THK I'l.ATFOKM.
Tho Democratic party of tlio United
States, In national convention assembled,
renews Its pledge of lldollty to tlio Demo
cratic, faith, and realllruis tho platform
adopted by Its representatives In tho con
vention of 1884, and endorses tho vlows
expressed by President Cleveland, In his
lust annual messiiKO to confess, as the
act nnd execute tho lawsand aro charged
with tho duty of preserving the peace,
Insuring equality and establishing Just
ice The Domocrntlo party welcomes
an exacting scrutiny of the administra
tion of tho executive powr, which
four yenra ago was committed to Its
trust, In tho election of Orover Cleve
land president of tho United States, and
It challenges a most searching Inquiry
concerning Its lldellty and devotion to
tho pledges which then Invited tho suf
frages of the people during n most crit
ical porlod of our llnanclnl atrnlrs, result
ing from over-taxation, tho anomalous
condition of our currency, and a public
debt unmatured. It has avoided a disaster
and groatly promoted tho prosperity of
tho people. It has rovorseu tlio ltnprovi
dent and unwise policy of the Republican
party touching tho public domain, niid
has reclaimed from corporations nnd syn
dlcates, alien and domestic, and restored
to tho people 100,000,000 acres of land,
to bo sacredly held as homestendH for our
citizens, while carofuliygimraingtno in
cuizcns. "'""" kuhiuk "
lr . ., "S . "i'"J"B """ ;-""'" ""
strictly to tho principles of Justlco nnd
equity, It has paid out more for pensions
and bounties to soldiers and sailors of
tho republic thnn was over paid before
during an equal period. Hy Intelligent
management nnd judicious and econom
ical expenditure of public "money, It has
nt on foot the reconstruction
of the American navy upon u
system which forbids a recurrence
of scandal and Insures successful results.
It has adopted and consistently pursued
n llrm and prudent foreign policy, pre
serving peace with nil nations whllo
scrupulously maintaining all the rights
nnd Interests of ourown governmentiind
people, at homo nnd abroad. Tho ex
clusion from our shores of Chinese labor
ers has been elTeetually secured under
tho provisions of n treaty, the operation
of which has been postponed by tho ac
tion of tho Republican majority In tho
seunte. Honest reform In tho civil
service has been Inaugurated and main
tained by President Cleveland, and ho
has brought tho public service to tho
highest standard of elllcleucy, not only
by rulo and precept, but by example of
his own untiring and unselfish adminis
tration of public affairs. In every branch
nnd department of tho government under
Democratic control tho rights und wel
fare of nil tho peoplo have been
guarded und defended. Kvery public In
terest has been protected, and equnllty
of all our citrous before tho law, with
out regard to race or color, has been
stendfasfly maintained. Upon Its record
thus exhibited, nnd upon n pledge of Its
continuance to the people of the bcuollts
of good government, the national Democ
racy Invokes a renewal of popular trust
by tho re-election of a chief maglstrnto
who has been faithful, able and prudent.
They Invoke, In addition to that trust,
tho transfer to the Democracy of tho en
tire legislative power. Tim Republican
party, controlling the senate and resist
ing In both houses of cougress reforma
tions of unjust and unequal tax laws,
which hnvo outlasted tho necessities of
war and are now undermining thu abund
ance of a long peace, deny to the peoplo
equality before the law and the fairness
and Justice which aro their right. Thus
tho cry of American labor for a better
share of tho rewards of Industry is
stilled with false pretenses, enterprise Is
fettered und bound down to homo
markets, capital Is disturbed with doubt,
nnd tho unequal, unjust laws can neither
bo properly amended nor repenled. The
Democratic party will continue with
all tho power conlldod to it to
struggle to reform these laws In ac
cordance with the pledges of Its last
platform, endorsed at tho ballot box by
tho suffrages of tho people. Of all tho
industrious freeman of our laud, an Im
mense majority, Including every tiller of
the soil, gain no advantage from exces
Blvo tax laws; but tho prlco of nearly
everything they buy Is Increased by the
favoritism of an unequal system of tux
legislation. All unnecessary taxutlun Is
unjust taxation. It is repiigunut (o the
creed of Democracy that by such taxation
the cost of tho nc pessaries of life would
bo unjustly Increased to nil our people
Judged by Democratic principles, tho In
terests of the
people nre betrayed when,
by unnecessary taxation, trusts mid com
blnatlons uro permitted and foster, d
which will unduly enrich tho few tlm
combine to rob our citizens by depriving
them of tho benollt of natural competi
tion. Kvery Democratic rulo of govern
mental action Is violated when, through
unucccshury taxation, u vast sum of
money, fur beyond tho needs of an econom
ical administration, is drawn from tho
people 11ml tho channels of trade mid no
cumulated an a demoralizing surplus lu
tho national treasury. The money
now lying idle in tho fedorsl treas
ury, resulting from superlluous taxation,
amounts to more than (125,0(10.000, ami
the surplus collected lu reaching the sum
of more than 1110,000,000 annually. De
bauched by this Immense temptation,
the remedy of tho Republican party was
to meet ami exhaust it by extravagant
legislation. The Democratic remedy Is to
enforce frugality In public expenditure
and abolish unnecessary taxation. Our
established douifotle industries and en
terprises coti.d not and need not bo en
langered by a reduction and correction
of tlio burdens of taxation on tho coun
try. A fair ami careful revision of our tax
laws, with duo allowance for difference
between tlio wages of American nud for
eign labor, must permit and encourage
every branch of Industry and enter-
prise by giving them the assurance
of 1111 extended market and steady
nnd continuous operation. In the
Interest of Amortcnu labor, which should
In no event be neglected, tho revision of
our tax law Is contemplated by tho Dom
ocrntlo party, mid to promote the nil
vantage of such labor by cheapening tho
necessnrles of life in tho homo of every
workiuguuin, ami at tho snino titno so
curing to him steady and remunerative I
employment. Upon this question of tar
In" reform, so closely concerning every
phnso of our national Hie, rum upon every
question involved In the problem of
good government, tho Democratic party
submits lis principles and professions to
tho Intelligent suirrngcs of tho American
people.
Hon. 1 V. Lehman, of Iowa, received
an ovation when he mounted the plat
form to submit a resolution declaring the
territories of Dakota, Washington, Mon
tana and New Mexico were entitled to

