CHICAGO A SCENE OF WILD DELIGHT.
Tammany Relegated to the Mercy of the Party
Which Needs it Not.
[Preliminary Proceedings on Socond Page.]
The Third Day Opened.
Chicago, July 10.—The convention was ddled to
order at 11:10.
The situation this morning docs not differ ma
terially from that of yesterday morning. The
«econd day's eventa of the convention have de
veloped only one thing. This was a stubborn de
termination to beat Cleveland at any sacrifice and
by auy means. It was generally conceded that
the action of Tammany In openly opposing
Cleveland, was without precedent, but that it had
done the New York governor no material harm,
CARTER HARRISON EXPLAINS.
Mr. Carter Harrison, niing to a personal ex
planation, repelled the intimation made by one
of the speakers yesterday that he had packed the
hall with a clique which applauded his speech in
seconding the nomination of Grover Cleveland.
The unfinished business yesterday, being the
call of states for nominations, was resumed.
A VOICE roll THURMAN.
Mr. Mansus, of Missouri, came to the platform
«nd made a nomination speech. Ho said
Missouri would have given thirty-two
stalwart democratic votes for the old ticket, hood
ed by the sage of Gramercy and his venerated
friend from Indiana, Hendricks. As they could
not have the old ticket, he had been casting about
to sec who was the man who, in this emergency,
should lead the embattled hosts of democrats to
4i grand and glorious victory. Nothing short of a
blunder could make the democracy lose the elec
tion. With twenty-five democratic gov
ernors, and twenty-three democratic legislatures
representing 253 electoral votes out ol 401, nothing
but a fatal blundor could make the democracy
lose. The man In liis mind was spoken of os the
noblest Roman of them all—Allen G. Thurman, of
Olilo. [Cheers.] lie therefore seconded that nomi
nation. He had looked In Thurman's fane yester
day, and recognized in hint the colossal democrat
•of the country—the Bismarck of America. With
Thurman as their standard bearer, they
•could carry Ohio, New York and California.

work in anyhow.” [Laughter].
HOADLY NOMINATED.
Thomas E. Powell, of Ohio, came to tho platform
to put in nomination George Homily, of Ohio. He
declared that if the democracy was true to itself,
Its success In the coming struggle was already in
jured. Within tho last few yenrs, he said, tho
state of Ohio had overcome a republican majority
pari
candlduto who' "ho” now presented—Governor
George Hoadly, of Ohio. [Some applause.l
Hoadly ' had received the largest Indorsement
■ever given to a democrat iu Ohio, having received
10,0()U more votes than Hancock had received in
18H0. He was known to the nation as a great law
yer, a wise statesman, a fearless and aggressive
leader, a man of acknowledged ability, of un
doubted Integrity, a man of courage as well as of
wisdom.
RANDALL RUN UP.
The state of Pennsylvania having been reached,
■Senator Wallace of thut state came to the platform
to nominate Randall. He said: “By the direction
of the Pennsylvania delegation, I come to preseut
the name of a candidate for tho great office of pres
ident of the United States. The name which I
bring you is fouud on every page of your coun
try's and party's history in the last two decades.
{ Applause.] It Is thut of no tyro in political affairs.

of his manhood, with ever)' faculty trained iu

dishonest action, no corrupt practice, hie* ever
stained his escutcheon. [Applause.J While most
of his contemporaries in official life have grown

aim has been fitly to serve his people
and his republic. Democrats, the hour has been
struck for the nomination of a democrat groun

his party's service. [Cheers.] The pathway of
expediency lies behind us, strewn with the
wrecks of our failures. Let us be honest now.
Let us stand by the record of our own pure public
men. Let us boldly appeal to the i>coplc
on that record, and spurn the delusive promises
of our bitter foe. The name of such a man we
bring you. His practical hand, his experienced
foresight, his converse with public affairs, will lay
the foundations of your return to power, so broad,

good to carry the iwumer of democracy, and none
J too pure or high for the democracy of tho south.
Pure and high, and exalted as the nominee of this
.convention can be In those attributes, ho never
can bo more so—none can bo more so than Thomas
F. Bayard, of Delaware. [Applause.] We come
to place the garment of success upon our nomi

such as New York presents, but it must be a whole

as wc please nnd for whom wc please, and not

he is Thomas F. Bayard, Gentlemen of.thls con
vention, in this hour let us consider the attitude
of these candidates that call for our suffrage. Lotus
see the position in which the delegates of this con
vention ore placed. New.York, with its great
vote in this ^convention, is . found with
a large fraction of it bound hand
and foot. They arc enslaved in the convention
knd misnamed representatives. (Cheers). They j

