OROVER CLEVELAND.

Upon taking the chair, Mr. Owen delivered a brief speech. At the close of Mr. Owens’s speech, upon motion of delegate White, of Caliloniia, the roll was called for the constitution of the committee on credentials, on rules and order of business, on permanent orgruization and on resolutions, each State to name ono member of each committee. All resolutions and communications to the convention wore ordered referred to the resolutions committee. A resolution was offered and cnthuslas tically cheered, expressing the deep sympathy of the Convention lor Hon James Li. Blaine lu the affliction which had be fallen him in the death of his son. Wednesday’s proceedings. The convention reassembled at 11:30 a. m., Wednesday. X’rayer was offered by Rev. A, N. IIervy, of Chicago. While waiting for committees to reporta brief speech ..was made by Senator Palmer, of Illinois. The reports of the committees on credentials and permanent organization were then made. Hon. W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, was conducted to the platform and introduced as permanent chairman. Ho dwelt particularly upon the subject of tariff, taxation and reciprocity. In the course of his remarks he said: For every self-governing people there can be no more momentous question than the question of taxation, It is the qnes tiou, as Mr. Burke truly said, around which all the great battles of freedom have been fought. It is the question out of which grow all the issues of government. Until wesettio this question wisely, permanently, justly, we build ail other reforms on a foundation of sand. We and the great party we represent are to-day for tariff reform because it is the onlygateway to genuine Democratic government. The distinguished leader who presided over the Republican convention boasted that he does not know what tariff reform is. Whoever said that lie did, let us hope, with that charity that enduroth all things and beliovelh all things, that ho is truly as ignorant as he believes himself to be. Unfortunately, the people are not so ignorant of the meaning of protection—at least of the protection which is dealt out to them in the bill that bears bis name. They see that meaning, “writ large” to-day in a prostrated agriculture, In a shackled com merco, in the stricken industries, in the

compulsory idleness of labor, in law made wealth In the discontent of the workingmen and the despair of the farmer. They know by hard experience that protection as a system of taxation Is but the old crafty scheme by which the rich comnel the poor to pay the expenses of the Government. They know by hard experience that protection as a system of tribute is but the old, crafty scheme by which the power of taxation of the people is made the private property of a few of the people. Tariff reform means to readjust this system of taxation and to purge away this system of tribute. It means that we have not reached the goal of perfect free so long as any citizen is forced by law to pay tribute to any other citizen, and until our taxes are proportioned to tho ability and duty of that tax payor rather than to his ignorance, his weakness and his patience. Governor McKinley further charges that the Democratic party believesln taxing ourselves. 1 am afraid, gentlemen,we must admit this charge. What right or excuse have we for taxing anybody else? With a continent for a country, with freedom and intelligence as the instruments for its development, we stand disgraced in the eyes of mankind, if we can not, and if we do not, support onr own Government. Wo can throw that support on other people only by beggary or by force. If wo use the one we are a pauper Nation; if we use the other we are a pirate Nation. Tho Democratic party does not intend that we should be either. No more does it intend that they shall falsely call it taxing other people to transfer our taxes from tho possessions of those who own the properly of tho country to the bellies and backs of those who do the work of the country. It believes that frugality is the essential virtue of free government. It believes that taxes should be limited to the public needs and be levied bv the plain -nfjir onomy. Bnt, gentle■d with a new cry in Republican party, ;y, now stands for city. Ho, was for >, framed his bill . permitted his'bcn-

