A RATION AKTKKWAKI) STRANUKLY DKKlNKIi; First?That we reatllrm our allegiance to o the Democratic party oi the l ulled States v and declare again our belief in the pnuelples v upon which the party was founded by 'J'hom u,a ocuriouu. I'AI.I. ItKAKKKH KRING IN TIIK POLITICAL COBME. l| Second -That we endorse in full and In particular the platform adopted by the a Democratic convention at Chicago In 1806, t and that we adhere to the principles therein * enunciated without qualification or amend- J) ment, and demand their reaffirmation by the J-, convention which will meet In Kansas City 1 on July the4th next. F KEPOBI.ICANS DENOUNCED. AND CHARGED f WITH THE EXISTING PROSPERITY. 0 \ lhlrd?That we oondemn as Injurious to t the best interests of this country the financial a legislation of the Republican majority In congress. Iu policy proves the subserviency of that party to the trusts and national bank interests. 8 KUNCOXME? FIRING AT WIL1.?UNPROVED ASSERTIONS. (. Fourth?That we view with alarm the v power which the trusts, through the Repub- c llcan party, are exerciBlng over legislation t and national policies and their ability to J control the prices of the necessities of llle i without regard to the law of supply and de- c maud. We condemn the bypocritloal aiti- fi tude of the Republican leaders who abuse * trusts and combines, while they use the ? money obtained from them and stolen from ? the people to debauch the Ignorant voters of < the country. POLITICAL SPEECH BY TILLMAN. ? *-* * (ho ImnprlallstlC ' Kill O ? lOUb WO UCUUUUVO VMV ?I? policy-of the present administration under i President William McKinley, as contrary to the letter and spirit of the Declaration of < Independence and the constitution of the United States, and as dangerous to the liberty and freedom not only of the people of the * Spanish islands but of the citizens of this country as well. "The benevolent assimlla- < tion"ofthe Filipinos has proven to be tbe i benevolence of murder and tbe assimilation ' of robbery. We denounce It as an ontrsge to 1 consciences of llbertyloving-Amerlcans. Our free Institutions cannot long survive tbe I destruction of those principles upon which i they rest, and tbe spectaole of subject peoples held down by tbe bayonet and robbed by * carpetbaggers but foreshadows the fate for ourcouotry unless the people are aroused to ' to our danger. The unjust war ofsubjugatlon t now being carried on in tbe Philippines by President McKinley should be ended at once ' with definite and pacific declaration to tbe I natives as to the intentions of tbls country to aid them In the establishment of a free gov- i ernment of their own choice, under a protectorate by the United States. ol.omors WAR WITH Sl'AIN?Ot.ORIOtTS | 1'1'IW.N PATRIOTS. Sixth?That we deiiiumi :i strict adherence on the part of the United (States government . to the solemn pledges by which congress promised independence to theCuban patriots, and for which this country waged a successful and glorious war with Spain. REAI, HARD SENSE COMBINED WITH ?OOD I DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. J Seventh?That we denounce and condemn c the unjust and unconstitutional treatment of ' Puerto Rico by the Republican party, whose s l? tlloiral hut c l U buab iOlBUU ID UUV Wll IJ IIVQW* w> unworthy of a republic, and we demand are- e cognition of Puerto Klco under the constltu- f tlon of the United States and on the same basis with tbe other territories RECOGNITI0N OK FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANTS. c Eighth?That we endorse the course of those ' Democratic senators and representatives who ! opposed the imperialistic legislation enaoted by tbe Republican congress for the government of Puerto Rico. ANOTHER SPEECH FROM TILLMAN* BOOSTING WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. 1 C Ninth?That we heartily commend and t approve the wise and conservative party leadership of William Jennings Bryan, tbe ablest statesman of the, day and promise bi&i our unqualified support for tbe presidency of t tbe United States, believing that he will re- J store the lost prestige of that high office and 8 execute its duties with a view to tbe good-of the people and not in tbe interest of plutocracy or according to the dictates of any foreign power. c THIRD AND LAST Sl'KECH OF TILLMAN? ' WHICH THE CONVENTION SWALLOWED, C AND WHICH THE PEOPLE OF THE * UNITKD STATES WILL SPEW OUT. Tenth?That we express our hearty dympa- ' ttiy with tbe iwo >outh African republics ? now tigiiuut; so valiantly ror liberty ugainm;* tbe Immense armies of Ureal. i'.rltaiu. Her 1 unrlgbteouB course deserves tUe coudemna- * tlon of all lovers of Belf-govment, and we denounce tbe cowardice of the present ( administration for not extending an offer of ! Its good officers to terminate the unholy war ' of BUbjagatlon. CONTRIBUTED LOCALS. What *'.H" See* and Hears 011 His UoiiimIm About tbe C\ty. Abbeville, S. C., May 23,1900.
