TO BE A CONTEST.

The Syracuse Convention Elects Delegates And Thus Marks Out a Plan to Be Pursued In Opposing the Action of the Machine. AN IMMENSE GATHERING. The Delegates Are Intensely Earnest of Purpose And Think Well of the Course They Are Taking. They Will Support the Chicago Candidates. All They Ask Is Justice They Protest Against the Undemocratic Course of th Machine in Manipulating the Miilvclrtter CoiiTeittion They lleftartl the Selection ot a Contesting Delegation as the Surest Mean of Getting Their Protest Before the National Democracy Cleveland's Name Is Loudly Cheered and Ilia Administration Is Heartily Indorsed The Delegates Are Not Instructed The Hill Electors Are Indorsed Proceedings of the ConTentioo. Stbacüss, N. Y., May 31. Delates to the state contention! do not as a rule turn out s erly on convention day, cor in ao good condition aa was this morning the case with those w&o were bars to attend the tnti-rnid-xluter convection. Many were about the town to a lata hour Iaal night and many othera were busy in their congressional district caucuses. William R. Grace was busy Until 2 o'clock this morning caucusing hi delegations from New York, tne Buffalo tuen after midnight attending to ruattera of detail, while ft. O. Monroe and his corps of workers on the provisional committee were buty away along to to the morning. A subject of freequent remark was the youth fal personnel ef the delegations. Vigorous young fei lows they were in the main, ranging irom twenty-fire to fort t yes rs of ace and full of vigor, push and vim. The sun followed along early, and commenced at ouce to do business upon the fresh linen of the delegates and the leaders. The heat crew and intensified, and men met and assured each ether that it was going to be a hot day. Hundreds of boya akurried about in the crowds that were gathering in the streets, selling for a nickel each paper fans l evin upon one side the hideous result of aa attempt to portray the features of iirorer Cleveland. Clev.aud badges in button forca, in ribbons tied in fanciful knots and in atrt-amers for hat lands were efery where offered for sale. '1 here could be cot donbt of the disposition of tüi crowds, for handreda of lapels an 1 many bodices of women wore the bnirht ribbone with their sold stamping. Hie element of representation that came from the farms and from the small villages to this coaveniioo wsa noticeable today. The great majority of these ha t orue in on the morning traius. They had slept at home rather than incur unnecessary hotel expenses, but today they were here, earnest, grave and bearing the impress of e nscioua responsibility in their manner. They came witn some evident apprehension that they were to m-t here plans that have a h.isi chieiiy in some other motive than Mr. Cleveland's success. 'Ihere was in their action a tinge of suspicion which resulted in careful consideration and observing scrutiny of ail they see and of a'.l they heard. White caver to listen and willing to be enlightens 1, these men were none the less critical. They had or.ly one moving purpose, and that was to secure success to (irover Cleveland. Culled tu Ordr. The convention was etlled to order shortly after noon by ei-.ereury of the Treasury Charles Fairchild, cl.airrin of the state committee. The coavention net in the AUharnbria rink, which is a great hall with a gallery along; either aide and another in the rear. The buildtug waa well crowded. The Cleveland fans Crew in number as tbe delegates settled in Iheir places and the hideous travesty of a Clevelaad portrait paddled the hot and still trioi,; air vita unceasing moveweut. In aa aile ebair, four or five rows back from the stage, there was seated a little figure behind a pair of gold rimmed glasses. The Lvure wore trouiera and a frock coat but it waa a woman Dr. Mary Walker. Bxaetiy at the tick of noon a iho it went ud from rear the doors. The sea of faces, aa seen from the stae, became eudJenly a held of black hair, hvery one had turned aromud to leirn the cause of the commotion. QoMsaly ex-Mavor iraee and John I). Kernen were recogmzed, sod as they sua d wn the aisle aide by side there came out rousing oheers. They took their way to the stage, wbere they wtn eain oheered. Ks-.Nsoreiary Fairchild and hi. hllerr Andsrsou greeted them as they eaiue up. VVnen the tumult had subsided Air. Irairchti.i, as chairman of the pro visional stale committee, arose and, amid frequent interruptions of app'auee, said: la hebalf i the provisional Hat mmiuitux I ealt tbls convention et democrat of tne etat ef ew York to orlir. 0:i I t.

