The democratic state convention concluded
tonight after being In session continuously
nil day. It was n silver convenllon note-
worlhy for the budding of a boom for John
U. McLean for the presidential nomination
at Chicago. Ot the 073 delegate's , CI2 voted
for free silver and CIS for McLean. Three
men were mentioned by the delegates as
Ohio's favorites for the Chicago nomination
McLean , Campbell and Bookwaltcr. Ex-
Governor Campbell had been a favorite un
til the silver tidal wave struck the stale ,
but he was considered too conservative on
Iho silver quesllon. When cx-Govcrnot
Campbell and his friends arrived hero anil
found Iho senllment drifting for McLean
nnd Bookwalter , they supported the former ,
defeating Hookwalter In a hot fight for dulo-
trates and thus ending the Bookwaltcr booir
nnd leaving the field , so far as Ohio is con
cerned to McLean , with the unit rule an
nexed. There wore at first two opposing
movements , one to Instruct for Cailipbel
and the other to Instruct for Bookwalter
The "McLean men worked hard to prevom
Instructions for any ono and their next
movement was to keep rival delegates fron
hclng selected as delegate ! ) . They hai
their way In the preliminary wort
of Iho district and committee meet
Ings yesterday and loday In tin
convention. They named all the delegate !
nnd state candidates and dictated the plat
form. Tonight the McLean boom for prcsl
dent Is no longer under cover. It Is cur
rently reported that Senator Blackburn ol
Kentucky and others outsldo ot the stall
are In the McLean movement. John R
McLean Is proprietor of Iho Cluclnnal
Inquirer and has been advocating free sll
vcr for years In his paper. L. E. Holdei
Is proprietor of the Morning Plain Dcalc
nnd the Evening Post at Cleveland , and hai
also been an ardent advocate ot free sliver
General Flnloy , while In congress , was ai
ardent silver man and so also was Genera
A. J. Warner , who presided over Iho convcn
\ lion. The champion of free silver In tin
state In recent years has been Allen A\
Thurman , who kept up a silver organlzalioi
In Ohio when that element was In th
minority at the democratic conventions. H
Is a son of llic late Allen G. Thurman , win
ran on the ticket with President Clevoluni
In 1888 , and was for twelve years scnato
from Ohio. The fathers of Thurman am
McLean were bitter political enemies dur
Ing their lives and the sons never got th
ground till the present silver campaign
Chllton A. White , who heads the tlcke
for secrelary of state , served In congrcs
during Lincoln's administration , und was i
close political friend of Clement L. Valllnd
ingham. He has not participated In politic ;
since the civil war till recently , when In
took an active part In promoting free sll
ver. The kcynoto of Iho convcjillon wa
that ono Issue. The temporary and porma
ncnt chairmen and all other speakers re
ferrcd to nothing else and the plalforr
covers only that ono issue.
PLATFORM WITH ONE ISSUE.
It was after 10 o'clock when the con
ventlon was called to order by Chairman \
A. Smallcy. During the morning members c
the committee ou resolutions were workln
on the phraseology of the ono rcsolutloi
The only thing in the platform was th
resolution on silver and an attachment fo
Ihe unit rule involving the silver questlo
at Chicago. But there were wide diffoi
cnccs on enforcing the unit rule and as t
the words to be used In expressing the on
Idea of the convenllon. There was no rel
erenco lo the republican legislature c
state administration.
While there was nothing In the platfon
but silver , the same Issue alone controllc
all other committees and preliminary mecl
Ings. The state central committee wa
reorganized , with W. W , Durbln of Kcnto
as chairman , and John A. Rule ot Clt
clmmll as secretary , both original radlct
free silver men , This commlttei
as well OB the other commltlees , stoo
2 to 1 for free silver. The temporary an
permanent chairman ami all the olllcers e
the convention were radical silver men , an
the gold minority complained of their Ireal
memt.
The convenllon was called to order at 10:3 :
l > y Chairman Matt Smallcy , who Introduce
Itov. Dr. FIshburn of Columbus , who In
yoked dlvlno blessing. The temporary 01
( Miilzallon was announced and Colonel W. /
Taylor , Iho lemporary chairman , read hi
speech ,
Hon. William A. Taylor , who was al th
head of the democratic state ticket as th
candidate for secretary of state In 1832 , an
came within less than 1,000 votes of cle (
tlon , was Introduced as the temporary clmli
man. In n keynote speech , ho did not rcfe
to anything but the silver question. Afte
Klvlng a history of the unsuccessful efforl
for free silver al other state conventions I
Ohio , nnd reviewing eloquently the contci
ut Ihe pasl few weeks In the state , ho cloee
as follows :
SPEAKS ONLY OF SILVER.
