The administration of Grover Cleveland of
the high office OF President for four years was
wise. courageous, honest and conservative. and
his nomination for the third time by the repre-
sentatives OF the national Democratic party.
gives special force to the reforms suggested in
bis official message and his public utterance.
We hail the opportunity for full discussion and
determination by ballot Of the permanent issues
which the national platform and candidates
suggest, to-wit: Radical reform OF
the tariff and maintenance and
perpetuity of the doctrine of local self govern
ment and we pledge our earnest and united
support to those principles.
We renew with pride and pleasure our COM
mendation of Gov. Horace Boies His faithful,
honorable and wise administration of the ONCE
intrusted to his care merits the approval OF
every patriotic citizen within the state We
recognize the effort of the popular branch of
the congress of the United States 10 secure re-
| form Of the tariff, and we condemn the repub-
| llcan Senate for It's failure to consider
measures passed by the popular branch
| particularly when the people them
| selves had declared against the high protective
| policy represented by the Mckinley bill by an
| overwhelming majority 10 the election of 1890.
! The failure OF the republican national admins
tratioG and republican senate to bow TO the
| verdict OF tho people at the polls Is denial of
| the right Of popular sovereignty, such as
| was not contemplated by the founders of
| the republic and such would not be tolerated
| In any other civilization on the globe
We are IN thorough sympathy with the multi
| tude OF honest toiers thrOug out the land, aud
We observe with deep solcitude the conflicts be
tween capital and labor which manifest them
| selves in the ever increasing number and scope
| OF lockouts and strikes These conditions are
| chargeable 20 the policy OF the Republican
party, which has for its object disburse ment OF
| taxes among favored few and the mainte-
nance OF privileged classes at the expense of the
| masses The greed of capitalists in monopolZ.
ing the benefits granted by this policy will never
deal Justly with producing labor, and while we
| insist that violenc3 and disorder must be re-
strained under all circumstances, and that the
ballot-oox is the place for the determination of
| such vital questions, we declare that proper So
luton OF the problem which now confronts the
people can be found only by returning to the
| simple principles enunciated by the founders OF
the republic, the sturdy advocates of the
greatest possible personal, political and com
mercial liberty consistent with good order and
the supremacy of the law.
