Young Democracy's Plea.
Hon. j. A. Peuick of Lucas county, In
making the nomination of Colonel Martin,
made one of the characteristic speeches OF
the dav and was doubly well received because
Mr. Penick is one of the brightest young
democrats in the state and was put forward
as special representative of the young de-
mocracy.
"ln behalf of the young democracy of
Iowa." SAID he, ''whose answering support
in the last contest, l wish to present the
name OF Colonel L. "A. 2. Martin
OF Polk county In naming him as
the candidate of the young democracy |
reflect not upon those loyal democrats who
nave grown gray in past service. | concede
to no ono greater admiration than for
those veterans of Iowa democracy who
fought the bettles Of the party when their
numbers were few. But they are giving
away before The hands OF time, and many
nave answered their last party call. The
work sonooy begun, so manfully prosecuted
by them still remains and it never will be
finished until the last vestIge OF sumptuary
Iowa. Ma
1T Will never be entirely completed until
the Legislation OF Iowa is based upon equal
aud exact justice 70 every citizen within the
confines OF our great state. The mantlcs of
the old democraticgJard are fast falling upon
younger shoulders,a and to them Is dele
gated the completion of that great work.
Gentlemen of the convention, to the young
men OF Iowa who cast their fortunes with
the democratic party during the black night
of republican rule--to them should ever be
accorded the need of praise. They came to
the party at time when there was no ap-
parent hope for elther power or political pre-
ferment They came seeking only the cheer
of their own conscience IN the performance
OF duty to their state and to their country"
After the districts had been called and
while the gtotal Eets was being called the
committees on resolutions, through its chair
man, John G. Kellyot the Sioux City Trib-
une, made report as follows:
Text of Platform.
We reiterate our devotion to the principles
that all men are born free and equal. We
assert that this does not mean, necessarily,
the physical, social moral equality of ali
men. but it does mean equal rights for all
men before the law and special privilege for
none. 1t means tho right of every man to put
into his own mouth the bread that he earns
with his own hands. and all Of it. without it
being tolied or taxed for the private benefit OF
any of his fellow men. And we denounco all

We declare that tho citizen is best protected

that he Is most certainly robbed when de-
prived OF this disposition and control, and
when others exercise it for him. not for his
benefit but for their own selfish objec sand
ends.
All limitations upon the liberties of the cti-
zen not required in the interest of good morals
and good government are odious and tyrnnni-
imposed by law which compel one citizen, to
his own certain loss, to trade with designated
classes OF citizens for the certain gain OF such
classes IS OF this odious and tyrannical char
acter. And we assert our confidence that "A