"There Is but ono great IBSUO before th
American people , compared with which a
other Issues are as molehills to a mouatal
and that Is the Issue between the America
people and the allied money power of th
world whether the metallic basis of on
currency shall be so compressed and cor
'ccntrated that U may bo held by the monc
power to the detriment , debosemcnt and 01
clavcment of the many , whether the producl
of our mines shall bo used to break the Ic
fetters that have closed up the channels <
commerce , until our harvests have boconi
also Intensified by their plentltude.
"Upon this question you are to muko di
llveranro , In plain , torso and umnlstakabl
terms. You have been Instructed there )
from every county , from every clly , froi
eivery town , from every hamlet , from over
crossroad , and from the shadow of ever
school IIOUHO In Ohio.
"You have no war to make on capita
1 You will make no war upon It. You Inten
to ropcrt Us rights , and you Intend It sba
respect your rights. If you did more or dl
leas than thcfco things you would bo ut
worthy the title of Americans.
"You did not array a section of the cout
try ngalnet all the rest on this flnanch
question. . Others did that against yoi
earnest and unavailing appeals for the rccoi
nit Ion of the mutual rights of all.
"So shape your actions as to send Ohio I
Chicago as the leader of the people's right ;
for what you declare hero today will bo d <
clared at Chicago for the whole countr :
and that In turn will bo ratified by the peopl
on the 3d of November. "
Colonel Taylor's declaration for free colt
ngo at 1C to 1 guvo the silver advocates the !
first opportunity to cheer and they did :
vociferously. After Colonel Taylor ha
flnistu'd , Reuben Turner of Tuscaruwa
county was recognized. Ho threw the cot
ventlon Into a turmoil ot hUses and derlslv
shouts by saying : "Looking down on thl
convention U that arch traitor lleueclk
Arnold of democracy , Crover Cleveland. " II
wanted the portrait removed. For HOIII
* moments Mr. Turncy wan hUeed so that 1'
V could not proceed , but ho finally moved tha
A. W. Patrick , who represented the mluorlt
report on resolutions for nllver last yen
and a well known silver advocate of Tuscan
was county , he luvlted to the state. Th !
caught the silver men , nnd the motion car
ried. Judge Patrick made n free coinage
speech.
The gold men fought the report on rules
because It referred all resolutions without
debate nnd claimed that this rule had been
Injected after the commlttio had agreed
on Us reporl. The report was adopted
after various amendments and dilatory
measures wcro defeated. After the report
of the committee on permanent organization.
General A. J. Warner wns escorted to the
chair as Ihe presiding olnccr and was re
ceived with an ovation.
WARNER'S SILVER PLEA.
General Warner was Introduced as an
apostle ot 1C to 1. He urged all lo sac
rifice personal preferences and all other mat.
tcrs for the silver Issue. The people had
made the Issue nnd the St. Louis conven
tion had emphasized the Issue by adopting
a single gold standard. The lines wore
never so distinctly drawn. There was no
longer any doubt about what would bo done
at Chicago on the Issuo. He urged all ad
vocates ot the bimetallic standard of the
fathers of the constitution to unite on ono
ticket as well as on one Issue. Ho Insisted
that this union of the people , regardless
of party alliance , against Ihe gold stand
ard money power wns now the duty of
the hour. It would save the people from
becoming n homeless tenantry , while the
rich were becoming richer by the Increasing
value of gold. The values of all that the
oeoulo possess are decreasing , while the
unit.cf foreign money are Increasing.
After the report on credentials was
ndoptod without opposition , the following
nnjorlty report on resolutions was pre
sented :
'Wo ' , the democrats of Ohio In convention
assembled , hold that the money question
s the vital nnd paramount Issue now be
fore the people of this country , and that Us
early and correct settlement Is necessary
to the revival of business and the return of
prosperity ; therefore ,
"Resolved , Thai wo are unalterably op
posed to the single gold standard , nnd de
mand an Immediate return to the constitu
tional money ot gold and silver by the
rcstorallon by this government. Independent
of other nallons , ot Iho unrestricted coinage
of both silver nnd gold Into standard money
at the ratio of 10 to 1 , and upon the terms
of exact equality existing prior to 1873 ;
such silver coin to be a full legal tender ,
equally with gold eoln , for all debts nuel
duos , public nnd private.
