rourth-We favor q tariff law based upon
public necessities and not upon the greed
and demand of capital
Fifth-We favor the free coinage OF silver
Sixth-We favor such change In our nseal
| laws "a will leave the control OF the circu'
| lating medium OF the country Wnoi'y IN '"s
hands Of the Government.
seventh-We favor liberal and Just PEN
sion laws as q rightful recognition OF great
debt due by the country to all deserving
| Union soldiers
| Eiehth-The Democracy Is a party OF ware
| sarners and producers, and we but speak
| for ourselves when W express our sympathy
| for labor in its struggles vi it'll the insatiate
| money power, whether in the factory OF on
the farm.

| legislation and demand the earliest resub-
mis,io of the SO called ~ Ohibitory amend.
ment to q vote of the electors and an imme'
date repeal of the laws passed in the inter-
est of prohibition which confer dangerous
powers upon the court, and substantially
deprive the citizens of trial by jury and To-
cal self government, and we declare une-
Quivocally for high license and local option.
Tenth-We arraign the Republican MEM
hers of the present National House OF Rep
resentatives from Kansas for their unani-
nous vote for the Mckinley hi which. a.
Hon. James Gillespie Blaine ID would not
provide a market for 4 single bushel OF Kan
sas wheat or a -ingls barrel of Kansas pork.
We condemn this vot as being in the in
terest of the man ufacturers OF the East and
against the farmers and working men OF
Kansas.
Eleventh-As the Republicans of this State
In their late convention made John James
ingalls, an issue in this campaign. we are
compelled to ask the people of Kansas to re-
pudiate a man who in a widely circulated
interview, denounced reform in politics as
an "iridescent dream" declared that 'the
decalogue has no place in politics., and ex-
pressed the belief that the use of money in
campaigns and the employment of hired
Hessians were justifiabie.
Twelfth-We believe that prohibition has
brought upon the people OF this State meal
culabe evils and has tended to produce, as
its legitimate results, perjury and bribery,
has corrupted the very foundations OF just
ice by a system of hired sp es and informers
and made at times our courts a disgrace in
tho adm inistration of public justice.
Thirteenth-We declare emphatically in
favor of high license and local option, and
recommend a law providing that for each
license issued for the sale of liquor $500
shall be paid to the county treasurer for the
purpose of making and improving county
roads. and that the city municipalities shall
in addition fix such sums as the mayor and
councils may determine.
FOurteenth-We are emphatically in favor
of the exercise by the Legislature of its un-
doubted powers to regulate the operations
of railroads in this State. to the end that
passenger and freight rates shall be equal.
reasonable and fair. There is no legal right
in railroads to charge a small shipper q
higher rate than a large one, nor is 1t just
for common carriers 10 charge higher sum
for the transportation of agricultural prod
ucts than of any merchandise.
Fifteenth-We favor a liberal appropria-
ton by Congress for the purpose of thor
oughly testing the practicabiiity OF irriga
ton in the western portion of this State.
and also in favor of a liberal appropriation
by Congress for a deep water harbor on the
Gulf of Mexico. and it is the judgment of
this convention that the railroads of the
State should be required to pay taxes upon
the full amount of their capital
