down to t c-rions business. The crowds
were moving tow ids the C iiseum
early in th- day, n tin- ;im<' of meeting

At ox mtly 10:50 .senator Daniel rappe l
for order. The minions of the sergeant
at-arms had some (hill ulty in clearing
the aisles. When ah were seated aud
order was obtained, it was found that
tu-spaces reserved for the New York,
Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland and
Now Jersey delegations were practically
vacant. The threat of a holt came home
with a realizing sense, but it was ex
plained that the d-legations w re still
in conference, discussing the situation.
After tho prayer. Senator Daniel an
nounced that the next busiine-of the
day would be the reports of the com
-1 mitti-es.
Chairman Atwood of Kansas of the
I credentials committee then presented
the report. It found the temporary roll
- correct, save in Michigan and Nebraska.
It recommended the seating of tho
Nebraska delegation heaih d by J. W. I

i a died further time to decide the Michi
gan contest.
T. J. Mahoney, one of the gold tlrl**-
gati-s from Nebraska, made a bn-f
speech of protest. He and Lis colleagues,
he said, well understood that they were
to he thrown oat, and at the head of tho
delegation they matched out. The re-
P >it of the committee was adopted by a

THIRD DAY’S WORK.
Tho Platform Reported—Senator Tillman

Chicago, July 9. —Lowering clouds
hung over the city at tho beginning of
tho third day of the national conven
tion, indicating a break in the perfect
j weather thus far enjoyed, aud suggest
ive of the gathering of the storm within
| the convention hail.
At 10:52 a. in. Chairman White
• dropped the gavel. The indescribable
buzz of thousands of voices gradually
1 subsided and tho delegates took their
j seats.
At 10:55 the Rev. Mr. Doan of Cedar
Rapids, la., the Episcopaieau minister
j who delivered the opening prayer Wed
j nr day, performed the same service
Thursday. Ho prayed that the conven
j tion might take action for the good of
i its country aud the glory of God.
; Chairman White handed the gavel
ovi r to Congressman Richardson of Ten
nessee, a slender, scholarly appearing
! man, who announced the committee 0:1
| resolutions ready to report and called
Senator Jones to the platform, who
made the committee’s report. Senator
Jones, who had been in the thickest of

man with a fierce silver moustache and
chin whiskers and white hair, which
falls over all of the ton of his head. He
adjusted a pair of g.Mdbowed spectacles
and began to read the financial plank of
the platform, which Colonel Charles H.
Junes, the St. Louis journalist, baa
written.
The report of the minority was read
by J. 11. Wade of Ohio, a former read
ing clerk of the liaise of representa
tives. The gold people rose and cheered,
but after the outbreak of Wednesday,
these forces were faint.
Senator Ben Tillman of Soutli Caro
-1 aa mounted the stage to open the great
debate in behalf of free coinage.
He introduced himself to them by
saying that he came before them not as

the pit greeted rins auuouuoemant, but
it was drowned in the storm of hisses
from tho gulioriqp, wliieh was increased
to a perfect whirlwind of sibilant sounds
as lie added:
"I came from a state which was the
j homo of secession.”
“Secession," ho continued, while the
j galleries hissed, "brought about the
j war, the war which emancipated the
I negro.
The storm of hisses issued forth again
| when he repudiated the denial that this
was a sectional contest.
"I say it is a sectional issue,” lie
cried, “and it will prevail.”
Senator Tillman concluded by pledg
ing the solid vote of South Carolina to
any good straight silver candidate.
As he descended from Hie stage tho
delegates sot, up a great shout for Hill.
But suddenly the commanding figure of
I Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of
the resolutions committ -e, mounted the
stage.
Senator Junes Htal.es a Speech.
He held his hand out for silence. Tho
noise fellaway be'ore his strong pres
ence. In cleai ton hi ; >olo .zed for
appearing befote S ator liill. He iiad
not int- ded to say . word, he said, big
he could not allow the charge of Mr
Tillman that, this was a sectional issuo
to pass unchallenged.
“I am a southern man.” continued
Senator Jones. “I carried a musket
during the war. I repudiate the sug
gestion that this question knows any
section. ” Flying flags, hats and hand
kerchiefs and the approving roar of 15,-
099 throats answered. Tho New York,
Massachusetts and other eastern delega
tions joined heartily in this rejection of
the extreme Tillman sentiment.
After this emphatic repudiation of
Mr. Tillman’s assertion, Senator Jones
left tlie platform.
Ovation to Senator Hill.
Senator Hill ascended the platform
amid a perfect storm of applause. He
shook the hand of the presiding officer,
and then, with a smile, bowed his ac
knowledgment to tho shouting, gestic
ulating crowd. Mon on their chairs
waiving handkerchiefs, flags aud toss
ing hats in the air. The first volume
of applause would no sooner die away
than it would again be taken up and
cheered and re-eclioeil through the
building.

