The Republican party, proud OF its
past record as the sincere and consist.
ent friend OF labor. hereby renews it's
declaration OF faith in the principle
that every man who tolls should re-
ceive an equitable proportion OF the
wealth created by his labor BY rea-
son Of the operation Of just and bene-
icent protective tariff law employers
have been enabled 10 accord to labor
wages literally commensurate with the
service performed. The history OF the
Republican party Is a continuation OF
chapters OF legislation enacted In the
interest OF labor. and as prominent ex-
amples OF such legislation we refer to
the enactment os our strict lmmigra-
ton laws and their consistent enforce
ment under the supervision OF &C.
credited representatives OF organized
labor. and the enactment OF humane
legislation tending TO the protection
and preservation OF life among work
ingmen engaged In following hazard
Gus occupations We especially arraigr
the Democratic party OF Texas for the
hypocrItlcal attitude assumed toward
the cause of labor by reason OF It's con
temptuous neglect 20 reconcile It's plat
form pledges 10 It's legislative perform
ances. and its cowardly evasion and 70
pudlation OF its expressed promises,
holding that said pledges were made
for TIE express purpose OF political ex.
pediency and with no thought toward
their ultimate fulhllment
We condemn the Indifference OF the
Democratic party in this state In treat
ing with the question OF protection Tor
railway employees. We demand legis-
lation looking TO the employment OF
safety devices. as Is required by our
national laws. and for providing the
greatest possible protection TO the life
and limb OF employees.
We condemn the Democratic party
for the enactment OF unjust legisla-
ton. eurtailing personal liberty OF the
citizen In the form OF sumptuary laws,
whereby the equal protection In the
law Is denied citizens OF incorporated
towns and the agitation and local dis
senslons constantly fomented aud en-
mites engendered. destructive OF the
peace OF the whole communities by
reason OF the obnoxious character
thereof
We condemn as fiagrantly inefficient
and yiclOns the Democratic administra-
ton OF our state penal institutions.
asylums and other state institutions as
disclosed by the recent report OF the
state investigating committee. We
point 10 the recent disclosures. touch
ing the methods which characterize the
administration OF our state treasury
as lndisputable evidence OF Democratic
ineompetency to govern.
We further condemn the so-called
Democratic party OF the state and ma
ton for the advocacy and enactment
OF sumpiuary and restrictive laws. for
lis fancied and Ineffective declarations
against capital and enterprise. for its
opposition 10 the American flag In our
newly acquired lands and those who
maintain II there. Reversing their
once cardinal principle OF expansion.
they present a spectacle OF vacillailon
and uncertainty on every vital ques-
ton OF the day. In the campaign Of
1886 they demanded higher prices Tor
the products % he farm and field and
factory In their present campaign
they demand lower prices for every
product OF labor. They invite every
ism and encourage every new thing
that will bring them a vote. regardless
OF their country's welfare.
We condemn the present use by the
state OF convict labor in competition
with our farmers and the workingmen
In our factories. We favor the use OF
convict labor outside OF the walls OF
the penitentiary only on public roads
and highways. and especially urge
their employment In lettering and de.
veloping a system Of highways through.
out the state.
We are opposed 10 the formation and
maintenance OF secret political organ.
nations intended to control county
government as contrary 10 the spirit
OF American institutions. and demand
that laws be enacted that will prohibit
combinations for such purposes.
We condemn the use OF the ranger
forces OF the state for the purpose OF
controlling or influencing elections.
In emphasizing the tolerant and lib
eralizing policies OF our party. we in
wife the participation OF every patriotic
citizen In our state. and make espe-
ciaily welcome th0se who ahandoufng
their former party alignments. have
contributed 20 our successes In the past
and by their counsels and support OF
the growth and progress OF our party
IN the future.
