WKlMiLE OVER THE I'LATIOKM.
The
Unterrlfled Were In Session
All NIKht Hill and Boles
Were Not In the
Race.
Chicago, June L-i;Vtry man,
spectator or delegate, who held a
ticket, knew full well as lie went to
the wigwam thin afternoon that he
fore the session was over the battle
would be on. The atmosphere wan
charged heavily with moist lire.
Men in the galleries took off their
coatH, and how fie women main
tained life none but themselves
knew. The Xew York delegation
came first into the hall and a genu
ine Taminaiiy yell came from the
benches immediately behind the al
ternates. The cry of "Hill" went up,
but a sound like escaping steam
shot from the lloor and grew to a
whistling, hissing storm. The great
storm, however, snbsiled when
Wilson thumped the desk and the
session began. Rev. Thomas Green
offered prayer. At the conclusion
of the prayer tin? band rennered
"America." W. W. Van Diver of
Georgia moved that the convention
adjourn until Jl o'clock to-morrow.
The motion was lost. The an
nouncement was received with
cheers.
The ResolutlonsfOff erect.
During the time which elapsed af
ter the calling'of the convention to
order, ami before the committee on
resolutions were ready to report,
caucussing among the different
delegations progressed with great
activity. When the chairman an
nounced that the comir'ttee on res
olutions was ready to report, howls
of approval rose from all quarters.
Col. Jones, chairman of the commit
tee, mounted the platform amid
great cheers and said: "I am in
structed by the committee on reso
lutions to present, as the report of
the committee, the following reso
lutions and move their adoption."
Patterson of Colorado interrupted
witn the announcement that he
represented the minority of the
committee and wished to state that
the minority expected to be heard
before the previous question was
put.
Vilas of Wisconsin then read the
platform, in which the administra
tion of Cleveland was lauded and
the McKinley bill denounced.
Reciprocity also received its full
share of abuse. Thesilverquestion
was completely straddled. "We de
nounce the republican legislation
known as the Sherman act of ISiXJas
a makeshift, fraught with possibili
ties of danger in the future which
should make all of its supporters,
as well as its author, anxious for its
speedy repeal. We hold to the use
of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country and
to the coinage of both gold and sil
ver without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage."
The above is a pa-t of 4'ie!r silver
plank.
Jones moved the adoption of the,
platform as read, but Xeal of Ohio,
interrupted with an amendment to
the section relating to the tariff
moving to s ike out the section
pertaining to the tariff on words
preceeding the denunciation of ?Ic
Kinley and substitute therefor the
following;
"We denounce republican protec
tion as fraud. Cheers. It taxes
the labor of the great majority of
the American people for the bene
fit of the few. Cries of "Read it
Again." We declare it to be a fun
damental principle of f Me democrat
ic party that the federal govern
ment has no constitutional pow
er to impose and collect tariff du
ties except for purposes of revenue
only, and we demand that the col
lection of such taxes shall be limit
ed to the necessities of the govern
ment, when it is most economically
administered."
Watterson Opens Up.
In pursuance of a request, the sec
retary read the minority report,
amid applause. A demand being
made for the portion to be stricken
out, the secretary read the portion
relating to the tariff, after which
Xeal addressed the convention in
advocacy of his amendment. InVe
sponse to a call Henry Watterson
took the platform, his appearance
being greeted with prolonged
chees. He had read an extract from
the tariff plank of the national dem
ocratic convention of 197o, and after
ward, among other things, said:
"When I listened to the extraordi
nary essay we have heard this after
noon, I asked myself whether we
were indeed a democratic conven
tion or simply a republican conven
tion (laughter and applause) revised
by James G. Blaine or Benjamin K.

ened to are almost identical in nrin
ciple with the minority report nub.

Cries of "No, no," and "Vilas.""

distinguished Kentiickiau said in
reference to it: ft is an honest

tinning, said: "I do not propose to
enter into a debate or discussion as
to the particular form of words in
which we declare o;:r opposition to
tarilf legislation. I desire only to
suggest that if it please you, take
111 mis torm words and leave that
there also upon which Cleveland
was elected president."
The Trouble of 1 8S4-.
Watlerson replying to Vilas, said;
In 1SS1 the party seemed to be split
wide open, and after fifty-two hours
of unbroken discussion in the plat
form committee, the best that the
mutiei.iie a:m conse ative mem
bers of the committee, mvself
among the number, could obtain
as a common ground to stand upon
was the platform of 1SS4 in that con
vention. But since that time we
have a second Morrison bill, the
Mills bill, the message of the presi
dent in 1SS7, the great campaign of
euiicauou oi man, and, l say to my
self, my God, is it possible that in
lS'.rj we have got to go back for a
tarilf plank to the straddle of ISSIr"'
Jones took the platform and stat
ed, on behalf of the committee on
resolutions that they we are ready
to adopt the amendment of the gen
tleman from Omaha as as amend
ment to the tariff section.

The snap convention and Tam

upon.
As was generally expected the
democrats have repeated their
doings of four years ago and have
igain nominated Grover Cleveland
for president and it only remains
now to see whether Hill will keep
his word or whethei he will
into line and support Cleveland.
The democrats have done just
what the republicans wished them
to do. They have nominated
Cleveland for president. He is the
weakest man they could have selected.
The democrats held a late session
last night. At 3:25 this morning
they Nominated Cleveland on the
first ballot for their candidate for
president. He received GIGV2 votes
and Hill received only 112 votes.
