The Donulist and democratic state con

and good feeling prevailed throughout

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
