Mr. Cochran, of New York, moved to lay
the resolution on the table, characterizing
it as a revolutionary proposition.

ANOTHER SPEECH TOR BAYARD.
Leroy F. Youmans, of South Carolina,
also seconded the nomination of llayard.
He said it was manifest from the applause
with which the name of Senator Bayard
was received this morning that at last the
opposition to Cleveland has found a strong
leader,,who is faithfully organizing to stem
the tide that has been sweeping New York
on towards the goal of success. Hereto

Cleveland, of New York. [Applause.] As
to the objection that Mr. Cleveland bad
enemies at home, the reply was that no
man could with fidelity to principle admin
ister the office ol Governor of New Y'ork
without making enemies at home. If they
found a man without enemies they would
find a man who had not that elevation ol
character necessary for the candidate of a
great party.
WHY WISCONSIN LOVES CLEVELAND.
When the State of Wisconsin was called
it was announced that the majority of that
delegation had voted to support the nom
ination of Gov. Cleveland, and had assign
ed its chairman, Gen. Bragg, to second the
nomination. Gen. Bragg declared the
young Democrats of Wisconsin loved and
respected Cleveland, not only for himself,
for his character, for his integrity, judg
ment and iron will, bat they loved him
most for the enemies that be had made.
[Enthusiastic applause.]
Mr. Grady, of New York, hero rose and
shout d out that the enemies to whom the
gentlemen alluded reciprocated that tenth
ment. [General hisses.]
Mi. Bragg was thankful to the gentle
man for calling himself to bis attention.
He spoke ol the disgraceful spectacle
which that gentleman had presented yes
terday, and said that the opposition to
Cleveland came from those whom he had
cat off from the ttesh pots. The vilest,
said he, may defile a splendid statue but
they necessarily disgrace themselves. Men
who talked about the rights of labor were
political tricksters who placed their camp
wherever there was prospect of profit, but
the honest, intelligent, horny-banded
laboring men would b« found following
the old Democratic flag. The labor of
these political tricksters had been on the
crank machine. [Cheers.] Their study had
been political chicanery in midnight con
clave, and the onfg cure for them was a
free application oMpe. [Chetrs],

BAXDALL PUT IN NOMINATION.
The State of Pennsylvania having been
ranched in the call, Senator William A.
Wallace, of that 8tate. came to the plat-
formto nominate Randall. He said: "By
direction ot the Pennsylvania delegation,
I come to present the name of a candidate

Henry O. Kent, of New Hampshire, also
seconded the nomination of Cleveland. He
said that New Hampshire was to-day one
of the doubtful States, the Democracy
being only in a minority of 500, and ho be
lieved that with the right candidate that
State might lie turned over to the Democ
racy. Success was a duty. The reco-.d of
, Morrison, of Illinois,
chairman of the committee on resolutions,
stepped to the platform to present the re
port of that committee. Iiis appearance
was greeted with cheers. The platform
was read by one of the reading clerks.
•rna platform.
The platform ol the Democratic party of
the Uhited States, through its representa
tives, in national convention assembled,
recognizes that as the nation grows older
new issues are born of time and progress
and old issues perish, but the fundamental
principles of Democracy, approved by the
united |voice of the people, remain, and
will ever remain, os the best and only secu
rity for the continuance of free govern
ment. The preservation of personal rights,
the equality of all citizens before the law,
the reserved rights of the States and the
supremacy oi the* federal government,
within the limits of the constitution, will
ever form the true basis of our liberties
and can never be surrendered without
destroying that balance of rights and pow
ers which ensb'.es the continent to be
developed in peace and social order to be
maintained by means of local self-govern
ment. But itis indispensable for the prac
tical application and enforcement ot these
fundamental principles that the govern
ment should not always be controlled by
one political party. Frequent changes of
the administration is as necessary as con
stant recurrence to the popular will.
Otherwise abases grow and the govern
ment, instead ot being carried on {or the
f ;enerai welfare, becomes an instrumental-
ty for imposing heavy burdens Upon the
many, who are governed for the benefit of
the Jew who govern the public servants,
thus become arbitrary rulers. This is now
the condition ol the country. Hence
change is demanded. The Republican
party, so tar as principle is concerned, is
reminiscense in practice. It is an organ
ization for enriching those who control its
machinery. The frauds and jobbery which
have been brought to light in every depart
ment of the government are sufficient to
have called for reform within the Republi
can party, yet those in authority, made
reckless by long possession of
power, have succumbed to its cor
rupting influences and have placed
in nomination a ticket against which
the independent portion of the party
are now in open revolt. Therefore, a
change is demanded. Such change was
alike necessary in 1870, but the will of the
people was then defeated by fraud, which
can never be forgotten nor condoned.
Again, in 1880, a change demanded by the
l«u|ile was defeated by the lavish use of

