The following platform was adopted

We. the Democrats of Ramsey county,
in convention assembled, renew our al
legiance to the principles of the Demo-
cratic party and give our unqualified in
dorsement of the nominees of the Demo-
cratic state and congressional conven-
tions
We congratulate the people of the
state of Minnesota upon the opportunity
now accorded them of casting their. bal
lots for Hon. John Lind and pledge to
him and to Hon. John w. Willis, nom
inee for congress, as we'll as all of the
nominees of the Democratic state con-
ventiOn our earnest and cordial support
We denounce the Republican party of
Ramsey county, first, for it's recent at
tempt to make the judiciary subservent
to it's political organization; second, for
the failure of the officers elected by it
to properly discharge the duties of their
office.
| The past two years have witnessed a
condition Of public affairs in this county,
which, if continued, must be disastrous
to the interests of the taxpayers. The
| time Of public officers has been consumed
| in petty strifes and quarrels among
| themselves; members of the police de-
partment of the city Of ST. Paul were
| used as delegates to the late Republic
can convention to promote the interests
Of the favorites and consummate corrupt
| political deals of the chief magistrate of
| the city; and public funds have not been
| carefully guarded but have been handled
! so as to advance the interests of favor
| ties; taxes have not been fairly or equally
| levied, and criminals have enjoyed an
! immunity which has been unparalleled
| in the history of the county; the "sweat-
| box" has been substituted for intelligence
and the innocent have suffered and the
guilty escaped.
We pledge the efforts of the legisla-
| tive candidates of this convention to the
| end that sufficient and abundant means
shall be provided for the proper main
| tenance of our public schools. and that
| the exhorbitant emouments now receiv-
ed by both city and county officials shall
be reduced.
| We pledge the candidates Of this con-
vention to an economical, efficient and
honest administration of public affairs,
and on their behalf solicit the suffrages
Of the people Of Ramsey county.
The candidates are popular and well
qualied for the respective Offices, and
with the united efforts of the Democracy
