THE PLATFORM.
milwaukee,. Wis, Sept A The fol.
lowing is the platform in fun as
adopted by the democratic conyon-
ton here yesterday.
I've realize that tho ropub-
ucan party of history has been
temporarily at least, driven
from the political field in this state,
and that in this campaign We are con
frontcd by an organization outronChcd
in political power, which has de-
bauChed and viii continue t. dCbauCh
the public service for the accomplish
ment of political and personal ends,
1t is a matter of history that the
nominee of the Madison convention Sc
cured his nomination THROUGH the act
i've efforts of the employees of the state,
wlo at his bidding, organized and con
troNod the caucuscs and conventions
i'm his personal interest drawing com
nousation for the time they were thus
'IIIpN'h mum wv '''uHh'A VI wv
state.
We charge that the candidate Of
! the Madison convention has demon
.uated his ability to mslcad the pco-
pile in pretending hostility to the lead
ems Of his party in high places, while
Coyertly seeking their friendly assist
aucc in furthoring his personal ends;
and in attempting to return the fayors
received from corporations by adyis-
nu the legislature I'm his annual mes
sage. and with reference TO tho willing
ness of property owners within the
state to pay taxes that the railway
companies have been fairer than the
average of individuals" (senate jour
nal p 25).
We condemn such shameful traf-
fic in the nomination of state supcrln-
tondent Of public instruction as was
entered into by the Madison convon-
ton, tolerated by the chief executive
Of the state and shielded by his organ
l2alIon. The conceded barter and sale
Of the school interests Of the state to
ltNdtIOuS DOOR dBtllh II an uHDdluoH-
able crime against education and
should meet with a prompt rebuke
from all progressive and highminded
citizens. The educational interests OF
the state should be kept out of polit-
ical life and free from commercial in
fuonces; and we appeal TO the women
OF Wisconsin. who have vote on all
school questions to join US and rally
for the support Of the principles Of
hooping school matters out of politics
We favor the election Of state superin-
tnudent of public instruction at the
same time and in the same manner as
tic judges Of the supreme court
The republican party has de-
bauched our state government by ere
a'ng a multitude Of useless offices,
and filling them with political favor
iJas whose sole duty Is to promote the
Political interests Of those who ap-
pointed them The army Of game war
dnns, oil inspectors and factory inspect
Or. foisted upon the people Of Wiscon-
sla by the republican party OF this
state is a fair example OF republican
