THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. IM'ATFOltHS. As a rule republican leaderxhlbU great Mil and Ingenuity In the conduction of platform! upon which to goto thecounrty anneallns for import. But the author of the platform adopted at the republican state convention at Portland exhibited neither skill nor ingenuity and at the same time showed an entire lack of candor and sober regard for facts. The first plan pledges the party to an 'eilkicnt and eco nomical administration of every depart ment of government both state and nation al." When we read this in the light of the historv of the last legislature It forces a smile on the face of the most sober. N legislature ever met In this state that was CO profligate of public funds as that legis. ature. Combines and schemes on (ides were made to loot the treasury, and so succcsslul were they that the appropria tions made amounted to over one million dollars. The indignation among rcpubll can voters at this course of their leaders was great and it is no wonder these leaders are forced to say they favor economy. And while these lines in their platform were being written the leaders in that party 1 congress were engaged in the same bold. profligate course with public moneys of the people. All over the countrv the boast has even been made that the surplus in the treasury is not nearly so much as It wa. when Cleveland vacated the presidential chair, although their has ben r.o reduction of the burdens of taxation. This platform declares the free school system of tin state as the special care and pride of th republican party. What nonsense balderdash The- free school system this state is the care and pride of the feofle of tliis state, democratic and republican taxpayers alike contributing the means to support it. When we consider the mag nlficent increase in the school fund of 111 state the last four years under the careful and economical management of a demo cratic governor and state treasurer, one Would not be to blame tor concluding that the free schools of the state were the special care and pride of the democrats. A pledge is made for a pure electoral System and the party Is pledged to the Australian system. But these republican leaders seemed to have lost sight of the fact that eve,i that svstem was not stringent enough to prevent its leaders from practicing the most outrageous frauds In Montana and thereby securing the seat Ing of two fraudulent United State Sena tors. V.'e are told in the fifth plank thai the party favors protection. It is a curious kind of protection they favor. They put diamonds on the free list and a high duty on tin all in the Interests of the farmer, They Javor that kind of protection that would put sugar, a home industry, on the free list, and on tin, (an article not pro duced In this country) they place 1 very high duty. The eighth pla.ik says they fivor an equal distribution ot taxation. That party has had control of the legisla ture for years and they have uniformity refused to pass any laws that would make taxation fair and equal. And so on to the end uf the most vulnerable platform we have ever read. At a future time futher notice will be taken of it. of In addition to lowering the duty on plaros the republican tariff bill puts works of art on the free list. With Ills music room and picture galleries thus pro vided for the western farmer ought to be superlatively happy. The proposition in congress to tax cot-ton-s:ed oil has aroused the negroes of the 5outh. They propose to secede from the republcian ranks if Reed's quorum taxes cotton seed. "Republicans, do your duty to-morrow!" tragically ordered a Montana paper the day before the municipal elections In Butte. They did It, and submitted to a beautiful thrashing at the polls. 'If a party newspaper refuses to publish the names of its candidates, or to give them a word of recommendation to the voters until said can dida'es come out and plank down a good swag of coin for its doing so, would that not be call ed black mail of the meanest and blackest fort ? I A great many republicans think and say so, 1 be democratic county central committee has placed the name of Frank Farrell on tl ticket for coroner. This is a wise selection Frank is one of Albany's energetic business men and a popular democrat as well. Frank is now engaged in the wire works business and nukes friends of all whom he meets. The republicans of this state declare in favor oi taxing nouses ol worship and lots upon wluca such houses are built, burial ground: and the personal property of all literary, benev olent, charitable and scientific institutions.
