 The View With Alarm Clause.
 Tn common with the Democracy of our sister States, we view with great alarm the dangerous departure under Republican administration from the cardinal principles so earnestly incul- cated by. the fathers of the Republic as to the structure, powers and liml- tations of our Federal Government and so repeatedly declared and enforced in the platforms of our National Democ- racy. and we now proclaim our stead fast adherence to those principles as are necessary in our judgment to the preservation of our Democratic insti- tutions in their simplicity and purity and power.
 we charge the Republicans with establishing and maintaining an un- necessary. unjust and oppressive sys- tenn of Federal taxation and we de- mand relief for the people from these burdens.
 we charge them with great and reckless extravaganza in the eXpendi- lures of the large sums needlessly collected from tae people by their ex- cessive protection of the favored branches of industry beyond all pre- cedent or reason. and incapable of Justification or excuse.
 We charge them with the existence of fraud and corruption in the ad- ministration os inany of their public trusts and wiI sheltering guilty in cumbents from fnerited exposure and punishment.
 we charge that within the last few years under the Republican tariff i1ersl combinations of trusts and combines have been encouraged and fostered until so multiplied in number ard mower as to excite the gravest alarm that honest competition is to be stIfed and finally crushed. We de- t&4and that the Republican party shall ne stripped of the power 1t has so merctlessly abused We believe that the times and conditions require a change of administration and we know inc Democratic party may be relied ,,po, +o undertake the task of purify ing the administration.
 @yVa demand a change of system, a chance of administration. change of nassEres and men, and to that enL we earnestly and confidently call upon inc people to rise in their reslstless mower and apply the remedles reauy to be furnished by the DeHoera'ie party" ,-. .,..s,. ro,at- ing to state affairs it was recommend ed that the Australian secret ballot system or some similar system be adopted for all elections in the State.
