DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Be it reaolved, By the democrats of
Tbxris in oonvention nssomblod!
'1. That we indorse in overv par-
ticular the platform adopted by the
National democratic convention at
Chtoago in 4S08v but wo cspeoiiiUy
commend and approve thr aeclare-
tioqa iu favor Of an income tax, aganst
thepowfr of banjes to issue money;
for a t Wff for rev«nue that will op-
erate Without disoriminatiou against
t:lassos or sections and for the freo and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver
ftt the ratio Of 18 to 1, Willi full lo;s*.il
Tender qualities,and without refvreiice
.0 tbe action of other government*.
Wo denounce the republican
party for the passage of the Dingley
tariff bil', which places the burden ot
tariff taxation upon those least able to
bear it, and which has resulted in a
great deficit in the revenne.
8. We declare that the present war
cannot and shall not obstruct tbe
money question, upon whioh the tight
in 1900 will be chiefly made, and that
tbe interest now being taken in the
two million people in Cuba and Porto
Rico must not distract from the vital
interest of the seventy-five millions of
our own people.
4. That while we recognize the ne-
cessity of a war tax, we aenounoe the
revenue bill passed by the republican
jurty for the gross inequalities there-
n, both in the tax imposed and the
exemptions made.
5. That we congratulate the coun-
try upon the skill and intrepidity of
the American soldiers and sailors iu
the present war, which we declare to
have been foived upon us by the mis-
conduct of Spain.
.0 That the democratic party will
crivu the pre«kle>nt of the United States
' t3 full support in all measures necea-
swrv to conduct this war to an early
and successful end.
7. That we favor a generous de-
velopment of the American navy to
whatever extent it may be necessary
to protect our commercc on every sea
and our citizaus in every land.
8. That we favor the construction
mid control of the Nicaraguau caual
by the United States.
9. That wo favor carryiug out to
the letter and spirit of the resolution
under which we intervened in Cuba,
and wo insist that the Cubans shall be
permitted to establish an independent
foverument ot their own; but iu the
event that the people of that island
shall hereafter desire to be annexed to
this country, and the torms of annex
ulion can 'be satisfactorily arranged
botwoeu the two countiioa, we will
welcome Cuba as a part of tbe terri-
tory of the United States.
10. We favor the acquisition of
Porto Rico, and all other Spanish
possessions in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
11. That we affirm our faith in the
Monroe doctrine, and oppose the an-
nexation or continued retention of the
TEXAS KEW8PAPEB COMMENT.
You may not believe it, but
sometimes an announcement in
your homo paper really brings
good results. —Eagle Pass Guide.

The proposition to lengthen tho

bo defeated. We are opposed to
any inoroase in taxes. —Bartlett

12. We approve the action of the
democrats iu congress in engrafting
upon the bill providing for the pres-
ent army provision tbat the increase
thereof be mustered out at the end of
this war; and wo declare against any
increase in the standing army of the
United States.
13. That we indorse tho action of
the Chicago convention in the nom-
ination of William J. Bryan for Presi-
dent ; approve the campaign he made,
and pledge him our support for the
nomination in 1900.
14. We indorse and commend tbe
administration of Governor Culhur-
sou and his associates as being eco-
nomical, wise and patriotic.
15. That whereas the democratic
party can justly claim that from its
irgtv-iisation it has been tho staunch
and consistent friend of the work-
ing classes, therefore we declare
it to be a convert principle that all
public work (including public print-
ing) should bo done within the oon-
tlnes of tho State, other things bosng
aqiiil, whenever possible.
17 We indorse the aailroad com.
mission law and the administration

sion to employ such ex-pe^ea3C°i? may

18. We indorse the able, honest
and economical method in which At-
torney General Crane has managed
the business of his high office
10. We favor the appointment by
tbe Twenty-sixth legislature of a com-
mittee to consist of tho Governor,

including tbe methods of levying and

osstry safeguards for checking the re-
ceiving and dispursing officers charged
with the duty of handling the State
funds, the said committee to report to
the legislature, making such recom-
endations as may be deemed wise and
practicable.
20. We recognize the necessity of
the development of our educational
system. We therefore declare that all
legiclativo assistance noccssary will be
givcu to bring the system to the high-
est posuible degree of efficiency con-
sistent with our financial conditions