Ctptious laultfinders and disgruntled tjlaco-aeekers sr of no uae in any party; they lack weig .t for ballast even; their wail aboutd be uohaard, and never disturo democrat e harutonv or loyalty. We claim under these rules our right to' Insist at Chicago that ths call for and manipulation of the Fehrunry coo veDtion was an kbu- ot trut and a violation of daniocratio right in tbia atate; that ll (rocte(iini(a thon uiiareprnaenUtl a iara element of disfranchised democrat and now niirepro9onta an OTerwbulming seutiment, which sloes then has grown to vat proportions throuKhont ths state. If our strength did nt lie in the w ill of the pople, the sun would thine at midnight before ths loyal democretlo rsak and file of this state would don tia earbof contestant and give to lliisc.sue iia nni.rieed'nt 'd growth and iia clearly marked inlonnlty purpoic. i lia people, neither dUcmllr.e.l, led nor ori(anled, are in this movement. That is its strength. They have risen la the might of their sovrrlga tnsjetty for weighty reasons to let it be known that they rule, that they haT no master, and tnat titer want their rights as dmiocr.tts in eery convention that undertakes to represent them. When the peettle ara la tbia mood it la generally found that a coneaiioa to them of the right of way ia aa prudent as though they were djnarnil. 1'or soms'yesrs prior to February last democratic unanimity rolled up victories in this state, and tbe republican party naually retired at election to lameat, with tbe shades o( Hamilton, that wraith, caste, superior intelligence, and plsty, such s distinguished the i'harireee of old. and revolatiocarr torica, and aa la now exemplified la Mr. Piatt and other eminent republicans, no longer f.ttteued upon the tubs'ance ot the mas.' nor quelched t Weir thirst with the drtpplog sweat of patient toil. One psrtr organization inlheat.it grew stronger with ita onptrtunitia tbua altbrdml, the distribution of reasrdssnd punUhments fncilitsted the cnvntration of the control of psrty uisrhinery, much applause showered ujx'n party managera aroused aoiue ambitiona, the complete aubmisaion ot the last democratic president and his sulwrdinates to the verdict of lss, their at'8olute retirementto the walks of private and professional life, their utter abstention from any att-mpt to prpetU4to ray factional control in the party facilitated the schemes of thoae who sought to barythe tusmury of thit admiaistratioa and Its great achievements In political oblivion. Tb'oughout all this period tbe notion, bowever, still prevailed, that the democratic duci wsre the rulers of their party, snd that leaders were placed in position not so much to pose as individual towers of atrnigth aa to obey orders. .Sil J'ienly, these leaders snd managers select- d Washington's birthday for the patriotic purpoe of as.-erting their owuersbip of New York democrats and, amid curses and protests loud and lee;, held a anowahoe convention at Albany. They sent de!egstea to rrtsnt to tbe national convention, to be held four m nlhs later, ths ruile-1 and barrea outlook (f February as the f ull-dowered June sentiment of democrats in this atate aa to candida'es, upon a platform which duloyaily sad venomous y rupre.sntd New York democrats as deliteratoly Ignoring the clean and sturdy record of the only democratic natioul administration that had b'.esad our countrv in over thirty years. They played "il iiulet" without any tlamlet. The February convention was a mistake from every standpoint; In some aspects it vas a crime, indictable at Chicago. ruch c .nvcntions, according to party usatre, are held in April, late, or more tisua.iliu My; none in modern timea was ever held 10 early. No one before ever attempted to put the party iai a bole by such a device as a February convention. At that S'-aoa of the year eauros material la scarce and generally confined the bad quality that done some suit's bidding. When dars are short, nights long, road drifted, and the national convention four months diatant, tbedutv and political occupation ot demoerrats in this slate a.' elsewhere is to watch and weili the drill oi events, to be students of every phase ot paain political history, to seek conviction and to draw inspiration from Die air currrnts of detnocralio sentiment that sweep over the country. Until tl'elr views are thus mature I and they are ready to act in the full sunlight of such pre arstlon, democrats will not be driven into caucuses or conventions, especially in'o those dssigned as "stupe." The F ebruary conveatiun sien-d by a design to take ad santago of this situation, aud by xo.usiva and huh-handed m.thodsof preparation and msr.ipulaliou sought to (oroj np-m democrats throughout the Union the ambitious desire of a few as the final, conclusive opluioa of all their brethren in New York state. The delegates of that convention go to urge what the politicians wanted in February; the delegates ot this contention to slate what tbe people of New York want now. Tbey will shout tor steam regularity aud the lornit, shadows and eoveriogsof things. We will plead that justice, equity and tbe sutistanee of democracy be recognized aa having tbe better title. They will suggest that the danger of defeat in November will dr.rkeu the pathway which tbey do not dictate. We will Insist tint the aauranee of certain victory will brighten the road whereou democrats will march after that convention, bnlnd its banner, upon which shall be written in letters of living light sound democratlo principles, an t tli.i name of a candidate of whoiu tboea princlpWe shall be bone of his hone and tieah of bis floeh, whoever he may he. It is'wrll st this time to Inquire what Is democracy and who are democrats. Jetlerson was a democrat when he abolished entail, espoused the cause of relig out treedom, aJsooated simplicity, economy, low taxation, kept his relatives out of othee, and louijht to the wall the gifted Hamilton, bxhio 1 whom was marshaled the federalist wealth of the country, urging centralization of power and cu'iuetting with the constitutional monarchy idea. 1 be V. ."i. bank was a genuine republican party iustitution; It cejtrallzed the money rower of the country; then it nurtured itself as a political factor, and extended its reach, by gilta to improve-m-uts, suhsi lies to the press, by usin public nioip y for iTivaie gain, by loaning eongressmen as tbe pi ire

