 ars Hardy WAS chosen chairman of k.e executive committee.
 S platform committee was then to report. The report was unani- N adopted and is as follows: Es, the National Democrats of Tex stefe convention assembled, here Affirm our allegiance to the princi- N the Democratic party as they been determined by the party in bal conventions prior to the na- convention of 1896, and deny the |oi the latter convention to fasten the party new political tenets h constitute innovations upon the of Democracy and which will, if 6sful, oyerwhelm the country in asal embarrassment.
 Having heretofore formally repudi- the methods and actions of the blently constituted socalled Demo executive committee headed by B G. Dudley, and since that time |called Democratic party of Texas |g approved such methods and in- D said action of the committee we |sreby repudiate it's each and every Chicago and subsequently, at their ent conventions.
 Parties are made for men and not flor parties, and the allegiance parties owe their political affilia- is not to 8 mere name, but to the Iples It is manifest accordingly Fhen an apparent majority use of pporary aseendancy to repudiate lsic principles on which the party Pnd violate the traditions to which (rty has owed it's greatness and it's |lt becomes the patriotic duty of member of the party to return to pient principles and resume it's ca for continued usefulness. Ne believe that in order to main |he integrity of the Democratic |and to preserve its principles pure contaminated it is the duty of all cfats to repudiate the platform and 'ees Of the late Chicago conven- pa cast their votes for electors se- as Austin to voice the principles 'nalntain the policy of the true |cratic party.
 Wea in favor of honest elections. 70 tms end we demand that all |s have far representations among 'uge and clerks of election.
 aO'olng 1t to be as impossible for \ measure value by more than one afa as 1t is to so measure any other ", and being firmly convinced 'nange in the standard for the pte ol value at this time would re-
 nhancial panic to which the \ o' the world furnishes no paral- !. , Osuevlng that every government l 70 i's honor and to its citizens
 'lau 80 order it's laws as to re- s4 ueots to be paid in money as e' possible equal in value to any I ln circulation at the time of the |on Of the debt.
 \ sssiare a that it is the duty of the 'sa'es to maintain the present |'andard of the measure of value,
