IrfAyarOfJ lod., HepL X ?jrty one state and three territories, repre sented by S delegate, met yesterday fn Tomliuon hall to repudiate the ac tion of the Chicago convention, to put forth a declaration of principle and name a presidential ticket. Senator l"alraer called the body to order at 12:30. After the prayer by Bishop White, of Indiana, for which the dele gate a roue. Senator Palmer announced that the secretary would read the call for the convention, and ex-Congresa-man Onthwaite, of Ohio, who came forward lor the purpose, wa reeog nized by a breezy burst ot handelap pioi?. ThK applause panctnated ererj telling point of the call during It reading, the statement that the Chi cago platform wa not entitled to the support of the true democrat being especially applauded. In reading the reference to "Jefferson. Jackson and Cleveland," Mr. Oathwaite pat parttcn Iar tre npon Mr. Cleveland' name, antf lronght the delegate to their feet with a tribute ol cheer loader than any wblcb had gone before. A call of stale to ascertain the rep resentation followed. Mr. Ilrennen. of Wisconsin, waalhen Introduced and SE3AT0R JOUS M. rAI.MKR. he read the report of the national com mittee. The recommendations that the rules which governed the last dem ocratic convention, which wa held in 1VS2, should govern thl convention wa cheered to the echo. Ex-(Jor. Hoswcll P. Flower, of Xcw York, wa presented a !rnporary chairman and wa greeted with cheer. A soon 5 order wa restored, he spoke in part as follows: This ratberlnff Is notice to thr world thai the demccrsllc partr h t vet surrendered to pfijmUtm snd anarchy The true principle of democracy, expounded br JtSenon and exem plified through century of nstloosl history, are not desd beeauso Ibcne principles hsvn been repudiated by a convention callln Itself democratic, but controlled by undemocratic Influence. Tnoso sr true democrats who re main true to the principles of tbelr party and who refuse to be bound by party declsra tlons which betray party faiths snd threaten both party and country with dlssster.

Tom Watson, ho is nevortholotK a 111 rupresentatlva of ,ho rovoluttoniiry forces behind him," Speaking of freo coinage, ho said: It Is not a difficult task to shew that under promt conditions free coinage of silver by the United Mtutes alono would result In silver munometillnm. I'oollih espcrlments In that direction halo Already caused the loss of a great part of our gold from circulation, l'art of It has gone uliroud, withdrawn from Invest ment In our Industries, and part has been boarded for tbe day when It should bring a high premium. Our goteruuient can got none except by Increasing the nallonul debt and the burden of taxation. About 110), twi.OOO In gold Is In the t'nlted States tress ury to support the parity, not stone of the lli8.0Oi,u of greenbacks, which was Its orlglnsl function, but tho IfliJ.ODO.umi of silver currency, which has been Issued slRce. The frsll foundstlon has been trrmbllng sluco IrVO with tbe additional weight put up on It. Only by heroic means has Iho gov ernment been able to prop up the Immense superstructure. Hut etcu the prospect of unlimited sliver coinage under pretent condi tions would uiako that foundation dltsppcur as If in a quicksand, and you and I and every man who hss property or wages would find their valuo changed from a gold to a all tcr measure. This wtll be the certain retult of Imposing such an additional burden upon tbe government, but wben with that In view wa consider tbe disposition of foreign got cm ments to strengthen their gold reserves and the suspension of free slltcr coinage In India, which bss hrretofuru been the world's sink for all Its surrlus silver, but Is so no longer, tbe conclusion Is Inevitable Ibst we would be re duced to a silver basis and to a very cbesp sil ver basis st that. Aftor showing all tho evil which ho thought would result from tho freo coinage of silver ho concluded by say ing: Against such threatened calamity we have met as democrats, as patriots, to protest. Our purvso Is too serious to permit differences on minor matters or peisoosl Jvslouslps to dlvldn our councils or weski-n our Influences.

