to remedySto some extent this great
wrong, we favor an income tax, and
favor all constitutional methods to
sustain i6.
We denounce the republican party
for the defeat of the Teller resolutions
declaring our national bonds payable
in silver al well as gold, and denounce
it for it's determined purpose of o
thoroughly fastening the single gold
standard upon our people, and for its
avowed hostility to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver as we'll as
gold, at the ratio of 16 TO I, into full
legal tender money.
We denounee the Republican party
for its determination to issue bonds at
this time, and we denounce the
Republican war tax bill which lately
passed the House of Representatives
as unjust and unequal in its burdens,
unnecessary and ve%xatious; and we
demand the silver ~seignorage be
coined; that an income tax be levied,
and that the Secretary of the Treasury
be authorized to issue the necessary
amount of full legal tender greenbaCks,
or United States Treasury notes, in
order to meet the expenses Of the wal
with Spain and to supply the revenue
deficit under the Dingley bill.
While we deplore the war with
Spain, we pledge our earnest support
to the Government in all honorable
ways to effect a speedy and successful
conclusion of hostilities.
We denounce the scandal, extrava
gance, incompetency and corruption
of the present Republican State ad-
m~inistration.
We denouuce all enactments of the
last two legislatures by which cities
and towns in the State have been
turned over to negro domination, and
we pledge ourselves to enact such laws
as will give security and protection to
the property and people of every town
and community in the State.
We denouuce the placing of negroes
on committees to supervise white
schools, and we pledge ourselves, if
restored to power, to enact such legis-
lation as will make this impossible.
We denounce all legislation enacted
by the legislature of 1895 and 1892 for
carry ing out the base and partisan de
signs Of the Republican party.
We denounce the placing of ignor
ant, irresponsible and corrupt men in
eff 70.
We oppose the removal by corpor.
atoms of suits or cases from our State
to the Federal courts, and favor legis
lation to prevent it.
We favor fair and just election laws.
We favor a government of the PEG
pie, by the people and for the people
economy in expenditure, the abolition
Of unnecessary Offices, decency IN ad-
mi~nistration, constant improvement
of our educational systam, charity TO
the unfortunate, and rule by the white
men Of the State.
We favor the extension of the pow,
ers of the railroad commission, and a
close scrutiny into affairs in order to
ascertain, establish and maintain such
rates IS shall be fair and just to the
people snd to the transportation and
transmission corporations.
We cOndem free passes.
We favor the election of United
States senators and railroad commits
~sioners by the people.
We favor the enactment OF such
legislation as will encourage capital to
take investments within our State,
and guarantee that the same shall be
justly protected.
We favor a union of the silver forces
of the country IN the Congressional
elections. and cordially invite all vot.
ere, without regard TO past party at
fllations. TO unite with us in support
ing our candidates for Congress who
favor the free coinage of silver, thus
giving practical force and effect to the
recommendation of our Democratic
National Chairman, Hon. James K
Jones, and to the Congressional com
mi5tee.
We admire and recommend without
stint the great and gallant fight made
by Hon. William Bryan In the lasS
national campaign for the success of
our party and the principles of our
platform.
We call attention to the wise, eco
nomlcal, honest and honorable admin
