like "one dra wing the drapery of his

pleasant dreams" She was the mother of

happiness to human hearts. Her funeral
took place at the Presbyterian Church on
last Tuesday morning, Rev. DR.. Buttolph
and Rev. J. a. Patton officiating. Her
remains we're buried in the Episcopal
cemetery. We extend our sympathy to

efforts OF the present kepcniican coz

gress to enact a similar measure.
AS TO MISUNDERSTANDING the
just claims of deserving union soldiers
we heartily indorse the rule of the pres.
emit commissioner of pensions, that no
name shall be arbitrarily dropped from
the pension roll. and the fact of enlist.
ment and service should be deemed con.
elusive evidence against disease and dis.
ability before enlistment.
/ NEW STATES-We favor the adj
mission of the territories of New Mex.
leo, Oklahoma and Arizona into the
Union as states, and we favor the early
admission of all the territories having
the necessary population and resources
to entitle them to statehood, and while
they remain territories we hold that the
officials appointed to administer the gov
eminent of any territory, together with
the District of Columbia and Alaska,
should be bona fide residents Of the ter.
ritory or district in which their duties
are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes in homo
rule, and that all public lands of the
United States should be appropriated to
the establishment of free homes for
| American citizens.
We recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted a delegate i'll con-
gress, and that the general land and
timber laws of the United States be ex.
tended to said territory.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE = The
Monroe doctrine, as originally declared
and as interpreted by succeeding presi-
dents. is permanent part of the for.
eign policy of the United States and
must at all times be maintained.
SYMPATHY FOR CUBA-We ex.
tend our sympathy to the people OF
Cuba in her heroic struggle for liberty
and independence.
TENURE OF OFFICE-We are op.
posed to life tenure in the public SER
vice. We favor appointments based
upon merit, fixed terms of office and such
an administration of the civil service
laws as will afford equal opportunities
to all citizens of ascertained fitness.
| We declare it to be the unwritten law
Of this republic, established by custom
and usage of 100 years and sanctioned
by the examples of the greatest and
wisest of those who founded and have
maintained our government, that no
man should be eligible for third term
for the presidential office.
IMPROVE WATERWAYS - The
federal government should care for and
improve the Mississippi river and other
great waterways of the republic so as to
secure for the interior states cheap and
easy transportation to tidewater. When
any waterway of the republic is of suffi.
Gent Importance to need aid from the
government, such aid should be ex-
tended upon a definite plan of continu.
Gus work until permanent Improvement
is secured.
SUBMITTED-Con in the JUS
tice of our cause and the necessity of its
success at the polls, we submit the fore
going declaration of principles and pur-
poses to the considerate Judgment of the
American people. We invite the sup
port of all citizens who approve them
and who desire to have them made eff
fective through legislation for the relief
of the people and the restoration of the
country's prosperity.