After an announce ment that the committee would meet immediately, the convention at 3:63 took a recess until foaro clock. It wa 4.-S5 wben Temporary Chair man Flower rapped for order. The re rxrrt of the committees were called for. The report of the committee on credential wa first preheated by Chairman Ifreanan, of Wisconsin. The atatement ! tbe report that there were present 82 1 delegates to the con vention, representing 41 state and three territories, was heartily ap plauded. Then the committee on permanent organization reads it report. It recommended Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, tor permanent chairman; John II. Wilson, of Indiana, for seereta-y. and Walter Kessler, of Indiana, for Acrgeant-at-arms. It also reported an orderof business. The re port also recommended that the or ganization of the party be made -permanent, and that the national com mittee be empowered to call fnture convention. This portion of the re port met with a warm response from the delegates. The report wa adopt ed and .Mr. Ralllt, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Lawler, of Minnesota, escort ed Senator Caffery to the platform. In assuming tho travel, Senator Caf fery made a speech In which he re ferred to the Chicago convention In these words: Charged by oar prty with tbe 1 asctlocs of mlalstennz Jn Iu temple of faith, snd teach ing tbr people Its true doctrines, oar priests have deseerateil tts slurs broken its shrines and taught a falte doctrine to the people. We now enter tbe tanelusry of tbe temple and take possession of tbe ark of tLe covenant of our fal:h. which we will hereafter vigilantly xaard, prolc-et and defend. We will purify It desrerated altars snd rebuild Its broken shrines. And lest tbe hearts of the people be stolen awsy from true democratic faith the faltb of our fathers and founders we must separate from our brethren who have wrought this evil, and from those who have followed their evil teaching. We cannot follow them In the road they have taken, for their feet are swift to destruction, snd tbelr way Is to death. The ties that bound ns were as strong as hooks of steel, and we part from them In sorrow, John P. Irish, of California, took tho platform and mado a speech, during which he paid hi respects to the Chi cago platform, .Mr. llryan and Mr. Mc Kinlcy. After Irish had finished the convention adjourned until Thursday morning. The Herontl Dsy's rrorerdlngt. It was 11:38 o'clock Thursday when Chairman Caffery called the convention to order and, a the committee on reso lution wa not ready to report, ex Congressman W, C P. llrcckinridgo made a short speech in which he de nounced the Chicago platform and scored Mr. Ilrynn. A resolution wns then passed deploring the death of cx (lov, William Kussell, of Mawsnchu setU Then John Do Witt Warner, of New York; F. W. Lehman, of .Missouri, nnd W. I), ltrnum, of Indiana, ad dressed tho convention, followed by brief sjiccchos from Mr. Kckcln, of IUI-. nols, and .Mr. flammnnd, of Georgia, nfinr which Senator VUus, chairman man of tho committee on resolutions, mounted tho stage and read tho plat form to the convention, which was ns follows: The Platform. This contention has assembled to uphold tho principles, upon which depends the honor und welfare of tho American people. In order that democrats throughout the union may unlto their patriotic effort! to avert disaster from their country and ruin from tha party, Tho democrstlo party Is pledged to equal and exact justice to nil men of every creed nnd condition; to the largest freedom of the Indi vidual consistent with p.ood government to tha states In all their Juit rights; to economy In the public expenditures to tho mainte nance of the public faith and sound money and It Is oppocd to paternalitm und all class leg islation. Tho declarations of the Chicago convention attack Individual freudom. the right of prlvutc contract, tho Independence of the judiciary and tho authority of the president to enforce federal laws They advocate n reckless at tempt to Increase tho price of slltcr by legis lation to the debasement of our monetary stundard and thrrutoncd unlimited Issuo of paper money by the government, they ncan don for republican allies the democratic cause of tariff reform to court tho favor of proti-c-tlonlslsto their llical hfy In view of these and other grave departures from democratic principles, we cannot support tho Candi da le of that contention, nor be bound by Its acts. Tho democral'c party bus sur tlted many defeats, but could (not survive u victory won In behalf of tbe doctrine and I Killer proclaimed In Its name nt Chicago. Tho conditions, however, which make ponslblc such utterances for a national convention are the direct result of class legislation by tbe re publican party It still proclaims as it has for years the power aud duly of government to ralae and maintain prices by law, and It pro pocs no remedy for existing etlls except op pressive and unjust taxation. The national democracy here convened therefore renews Its declaration of a faith In democratic principles, especially as uppllcublo to tho conditions of the times. Tuxallon lutlff, excise or direct. Is rlgb' fully Imposed only for public purposes and not for private gain. Its amount Is Justly measured by public expenditures, which should bo limited by scrupulous economy. The umde riled by the treasury from tariff and exclso levies Is affected by the state of trade and of consumption. The amount required by the trcisury la determined by the appropriations insde by congreis. Tho demand of the repub lican party fur an increase In tbe tariff tax has Its pretext In the denclency of revenue wblcb hasltsrautos in the stagnation of trade and roluccd consumption, duo entirely to tho loss of confidence that has followed the populist threat of freo colusge and depreciation of our money find the republican practice of extrava. gunt appropriations beyond tbe needs of good govern u.enl. We arraign and condemn the popullstlo con ventions of Chicago and hi Ia)u1s for their co oporstlon with tbe republican party. Increas ing theso conditions, which are pleaded In Justification of n heavy Increase In the burdens of tho people and a further rosort to protec tion. Wo therefore denounce protection and Hs ally, free coinage of silver, as schemes for tho personal profit of a few at the expense of tbe many, and oppose tbo two parlies which stsnd for these schemes as hostile to tbo peo of the republic, whose ftod and shelter, com fort and property are, attacked by higher taxes unddepreclsted money. In nne, we reaffirm thv hlstorlo deinocrallo doctrluo of tariff for revenue only We demand thst beucefortb modern and lib eral policies toward American shipping shall take tha place of our Imitation of tbe reatrlct el statutes of the Uth century, which were abandoned by etery maritime power but the United States, and which, to the natlon'a humiliation, have driven American capita', und enterprise to tho use of alien Mags snd alien crews, have mado the stars and stripes an almost unknown em blem In foreign countries aid have virtually extinguished the race of American teamen.
