who imroaucing Mr. v. r, waibriage,
President of the City Council of fot.

tbetie and meat happily worded address
welcoming the convention on behalf of

Upon the atage or in the front ranks
of the delezates were Pres. L. L. Polk.
and ei-Preeident John H. Powers of the
southern and northern Farmers Al
Uanee; Terence V. Powderly, Grand
Master workman of the Knights of La

author, C, C. Post, and congressman
Livingstone of Georgia, and with the
rest Miss Prances E. Williard, intellect
uaily the greatest and morally the
grandest of women, with many more
which might be mentioned. Never be
fore were so many intelligent lovers of
justice (and bent on securing it) gath
ered together. Every delegate realized
the crisis, and "believed in his soul that
h sat there as a history maker.
The address of welcome contained the
following opening paragraph:
If my memory series me correctly I
saw some weeks ago a notice in tne daily
papers of the obsequies of the Farmers'
Alliance and peoples' party. Judging
from the display before me u must
have been a mistake, Newspapers gen
erallv tell the truth but sometimes typo
graphical errors slip in. At any rate if I
were a candidate for office I think I
should give the elements represented
here to-day credit for having a little
vitality left.
The first to respond was Pres. Polk
of the Alliance who, afier thanking the
city of et. Louis for Its friendly greet
ing, said

wheat at U per cent, why cannot the
same thing be done in the west? "uod

THIS COMMOH rtATFOEM.

"We demand a national currency.
safe, sound and flexible, issued by the
general government only, as full legal
tender for debts, public ana private.
and that without the use of banking
corporations; a just, equitable and effi
cient means ot distribution direct to tne
People and not to exceed 20 per cent to
be provided us set forth in the sub-treas
ury plan of the farmers alliance or aome
better system; also ny payment in dis
charge 'of its obligation for public im
provements. We demand a free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
We demand that the amount of circu
lating medium be speedily increased to
not less tnan eau per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax
We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as pos
sible in the hands of the DeoDle. and we
demand that all state and national reve
nue shall be limited to the necessary ex
pense of the government, economically
and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government for
the sate deposit for the earaings of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
Tne land, including all the natural
sources of wealth, is tne heritage of all
the people and should not be monopo
lized for special purposes, while alien
ownership ot land should be prohibited.
All lands now held by railroads and
other cor poiations in excess of their
natural needs, and all lanas now owned
by aliens should be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only.
Transportation being a means of ex
cfcange and a public necessity, the gov
ernment should own and operate the
railroads in the interest of the people.
The telegraph and telephone systems
being another necessity lor tne trans
mission of news, should be owned and
operated by the government in the in
terest of the people.
We demand that the government
issue legal tender notes to pay the
union soldiors the difference between
the price of the depreciated money in
which he was paid in and gold.
Jtesolttd, That we hail the conference
as the consummation ot uerfect union
of hearts and hands of all the sections
of our common country. The men who
wore the gray and the tneu who wore
the blue are here to eUinguisb the last
smouldering embers of civil war in the
tears of joy ot a happy and united peo
ple, and we agtee to cany the stars and
stripes forward ever to tht highest point
of national greatness.'
Over the liquor question there was a
protrao'.ed struggle. A luiuority report
signed by M1k Willatd, Dr. Fish editor
and read by Mmij Willard, demanding
no sex uminciion id sunrage, and pro
hibition, precipitated the dbcusatun.
The convention was nearly even divided
but refused to adopt. A compromise
iiieaauro proposed by Mi-. Curtis ot the
Colorado K.of L , reading as follows, was
adopted:
We demand that the question of uni

continued applause. General Sickles
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred in choosing him to preside
Aval iai3n1ihoi.aHmia t' ; .
After reviewing .thb'cofa-Of the
Democratic party in New York the reso
lutions strongly urge Uovernor rilii as
the next Democratio presidential candi
date. At the reading of the resolution
instructing the delegation to present the
name of Senator Hill there was pro
longed applause. John It. Fellows
moved that Senator Hill be invited to
address the convention, and that com
mittee of three be appointed to escort
him to the hall. The chairman appoint
ed Messrs. Fellows, Adams and Man
ning. At 4:56 Senator Hill armeared at the
head of the aisle escorted by the Fel
lows committee. JUis appearance was
greeted with prolonged applause, most
of the great audience standing and
waving hats and handkerchiefs. The
senator took a seat on the platform.
When the convention had quieted Chair
man Sickles introduced the senator as
the next president of the United States,
The introduction was the signal for re
newed cheering. The senator read from
manuscript a carefully prepared speech.
It is said the plan of campaign of the
provisional state committee, so tar as
determined, is to get 100,000 signatures
of Democratic voters throughout the
state to a pledge against Hill and lay
this monster pledge before the Chicago
convention.
, Convention Comment.
New York, Feb. 23. Newspaper
comment on the convention at Albany
is generally to the effect that Hill will
find it difficult to keep his forces to
gether until the Chicago convention,
and that he has not improved his
chances in other states by the proceed
ings. The Sun, Hill's principal suppor
ter, makes no comment on the conven
tion. Falmer tor Cleveland.

Bexsos, Ari., Feb. The announce-
ment was made by a prominent Mexi
can official of Sonora that the new sur
vey of the international boundary line
between Mexico and the United States,
would throw at least sixty miles of
American territory nnuer Mexican Jn
riwlic tion. Such a reenlt would include
nearly all that portion of Arizona below
the thirty-third degree aud of California
below tha thirtv-fourth decree. It in
cludes the towns of Nogales, Tombstone,
Tucson, Wilcox, Uensou, una
Bend and Yuma in Arizona, and
San Diego, Cal besides the entire line
of the Southern Pacitio in Arizona, the
United States Mititary reservation at
Fort Hauchuca. and millions ot dollar'
worth of mining property. The state
ment is considered entirely too sweeping
and is not generally credited. Captain
Fiuley and Major Logan, U. S. A., are
now at Fort Bliss, Texas, with two
companies of soldiers and a corps of
19U men preparing to begin ine nnai
survey. It will be thorough and will

Washington, Feb. 23. Speaking of
tbe wool tariff bill unanimously agreed
upon by the Democratio members of
the ways and means committee of the
house, Chairman Springer says:
If the bill become a law the effect will
be to place th lowest tax on articles
which are, consumed by the poorer peo
ple. Under theMcKinley bill the reverse
was true, the highest tax being linpoaed
on tbe good worn by the masse. Under
thia bill the pool man' blanket
will b taxed S3 and 85 per cent.
aa against 70.03 aud 110 per cent-,
under the McKiuley act. Carpet will be
taxed .10 per cent., a against an average
of over tiO per cent, under tbe law enacted
by the last Republican congress. The
