The Democratic party of Brule county
in convention assem- ,bledresolyes as fol-
lows
That we re-allirm every paragraph
line and syilable of the platform of the
National Democratic convention held at
Chicago IN 1896.
We point with pride to the magnil-
cent campaign OF our inspired leader, in
tho great contest between The people aud
the great trusts aud corporations in 1896
and trust that in 1900 this government
will be- launched on an era in which the
people will rule, and that with the peer
less Bryan at tho head Of our craft we
will lave a government patterned after
the iilea of the fathers. i, Q. "A govern
ment, of the, people, by the people aud
for tile people"
We view with alarm the increasing
tendancy of those at the head of our Nat
ional government to build up the mon
led and corporate interests of the Nation
at the expense of the people, and we
especially denounce as inimical TO the
people the trust fostering provisions of
the Dingley bill, which levies tribute up
on the great mass of the people for the
benefit of the trusts and corporations.
We blush for shame as American citi-
zens at the un-Amprican and lnhuman
conduct of the present admins -"tion in
its dealings with The Cuban question.
and say that every loyal citizen must
feel humilated at the position of our
government. which is controlled bv the
monied power of the world In it's atti.
tude on this great question-and as low
ers IF liberty we say, that this govern
ment should put an immediate end to
the barbarous and outrageous state OF
affairs existing in Cuba.
| We denounce in unmeaSured terms the
efforts of the railway corporations Of
| this state to stihe the will and best int
erests of the people to obtain reasonable
passenger and freight rates. and COM
mend the efforts OF our Railway Com
mlssioners to do justice to the people
We commend the efforts of the Govern
er Of the state to probe to the bottom the
rottenness of the insurance department
of the Auditors Office and regret that le
gal Quibbles have been invoked to pre-
vent complete investigation Of the
state offices at Pierre.
We denounce the nnbIushing efforts of
the republican party through its leaders
tC select and control the courts of the
state in the interests of the railroads and
other corporate Interests.
