THE PLATFORM.


The representatives OF the Democrat,
party, in convention assembled, max,
the following declaration OF principle.
and measures as their platform in the
present campaign:
Resolved, first-We declare our stead.
fast adhesion to the Fundamental
maxim Of Democracy viz; Govern,
ment by the people and for the people,
honestly and economically administered
for the greatest good OF the greatest
number"
Second-We charge upon the Repub-
lican party and Its reckless legislation
all the evils from which the people are
now suffering. and assert that the low
prices Of farm products, the non-em-
ployment Of labor. the general depres-
sion In business and stagnation OF in
dustry are the results OF the unjust and
burdensome taxes of the high protec-
tive tariff system and other class legis-
lation Of the Republican party. OF which
the demonetization of silver in 1873 and
debasing and contracting our currency
are instances
Third-We believe that all taxation
should be equal and just; that unneces-
sary taxation is unjust taxation. and
that the wealth of the nation should
bear its just proportion Of the burdens
of national government.
Fourth-We favor the calling of a
constitutional convention to submit to
the voters Of the state a constitution
embodying among other things what is
known as the initiative and referendum
and imperative mandate
Fifth--We again declare our faith In
and advocacy OF the imperishable prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party. as re-
affirmed by the Chicago platform.
sixth-That we have an abiding faith
and implicit confidence In the integrity,
good faith and patriotism OF President
Cleveland, and believe that he will ac-
complish. so far as is In his power be-
fore the close Of his term OF Office, all
of the pledges Of the Democratic party
contained in the national platform ar
adopted at Chicago in 1892
seyenth-We indorse the repeal by
congress OF the odious federal election
law. and indorse its efforts in behalf Of
tariff reform and TO bring about more
prosperous condition Of affairs.
Eighth-we favor the speedy con
struction Of the Nicaragua canal by the
government and under government gu-
pervision and control.
Ninth-We reafiirm the position which
has ever been maintained by the Demo-
cratic party that gold and silver are
equally the peoples money: we are op-
posed to all measures Of discrimination
against silver, and demand free coin
age to supply the demands Of business
and that all money issued BY the gov.

Gently with regard to registration this
year. The information has been given
before. but there are still no doubt many

on the last register do not need to regis
ter this year.

Is days before the November election,
which will make the last day when one
can register October 22d.

showing the cancellation of their former

counties they are getting up new regis
trstions, and the old registers have been
cancelled. ALI certificates OF transfer

NEGRO VS.. CHIMAMAM.


Row ia wh,ch ths Celestial Was
Knocked Out.
A colored mau aud q Chinaman got
mixed up in row on Central avenue,
near Jefferson street, yesterday alter
noon. The eolored man, whose name
ia John B. Bsckman, is in jail, aud the
Chinaman, Lee Now, ia in the receiving
hospital.
Blackman is q young man working
for his father in the vicinity where the
row occurred. At l O'Clock yesterday
he went to etore near by to get some
nails, passing Lee Mow'e fruit wagon ON
the way. The Chinaman was absent at
the time, but esp:ed the colored boy
aa he came along going back.
The Mongol approached the son OF
Africa aud straightway accused him OF
stealing fruit from the wagon. The soft
impeachment was emphatically denied
by the colored boy, whersupon the aged
fellow from the fowery realm grappled
with him.
Neither had been rained to fight in
that manner. and they both started for
more effective msans-a stone In the
middle of the street. The colored boy
outran his ewarthy, almond-eyed COM
batant, and getting tho rock first, pro-
ceeded to administer sundry blows in
divers manners upon the queued head
of the Chinamau. The latter dropped
and the colored boy ran swav.
An hour later A. 3. Millard and others
found the Chinaman lying In the street.
apparently in dying condition. They
loaded him into wagon and took him
to the police station. 1t was thought
at first that he was dying, but he recov-
cred sufficiently to talk last night, and
will get well.
Officer Reynolds arrested Blackman,
who will be held to await the reauits Of
the celestiaPs injuries.