ot thsir allegiance, and aa some one said, iy limiting diaconnta to bla:k eockale federalist. When Jacksin smsshed that bank he was ss tru'y a democrat as he was a patriot when be fought F.ngland at New Orleans. Jackson dd not select as Ins aaysgomst lu war the smallest boy lu the shortest pauts tobe found among thsnati.nsnf the earth, as did Ifsrrlaoti, wh-n he bullfesl littleCbili; theone uieaut tusiness, while the other was Ju-t playing a little pol. tics to the ga'lery. H it politiciao donounctd Jackson sa tbty do one like him now ; they said lie would not run with the maenioe, tnat n was a aiaorgaouer, that be was too independent ot tbe advice of leaders; but Jackson stood fur the people, for their rigtits. au l for their way of thinking; that Is what made a niao a democrat then, and il is what makes a una a democrat now. Tlden, the elected but defraided president. Rive an object lesson in pure democracy when ha drove both republican and dmocratfo thieves out of the canals aa I out of New YorkCity government, puri ne-1 the Judiciary, and opposed the attempted greenback spoliation of the eurreccy. The politicians iuarre.ed with him aliout taking such local m liters into t hi state convention ; tbey said it was ines pelltnt; that it would disturb harmony snd hurt the party. Tiiden, however, combined political sagacity with iat-grity, and the reverse happened; the party wsa pnrlfiedaad strengthened, and won, with hi an as the eironeal of true dsmocrscy, both in the stats and nslion. Trken came tbe administrations of (irover Clevelead at Albaiy and at Washington. These a tempi i hed every noble tradition and every grand principle of the democralio party; tbey redoetued our promises to give to the country pure democratlo giverameutt they bristled with what Governor evfuour eallet "ngly honeety. Ü ben, however., wn.sej Llevelsnd iialled bis messsge of lis beneath th t stars snd stripes upon the flsstatf at the white house, piaoed personal ambition behind bins, defied the quaklngs of pleading expediency, and laid the democratic position upon this Imming tsritf question Irsntly and squsrely before the people, be towerp I. aa a dumorrat, above all statesmen of this generation as tne popular exponent of that fundatnetital tenet of democracy that this ts a government t,l he people, by the people, and for the people. The disaster of IS'ictms because tbe pe ople did aot at onos aee. aa tbey hats eine lxn loarulog snore and more elearly to aee, the right and wrong of this complicated tariff question, sad beetuseof tbe corrupt nse of money poured out by the carnival of monopolists, trusts and manufacturers, who wsre aubssxpiently rewarded by the McKinley tarliT. which, aa was inevitable, has already proved to bs a dis-eppointineul even to ttsm. I said nuoli ts a republican tbe other day. "Oh! yH," he answered, "but we must wail at least fve years to judslt fairly." I replied, "The business of this cuDutry will not wslt Ave yrsrs for aivt'-ini;, eiscli less lor relief from overproduction ami the need of brosder msrkets." Notwithsunding that the enormous crops of the past year and the nnusual demand abroad for our producta have expanded the home market foronr manufacturers beyond all precedent, it is clear that broader markets most coins or overproduction will swaaspour industries snd redoes still lower the w aires of toll, which, ss tabor kaows. bare not improved as promised un ier tbe McKinley law. A nation un lr protection is st war with the world. Including lUelf. it courts all tbe disasteis, at boms and abroad, which ge hand in hand with retaliation. At has been said, we hnrt ourselves as much as possible by cutting ourselves otf irons foreign mar kets, bsieause in retaliat.oa foreigners hurt them selves as much as poaalble by cutting thsmsolves olf from our markets. When covered with a cast-off garment of free trade called tbe reciprocity doctrine for vote-ealehiug purpoeea. the auia total of theao "hurts" Is the a a ram ii in boeuiu of protectionists. The varnish of so-ca led reoiprocity is too thin to eover up the dfeets f crotectloa : oil and wster will not tali Froteetloa is to hold our home ausrkel for ourselves; reciprocity Is to open it to foreigaers -the one is ibe undoing of the etUer; they are lacousiatotit, and one of thi-oi la wrong.

who but Cleveland should command the battery; who should stan 1 at the helm when Ibe old ship sails into sale and p!eaant waters in November next with victory's in flying at her masthead, but ho, who stood upon her prow in the midst of dsnger, wbeu the wlnJa and waves of tempestuous days sought bar destructlouf Asl drove ono night with Govornor Beymonr from a political meeting I aked him whether he ever feared that universal suffrage would bs a failure. Jsptakiug with that earneataesa which baa so often aroused democrats when be stood before them In this very city in all the genial crandour ot his inagDillecct manhood, he said: .No. air. 1 have uo such fear; the ballot box, under univertai suitrage Is the safest tribunal for the decision of political questions ever devised by ths wit of man ; th people ar slower ia their perceptions, but in the end, are nearer right in their conclusions than any selected body of men ever can be." Thst ia the kind of democratic faith that otietd Grorer Cloveland when be trusted the peoplj in 17 ! t The demands of those who believe In these dmocratic principles, which are a cntury old. and have been forged iu contaets from JeSerson to Cleveland, are theee: They demand sound currency, in which silver shall have fair phy, but not a policy which shall attempt to protect egainat "gold bugs" by creating ilver bugs." nor pay such a bounty to silver producers as to force a day laborer to accept f 1.20 worth of coin for work worth ii Labor must be paid par in value, no matter what metal is nsed. They demand a tariif reform, ench aa tbe Mi'.la bill proposed, whicU Lall eut oil bounties from monopolies, trusts and onib nations, like the Kading ccal deal, that proposes t freeze money out of the people next winter, but which shall Is to prudently aud wi-ely adjusted for all needed revenue purposes aa not to plunge the heated irons of trade into a cold bath, aod as shall probtet American labor whenever peculiar condi tioua ot foreign competition or feeble dvclopmeul shall make any suoh protceUon a benefit and not a hindrance. They deraaud that taxation shall be reduced and kept within the needs of eoonoinical admlnistrstlon ; the people can take care of tbeir own earninga, and want no government to become tbe paternal in-vs-tor of their surplus. They demand that every carnoratlon and combination le ruled and regulated by laws which will protect tbe peon!e from their encroaching tendencies without impairing their legitimate scope aud t'fiiciency. They demand tbst there bo no sumptuary legislation, which, for minor ends of good, daugeroualy invades the domain of individual lreedom and curtails

