The report of the committee on
resolutions was unanimously adopted
and is as follows, to-wit:
The Democratic party of Sumner
county in convention assembled,
makes the following declarations Of
its views and conviction:
Resolved; First, that we endorse
the platforms adopted by the Demo.
Ocratic national convention at Chica.
60, and the state convention at
Topeka'.a as clear, full, strong and
explicit of patriotic principles; and
that we heartily hail the nominations
Grover Cleveland and Adlai Z. Stev.
enson, as those which represent the
highest type of craftsmanship, and
afford the safest guarantee Of the en-.
fOrcement of Democratic doctrine,
and Of a faithful, honest and econom
ical administration of the genera
government. We approve the action
OF the Democratic congressional
convention held at Dodge City in re-
framing from making a straight
Democratic nomination; and
ResOlred; Second, that the ques
tion of taxation is that which dis.
tinguishes the Democratic party
from the Republican party, in this
campaign. Our views as Democrats
were well expressed by A. W.
Smith, now the candidate of the Re.
publican party for governor of the
state, in the following resolutions
reported by him to the Mcpherson
county Alliance in January 1890
namely:
Believing in the doctrine of equal
rights to all; special privileges to
none; we demand that taxation,
national or state, shall not be used,
to build up one interest or class al
the expense of another. We believs
that the money Of the country should
be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people and hence we
demand that all revenues national,
state or county, shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the gov.
eminent, economically and honestly
administered
These views clearly expressed and
well understood by the writer are
the historical and permanent princi
pies Of the Democratic party.
Their endorsements and accept
ance makes us Democrats, and they
are the views held in common with
us by the Peoples Party. Their re
jections, mark the Republican
And we cite these views Of Mr.
Smith to show that while a Demo
crat in principle he is Republican
only for what there ''is in it.
We place in comparison with his
principles and practice the record o
the Hon. Jerry Simpson who wa!
nominated for congress in 1890 upOr
a profession Of the same doctrine
During his first session in congress
he has continued to uphold thes,
views, and to vote for them upon tn,
Democratic measures for free wool
free binding twine, and free cotton
ties.
We Judge of the future by the
past, and feeling from what he has
done that we can rely upon him, i
reelected, to continue to suppor-