Into the treasury.
We favor on American continental
policy, based upon morelntimatecommer-
cial relations with the fifteen sister repub
lics of North, Central and South America,
but entangling alliances with none.
We believe in honest money,the gold
and silver coinage of the constitution, and
a circulating medium convertible into such
money without loss.
Asserting the equality of all men before
the law, we hold ii the duty of the govern
ment In its dealings with the people to
mete out equal and exact justice to ail citi
zens, of whatever nation, race, color or per
suasion, religiouJ or political. We believe
in a free ballot and a fair count, and we re
call to the memory of the people the noble
struggle of the Democrats in theforty-fifth
and forty-sixth Congresses, by which the
reluctant Republican opposition was com
pelled to assent to legislation making
everywhere illegal the presence of troops
at the polls, as conclusive proof that a
Democratic administration will preserve
liberty with order.
Selection of Federal officers for the ter
ritories alionld be restricted to citizens pre
viously resident there.
We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex
citizens and interfere with individual lib
erty.
We favor an honest civil service reform
and the compensation of all United States
officers by fixed salaries, the separation of
church and State and the diffusion of free
education by common schools, so that
every child in the land may be taught the
rights and duties of citizenship.
While wc favor all legislation which will
tend to the equitable distribution
of property, to the prevention of
monopoly, to the strict enforcement of
individual rights against corporate abuses.
We hold that the welfare of sooiety depends
uDon a scrupulous regard for the rights of
property as defied by law.
We believe that labor is best regarded
where it is freest and most enlightened. It
should therefore be fostered and cherish
ed. We favor the repeal of all laws re
stricting tne free action of labor and the
enactment of laws by which labor organf
zatious may be incorporated, and of all
sucli legislation as will tend to enlighten
the people os to the true relation of capital
and labor.
We believe that the public lands ought
as far as possible, to be kept as homesteads
for actus! settlers: that all unearned lands
berefore improvldently granted to railroad
corporations by the action of the Republi
can party should be restored to the pnbiic
domain, and that no more grants of lands
shall be made to corporations or be allowed
to fall into the ownership of alien absen
tees.
We are opposed to all propositions which
upon any pretext would convert the gen-
rul government into a mach’ne (or collect’
ing taxes to be distributed among the
States or dozens thereof.
In re affirming the declarations of the
Democratic platform of 1856, that the lib
eral principles embodied !>y Jefferson in
the declaration of Independence and sanc
tioned in the constitution, which make
ours the land oi liberty and the asylum of
the oppressed of every nation, have ever
been cardinal principles in the Democratic
faith, we nevertheless do not sanction
the importation ot foreign labor or ti e ad
mission of servile races unfitted by habits,
training, religion and kindred for absorp

American civilization demands that
against the Immigration or importation oi

Butler said most things in the platform
he agreed to. Some things ought to be

to be changed. That he would submit to

asked the clerk to read it.
The clerk commenced by enunciating
slowly and very distinctly the words.

general laughter.
Butler then proceeded to address the
convention. He said he appeared with
great diffidence. Most things In the plat-
torm be agreed to. Those which had just
been read were submitted and not agreed
to. There was one thing on which there
was a most radical difference between
the two platforms. Both, agreed
there were no constitutional
power to raise a revenue beyond the nec
essary wanta of the government, that it
should be raised according to the doctrines
of the fathers, and that no tax should be

he had demanded not that it should give

reasonable demand? Did tbs; think they

not.

government and by all foreign powers. It
is an imperative duty o( this gowernment
to effectually protect all rights of persons
and profferty of every American ettixen in
foreign lands, and demand and enforce foil
reparation for any invulon thereof. An
American citizen is only responsible to his
own government for any act done in
his own country or under hii flag, and
only can be tried therefor on her own
■oil and according to her laws, and no
power exists in this government to ex
patriate an American citizen to be tried in
any fotclgn land for any such act. This
country hu never bad a well-defined and
executed foreign policy aave under Demo
cratic administration. That policy has
ever been in regard to foreign nations, so
long as they do not act detrimental to the
interests of the country or hurlful lo onr
citizens, to let them alone. As the result
of this policy, we recall the acquisition oi
Louisiana, Florida, California und the ad
jacent Mexican territory by purchase alone,
and contrast these grand acquisitions ol
Democratic statesmanship with the pur
chase of Alaska, the sole fruit of a Repub-
lisan administration of nearly a quarter of
a century.
The Federal government should care for
and improve the Mississippi river and
other great water wu of the republic, so
ulo secure for the interior States easy
and cheap transportation to tide water.

