We are opposed to the retirement of the greenbacks, and demand that the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of issuing interest bearing bonds for the purchase of gold, shall recognize silver as the money of redemption, and exercise the right to redeem greenbacks, Treasury bonds and all other coin obligations in silver where silver is more convenient.

We demand that the courts alone shall punish crime. We oppose convict labor when brought into competition with the labor of honest freemen in such a manner as to lessen the demand for such labor or so as to curtail its reward. The constitution of the State should be so amended as to permit, under safe restrictions, cities and incorporated towns to borrow money for the exclusive purpose of improving streets, securing sewers, water, light and such like necessities. We favor the determination of all questions that may arise between employers and employes by a system of impartial arbitration to be provided by law and to be compulsory.

May 15.-The Republican party of the State of California, by its representatives, pledges itself anew to those principles of domestic and foreign policy which, under a wise administration of public affairs, have brought us prosperity Republican. at home and honor abroad. We declare our continued adherence to the policy by which the Republican party has proved itself, in fact as in theory, the firend of labor, and under which our manufactures not only control the home market, but are taking first rank in foreign markets throughout the world. We are in favor of the construction of the Nicaragua Canal under Government control and ownership. We fully appreciate the menace to this country and especially to the Pacific Coast from the continually increasing influx of Asiatic labor and we call upon Congress by appropriate legislation to protect us from this impending danger. We heartily commend the patriotism and valor of our soldiers and sailors who have upheld the honor of our flag and country and emulated the glorious example of the men who preserved the integrity of the Union and won the lasting love and admiration of a grateful people. We heartily indorse the administration of President McKinley, as exemplifying the highest type of statesmanship, and justifying in every particular the confidence reposed in him by the American people. We declare ourselves in favor of the continuance of the policy of the present Administration as essential to the public welfare, and commend our President as meriting a renomination and triumphant re-election, and hereby instruct our delegates to the National Convention to give him their hearty support. We indorse the fearless and economical administration of State affairs by Governor Henry T. Gage, and express our approval of the faithful manner in which he has discharged the duties of his trust.

September 6.-The Philadelphia platform was indorsed, loyal support was pledged to McKinley and Roosevelt, Governor Gage's course was commended, and the Nicaragua Canal project favored. Other planks were: We favor the conservation of all available waters for the reclamation and irrigation of arid lands, and liberal appropriations by Congress for that purpose, supplemented by the co-operation of the States directly interested. Such policy to be initiated by the collaboration of the Federal and State governments in a thorough investigation of our water supply and the best methods of utilizing the same. We indorse the action that has been taken to secure as a permanent possession for the whole people the great forests situated in our mountain ranges, and earnestly recommend that our Senators and Representatives in Congress support by their votes and influence the establishment of National reservations, in order that these forests may be saved from destruction and our water supply preserved. We favor such legislation as will prevent the acquisition of lands chiefly valuable for petroleum, asphaltum and other minerals under the guise of lien land and forest reserve exchange selections, and we request our Senators and Representatives in Congress to use all honorable means to prevent fraud in that way and secure such legislation as will protect the miners of the State from oppression and blackmail. We demand the prevention of the importation of cheap alien labor, the continuance and re-enactment of the present Chinese exclusion laws and ppropriate legislation prohibiting the immigration of Japanese and other contract laborers. We favor the adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the regulation of primary elections and the enactment of such laws as will make it effective and insure fair primaries. We favor appropriate legislation for the permanent improvement of our roads and highways. We fully recognize the importance of the great work that the State University is doing toward the intellectual and industrial development of the State. We recognize also that the demands upon it in both these directions have so outgrown its income as to seriously threaten its usefulness. We therefore pledge our party to an increase of the revenues of the State University through the coming Legislature sufficient to maintain its efficiency. We congratulate our State and its people upon the semicentennial of its admission to the Union, and rejoice that the policy of our Government is making California the gateway and centre of Oriental trade, developing our resources, creating a market for our products and portending for our State a future still more glorious than its golden past.

September 29.-The National ticket and platform were indorsed, and on State matters the platform favored legislation providing for the preservation within National or Stat parks of the redwood forests, and the revival of hydraulic Democratic. mining wherever it can be permitted without injury to other interests.

Other planks were: The growing commerce of our State requires the early completion of the sea wall and Belt Line Railroad on the harbor front of San Francisco and the abolition of all State tolls and a material reduction of all other port charges. We denounce the action of the present Republican National Administration in refusing a right of way to the State for the construction of the Tioga road through the Yosemite National Park. We favor appropriate legislation for the permanent im