"Resolved , That the dclegates-at-large to
be chosen by this convention and the dele
gates for Ihe national convention from the
several congressional dlslrlcts be and arc
hereby Instructed by all honest means to
secure the adoption of the principles con
tained In the foregoing resolution by the
national democratic convention to bo hell1
at Chicago July 7 , nnd to vote for candidates
for presjdenl and vice president who arc
known to bo In full accord therewith ; and
to accomplish these ends to cast the votes
from the state of Ohio as a unit , as a ma
jority may determine. "
REFUSE MORE PLANKS.
The gold men moved to strike out the
unit rule Instructions , but wcro voted down
by vivo voce vote amid much disorder. J
C. Patterson of Dayton presented a mln&r'tJ '
report , covering the Monroe doctrine , elec
tion of senators by the people , Cuban ques
tion , tariff reform , personal liberty and al
the usual declarations of democrallc state
conventions , Including llic reafilrmatlon o
the national platform of 1S92. The republlcai
leglslaluro and state administrations were
strongly denounced. No reference to the
financial question was .made and Mr. Patterson
torson said It was left out in the interest o
harmony. The minority report was signet
by four members and the majority repor
by sixteen members ot the committee.
The minority report was promptly do
fcated. Another motion to strike out the
unit rule resolution was made and enter
talncd. It was promptly defeated , when the
gold men demanded a call of the counties
on the adoption of the majority report
resulting : yens , 542 ; nays , 128.

Mount Vernon and Gilbert Shaiiklln of
Evansvllle wcro prcBonted for delegates at
laigo. Menzles Is a gold advocate and
Shaiiklln favors free silver. The conven
tion plainly favored Shanklln , hut Shauklln
made a speech of withdrawal , giving as his
reason that ho had been Informed that
Governor Matthews favored Menzlcs and
the latter would be faithful to the conven
tion's Instructions at Chicago. Mr. Shaiik
lln was not further consldere-d , though his
withdrawal was a disappointment to a ma
jority of the delegates.
MINORITY GOLD REPORT.
The committee on credentials reported it
favored the free silver contestants In the
majority of cases. A minority report was
filed by the gold advocates.
The minority report of the committee on
credentials signed by John W. Kerens , mem
ber for the Seventh ( Indianapolis ) district
dissented from that part of the majority
report which recommended the seating of
any of the contesting delegates In the Fifth
Tenth- Twelfth , Thirteenth and Fifteenth
wards of Indianapolis , for the reason that the
report of the majority amounted to dls-
franchlsmcnt ot thousands of loyal democrats
In Indianapolis.
The majority report recommended that con-
tcstccs In each of the wards named
be permitted to retain their seats as
members of the convention. The reporl
protests against the committee on cre
dentials making any report touching the
action of the Seventh district convcntlor
In the selection of delegates to the natloua
convention ; that this matter was not within
the Jurisdiction of the committee on
credentials. At lt:55 : the convention took a
recess for twenty minutes and the Seventl
district withdrew from the convention for
the purpose of preparing a report.
For the first time in the history of a po
litical convention In Indiana , a woman
delegate , fully and duly accredited , was on
the floor. She was Mrs. A. D. Loach of
Sullivan. She Is a lawyer by profession.
When the convention was again called to
order , the report of the Seventh delegation
was presented to the convention. The gold
men organized last night , and the silver
wing bolted. Dy the ruling on contests
today the gold faction of the Seventh dis
trict was practically out of It. The report
reviewed the proceedings of the district
meeting hold last night.
PLATFORM AS ADOPTED.
Following the report of the committee
on credentials the committee on resolutions
presented the platform as follows :
Wo rcatllrm our adherence to the faith
ful democratic doctrine of bimetallism , and
therefore wo demand the unrestricted coin
age of both silver and gold as primary
money at the ratio of 10 to 1 without wait
ing the co-ojeration of Great Britain or any
other foreign power , all such coinage to bo
full legal tender. In payment of all debts ,
public and private.
