bad determined that tbo committees of the convention should be namwl by congressional districts, one from each. When tho committees were named a recess was taken till Z:'M o'clock r. m. THE rLATFOHM. The convention reassembled at 4:15 and the temporary organization was made permanent. K. Kllery Anderson, chairman of the committeo on resolutions, sent op to the secretary the platform as prepared and revised by the committee during recess. It calls for a reform in the administration of the federal government, denounces the Bepnblican party for extravagance and other things, including the McKinley law and Pension Office "mismanagement," and concludes as follows: We approve the use of both irold and silver as money, ami we demand that all dollars, whether gold or silver, shall ho equal in value t( each other. In fact as well as hy declaration of law. "We are opposed to the free coinage of silver by the United Mate alone, at the existing rate of sixteen to one, because we believe that free coinage at that ratio will result in the Immediate dl!api'Carance of trold from the business of this country. The use of silver will result iu certain loss to every wage-earner and every savings bank depositor, with impairment of credit and dlsistrou disturbance 01 business of every kind. We demand the reieal of the Sherman nilrer law of Inyo, as au obstruction to international bimetallism, and because it is rapidly brln$-lii this country to silver monometallism, with all of its attending evils. We recognize the necessity of an organization through which the party may direct its energies, but when uob an organization claims to be the party itaeir, instead of it instrument; when it mppresses the voice and misrepresents the detire of the party; when it calls the caucuses at unaccustomed seasons, and upon nnsuthcieut notices; when, regardless of the votes ca&t, it places upon the convention roll, and admits to the convention, only tho.c who, without respect to the voice and wishes of their constituents, will agree in advance to support the scheme and oligarchy it has established; when it gives notices In advance that they who will not airree to be as subservient will not be admitted; when it ceases to be representative, creates discontent, rouses resentments, and imperil the success of the party. In tht emergency it becomes the duty of the oririnal elements of the party to take such notice a will restore to it Just relations between lt. members and their agents. We believe in and demand fair primaries, fair conventions, fair elections, fair returns, and tho faithful observance of the verdict of the ballotbox. The Democrat to party retains unshaken confidence in the ability and Integrity of Grover Cleveland and in his devotion to public duty, lie i the choice of an overwhelming majority of tho Democrat of New York and the country. Many rely with confidence on his ability to carry tho ttate triumphantly in November. Wo believe that by nominating him to lead the party in the approaching contest for the presidency the national convention will carry out the almost unanimous wish of the party and best consult the welrare of the country. We pledge ourselves to support the candidates nominated in Chicago. The delegation chosen by this convention Is Instructed to act as a unit according to the determination of a majority of ' its members. The denouncement of the laid-wlnter convention was greeted with vociferous applanse. The reference to Grover Cleveland as being able to carry New York Mate again moved the convention to its feet, aud to a storm of applanse, while tho utiiroiution that this convention and its constituencies wonld support the nominee at Chicago, whoever he might be, was greeted with a burst of cheers that left no doubt as to the purpose of the convention. At the close of the reading the throng was again upon its feet, and the applause was long and uproarious. CLEVELAND OH NOBODY, At once William Lounsberry, of Kingston, was up on his feet upon the stage to second the resolutions. He said: 40f the favorite 6ons of the different States no one of them scorns now to be urging himself. When they thoughtfully consider the question it comes back to the old maxim, 'the ofllce of l'resident is not to be sought or declined We are not, there fore, troubled with candidates. The otlico ia once more seeking the man the man logical to the situation. In all the States the logie is understood. It ie in some places under a haze, as in South Carolina, or under too strong a lens, as in Kentucky, but it is clear and bright enough so that -we can read the handwriting on the wall. Cleveland is to be nominated by two-thirds or by acclamation. As to the matter of - platform, we have an equally clear course. The triumph of the doctrine of measuring tax by the. need of government in lbCi left tho subject out of dispute until the needs of war Inaugurated protection not as a doctrine, but as a condition. When the war needs were over a revenue tariil' became a condition. It waa demanded by successive Democratio conventions and became woven into our party creed as tho stream wears into the mountain side. It was announced by President Cleveland as soon as the Democrats had a President to announce it. He epoke the party belief in words of lire. Ho welded the broken and