. The Democratic Convention. |
Continued from last week.
guarding agsinst land monopoly, as j
an evidence of the policy of domestic
development corn tem plated by tbe !
Democratic party, should it be piae- i
ei in power. |
ISTHMIAN CANAL.
The Democracy when entrusted j
with power will construct the Pans- I
ma canal speedily, honestly and I
economically, thereby giving to our j
people what Democrats have always j
contended for-* great inter-oceanic :
canal, furnishing shorter aDd cheaper
JiDes of transportation and brcader j
and less trammelled trade relations
with the other peoples of the world.
AMERICAN CITIZEN?!IIP.
We pledge ourselves to insist upon
the just and lawful protection of our
citizens at home and abroad and to
use all proper measures to secure to
them, whether native bom or natural
ized, and withont distinction of race
or creed, the equal protection of laws
and the enjoyment of all rights and
privileges open to them under the
covenants of our treaties of friendship
? and commerce; and if under existing
treaties the right of travel and sojourn
is denied to American citizens
or recognition is withheld from American
passports by any countries on
the ground of race or creed, we favor
the beginning of negotiations with
the government of such countries to
Beoure by treaties the removal of
these uojast discriminations.
We demand that all over the world
a duly authenticated passport issued
hv the government of the United
States to ao American citizen shall
be proof of the fact that he is ao I
American citizen and shall entitle
him to the treatment doe him as
such.
ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE
We favor the election of United
tig States senators by the direct vote of
y the people.
4, STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the territories
of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory. We also favor the imme
diate admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as separate States and a territorial
srovernment for Alaska and
I aerto Rico.
We hold that the officials appointed
to administer the government of
any territory, as weil ss with the
District of Alaska, should be bona
fide residents at the time of their appointment
of the territory or district
in which their duties are to be performed.
CONDEMNATION OF POLYGAMY.
We demand the extermination cf
polygamy within the jurisdiction of
the United States and the complete
separation of church and state in
political affairs.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We denounce the ship subsidy bill
recently passed by the United States
as an iniquitous apporpriation of public
funds for private purposes and a
wasteful, illogical and useless attempt
to overcome by subsidy the obstruction
raised by Republican legislation
to the growth and development cf
American commerce on the sea.
We favor the upbuilding of a merchant
mari^s without new or additional
burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the public
treasury.
reciprocity.
We favor liberal trade agreements
with Canada and with peoples of
other countries where they can be
entered into with benefit to American
agriculture, manufacturers, mining
or commerce.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We favor the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine in its full integrity.
ARMY.
We favor the reduction of the army
and of army expenditures to the point
historically demonstrated to be safe
and sufficient.
PENSIONS AND OUR SOLDIEP.S AND
SAILORS'.
The Democracy would secure to
the surviving soldier3 and sailors and
their dependents, generous pensions
not by an arbitrary executive order
but by legislation, which a grateful
people stand ready to enact.
Our soldiers end sailors who defended
with their lives the constitution
and the laws have a sacred interest
in their just administration.
They must therefore share with us
the humiliation with which we have
witnessed the exaltation of court
favorites, without distinguishing service,
over the scarred heroes of many
- ? i T . 3 1
Dallies; ana aggranaizea uy executive
and appropriations out of the
treasury of a prostrate people iu
violation of the act of coDgrees which
fixed the compensation or allowance
of the military officers.
CIVIL SERVICE.
The Democratic party stands committed
to the principle of civil service
reform, and we demand their honest,
just and impartial enforcement.
We denounce the Republican party
for its continuous aDd sinister encroachments
upon the spirit and
operation of civil service rules, whereby
it has arbitrarily dispensed with
| examinations for office in the interest
I of favorites and employed al! manner !
j of devices to overreach and set aside 1
the principles upon which the civil
service was established.
SCHOOL AND RACE QUESTIONS
The race question has brought
countless woes to this country. The
cairn wisdom of the American people
should see to it that it briDgs no
more.
To revive the dead and hateful ra- j
ciel and sectional animosities in any
part of our common country means
confusion, distraction of business
and the reopening of wcunds now
! happily healed. Xorth, south, east
acd west have but recently stood together
in line of battle from the wails
of Pekia to the hills of Santiago and
as sharers of a common giorv and a
common destiny we should share ]
fraternally the common burdens.
We therefore deprecate and con;
demn the bourbon-like, selfish and
! narrow spirit of -the recent Rapubli|
can convention afc Chicago, which
| sought to kindle anew the embers of
| racial acd sectional strife, and we
! 8ppeal from it to the sober, common
I sense and patriotic spirit of the
American people.
TIIE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
The existing Republican adminisj
tration has been spasmodic, erratic,
I sensational, spectacular and arbitrary.
I Tt has made itself a satire upon tho
congress, the court9 and upon the {
settled practices and usages of national
acd international law.
It summoned the congress into J
hasty and futile tasks.
It made war, which is the sole '
power of congress, without its au- f
thorifcy, thereby usurping odo of its 1
fundamental prerogatives. It viola- '
ted a plain Btatute of the United '
States as well as plain treaty obliga- 1
fcions, international usages and con- !
stitutional law; and has done so
under pretense cf executing a great 1
public policy which could have been (
more easily effected lawfully, con- '
stitutionally and with honor. !
It forced strained and unnatural
constructions upon statutes, usurping
judicial interpretation, aud eub- J 1
stitutiog congressional enactment | |
decree.
It withdrew from congress their
customary dutie3 of investigation
which have heretofore made the representatives
of the people and the [ '
States terrors of evil-doers.
It- conducted a secretive investigation
of its own and boasted of a few, ' 1
9 j
ample convicts, while it threw a broad j
coverlet over the bureaus which had j
been their chosen field of operative
abuses, and kept in power the superior
officers under whose admicis (
tration the crimes had been committed.
It ordered assault upon some
mouopolie?, but paralyzed by its first I
victory it fluDg out the flag cf truce
and cried out ^uat it would not "run
amuck,"' leaving its future purposes
beclouded by its vacillations.
APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY. |
Conducting the campaign upon
this declaration of our principles and
purposes, we invoke for our candidates
tbe support, not only of our
great and time-honored organization,
but also the active assistance of all
our fellow citizens, who disregarding
past differences upon questions no
longer in issue, desire the perpetuation
of our constitutional government
aa framed and established by the
fathers of the republic.

Not withstanding all that is dour by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons the death rate anions small
children is very high during the hot

Reply to Klondike.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please give me space in your columns
for a short answer to Klondike's
piece of June the 22 J. He starts cff
on the county board, by saying he is
not disposed to be bossy, then pro
poses to question, for tie says all the
poor deluded souls who offers for
road commissioners, etc.
Now as to being bossy, I think he
wants to be very bossy, for as soon as
I got in office I got a letter from him
stating I must go over and stake off
the roads and allow no one to throw
grubs in them. Then bis first question
to the poor deluded souls ie
are you going to be as sorry as your
predecessors? That looks like he
wants to boss the campaign. I think
if the successful candidates will go
to him with hats off and seek advice
they will be set cff right.
Of course, I suppose, it was an insult
to him, as I did not even answer
his letter. I thought I was elected
to use my judgment and not take all
the fool advice that I got.
Hoping Mr. Editor, ycu may find
something more interesting to your
readers than mine and Klondike's
foolishness, I remain yours,
G. W. Rseder.
