We reaffirm our allegiance to the

We endorse the platform of the
Democratic party adopted in national
convention at Chicago this year, and
pledge our support to the nominees OF
that convention, William J. Bryan and
Arthur SewalL
We commend to the voters of Cache
county the noble and unequivocal
stand taken by the Democratic party
and its standard bearers in this cam
paign, in relation to the free and UNI
limited coinage Of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
We commend the Democratic party
for its open advocancy of the income
tax which relieves the burdens of the
poor by compelling capital to bear its
just proportion of our national eX-
penses.
We condemn the Republican party
as a machine in the hands of trusts
and money powers, not only OF this
country but of Europe.
We condemn the financial policy OF
the Republican party, as a scheme on
the part of English and American
capitalists to control the labor, the
markets and the legislation of this
country for all time to come.
We warn the people of this farming
community against the encroachmentS
of the money power which is making
tenants of our free holders and serfs
Of our laboring men and women.
We favor the strictest economy in
all departments of the nation, state
and county, and the lowest salaries for
all public officers consistent with eff
ficiency.
We call attention to the efficient,
economical manner in which the bust
ness of this county is being carried on
under Democratic administration, and
dence of that fact.
We call attention to repeated reduc-
lions in the salaries Of county officials
during the past four years, and par
ticularly to the recent sweeping reduc-
ton made by our county commission
ers, Notwithstanding the ever increas-
ing volume Of work in the different de-
partmentS.
We call attention to the existence of
certain local organizations in different
parts of the country, pledged to no
principles of government, maintained
solely for the sake of spoils and public
Office, and ask the people to align
themselves with one or the other OF
the great parties of this nation.
We ask the people of Cache county
to bear in mind the fact that the Demo
cratic party is still the party of the
people: that it still champions their
cause, and that those who formerly
denied this fact are now focking to
it's standard lifting UP their voices for
Bryan and Sewall.
We commend the manly and indie
pendent stand of those Republicans.

arisen above party domination and
have asserted their adherence to the
cause of free silver.
