eyes Vi many men who had
heretofore bco1 blind followers OF the
bosses because OF the political labels
they wear. They realized that when
the wishes OF the people and the needs
OF the bosses conflict that the people
go to the wall; that might makes right:
and success is honesty, in the boss die
tionary.
Heretofore the masses have stood idly
by and allowed the lew to do all Tho
fighting and carry OF the spells, here
after thoy propose, that here N tho

Gus readers will find i'll another
column three political platforms,
One adopted by the republican convcn-
ton OF South Dakota, another adopted
by the democratic county convention Of
Pennington county, the third the plat
form Of the Farmers Alliance. There
will also be found the republican state
ticket and the democratic county ticket.
What is the meaning Of this strange
combination? 1t means that the people
are waking up to Tie fact that party
chains have held them until their libcl-
ties have almost disappeared before the
political vultures, who, not content
with stealing them, have long ago at
tackled the bread and butter Of the pco-
pie who furnish the brains, the bone and
muscle, and the moral strength to the
country. While these three istrumcntS
were adopted by institutions differing
widely in many minor matters u scru,
tiny reveals the fact that they agrec
on all important matters. \ study OF
the tickets and their history will also
show that while the two sets OF men arc
directly opposed in some matters per,
tanning to national politics they are a
unit on the important questions that
are to-day before the people Of Dakota
The men on the state ticket were nomi'
mated by the influence and with the en-
-luisc;acnt of the Farmers Alliance hnd
and prohibitions OF South Dakota, they
stepped on a platform containing
prohibition plank Of the most uncom'
promising character, and another that
recognizes the rights OF the farmers tc
be heard in the affairs Of government
The democrats OF Pennington county
reiterated these declarations OF principle