eflciarles to frame it for him, and firmly resisted all efforts of the statesman from Maine to annex reciprocity to it. No wonder that he favors the reciprocity added by the Senate. Yon may explore the pages of burlesque literature for anything more supremely ludicrous than the so-callod reciprocity of the McKinley bill. It 1s not reciprocity ail. It is retaliation, and, worst of all, retaliation on our own peoyle. It punishes American citizens for the nesesslties or the follies of other people. It says to a few small countries south of it. “if you are forced by your, necessities, or led by your follies to make broad higher and scarcer to your people, we will make shoes and sugar higher and scarcer to our people.” And now we are told that reciprocity is to bo their battle cry. Already we are regaled with pictures of Benjamin Harrison clad in armor and going forth to battle for reciprocity on a plumed steed. Simple Simon fishing fora whale in his mother’s rain barrel and in great triumph capturing an occasional wiggle-waggle is the only true, realistic picture of the reciprocity of the McKinley bill. Wo are for the protection that protects and for the reciprocity that reciprocates. We are In favor of protecting every man in the enjoyment of the fruit of his labor, diminished only by his proper contribution to the support of the Government, and wo are for that real reciprocity, not through dickering diplomacy and presidential proclamations, but by laws of Congress, that removes all unnecessary obstacles between the American producer and the markets he is obliged to seek for his products.” His remarks were vociferously cheered at several points and at their close were greeted with groat applause. The report of the commute* on rules was adopted. Delegate Phelp* of Mis sourl, then presented, in behalf of the mineis of Missouri, a gave! of zinc, a protest against the tariff on that metal. As shining hammer was held aloft by the chairman a great shout went up and a hearty clapping of hands. Brief remarks were made by ex-Gov. Campbell and a recess till 5 p. rn was taken. The convention reassembled at 5:lf>, but did not got down to business until G:25, when the platform was reported. Mr. VI)as began to road the platform. The mention of Cleveland’s name in the preamble called out tiie enthusiasm of the delegates. The Syracuse inou led the cheering as the Cleveland delegates, and the Cleveland men in the galleries sprang to their feet, waving hats, handkerchiefs and fans. The noise grew and grew until a Michigan delegate rushed into the hall, . holding aloft the white and gold banner of his State, with a picture of Cleveland pinned across its face. Don M. Dickinson climbed on a chair, and all the Michigan men followed him, while delegates and spectators shrieked and yelled. Then down the aisle, came Iowa's banner-bearer holding aloft the picture of Boies. The cheering was renewed. It rose and foil In quivering, ear-splitting yells. Don Dickinson got down from ills chair, and took (.lie Michigan banner in his hands. Climbing back on his chair. he raised it aloft, and the cheering swelled again. Michigan rallied around the banner. Two or three delegates took it from Dickinson's hand, and swung it defiantly in the face of New York’s “73.” Then they passed it on to the Minnesota men. and it was twenty minutes before Vilas could resume. When the silver plank was reached there was a stronger outbreak of approval than at any portion of the platform. The familiar phrase, "public office is a public trust.” which followed, was promptly recognized, and broughtout another outburst for Cleveland, The civil service plank called out more Biases than cheers. The galleries applauded the condemnation of the Republican officeholders convention. Mr. Neal, of Ohio, upon the conclusion of the majority report, took the floor and presented a minority report. The debate and contest which followed was intensely warm and long continued. A roll of the Slates was cal led and the minority report (as given in the platform beneath) was adopted by ayes >fi4, pays 342. The platforms differed in dial the majority report juggled with the tariff question. Next came the second attack on the platform—the opposition to the silver plank. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, said there was a point of difference in the committee on resolutions. It related to the coinage plank and was embraced in the use of one single word and the substitute that some of the members from the South and West offered consisted of the word “free” before coinage, c The proposed amendment to the platform was lost. The platform as amended was thou adopted.

THE PLATFORM. Section 1. The representatives of the Democratic party of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do reaffirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson and exemplified by a long and illustrious line of his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland: wo believe the public welfare demands that these principles bo applied to the conduct of the federal Government through the accession to power of the party that advocates them; and we solemnly declare that the need of a return to these fundamental principles of a free popular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to centralize all power at the federal capital has become a menace of the reserved rights of the States that strikes at the very roots of our government under the constitution as framed by the fathers of the Republic. Sec. 2. Wc warn the people of our common country, jealous for the preservation of their free institutions, that the policy of federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely lens momentous than Avould result from a revolution practically establishing monarchy on the ruins of the Republic. It strikes at the North as well as the South, and injures the colored citizen even more than the white: it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place armed with federal power, returning boards appointed and controlled by a federal authority, the outrage of the electional rights of the peop 4 e in the several States; the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power, and the reviving of race antagonism, now happily abated, of the utmost peril to the safety and'happiness of all: a measure delib eratcly and justly described by a leading Republican Senator as “the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate.” Such policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance of a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office-holders, and the party first entrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist oppression, which is inherent in all self-governing communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls; but in contempt of that verdict the Republican party has defiantly declared in its last authoritative utterance that its success in the coming elections will mean the enactment of the force hill and the usurpation of despotic control over elections in all the States. Believing that the preservation of republican government in the United States is dependent on the defeat of the policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the support of all citizens who desire to see the Constitution maintained in its integrity, with the laws pursuant thereto which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled prosperity; and we pledge the Demor ratio party, if it be entrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the force bill, but also to relentless opposition to the Republican noliev of profligate expenditure, which, In the

