the prompt repeal Of the odious Federal
election laws and we stand pledged
ma ready 10 aid an faithful exertigns
Of the administration IN the execution
OF the demands Of our party platform
A. We hold 10 the uac OF both Eold
and silver as the standard money u the
country and to the coinage az both
metals without discrimination against
either or charge for mlniage, but the
dollnhr unit OF coinage " both metals
shall he adjusted by such safeguards
Of LEGISLATION as shall insure the MAIN
tcnnnce OF a. o parity Of The two metals,
and the equal power Of every dollar ~
all times in the markets and In the
payment OF debts and we believe that
this parity and purchasing power VIII
DO maintained by the free and unllml-
ted coinaHe of both metals at The ratio
Of l6 TO l. We therefore favor the
immediate restoration OF silver
coinage ms II exlated prior 10 1873 aud
" upon n fair trial II shall be deter
mined that this ratio Will not keep
tho two metals In circulation on a PARE
ity with each other then the ratio to
be rcadjusted 10 the end that the
money OF the people shall be such IN
quantity ana quality as was originally
contemplated by the constitution, and
we further demand that all paper cur
roncy shall be kept at par with and
radeemRble Ia such coin.
Q. We reannounce that the Federal
government IL one Of limited and dele
gated powers and that such rs are not
conferred upon Il by the constitution
! are reserved TO the states respectively
or 10 the people, and W. insist that the
strict Observance Of this principle is
/ essential to tho perpGtulty OF local
/ self government,
g, We favor the equhl and impartial
| enforcement OF the laws Of tho land,
| state and Federal, against an guilty
| violation thereof ana we lndorsc the
/ vigorous measures recently taken by
| President Cleveland to execute the laws
| OF the United states fnr the prosorva-
| tlon Of public property transmission OF
! the mails and regulation OF Interstate
| commerce, hut at the same dime we
regret the necessity Tor such intcrfer-
/ cnce by the president and believe that
the power thus exercised should only
he used as IN this instance. IN the last
cNtremlty ana after the state has
failed and refused to preserve order.
T. We assert and contend that life
term OF Office invites arbitrary despouc
power, ana therefore favor such amcnd-
Wepts 10 the Federal constitution as
Will limit the terrn8 Of Federal officers
10 % reasonable term OF years.
8. We favor Federal appropriations
