LONE STAR WATER PROOF CEMENT PAINT,
FOR ROOFS. BRIDGES, BOILERS, STACKS, ETC.
THE BEST PAINT MANUFACTURED ON EARTH.
This is a mineral paint for metal and wood. It is a preservative of wood and metal,
and at the same time proof against Are and water. It gives an old shingle roof the
appearance of a new slate roof. It is, when applied, immediately subject to heat or
cold, and is beyond doubt the greatest invention of the age. We claim this to be the
best roofing paint in use, and are willing to test it with any similar paint. This paint
n guaranteed not to crack, scale, blister, run, rub or wash off, and to remain intact and
water-tight for three years from date (accidents excepted); and if notas guaranteed, I weatherford
obligate myself to repaint the work or refund the money.

THE CLARK PLATFORM.
We, the democrats of Texas, in state
convention assembled, renew our devotion
to the principles of government as taught
by Thomas Jefferson, and declare our be-
lief that all the evils of trusts, monopo-
lies, class legislation and the oppression of
the masses are the direct consequence of
departure from those principles.
1. We believe that equality before the
law is the foundation principle of the gov
eminent, und tliut all citizens have equal
right and none are entitled to special priv-
ileges. We further believe the perpetuity
of our institutions depends upon the en-
joyment by citizens of the largest measure
of individual liberty consistent with good
order and public safety.
2. We therefore oppose all sumptuary
laws which vex the citizen und interfere
with his individual liberty. We believe
the world is. governed too much and that
the least government which may suffice
for the protection of the citizen is the best
government, Government is instituted
among freemen solely f< r the protection
of life, liberty and property, and when-
ever it attempts to interfere with the busi-
ness of the country it is guilty of usurpa-
tion und ought to be rebuked by a free
people. Such attempts have always re-
sulted in promoting a certain class at the
expense of nil otbei classes, and thereby
fomenting injustice and precipitating dis-
tress upon the people. A wise and faugal
government, which shall restrain me from
injuring one another and which shall leave
them otherwise free to regulate their own
pursuits of industry und improvement,
and shall not take from the mouth of la
bor bread it has earned, is the sum of
good government. We are opposed to
any and all forms of "one man power"
and have an abiding fai h in the capacity
of the people for governing themselves.
We believe in the right of local self-gov-
einment untrammelled by the dictation
from any central authority. Wecondemn
all attempts to interfere with this right
coming from any source, aud we favor the
election of all of those by the people
themselves. Especially do we demand the
right to elect our railroad commissioners,
in order that such agency shall cease to be
dominated for personal und political effect
and that they may impartially determine
the differences between citizens and rail-
roads in such manner us muy be prescribed
by law. ltailroad corporations and all
other corporations, being creatures of law,
are subject to state regulation and control,
and we favor the continuance of the pres-
ent method of railway regulation by
means of a commissson, clothed with such
coiistitutionnl powers as may be requisite
for the protection of the people against in-
justice or extortion, but we nre opposed
to the taking of prívale property for pub-
lic use without just compensation.
3. Wecondemn all forms of commun-
ism and state socialism, and view with
alarm the existing war upon the" lights of
property in this state. Protection is guar-
anteed to every citizen by the constitu-
tion, with enjoyment of his rights of per-
son and of property, und it is the duty of
the state to extend its protectiou to all
forms of property, no matter whether it
may consist of farms or of ruilroads. The
right to own property carries with it nec-
essarily a right to its use and enjoyment,
including a reasonable return by way of
interest on its actual vidue, and we are op-
posed to all laws or methods desigred to
deprive the owners of any property of
this right.
4. We condemn all secret, oathbound
political organizations as unamerican un-
democratic, contrary to the genius of our
institutions and distructive of the liberties
of the people. Members of such organi-
zations have no place in a democratic
house hold, nd we view with alarm the
recent effort on the part of the present ad-
ministration in our state to utilize such as-
sociations in an attempt to dominate the
will and expression of the democrats of
Texas.
Our sympathies are most cordially
extended to ¡ill laboring people in their
efforts to better the condition of tin m-
selves and those dependent upon them,
and we will advocate and support all laws
calculated to protect them in their efforts
to better their condition. We deprecate
and will oppose all resorts to violence ¡or
revolutionary methods on the part of anv
class of our citizenship. Believing that
an appeal to the law always furnishes the
best protection to the citizens in the en joy-
ment of all rights, we especially condemn
the use in any emergency for foreign
armed mercenaries in this state and de-
mand of the legislature the passage of a
law forbidding such employment under
severe penalties.
6. The necessities of our people and the
development of our industries and means
of transportation demand that the intro-
duction of money at low rate of interest
in the state should be fostered and en-
couraged. We condemn all legislation
calculated to drive capital or immigration
from us as we extend a hearty welcome
to all honest people who may choose to
come to make their homes with us or to
invest their money here, and promise them
that their rights of person and of property
shall be guarded with the same jealous
care as our own, under the protection of
equal laws justly administered.
7. Our state government following in
the foot steps of the federal government,
is fast filling the land with public tax eat-
ers. We demand the abolition of all offi-
cers in the interest of necessary retrench-
ment and lowest rate of taxation and com-
munsuratc with the due protection of life,
liberty and property.
8. As an integral part of this democracy
of the union we indorse the platform of
principles recently adopted by the nation-
al democratic convention at Chicago,
„e our hearty support to the nominees
of said convention for president and vice-
president.
9. We oppose what is commonly
called the Jester amendment and the law
enacted thereunder becaus the effect of
the same will be to ultimately squarder
the permanent school fund.
10. We favor the protection against
claims by the slate and validation of land
titles where such lands haye been pur-
chased in actual good faith in reliance up.
on the department of the state issued upon
a construction of the laws by the execu-
tive department.
11. We oppose the investments of the
school funds in railroad securities.
12. We oppose perpetuities and monop-
olies, and we oppose the acquisition of
land by corporations, except such as may
be necessary to enable them to carry 011
the business for which they are created.
13. We arraign the administration of
Gov. Hogg because it has driven, and is
keeping capital from the state; because it
has unsettled land titles and retared immi-
gration, because his administration has
been undemocratic and despotic.