short space of two years, has squandered on enormous surplus and emptied an overflowing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxation upon the already overtaxed labor of the connSee. 3. We reiterate the oft-repented doctrines of the Democratic party that the necessity of the government is the only excuse for taxation, and whenever a tax Is unnecessary It Is unjustifiable! that when custom house taxation Is levied upon articles of any kind produced In this country the difference between cost of labor here and labor abroad, where such a difference exists, fully measures any possible benefits to labor, and the enormous additional Impositions of the existing tariff fall with crushing force upon our farmers and workingmen and for the mere advantage of the few whom it enriches, exacting, from labor a grossly unjust share of the expenses of the government; and we demand such revision of the tariff laws as will remove their iniquitous inequalities, lighten their oppressions and put them on a constitutional and equitable basis. But In making a reduction In taxes It Is not intended to injure any domestic Industries, but rather to promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this government taxes collected at the custom house have been the chief source of federal revenue. Such they must continue to be. Moreover, many Industries have come to rely upon legislation for successful continuance, so that any change of law must bo at every stop regardful of the labor and capital thus involved. The process of reform must be subjected In the execution to this plain dictate of justice. We denounce the McKinley tariff law, enacted by the Fifty first Congress, as the culminating atrocity of class legislation: we indorse the efforts made by the Democrats of the present Congress to modify its most oppressive features In the direction of free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter Into general consumntion; and we promise Its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people in intrusting power to the Democratic party. Since the McKinley tariff went Into operation there have been ten reductions of the wages of laboring men to one increase. We deny that there has been any Increase of prosperity to the country since that tariff went into operation, and we point to the dullness and distress, with wage reductions and strikes in the Iron trade, as the best possible evidence that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We denounce Republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the great American people for the benefit of the lew. Wo declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal Government has no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government honestly and economically administered.

Sec. 4. Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the countries participating is a time-honored doctrine of the Democratic faith, but we denounce the sham reciprocity which juggles with the people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and freer exchange by pretending to establish closer trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural products with other countries that are also agricultural while erecting a custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the richest countries of the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor commodities which are necessaries and comforts of life among our own people. Sec. 6. We recognize in the trusts and combinations, which are def igned to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product of capital and labor, the natural consequence of tbs prohibitive taxes which prevent the free competition which is the life of honest trade. But we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and wo demand the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary. 6. The Rspublican party, while professinga policy of reserving the public land for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people’s heritage till now a few railroads' and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area than all our farms between the two seas. The last Democratic administration reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly 100,000.000 acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as home steads for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people. Sec. 7. We denounce the Republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1300 as a cowardly makeshift fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious for its spa".dy repeal. We held to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic ana unchangeable value or be adjusted through Internai-ional agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two .met* als, and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the markets and in the payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We Insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency. Sec. 8. Wo recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues be repealed. Sec. 9. Public office Is a public trust. We reaffirm the declaration of the Democratic National Convention of 1876 for the reform of the civil service and we call for the honest enforcement of all laws regulating the same. The nomination of a President, as in the recent Republican Convention, by delegations composed largely of his appointees, holding office at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon free popular institutions and a startling illustration of the methods by which a President may gratify his ambition. W'e denounce a policy under which federal office holders usurp control of party conventions in the States, and we pledge the Democratic party to the reform of these and all other abuses which threaten individual liberty and local self-government. Sec. 10. The Democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliances it has aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other nations, and especially with our neighbors on the American continent, whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and w*e view with alarm the tendency to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the maintenance of a navy strong enough for all purposes of national defense and to properly maintain the honor and dignity of the country abroad.

