Oct. 8.—The state Denmorat- to convention was held In the music hall today for the nomination; of candi dates for govenn'or arid state officers. Eleven o’clock was tho hour named for the opening, but was not until 11:10 o'clock, that the convention was called to onler by John W. Corcoran, chair man of the Democratic state commit tee. Nathan G. Robinson, the secretary, read the call nnd Corcoran and Robin son were made (the temporary officers Of 'the convention. The usual commit tees were then appointed. The com mittee on credentials reported the pres ence of 1,850 delegates from f00 towns cm3 30 cities. The committee on per manent organization mada its report, naming ex-Govemor William E. Rus sell as chairman nnd Dan E. Buckle of North Easton nnd Nathan G. Rob inson of Boston as secretaries. The ox-governor wu y introduced by Judge Corcoran, 'briefly but tryppily, and 'Mr. Russell received an old time Democratic welcome. He then pro ceeded to the. delivery of his address, which was frequently applauded. • After the platform had been read and adopted n'&mhialtloiM were declared in Older, and George Fred WRlMms nom inated the Hon. John E. Russell of Leicester for governor. It iwus seconded by Hon. John J. Donovan of Dowell and Mr. Russell was (then unanimous ly nominated by aeclamltlon. Charles E. Stratton of Boston wan nominated by occlamaltlon for lieutenant gover nor., and a committee was appointed to watt upon the candidate for gover nor—Mr. Russell appeared. Ho re ceived a glorious greeting, the conven tion rising en masse nnd cheering and clapping their hands In wild delight. (Mr. Russell’s speech wtls applauded vociferously from start to finish, and at its close there were cheers upon cheera. A. B Bruce of Letwrenbe thlcn an nounced the following named 03 hav ing been agreed upon as nominees’for the other offices on the state ticket and they therefore, were ’ Severally nominated by accfamhtlon: For-sec retary of the commonwealth, Ohas. AT Decoursey Of Lawrence: for treasurer general, James S. Grinwll of Green field jfor attorney general, Henry F.- Hurlburt of Lyim. for auditor, Alfred C. Whitney of Boston. The platform says: ■Tho Democrats of Massachusetts, in convention assembled, renew fhelr.nlle- once to the time-honored principles of Jeffersonian Democracy; and they rett- terato their loyalty to the president and other p.nty leaders who have so courtrgously battled for the people against tho errors nnd Iniquities.Of the last Republican administration. “We congratulate the country on the repeal of an odious and tyranlciat elec tion law; on the repeal of a measure of silver Inflation which was the direct cause of the financial panic from the consequences of which we are rvr.v hap pily recovering; on the repeal of the McKinley tariff; on the abolition of bounties; on tho firm, dignified and con servative conduct of our foreign af fairs; on tho vigorous and timely measures taken to repress attacks up'on the rights nnd the property of the fed eral government; on the reform In the abuses tn the pension system; on a reduction of many millions tn the ap propriations by congress, and' on the economies and Improvements affected In the various administrative branohea of the government. "We Wave, for years, advocated a thorough toform of the tariff; the house or Wilson bill, was an honest cffoK to carry out the Democratic policy. ■ It's defeat Is much to bo regretted. Wo hold those Democratic senators, who by their Inaction or resistance, prevented Its passage to Be traitors to their party; and we damimd their re tirement from party leadership. "We also demand thalt United States senators be elected by direct vote of the people. “We recognize, (however, tha t the new tariff Is, In spite Of imperfections, a great Improvement In almost every schedule over the moastrou* act of spoliation. known os the McKinley tar iff bill, in 1 we' hill ill 111 "IC ns the ■beginning of the cnl of an unconstltu- ttonul system of duties for protection only. . “We believe 1t to be the Immediate duty of the Democrattic pasty to place every commodity Which can fairly be described aa raiw material upon the free list, to abolish all duties which tend to create and maintain monopolies nnd trusts aJrtd to reduce all dufiee Which are Still prohibitory In effect. We hold that the currency troubles which, during the last twenhy-flve years, have brought industrial distress upon this country are evils for whlah the Repub I1csn party is directly responsible. "In 1870 a Republican president, with the assistance of a Republican con gress, packed the United ’ States su. promo court to reverse -the decision that the making of greenbacks a ' tender was unconstitutional and opened tbe way for limited inflation. One of the results of the false Idem .Thus inculcated, was the Bland bill, or act Of 1878, which compelled the pur. chase of silver bullion to tbe amount of 83,000,000 n month. The evil done by this law was greatly increased In 1890, When In pursuance of a recommends, tlon by a Republican secretary of the treasury, a Republican congress* parsed saw) a Republican ptWHtst signed the Sherman net. compelling tbe purchase of sfiver bunton to the amount of 4,- 501 coo ounces per month. "These various metsures Have all been tn direct violation of the constitutional functions of the government, according to >'he historic prlitotpks of the Demo- cmlc party. "On tbe other band, the only financial measure during thrts generation for which, as the party In power, the Dem ocratic party la renponstole, tras been che rcrs-al of the Sh.-rm.tn act. as the first step toward a healthier financial condition. "We reaffirm our allegiance to tbe great financial principles which gulled Jeffer son, Jackson and Secretary Walker: That It la the sole function of the federal gov- ninent In monetary matters to provide standard of value and to coin met ttlie money, .-v-r;. ddlu of which .shall l,e of equal Intrlnalc value: that nothing but this coined money shall be a legal tender, and that the government shall not carry on a banking business. We demand that the untaxed notes of state or natlonsl banks shall be the only paper money and that the government shall, with the de velopment of a banking system adequate to the demand3 of trade, retire as rap idly as possible all Us legal tender paper money, “We approve the principle of the In come tax as a return to correct theories of t.ix.:t ion. Tlie scope of I tie ipttionnl civil service system should be extended as fast as the civil service commission deems practicable, to the end that all federal positions to wtdfh tho merit sy»- teiu of appointment Is tipplumhle m ly (," placf-i by l.uw upon a :drh :ly non-politi cal basis. The administration should now formulate and recommend some plan by which the postoffices may be brought within the merit system and the con tinued tenure of faithful officials be re. cured. "Wo are not only opposed In tho ab stract to any ’dlsunctlon of birth or re ligious creed in the right of American citizenship, but to any organization which sms to Introduce any such distinction into politics, and wo hold up to public con demnation any party which, like the Re publican party in this and other states, tacitly accepts an alliance with such an organization and permits it to control the party concusses and conventions.’ The balance of the platform deals with otato matters.
