by the Chicago Convention on Wed.
nesday afternoon
SECTION I. The representatives OF
the Democratic party of the United
States in national convention assembl-
ed, do reafirm their allegiance to the
principles of the party as formulated
by Mr.. Jefferson and exemplifed by
the long and illustrious line of his sue
-cessors in Democratic leadership from
Madison to Cleveland; we believe the
the public welfare demands that these
principles be applied to the conduct of
the federal government through the
accession to power of the party that
advocates them, and we solemnly de-
clare that the need of a return to these
fundamental principles of free, polu-
lar government based on home rule
and individual liberty was never more
urgent than now when the tendency to
centralize all power at the federal
capitol has become menace to the
reserved right OF the states that strikes
at the very roots of our government
under the constitution as framed by
the fathers OF the republic.
SECTION 2. We warn the people OF
our common country, jealous for the
preservation OF their free institutions,
that the policy of federal control of
elections to which the Republican
party has committed itself is fraughl
with the gravest danger, scarcely less
momentous than would result from a
revolution, practically establishing
monarchy on the ruins of the republic
1t strikes at the North as well as the
South, and
INJURIES THE coLoRED CITIZENS
even more than the white; it means q
horde of deputy marshals al every
polling place armed with federal pow
er, returning boards appointed and
controlled by federal authority, the out
rage of the electoral right Of the peop,
lie in the several states, the subjugatior
of the colored people to the control o
the party in power and the reviving o.
race antagonisms now happily abated
OF the utmost peril to the safety aud
happiness Of ALL measure deliberately
and justly described by leading
Republican senator as the most in,
famous bill that ever crossed the thres
hold of the senate
Such policy, if sanctioned by law
would mean the dominance Of a sell
perpetuating oligarchy OF Office holders
and the party first entrusted with its
machinery could be dislodged from

worthy Of foreign lands.
Section IS. This convention here
by renews the expression OF apprecia-
ton Of the patriotism the soldiers
and sailors in the union in the
war for its preservation, and we
favor just the liberal pensions
for all disabled union soldiers, their
widows and dependents, but we de-
mand that the work of the pension
office shall be done industriousiy, i'm
partially and honestly. We denounce
the present administration of that
office as incompetent, corrupt, dis
graceful and dishonest.
Section II. The federal government
should care for and improve the Mis-
slssippi river and other great water
why's of the republic SO as to secure
for the interior states easy and cheap
transportation to the tdewater.
When any water way of the public is
OF sufficient importance to demand
the aid Of the government, that such
aid should be extended, a definite
plan of continuous work, until per.
manent improvement is secured.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL PROJECT.
Section IS. For purposes of ma
tlonal defense and the promotion of
commerce between the states, we
recognize the early construction Of the
Nicaragua canal and its production
against foreign control as of great
importance to the United States.
Section IS. Recognizing the
Worlds Columbian exposition as
national undertaking OF vast impor
tance, in which the general government
has invited the cooperation of all the
powers of the world, and appreciatlng
the acceptance by many Of such
powers of the invitation for extended d
and the broadest liberal efforts being
made by them to. contribute to the
grandeur OF the undertaking, we are of
the opinion that congress should make
such necessary financial provision as
shall be requisite to maintenance of
the national honor and public faith.
Section II. Popular education
being the only safe basis of popular
suffrage, we recommend to the several
states most liberal appropriation for
the public schools. Free common
schools are the nursery of good gov.
eminent, and they have always re-
ceived the fostering care of the Dem
ocratic party which favors everymeans
of increasing intelligence. Freedom
OF education being essentials of civil
and religious liberty as we'll as neces.
sity for the development of intelli.
gence, must not be interfered with
under any pretext whatever. We are
opposed to state interference with
parental rights and rights of cons
cience in the education OF children.
as an infringement of the tundamer-
tai Democratic doctrine that largest
individual liberty consistent with the
rights of others insures the highest
type Of American citizenship and the
best government.
THE NOTORIOUS SWEATING SYSTEM.
Section IS. We approve the action
OF the present house of representatives
in passing bills for the admission in
to the Union as states, of the terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona,
and we favor the early admission of
all the territories having necessary
population and resources to admit
them to statehood, and while they re-
main territories we hold that the
officials appointed to administer the