THE FOURTH DAY.
\V. J. Ur van of Nebra-ka Nominated For
President on tlie Fiftli ltallot.
Chicago, July 10.— The docks wore
cleared for the balloting which began
j when the Democratic national cobven
! tion reassembled at 11 o’clock. The
j real struggle opened with the delegates
I wrought to an intense pitch over the
sensational developments of Thursday
night when, after the platform had been
adopted, the Bryan wave swept through
the convention and threatened for a
time to stampede it then and there. It

giving our. the eloquent young Nebras
kan would have undoubtedly been 110 m
rated for president. Bryan's great
I --.wh, favoring the adoption of the
I , p.tfArm as submitted by the majority
of the committee on resolutions, turned
j an overwhelming tide in his favor, and,
' as before stated, had the vote been taken
Thursday evening, he would have won
easily.
Chairman \Yhite, who had recovered
his voice, stepped to the front of the
stage. Running his eye for a couple of
seconds over acres of people, he glanced
down at the delegations in the pit and
with a heavy whack of the gavel called
tlie convention to order.
The chairman then announced that
: tho first business was the call of states
i
lor nominations. Thereupon Mr. liar
! rity of Pennsylvania, tho chairman of
j the national committee mounted his
chair and placed in nomination ex Gov
ernor Robert T. Pattison.
Delegate Miller of Oregon added to
tire list of nominations the name of Syl
| vestcr Penuoyer of Oregon. The names
jof Bland, Bryan, Blackburn, Boies,
Matthews, McLean, Pattison and Penn
| oyer were before the convention.
'lhere was no other nominations, and
Chairman White announced that the
! rollcall of the states for the nomination
lof president would proceed. A rustle
| of excitement swept over the hall, sue
j ceeded by an intently eager quiet,
j Then Alabama was called and the
' chairman said that five of her delegates
I being gold standard men desired to vote
' for that “splendid type of the New
! England Democracy, William E. Rus
j sell of Massachusetts, but under the
| rules he cast their 22 votes for Horace
I Boies.” The announcement brought out
| a banner bearing the likeness of her
j governor from the lowa section and
I cheer after cheer greeted it.
The 16 votes of Arkansas, announced
I for Bland by Senator Berry, gave the
| supporters of ‘‘the great commoner,” as
he designated him, opportunity to yell,
I which they improved. California’s vote
| was much scattered, 9 for Blackburn, 2
j for Boies, 1 for Campbell, 2 for Bryan
j and 2 for Matthews, and Blackburn’s
name was giveu a cheer, while the oth
ers failed of recognition.
The result as announced bv tho read
ing clerk was as fallows: Bland, 223;

} The second roll was begun and fur
nished a sensation at the outset, for
Alabama shifted her 22 votes for Bland
to Bryan, aud the young Nebraskan’s

friends waived their handkerchiefs.
Bryan gained 3 in the California delega
tion 011 a poll. Colorado’s votes for
Teller were again hissed and cheered.
Vice President Stevenson captured one
of Bland’s votes in Florida.
Wyoming changed her 6 votes from
Blackburn to Bryan. John McLean los