Wo bellevo the existing tariff laws will
be fully equal to all demand for needed
revenue for the expenses of the government
economically administered under" the con
ditions which will arise from the restora
tion of bimetallism.
We are opposed to the redemption nnd
Dual cancellation of United States notes
( greenbacks ) or any other notes or certifi
cates Issued by the United States to circu
late an money , such redemption and can
cellation necessarily Involving an Increase
of the public debt by the Issue of bonds
und the reduction of the currency , Wo
demand a sulllclcnt , stable volume of
money , eold , silver and paper , to meet the
requirements of our ever-growing popula
tion.
tion.Wo protest against the Increase of the
public debt by the Issue of IntereHt-bearlnn
lionds or otherwise In a tlmo of peace , iiml
if the redemption clause of the so-called
Sherman resumption act of 1ST5 authorizes ,
as Is claimed , the rlirht of the Treasury de
partment to Issue Interpst-benrins bonds
without limit , without the express nnd
definite authority of congress as to each
Issue of such bonds we demand that the
provisions of such act bo unconditionally
repealed.-
The democratic party has never believed
that the public debt was a public blessing.
We demand that obligations of the govern
ment of every form bo paid and bo re
deemed In conformity \vlth the laws under
which they wore Issued , In coin , gold 01
silver , at the option of the government ol
the United Stilton and not at the option ol
the creditor.
Wo believe that the pension Is a vested
rlfihtVo heartily endorse the rule ol
Commissioner Murphy that no name shnl
bfi rtrbllfarlly dropped from the rolls , am :
the * fact of cnllHtmc'iH nnd service shoubl
bo deemed conclusive evidence ngiilnsl
prior disease and disability.
We bullevB that public wnr exists In Cubn
and that the parties thereto ought to be
accorded nil the rights of belligerents.
We earnestly commend Governor Mat-
thewH , In full confidence of tlio success ol
hlH election , to the democracy of the I'nltrc
Stairs as a candidate for the presidency
and the delegates from Indiana to the na
tional convention are hereby Instructed tc
cust their vote In his favor for president
first , last and all the time , and to use all
honorable efforts to secure his nomina
tion.
tion.Tho thirty delegates strictly to rcnroscnl
the democracy of Indiana In the Chicago
national convention arc Instructed to vote
as a unit upon nil questions Involving plat
form or candidate In the convention.
CONFUSION IN THE CONVENTION.
While the platform was being read there
was much applause and the reference tc
free silver was the occasion for the greatest
cheering of the day. When It was moved
that the previous question bo demanded
and the platform adopted there was a wild
fcccne.
Ex-Congressman Hynum rose to protest ,
but was cried down , The platform was then
adopted.
Senator Turpie then appeared on the
platform. Ho was wildly cheered. At this
stage Mr. Uynum again protested and de
manded that Chairman Dell read the rules.
There were erics of "Hear Hynum" and
"No. "
Finally , when Mr. Turpie spoke , ho spoke
In favor of free silver. He said bllver had
been degraded by legislation and it could be
restored In the nauio way. When Senator
Turpie had concluded his remarks Mr. Hy-
iium'a friends again demanded to be hca'rd.
The confusion became so great that one
delegate demanded that the galleries bu
cleared. He was cried down. While dozens
of delegates were on their feet endeavorIng -
Ing to attract the choir's attention In the
midst of this unusual scene the chair an
nounced that the roll call would be begun
for the nomination of a governor. The roll
call could not be proceeded with , however ,
and the convention was In a state of chaos.
After Mr , Oynum had maintained his
stand lu the aisle for twenty minutes and
tlit * cormhtlon was still uproarious be
voluntarily returned 'to hie scat In the
Seventh delegation. '
Ex-Congressman John R. I-nmb then
moved that Mr. Oynum be heard for five
minutes.
The chairman ordered the sergeants-al
arms to clear the aisles. They were
proceeding to do so when they wcro op
posed by the police. There was a riotous
scone and It looked for a few minutes as
though Kilkenny times \tcro at hand.
Here Clmlriinn Dell mndo a pacifying
speech. He said ho had no choice In the
matter and If In the regular order. It It was
the will of the convention that Mr. Dyntim
be heard , he had no voice against him. Mr.
