"Now, my Democratic friends, what a-re we going to do (here today. Nominate a ticket, of course. There is not any one among1 us -who came here with any Idea of shooting in the air and going through a drees parade of formulating truths except hy the concrete ieseon of two good men standing upon- a good platform. Man who are exempt, are not jMurtfcular who they are, whether It be some gentleman, who after a llong life to he service of his country Sn war would take off his armor which we fwould put upon Mm and make him a leader." (Mr. Bredkinridge looked hard lait Senator Palmer as he uttered these •words, and the convention sent up a (tumultuous yell of "Palmer, Palmer." I 'When quiet was ohGained-the speaker touched hrlerfly upon money and tariff •questions, concluding: "And, when tthis convention adjourns and we return (hOrne, we will win no election. Perhaps mot a single otate will certainly vote for our ticket. The scaffold of a victim nnay be the crown that shall hereafter snark the victor. We will he defeated at the polls, tout we will save, what? The honor of America (applause), the good name of our people and the Demotenatlc party from ruin." (Applause.)

Kesolatlona Adopted.

Mr. Griffin, chairman of it-he New fYork delegation, attempted to read a resolution on the coinage question, but St Was referred to the committee under the rules without debate. Mr. Ochs of Tennessee then mounted a chair and offered ia resolution expressing the deep Boss (National Democracy felt In the death of Massachusetts' brilliant exIgovernor, William E. JRusseH. In closing he referred to the spirit of sectionalism which 'had 'brooded over the Chicago convention, which had no place in a nalt'ional (Democratic convention.

The resolution was adopted by a rising vote, .and 3r. Everett of Massachusetts, at the request of the Bay State ^delegation, took the stage and responded 'feelingly in behalf of Massachusetts to this great tribute to her disinguished son. )Mr. Savage of Kentucky read the following telegram, which was warmly received: "The Hon. George Davis, Chairman of the Kentucky iDelegation—'Give us an equivocal Democratic platform of an old-time Democratic tl'cket and all will he well. William (Lindsey."

Savage said there was no more chance of 'Bryan carrying Kentucky than of the (Lord endorsing the anarchistic teachings of 'the Chicago convention.

John Dewfltt Warner of New York, a former member of congress and a leader in the Sound Money league, spoke for 'hits state. iHe declared that although New York Democrats were strong partisans, they did not Relieve that party loyalty required a man to be a weather •cock to find out where he was going that although some iNew York Democrats believed it to be their duty to vote for iMcX'lnley they were not in the delegation to this ..convention, nor in the masses -which the delegation represented. New York Democrats were equally.opposed' to the legitimate Re5u!blicaniism found in the Republican camp and the bastard IRe publican-ism drawn from- the (Democracy.

F. W. I/ehman, a portly, smoothfaced Missouri an, told the convention that (Democracy stoQd for equal opportunities for all and special privileges lo none.

W. D. Bynnm Welcomed.

Judge Moran. of Illinois then moved that the convention .:invite W. D. Bynum of Indiana to address the convention, as he had done more than any other to make- this convention a success. The motion was adopted with a whirl, and. Mr. Bynura's appearance on the platform- was received with prolonged applause. Mr. Bynum said he had no word£ to express his gratitude for this demonstration he received. He spoke of the ar&uotts. l^bor the preliminaries of th& convention had en-tailed and its (great success seemed, to him almost a dream.

And yet, he said, it was no{ surprising that a month should suffice to raise up this grea,t.protest against the treachery -at Chicago. He expressed the opinion that "this convention would not only preserve Democracy, 'but lift it to a higher plane and make it a 'better organization than it had been. The convention applauded when he told of his fufile, attempt to address a "so-called Democratic convention" in this hall a few weeks ago. In conclusion, he called upon this convention to continue the battle until -the polls closed.

