PLATFORM OF INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
It Reaffirms the Chicago Platform and Instructs Delegates to for Bryan.
Vote
We, the Democrats of Indiana, in convention assembled, reaffirm our allegiance to the ortnclplea of liberty and Justice which the Democratic party has advocated from the time of Jefferson. We reaffirm and pledge our allegiance to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and acknowledge our debt of gratitude to Thomas Jefferson, the author of that charter of human right*. We reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the constitution of th* United States, and declare our veneration for the wise and far-sighted patriots who Instituted its beneficent provisions, not only for themselves, but for the welfare of the nation for all time. We reaffirm and pledge our allegiance to the principles of the Chicago platform of 1896, and commend its distinguished exponent, William Jennings Bryan, to the people of the United States as an able statesman, a sincere patriot and an honest man, who can safely be trusted to stand at all times for the people and against their foes at home and abroad.
Instructs for Bryan.
And we instruct the delegates selected W this convention to cast their votes for. him at the Democratic national convention to be held at Kansas

damental principles of their Government to their original force.
It Is of vital Importance at this time tbaMhe people should restore the fun-
We are already tar advanced In the policy at the people at home, and on liberty
of arbitrary rule, which has
caused an encroachment on the rights of
abroad, and a subversion of popular government everywhere. It is the history of tfle human race that every nation which has sought to extend its power by destroying the liberty of others, has, in the end. destroyed the liberty of Us own people. No people can exist part free and part slave, part cltlren and part subject, part republic and pert empire.
Colonial Dominion.
We submit the corrupting influence of colonial dominion has already brought disgrace upon the nation; that usurped and dictatorial power has already reached the danger line. The constitution and the plighted faith of the republic has been violated in 'Porto Rican legislation, for the purpose of asserting power to rule without regard to law, duty, or right principle. Independence Is withheld from the Cubans in defiance of law and national promises. Slavery is recognised and protected In Sulu. and involuntary servi-
tude in Hawaii, In violation of the constitution.
We condemn the extravagance of the present administration, the violation of the civil service, the fraudulent army contracts, the payment of double salaries ot military officers, the spoliation of the people of Cuba, and the favor and protection shown partisans, speculators and corrupt officials In their deal-
ings with the Government.
W*
Ve demand an honest and economical administration of national affairs, the repeal of the stamp tax, and such constitutional amendments as will enable Congress to levy a graduated Income tax and provide for the election of
United States Senators by & direct vote of the people.
Militarism.
We are opposed to a la
Against
large standing army. Military rule should find no
place under a republic, and we condemn it, whether used to administer gov-
ernment in Cuba or to crush liberty In the Philippines.
Domestic order Is beet conserved by tha civil authorities, and In time of war the safety and honor ot the republic can be intrusted to Its volunteer. We extend our sympathies to the people of the Tr&nsvaaJ and the Orange Free State to their heroic effort to maintain their liberty and Independence. Wa demand the strict enforcement of tha Monroe doctrine, and the construction of tha Nicaraguan canal, and we denounce the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as an abject surrender at English dictation of the right of this repub-
lic to fortify and In time of war to control the Nicaraguan canal.
We call attention to the
State Affairs. reform legislation
, the m
which the
„ _ _ Democratic party has given the people of this State, the school book law, the tax laws, the Australian ballot, the fee and salary reform, and the many statutes for
the protection of labor.
The Republican party la now hypocritically claiming credit for the reduction to our State debt, made possible by the Democratic tax law, the en-
actment of which it opposed
It has mutilated the Australian ballot and repealed the staute making the bribery of voters a penal offense. In four years of absolute control of Stats affairs It has failed to pass any effectual legislation against monopolies or trust*, but has uniformly defeated all effort to enact anti-trust laws. We pledge ourselves to an economical administration of State affairs, th* non-partisan management of the State institutions, the continuation of th* reform work begun by the Democratic party and the enactment and enforce-
ment of State legislation against trusts.
Trust*.
We call attention to the extraordinary concentration of wealth and th* alarming growth of monopoly during this administration; the arbitrary regulation of markets; the Increased cost of living; the loss of industrial Independence: the despotic power of employment and discharge of American labor, now concentrating to a few hands; the activity of these monopolies In politic*; their increasing influence In the enactment and enforcement of laws, aad the unconcern or real favors with which these things are regarded by the Republican leaders. Relief can not be expected so long as the friends of trusts remain In office. The Democratic party, free from their Influence, and not embarrassed by their favors, pledges Its representatives to office to the positive enactment and enforcement of anti-trust legislationWe are opposed to a protective tariff, and condemn the Dtogley law as the culminating atrocity of the protective policy. It is unjustifiable In principle, and pernicious In practice, and has contributed to the development and fostering of trusts, which have been maintained under that law at their highest point. The menace of monopoly at this time is most pronounced, and no sincere effort has been made by the Republican party, now to foil control of the Government, to strike a blow at the trust outrage. We therefore demand the removal of all tariff from articles mad* or controlled by a trust and that no tariff be levied for other purposes than
revenue.
Soldiers and Pension*.
acknowledgment to the soldiers and Union, the Mexican war, the war with
We renew our thank* and grateful sailors who fought to the war for the
Spain and to the Philippines.
We protest against the policy of tha Republican administration, which has in many Instances needlessly embarrassed the adjustment and denied the consideration of claims for pensions on account of disabilities, wounds and death incurred to the military and naval service, and demand an Immediate and just adjudication of such claims now so tong postponed. And we concur to the criticism of the prebent administration of th* pension department. W* therefore call on all men who tov* thetr country and Its Institutions. who hold popular government bettor than abaotut*
rule. who realise that eelf-government
by cons teat adherence to
but of freedom and right, and that this republic should be a guarantee of equality and equity nt home, and of honor and Justice abroad, to unite with ns to the vindication of thee* principles.

heads that delegation. His colleagues ar* Richard Crokar, Edward Murphy. Jr., former United States Senator, and Augustus Van Wyck. former candidate
for Governor of New York.
The most sensational seen# of the day came when the reading clerk reached the name of Augustus Van Wyck. His voice and th* feeble applause of the Brooklyn and Tammany members was smothered In a hiss that filled th* great
Academy of Music.
Mixed In th* human torrent of hissing scorn war# groans, cat calls and cries of 'Teel Ice! Ice!" "How'd you like to be the iceman?” "Put him on ice!” Only tha hurried forcing of tha vote by mean* of th* previous question prevented a fight on Mr. Van Wyck, and in addition it took th* soothing of e band of music to
stop the dlecord.
The fight of the convention was a fight behind the closed doors of the room in which the committee on resolutions deliberated. Here th* Hill and ultra-ellver men struggled until almost sunset for supremacy, the latter finally capitulating to the former Governor and Mr. HIU conceding to the silver men Instructions for Bryan. When the committee on resolutions reported back to the convention every on* expected a majority and minority report and a fight to a finish on the floor of th* convention. Twenty minute* later th* platform had been adopted without a protest the gathering had adjourned and the ball waa empty.
The Platform.
Mr. Hill regard* his platform as a model one, and hope* to have it used by the Kansas City convention. It denounces most, bitterly troet# and imperialism, making those the two great issues of the campaign. Th* platform la. in Part as follows: "W* assert our opposition to the contlnuance of the war taxes in times of