Lamb's motion to suspend the rules for five
minutes and listen to Mr. Hynum called
forth a demand for a roll call ,
Mr. Hynum received two/thlrdB of the votes
and was escorted to the platform.
Mr. Uynum said ho had proposed to offer
as an amendment for the first resolution
ot the platform the declaration enunciated
by the democratic national contention It1
1892 , holding to the use ot both gold and
silver as the standard money of the Country
and the coinage of both gold and Oliver with ,
out discrimination against either metal or
charge for mintage. The resolution , Mr.
Dynum said , was adopted by the last I'cmo-
cratlo national committee by a most over
whelming Vote. The subsequent acHon of
that convention , he continued , In nominat
ing Cleveland , with his well known views ,
removed all doubts as to that platform.
Indiana , with the full knowledge ot the posi
tion of Mr. Cleveland , endorsed him as a
candidate. If this was1 democracy four
years ago , It under thin banner Inscribed
with this principle , In the hands ot a man
that was never known to capitulate for
terms or cease to wage warfare until every
thing was won , won the greatest political
triumph In 1892 why should we turn our
backs upon that resolution now ?
Nominations wore then .declared In order.
The names of UcnJamln F. Shlvcly and Gll-
bert F. Shanklln Were proposed for governor.
Mr. Shanklln arose and Bald ho was not a
candidate nnd seconded the nomination of
Mr. Shlvcly . Mr. Dynum .named George W.

At this point much commotion was cre
ated by the appearance of a liugopicture ol
Bland coming down the center aisle of the.
convention hall and at the tame llme'Colone
Shcppard advanced to the.'Stage ' and mover
to endorse Bland for ths-'prcsldency. This
motion wait received .with deafening cheers
and Senator HoraceChlltoa , rushed to the
front of the platform to oppose his endorse
ment. Colonel John Duncan alto opposci
the endorsement of Bland 'and favored en
dorsing ox-Govcrnpf Hoggi for the presi
dency. A general row ens\f d and the sup
porters of the stale adinlnlitratlon and Hogg
raised Cain In their opposition to Bland.
John Reagan , aUo spake' opposing any
presidential Instructions at all. Dudley ,
chairman of the state executive committee
spoke In advocacy of the Bland endorse
ment. Judge Brapilette Introduced a reso
lution stating lu effect that Bland was the
choice of the people of Tex&s arid deemed
It advisable to the Interests of silver to vote
for him at Chicago. Congressman Balloy
spoke In advocacy of the resolution and
stated emphatically that ho favored Bland.
Governor Hogg said the adoption of the
resolution would have no more effect on the
Chicago delegation than the sniffs of a sand
hill 'possum.
At 2 o'clock , after much discussion , Bland
was finally Instructed for almost unani
mously. Messages were sent to the conven

SAUATOOA , N. Y. , Juno 24. The demo
cratic state convention that convened this
morning and adjourned this afternoon has
put Itself on record on the financial plat
form and has selected Its delegates to the
national convention , but In doing these
things it has followed out the predictions
of weeks ago and has not created any sensa
tion , or oven mild surprise. It has declined
to name Its electors , has not put Itself on
record on any state issue , and 1ms left the
selection of a state committee until the next
state convention. These things have all
been done at the Instance of the lea'cta
and with the avowed purpose of placing the
party In such a position that no matter
what the platform of the national party Is
It can bo supported by the electors and the
party In this state. The platform adopted
declares that the decline lu the commercial
value of silver has brought about a dis
parity between that metal and gold , which
can only be adjusted with the co-operation
of other governments. Until an Interna
tional agreement can bo reached the plat
form declares for the maintenance of the
existing gold standard.
lleforo the time for the assembling of the
convention It was given out that Senator
Hill would bo chairman ot the com
mittee on resolutions. The list of
alternates had also undergone a
complete revision , ex-Postmaster General
Ulssell having decided to go to Chicago as
a district delegate rather than as an altcr-
nate-at-largo , even with the promise of
Senator Murphy's proxy. William R. Grace
had also declined. At that time three names
had been agreed upon for altenvates-at-largo
as follows : Judge Earle , State Senator
Jacob A. Canter and William Purcoll.
The convention was called to order by
Chairman Hlnckloy , who Introduced Mayor
John Boyd Thatcher of Albany as temporary
chairman.