When Mr. Bynum retired Mr. Eckels of (Illinois 'arose to -announce that the committee on resolutions had agreed on a platform and would report in a tew minutes, but the convention insisted on a speech and he .made his way to it-he stage. Mr. Eckels is a very effective speaker, and his remarks were continually interrupted by applause, He said: "Mr. Chairman, X/adies and Gentlemen—It seems to 'be a dangerous thing to arise in this convention. I am here simply to announce that the committee on platform had agreed and that there •would soon be presented by the distinguished senator -from the state of Wisconsin a platform which will add credit to this as-sem'bly. No one looking over those gathered here would dare assert that the Democratic party does not still represent the champion of the people's rights, the quick avenger of 'its iwrongs, -the best custodian of the liberty of our country. Here are gathered those who are met for conscience sake here are m-e-t those who are .not struggling tor the spoils of office -or moved by pride of public praise. We are here In no unkindly spirit^ toward any one. We deprecate the 'fact that a leadership lias taken possession of many of the misguided people of this country and forseliftlsh purposes-is committing them to great (financial and great national wrongs. We would extend to those who have been oarried off by spacious reasoning, hy pyrotechnic oratory, by the Jingling sound of a metaphor and the elegant expression of a phrase—such a platform and such candidates that he jw-ho runs may rea'd -the error of his way and find here sufficient of thfe true Democratic faith to once again ^desire to make this his haven of refuge and to here offer his obligations and his .blessing to the only true IDemocratic faith. (Applause.) If we haive accomplished that, this convention has not 'been in /vain.

John J.

Haincock 'befc-ause she was sat 'teifted wii'th his record, and would now ip'lace the banner in Palmer'® hands because she was satiibfied with his record.

California gave her time to Burr W. Jones of Wisconsin to eulogize the favorite son- of What state, General Bragg. "The hero of .fifty battles, the commander of the ".Iron. Brigade," was glowlngjydescribed. In conclusion, Mr. Jones exhorted the convention to let the 'brave old gentleman lead the battle.

Florida Comes Oat For Palmer. When /Florida was called J. E. Hortridge 'asked the privilege of making a statement. He was charged by his delegation, he said, to say that they Were sent here to set their seal of disapproval on a dollar that had an interrogation point behind it, and to condemn the combination of Populists, socalled ^Democrats and silverites. He thought the man who had been twice president of the United States was the best representative of the issue, but circumstances ^forbade his nomination. The voters of the world were listening for the voice of this convention, and he seconded the nomination of Senator Palmer. Thomas iF. Corrigan of Georgia also seconded (Palmer's nomination in a 'brief speech.

Illinois was passed. The other states were called, but none responded until Minnesota was reached, when F. W. McCutcheon took the platform. Until a few minutes before Minnesota had had a candidate in the person of the man who had raised the banner of true Democracy immediately after the Chicago convention, but Minnesota was now convinced there was but one man to place on the ticket with that sturdy old war horse of Kentucky, General Buckner, and he was General John M. Palmer of Illinois.

T. W. Lehman responded 'for Missouri He said that the Missouri delegation had been instructed for Colonel James O. Broadhead, but he had declined to permit the "use of his name, and M'lssouri was now for General

"We are foredoomed to defeat, he cried. "No, no." came irp in chorus.

The amount required by "the treasury da determlned hy the appropriations made by oongreea. The demand of the RepuhHcan party for an taereaae to -tariff taxation has its pretext in the deficiency of revenue, which has its causes In the stagnation of trade and reduced xhvaumption. due entirely to the loas of confidence -that has followed the Populist threat of free coinage and depredation of our .money and the ^Republican practice of extravagant appropriations beyond the needs of good government. We arraign and condemn the (Populiatlc convention® of Chicago and St. (Louis for their co-operation with the Republican party in creating these conditions, which are pleaded In Justification of a heavy increase of- the burdens of the people by a further resort to protection. We therefore denounce protection and .Its -ally—'free coinage of silver—-as scheme^ for the personal profit of a few at the expense of the masses, and oppose the two tpartiea which stand for these schemes as hostile to the people of the republic, whose food and shelter, comfont amd prosperity are attacked by higher taxes and depreciated money.