the rlg'ut of every msa ti work out his own destiny. Titer demand not the prayerful and sniveling pre tenses of Waramaker, but practical civil service reform, wherein illness shall be the chief recouimendatiou lor official position; wherein offcOHive partisanship s!iall be causo tor removal, and whereuuder an administration, subject to these limitattona, hall be in the hands of Its friends, aud not ot its enemies. Tbey demand a broad and just peusion policy which sliull, bowever, protect tbe treasury from frauds and shares. Thov demand that public officials shall aet like publie aorv ants, aud shall live ia republican aimplicity, liko to that of Jerterson when he rode alone ou hiusoliaclt to tho capitol, tied his horse to a fence l ost and was sworn in as the brst democratic presiof the United ftaes. Last of a. I. thev demend a rresident wbo shall be t!ieir servant and ob -dient to these principles, who shall regard his otliej as a public trust to be held and used tor the good of the masse, ant wnn iacal.ono enough to stand by the people ana to tiiinx as thav do, whether opposition to their interests shall Coma from within or without his own psrt. Dur republican friends will not in tho end derive comfort trotu our democratlo dissensions in this state, which at preeent r dl unJer their tongues as a sweet roorsil. leinocrstio disputes will end at t niravo; thureaiter New York deniocrata will accept the decision of that tribunal aa fluni, and win stand with Iheir brethren iiverywhere for the nomiaM who fu.ly and frankly accepts the pledges oi tue platform. to long as republicanism stand lof centralisation. uaderwisicli the wealth and easte of the country haul together to support a parly that feeds thoui upon the suli-tauea of the people for extravagant exdendtlttrue for internal improvements df sigue.l to advance the cause of centralisation, and to defeat the necessity for tax and tariff reduction, whicli ne cessity inesitably ariaos when revenues exceed proptr outlays; lor that seorouea out not neau aupreme outrage embodied in the proposed "force bill," under which corrupt men in either party can change an election result in tbe count and deetroy the supremacy ol" the ballot, which is our greet and only absolute safeguard to long, we repeat, as republicanism stands for these vicious ends no democrat can vote against his party on national queeuons. Men wearing the party livery may at times gam some control and abuse their trusts ; representatives mav sometimes vota for extravagant expenditures, or.'as is more llkelr, yield to some ex lent to the necessity of preserving public works which the re publican settled ami uesignea poucy oi iirvssi penditure bas begun, aa with our stsls capitol; thieves, professing democracy, mav sometimes bresk in and steal, but these relapses do not mesa chaos. They sre evils that will occur in all parlies whose membership are men; they are unsightly fores; tliev do not. however, reach the vitals, and are curable se long as tbey sre against tbe principles of S party sound to the core. A striking lllierence ueiwccn me rspuuncsa iiu the democratlo partr is this: The republican preas and party san? hymns of praise and thanksgiving during the orgies of the billion-dollsr congress, be cause the policy ot tbe party was neing earned oat, tbe surplus left by Cleveland was vanishing, the need for tax reduction was disappearing, and the conscience of the party approved aad was sereue. W hen, bowever, a democratic congress tskes a step lu that direction, the democrstle press and its follow ers growl snd call a halt. .Such extravagance goes against tne grata oi democracy and is regarded as a sin to be reponted of; for this reason is it that the democratic party is at heart a treasury guardlau against extravagant tendenoles in or oat of it sell, llenea it is last tno peopio wsnta democrat In the white house who bas the rujged strength and ugly honesty to keep expenditures withiu the rule, tradition and design of democracy. A good preacher otioe said to hie simble congrega tion in a hamlet that the "wicked would bo annihilated." After service discussion arose aa to the raeuulng of that big word, and one, mors learned than the rest, explained that annihilated meeal that "the wioked would get no rest." In like nitan-t re publicans may feel assured that from the aljourauiniit ol trtd convention at l uicago until tne curiew tolls the kneil of parting day at the November polls republicans will get from a united democracy what tho learned brother aaid the wicked would get; aft-r the polls closet the signs are that they will have a rest In that vale of repose and lamentation where we democrats have dwelt siuce lses. lt ns. then, push on our contest, prepared tn abide by the result, and confident that it was of the democracy in this campaign that the poet sang whea ho said: "These angry, struggling tides thst seem lu wayward, endless coarse to tend Are but eddies of the mighty stresra That rolls t its appointed end." Yes to its end -the platform, the nominee at Chieago aud victory ! When Mr. Kernen reached tnat portion of his speech where lie referred to the fact that the conreattoo knew soruethiug about Grover CleTeland, the convention felt that it really had just cause for enthusiasm. The entire body aeemed to be upon its feet with lifted Toioes, waring arms, slashing cane, waring; fans aad handkerchiefs, hats snd umbrellas. The ladies caught the enthusiasm of the moment aod added to its scene the wavinr of tbeir fans and kercbtels. The speaker's reference to Seymour waa met with quick recognition sa was his reference toeilverand silver legislation. At tbo c'ose of the address the secretary read the roil of delegates for confirmation and substitutions. The stite committee hid determined that the committees of tbe convention should be named by congressional districts, one from each. Following tbe roil call motions were made for tbe creation, respectively, of committees upon permanentorganization, credentials, resolutions and a committee to report on delegates to tbe national convention. The motion providing for a committee a resolutions provided for the submission ( resolutions to the committee without debate. U'ben tiie motion for a committee on credentials was peuding a delegate aroae to object that tbo convention would do better to deeds first whether it would send delegates to Chicago. Tbe chairman, however, atatei that the question e-ould go first to the proper committee and thus to the contention. At 1:25 p. ui. the contention adjourned to 3:i!0 p. m. During the recess the delegation met by congressional districts to select members to escn of the committees thsl had been profiled for before intermission. The oommittees so constituted then met at the various hotels to do the work appointed to each. The convention reassembled at 4:15 and tho temporary organization was mads permanent. Tit Platrurnt K. H'.ery Anderson, chairman of tbe committee on resolutions, sent up to the ssoretsry the platform aa prepared and revised by the ootnnilttet during recess. It reads: We, the delegates of the demoorstie party of the state ef New Y ork, assembled in eonvention at Syracuse, declaro that the reust urgent necessity of the Union is a radical reform In the administration ot tbe federal government. We declsre thst tbe democratic party alone is trne to the people and alone can be trusted to administer the government of the nation la tbeir interest. We dsnounee the republican party for Its abuse of power during the past four years. Obtaining la If,!) control ef the executive and both brsncbes of congress, thst party Immediately entered upon a courts of eitravuganc, tyranny and frsud. It found tbo treasury in reeeipt ef a large and increasiag surplus, bat disregarding the duty thus Imposed upon it to relieve the neoole from the oppressive taxation ao long endured tbe repubiicss iixty through lu "hlilloa dollar eoogrsMi" oaaoted