In the course of his speech on assuming
the chair , Mr. Thatcher said : "Facing
Chicago we confess that the situation Is
not without pi-rll. Circumstances , some of
which perhaps might have been controlled
have created what wo bcllcvo to be an
erroneous financial faith , a faith which has
spread alarmingly In the west and south , and
which has found adherents oven In the east
end north. It Is a faith which Is not to bo
eradicated with the sword , but with the pen
and tongue , with many It is a panacea for
commercial disorders. Men hold these false
views through a misconception of economic
tiuths and through Mot understanding
economic law , or the times and seasons of
their application. Not everything which Is
signed and scaled is valid. The stamp of
the government on a piece of silver can
never make Itvorth much more than the
world Is willing to gve ( for It. It Is passing
strange that the very men who have such
mmvejousfaith Jn the power of their
government should scenv to have so little
sentiment fls to Its zeal.
MUST USE PERSUASION.
"They reverence Its zeal , but appear to
be Indifferent as to its escutcheon. If we avc
to accomplish our mission at Chicago we
must go there to persuade erring brothers
and not to quarrel with enemies. The people
who hold those strange views are honest ,
but mistaken. Wo must make them sec
that we are as honest as they are and that
our views arc right. At this late date the
task seems gigantic , but it is not hopeless.
If ever there should be a campaign of
education It Is now.
"It Is the duty of the democracy In the
present crisis to speak clearly on the
financial question. The party of Jefferson
and Jackson has always favored the best
money In use , the money adopted as the
standard by the most enlightened nations
of the earth. Neither consideration of ex
periences nor the selfish Interest of these
who own silver bullion should lead us to
depart from the safe aild secure path.
"Tho people have not forgotten that the
silver purchase law , bearing the name of
an Ohio statesman , was the work of a re
publican congress and of a republican presi
dent. That law made of silver a commodltj
and unfitted it for its true mission , a rceJIum
of exchange. Nor have the people forgotteu
that the repeal of that law was the work
of a democratic congress and ot a democratic
president. If It had done no other thins In
its four years of power and responsibility
our party should have'the gratitude and con
fidence of the country for thus stopping the
coinage of a 70-ccnt dollar. "
Mr. Thatcher's speech was freely ap
plauded. During the call of the roll of dele
gates there were enthusiastic and pro
tracted cheers when the name of William
C. Whltnoy w s reached and a demonstration
of almost equal fervor greeted the name ol
David 13. Hill a few minutes later.
The contest of the Shepard delegation from
Kings couhty was referred to the credentials
committee. Other contests were from
Queens , Richmond and Wayne counties.
After the appointment of committees the
convention took a rrccss until 3 o'clock.
On reconvening the temporary organiza
tion was made permanent. The committee
on credentials reported In favor of the sit
ting delegates In every case and upon the
report being adopted the Shepardltcs from
Kings county and the Wayne county con
testants walked out of the convention amid
I''BSCB ' from the delegates.
SENATOR HILL'S PLATFORM.
The platform was read by Senator Hill.
It was adopted as follows :
It would bo folly to Ignore and Impossible
to exaggerate the gravity of the conditions
under which this convention assemble * .
