NORTH YAKIMA. Sept H.-Following
the platform as reported to the Democratic
convention this morning:
1.-THE Democratic party of the state of
Washington, in convention assembled.
makes this declaration of principles and
pledges its candidates thereto:
"First-ResoIred. That the Democratic
party reaffirms its answering allegiance
and devotion to the principles declared
and adopted by the Democratic party in
national convention assembled in Chi
cago In 1892 We heartily approve and
indorse the administration OF Grover
Cleveland, and declare again our conf
dence IN his judgment and patriotism, and
we congratulate the Democratic party and
the people of the United States on the fact
that, notwithstanding the opposition
Of the Republican party. the pro-
tected trusts and other combinations,
q substantial measure Of tariff reform has
been accomplished, and we point with
pride TO the fact that President Cleveland
has demonstrated his ability TO safely
guide the republic through the difficulties
created by and inherited from the Repub-
Hcan party; therefore
"Resolred. That We earnestly and cor
daily indorse the efforts of the present
Democratic administration TO reform the
tenn, as embraced In the late Mckinley
bill, ard We heartily commend the bill
recently passed by congress as an
intelligent and patriotic step in the direc-
ton of an enlightened international
policy. and which Is approved by the
highest craftsmanship OF the world
policy which shall throw open the sea-
ports of the United States, and particu-
larly the seaports of our o IN state. TO those
raw staple products, such as wool, aax,
hemp, iute and other such staples, which
experience has proven must ever be the
basis of sound manufacturing system;
that by importation into our own ports OF
these staples We shall, at one and the same
time encourage the building up of state
and local manufacturing system which
shall tree our people from the
exactions of manufacturing trusts
3Oo0 miles distant, and at the
same time, by encouraging the importa-
ton of such staples, stimulate a system of
international exchange and thus directly
foster and encourage the export of our
manufactured products, those products in
which we excel the nations Of the earth.
ave cordially indorse the earnest and
patriotic efforts OF the last Democratic
congress to relieve the American people
from the corrupt and demoraliz-
ing influences of gigantic trusts,
which are conceded TO be the
necessary outgrowth of thirty years of
class privileges gwen to organized capital
by the Republican party. and we derounce
the disloyalty OF those so-caIied Demo-
cratic senators who have made their re-
form pledges lesi full than the policy OF
the Democratic party demanded.
I'VE also most heartily approve OF the
policy of tho Democratic party, which
seeks by a reasonable income tax TO COM
PEI the gigantic fortunes accumulated by
the bene6ciaries OF Republican class legis-
lation 70 contribute and pay their
fair share OF the tax burdens OF
the government, and thus in some meas
ure tighten the impositions which the tax
policy OF the Republican party for thirty
years have loaded upon the daily con-
sumption Of the people.
I'VE call the attention Of the voters nf
this state TO the hvpocritlcal and vaciiIat-
ing action OF the Republican state conven.
ton, wherein IL first declares against the
use Of silver as money. and then at the
dictatlon OF its Office seeker. and
gave silver an equsvocal indorse-
Iaent. and we point TO this
conspicuous example of Republican dunii
city; aud We demand the iuli and unljrn
tied coinage of both silver aud gold In the
ratio OF 10 to /, and demand tue passage
OF such laws as will make silver rece yable
for All debts, public and private, and equal
In purchasing power with gold.

always been the friend of the totl{ny

laoortns classes: the protectors of the
rights 81 property and capital, and jealous