condemning tho notion of tho party in
excluding them. This resolution went
through with enthusiasm.

AM.KX (. THURMAN.
Mr. Thurman wns born In Lynch
burg, Vn., Nov. l!l, 18111. In 1810 ho re
moved to Ohio, where he received an no
adomlc education, studied law, and was
admitted In 1825. Ho was a nephew of
tho distinguished statesman, Hon. Will
iam Allen, who for mauy years repre
sented Ohio lu tho United States senate,
and Inter was elected governor over (Sun.
Noyos. Mr. Thurman soou acquired n
largo practice, his mind being highly
analytical and judical, properties which
give to a clientage the largest contldence.
Tho Democracy of his district, recogniz
ing his aptitude for public affairs, nomi
nated nnd elected him to tho 20th con
gress. In 1851 he was elected a member
of the supreme court, und from 1851 to
1850 wns Its chief justice. In 1807 he
was tho camlldato of his party for gov
ernor, but wns defeated. In 18(18 ho was
elected United States senator for the
term 1800 to 1875. In 1871 ho wns re
elected for the term which ended In 1881.
In tho senate he was a laborious worker,
and, although a partisan, eminently fair.
He was u leading member of tho judi
ciary committee, nnd on the commiteo on
postronds nnd postolllces. In 1870 ho
wns prominently mentioned us u candi
date for president, but the Tllden wave
engulfed him with tho others.
CONGRATULATING THURMAN.
Coi.UMliUs, O., Juno 8. Mr. Thurman
wus advised of the action of tho conven
tion lu the afternoon about i! o'clock, by
a reporter, lie had arisen earlier than
usual In tho day and received a number
of messages from St. Louis through his
son Allen, announcing the certainty of
his nomination. When Ilrst told of his
nomination Mr. Thurman expressed
Ills pleasure and gratitude. Ho snhl that
from the tlrst tima his name was men
tioned for tho second place on tho ticket
ho did everything to stop it, but it
Hcemed that it was impossible to ovnr
como It. An lmmcnso concourse of peo
ple, und the Kaudall club, of Pennsylva
nia, marched to his residence, to offer
their congratulations, and being called
ou for a speech, Judge Thurmun said
MY KllIKNDS AMI FKI.LOW ClTIZIiNS:
j I sincerely thank you for this inaulfesta
tton of your good will and esteem. It
hna been well said, find what 11 man Is
thought of by his neighbors and vou can

from this demonstration, 11s well as from
all the nets of kindness that I have re
ceived from the people of Columbus for
mure than a third of a century, I may in
dulgo In the hope that I stand well lu
the affections of my neighbors, great

1 hnvo every reason to bellove from the
attendance here of that splendid body of
men, the Ituudnll club of Philadelphia,
cheering that I stand well lu that
grand old state which used to bo called
the keystone of the Democratic arch,

long will become that keystone ugain,
then 1 have more thnn over reason to
congratulate myself and believe that 1
stand well with my fellow men. My
friends, 1 should bo the most Insensible

did not feel grateful for the kindness
that you have manifested towards mo

a very young uiau,l might say not 11 mnu
I nt nil for tho Mist stump speech 1 ever

then I always endeavored to keep a civil
tongtto In my head. I always recognized
the right of every man to his own think
ing, and If he would only think honestly
nnd bo as tolerant of mo as I wns of him
there would he no harsh words fall from
my lips In respect to htm. And, no now,

but a feeling of kindness. It wns their
right, If they thought some other man

It was their right to think so. They

I which set 11 magnificent example for all
