The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-15
PRINCIPLES REAFFIRMED.
Action of the Indianapolis Gather
ing APPROVED by Kentucky.

The National Democracy of Kentucky, in
convention assembled, cordially approve the
action taken last year resulting in the In
dianapolis convention, the nomination of Pal
mer and Buckner and the complete reorganiza-
ton and perpetuation of the Democratic party
not only for that campaign, but for all time,
and with equal cordfality indorse the plat
form of principles announced by the Louis
Vile convention of 1896 and the platform
adopted at Indianapolis, and reaffirm our
hearty allegiance to the principles and poll
in accordance with the Democratic platforms
adopted by the various preceding national
conventions, which platform We hereby re-
adopt and by which we stand.
We reaffirm, as the pledge of the Democratic
party, that when entrusted with federal pow
er it will enact such tax laws as will pro-
duce sufficient revenue and framed for reve-
nue. only; maintain the public peace and
protect the rights, liberties and property of
the citizens by such means as may be nee
essary at home and abroad.
We denounce the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver as inevitable producing silver
monometallism, and we advocate a gold
standard and the coinage of silver to the re-
quirements of commerce as offering the only
means of maintaining bimetallism.
The Democrats of Kentucky renew their
allegiance to the principles of true Democracy
as eXemplified by the administration of Grover
Cleveland and as illustrated by his eminent
secretary of the treasury, John G.. Carlisle
and pledge themselves to renewed and I'M
ceasing efforts to- embody and substantiate
them in the national policy.
The Democrats of Kentucky who have re-
newed their allegiance to the credit of the
nation as proclaimed by the indianapolis plat
form take this occasion to declare their de-
votion to the public order in the nation and
in the state. They denounce lawlessness OF
every kind wherever 1t appears; whether al
the hands Of mobs usurping the functions
OF the courts or by masked marauders in
ttmidating peaceful citizens or assailing the
property of the people.
We pledge ourselves to use every effort
to restore the supremacy of law and to
punish those, who violate the laws, and we
call upon all honest and patriotic men II
join with US in this first duty of good Demo
Gratis and good citizens.