tangled threads of individual tariffs and made a solid party with an unbroken line, speaking out to the people the vitalizing hopes of a resurrected Nation. Through temporary defeat he has lived to see the people educated to their own interests, and speaking ont stronger where need was stronger, but strong and sure all over, until to-dav there is no Kepublican State, with the possible exception of Vermont. Cleveland is the Xtominnee or logic, and we only need to Btaud by and see tbat 'troth is mighty and will prevail.' " Fred II. Hinrichs, of Brooklyn, and Hobert McCarthy, of Syracuse, who was State Charity Commissioner under Governor Hill, also spoke. The platform was then adopted. Mr. Pease, of Saratoga. & member of the resolutions committee, then presented this resolution, which was adopted: Kenolved. That tho convention approve, indorse and point with pride to tho administration of Grover Cleveland, aud we recommend him to -the Chit ago convention for nomination, and to the Ienccratie party and to tho patriotic people of the country for election aaln to tho presidency. Judge Sunderland, of Schuyler county, read the list of district delegates und delegates at large chosen by the districts and by the committee on delegates to the Chi" cago convention. The work of the committee was approved, and thus the question of protest or contest had been determined, and tho course of contest, and demand at Chicago for the seventy-two seats of ?ew York had been fixed upon. The delegates at large are IL P. Coudert. of New York; Alex. E. Orr. df Brooklyn; Charles F. Bishop, of ButTalo, and Edward Fitzgerald. ex-Mayor of Troy. The convention adjourned nine die at 5:50 r. M. The convention was Hearing the close and no provision had as yet been made for electors, but ex-becretary of the Treasury Fairchild at this point presented the following resolution: Whereas, The object of this convention is to correct the wtouc done to the Democrats of Now York by the convention held at Albany on the d of February last, in the selection of a delegation to Chicago not representative of their will; and, , Whereaa. V realize that the action of the Electoral Coll- ks clearly registers the will of the party as proponed at the national convention and ex preyed at the polls; now, therefore, better to assure the Democratic party that we have no other wih than that the will of the party hall b fairly ascertained aud registered by the Electoral College, wo hereby nominate as electors for President and Vice-president of the United utc the following citizens of New York: Mr. Fairchild then read the list of the electors named at the Albany convention in February, and the resolution was adopted and the nominations thus were indorsed. At 5:50 o'clock r. M. the convention adjourned sino die.

HAWAIIAN PLOTCEHS. Twenty ArrentMl for Attempting to Oatt the Qaeen and Overthrow the Government. Honolulu, May 2. Again the capital city of the naradise of the Pacino is aroused, the present excitement being caused by the arrest, on the morning of the 21st, of twenty persons charged with the crime of treason Against the Hawaiian government. They were arrested on information received by Marshal Wilson, are members of the Hawaiian 1'rotectivo Association, and have for their object the overthrow of the existing form of government by deposing (Jueen Liliuokalani and establishing a Hawaiian republic.' The leaders of the movement aro understood to be Volnoy V. Ashford and Robert Wilcox, the well-known agitators. They aro charged with conspiring to overthrow the presaut government and establish a republic. The plan they had in view was to make a bfeafc on or just before the opening of the Legislature. Their intentions were to capture the marshal, after this to get control of the police and household guards by gaining a majority of the men to thoir interests, and then wnen they had succeeded in these plans, to dethrone the lueeu. They de peiided a good deal on these two sourocs ior their supply of arms and ammunition. The plans or the rebels were learned throimu spies who were sent around the barracks and police station. The .Liberals had a recruiting ofticer at each placn where the party's plans were made known. The men who were approached at tirt Informed the marshal, who in turn instructed them to join the ranks of tbo league in order to get fuller information. The marshal further stated that members of both forces proved true to thoir queen and showed their faithfulness. Col. . V. Ashlord is a brother of the Hon. H. Ashford, member of the Hawaiian Parliament. George Markbani, another of the alleged conspirators, is ex-surveyor of the port of Honolulu. Among other leaders of the movement were Hon. J. W. liiplkano, who is also a member of Parliament; L. Lane and Alex. Smith, who were In tho revolution of 18S9. When Bipikano was arrested he tore off the shirt of tho marshal and threatened to shoot him. The Associated l'ress correspondent has obtained information showing that the action of the authorities is bajed upon too movements of the "Hawaiian Protective Association," which, it is said, has for its object the political advancement of Hawaiian interests, the banding together of Hawaiian in an oathbouud body which can become aggressive if necessary. Tho form of oath is asserted to be the the same as that which was supposed to have bound Marshal Wilson and Wilcox together when they Were publicly said to have joined in a plot to assassinate the late King Kalakaua in 1&7. FRANCE FAYOIIS HILVEIt, And Will Instruct Its Delrgates to Favor Increasing the White Metal's Value. Faris, May SI. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Soubeyran moved an interpellation in favor of a silver standard of enrrenoy. He argued that if silver was demonetized it would no longer have any value in France. "In Austria," he said, "measures are pending that will withdraw 750.000,000 francs in gold from the Paris and London market. It is essential that tho French government shall send representatives to the coining silver conference with instructions tending to etlect a rice in 'silver and prevent a withdrawal of gold on a scale ailecting the market. Uoth England and France ought to make most strenuous ellorts to rehabilitate silver. The United States government is well disposed toward tho project; (ierninny is less favorably inclined than Kngland, but the bimetallic movement is gaining ground." He concluded by asking the Chamber to adopt an order of the day approving the programme of the United States and Franco as arranged for the monetary conference of 1SS1. M. Bourgeois asked .whether the government would denounce the monetary convention with Switzerland, Italy and Belgium. He argued that the value of silver was daily decreasing, and that artilicial methods to sustain its value were useless. M. Rouvier. Minister of Finance, on responding to'the remarks of the previous speaker, said that the country most affected by the situation was Great Britain, owing to the relations of that government with India. Therefore, it was th place of the British government to find a notation; the key to the situation was in . London. The French government was disposed to give its delegates instructions favoring an increase in the value of silver, but these would be subordinate to the instructions given to the British delegates. It was necessary for France. M. Konvier declared, to proceed with great circumspection in the matter. In tho meantime the French government was opposed to the abrogation of the Latin monetary union, in regard to the invitation extended by the United States to France to take part in too international silver conference, M. Rouvier said that the French government would accept the invitation, but would reserve tho right of liberty of action, both now and in the future. GENERAL FOHEIGN NEWS. Emperor William Iteviews the llerlln Carrier. Two ltoyal VUltor. Berlin. May SI. The annual review of the Berlin garrison took place to-day at the Templehof and was witnessed by an immense throng, attracted to the reviewing grounds not only by the military maneuvers, but by the presence of the little (jueen of the Netherlands and her mother, theCueen Regent Emma. At U o'clock the Empress, accompanied by the Queen Regent, arrived in the ground in a carriage drawn by Mx horses. Here they were met by the Emperor, who was on horseback. In another carriage was Queen Wilhelmina, accompanied by Princess Frederick Leopold. After the arrival cf tho imperial party upon the held the review began.

He afterward took luncheon At the Schloss with his fainly and his guests. An Italian' Wonderful War Candle. IJomk, May SI. A young Italian has recently perfected an invention, under tho direction of the director-general ot the Italian artillery, which will prove of immense value iu future warfare. The invention consists in a kind of candle which produces a most intense light. This caudle is intended to be projerted from a cannon nr.d to strike the enemy's works or that part of tbo country where it is suspected tliey are. On striking any solid subetance it breaks, nnd the substance contained in it taking tire produces a light estimated to be ot the intensity of !, 00 caudle, which illuminates the held for a great distauce.

Concluded from Firt Page. John Sherman, nor Allison, nor Aldricn, nor Frye. nor Hale. 1 guess, maybe, hudid make 2soble and Miller, and 1 shall not object to his having all the credit that attaches to their illustrious careers. But the point I wish to bring out is that ours is a government of parties and not a govern pient oi men. 'The President's error lies in the belief that he has done it all. He wished the country to see in him the inspirator and creator of all that has brought progress and happiness to the people since bo began to reside in the White House. He attributes to himself all the glorious achievements of the Flftylirst Congress,, quite ignoring the superb genius whose strong arm and clear. head turned havoc into order and made the feeble Republican majority of threo or four the most proliiio and successful body of law-makers that ever sat in Congress. The Mo Kin ley bill, tho customs act, tho shipping bill, the pension luw, the navy construction laws, the fortilication laws, the army reform acts, all the wonderful legislation which the Republican majority of that Congress formulated and which Thomas B. Reed's resolute will enabled them to enact, Mr. Harrison takes to himself and says: 'See what I have done.' "In seeking to correct this misapprehension on tho President's part, I do not seek to tako from him