$4,000 miners of the Pennsylvania an
thracite region from their work Mon

President Mitchell calling out the min

State recalls the last great strike in the

THE PLATFORM.
The platform begins with pie ling
the Democracy of New York anew to
the principles and policies of Jeffer-
sonian Democracy and in forcing the
platform adopted by the last Demo-
cratic National Convention. Ii con-
tnues:
I'VE recognize the truth of the dec
laration OF that convention that the
burning issue of Imperialism growing
out of the Spanish war. involves the
very existence of the republic ana the
destruction of our free institutions.
we regard IT as the paramount issue
of the campaign.
Upon this issue, therefore. we invite
all citizens of our State TO promote the
election of n Democratic President.
however they may differ upon national
issues which at this time are inferior
in rank"
Relative to trusts, the platform spc-
officially condemns the corporate com
bination known as the Ice trust ana
denounces all combinations of capital
known as trusts as inevitably and in
tolerably unjust to both producer and
consumer, one result of which is to de-
stroy all individual enterprise and to
rob the young men of the country OF
the fair competition which in Demo
cratic times constituted the great glory
of the nation and permitted the al.
vancement and Independence of our
youth.
The platform cordially indorses the
candidacy of Mr. Bryan.
