COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democratic party Of Utal
county in convention assem- bled
hereby proclaims the following princi
pies:
We reaffiIm our allegiance to tn,
party principles as Set forth in the
national platform adopted at Chicago
in June, 1892, and we are in hearty &C
cord with the territorial platform
adopted at Salt Lake city on Septem-
Der Is, 1894.
We rejoice with the whole people of
the territory that Utah is about to en-
ter the union as a free and sovereign
state. Local self-government is dem
OcTatic principle vouchsafed TO us.
Our party has again demonstrated that
the people may be trusted.
We extend TO the democratic con-
gress and president our heartfelt graf
itude for tue many expressions of good
will to the people of Utah; in the pas
sage of the liberal enabling act; in re
Storing to the Mormon church It's contis-
Gated property; In opening the Indian
reservations for settlement; III the
wise appointment of bona fde citizens
of Utah to local offic IS; in the extensive
grants Of land for various public pur-
poses; in the reimbursement of
hundreds of our citizens by the provis-
ions of the enabling, act and by the
more recent amnesty proclamation of
President Cleveland, all of which acts
of friendship are in striking contrast
to the treatment accorded Utah by the
republican party.
Proudly we point to the record of our
delegate in congress, hon. j. l.. Raw
Inns, whose untiIng zeal, great ability,
tact and diplomacy nave secured to US
so manv acts beneficial to Utah. His
interchangeable 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
people of this country. DISTRACTED as
they were at every move by determined
opposition, they nevertheless succeeded
in wrestling from wealth and pluUocrecy
portion of the means OF increasing
their ill-gOttt n gains, and in rendering
McKinleylsm lost cause. We es-
pecially endorse the income tax pro-
vision of the tariff law, whereby those
most able Will be required to bear
more just portion OF the burdens of
taxation.
In the repeating of the federal elec-
ton law, and thus securing freedom of
citizens at the polls.
In revising the pension lists and
pension laws so as to prevent spolia
tiOn of the public treasury by the I'm
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 |
party of broken and post norton prom |
Uses, whose policy prompted by avarice
and individual ACKNOWLEDGMENT, has |
precipitated the recent panic and |
brought this country to the verge of
ruin.
We arraign the recent republican
legislature OF Utah for Its intense
partisanshlp and inefficiency, for its
attempt to divert the public moneys
from their legitimate use to the pay
ment of bounties to select private en-
terpuses. Had it not been for the wise
action or the governor, more than $780,
600 would have been taken from the
public school fund. For its refusal to
appropriate sufficient funds Tor the In
sane Asylum, the Agricultural College
~ the University of Utah, by which
parsimOny those institutions ran only
be c. rried 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.

and honesty which has marked every
department of our present county gov
eminent. 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
that our new constitution shall provide
for woman suffrage on an equality
with men,
We call upon the people to see to it
that the state of Utah shall be founded
upon the broad principles of the demo
cratic parry, which are the principles
of Juice and free government. Care
must be exercised that monopolies shall
not get control of the public lands
granted to the staUe of Utah, and that t
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 paTtake freely of the blessings OF
public instruction.
We are in favor of the free and IN |

principles herein enumerated.