They are slaves, speaking with the tongue of their

MASSACHUSETTS SECONDS RAVARD.
The call of the roll of states for nominations
was then resumed.
Rhode IsUud being called, the chairman oflthat

Mr. Abbott, chairman of the Massachusetts dele-

Bayard’s nomination, said:

The chair—Will the gentleman take the plat

While General Bragg was on his way to the plat

“A little more grape, Captain Bragg.”
Upon Bragg’s arrival at theplattorm, the chair
introduced him as follows:
“I have the pleasure of introducing to you.I

, REPUBLICANUtSC ARRAIGNED.
Toe republican party, so far ns principle fs con
cerned, is a reminiscence. In practico ft is an or-
,ganiz>i:ioii for enriching those who control its mn-
‘chlnciy. The frauds ami Jobbery which

camin-d to its corrupting Influence, and have
placed Innominntion a ticket against which the
Iiutci-riimmt.portion of the party are in open re
volt. Therefore a change is demanded. Such a
chnue.* was alike necessary in 1870, but tho
will of the people was then de
feated by fraud, which cim never
be forgotten nor condoned. Again in 1880 a
Change was demanded by tho people, but was do-
jfentCM by the lavish use of money, contributed by
4in*cmpulous contractors nnd homeless Jobbers,
•who had bargained for unlawful ^profit* or
for high offices. The republican party,
during its stolon and Its bought tenures of power,

THE CROWDS. THE ENTHUSIASM AND THE PKELINOl
Chicago, July. 10.—The evening session of tho I
conveulion was attended by an Immense gather-"
Ing of spectators, every scat In the building ont-l
s de of the scctlona as*igncd to the delegates aiul
it mir alternates being filled half an hour before
t le time to which odjouniment was taken, and ns
the delegation* come in, and the prominent mcni
ttipoug them were recognised, they were greeted
with cheers or the claiiplnf oi hand*. Meanwhile
popular airs were performed by the Ixind ot time
sic. Far more intcnne feeling, Interest and cx
Icitemeut was vibrating in the atmosphere than!
has been apparent at any preceding scasion. It
ha* been a matter of general observation among
those who have attended both the repub
lican convention and tho democratic convention
that there ha* been a striking contrast be
tween the enthusiasm manifested In the ong and
the ataenco of ft In the other. None of tho prom
inent candidates seem to be capable of exerting
the delegates or spectators to anything like the
degree that Blaine and some of his rivals for the
republican nomination did in this same ball five
weeks ago.
y COMPLIMENTS TO TILDEN,^^*^^^
I At 8:05 the convention was called to order, and
[resolution was offered by Mr. Ilcnnr, ol Mlssiss-
nnd Intense admirs-
tbesUterananlike
patriotic letter of Hamuel J. Tiiden, in which he
made known the overpowering and providential
necessity which constrained him to decline the
nomination to the presidency; condemning the
fraud and violence by which Tiiden and Ilcn-J
drinks were cheated out of their officee inl87ftl
expressing r egret that the nation!

■^■patriotism and splendid exeentivyf
admlnistratve ability of Tiiden, and ap-l
pointing a committvc to convey these sentiment*
to that gentleman. Adopted.
On motion of Orestes (Cleveland, of New Jersey,
it was ordered that the states and territories be
now called for the names of members of the na
tional democratic committee.
|,A report was made by the committee on resoln-l
■Ions, in favor of the proposition to permit the na
tional committee to chose a ohrirman outside of
its own members. The report was adopted.
A delegate from Arkansas offered a resolution
■>n>satltif and discontinuing in future the two-
irdsrtile in the nomination ot candidate* for
I pres Men land rice president.
Mr. Cochrane, of New York, moved to lay the
resolution on the the table, characterising it as a
'revolutionary proposition.
Mr. Abbett, of New Jersey, said It was absurd tor
this convention to attempt to make rules for the
next convention, and he moved to postpone the
resolution indefinitely.
Mr. Cochrane withdrawing hi* motion, the ques

definitely was carried.