the credit that does belong to him. He has been a good, strong, wise President, and no such he will go into history. Animated as he has been by purely patriotic motives, be will admit tho force of tho proverb that 'virtue is its own reward It indicates a false notion of tbo dignity and exaltation of the presideuey to say that any man, no matter how groat or how good, is 'entitled' to it. The man does not live in whom tbat expression would not be presumptuous. If Mr. Harrison has dope hisduty, I am glad. Bat hehas sixtyrive millions of lellow-citizeni, and it is their presidency, not anybody's. "The question tho Minneapolis convention must consider is tho great question of availability which of. the excellent Republican leaders is the most likely to develop party strength, and the least likely to cauae party, .defections. To answer this question by chuoc i another than tho President as our candutate does not imply the smallest disrespect to him. It means simply that the retention of the 1"0,0U0 other otlice-holders. whose choice for an other term is involved in his. is, iu the political circumstanoes tco large a contract for us to undertake. To ask the party to assume all these, without bringing to it some great element of strength, is. in my opinion, to ask too much. The President's friends are assiduously representing that we who oppoej his renomination are a band of cloaked and hooded Venetian conspirators working in tho dark and moved only by motives of revenge. This suggestion moves me to inquire here who are they that are advocating the President's cause and from what motives do they so earnestly strive? I do not tind conspicuous among the President's supporters anv man who has not an ofhee. However proper it may be for a man who has a good thing to want to keep it, he ought not to. insist on displaying himself as a sample of single-minded and disinterested patriotism, nor ought he to peer too closely 'into the motives of others, who are not so anxious about his personal Interests as ho is himself." A VARIETY OF. OPINIONS. SsbiD, O'Brien, Swords and Thurston Talk on the Republican Situation. United Press Dlnpatcri. . Chicago, May SI. Among the many prominent Republican politicians who ar rived tarly to-tlay at the Grand Pacitio were Frank llatton, of Washington D. C; Jude John M. Thurston, of Nebraska; exCongressman Allen, of Michigan; Commissioner of Navigation O'Brien, delegate to Minneapolis from New York; ex-senators John C. Bpooner and D. M. Sabin; Thomas Lowry and CoL W. S. King, of Minneapolie; e-(jovernor John 11. (J ear. of Iowa; National Committeeman A. L. Conger, of Ohio; Gen. Horace IS. Clark, of Muttoon. and Colonel b words, sergeaut-at-arms of the national Republican committee. Senator abiu said: "If the party wants a dead sure thing it will nominate'BIaine. Then it will send him down to Bar Harbor, put a bull dog in the front yard to keep away all reporters and politicians, and tho people will take care ot his election." Frank llatton was quite willing to talk, he s lid, but had no subject as yet. lie claims to be here strictly as a newspaper man, and will dovote his time entirely to gathering information himself. "I expect to see the 'President renominated on tho iirat ballot." said Mr. O'JJnen. "All tho States but one have at their conventions given his administration uustiuted praise. More than one-third or these have instructed their delegates for Harrison. It is conceded bj conservative, independent aud Democratic lmsiness-inen that Harrison's administration has been one of tho wisest and'salest the country has ever had. This being the case, for the Kepublican leaders to say he cannot be olecttd is to impeach the intelligence and patriotism ot the American people. Blaine has said: T am not a candidate, and my name will not go before the convention.' What friends of his can now linpugu the honesty of that letter! 1 will not . admit that ho would accept the nomination even if unanimously olTered him. It is claimed that the otlice-holders will control the con vention for tlarrisou. ell. in the New York delegation just three othce-holders. favor him. The otlice-holders generally in New York oppose, him. I do not believe it true that the national committee has taken sides in this matter. Mr. Clarkson told me himself that lie was simply lor the strongest candidate that can bo nominated. The national committee cannot allord to take a hostile position toward any one. least ot all to the President." Mr. O'Brien believes that Gen. Horace Porter will be the temporary chairman ot the convention. Thomas Lowry, with the assistance of Col. King, gave a scrt of an advance sample of Minneapolis hospitality all day. "It very thin ia perfected to receive our guests.'1 he said. "We have assigned places for about 10.00J. and we still have vacant many times that number of beds. Minneapolis peopIeVill not hnrrah for any side during the convention. They will allow it to act unbiased so far as their conduct is concerned. They may have preferences, but their chief busine.s at present is to make it pleasant for thoir guests." Colonel Swords, sergeant-ut-arm ot the national committee, announced that tbo members of that committee, for whom every one had been waiting all day. would leave to-morrow ior Minneapolis in Henry C. Paino's private car. The first meeting of the full committeo will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. " There is considerable talk about the chairmanship." said Colonel Swords, "ami many favor McKinley. It is thought by others that Culinm would bo better, since McKinley will be invaluable in framing the plutfurm und on the committee on resolutions in all lis work.'' J mite Thurstou. hoarse from his Memor. iaiduy address, spolto will ttUhia old-