appropriations amounting to J.ViO.COO.OOO annually. It made most of thee appropriations permanent fo they canuot be reduced by the present democratic bouse of represeolatives without lb conenrrsnee of the republicsn senate. It turned a maroitleent surplus to an imminent delielency. It went to lengths of class legislation bef jre unheard of by enacting lis McKinley bül. It deprived the state of New lari of its Just representation in c ngrss and in the e ectoral college by a fraudulent census. It displayed an utter coiitoiupt tor ecouomy and honesty by iu fraudulent administration ot tho pension clhoe. It reached a climax of partisan oppression In Its strenuous endeavor to enact iuto lawthetniamous foren bill. Contrasted with this history of sxtravaganeo and oppression we recall with ever lncreasm satisisction thewisosnd prudent democratic administration of irover Cleveland. He pointed eut in his message ol Jeceiuber, 1S7. the trua mission of tbe democratic party, and through temporary defeat, brought it to tho raagnif.o-nt victories of l.W and 'il. All this has beeu remembered by our brethren in other states, Irom the AiUnlio to the 1'aclAc, aud we emphatically declare, should not be a blank space upon tho deracratlc map. We denouneo the McKinley tarilT; we declare that a tariiTis a tax; that all taxation ia a burueo; tiiat it should never exceed the neceseiiica ol government wisely and economically adminiawred. We on lern n the t reeent tariif. n t only because It Is excessive and restrictive ot the com mercial development ot the oouatry, but because it has ben enacted in the interests of the law at the expense aud for the oppression of the maseesof the peole. It 1 class legislation. It does net increase tbe receipts of ware-earners, but it turns over to the protected manufacturers, ever becoming more and more rapacious, the bderal treasury and tho taxing power of the le leral government to use lor their owu benefit, but leaves it to them to decide whether or not tlie wt; earners tbey employ ahould recslve any part of this enormous bounty. It is an iuexhaurtilue source of corruption, a constant menace to free govern ment. It has capped the indojcndcnce of industry aod induere men to seek to grow rich by oliicial favoritism rather than by their own exertions. An inovilable consequence is that the clats in receipt of these vast pecuniary favors should s-ek to perpetuate their grasp upon the goverr ment by supplying. In practically unlimited amouuts. the money with which an eleoiorais may be corrupted tad popular government destroyed. The democratlo party baa ao more urgent mission than to destroy a system productive of so much evil. Biet, In a spirit of moderation, with due regard t the interests of capital now Invested an 1 labor now employed in protected industries, trie paramount duty of ths party is to continue Its opposition to the tsritf uatil ail customs taxation is enacted for reveiue only. The recentchange in the poller of the. republican party frum a general system of hluh taritr taxes to tbe reciprocity system is aa admission of the vast benefits to be derived from the extension of our foreign trade and of the justice of the tanrj reform principle. We approve tbe uae of both gold snd sliver as money, and we demand that all dollars, whether gold or silver, shall be equal In value to each other in fact as well as by declaration ot law. We are eppos I to the free ciiuage of silver by tbe United Mates alone at the enisling ratio of Id to 1 because we bJlieve that free coinage at that ratio will result In the immediate disappearance of gold irotn ths business of this country, the use cf silver with certain lose to every wage-earner and every savings batik depositor, with impairment of credit aod disastrous disturbance of business of every kind. We demand tho repeal of the Sherman silver law of 1 as an obstruction to international bimetaiiam and because it is rapidly bring'.ug this country to silver uiono-iuetalism with all lis attending evils. We recognize the cecostity ot an organization through which the party uiey direct its energies, but when such an or0' mirntiou claims to be tba party Itself lustead of its instrument, wlwa it suppresses the voice and niisropreseo ts the deaire of the party, when It calls tho caucuses at unaccustomed seasons aud upon insufficient noticss, when, regardless oi the votes cast. It places upon the convent on roll and admits to the convention) only those who, without respect to the voice snd wishes of their constituents, will errree in sdvance to support the scheme of oligarch it has estsblished; w hen it gives notice in advance that they who will not agree t'j be subservient toltswlllw.il not be admitted, then It ceases to be representstire, creates discontent, rouses resentments snd lmirils the success of the party. In this emergeucy it bs-

