| Fourth-Support by the state of th
public schools.
Fifth-The supremacy of the ciYi
oyer the military power.
Sixth-Exact equality of all person
before the law.
Seventh-The right to a free fallo
the right preserYatiYe of all othe
rights.
Eighth-That our democratic part
is the friend of the Iaboring man il
every aVocation of life, and will pro
tect his interest alike against the ag
gressIons of monopoly as well as the
commune.
We believe the restoration of the
money OF the constitution is now the
paramount issue before the country
and insist that both parties shall
plainly state their respective posi- ions
upon the question In order that the
voters may intelligently express theiI
preference. We therefore declare our
selves in favor of the immediate res
torati0n of the free and unlimited
coinage Of gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio OF Is to l, as such coin
age existed prior to 1873, without wait
ing for the aid or consent OF any other
nation. Gold and silver coin to be a
full and legal tender for all debts pub.
lie and private.
We denounce the republican party
for the decentralization of silver in 1873
and for its repeated acts of hostility to-
ward Its RECOMMENDATION.
We call attention to the fact that the
country was in the thrOes of a financial
panic when the democratic admins
tratiOn assumed control in 1898. and we
congratulate the people upon the ap-
preaching reign of prosperity as re-
suit of q democratic reform of the tar
if; and also to the fact that factories,
boundaries and mills have resumed
work since the repeal of the Mckinley
law, and TO the constantly advancing
wages of Workingmen in almost every
industry.
We again express our hearty appre-
citation of the democratic congress- and
in providing an enabling act
by virtue of which Utah is about to as
sumo its position as sovereign state.
We commend the action of the dem
Ocratic members Of the constitutional
in surrounding the taxing
and revenue-rsisiDg power of the state
by such restrictions ana limitations as
to preclude any squandering OF public
III aid OF private enterprises,
and to confine the expenses of carrying
On the public business within proper
limits of economy, despite the almost |
unanimous opposition of 81 republican |
majority. And we favor the adoption |
IF the proposed constitution.
We congratulate the women of Utah |
Upon their admission to equal political
tights with men under the provisions |
If the constitution proposed, and the
democratic party for the earnest and
.ble support of that measure by its
in the constitutional
We denounce as false the charge
hat the democratic party of Utah has
,een guilty OF stuffing ballot boxes or
timer election frauds, and condemn
he republican party for its IN
and libelous attack upon
he majority Of the Utah commission,
md deplore the lack of principle
hown by its attempt without any
and for partisan purposes to
the character OF honorable
itizens,
Utah County, Adopted at PaysOn

With heartfelt gratitude We appre-
late the munihcent donation of public

ity OF passing such laws and adopting
uch measures as will secure to the
tate the most valuable public lands
7ithin the state to the extent of all
rants made to it, and its public insti-
utions.
We demand the passage OF such laws
6 will provide for the sale of state
ands to actual settlers only, in small
for the selection of suitable
ties for reservoirs; for the preserYa
ion from destruction or waste of the
imber on the public lands; for the
of arid lands, and for the
evelOpment of all the natural pro-
u1ts OF state lands.
We favor retention by the state Of
II its lands not susceptible of imme-
late improvement, and the leasing by
he state OF improbable lands, when
yer such leasing viii tend to their
more rapid and efficient improvement
nd development.
We favor a revision of the laws OF
md irreyoeably fix all existing rights

ons entitled to its use.

S economically as is possible, con-
istent with securing efficient service,
nd as may absolutely be necessary for
be accomplishment of such purposes.