captured 3of them. The name of

DEMOCR ATIC PL AT FORM.
A Ringing Declaration For the Free Coin
age of Silr^—Sympathy For Cuba, Etc.
I'REAMBLE—»We, tlie Democrats of
the United States, in national conven
tion assembled, do reaffirm our allegi
ance to tlie essential principles of justice
and liberty upon which our institutions
ore founded, and which the Democratic
party has advocated from Jefferson’s
time to our own—freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, freedom of con
science, the preservation of personal
rights, the equality of all citizens beforo
the law, and the faithful observance of
the constitutional limitations. During
all these years the Democratic party has
resisted the tendency of selfish interests
to the centralization of government
power, and steadfastly maintained tho
integrity of the dual scheme of govern
ment established by the founders of this
republic of republics. Under its guid
ance and teachings tho great principle
of local self government has found its
best expression in the maintenance of
rights of the states and its assertion of
the necessity of confining the general
government to the exercise of the pow
ers granted by the constitution of the
United States. The constitution of tho
United States guarantees to every citi
zen the rights of civil and religious lib
erty. The Democratic party has always
been the exponent of political liberty
and religious freedom, and it renews its
obligations and reaffirms its devotion to
these fundamental principles of the con
stitution.
MONEY QUESTION - Recognizing
that the money question is paramount
to all others at this time, we invite at
tention to tlie fact that the federal con
stitution names silver and gold together
as the money metals of the United States,
and that the first coinage law passed by
congress under tlie constitution made
tlie silver dollar the monetary unit and
admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio
based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, de
monetizing silver without the knowledge
I or the approval of the American people,
has resulted in the appreciation of gold
and a corresponding fall in the prices -of
commodities produced by the people; a
heavy increase in the burden of taxation
and of all debts, public and private; the
enrichment of the money-lending class
at home and abroad; tlie prostration of
industry and impoverishment of the
people.
1 AGAINST GOLD -TAN D ARY -We
are unalterably opposed to monomet
allism, which has locked fast the pros
perity of an industrial people in the
paralysis of hard times. Gold mono
metallism is a British policy, and its
adoption has brought other nations into
financial servitude to London. It is
not only un- American hut anti-Ameri
can, and it can he fastened on tho
United States only by the stifling of
that spirit and love of liberty which
proclaimed our political independence
in 1 776 and won it in the war of the rev
olution.
FREE COINAGE DEM ANDED—We
demand the free and unlimited coinage
of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for tho aid or consent of any other na
tion. Wo demand that the standard
silver dollar shall be a full legal tender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public
and private, and we favor such litiga
tion as will prevent for the future the
demonetization of any kind of legal ten
der money by private contract.
We are opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the holders
of tlie obligations of the United States
the option reserved by the law to the
government of redeeming such obliga
tions in either silver coin or gold coin.
AGAINST BOND ISSUES—Wo are
opposed to the issuing of interest bear
ing bonds of the United States in* time
of peace and condemn the trafficking
| with banking syndicates which, in ex
change for bonds and at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the federal
treasury with gold to maintain tlie pol
icy of gold monometallism.
Congress alone has the power to coin
and issue money, and President Jackson
declared that this power could not be
delegated to corporations or individuals.
We, therefore, denounce the issuance
of notes intended to circulate as money
by national banks as iii derogation of
the constitution; and we demand that
all paper which is made a legal tender
| for public and private debts, or which
is receivable for dues to the United
States shall bo issued by the goveru
| ment of the United States and shall be
redeemable in coin.
A REVENUE TARIFF—We hold
that tariff duties sh'-uld be levied for
purposes of revenue, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally through
out the eountiy and not discriminate be
tween class or section, and that taxation
should be limited by the needs of the
j government, honestly and economically
administered. We denounce as disturb*
! ing to business the Republican threat to
restore the McKinley law, which has
twice been condemned by the people in
national elections, and which, enacted
under the false plea of protection to home
industries, proved a prolific breeder of
trusts and monopolies, enriched the few
at the expense of the E’auy, restricted
trade and deprived the producers of the
great American star;', s of acces.-; a their
natural markets.
Until the money question is settled,
we are opposed to any agitation for fur
ther changes in our tariff laws, except
such as are necessary to meet the deficit
in revenue caused by the adverse de
cision of the supreme court on the in
come tax. But for this decision by the
supreme court, there would be no deficit
in the revenue under the law passed by
a Democratic congress in strict pursu
ance of uniform decisions of that court
for nearly 100 years, that court having
in that decision sustained constitutional
objections to its enactment which had
previously been overruled by the ablest
judges who have ever sat on that bench.
We declare that it is the duty of con
gress to use all the constitutional power
which remains after that decision or

