The platform is rs follows:
We, the delegates of the Democrat
ic party Of the Sixth judicial district.
in convention assembled, approve the
national platform of the Democratic
party adopted at Kansas City as being
the basic principles Of our government,
nd vr-a y,To
Untiring efforts to secure the election
Of that interchangeable leader and able
exponent of American principles, the
Hon. W. j. Bryan, and with pride we
point to him as the new son OF the
republic, the Washington the Jeffer-
son, the Madison, the Monroe the
Jackson and the Lincoln of the ma
ton.
we denOunce the methods and poll
Icy of the present administI ton as
the first and only to leave the ark of
the republic and stray after strange
gods; to be enthroned as emuerors on
this land Of liberty; as the first and
only administration, chameIeon-like TO
mark cut plan and policy of govern
ment one day, and then, at the instance
and request of the money power.
change it the next; TO declare that it
would be criminal aggression to axe
the Philippines by force, and then.
after, to take them against their will
at a great sacrifice of American blood
and treasure; as the first and only ad-
ministration 10 designate a policy of
equality as our plain duty" to the
Porto Ricans and then deny them the
rights of American citizens: as the
first and only administration that ever
turned IT'S back on the Declaration of
independence of our beloved country
and dragged its principles of liberty
and right in the soil of our common
heritage; as the first and only admin
lstratiOn to send commissioners to an
international congress to agree upon
bimetallism, and at the same time TO
take measures at home to defeat it and
fasten the gold standard on the people.
we charge the present administra-
ton as having done this and much
more inimical to the welfare of the re-
public and its people, and if it is per-
mitted to continue to plant it's imperial
crown upon other lands saturated by
the blood of our nations sons, God
alone can tell where it will end, or
how soon, like old Rome, whose policy
is now being followed, it must totter
and fall under the weight of its mighty
army and navy and its enslaVed and
impoverished people.
we charge the policy OF the Repub-
liCan state administration as being
detrimental to the interests of the peO-
pie Of the state in opposing the re-
monetiZation of silver"

followed by a short but strong and
stirring address by Mr. Mansfield.
