Harmony and good feeling prevailed throughout and all seemed satisfied. Clackamas county was represented on the platform committee by George Ogle for the populists and A W Cheney for the democrats. W W Myers was elected state committeeman for this county for the populists and T F Cowing for the democrats. Col Robt A Miller, of Oregon City, wis put in nomination for congressman for first district but absolutely declined and in a neat speech put in nomination the man selec ed by convention. Col Mil ler could have been selected had he not refused. The following platform was adopted : We, the di mocrats of Oregon, in con vention assembled, do hereby reaffirm and indorse, in whole and in part, in let ter and in spirit, the plaiform adopted by the democratic convention held in Chicago in 1896. And the money plank of the democratic, people's party and silver republican parties of 1898 We favor amendments to the Federal Constitution specially authorizing an in come tax and providing for the election of United Stat as senators by a direct vote of the people. Resolved, That we are opposed to government by injunction, as applied to labor troubles and ati ikes, and there suiting deprival of the right of trial by jury lo men who are charged with crimi nal acta. We be'ieve in the paesage of an employers' liability act, applicable to railroad companies, similar to sich acts now in force in other Btates, by which the doctrine of fellow service, and that an employer is not liable lo one ser vant for the negligence of another, shall be abolished. And we also believe that where an injury is caused by the negli gence of the master, the mere fact that he knew of the negligence and continued in employment, should notdefeat his re covery. And we pledge ou' members of the legislature to favor legislation along these liiv s,and also repealing or extend ing the limit of recovery for the death of an employe. We further favor a reasonable super vision and limitation by the statp, of the operation of railroad trains, and of the number of cars which may be hauled in a train; and a limitation of the hours which the employes shall work without rest. We further believe that, legislature should pass laws bv which the books of a railroxd corporation should be open to inspection by the proper officials of the state, so that a reasonable rate law may be established, and reasonable w tges be secured f r employes. We reaffirm our former declaration in favor of the initiative and referendum and pledge our candidates for the legis lature to support the pending amend ment to the constitution submitting (tie question of direct legislation to the peo ple. We denounce the doctrine that an ex ecutive or a congress created and limited by the constitution can exercise lawful authority beyond that constitution, and in violation of it. Believing that a na tion can not long endure half republic and half empire, we oppose wars of con quest and colonial possessions. The Filipinos can not be citizens with out endangering our civilization; thev cannot be subjects without endangering our form of government, and we are not willing to surrender our civilization or to convert a republic into an empire, we favor an. immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give to the Fili pinos, first, a stable form of government ; second, independt uce, and, third, pro tection from outside interference, as it has for nearly a century given protec tion to the republics of Central and South America. We favor the expan sion of trade by erery legitimate and peaceful means, but we are opposed to purchasing trade at the cannon's mouth with human blood, neither do we be lieve that trade secured and held by force is worth the price that must be paid for it. We are in favor of extend ing the nation's influence, but we be lieve that influence Bhould be extended, not by force aud violence, but through the persuasive power of a high and hon orable example. . .- , We oppose militarism. It imposes upon the people an unnecessary burden and is a constant menace. A small standing army and a well-equipped state militia are sufficient in time of peace; in time of war the citizen-soldier should oe a republic's defease, and as an exam ple, we point with satisfaction to the brave and gallant services of the Second Oregon in the late Spanish-American war. We sympathize with, the Boer repub lies of South Africa, in their noble and brave struggle for liberty and national existence. We condemn tha present republican congress for obeying the demand of the trusts for a tariff upon goods imp irted to Puerto Rico, and inhibiting free in tercourse between our people fend the people of Puerto Rico in the matter of trade. We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding and extortion-inviting measure, skillfully devised for the pur- Sose of giving to a few favors which they o not deserve, and of placing upon the many, burdens which they should not bear. We demand that articles controlled by trusts be placed upon the free lists and we favor the enactment and enforce ment of such law? as will effectually sup press and destroy all trusts and all com binations of capital that control free in tercourse and trade among our people. We condemn the financial legislation of congress of the United States as tend ing to the establishment of a money trust subversive of the liberties and rights of the American people. We favor the immedia'e construction. , ownership and fortification of the Nica ragua caua: by the United States. . We are opposed to any and all pro posed legislation providing for the leas ing to corporations or individuals any portion of the public domain for grazing purposes to the detriment of actual set tlers and homeseekers. , We favor government ownership ot the telegraph as part of the postal sys tem of the United States.and weobserve with approval the movement through out the country, looking toward the mu nicipal ownership of municipal fran We dencunce the extravagance of the republican party of the state of Oregon in its management of state and munici pal affairs. , The following resolutions were added to the platform ; Whereas, The United Slates is in debted to the Pioneer Ind'un War Vet erans of. Oregon for the occupancy and conquest of this North Pacific coast.serv ing in the Indian wars of this coast, from 1846 to 1856, as faithfully and rendering service as valuable as any volunteers ever did in defence of our national do main. Wherea -i, After the lapse of half a century they have not received just recognition, though it has bien promise ! at each recurring election for the last 3') years; and, Whereas, The chairman of the House of Representatives has now given out that action must again be postponed; Resolved, That patience ceases to be a virtue, and in behalf of our aged vet erans, whose ranks are .so rapidly dwindling a vay, we protest against this unjuaiinabie neglect ami we attinn tnat no veteran or his friend can longer vote the republican ticket while these pledges often made and long overdue, to pension the tottering old heroes, remain unre deemed by that party. Resolved, That we denounce and condemn the iniquitous gerrymander in the last apportionment bill, as depriving many counties of their ju't and fair rep resentation and as violating tt e spirit if not the letter of our constitution. Whereas, The Chinese Exelu.-ion Act expires in March, 1901 ; be it Resolved, Tbr.t our candidates to con gress be and they are hereby instructed to use their utmost endeavors to have said law re-enacted with an amendment including immigrants from Japan, The ruiddle-of the road populist to the number of ten, met and put up a state ticket.
