The platform adopted is as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
Wehereby approve the platform of the
Democratic party adopted bv the national
convention at Chicago. and especially those
portions OF 1t referring To the tariff and to
currency legislation We congratulate the
country upon the early prospect Of meas.
ures OF relief as outlined nv the Presidents
late .essage TO Congress aud we have conf
dence that the Democratic Congress will
devise laws To furnish such relief
Second-The financial situation IL the
unfortunate legacy OF Republican admins.
tra'ion: IL IL the natural result OF the
Mckinley tariff. the Sherman silver law,
the extravaganza of the party lately in
power and the creations and fostering Of
trusts and com binations by that party, all
combining 10 shake credit TO create disirust
its business
Third-We mmcnd that national
banks may he permitted 10 issue their cur
rency 70 AN amount equal TO the par value
OF the United States bonds they may deposit
With the treasurer of The United States. 10
the end that the volume OF eu,1 ncy may be
imme,itately increased.
Fourth--1he interests Of every true soldier
and pensioner demand that the pension roll
should be made and preserved as roll Of
honor. We believe in Just aud liberal recog-
milton OF the claim, of veterans. and favor
granting them all that patriotism could ask,
all that gratitude could demand. But the
granting of pensions on fraudulent claims
for partisan pnr oies, or on department de
Cisions in contrayention Of Jaw, as practced
uuder the last administration, needs TO be
Investigated and CORE cted So that the unset
fish valor Of the American solder may re-
main untarnished The Democratic party
pledges itself that the rghtiul claim of no
Union soldier To pension shall be denied,
aud the allowance OF any worry pensioner
shall not be disturbed.
Fifth-We condemn the unbusnesslike
administration Of State affairs under Gov.
ernor Mckin' 'ey .derlure the official scandals
and deialCatiOus under IL and denounce the
condoning Of official crimes which have
brought Illumination upon our people. We
denounce the reckless extravassnce Of the
large majority in the Seventeth General
Assembly, which appropriate for current
expenses about 80 1000 IN excess Of the cur
rent revenues and added almost $50 90, 900
To the local bonded Indebtedness OF the
state bv laws IN the main unconstitutional
We demand that an end be put TO such rob-
berry OF the taxpayers.
SiJih-The Democratic party expresses its
cor .dence in the ability OF Hon. Calvin S.
Br:ce, of the United States Senate, to mate
rially assist the Democratic majority in the
Congress OF The United States to extricate
the great commercial interests OF the coun-
try from their depressei condition.
After indorsing the national adminstra-
tion the platform closes without referring
To silver. The report was unanimously
reported
