The Texas Platform.
1.-THE Democrats of Texas, in con-
vention assembled, declare their faith
in the principles of the party as set
forth in the Kansas City platform, and
we believe that with Democratic sue
cess in 1904, the dangers of imperial
mergers and other combines hurtful
to our people, unjust taxation and
kindred evils, would no longer con-
front our country.
I'VE favor a broad and enlightened
policy towards capital and corpora
tons doing business within our state
and towards those desiring to enter
our state for the purpose of develop
ing its great natural resources and
for the protection of such, as well as
for the protection of all our people
without regard to condition; we de-
clare our opposition to trusts, mergers
and other combines for the restriction
of rade; and demand that the next
Legislature shall pass a law or amend
our present laws so that it will be i'm
possible for such corporations to dc
business in Texas"
1t is noticeable that neither Bryan
nor free silver was specifically men
toned. The convention completed its
labors tonight and adjourned sine die,
