[Loud and prolonged linplause.} Gentlemen of the convention, we hear from the south that her electoral vote will go for the nom inee of this convention. The gcutlemau who pre ceded me said that any decent, honest 'democrat was good enough for them. Not so, the south lias kept the faith unfalteringly and un flinchingly (applabsc), but it must be seen to that no democratic convention commits itself to h nomination ot/iiidmince that will, in the slight- 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. Mr. Livingston, of 11 bwouri, rose to second tUe . -i Would require utifcainlbtu ton-. ... matter,” said Livlugston, “wo have got our 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. t is that of a man lu the prime and vigor of his manhood, with ever)' faculty trained iu practical government. An official life of 2ft yean Tics behind him, clear, luminous and pnre. No dishonest action, no corrupt practice, hie* ever stained his escutcheon. [Applause.J While most of his contemporaries in official life have grown S ich through the devious and unknown means, e is still a poor man. [Cheers.] Whose highest aim has been fitly to serve his people and his republic. Democrats, the hour has been struck for the nomination of a democrat groun ded in the faith uud tried in the -tern crucible of 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, iiuuuuawuii UEjuiumiucu wnt win, *« vuw est degree, imperil those states in tho future. (Ap plause.) We are i ot here for this day alone, nor iot this g<*n«**.itt‘*pi. The best man that the demo cratic party cm give will be none too 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 nee, It must not U> a rent and tattered garmeut, such as New York presents, but it must be a whole and spotless garment. Wo of Massachusetts, voting as wc please nnd for whom wc please, and not simply as a majority, but almost the entire dele-, Ration will vote for Thomas F. Bayard. Wc. I say, voting our own free choice, not simply with the voice, but with the vote; not with our hands tied, not enslaved, not crushed down und then given n man and forced to fight for him. Wo will take the nominee of the convention, whoever he Is, and carry the state of Massachusetts surely if 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 Are not envoys here. They arc not heralds here, i They are slaves, speaking with the tongue of their masters. (Cheers and wild applause, nnd cries r* “Good, Good.”) Gentlemen, yon who wish to s the democracy triumphant, enn you beliefs that tho representatives New York sent here— r A delegate—Hit thenfOgalu.

Wo are here to do right tcH tho cud. We arc not degrading this great coni vcnttonwlth our state quarrels. (Cheers). New York in the last three successive conventions has torn the convention, almost upset tho conven-r I ion, with their quarrels and bickering- v fills is not the place for them.

He said that there was a conviction in the Und that H wisdom control* the counsels of the democratic party in making a platform broad enough for every democrat to stand upon, and in placing upon it a candidate of transcendent ability, of pure life, success lies in the results of its deliberations.

Rhode IsUud being called, the chairman oflthat delegation uuuounced that Rhode Island had no •candidate to offer. * Mr. Abbott, chairman of the Massachusetts dele- S Uon, said that when the state was called yester- y, she presented no name. Now in behalf of a Mr. Cummings, of Masrachtuetts, seconding Bayard’s nomination, said: Mr. Chairman and fellow democrats of the con but tori you are _ r ninlitfiTH sind Laudation that bare been made "from this platform. We, of Massachusetts, came here be lieving that with her favored son. we could carry that state for the democratic party in the national election, and we are equally sure that there is still another name that may be called, that can place Massachusetts (applause) in the ranks of the state* that shall give their vote* for the nominee of this convention, and regenerate and restore her to the democratic party. (Applause.) For sixty years Ma*sachu«eUa has not firm tier electoral vote to a democratic . upon frying to drown each other out). Ah! gentlemen, (hero tho sneaker turned to the audience nnd waved bis hand threat eningly at the parties who were indulging iu the clcmonstratfon*.)

We are anxious that the volco of the toiling millions of this country, already raised In open war against the candidate here named, In revolt that threat- on* in the next momeut to turn Into rebellion, We are anxious for you to hear his voice, and I pause before you slap them on tho face. (Ap plause.) The laboring musses of the country are found working In * the ranks of tho democratic party. The laboring masses of the country, at least auebof them as are represented In my dis trict, und It bus been the fighting district of labor in this country, and represents the antagonism and struggle that Inborhaabad uud has mado.

Two years ago Massachu setts fell into column, and was stricken down *— republican practices and republican devices. 310,000 votes cast, the democratic party cast inoro than 130,000 of them.