PURIFICATION PLEDOED.
Tho democracy pledges lUelf to purify tho ad
ministration from corruption, to restore economy,
to rav Wo respect for law. ami to reduce the taxes
to the lowest limit consistent with regard to the
preservation of tho faith of tho nntion to its credi
tor* and pensioners, knowing full well, however,
that legislation affecting thu occupation* of tho
iniiiuiiK *i ri MH'.iiuu in uixc*. u u j*r«»jt u*
Injure any domestic Industries, but ratlicr to pro
mote their healthy growth. From tho foundation
of this goverameut taxes collected at the custom
house have been tho chief source of federal ro c
nue. Such they must continue to bo. Moreover,
many industries have como to rely
upon legislation for their successful
continuance, so that any change of tho law must
bo, at ever}' step, regardful of the labor aud capital
thus involved. Thu process of reform must be
subject In execution to this plain dictate of J
tiro. All taxation shall be limited to the rcquL _
incuts of economical government. Tho neces*ary
reduction iu taxation ran and must bo effected
without depriving American labor of tho ability
to compete succo-utfully with foreign labor, and
without Imposing lower rates
duty than will bo ample
cover any increased cost of production which may
exist In consequence of the higher ratuofwnge*
prevailing In this country, Hufficlcut revenue to
The democratic party iuslsfci that it Is the duty
of the government to protect, with equal fidelity
aud vigilance, the rights of iu citizens native and
naturalized, at home ami abroad, aud to the cud
that this protection may be assured,
Uultcd States papers of naturalization
Issued by court* of competent jurisdiction must
.be respected by tho executive aud legislative de
partments of our own goverameut, and by all
loreign powers. It is au Imparatlvo duty of this
government to efficiently protect all the rights
of persons aud property of every
American citizen lu foreign lands
and to demand aud enforce full reparation for any
Invasion thereof. An American citizen is only
responsible to his own government for any ac t
done lu hi* own country, or uuder her flag, nnd
only can bo tried therefor on
her own soil, and according to her
laws, and uo power exisU In tills government to
expatriate au American citixcii to be tried iu any
foreign land for any such aet. This country has
never hud a well defined aud executed foroigh
ladlcy, save under democratic administration.
That policy has ever been in re
gard u> foreign nations so
long a* they do no act detrimental to the Interests
of the country or hurtful to our citizens, to let
them alone; that ns the result of this pulley we
recall tho acquisition of Louisiana, Flori
da, Crtlllorain, aud of the adjacent Mexican terri
tory by purchase alone, and contrast these grand
acquisition* of democratic statesmanship with tho
purchase of Alaska, the sole fruit of republican
administration of nearly a quarter of a century.
. . THE RIVERS AND JtAi(pOUS.
The federal government should care for and 1m
prove the Mississippi river, and otlior great water
ways of tho republic, sons to secure lor tho in-
terforslates easy and cheap transportation to the
tide water.
THE AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE,
Uuder n Jong period of democratle rule nnd
policy, our luerennut marine waa fast overtaking
aud on point 2 of outstripping that of Great
Britain. Under twenty years of republican rule
and Mb-}*, our commerce has been icit to British
bottoms, and ultmcdhu* the American ling been
swept off the high seas. Imdcud of the
ropubllcau party’* British policy, we donraud for
the people of the United flutes an American pull
ey under democratic rule, nml a policy under
which merchants and sailors flying thu stars and
stripes In every port successfully searched out n
market for the varied products of American indus
try. Under a quarter of a century of republican
rule and jsillcy, despite our inuiilfest advantages
over all other nations, in the efficient labor, fa
vorable climate uml teeming soil*, despite tho
freedom of trade among ull tlieso United btatc*.
despite their population by the foremost races
of men, nnd an annual immigration of tho young,
thrlitynud adventurous of nil nation*; uespitu
our freedom hero from tho Itihcritcd burdens of
life and industry In tho old world monarchic
their costly war navies, their vast tax con*un
, non-producing *tutidiug armies; despite
mty year* of peace tlmt tho republic
to spend nil that time to ray something