On the Tariff Question.

"In fine, we reaffirm the historic Democratic doctrine of tariff, for revenue only.

r,We

demand that henceforth modern

and liberal policies toward American shipping shall take the place of our imitation of the. restricted statutes of the elghiteenth century, whioh were long ago abandoned by every maritime power but 'the United States, and which, to the nation's humiliation, have driven American capital and enterprise to the use of alien flags and alien crews, have made the stars and stripes an almost untonown em'blem in foreign ports, and have virtually extinguished the trace of American seamen. We oppose the pretense that discriminating duties wMl promote shipping that scheme is an invitation to commercial warfare upon the United States, un-American in the light of our great commercial treaties, offering no gain whatever to American shipping, while greatly increasing ocean freights on our agricultural and manufactured :produots.

HAD TRAVELED BEFORE.

Uttle Story ot a Binplltoi aid Mnn *nd Meek Gondaotor, iHe got on at Sohmeotttdy. He -was la a .black hroadcloth suit and a dusty beaver hat. He -put his canvas covered handbag into the rack and opened a newspaper. He gave the conductor bis ticket, and settled himself to his seat. Then an idea whkfh he seemed to have forgotten .evidently came back to him suddenly. iHe took the bag down from the rack and drew out a neatly folded gray alpaoa ulster, a pair of brown cotton glovee and a black tslftk traveling1 cap. Somebody evidectly had prepared him for the journey and determined that he should lack no material aid -to enjoying himsef or Hooking Just as well as anybody he saw on the car. •He got into the clothes, put' on his ispeotac'laa and "began -to read his mews-! paper. But a change in ithe directum of the train brought him under the attentlon of a particularly zealoue ray ofi sunshine. He (fidgeted In his seat ana pulled down the blind, according to the New York Journal. Then he looked a'bout the car for another seat. The only one empty wa® at the upper end, eo he took down t'he canvas handbag and the -beaver hat and emigrated to the shady side of 'the car. The only trace of him -left to the eeat he had) vacated was the slip of paper given him' by the conductor when he too(k up his ticket.

When the conductor came through the car again he found the old man sound asleep, with the newspaper over •his face. The cap. the grieves, the ulster and the spectacles had changed hits appearance, so he was aroused and askedl for his ticket. "I gave you my ticket," the old fellow snapped out, "just after I got on." Then he put the newspaper over hie •face. ..." "iBut your check? Where's your check?" the conductor asked. •*I haven't any -check, and I don't wan't any," the old man said, after he had drawn the paper up fairly from his face. "I don't know anything about a check. I bought a ticket, and when 1 got on the train you asked me for jit. I gave It to you, and ..float settles It, Besides, I'm sleepy."

The conductor had entirety failed to recognize the old man in his new drees. The newspaper was over his face again I and no ticket was forthcoming. The conductor touched him again. "Where's you 'been sitting before?" the conductor aslked. "In the lirst seat 'from the other end," oitnc from behind the newspaper again. 'KBut don't ask me if It's still there or not. I -don't know and 'I don't care." "It was only for your own convenience that I gave you the chedk," said the conductor, "so I -wouldn have to ask you if you had your ticket every tim* I passed through the car."

This time the newspaper came down, and the old manVs eyes snapped at the conductor. "Never you mind my convenience," he said, "I never asked you to look out for that, and the ticket didn't ®ay anything about it. I can look out for my. own convenien'ce. I haven't been down to New York before since General Grent's funeral, but 'I know that when' you buy your ticket and give it to tho conductor there's nothing else to do. Ilm not under compulsion to take check from you. and I'm d—d If I will."

The conductor didn't answer, and? didn't want to. He had won an unuauat victory. Ho had the sympathy of the passengers in a discussion with one of them over a ticket, and he felt that was triumph enough. So he smiled while t'he old man slept behind -his newspaper. T!i* conductor not even tak% the satisfaction of arttirfg him at every station for his ticket. He allowed h'ra to ste-pp quietly.
