SYRACUSE , N Y. , Aug 31. The state
ronvcntlon of gold democrats met here to-
tiny Daniel G Grlllln of Watcrtowu was
chosen temporary chairman. In the course
of his speech ho said
"What are our grievances , and what
has been the cause of convent Ions like this
In every stnto In the union ? Why. the
Chicago convention threatened public wel
fare and dlshonoied demociacy In Its own
houdchcld and If we , In ordei to combat
that danger and avenge the Insult , arc com
pelled to act Independently of our party or
ganization then wo glory In our Irregularity.
To those who ask us why we do Hot sup
port McKlnley , our answer Is : Wo nre
dcmocrnls nnd not protectionists To those
' .vho snk us why wo do not support Bryan ,
our nnswei U still \ \ e are democrats and
not revolutionists
"McKlnley's dally teaching , that It Is the
duty of the government to provide and con
trol a market for every business enterprise.
nnd especially for the enterprises of Its
nearest neighbors , Is founded on the same
vicious Idea of governmental paternalism
which finds ovpusslon In no more objec
tionable foi in in the popullstlc demand for
governmental control of rallioads nnd tele
graphs and the other demand of the silver
mlnci that the government shnll also pro
vide nnd control n market foi his product
We deny that it Is the duty 01 the right of
the government to do either , nnd adhere to
the democratic , doctrine , thnt the gov em
inent shnll not lay Its hands on commerce
for any purpose except for revenue No
em rgency has yet nrlsen which requlies
democrats to tultlfy their convictions li
this respect by giving their support to t
candidate who typifies the extreme opposite
pollcv.
PARTLY ENDORSES M'KINLEY
"Insofar as the republican candidate ha
been coerced Into an unequivocal declaia-
tlon foi sound money , wo commend the In
lluences which have produced so satisfactory
a result , but when ho claims such mate ) lal
advantage ! ) for ourselves fiom reciprocity
v , Ith South Ameilcnn states we puiitfc to
Inquire If fair trade with coloied people
Is smh a good thing , why not with white
folks alone' '
"Tho chief charge we made against the
Chicago platform nnd whleli so far stands
undisputed bv its adheients and the can
dldatcs nominated thereon , Is that It pro
poses the fice and Independent coinage of
silver at a ratio f.u tn excess of Its com
mercial value and that such coin shall be
legal tendei In payment of debts No
matter how skillfully such doctrine may
bo advocated , nor how Its results may be
obscured by the arguments of demagogues
or doctrinaires , Its pinctlcal result can only
bo a debasement of the cuircncy and the
repudiation of obligations , the vvoist lesults
which can befall a eommuiclal people. And ,
fill thermore , the doctrine alluded to has
hitherto bton icpeatcdly spurned by the
founders of the democratic party and all
others qualified to deter its principles "
The usual committees were appointed ,
after which a -ccss was taken to 3 p m.
The committee on peimanent organization
met dining the ICCCSH and decided on
Charles P Knit child for permanent chairman
The following wcic selected as dclegales-at-
largo to the Indianapolis convention Ros-
vvell P Flow PI of New York , Charles Tiacy
of Albnnv , George McGec of Coining and
Edwtud SI eppard of Brooklyn
When the convention leconvened ox-Con
gressman Everett of Massachusetts spoke.
The report of the committee on credentials
was accepted nnd Mr Palrchlld r.-ndo a
brief speech The resolutions report wns
then presented nnd cndoised
REPUDIATES BRYVN.
The plntfoim at the outset declares thnt
the "maintenance * of the constitution In Its
Integrity ; the preservation of the national
credit unimpaired and the national honor
unsullied the fiecdom of the Individual to
engugo In all the pin suits of life unham-
pcied by the Intel fercnco of paternal gov
ernment nnd the right of overv citizen to
receive the rcwaid of his labor undlmlnlshod
by n delastment of the standard of value ,
are fundamental and essential principles of
the democratic party
Per the i en son that It violates and attacks
all these democratic principles the Chicago
platform Is repudiated , and the platform pro
ceeds

The platform deplores "tho outburst of sec
tional hato" and "the attempt to divide a
dcmocintlc people , nil standing with equal
rights and opportunities before the law , Into
rich und poor , " and proceeds to point out
the attacks of the Chicago platfoim on the
constitution nnd the democratic Institutions

The platform opposes "republican protec
tion as being exercised for the benefit of a
class , the mainstay of trusts , the parent of
monopoly , the fruitful source of lire-sent po
litical dangers which threaten the nation. "
In conclusion the platform says
As domoents loynl to IMP maintenance
of the constitution and zealous In our sup.
port of the rridlt and honor of our coun
try , we enniiot endorse the candid ites nom
inated nt Chicago or the rh implon of the

the appiouhlng convention nt Indlinnpolls

our hearty support , nnd WP Instruct our
delegates to that convention to use every
effort to bring about such nominations
Delegates to the Indianapolis convention
were elected , nnd the convention adjourned
to meet nt Brooklyn on September l5 ! This
Is construed to mean that a htato ticket

will bo received by the committee on reso

main object the retirement of the green

WAHOO , Neb. , Aug. 31 ( Special Tclo-
grnm ) The populist county convention to
day nominated a. county ticket with the
exception of county attorney , which was
left open for the democrats. A committee
chosen by the convention met a committee
of democrats to find what the democrats
wanted as the prlco of fusion. The demo
crats asked foi two places on the county
ticket. Iho convention decided that one
place was enough foi the democrats Hence
there are several mad democrats In town ,
who now decline that they will put up a
county ticket from start to finish The
democrats hold the balance of powei and
think that they are tntltlcd to at Iciibt. two
places on the ticket nnd do not propose to
go under the order of things Inaugurated
today The convention was stormy and did
not complete Its woik until G o clock this
evening \ number ot speeches weie made

adopted The following candidates vvcro

Commander-ln-Chlcf I. N Walker and staff
were expected on an early train nnd the

vas delavcd nnd not until noon were the
veterans able to welcome their chclf He
was at once escorted to the Rvnu hotel ,
where national headquarters weiu nt once
established , becoming the center of ( hand
Aimy activity.
There wns nothing In the program for
today besides the reception of Comimndcr-

to escort tlie veterans to thcjr quarters ami
see that they were propeily housed nnd
cared for The trains weie nearly all de-
lajcd and thu rush was thereby scattered
throughout the day more than would have
been otherwise possible.
As fast as one train discharged Its load
another took its place and the stream of
visitors passing through the big union de
pot bcemcd endless. Kverjwhere present
were the white-capped boys of the Informa

splto df the desperate efforts of the management -
ment to have e\erj thins complete when ,
the gntes were opened , they found that the
task was tea much for them In plto of
an energetic punching up of exhlbltois they

and with the usual result While nine-

Just enough left to be done In each buildIng -