that would mean one thing one wav,
and another thing another way. (Laughter). Ho
asked the delegates to read that tariff plank am!
see if they could llnd ont exactly what it
did mean. It did not mean protection. If
It did, Colonel Morrison was too honest a man to
bring it here, and yet it was so twisted that it
might mean protection. (Laughter). Tho demo
crats had in its platform in 1880 a plank of tariff
for revenue only, and it broke the back
of the most gallant soldier in the coun
try. (Laughter), nml now they had
a tariff plunk for “public purposes exclusively.”
Where was tbe dliVerence ? “Exclusively” meant
“only,” and “only” meatil “exclusive!/. (Laugh
ter.) Passing to the currency question, he said
he affirmed the doctrine of Andrew Jackson, that
the governnicut alone could issuo money, and
he would rather bo wrong with
Jackson than be right with the committee,
[laughter.] We represented many greenback men,
good and true grecnlsick men, like Allen G. Thur
man. [Laughter.] And these men were willing to
come to tho democrats to root out the cor
ruption and wrong in the government If the
democracy would have them. But how were they
received? With a plank In tho platform that wo
he ventured to say there was not a man in tho
convention in favor of It mileas he was a school
master. (Laughter). Kx-Hoeretary Pendleton had
been tho author of the original civil service law,
along
noinintlly administered, niciumuu |n-ii*iijn*, in
terest ana principal of tho public debt, can be got
under our present system of taxation from custom
botiso taxes on fewer imported ar
ticles, boaring heaviest on articles
of luxury and . bearing lightest
on articles of necessity. Wo therefore denounce
,be abuses of the existing tariff, and subject to tho
preceding limitation* we demand that federal
taxation shall be exclusively for nubile purposes,
and shall not exceed the uccds of the government
economically administered.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
The system of direct taxation known as “Inter
nal revenue,” is « war tax, and so long as the law
eon tin nes the money derived therefrom should be
sacredly devoted to thu relief of tbe people
from the remaining burdens ol
war; be mndo a fund to defray tho expemie of the
care and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled In
tbe Ilneof duty In the wars ot the republic, and
for tbe payment of such pensions as congress
may, from time to time, grant such soldier*, a
like fund for sailors haring been already provid
ed; and any surplus should be paid Into tbe
trcasuiy.
THE MOXXOX DOCTRINE.
We favor an American continental policy, based
upon the more International, commercial and po
litical relations with the fifteen sister republics of
North, Ucutr.il and flouth America, but entangling
alliancM w<th none.
THE MONEY FLANK.
We believe In honest money, gold and silver
coinage of the conatitution, and a circulating me
dium convertible Into such money without lorn.
EqUAL EIGHTS.
Jiseo
we hold that ,
Its dealings with the people, to mete out equal
aud exact Justice to all citizens of whatever na
tivity, race, color or persuation, religious or po
litical. We believe In a free ballot and a fair
count, and wc recall to tho memory of
people the noble straggle of tbe demorratt in the
forty-fifth and forty-sixth congreawa.by which the
reluctant republican opposition was compelled to
assent to legislation making everywhere Illegal the
presence of tmopa at the polls, as a conclusive
proof that the democratic administration will pre
serve liberty with order.
THE TERRITORIES.
The selection of federal officers for the territo
ries should be restricted to citizens previously res
ident therein.
SUMPTUARY LAWS CONDEMNED.
We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the cltl-
msandlnterferewith individual liberty.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
We favor an honest civil service reform, and the
compensation of all United 8taU» officers by fixed
CHURCH AND STATE.
We favor the separation of church and state,nnd
tbe diffusion of free education by common school*
■o that every child in the Uml may be taught tbe
rights and antics of citlzeimhip.
AS TO MONOPOLIES.
While we favor all IcgfsUtion which will tend
to the equitable distribution of property, to the
prevention of monopoly, to the strict enforce
ment of individual rights against corporate
abuses, we hold that the welfare of society de
pend* upon the scrupulous regard for the rights
of property as defined by law,

