We, your Committee on Resolu
ton, respectfully submit the fol-
lowing for adoption:
| THE PLATFORM.
The Democracy of Idaho County
in Convention assembled endorses
the principles enunoiated in the
National Democratic Platform of
1892, and in the State Democratic
Platform of 1894.
We favor an honest and ecOnOm-
ical administration of county af-
fairs.
We pledge our nominees for
County Commissioners to rigid
scrutiny of all bills against the
County to the end that all over
charges may be rejected.
We further demand and thereto
pledge our nominees, that all pub
lie officials intrusted with public
funds shall keep them under their
special charge, and shall disburse
the same to liqudate the indebted
ness of the County, as required by
law, as fast as such funds shall ac-
cumulate.
We congratulate the citizens of
Idaho County upon the fact that
the last Democratic delegation
from Idaho and Nez Perce counties
to the State Legislature more than
fulfilled Democratic pledges in Sc
curing appropriations of $4,000
from the State Treasury for the
construction of necessary wagon
roads in Idaho County; and we
pledge our present legislative
nominees to use every possible
effort to secure further apppropria-
tions from the State treasury for the
completion Of said wagon roads;
and we invite comparison Of the
records of the Democratic and Re-
publican legislators from this
county on this point for several
terms past.
We congratulate the people
upon the speedy opening of the
Nez Perce Indian reservation to
white settlement under the aus
pices of the National Democratic
administration.
We favor an amendment to the
State Constitution abolishing the
Office of District Attorney and
providing for a prosecuting Attor-
ney for each county.
