The Democratic party oi the .-t.te Of
in convention assembled,
makes this declaration u principles and
pledges its candidates Thereto:
RESOLVED, That the pcmocra.ic patty
OF Washington iearIiim> its answering
allegiance and devotion to the principles
declared and adopted By the Democratic
party in national convention assembled
in Chicago in 1882.
We heartily approve OF and indorse the
administration OF Grover Cleveland, and
declare again our confidence in his judg-
ment and patriotism, and We congratu-
late the Democratic party and the people
of the United States on the fact that not
withstanding the opposition OF the Re-
publican party, the protected trusts and
other combinations, a substantial meas'
ure of tariff reform has been accomplish
ell, and we point with pride 10 the fact
that President Cleveland has demonstrate
ell his ability to safely guide the republic
through the difficulties created by and in
heritcd from the Republican party.
RESOLVED, That we earnestly and cor
daily indorse the efforts OF the present
Democratic administration to reform the
enornties cf the Republican tariff sys-
TEN as embodied in the late Mckinley
bill, and we heartily commend the bill
recently passed by Congress as an inteIi-
gent and patriotic steps in the direction
OF an enlightened international policy
which is approved by the highest states
manshp OF The word-a policy which
shall throw open the seapoits OF the
United States, and particularly the sea-
ports OF our own State to the raw staple
products, such as wool, flax hemp, jute
and other staples which experience has
proved must ever be the basis OF Il sound
manufacturing system. That by the inn
portation into our own ports OF these sta
pies we shall at one and the same time
encourage the building up OF Il local and
State manufacturing system, which shall
free our people from the eXactions OF man
ufacturing trusts 5000 miles distant, and
by encouraging the importation OF such
staples, stimulate system OF information
al exchange and thus directly foster and
encourage the export OF our manufactured
products, those products in which we eX-
eel the nations Of the earth.
We cordially indorse the earnest and
patriotic Efforts OF the last Democratic
Congress to relieve the American people
from corrupt and demoralizing influences
OF gigantic combinations Of trusts which
are conceded TO be the necessary out
growth Il thirty years OF class privileges
given to organized capital by the Repub-
lean party. and we denounce the disloy-
atty OF these 50 called Democratic Scna-
tors who have observed their reform
pledges less fully than the policy OF the
Democratic party intended, and we also
most heartily approve Of the policy OF the
Democratic party which seeks by rea.
sonable income tax to compel the gigan-
Tie fortunes accumulated by the benef-
Charles OF Republican class legislation to
contribute and pay their fair share OF the
tax burdens Of the government, and thus,
n some measure, tighten the impositions
which the tax policy Of the Republican
party for thirty years has loaded upon
the daily consumption OF the people.
We call attention Of the voters OF this
State TO the hypocrtical and vacillating
action, wherein it first declared against
the use OF silver as money, and then, at
the dictation Of its office seekers and
nominees for Congress, reluctantly gave
silver an equvocal Endorsement. We
point to this as a conspicuous example Of
Republican duplicity, and we demand
the free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold in the ratio OF lG to and
demand the passage OF such laws as will
make silver receivable for all debts. pub.
lie and private and equal in purchasing
power with gold.
The Democrats OF Washington favor the
establishment OF a State Board of Arbi.
tration by which there may be secured
peaceful settlement Of all disputes be-
tween employees and employers.
We are in favor Ct the passage by the
Legislature OF a law providing that, upon
the entry OF a judgment of foreclosure of
mortgage on real estate, no execution
or order OF sale shall be issued until one
year subsequent to the entry OF such
Judgment, and that the sale shall then
be made with no period for redemption.
We point with pride to the settlement
OF the vexed lieu land question in favor
OF the settlers, against the Northern Pa
ciIic Railroad, by a Democratic Secretary
OF the Interior, through the efforts OF the
Democrats Of the state OF Washington.
We favor the assessment Of real estate
once in two wears for purposes OF taxation
We demand the repeal of the odious
delinquent tax law and the enactment in
its place OF a law providing Tor a longer
pcriol OF redemption and a less rate OF
interest and penalty than the present
law.
We dcnounce the Republican admins
tration OF the state as extravagant, in
and iactiona, and we espec
tally denounce the last legislature for its
reckless eXtrayagance and condemn it for
