principles princi-ples We reaffirm our allegiance to the party principles as st forth in the national platform adopted at Chicago in June 1892 and we are in hearty accord ac-cord with the territorial platform IIIL adopted at Salt Lake city on September L Septem-ber 15 lWi We rejoice with the whole people of j the territory that Utah is about to enter en-ter the union as a free and soverign state Local selfgovernment ie a democratic dem-ocratic principle vouchsafed to us 1 Our party has again demonstrated that the people may be trusted We extend to the democratic congress con-gress and president our heartfelt gratitude ra grat-itude for tbe many expressions of goodwill good-will to the people of Utah in the passage pas-sage of the liberal enabling act in restoring re-storing to the Mormon church its confiscated confis-cated property in opening the Indian reservations for settlement in the j wise appointment of bona fide citizens of Utah to local offices in the extensive grants of land for various public purposes I pur-poses in the enfranchisement of hundreds of our citizens by the provisions I provis-ions of the enabling act and by the I more recent amnesty proclamation of President Cleveland all of which acts I of friendship are in striking contrast to the treatment accorded Utah by the I republican party iroudly we point to the record of our delegate in congress Hon J L Raw line whose untiring zeal great ability tact and diplomacy nave secured to us I so manv acts beneficial to Utah His I indefatigable labor and unparalleled success wilt surely be approved and rewarded I re-warded by his return to congress with s a vastly increased majority I We further commend the action of the democratic congress and administration administra-tion for the measure of tariff reform effected whereby Hundreds of million 1 of dollars will be saved annually to people of this country Obstructed as they were at every move by determined opposition they nevertheless succeeded in wresting from wealth and plutocrocy a portion of the means of increasing their illgotttn gains and in rendering 7 McKinleyism a lost cause We especially 1 es-pecially endorse the income tax provision pro-vision of the tariff law whi reby those most able will be required to bear amore I a-more just portion of the burdens of taxation I In the repealing of the federal election elec-tion law and thus securing freedom of citizens at the Jolls In revising the pension lists and J pension laws so aa to prevent spoliation spolia-tion of the public treasury by the undeserving I un-deserving while dealing liberally and justly with those who deserve the aid of government I It behooves the people of this county 1 and this territory to keep the republican 1 re-publican party out of power It is a I party of broken and postmortem promises prom-ises whose policy prompted by avarice and individual aggrandizement has precipitated the recent panic and I brought this country to the yeige of ruinWe We arraign the recent republican legislature of Utah for its intense partisanship and inefficiency for its attempt to divert the public moneys from their legitimate use to the payment pay-ment of bounties to select private enterprises en-terprises Had it not been for the wise action or the governor more than SSO 000 would have been taken from the public school tunu For its refusal to appropriate sufficient funds for the In gn p Asylum ihn Agricultural College the University of Utah by which parsimony those institutions ran only be cs rried on as required by law by loans which must be met bv the people peo-ple in the future For passing unwise I laws and refusing to DUBS others which would be for the common good We call attention to the efficiency and honesty which has marked every I department of our present county government gov-ernment Wise economy should rule in every branch of public service We believe that competency and fidelity are the only qualification for office We are in favor of home industries We are in favor of the full enfranchisement enfran-chisement of women and pledge ourselves our-selves to use our every effort to the end that our new constitution shall provide for woman suffrage on an equality with men We call upon the people to see to it that the state of Utah shall be founded upon the broad principles of the democratic demo-cratic par y which are the principles of jutlce and iren government Care must exercised that monopolies shall not get control of the public lands granted the state of Utah and that i as far as possible these lands be granted only to the actual settler We declare ourselves in favor of the free public school system where the children of the rich and the poor alike may partale freely of the blessings 01 public instruction We are in favor of the free and unlimited un-limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold Relying upon the fidelity intelligence and patriotism of the people of Utah county we