Mont of the other Mates of the union have
selected and eommlSHloned their delegates
to the national democratic convention. Hy
a movnnmnt evidently concerted , but , aH
we believe , Ill-advised nnd Ill-considered ,
Instructions have been given to the dole-
Kutlont ) of n large number of states having
for their aim nnd purpose the adoption of :
a now policy nnd a now platform for the
democratic party. No opportunity for a
fair nnd deliberate consideration of such a
policy and platform hast been afforded the
democracy of the. state of New York. Upon
such new matter thus proposed to be In-
.corporated among the U-netn of ths party
It becomes the duty of the dcmourutH of
New York , representing their people , to
speak In no equivocal terma. Uold and
silver , the money of the constitution mid
our fathers , each at a parity with the other
In purolmslng power , has been the platform
of principles proclaimed by every national
convention , which has thus adopted nnd
alllrmed In ench declaration of party faith
for a century the wisdom of ThoirmH Jef-
firson. who said : "Tho monetary unit must
stand on both metals " The nrtlon 6f u re
publican congress and n republican party
deprived silver of ltn equality with Bold for
the money and curicney of the nation
From this act ( for which the democratic
party was In no wise respoiihlblej arid Irom
tliu action of other nations following in the
same course , It has resulted that silver
has ereatly declined In commercial value
and there now exlnts a wide departure of
the two metals from th coinage standard
of value , bringing disturbances to the finan
cial Bystcms of European countrlcH as well
as to our own , and awakening there , aa

OPPOSK13 TO FIU213
For these reasons nnd with
tlons the democrat ! ) of New
vention assembled , make the
laration of their opinion n
the democrats of other states
In Incorporating these principles In the
party platform to be adopted at Chicago :
1. Wo favor sold nnd silver as the stand
ard money of the country. We are opposed ,
us u iiermanent financial policy , to gold
monometallism on one hand or to silver
monometallism on the other hand. The
pledge contained In the repeal of the Slier-
man law , the repeal of which was ( mused
by a democratic eoiwress and nppioved by
a democratic president , should bo faith
fully carried out , wherein It was declared
that "the efforts of the government should
bo steadily dlrictod to the establishment
of such a safe system of bimetallism as will
lualntaln at all times the equal power of
every dollar coined or Issued by the X'nlted
States in the markets and In payment of
debts. " Wo bellevo such blmi'tiilllsm , to
which the nation Is solemnly pk'dKcd , can
only be secured nnd permanently main
tained through the concurrent action of
the leading nations of the world. Neither
this country nor atiy other country , Indo-
I > ondont and alone. Is able to inalntidii It
and It would bo folly to attempt It. llolns
so convinced , we are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver In the ab
sence of the co-operation of other great na-
tlona. We declare our belief that any at
tempt on the part of the United States
alone to enter upon the experiment of Iree
coinage of silver would not only prove dis
astrous to our nuance , but would retard
or entirely prevent the establishment of
International bimetallism. Until Interna
tional co-opcintlon for bimetallism ean bo
secured to which all our efforts as a gov
ernment and as a people should ! In good
fnlth directed we favor the rlfld main
tenance of the present gold standard , os-
sentlal to the preservation of our national
credit , the redemption of our public pledget ?
anil the keeping Invlohiln of our country's
honor. We Insist that all our paper and sil
ver currency shall he kept absolutely at n
parity with itold.
1'AUTY OF HARD MONKY.
2. The democratic party has over been
and still IH the hard money party and It
will preserve that record. It Is opposed to
logiil tender paper money as a part of our
llnanetal system , and It refuses to sanction
any paper currency Inconvertible with
coin. Tlio I'nlted States notes and treasury
notes , being. In fact , debts of the govcin-
ment , should bo gradually paid off , retired
und canceled. This should and must bo
done In Hiich n manner as will cause no
contraction of the circulating' money of
the country. So long as they oxlst , how
ever , and are permitted to circulate us
money they should be redeemable at all
times upon demand In the standard money
of the country. The democratic party Is
pledged to the resolute maintenance of
the public credit at all tlmcw and under all
circumstances , nnd It Is , therefore , opposed
to the repeal of any existing statute which
enables the secretary of the treasury , by
the Issue of bonds or otherwise , to provide
an adequate fund for the redemption In
gold of our paper obligations whenever
necessary.
.1. AYe reiterate our adherence to the prin
ciples of a tariff for revenue only. Wo are
opposed to government partnership with
protected monoiiollcls nnd wo demand that
import duties , like other ttixos , should bo
Impartially laid and their Imposition lim
ited to the necessities of the government
economically administered. Federal taxa
tion should not be imposed to benollt Indi
vidual Interests at the expense of the gen
eral welfare. Wo repudiate the doctrine
that it Is the province of the government ,
by the exercise or abuse of the power of
taxation , to build up ono man's business at
the expense of another's , or to Impose bur
dens upon ono class of citizens for the bene
fit of other classes , and we Insist that "no
public taxation except for public purposes"
Is the true theory upon which our system
of government is based nnd upon which It
should bo honestly and Impartially admin
istered. Upon this principle of revenue
reform the democratic party takes no step
backward.
Wo endorse the administration of Presi
dent Cleveland , and particularly commend
him for his determined effort to maintain
the llnanclnl credit of the United States.
It Is hereby further resolved that the
delegates to the national democratic con
vention selected by this convention arc
hereby Instructed to enter that convention
as a unit and vote and act as a unit In
accordance with the will of the majority
thereof.
APPEAL FOR UNITY.

which was adopted :
Whereas. Party division at Chicago on