ootnee the duty of the orictnal elements ot the psrty to taks such notice as will restoro to It just relations between Its in -tubers and their areata. We believe in and deiuaud fulr primaries, fair conventions, fair elections, fair returns, end iho faithful olervance of the verdict of tbe ballot-box. The democratic party retains unshaken confidence in ths ability and integrity of Grover Clt vulaud and in his devotion to publio duty, lie Is the choice of nn overs helming majority of tbe democrats of New York and the oouatry relies with confidence urns hia abiiltv to carry tbe -stale triumphantly in Noveniber. We believe by nominating him to les i the party In the approaching contest for the presidency the national couventton will carry out the almot unanimous wish of the party and best cousult tbe welfare of the country. We pledge ourselves to eunport the candidates nominated In Chicago. Tbe delegttion chosen by this convention is instructed to act as a unit according to the-determination of a majority of its membors. Received TTtth Cheers. The denunoiatioa of tbe mid-winter convention was creeled with yociferous applause. The reference to Grorer Clereland as being able to carry New York atate again moved the convention to its feet end to a storm of applause, while the affirmation that this convention and iia constituencies would support tho nominee at Chicago, whoever be might be, waa greeted by a borst of cheers and 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 waa long and uproarious. At onee William I-ounsberry of Kingston waa ud on bis feet upon the stsge to second the resolution. He aaid: Of the favorite sons of Iho different states no one of them seems now to be urging himself. When they thoroughly consider tho question it comes back id ths old maxim "the ofhee of president is not to be sought or declined." We are not, therefore, trouble I with candidates. Tho office is uncs more seeking the maa the man logical to the situation, lu all the slatee the logle Is understood. It is in some places under a hass, as in Sjuth Carolina, or under too strong a lens, as in Keutucky, but It is clsnr and bright enough a i that we can rea l the handwriting ou the wall. C eveland is to be nominated by two-thirds or by acclamation. As to the matter ol platform we nave an equally clear course.

Frederick II. ilinricbs of Brooklyn and Robert McCarthy of Syracuse, who waa state charity commissioner under Governor Hill, also spoke. The platform was then adopted. air.

CrawfordsTlUc Aroused Over tlieNonInfurcement of Law. Crawfof.P3YII.IU, May 31. Special. Someihipg of a sensittion was occurioued hero last night by the publication of a eard by Dr Ktter that eighty persons were seen to enter one ealoon hero last Sunday and sixty-fire an- j other. Within two hours' time ttie law-abiding citizens arose as one man and ci&rolied to the council hall, where the common council was in session, and demanded that the common laws of dreooy be enforced. Fach councilman, policeman and eren the mayor was called up by tbe populace and mado to give rca4ons why the laws wero not enforced. A demand was made that aa ordinance be passed ordering down all screens and the hoisting of blinds so that an unobstructed view could bo had of the interior of all saloons during Sunday and al ter II o'clock at eight 1'acli counoilman pledged himself to rote for something of the kind, and before adjourning the mayor obligated himself to meet oitlxens on the morrow and begin the work of reformation. Councilman Reynolds bewailed the publication of the fsots es they occurred Sunday, and said such publications injured the fair came of our city, but l'r. Ktter clearly demonstrated that the officers of the law had boen appealed to in vain for a period of years, and if there had been any sin committed in its publication, he was the one to be directly censured, but he waa a citizen of Crawfordsville and directly interested in her welfare along with those who wer bore asking that her ruor&ls b. tiefende 1 and that the robbers of her character be punished; that it was not lie or hia law-abiding associates that trailed the fnir name of this beautiful city iu tho dust, but that the blame lay at the door of the oßicers who failed tc do tbeir whole duty. Tteforin had been pledged within tiie republican party of thia city, where they have a majority of MOO but as usual that pledge had been lorcotten until the uprising of the people at last night's session of tbe council, in whese chamber the presence of a democrat is a thing of the past. Last night's performance ia only a percursory of what is to follow and unless prompt and eLeotive action is begun impeachment papers will be tiled tgaicst the board, ia fact every arraut'ement for ousting the olBoers has been secretly mado so that irotn last niu'ht all are ou probation. The saloon element has become so powerful here that the existenoj of the republican party of this city depends upon its support, aud at the last city election the tlnrty-tive caloous, with all their following, worked and voted with the republicans, with the understanding that they were to be nurnol'sted. The contract has been faithfully kept, but an outraged publio has risen ami demands thnt the pledges made to them te kept or the oltices vacated. ISr double dealing tne republicans swept everything, but the price bas been too great, lor in the flush ol victory tne lair name ot a beautiful -cHy ku teen sJefated, sn1 ns her oilicers, whose dnty it is to ward of!' all evil ap proaches, are censuring an indignant publio because of their own neglect of duty. The publio bad to resort to the press to ?et a semblance of an action toward the fulfillment ot anteelection pledges. A committee of responsible citizens, tieaded br the Her. .Mr. Inglis and Tr. Ktter. were ap pointed several weeka ago to privately iook after the aotiona of the officers and the viola tions of tbe Sunday laws, and after a vigilance of nearly six weeks they were) srtned with sufficient data, and last night they laid tho matter before the board. GLADSTONE TALKS. Ho Denounces Salisbury fur Ills Monaco to Irtish l'cace. Lospo, May SI. Mr. Gladstone, in ad dressing the London liberal radical union this evening, said that tho dissolution of parliament wns approaching with trreat strides. Tbo whole country wos awaiting with expectancy the removal of legislative difficulties by tho Newcastle procram. That was a gigantio task, but it might be accomplished in a way once the Irish problem was disposed of. There was no group of questions the libera's were more united upon than those afTeoting tbe London municipal power. They believed that local oontrol should have the widest extension. There might be cause for piwliamentury interferenee in cases where industries possessed legislative privileges. . Inferring to Lord Salisbury s jurisdictiod of rebellion in Ulster against a DnLho parliament, Mr. Gladstone says that that speech had become an extraordinary feature of our political history. It was no longer an isolated expression of a single policy political qnoudary. it was now opposed by his colleagues in parliament. It was an astonishing intimation, wbicb, under the. vail of rrODheor. menaced the law of the land, lint the law -of the land has al ways received the intelligent ana entnuiiasno support of the Irish people.

