Eeoroia's Ep1,+for>,,
THAT part Of the platform relating to
national affairs, adopted by the ccx-
vention Is as follows:
I'VE rejoice that the opening OF the
present national campaign finds the
Democratic party of tho State free from
disturbing discussions, firmly resolved 10
retain control of Our own State admins.
tration and readysito cooperate vigorous
~ with our brethren throughout tho
Union In q supreme effort to recover pos
session of the Federal government.
I'm common with the Democracy Of our
sister States we view with great alarm
the dangerous departure under Republic
can administration from the cardinal
principles so earnestly inculcated by the
ia theirs Of the republic as to the struc-
ture powers and limitation Of our Fed
eral government, and so repeatedly de-
clared and enforced in the platforms Of
our national Democracy, and we now
proclaim our steadfast adherence to
those principles as necessary In our judg-
ment to the pres ervation of our DenS-
ocratic institutions in their simplicity
and purity and power.
Charges Aairst Republicans
I'VE charge the Republicans with 2es-
tabllshing and maintaining an unneces-
sary, unjust and oppressive system Of
tox- al n,,. n III IN
lief for the people from these burdens.
I'VE charge them with great and reck-
less extravaganza in the expenditure Of
the large sums needlessly collected from
the people by their excessive protection
of the favored branches Of Industry be-
yond all precedent or reason. and In
capable Of Justification or excuse
.yVe charge them with the existence OF
fraud and corruption in the administrn-
with shelterng guilty incumbents from
merted exposure and punishment
1--WE charge that within the last few
years under the Republican tariff Illegal
combinations Of trusts and combines
have been encouraged and fostered until
so multiplied In number and power ~
TO excite the gravest alarm that honest
competition is to be stifled and finally
crushed. We demand that the Republic
1t has 50 mercilessly abused. We bo-
8lieve that the times and conditions re-
quire a change of administration. and we
know the Democratic party may be re-
lied upon to undertake the task of puri-
flying the administration
Want Australian System.
I'VE demand a. change OF system, a
change OF administration. a change OF
measures and men. and 10 that end we
earnestly and confidently call upon the
people to rise in their reslstless power
and apply the remedies ready to be fur
nished by the Democratic party
In that part of the platform relating
to State affairs 1t was recommended that
the Australian secret ballot system. or
some similar system be adopted for all
elections of the State.
