The platform OF the Democratic Party
Reform ORGANIZATION, the name adopted |
by the Reiurmers, is as follows:
The delegates duly elected TO the Demo-
cratic state Convention OF 1894 by the
Democratic party In Kings county having
been dishonesty and unfairly excluded
therefrom by the vote OF packed and
Hpf tod foo md xrsfa ar
gag law In the convention, having asso-
cated with themselves representatives,
from other parts OF the State. adopt and
publish this declaration:
We stand on the plain principles of
american freedom and our historic De-
mOcraCy-that each American citizen has |
free right 20 live his life, "a 20 his work, |
to hold his beliefs 90 buy ana sell, ana
70 pursue happiness. and unhinaereG by
Goyernment so long as he respects the
rights of his fellow-citiZens-
New ork Is, and will remain. a Demo \
cratic state, except when betrayed " |
INSCRIPTIONS leaderS.gfp fray methods,
corrupt practices 3hd ring rule, which
are no less DE L-hocrntic than imml Fal !
The Republican party has degenerated
into the tool Of tkusts-an enemy Of tho
people-using taXeS 90 rob the many DOR
the few, preaching protection which
has produced cruel industrial depression
and now eliminates in the religious in
tolerance of the un- American Protective
Association, which is utterly abhorrent
10 genuine Democracy.
Fit men, and they should be chosen
for public Office and unworthy candidates !
nominated by unworthy means, should
be defeated at the polls. The public ser
vice should be manned throughout by
honest men, selected for merit, fairly
paid, giving the Government dollars
worth Of work for dollars worth of
pay, and In places not political secure in
tenure during good service. We demand
an efficient enforcement Of the civil ser
vice laws and an extension Of the classi-
fed service In State and nation.
The Constitutional Convention has
sought 10 petrify in the constitution Of
The State a gePTymander appOTtonment
contrary TO the principles of representa-
live and Democratic policies.
BLAME DAVID B. HILL.
We blame this danger to David r. Hill
whose political shOrtsiC Chtedness in forcing |
the nomination of Maynard, threw the !
convention as well as the legislature into |
the hands OF our political opponents, and |
we ask fair-minded Republicans with
whom we voted against Maynard to vote |
with us against this unjust and partisan
aPpOrtionmeut.
We denOunce the so-caled Democratic
senator again candidate for Governor |
who Is a Democrat only when Democracy !
means himself; who, in the Senate of the |
United States, LAS opposed the Demo
cratic President, excluded himself from
the councils Of the Democratic party, and
demeaned the Democratic state OF New
York, whose political career has been ,
huijt upon corruption who has prosti-
tuted an able intellect TO evil ends, who
planned and directed the political crime
rebuked In 1898 by a majority OF one nun
dred thousand, who is the arch enemy OF
good government and real reform.
We owe no loyalty 10 d convention !
which denied representation 10 Demo
Gratis because they had, at thelr homes, /
done their plain duty as Democrats ana
honest men, and which held that regu- ,
larity In Democratic politics in our great
cities meant acquiesccnce, II not particl-
patton, in public crime.
We present a worthy and loyal Demo
rrat as candidate for the office of Gov !
ernor, as well az worthy and loyal Demo
Gratis for the other two State offices TO ,
be filled this fall We do this in the :
hope that our course will hold 10 the
democracy many votes which would ,
otherwise be lost, and still more, that !
our great party may not, for all future
time, cease 10 be noble instrument ! .
Of political and patriotic service. We :
face me future looking forward 10 p"
united and triumphant Democracy, which :
having rejected alliance with corruption (,
and crime. will stand forth the worthy !
champion OF American freedom. We IN
Gite Democratic citizens throughout the
state 10 unite with us In these nomlna- q
ions by certificate pursuant TO law" .