Give us a man that the independent*, that the staunch and true democrats, that the IalK>r element aud anti-monopolists will work for, and want, Thomas F Bayard,aud Massachusetts Is democratic statu. [Loud applause.] SOUTH CAROLINA’S VOICE. When South Carolina was reached, Wade Hamp ton arose aud wild: “Mr. Chairman “(loud erics of “platform."] “Mr Chairman, South Caroliuahas no candidate topreoent.” (Loud cries of “platform, platform.”) The chair—Will the gentleman take the plat form? | Mr. Hampton—I am not golngto make a Speech; 1 cannot, very well, take that platform. The platform of the democratic party Is not yet ar ranged. [Loud laughter and applause.] South I Carolina has no candidate to present. Her dele gates have come here uninstructed und unpledged but a sister state has done us the honor to ask that one of our delegates should be hoard in behalf of the pure and able statesmen from Delaware. [Loud applause.) 1 have the honor to present to the convention lion. Leroy F» Yeoman, who. at the request of Delaware, will second the nomina tion ot Mr. Bayard. [Cries of “good, good,” and applause.] .Mr. Youman, of South Carolina, then seconded the nomination of Bayard. Mr. Rose of Arkansas, stated that after much consultation and consideration, the Arkansas delegation had determined unanimously to cast its vote for Cleveland, of New York. (Applause). H the VOICE OP WISCONSIN. When Wisconsin was called, Mr. Delaney of that state said: “Mr. chairman, In accordance with the vote taken in the Wisconsin delegation, a majority of that delegation desire to second the nomination of the governor of New York. [Cheers and swing ing of bats tud handkerchiefs by a large fraction of the convention and many of the audience.) and sir, it is their desire to be heard by the distinguished chairman of the delegation. General Bragg, of Wisconsin. [Cheers, and cries of Bragg. Bragg.] While General Bragg was on his way to the plat form, he was greeted with cheers, iu the midst of which a voice was heard shouting: “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 General Edward fl. Bragg, of Wisconsin." [Cheera.J General Bragg spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the convention: It is with feel ings of no ordinary pride that I fill the post that has been assigned tome Unlay. Grim and gray personally lighting the battles of the demo cratic party, I stand today to voice the sentiment of the young men of my state, when I speak for Grover Cleveland, of New York, (Cheers). His flame is upon their lips. His name is I in their hearts. and he .is the choice, not only of that band of young men, but be is the choice of all those who desire, for the tiret time, as young men, to cast their vote iu November for a candidate nominated by this con vention. They love him, gentlemen, and respect him not only lor himself, for bis character, for his Integrity and judgment ami iron will, but they lore him most for the enemies he has made. VP (Loud applause, whkb lasted for several minutes, are in the midst of which r MS. GRADY'S INTEERrmON. Mr. Grady, of New York, arose in front of the chairman’s desk and interrupted the speaker as follows: Mr. Chairman, on behalf of hi* enemies I reciprocated that sentiment, and we are proud H-reojim Kiiunuiir, __ the muting off at access to the flesh pots to those who desire to fatten upon them (loud and long continued ap plause). I do not assume here to speak for labor. The child of man who always earned bis daily bread by his dally labor, brought up for more than a quarter of century from boyhood to-manhood, among tho laborers that huve mado the great northwest what It is, 1 do not assume to speak for iftlmr. Labor is imt represented in pnlitiral ficonvantlons by the soft lmml of t he political trick ster, no matter where you find him. (Applause). The men who follow conventions and talk about the rights of labor arc tho .Swiss contingent who placo their tent wherever tho prospect of profit is greatest. (Loud applause and cries of “bully for you"). While tne honest, intelligent, horny banded laborer will be found fol lowing tho old democratic flag, thank ing God tlmt its self styled leaders have gone where they belong. They come hero to talk of labor. Yes, their labor has been upon the crank of tho machine, (immenseapplause und laughter) nnd their study has beou politital die* cauery in midnight conclaves. Wo nro told the democratic party is suffering from fearfuljxriltloal disorders by these men. If wo aro to Judge from past experience, tho disorders iu the quarters where they nro alleged to exist, can only be cured by a reapplication of fed eral soap. (Laughton. I have heard it said that tho states of the northwest ought to have no voice 111 this nomination. I have heard it said: “Whnt boots it what their opinion may be?” What was it that placed the great states Of the northwest in tho republican column? It was because they fol lowed, blindly, implicitly, tho old lenders, nnd they led the party of tho uulon to defeat, ami they placed our states down tifider thousands and thousands of republican majorities. We have fought our way steudily upwards. We see through tho water which has been so deep above our heads, now glimmer Jng again of sunlight, und wo ask to breathe onco inure the air ol victory.

But it is Indis- pousftble for the practical application and enforce- men:, of tlieso fundamental principles, that the government should uot always be controlled by mu political party. A frequent change of admin- I*trail, m Is as necessary as a constant recurrence to tne popular will. Otherwise abuses grow and i the government, Instead of being carried on for the general welfare b< comes an in strumentality for imposing heavy burdens upon many who are governed for tho benefit of the few who govern. Ihe public servants thus become arbitrary. This is uow the condition of tho coun try; hence a change Is demanded. , 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 have ■ been brought to light In every department of tho government me fciij.lcleut to have called for reform within two rcpulj.fi|ui party, yet those In authority, mndo rcekliMhy long possession of power, have sue- 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, hasi mutiny decayed in moral character and i>ollt- - dty. Its platform promises area mere Is freest and most enlightened. It should, there fore, be fostered and cherished. We favor the re- peal of nil buys restricting the freo action of labor and the enactment of laws by which labor organi sations may be incorporated, and of all such legls latlon as will tend to enlighten the people the truu relation of capital aud labor. THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. We believe that tho publiu bind* ought, ns far ns possib e, to be kept as homesteads for actual set tler*; that all unearned lauds heretofore Hnprovt- deutly granted to railroad corporation* by the ac tion of the republican party, should bo restored to the public domain, and that no more gruuts of bunts-snail be made to corporations, or be allowed to fa 1 Into the ownership of alien absentees.

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.

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.

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, TUF.

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%, nays 711,'4 When the vote of Indiana was being announced, Henator Voorheoa stated tlmt ho wish* cd sneefaliy to havo his voto recorded in the affir mative. 1 he question recurred on the adoption 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 print. The chairman, after inquiry, stated tlmt there was no variation between thu manuscript and tho print, Proceeding tu llnllot, THE FIRST VOTE GIVE* C LEVELAND THE LEAD.
