There is only one turn medicine and that

Tho convention ro-afscnibled at 2:30
to hear tho reports of tho committees
on nominations and platform but
theso committees not being roady the
time was occupied in addresses by Dr.
II. A Bourland and Dr. Caiskoy which
were interesting and encouraging.
Tbo comnutteo on platform finally
announced its readiness to report and
did so as follows:
We tho Prohibition party of Texas
in convention assembled gratefully ao
knowledging Almighty God as the
rightful ruler of all nations humbly
invoking his bleBaings upon our ef-
forts for the publio good and reaffirm-
ing our allogianco tu the Nation-il
Prohibition prty do present the fol-
lowing declaration of principles:
1. Tho liquor traffio is the chief
souroo of crime poverty degradation
and political corruption and should
not bo legalized and protected undor
any iorm of license but absolutolv
prohibited by law and as laws are
made only through a politital party
controlling tho government there-
fore legal prohibition can bo secured
only through political party aotion
and we plodgo ourselves to such ac-
tion. 2. Sinoo tho Dcmooratio and Re-
publican partios both favor licenso
and oppose prohibition it follows that
the only hope of destroying tho liquor
traffio lies in the success of the prohi-
bition paity.
3. Tde responsibility of the con-
tinuance of tho liquor traffio rests
vith thoso who remain in the old
parties and bv their votes and influ-
ence sustain tnat evil. All parties
which license the drink evil or legis-
lators who enact licence laws and all
citizens who vote for particB that
iavor litense thereby become partak-
ers in the crime of drunkard making
and share tho guilt of the man who
aotually sells tho liquor.
4th. Wo are opposed to tariff
either for revenue or pr Jtection and
favor absolute freo trade believing
that thg revenue needodfor tho sup-
port of the government should be
raisod by means of a graduated in-
come tax.
5. Money should be of gold silver
and paper all full legal tender ade-
quate in volume to meet tho demands
of business issued directly to the peo-
ple by tho government without the in-
tervention of individuals or privote
corporrtions.
G. Railroads telegraph lines and
all other means of transportation and
communication which owo their ex-
istence to grants of power Irom tho
state should be controlled by tho state
and no higher charges allowed than
may be nccessaty to afford a reasona-
ble profit on capital aotually invested.
7. The privileges of suffrage sh uld
bo doterminod solely by standards of
character and intelligence and no for-
eigner should bo allowed to vote who
has not resided in tho Unitod States
over ten years
8. Tho incroaso of poverty tho
centralization'of wealth tho oppression
of tho poor the reduction of wages
the depression of our agricultural and
other industries and tho prevalence of
"hard times" result mainly from liquor
traffic class iegislationunjuet taxation
despotic combinations dishonest
speculation a falso system oi financetr-
ing and unrestricted immigration and
the Prohibition party pledges itself to
remedy all theeo evils by suitable
legislation if eleoted to power.
0. Immigration laws prohibiting tho
introduction into this country of pau-
pers and criminals should be rigidly
enforced.
10. Speculation in maigins tho
"cornering" of money grain and other
produots and the formation of trnsts
and combinations for tho arbitrary ad-
vancement of prices should bo pro-
hibited. 11. Tho president vico-prosidont
and senators of tho United States
should bo olected by direot vote of tho
people.
12. All offioial fees should be paid
into tho publio treasuries and all
officials stato county and municipal
paid reasonable salaries.
13. Non-resident aliens and foreign
corporations should not bo allowed to
acquiro land in this stato except by
foreolosuro of mortgage or other lien
and in suoh case thoy shall bo allowed
ten years in whioh to dispose of the
same and we favor the
limitation of oorporato own-
ership of land. A 1 unearned
grants of land to railroad companies
and other corporations should bo re-
claimed and no further portion of tho
public domain should be thus granted.
1-1. Wo opposo the system of
leasing the Btate conviots and demand
that tho ttato hold for the family of
convict or for himself on his releaso
tho proceeds of his labor over the cost
of his maintenance.
Tho above platform was unanimous-
ly adopted.

ported ns follows:
For govornor Dr. J. B. Cranfill.
For lieutenant govcrnorW.B. Will-
iams. For treasurer II. G. Damon

Dr. J. B. Cranfill when the nomi-
nations were read arose and declined
the nomination on account of busi-
ness and Btatod that ho thought
wo had better timber
for governor than cither Clark or
Hogg. Ho suggested the nanio of
Judge Prondergast to head the ticket
and moved that the committee on
nominations be instructed to consider
tho nomination for govornor further
and report at tho night session.
Judge ProndergaBt begged that his
name bo not used stating that ho was
an older man than most people
thought him to bo and while he
thought Jie would mako abetter gov-
ernor than Clark waB not a oandidate
for any office. The nominations re-
