The Revenue Law.

there men who are democrats be
cause they believe in the principles
enunciated by the national democrat
ic convention for which they stood for
years. They have not been very suc
cessful so far as capturing ollice Is con
cerned hut they have kept up their
organization, and each year they show
an increased vote This noble band
mei a iew nays ago ami nominated a
county ticket, and they also adopted a
platform. They indorsed the plat
form adopted at St. Louis, and they
also said:
"NN e favor the repeal of the infa
mous and unfair revenue law enacted
by the last republican legislature, and
lavor the enactment of a wise and
just revenue law that will more eiiui 1
ly distribute the burdens of taxation
upon all properly, whether corporate
or Individual, and we favor abolishing
tlu ollice of county assessor, and tin
return to the system of township as'
sessors.''
The democrats of the state ought to
adopt a similar plank. The republi
cans are responsible for the present II
nanclal conditions of the state, they
are responsible for the increased in
debtedness, and they are responsible
for the revenue law that has increased
the taxes of every person and corpora
tion hi the state. It is time to 'turn
the rasealsout."-NebraskuCity News.