Tho orüer of the day waj then called, it being the report on theological seminaries. Tho supplementary report wss aain read. A Klar S tha Semlmstv. A recommendation which v. as absmt from the other ia made to enjoin our preebyteries to eee that students under their care be prepared ior their sacred office in eeminaries and by teachers who are under direction of the assembly and thut the board of education be directed to restrict the appropriations for tiu education of eudents to those who are purauini their studies under tha above-named institutions or under private instructors. Thia is aimed at Union teaiinary, and it puts on tho "boycott" aa wad forcibly stated on the floor. The only changa iu the resolution with regard to Union seminary was made toward the end, where 'uon-comphance" of directors ia called "a failure to comply with the obligations contained in the compact of J s77." The reeolutiou as to tho necepwity of tho maintenance of veto lower is identical throughout. Wit it regard to the identity of transfers and original appointments m tho case of professors, .the following ia recommended: "The general assembly ia constrained to insist upon ita interpretation of the terms of compact as given by the aFeembly at Detroit." Without voting contradictum, the report goes on to recommend a nppfltiYe, . analer -to the memorial of the Union theological seminary directors asking tho "co-operation" of tho general assembly in beverini; its connection, saying that as?ent to the prayer of the memorialists that the compact bo annulled, and it recommends the adoption of the following: Resolved, That this general assembly recognizes tbe statua quo as to dillereure of Interpretation eiveu by the directors ef the Union seminary from that given by tbe assembly's committee ot conference; and iu accordance with the proposition suggested by the said committee ot the conference, this geueral assembly agrees to re fer the diCerenoe ot interpretation of the compact of lc70 aa to transfers to a committee, of arbitration. 2.

Ihs Supplementary Report. Tho minority report was considerably modified during the deliberations. Tho text of tho supplementary report is as follows: Vhereas, The lnit jreneral assembly's committee of fifteen nnd tbe directory of the Union theologioal seminary in mutual e nfernce discovered what they declared to bean irreconcilable ditierence of opinion touching the aixnificanoe of the agreement mado iu 170, and mutually recognized each other's conscientiousness and rights of opinion, yet could reach no conclusion as to tbe proper course for each party in the future, and Whereas, The directors of the Union theolcgieal seminary have memorialized this abeeuibly, asking that the agreement of 1870 be annulled. Therefore be it resolved, That the Union seminary have tho liberty to honorably withdraw Irom that agreement and be from this data no longer responsible thereto.

Dr. Blayney of Kentucky objected to tho contradictory recommendation which tho majority report contained. lie proposed a set of eight resolutions which contained many modifications and additions. Inatoad of declaring Dr. Briggs chair de jure vacant, he proposed to declare the election incomplete. The resolution! were seconded as an amendment to tho reports previously oilered. The discusHion of the whole subject was participated in by a large number of the commissioners. Mr. Karnhaw of the Utica presbytery moved tho eubsititution of tho university report in regard to the Union seminary, lie spoke of the unworthy asperatious cast upon the seminary directors by the majority report. To the . general surprise an effort to limit debate was unsuccessful at this poiut lr. Vilson denied that rellection was cast upon tha Union directors, lie also denied the existence of contradictions. He made, a spue iai piea in favor of arbitration against the withdrawal of the emlcary. lr. Tylor, the iranier of the minority report gave a careful statement of the history of tho conference committee, showing that the arbitration matter had already been settled in conference and that Dr. Patton had explained the "6tatua quo" as meaning that tho "seminary w ih have to tolerate the veto aud the aatembly will have to tolerate Prof. Brigg." Dr. Moflitt of Baltimore said, that the (juireriuz of the seminary is the aui v ring

