The Platform.

The following platform was adopted
by the convention:
We, the representatives of the DEM
ocratic, Peoples and Silver Republican
parties of the state of Washington, as
sembled in joint convention this 29th
day of August, 1900, respectively re-
affirm our faith in the principles
enunciated by our respective national
conventions; and we pledge our earnest
support to the peerless representatives
of the people, William Jennings Bryan
and Adlai E. Stevenson.
We still believe in the Declaration
OF Independence, and therefore hold it
aloft' in preference to the imperialistic
policy of the Republican party.
We oppose trusts and combinations
which corner the products of industry
and levy tribute on the people.
We denounce these twin relics of
neutrality-suspicious. and militar-
ism-whether in the form of trusts at
home or greed of conquest abroad.
We pledge our representatives in
congress to work for the passage of
measure providing payment for the time
consumed by our state volunteers in
the late war with Spain.'
We favor just and liberal pensions
to the true and faithful soldiers of the
United States, including the gallant
Indian war veterans.
We demand such legislation as will
insure to the farmers and producers OF
the state of Washington reduction OF
freight rates aud fares to q. just basis.
We demand the Inauguration Of
such measures as shall give the people
the right to express themselves. when
they 80 elect, upon all important Ques-
tions, by the system known a. direct
legislation.
We commend the official conduct Of
all our state officers. and call attention
70 the contrast between the present ex-
cellent financial condition of the state
and the blight and ruin propheeied by
the opposition to surely result from the
election of our state officers.
We commend the wise, courageous
and patriotic manner in which the Hon.
George Turner, our representative in
the United States senate. has defended
the honor of his country and fulfilled
his duty to the people of the state Of
Washington.

Seattle, August 31.-John r. Rogers
was renominated for governor by the
union Democratic convention ON the
eigth ballot, at ] o'clock this morning.
He received 708ta votes. or 61a more
than the necessary number. The con-
test throughout was most exciting, and
great disorder many times marked the
course of proceedings in the tonven-
tion. Rogers on the first ballot re.
ceived 633 votes, and gained on every
ballot until his final victory. He was
actually nominated on the seventh bal
lot, but in the confusion and through
q misunderstanding as to the vote of
the Walla Walla Populists he lost four
votes intended to be cast for him. He
then wanted only 1H votes. The
chairman ordered another vote, which
was decisive.
The unexpected turn of events in
Rogers direction came about with the
nomination of Robertson, of Spokane.
tor congressman. This state nominates
both congressmen-at-large. 1t was the
plan of the anti Rogers faction to put
J. T. Ronald, of King, whom a great
majority undoubtedly. favor, against
Robertson, for one nomination, and
thus kill of Robertson. and leave the
way open to Voorhees, as q candidate
for governor. Robertson proved q very
strong candidate, and led Ronald. and
as the balloting proceeded seemed cer-
tain to defeat him.. Many delegates
voted for Robertson, expecting to give
Ronald the second nomination. The
King county man had made combi-
nation with Thurston Daniels for the
other nomination, and he could not
hppora5ly enter the second contest.
Daniels finally solved the problem for
King county and saved Ronald's neck