Tlio Uncoptlon of tlio Platform.
PASSAGES WHICH ELICITED COMMENT—GENERAL
UUTLEIl’* REPORT.
Chicago, July Ift.-Ucadlng of the platform was
concluded at 10 o'clock. It was listened Pi atten
tively, uud with very few in term otlon*. In fact
—agraph, except that referring to
any marked indications of ap-
E >vsl. There was, however, a slight manifests-
n of applause when the moling closed.
Mr. Morrison said he would yield now to Gcucr-
Butler, to present the minority report. Hi
would then allow Butler thirty minutes to dis
cuss his report. He would also allow fifteen min
utes to Mr. Converse, of Ohio, and five minutes to
Mr. Wattcnon, and then he would move the pre
vious question, and ask for a vote.
GENERAL SUTLER'S REPORT.
General Butler said that nu>*t tulugs in the
platform he agreed to. Home things ought to be
added toll, hod one thing especially ought to be
changed, that he Would submit to the better
Judgment of the convention. He asked the clerk
to read hfa report. The clerk com
menced hr enunciating slowly and very
distinctly the words, “General Butler’s platform/’
which cawed a general faugh. General Butler
then proceeded to address tbe convention. He
Mid he appeared with great diffidence. Mart things
In tbe platform he agreed to. Those which bad
jUMt been read were submitted and not agreed to.
waa one thing on which there was a most
1 difference between the two platform*.
Both agreed that there was no constitutional
power to relse.a revenue beyond the necewary
wants of lha government; that it. ahonbl
lie wised according U> the doctrine*
ot the fathers, ami that no tax should be faM on
the necessaries of life not produced In this coun
try. He reme here as uo merchant, uo beggar. He
came here representing more than one million five
hundred thousand laboring men. He Ind
brought their condition before the rn»-
initte*-. and had demanded not that It should give
them anything but that when taxing the people
the tax should be taken where It would hurt them
least. Was not that a reasonable demand? Did
they tldnfc Uiey could get idong without
that? He thought not lie objected to the
tariff plank Tn tbe platform In the
committee, because it took the committee thlrtt-
sfx hours to frame it. and If It took thoeeaMe
gentlemen so tong to frame It, and to get It la
form, there must be some reason for that. If they
could not find out In thirty-six hours what they
wanted, how were hfa laboringmen to find out
what It meant? (Laughter). There was a radi
cal difference between lire commit
tee sod himself. The very able chair
man of tbe committee, Mr. Morrison,
thought there should be no *t»eh, or could be no
such thing as protection to American labor by tax*
atton. He (Butler) believed that there shoubl be
such a protection, such a foetering, such
a eherMilng. Mr. Morrison could not
yield hi* convictions, and be (Butler) could not
yield hfa, and therefore the committee had
a $1,200 clerkship. (Laughter.) Ills early educa
tion hod boon uselected, and In hfa will, written
by hi* own hand, he spelled clothes clonth*.
(Laughter.) For himself he wanted frequent
changes In office, in orderto counteract the great
tendency to havearistocratlc life offices, if office
was a good thing, then he wanted all tho people
to have a chance at it, aud if it was n bad thing,
then it was .too hard to put it on a poor
fellow for hi* whole life time. (Laughter.) In
ronclusion he raid that if tho convention told tho
working men and women of thu country that
they were to !jo. (lie would uot say protected,)
but fostered and cherished, then tho democratic
party would sweep tho country, otherwise they
would remt in iu their workshop on election day,
ami the democracy would be again defeated.
Theoretically he was a freo trader,
but practically, when two hundred million dol
lars of revenue had to be raised, on
import*, there could tie no such thing a* free
tra«|i-. and I<u. - ns >Mim- iMln-trl*- must be fos
tered, American men aud women almuld bo taken
rare of. [Applause.] He would call for a vote by
states on hi* substitute for tho tariff plank In tho
platform.
THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
Mr. Morrison moved tho previous question on
.jo report and .substitute, and it was
ordered. Tho vote wui then taken by state* oji
Butler’s substitute and It wn* rejected, ayes ?J%,

of the majority report.
A delegate from Georgia inquired whether there
was not an error in the print of the paragraph re
lating to internal revenue. He had been inform
ed by a member of tlio committee that In tho
original the sentence commenced ns follows:
“Tho system of direct taxation known a* tho
internal revenue i« n[war tax. rad should be abol
ished.” Tlio last four worcUbo!ngomitted|in tho

was no variation between thu manuscript and tho
