bUNrY DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

Spted at the Convention Held in Prov
MONDAY, October I, 1894.
&e democratic party Of Utal
lnty in convention assembled
sreby proclaims the following princi-
les:
We reafiIm our allegiance to thu
rty principles as set forth in the
ional platform adopted at Chicago
June. 1892, and we are in hearty &C
d with the territorial platform
,pted at Salt Lake city on Septem-
Is, 1894.
We rejoice with the whole people oil
territory that U 5ah is about to en-
ger the union as free and soverigr
state. Local self-government is dem
Dcratic principle vouchsafed 10 us
Dur party has again demonstrated thai
the people NAV be trusted.
We extend to the democratic con
gress and president our heartfelt graf
tude for the many expressions OF gooc
will to the people of Utah; in the pas
sage of the liberal enabling act; in re
storing to the Mormon church Its contis
Gated property; In opening the Indian
reservations for settlement III the
Wise appointment of bona fide citizens
of Utah to local offic rs; in the extensive
grants Of land for various public pur-
Ooses; in the enfranchlsement o.
hundreds of our citizens by the provis
ons of the enabling, act and by the
more recent amnesty proclamation Of
President Cleveland, all of which acts
f friendship are in striking contrast
20 the treatment accorded Utah by the
Republican party.
Proudly we point to the record of ouI
delegate in congress, Hon. j. l.. Raw
Inns, whose untiIing zeal, great ability,
tact and diplomacy have secured to us
SO manv acts beneficial to Utah. Hi
indefatigable labor and unparalleled
success will surely be approved and re-
warded by his return to congress with
vastly increased majority.
We further commend the action OF
the democratic congress and adminiStra-
tion for the measure of tariff reform
effected, whereby hundreds Of millions
of dollars will be saved annually to
J people of this country. Obstructed as
! they were at every move by determined
opposition, they nevertheless succeeded
in wrestinc from wealth and plutocracy
as<h portion of the means OF increasing
heir ill-gotttn gains, and in rendering
dcKinleyism a lost cause, We es.
eciaIly endorse the income tax pro-
VIsicn of the tariff law, whereby those
most able will be required to bear a
4 more just portion of the burdens OF
taxation.
In the repeating OF the federal cleo.
Il ton law, and thus securing freedom OF
citizens at the polls.
In revising the pension lists and
~ pension laws so as to prevent spolla
tion of the public treasury by the un.
deserving, while dealing literally and
justly with those who deserve the aid
OF government.
1t behooves the people of this county
and this territory, TO keep the re.
publican party out of power, 1t is a
party of broken and post norton prom
ises. whose policy prompted by avarice
and individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, has
nnacinita+ed the recent panic and
bught this country to the verge OF
B1in.
We arraign the recent republican
legislature of Utah for It's intense
craftsmanship and ineficiency, for its
A& attempt to divert the public moneys
from their legitimate use to the pay
hent of bounties to select private en-
srprIses. Had it not been for the wise
SION Oh the governor, more than $780,
10 would have been taken from the
Sic school fund. For its refusal to
propriate sufficient funds for the In
ne Asylum, the Agricultural College
the University of Utah, by which
eimony those institutions can only
FDe carried on as required by law, by
loans which must be met by the peo-
pie in the future. For passing unwise
# laws and refusing to pass others which
would be for the common good.
We call attention to the efficiency
and honesty which has marked every
department of our present county gov
ernment. Wise economy should rule
in every branch of public service. We
believe that competency and fidelity
are the only qualification for Office.
We are in favor of home industries.
We are in favor of the full enfran-
chisement of women, and pledge our
selves to use our every effort to the end
our new constitution shall provide
woman suffrage on an equality
men,
call upon the people to see to it
the state of Utah shall be founded
the broad principles OF the demo
party, which are the principles
zee and free government. Care
- B4Se exercised that monopolies shall
not get control of the public lands
granted to the state of Utah, and that
q as far as possible these lands be granted
only to the actual settler.
We declare ourselves in favor of the
free public school system where the
children of the rich and the poor alike
may pertake freely OF the blessings OF
public instruction.
We are in favor of the free and IN
limited coinage of silver at ratio of Ii
to l with gold.
Relying upon the fidelity, intelligence
and patriotism of the people Of Utah
county we confidently expect by their
votes q complete vindication of the
principles herein enumerated.