c I tuted, so that the burdens of taxation
3 ; may be equally and impartially laid, to
• ; the end that wealth may bear its due
-i j proportion of the expenses of the gov
- ! eminent.
3 | KEEP OUT PAUPERS —We hold
i | that the most efficient way of pro
l I tecting American labor is to prevent
C the importation of foreign pauper la
-1 bor to compote with it in the homo
- market, and that the value of the home
> market to our American farmers and
3 artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious
• monetary system which depresses the
- prices of their products below the cost
i of production and thus deprives them
-of the means of purchasing the products
i of our home manufactories, and as labor
3 creates the wealth of the country, wo
. demand the passage of such laws as
may be necessary to protect it in all its
- rights.
t We are in favor of arbitration of dis
. ferences between employers engaged in
. interstate commerce and their employes
r and recommend such legislation as is
, necessary to carry out this principle,
r The absorption of wealth by tho few,
3 the consolidation of our leading railroad
1 systems and the formation of trusts and
> pools require a stricter control by tho
federal government of those arteries of
. commerce. We demand the enlarge*
3 meat of the powers of the interstate
, commerce commission and such restric*
L tions and guarantees in the control of
' l ailroads as will protect the people from
t robbery and oppression,
t REPUBLICAN WASTE—We do
> nounce tlie profligate waste of money
. wrung from the people by oppressive
- taxation and the lavish appropriations
, of recent Republican _congress.es, which
have kept taxes high, while tho labor
> that pays them is unemployed and the
products of the people's toil are de
pressed in price till they no longer repay
> the cost of production.
We demand a return to that simplic
-5 ity and economy which befits a Demo*
. cratic government and a reduction in
; the number of useless offices, the sala
ries of which dffiu the svkztancp of
i people.
’ FEDERAL INTERFERENCE—Wo
[ denounce arbitrary interior' ice uy fed
, | eral authorities in local affair i as a vio
lation of the constitution of the United
States and a crime against free institu
. tions, and we especially object to gov
. eminent by injunction as a new and
highly dangerous form of oppression by
- whieh federal judges, in contempt of
the laws of the states and rights of citi
[ zeus, become at once legislators, judges
and executioners, and we approve tho
; bill passed at the last session of tho
United States senate and now pending
> in the house of representatives, relative
. to Contempts iu federal courts, and pro
viding trials by jury in certain cases of
\ contempt.
5 No discrimination should be indulged
5 by the government of the United -states
, in favor of its debtors.
We approve the refusal of the Fifty
third congress to pass the Pacific rail
, road funding bill and denounce the
. i efforts of the present Republican con
, | gress to enact a similar measure.
, J AS TO PENSlONS—Recognizing tho
] j just claims of deserving union soldiers,
. j we heartily indorse the rule of the pres-
j ent commissioner of pensions, that no
| name shall he arbitrarily dropped from
j the pension roll, and the fact of enlist
, j ment and service should be deemed con
l ; elusive evidence against disease and dis
, j ability before enlistment.
| NEW STATES—We favor the ad
} ! mission of the territories of New Mex
t | ico, Oklahoma and Arizona into the
£ Union as states, and we favor the early
t admission of all the territories having
. ; the necessary population and resources
l to entitle them to statehood, and while
i they remain territories we hold that tho
j officials appointed to administer tho gov
, ernment of any toritory, together with
; the District of Columbia and Alaska,
I should be bona fide residents of the ter
ritory or district in which their duties
are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes iu home
rule, and that all public lands of the
{ ! United States should be appropriated to
s the establishment of free homes for
, American citizens.
We recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted a delegate in coil*
1 gress, and that the general laud and
’ timber laws of the United States be ex
i tended to said territory.
I THE MONROE DOCTRINE —The
3 Monroe doctrine, as originally declared
• and as interpreted by succeeding presi
, dents, is a permanent part of the for-
eigu policy of the United States and
must at all times be maintained.
' SYMP. THY FOR CUBA—We ex
tent onr • nipathy to the people of
Cuba in he;- aroic sti a;for liberty
and 1 '.depen nee.
TENURE OF OFFICE—We are op
: posed to life tenure in the public ser
-6 vice. V" favor appointments based
upon merit, fixed terms of office and such
an administration of the civil service
’ laws as will afford equal opportunities
' to all citizens of ascertained fitness.
t We declare it to be the unwritten law
’ of this republic, established by custom
• and usage of 100 years and sanctioned
6 by the examples of the greatest and
r wisest of those who founded and have
\ maintained onr government, that no
man should be eligible for a third term |
for the p. “sidential office.
c IMPROVE WATERWAYS The
■ federal g. y mment should care for and
’ improve t.a a Mississippi river and other
f great waterways of tlie republic so as to
r secure for tlie interior states cheap, and
easy transportation to tidewater. When
any waterway of the republic is of suffi
cient importance to need aid from the
government, such aid should be ex
tended upon a definite plan of continu
ous work until permanent improvement
is secured.
SUBMlTTED—Confiding in tlie jus
tice of our cause and the necessity of its
success at the polls, we submit the fore
going declaration of principles and pur
poses to the considerate judgment of tho
American people. We invite the sup
port of all citizens who approve them
and who desire to have them made ef
fective through legislation for tho relief
of the people and tho restoration of tho
country’s prosperity.
