THE PLATFORM
The platform, after congratulations TO
the party and the people of the state on
the way state matters have been managed
since the democrats came in power, refers
TO national affairs and President Cleve-
land as follows:
As to federal issues and policy, we reaffrm
the principles of the state and national demo-
cratic platform so emphatically indorsed by
the vote of the people last November.
The transfer Of the legislative and executive
branches Of the federal government to tho
Democratic party was none too soon to cor
rect, even II too late TO avoid, the widespread
distress caused by unsound and plutoeratio
republic an legislation. To the repeal OF un-
wise ana unjust laws OF republican origin, the
Democratic party Is pledged, and may safely
be trusted TO reconstruct our currency and
tax laws, in accordance with popular needs
and sound political principles thereby
restoring confidence among the people and
re-establishing the conditions OF commercial
and Industrial prosperity.
Recent events have emphasized and con-
hrmed the utterances OF the democratic plat
forms OF 1891 and 1892 and the democratic
national platform Of last year in denunciation
OF the Shermrn law providing for the COM
pulsory purchase and storage OF silver bull
Ion, and In reiterating that condemnation we
again demand speedy and unconditional re-
peal OF the law as obnoxious and injurious.
We express our warm appreciation OF the
patriotism OF the soldiers and sailors OF
the union in the war for its preservation,
and we favor just and liberal provisions
Tor az disabled union soldiers their widows
and dependents.
We congratulate President Cleveland
and the country upon the auspiclous
beginning of his administration, and pledge
him our earnest support In all his efforts to
secure the enactment of democratic measures
and the carrying out Of democratic policies,
We especially approve his patriotic action
In conYening congress IN extra session for
the purpose OF ridding the country OF the
reckless financial Legislation passed by the
republican congress in 1890 against the unan-
imous vote Of the democratic members.
One clause on state issues recommends
that the constitutional convention, to be
held next year, shall provide for an extern
sion of the elective franchise to women.
THE ATTENDANCE.
Hb dbbb at INC SBCOuu gay
session of the convention was even greater
than yesterday. 1t might have been APP
propriately called "ladies' day., so large
was the number of women who graced the
convention hall with their presence. They
seemed to have been encouraged by the
bravery of their sisters in facing the array
of good democrats on Thursday, so turned
in force, in silks, satins and diamonds
galore. The proceedings started of with
a snap and vim that made even the driest
details of parliamentary routine seem,
for once, interesting This feeling did
not grow less as the business of the con-
vention progressed.
A perfect cyclone of cheers struck the
delegates when Mr.. Bailey read the plank
indorsing President Clevelands adminis-
tration and his efforts to carry out demo-
cratic policies. The delegates fairly
howled with delight at the resolutions re-
ferring to the fact that a democratic ma
jority in the United States Senate was
made sure by the election of David B.
Hill and Edward Murphy, Jr., as SEN
ators. The Endorsement of Gov. Flower
was also yociferously applauded.
After the nomination of Judge Maynard
the convention, at 2;30 p. m, adjourned
sine die.
