| following platform: The maintenance Of the
| constitution in its integrity; the preservation
of the national credit unimpaired and the ma
tonal honor unsulled; the freedom of the in
dividual to engage in all the pursuits OF life un-
| hampered by the interference OF paternal gov
| ernment and the right of every citizen to re-
| ceive the award OF his labor undiminished by q
| debased standard Of value are fundamental and
| essential principles of the democratic party
| We repudiate the Chicago platform and its
| supplement the populiSt platform adopted al
St Louis both OF which attack and violate al
these democratic principleS
We repudate the nominations of the Chicag,
| convention. Its candidate for president stand:
as such upon the populist platform, with the
demands for unlimited paper money distrib
uted direct to the people and its SocialiStit
and antt-Amertcan demands for the extension
or paternal government as he does upon tn,
platform adopted ut Chicago. He activel,
sought the populist nomination. Having OBJ
tanned 1t, he has never rejected It and he ha
never repudiated the declarations OF the popu
list platform.
The platform condemns the alleged attemp
of the silver democrats to arouse class preju
dices; denounces the plank in the Chicag
platform relating to government by injunction
and increase Of supreme court judges; say
that the 10 to free coinage idea threaten
partial Reputation OF the public debt, an
after condemning nearly every other plank Il
the Chicago platform winds up by praising tn
administration of Grover Cleveland and say
he deserves the thanks OF the people of tn
nation.
