"We, tho democrats of Gage county,
in convention assembled, reaffirm our
faith in the principles of the demo
cratic party as lounded by Jefferson,
perpetuated by Jackson and advo
cated and maintained by Bryan. Be
lieving that all governments derive
their just powers from tho consent of
the governed, wo denounce the policy
of the republican party, which seeks
to govern alien people thousands of
miles from our shores without their
consent, as un-American and undemo
cratic. "Wo adhere to the ancient doctrine
of the democratic party that govern
ments have no right to levy taxes on
one hand and bestow unjust favors on
the other. Therefore, wo oppose the
republican system of building up trust
combinations by means of a protec
tive tariff to the detriment ot the
consumer and laborer by increasing
tho cost of the necessaries of life.
"We believe tnat gold and silver i3
tho money of tho constitution; that it
is a government function to coin and
regulate the value thereof, artd we de
mand that all money, whether gold or
silver or paper, be issued by the gov
ernment witnout the intervention of
banking corporations and shall be a
full legal tender for debts, pvblic and
private.
"We hereby renew our allegiance to
the principles of democracy so clearly
sot forth in the national democratic
platforms adopted at Chicago and
Kansas City, and instruct our dele
gates to tho state convention to vote
as a unit for Hon. W. J. Bryan for
delegate-at-large to. our national con