men to find out what was wanted?
[Laughter.] There wu a radical differ
ence between the committee snd himself.
The very able chairman ol the committee,
Mr. Morrison, thought there should be no
such, or could be no such, thing u protec
tion to American labor by taxation. He
(Butler) believed that there shonld he anch
protection, such tostering, such cherish,
ing. Mr. Morrison could not yield his
conviction, and he (Butler) . could
not vicld his, and therefore the
convention had spent all that time
to say something that would mean one
thing one wav and another thing another
way. [Lsughter.l He asked the delegates
to read that tariff plank and sea if they
could find out exactly what it did mean.
It did not mean protection. If it
did, Colonel Morrison wu too hon
est a man to bring it here; yet
it was so twisted that it
could mean protection. [Laughter.] The
Democracy had in its platform in 1880 a
plank ol tariff (or revenue only, and It
broke the back ot the most gallant soldier
in the country [laughter], and now they
hed a tariff plank for public purposes ex
clusively. Where was the difference?
Exclusively meant only, and only meant
exclusively. [Laughter.l
Passing to the currency question, he said
he affirmed the doctrine of Andrew Jack-
eon that the government alone could issue
money, and he would rather be wrong
with Jackson than be right with the com
mittee. [Cheers.] He represented many
Greenback men, good and true
Greenback men, like Allen G.
Thurman [laughter], and those were
willing to come to the Deraocrate to
root out corruption and wrong in the gov
ernment, if the Democracy would have
them; bat how were they received? with
a plank in the platform that we are in favor
oi honest money, as if greenbacks were
not. Who wu not in favor of honeet
money? If therewu encha man here, let
him be put oat. [Laughter.]
As to civil service reform, he ventured
to say there was not a man in the con
vention in favor of il, unleu he wu a
schoo,muster. [Laughter.] ExSecretary
Pendleton bad been the author of the origi
nal civil service bill, and be hu never been
heard of since. [Laughter.] Geo. Wub-
Ington himself could not have
passed the civil service examination
for a 81,200 clerkship. [Langhler.l Hie
early education bad bun neglected, and
in hit will, srritten by his own hand, he
spelled ‘clothes’ ‘cloaths.’ [Laughter.]
For himself, he wanted frequent changes
in office in order to counteract the great
endency to have aristocratic life offices,
if office wu a good thing, then he wanted
all the peojile to here a chance at it. and if
it wu a had thing, then it wu too hud to
put it on a poor iellow for hit whole life
i [ Laughtcfel
In conclusion, be laid that if the com
mittee told the working men end women
of the country they ought to be, he would
not uy protected, bat fostered and cher
ished, then the Democratic puty would
weep the country; otherwise they would
.emain in their workahope on election
day, ami the Democracy wonld be again
defeated. Theoretically, be was a free
trader, but practically, when twojhnndred
million dollars of revenue hed to be
raised on imports, there could be no each
thing as (ree trade, and so long u some
industry must he loitered American men
and women should be taken careof. (Ap-
planse.] He would call (or a vote by

Mr. Converse, of Ohio, next spoke in
favor of the adoption of the platform as
reported by the majority of the commit
tee. He said there was much In Butler's
platform to which all could subscribe;
there was mnch in bis tariff planktowhich
all could subscribe; there was mnch of that
plank embodied In the report of
the committee. The majority re
port was made by the representative
of thirty-seven States. The dissent was
from but e single State. The majority re
port was a harmonizing ol diffrrencea in
(he entire Union and should receive the
support of the Democracy. In that plat
form the knights of labor were f ally recog
nized, bat the great central and over
shadowing idea of the platform
was reform in the government,
an issue on which all of them could
afford to stand. (Appianse.1 The com
mittee denounced the abates of the present
war tariff and declared that ell federal tax
ation should be exclusively for pablic pur
poses, and that no more tax shonld be col-
lected than was required to rapport the
government economically administered.
The gentleman from Massachusetts bed
avowed himself as theoretically a free
trader. He (Converse) was not a free
trader. He coaid imsgine no system of
taxation moie oppressive or unequal
in ita exactions than the distribution
of the cost of the government among the
States. He believed that a well regulated
and moderate coetom-boas* taxation,
yielding the necessary revenue for the ex
penses ot the government, was toe
lightest tax that coujd be im
posed on a people. He had
always believed in the tariff. [Applause.]
There had been in the committee a sub
stantial agreement on the question that
had divided the party hitherto, much more
than it would ever divide it again. [Ap
plause.] Tht platform reported wat one
on which they could vote. It was
