hereby heartily accept the platform of
principles enunciated by the National
Democracy at its convention in Chica-
go, and cordially endorse the nominees
of that convention, Grover Cleveland

living opponents of the vital doctrines
of Democratic belief and practice.

has risen to the proud position of the
fifth greatest state in the Union.

racy of Missouri at their recent State
Conventions, and that we recognize in
our leader, Col. VIM. j. Stone, Dem
crat worthy to bear the banner of the

oaths, ballot-burning and Federal
prescription of American citizens at the
polls.
Resolced, That we condemn the in
famous Force Bill recommended by
President Harrison and his followers,
and approved of by the Republican
party, as subversive of the vital prin-
ciples of human liberty, and that we
denounce the Mckinley Law as being
an Ubiquitous copartnership between the
Federal government and the favored
of the East, to the detri-
ment of the farmers and other laborers
of the West, who constitute the chief
wealth producers of the nation.