of a child. Tha majority wished to gin the seminary another chance to put itaell ripht. Dr. Lampman of Newark objected to the majority report on account of its form and Fubstanco. Tha closing words cl the speaker were: "What 1 object to ia that you ehouli come with a Hag of truce in one hand and a club in tha oilier to Leal out ths brains cf the institution." These words he waa called upon to retract, but the moderator interposed, interpri ting the words as a lik'urative expression of his opinion. The expiration of the morning hour called a halt in the discussion. Tho epecipl order for 2 o'clock was the report of the committee on Sabbath obssrvanco, presented by Co!. Shepard of Ncm- York. For the second time the astern bly entered its protest against opening the Columbian fair ou Sunday. Tho report on teinj-eraiu-o evoked conaidtrab'o discuesion, as has been already noted.

In relation to the memorial from thv Keokuk presbytery r-gar.lin(j the resolution to have a memorial acaiuat intemperance and the niKnulacture of li.juore, tho commissioner-", in view of past declarations on tho subject derided, it was not necessrry to eend down another declaration. On suL'aestbin of the moderator, the report of the tho'n;rical seminaries' committee was mad the upoeird order ior this evening. Tho vote was orirrrvl talcen at the end of tbe diacu.sion, limited to ono hour. Tha di?cnjion wa spiritoJ throughout, dealing m.iinir with Um p.efdion of arbitration and ths appointment of a comr.iittee to confer with the directors of all tho seminaries, with a view to form a new arrangement between them and theaserably. Tho moderator took tho flor to advocatw a substitute oilered by Dr. (ireen of New Jersey. A vote was taken on tho lirst portion of th3 minority report allowing the Union seminary to withdraw nnd it was lost with a roar, fow voting in favor of the motion. The rest of the report was then voted down. Dr. i recti's substitute then came up an l was adopted seriatim. Tho pat er thus udopted whs ba follows: 1. '1 tint the assembly er..'irs-s the interpretation of tho coin pact of 1570 us expressed by the action of 1S71. 2. That the assembly declines to be a party to the brcukint; of the compact with tbe Union theological seminary. 3. That the assembly is persuaded that the

church should have the direction with, and the oontrol over its theolojjioal seminaries. 4. That the assembly appoint a committee of fifteen to tike iuto consideration the whole subject of relations of tbo assembly to its theological aemjnsrie?, confer with direvtors ot these seminaries and report to the next general assembly such action as, in their judeuieut, will resolt in still closer relations between the assembly and its seminaries than those which at present exist. fs. That the assembly dismiss the eimmittee of eonterence appointed last year with the heartiest thanks for its faithfulness and highest appreciation of the service rendered to the church. The only psrt of majority report which was adopted was that which a speaker characterized as proclaiming a boycott on the Union seminary. The resolution looking toward arbitration was considered at length and was finally adopted in the form recommended in the majority report. HE CA.M E TOO LATE. r.tthetle Stovy or at Wile's Secret and m II usliana's tnrgtvensss. fKe York t'orresonJauce Cuurter-Journnl.l P.y tbe bye, do you ever go to funerals? Generalizing, 1 think it is wrong. As the darkies say, one funeral makes many, i'ut the other dy I wa? induced to go tooue b-i-catiso I knew tho iove story of the woman who lay there placidly asleep forever. Her husband bent over her and wept bitterly, and a'.l that I could say to myself was that it was remorse. But afterwerd I heard of something that happened just before death came into that house and it mad rue a litile rentlo in my judgment cf tho man. You remember th htory of iVcuJ'ruu. Well there has been many a FrouFron who lived and died in your time and mine, aud among them ia the woman whci went to sleep only such a little whiie ago. Her lifo was a curious one. When sht wns very younn she lived in Paris and there met a young man; there was an unfortunate story, a duel away off in the south of Franco and a little baby's grave. When the young girl cr.me back to this country no one, of course, knew anythirt? about thia, ami in a very fdiort time a rich man had asked ber to bo his vife. She went to her mother, asking of her that tho6tory rnuht be told him, thea if bo wished to marry ner she was willing. Tho mother promised that it thould be but it never wu. Two days after her marriage she said something to ner huahand about it and to her horror discovered be knew nothing of it, so eba told him, aad from that day ou he never spoke to her. Years came and went, ehe grew bitter, the world called her sarcastic, and never supposed that any reason existed for tha cutting words she said, because, as they claimed, she had plenty of money, a handsome husband and a beautiful home. Una night she went to see "Frou Frou," and, listening to the story as told by the erratest genius of the day, there came to her this thought: "If 1 speak to my husband ajzaiu, perhaps he might forgive me. "So that night sho went to bis room, told him how she felt and pleaded that her youth and ignorance might excuse her crime; insisted on her creat anxiety that he should know it, and then well, he stooped over, kissed her and told her that the next day they would begin lifd again, and begin a new life a life full of love aud happiness. She went back to her room, threw herself on her bed, and in the morning when they came to waken her she wca lying asleepin that Bleep irom which there was no waking, and on her face waa the sweetet-tof smiles, so that dead she looked aa young as she did when sho stood a bride beside her sweetheart.
