ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 9.-Ths
convention was called to order again
at 2:45. The temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent. The plat
form demands fast adherence to the con-
stitution of the United States and con-
tinues: We denounoe the recent attempt
of the Republicans in congress to usurp
power to impose unjust taxation, to stihe
the proper discussion of public measures,
to substitute dictatorship of the speaker
OF the house for considerats action of
deliberate assembly, and TO enact into
law mOnstrous proposals for overturning
election laws of states and substituting
for local supervisors of election meroe-
nary and INSCRIPTIONS agents of the Re-
publican party. We hold that party as
now controlled to be an agency of malsd-
minisIration and mismanagement.
On the tariff it says: "We demand
the reduction of all tariff taxes to the
lowest rate compatible with the just dis
charge of the obligations resting upon q
fair government, and so long as the sys-
tenn of customs taxation Is maintained,
that it shall contain q tariff for
revenue only. We congratulate
the Republican party upon its recent
concessions to the Democratic policy in
volved in the advocacy by certain
eminent Republican leaders of that plan
of free commercial exchanges with GER
tain foreign countries which is known as
reciprocity. This partial free trade has
formerly operated to the VAST advantage
of the people of the United States under
reciprocity treaties with the Sand
witch Islands. 1t can be easily
extended. We deuounoe the principal
features of the measure now pending IN
the Federal congress under the name OF
the Mckinley bill as unjust and unneo-
essary additions to the already excessive
burdens of local taxation.
Thomas Wilson of Winons was nomin-
: ated for governor, and for lieutenant
