Indiana Democrats.
The democratic state convention of
Indiana met at Indianapolis on Juno
4, and tho convention was marked
throughout by harmony, candidates for
all but three of tho offices being
chosen by acclamation. Much inter
est was created in the adoption of tlie
platform, especially as to tho position
taken on tho questions of tho day.
Tho platform as read by Chairman
Shlvoly of tho committee on resolu
tions Is in part as follows:
"Wo, tho delegates of tho demo
cratic party of tho stato of Indiana,
in convention assembled, do hereby
adopt tho following declaration of
principles and appeal to our fellow
citizens wno agree witn these prin
ciples to co-operate with us in the
coming campaign.
"Wo denounce tho republican party
for its surrender to and alliance with
tho trusts, and wo favor such legisla
tion as will suppress and destroy all
trusts or combinations to control the
production and tho price of commo
dities. "We denounce the Dlngloy tariff law
as tho breeder of trusts and demand
that tho tariff duties shall be levied
for the purposes of revenue only and
limited by tho needs of the govern
ment honestly and economically ad
ministered. "Wo condomn the republican party
for refusing to give the interstate
commerce commission power to en
force its decisions against discrimina
tions In railroad rates, which discrlm
nations'havo been a potent cause in
the creation and maintenance of trusts
and we demand that the commission
be given power to sunnresa thin nvii .
Continuing, the nlatform favors th
restoration and expansion of our mer-
inant marine and to this end demands
the reformation of our navigation and
tariff laws; denounces the ship sub
sidy bill "recqntly passed by the
Unltod States sonate, with the assist
ance of senators from Indiana, as an
Iniquitous appropriation of public
funds for private purposes, and a
wasteful, illogical and useless attempt
to ovorcomo by subsidy the obstruc
tions raised by republican legislation
to the growth and development of
Amorican commerce on tho seas;" op
poses tho Fowler bank bill, which pro
poses bank concentration, and the
formation of a great banking trust;
recognizes as an economic fact tho
Incrcaso of standard money arising
from tho vast increased production
from our own and foreign mines as a
demonstration of tho truth of tho
quantltivo theory of money; con
demns and donounces tho Philippine
policy of tho prosent administration.
"It has embroiled tho republic in an
unnecessary war, sacrificed tho lives
of many of its noblest sons and placed
tho United States, previously known
and applauded throughout tho world
as the champion of freedom, in the
false and un-American position of
crushing with military force the ef
forts of our former allies to achieve
liberty and self-governmont. The
Filipinos cannot become citizens
wlthoat endangering our civilization;
they cannot be subjects without Im
periling our form of government, and
as wo are not willing to surrender
our civilization, to convert tho re
public into an empire, wo favor an
immediato declaration of the nation's
purposo to assist tho Filipinos to es
tablish for themselves an indepen
dent government, protecting them
from outside interference ana securing
to this country Buch commercial and
naval rights and advantages as would
bo just and fully and fairly protect
Amorican interests.
"Wo hold in reverence tho valor.
patriotism and services of tho soldiers
and sailors of tho ropublic."
Tho platform further congratulates
the republic of Cuba upon its enter
ing into tho family of nations and de
plores the cruel and wanton destruc
tion of the republic of South Africa;
favors tho construction and control of
an isthmian canal; favors the election
of United States senators by popular
vote; favors freedom of xlobato in the
legislative bodies of the state and na
tion; deplores the death of President
McKinloy; denounces anarchy in all
its forms and declares that it should
not bo permitted to find an abiding
place in this country: indorses the
I course of the democratic representa
tives in congress in standinc for eco
nomy in public expenditures, for just
principles of government and for the
doctrines of the democratic party.
Tho platform ends by condemning
tho governor of Indiana "for his vio
lation of tho constitution and laws of
tho United States and the stato of Ind
iana in his refusal to honor the requi
sition of the governor of Kentucky
upon regularly returned indictments
for murder against fugitives from Jus
tice." A resolution was adopted recom
mending Thomas Taggert for chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee. Books Received.