time enthusiasm for Blaine. "I am still lirm in the faith tbat Blaine's nomination is a certainty. Nothing but another letter sent to the convention can prevent it. I hope such a letter will not be sent, and I firmly believe it will not be. The charge that the national committee is taking sides in this contest is unfounded. Mr. Clarkson is a delegate at larze from Iowa, and has the tame right is ail others to his personal beliefs aud to their expression. The charge against Mr. Harrison's supporters can not so easily be set aside. It Is a much, to bea-egretted fact that the President has placed his campaign in the hands of those who hold office under him. and has even recalled men from their posts abroad. It will be a serious matter, if, by any chance, he should Le nominated, should this fact give rise to the charge that he was forced to give his campaign to these men because he could get no others to assume the task." An Associated Press dispatch says that Mr. Clarkson's party arrived at 9:30 o'clock and took up their quarters at the Grand PaciGc In one of the several rooms assigned to the members of the party Mr. Clarksou at once locked himself and the following committeemen: Hyde, of Massachusetts; Conger, of Ohio; Paine, of Massachusetts, and Sanborn, of Michigan. Congressman K. P. Allen, the Michigan Alger advocate, was admitted shortly afterward.. During the entire ho'ur and a half during which this conference- lasted two type-writers were kept busv in an adjoining room. Tho presence of Congressman E. P. Allen, the Michigan Alger advocate, at the conference gave rise to the rumor that arrangements wero being made for the springing of the Blaine-Alcer ticket. Mr. Allen is not a delegate to the convention, and his presence in Chicago with the national committee was explained by shrewd guessers that he came to confer in the interests of General Atger. A further tinge of probability was given this rumor by the statement made by J. bloat Fasso'tt that the second name on the ticket would bo that of a Western man aiid a soldier. It had been rumored that one of the objects of the conference was the selection of a temporary chairman.' Nothing was done to-night, however, beyond arranging for the trip to Minneapolis. Air. Clarkson denies that there will bo any ollioial conference of any nature till after the arrival at tho convention city. In an interview Mr. Clarkson said tbat the question of the nomination would, iu bis opinion, be settled in caucus, and that the man nominated wonld be chosen by acolamation by the convention. Mr. Fassett said: "Of the four delegates at large from New York two are mildly for Harrison. At least sixty of the remaining delegates are opposed to Harrison, in the sense that thev will support Maine as first choice. Blaine is stronger to-day in the State of New York than ever. All tho old differences in the party are buried. With Waine as a candidate we can carry the State beyond a doubt." . "Is there any possibility that Mr. Maine will issue another letter similar to his last published one to Clarkson?" he was asked. "Frankly, I think stationery is scarce in the Blaiuo mansion at present. Mr. Blaine's next letter will be one ot acceptance." Among the subjects npon which gossip was plentiful was the question of temporary chairman. Culloni. lteed, Horace. Porter and McKinley were not mentioned as the men from which the selection would be made. HOOSIEKS AT CHICAGO.

Gowdy, of Kushville, Ind., chairman of the Republican central committee of Indiana, and Harry S. New and wife. They were met by Hon. John C. New and immediately. after dinner went into a conference. Nothing was done beyond determining to stand by President Harrison, though their action resulted in an eternal deadlock. "There is no need to ask who the Indiana delegation stands for," said Mr. Shiel. 'There are thirty of ns. and, we are for Harrison without Mfs' or ''ahds.' If the anti-Harrison men wane to come to us and say: 'Wo are with you,' well and good, but that is the only proposition we will have anything to do with. No other compromise will go?' "We are not going to Minneapolis to tight. We are going to nominate Benjamin "Harrison," said Mr. Durbin. "That's the only thing possible. This talk about other people does, not afreet us At all. We are Harrison men aud the rest of the delegation are Harrison men. Harrison will be nominated beyond a doubt. It don't require artificial enthusiasm to keep us in spirits, for we have a sure thing." "It is just this way." said Mr. Rhiel. "there are G25 delegates made for Harrison, mark that o. made for Harrison. That is all there is to say about it." The party, with the exception of Consulgeneral New and his eon and daughter, left for Minneapolis to-night. The. main body of the Indianadelegation will pass through. Chicago Thursilay or Friday.
