One Democratic Plank.

The devotion of the Democratic
party 10 the constitutional rights
of the States is so historic that the
parry's conventions have not
deemed it necessary upon all occas-
sions to expand upon it. When
the rights of the States are not
threatened the party let's It's record
speak for it on that subject, and
devotes itself to matters OF greater
present Importance.
But events of the last eight
months make 1t certain that one OF
the clearest and most emphatic dee.
larations of the Democratic MT
lonal Convention of next year Will
express the party's determination
to stand immOvable upon its prin
ciple that the rights of the States
must be respected by the Federal
power.
The national Democracy will
make no declaration that would
bring any State into clash with
the Federal Government, so long
as it is administered in close accor.
dance with the letter and spirit OF
the Constitution. But it will be
firmly asserted that the Federal
hand must be kept out of domestic
affairs of the States, and cOntine IL
self to the purely national, inter
national and interstate affairs
which it was created to deal with.
1t should be asserted, rs strongly
as words can speak, thut the Fed
eral Government has not the con
stitutional power to make treaty
involving IN any way the instltu-
tions lawfully created and sup
ported by the State. BY the words
of the Constitution treaties with
foreign nations are no more the
supreme law of the land than are
the laws enacted by Congress, and
both must accord with the Consti-
tuition.
The national Democracy will de
clare that there are no implied
powers in the Federal Government
except such as are clearly necces-
sary to the exercise Of the powers
expressly delegated by the consti'
tuition. There must be no short
cuts to the usurpatiUn of State
functions by the Central Govern
ment.
The convention next year will
do we'll to declare for the highest
efficiency in all branches of the
State governments, legislative, eX
cutive and judicial, to the end that
there may be no preteXt for Fed.
eral intervention in affairs which
belong properly to the States.
While giving full appreciation
to the beneiiclent jurisdiction Of
the Fedepul courts, acting within
their constitutional limitations, II
may be demanded that they eXer
else scrupulOus care not to bring
into play the superior power OF the
United States to suspend or reverse
State laws without good and suili-
cient cause properly shown, In
pending cases the decision of the
Supreme Court will define many of
the relations existing between the
Federal courts and the authority of
the States, but the insidiOus extern
sion of the Federal power through
the judiciary has been condemned
aud combated by the Democratic
party from the time of Thomas JEFF
ferson until now.
The checks and balance which
the Constitution makes between
State power and Federal power
have resulted in the best Govern.
ment over organized by men. The
Democratic party maintains that it
must be passed on to future gene.
rations as we inherited it fr m the
fathers. Republic.

were given out by the Hon. L. New