Sec. 11. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every laud-ex-iles for conscience’ sake—and in the spirit of the founders of our government, we condemn the oppressions practiced by the Russian government .upon its Lutheran and Jewish sub jects, and we call upon our national government in the interest of justice and humanity, by all proper means to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions In the dominions of the Czar, and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling for •home rule and the great cause of self-govern-ment in Ireland. Sec. 18. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as the dumping ground for the known criminals and professional paupers of Europe, and we demandjtne rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese immigration or the importation of foreign workmen under contract to degrade American labor and lessen Its wages, but we condemn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lands. Sec. 13. This convention hereby renews its expression of appreciation of the patriotism of J the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preservation. We favor just and liberal \ pensions for all disabled Union soldiers, their, widows and dependents: but we demand that the work of the pension office shall be done industriously, impartially and honestly. We denounce the present administration of that office as incompetent, corrupt and dishonest. Sec. 14. The federal Government should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the Republic, so as to secure for tho interior States easy and cheap transportation to the tide water. When any ‘

water way of the Republic is of sufficient parlance to demand the aid of theQoverur that such aid should be extended a def plan of continuous work until permanent provemcntis secured. Sec. 15. For the purposes of National deff and the promotion of commerce between] States we recognize the early constructio the Nicaraugua canal and its protection agaL foreign control as of great importance to the United States. Bee. 16. Recognizing the World* Columbian Exposition a* a National undertaking of vast importance in which tbegenernl govo ument has Invited the cooperation of all the powers of the world, and appr«cialiuif!lhoacceptance by many of Such flowers of th* invitation extended and tho broadest iberal efforts being mads by them to contrlbateto the grandeur of the undertaking, we arc of ths opinionfthat Congress should make such necessary financial provision as shall be required for tho maintenance of tho National honor and pubiic Sec’ 17. Popular education being the only safe basis of popular suffrage wo recommend to tho «evoral States most liberal appropriations for the public schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government, and they have always received the fostering care of the Democratic party, w hich favors everv means of increasing intelligence. Freedom of education being an essential of civil and religious liberty as well as a uecessi y for the development of intelligence. must not he interfered with under any pretext whatever. We are opposed to state interference with parental rights and righto of conscience in the education of children, as an infringement of the fundamental Democratic doctrine that the largest individual liberty consistent with the rights of others insures tho biggest type of American citizenship and the best government. Sec. W. We approve the action of tho House of Representatives in paveiug bilIs for admission into the Union as Stab** of tho territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the admission of all tho territories having the necessary population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and vhim they remain territorlee we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory. together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should bo bona tide residents of tho territory or district in which their duties are to bo performed. The Democratic party believes In honse rule end the control of their own affairs by tmo people of the vicinage. . ■ . Sec. 19. We favor legislation by Congress and StJte legislation to protect the lives and limbs of railway employes afad those of other hazardous transportation companies, and denounce the inactivity of the Republican party, and particularly Republican Senate, for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and protective to this class of wage workers. Sec. 20. We are in favor of the enactment by the States of lawe for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolishing contract convict labor, and for prohibiting tho employment i« manufactories of children under fifteen years of ace. Sec. 21. Wear© opposed to all sumptuary laws and interference'with tho individual rights of tke citizen. . , Sec. 22. Upon this statement of principle and policies the Democratic party atiks the intelligent judgment of tho American people. It askf. a ehangs of administration and a change of party, in order that there may bo a change of sysetem and a change of methods-, thus securin f tho mainteuanCfe unimpaired ot the institutions tinker which the republic has grown great and powerful. Nominations were then in ordor. Loon Abbott, for New Jersey, and through the courtesy of Arkansas, presented the name of Grover Cleveland. A demonstration lasting many minutes followed. VVlien order had been restored. W. C. DeWitt, of Brooklyn, placed David B. Hill in nomination, and this was followed by a demonstration by the Hillites lasting several minutes. J. F. Dun comb presented the name of Horace Boies, and this was also received with ranch noise, to which tho Now York delegation were conspicuous contributors. Several speeches seconding ths respective nominations were also made. A ballot was then taken, and the scene that followed its announcement beggars description.
