The committee on platform report
ed the following:
We, your committee on platform
and resolutions, beg leave to report
as follows;
!. The democracy of Ellis couH-
| ty, in convention assembled, hereby
reaffirm and endorse the cardinal
principles and declarations of the
democracy, embraced in the last
democratic platforms national and
state.
>. In addition thereto we favor
the development and Improvement
of the Trinity river and the other
waterways of this state, by the
United States government, and we
ask for liberal appropriations for
such purpose.
3. we further favor the PROPOSE
ton to hold our primary elections
throughout the state upon the same
day, and we hereby instruct our del
egates to the state convention to
favor Incorporating this demand I'M
to the democratic platform, and we
favor throwing abont the primary
election every safeguard and pro-
lection accorded by law to the gem
eral election.
Robt. wimbish offered the follow
ing substitute for the first clause of
the platform:
We reatfirm our allegiance to the
] principles of democracy as laid
| down and promulgated by our found
J err, Thomas Jefferson.
Discussion on the substitute be-
came quite animated, some holding
that the last national declara-
ton was party law until. chang
ed by the same authority.
Those favoring the substi-
tute commended that to vote it down
was reputation of Thomas Jeffer-
son; that the substitute was broad
enough for every democrat to stand
upon and committed the party to
none of the issues upon which it
had twice met defeat. The snbsti-
tute was voted down and the plat
form adopted as reported,
I. S. Hamilton, of Italy, was
elected chairman of the executive
committee for the ensuing two
years.
Instructions were made for DIR. A.
NJ. Douglass for state senator and
F. A. Williams for associate justice
of the supreme court. Chas. l..
Tarleton, of Hillsboro, endorsed for

ance, statistics and history under
