DR. tSAUX SPECTACLE CO.. f. LnuJm, Mo. S-i WANT AGEUTS AL9Q--HX
The democratic state convention
for New Yorjk in session at Buffalo,
nominated the following ticket;
Governor W..R. Hearst.
Lieutenant governor Lewis S.
Chanler. f
Secretary of state John S. Whalen.
Comptroller Martin H. Glynn.
Treasurer Julius Houser.
Surveyor F. W. Keene.
Three of these, Messrs. Hearst,
Chanler and Whalen, were nominees
of the independence league which met
prior to the democratic convention.
The substance of the platform adopt
ed by the convention may be stated as
follows:
"At this time, when the authority, of
democracy is invoked to defend plund
er of the masses by a few rich men,
through partial laws on one hand,
and, on the other, to justify many ex
travagant and revolutionary proposals
which if adopted must inevitably pro
duce worse disasters than the abuses
they seek to cure; we deem It emin
ently fitting to declare that the whole
of. democratic" principles is embraced
in the injunction laid on the first
man that in the sweat of their .brows
bread. We affirm it to be as much -the
supreme duty, of government to pre
vent any man from taking by violence,
fraudulent device, or legislative favor
one dollar or its equivalent pro
duced by the labor of another -marl, as
it is to protect every man in the en
joyment of all the property, however
extensive, produced by his own labor.
W, .therefore denounce republican
high protection, which enables a few
iu inuuuw Vuo wjuuie uquy or inein
fellow citizens, by charging -extoVfton
ate prices for the necessaries ' of life
and the essentials of industry.
, "Every proposal that a municipality
assume operation of all public utilities
and reduce rates to persons using
them, regardless of what the service
may actually cost, Is on attempt to
force some men to bear the expenses
of others; because vhere the outlay
for operation exceedsearnings the de
ficit must be made -up by taxation,
and this would he socialistic, and
therefore hostile to justice and sub
versive of democratic government. It
is the duty of government, therefore,
to ascertain the actual cost, of operat
ing all public service corporations and
to fix from time to time reasonable
rates for the service they perform.
"We demand the passage of such
legislation" as will deal effectively with
the whole subject of life insurance and
encourage, this form of economy by
making Its fruits absolutely secure.
We are resolved, above all, that every
rogue who has aided in planning this
plunder, who has connived, at it or
shared in its profits, shall be pursued
by every punitive w.eap'ori of the law,
wielded by honest, fearless, loyal pub
lic prosecutors. .,
'We ask the federal government to
exercise its influence o bring about
speedy, cessation of .the, atrocities now
being committed against the Jews In
Russia. t
'In common with the., democrats- of
all, the- states and expressing., the, sen
timent of the high-minded pitizenship"
of the republic without party," we view
with pride anji. satisfaction the hospi
tality and acclaim which have' been
accorded, at home and abroad, to that
great uemocrauc leader and typical
American, William Jennings Bryan, to
whom the democrats of New York ex
tend most cordial and sincere felicita
tions. "Finally, wo record our solemn be
lief that corruption in the public ser
vice or in corporate -management can
not be eradicated while schemes of
plunder are implanted in the very
body of the law itself. Where the law
not only permits, but empowers great
trusts to exact for their products from
the people of this country prices vast
ly exceeding those asked in foreign
countries, and this power to plunder
