U. W. S. Whcutlcy, DuQuoiti. Wisconsin Democrats. MILWACKI:!:. May 5.—A wild cheer for Grover Cleveland went tip before the democratic state convention of Wisconsin had been in session sixty seconds. It was at the beginning of a speech by the temporary chairman. State Senator Robert Lees, of Alum, opening the convention.

Committees were appointed and a recess taken until ti o'clock.

The Platform.

The roport of the committee on resolutions declares continued allegiance tn democratic principles: that public office should be held as a public trust opposes uifV taxation except for revenue: denounces the action of the last republican congress on the tariff question opposes sumptuary laws OR unjust interference with individual liberty demands sound, honest and stable money, composed of. or based on and. redeemable in gold and silver coin of equal intrinsic value, and opposes the project of uulinnted coinage of silver dollars of less commercial value than gold dollars: denounces republican legislation on the silver question, particularly the Sherman act of 1800 condemns the reckless extravagance of the republican national administration opposes state interference with parental rights and rights of conscience in the education of children: commends the course of the present democratic state government with its splendid record of honest performance of party pledges, in the removal from the statute book of a Hag rant assault upon the rights of conscience, individual liberty, and parental authority, in tho application of the interest on the monej\s of the state to the public use and the successful prosecution of suits to recover to the people the earnings of their money, misappropriated by preceding state treasurers, and the large savings by economy and .wise business methods directs the Wisconsin delegation to the democratic national convention to vote as a unit on all subjects and candidates, and to use all honorable means to nominate (trover Cleveland for president.

Bishop Foster Rends tho Episcopal Address.

POSITION OF THE CHURCH DEFINED.

How Shu Stands on Modern Social Prob. lmuH—GratifyiiiK l'rogre^ Matlc by tho Church During the

Past Four Year*.

AN IJCTEKKSTlXn DOCl'MKNT. OMAHA, Neb., May 5.—Bishop Wnrden presided at the morning session of the Methodist conference and called the gathering to order promptly at o'clock. Kev. Myley, of the New York conference, led the devotional exercises. At

o'clock the episco

pal address was begun by Bishop Foster. Polities und the Church.

Among many other things the bishop said the pulpit should not be converted into a political platform, yet the members of the Methodist church should take an interest in helping to secure wise and just laws. The address described the fact that there was pending legislation in this country looking to the entire exclusion of the Chinese. Thw. was declared to be inhuman. While the church was not prepared to say that the frauchinc should belong only to American born citizens, yet it was maintained that the franchise in this country should belong only to Americanized cit i/ens. In touching upon the great social problems that have irritated the country, the bishop said that the church had no sympathy with the mob or with anarchy, but it muct and would plead for the rights of the toiling millions, and the church should seek to create bar* inony and sympathy between the interests of labor and capital. The address declared that the church was unalterably arrayed against the liquor traffic.

Tlie Only Solution.

The. episcopal address declared that the legal prohibition of the liquor traffic was the only true solution of the great problem. The saloon was the chief eorruptor of morals and polities and must be overthrown. I lie churoh was congratulated upon the fact that there was a growing spirit' Of fellowship, springing up among the varifuis :.'.:'religiotis denominations. The relations existing between the various branches of the Methodist church were very harmonious. The relations existing between the colored brethren and those of the white race in the church were very cordial and satisfactory. Tlie Methodist church had taken a stand against African slavery long before emancipation.

Amurfcincut* und the Press. Upon the subject of popular amusements the address held that while church members should not make hermits of themselves they should refrain from a great deal that worldly people patronize. The church was non-sec-tional and non-political. Kvery man had a right to vote as he pleased. The secular press was regarded by the bishops as one

greatest powers of modern civilization. They deplored the fact that the secular press had sometimes become the means of promoting political corruption and personal greed anil agrnndizcment to the detriment of good morals and the rights of the people.

Four Years' Work.

No schisms, no dissensions had appeared in the ^church during the past four years. Since the last, general conference fully 400,000 members have been added to the church, a greater growth than had ever been know i* in its history. The report then touched on the vote in the annual conference and churches upon the admission of wpinen to the general conference the result was given a« follows: Laity for ugainst 103.SKI ministerial for against 4,045. The report gave an exhaustive review of every branch the church work.
