(Ikn-.i.emia of tiii: Convention: I ?
am profoundly thankful /or the distill* J
guished honor of presiding over such a
convention us this, and am mindful that
I shall need your indulgence and support
during its deliberations. In behalf t
of i lic Democracy of the Great West, o
where cheaper necessaries of life are pre- c
ferrcd t<? cheap intoxicants, I congnit- ?
ulatc you upon the results of the Nil- 0
tio'ial Convention held at St. Louis and ?
Jin? favorable political outlook. t
It is fitting that on this anniversary g
of the nation's birth, the Democracy $
should assemble for consultation, ex- ^
change of congratulations, and. discuss
means to the final overthrow of the ene- j,
mies of good government. The day and ?
the occlusion remind us that Jefferson, H
who penned the immortal Declaration e
of Independence, was the father ami v
founder of our party; that In* ga\V to ?
the country the ownership and control a
of the Father of Waters, and added an n
finpire to its then existing territory; 'j
that .Idler-son and his party fashioned ^
the grant of the Northwest Territory,
which dedicated it to freedom and free H
schools fo.- ever; that the party of Jeffersoii
extended the elective franchise N'
until now it is almost universal; gave us ^
iree homesteads upon the public domain- ?
and that the Democratic party of to-day t,
is restoring ami has already restored t,
eighty or more millions of acres of it to t,
the people which had been granted by y
the Republican party to railroad corpor- c
atious. It was tho teachings of Jeffer
- ?? ? I ,???.. Sj?or" KhltO
ami California, with its vast wealth of
silver ami gold.
Nor is this all. The day of our meeting
and the occasion further remind uk
that .Madison, another of our illustrious
leaders, was the father of the constitution
which created the best government
on earth; that Monroe, a pioneer in Democracy,
gave us the Monroe doctrine
and the Florida# with their beautiful
magnolia graves ami orange blossoms;
that Jackson, another beacon light in
the pathway of Democracy, the hero of
the battle of New Orleans, by his iron
hand and indomitable will struck down
that hvdra-headed monster of monopolists
and corruption, the United States
Hank and all its branches. It should
he Itoruo in mind that Democratic
doctrines are woven into the very being
and into every liber of our government;
that its majestic and well-rounded proportions
have been formed out of Democratic
thought and fashioned by Democratic
bauds.
The Democratic party is the child
of the constitution, and is its natural
interpreter, supporter and defender.
It is the party of the people
and ever has been and is the relentless
enemy of centralized power. It is tlie
toe of monopolies, of modern trusts; it
believes with Cleveland "that a public
o/flce in a public trust. It is the foe 01 |
unnecessary ami unjust taxation, be- ,
licvis in "freer" but not free trade, in a
revision of existing tariff; to reduce
taxation and avoid a corrupting surplus
and fxtravacnnco in expenditures.
Within the past few years another
Krcat luminary lias arisen in the Kast.
At iir?t it was only discernible above the
huri/on, but it has ascended higher and
higher until now, like the star that
guided the wise men to the manger at
Bethlehem it has become the bright,
particular ami political star in the constellation
that in lighting the pathway of
all who desire economy in taxation and
expenditures; who have tired of Republican
misrule and extravagance; who re
speet the rights of labor aim \i? just uemauds;
who oppose the importation of
pauper labor; who desire cheaper lumber,
fuel, clothing and other necessaries
?>f life, and are not willing to siftrender
these to free whisky and tobacco. The
friend of the laborers, the friend of the
honest soldier, with convictions and
courage to voice them, the restorer of a
Government that had drifted from its
moorings back to the teachings of the
doctrines of its founders. The general
exclamation is; All bail Urover Cleveland,
President of the United States,
who bv the Divine grace wilJTid
edin November next for a second term. I
The Republican party founded by Lincoln.
Seward, Greeley and Chase was
sectional; it was organized for a single
purpose; has served its day and genera-1
tion, ami under the strong guiding hand
of Cleveland will boou be u thing of the
past with the other parties that from
time to time have contested with the
Democratic party for public favor. The
Democratic party is as broad as the
country, was and is founded upon the
Constitution of the Union, the respecter
of the right and opinions of the people
of whatever nationality; n believer in
home rule here as well as abroad, and
will and must live so long as constitutional
government shull endure. '
Assembled here, as we are, in national
convention, we (ran ratify the nomination
of Cleveland and that grand old

well as provide for the decent
interment of the Chicago platform and
its candidates, framed and selected by

The Committee on Resolutions submitted
its report, which was adopted.
II. A. Booth, of Ohio, then introduced
R. A. Jones (colored), editor of the
Cleveland Globe. Mr. Jones was received
with great applause. He said
that the face of the colored man was
used as a badge by the Republican party,
and that ho was here to advoeate emancipation.
By that he meant to restrain
those Republicans who would steal the
country and put it in the pockets of one
or two "men. Mr. Jones then presented

wood taken from the house of Thomas
Jefferson, in In-half of the negro Democrate
of the United Suites. Three cheers
were given for the colored editor.
The Chairman, in receiving the gavel,
'aid it was a thing of beauty and would
be a joy forever.
The rules were then passed and the
following passed with a hurrah:
Ranlval, That this convention sends
jongratulations and greetings to the vct3rails
of the North and South who have
recently cotnmingeled in a spirit of harmony
and patriotism on the historic
ield of Gettysburg, and view with profound
emotion and gratitude the unity

the St. Louis platform. It was further
stated that there was a minority report
upon tho Chinese question. Ex-Kepreicntative
Willis, of Kentucky, a member
of tho Committee on Resolutions,
uul the gentleman who hadoU'ered the
Chinese resolution stated that the difference
in the committee was merely
one of propriety and that there was
really no minority report. The committee
had been unanimous in opposition
to Chinese immigration, but the committee
had not thought it prudent to enter
into an issue which had properly
been met by the St. Louis convention.

and move! the adoption of the
majority report This was agreed to
after an earnest protest from Mr. Taylor,
of Massachusetts. who thought that
some action should be taken on the
Chinese question, in view of the fact
that since the meetinc of the Democratic
Convention in St. Louis the Itepublicans
had met in Chicago and placed
in nomination a man who was
named lien Harrison. The Democratic
party and the laboring men who
made up ita bone and sinew in the
North were against Ben Harrison on all
principles and especially on the Chinese
question. But his protest proved unavailing,
and the report of the Commit-1
Resolutions was adopted without
an yuiiflJifc th>V*?
On motion of Mr. crchi?y, 01 Wisconsin,
it was ordered that the officers of
tins organisation l?e a committee to call
upon President Cleveland and 3lr. Thur
man to extend to them the congratulations
of this convention, to inform them
of its doings and to pledge to them its
hearty support in the impending campaign.
HK.VATOH KKNNA,
of West Virginia, congratulated the assemblage
upon the happy result of its
deliberations. It was time now, he
said, that each member of the committee
should resolve himself into a -Democratic
campaign committee, and go home
and go to work.
A resolution commending the reflection
of Hon. William II. Barnum,chairman
of the National Committee,
was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Wilson, of Kentucky, found fault
that a resolution offered by him for the
fiublication aud distribution of the
'resident's message, and of speeches on
the tariirdelivered by prominent Democrats
had not been read to the convention,
but had been referred to the Committee
on Resolutions and remained unacted
ujjon, but he was placated when,
at his request, tho baud struck up the
new campaign song composed by Willis
Hays, of tauisville, and the convention I
with a will joined in the refrain.
After passing a number of votes of
thanks and giving threecneere lor uiuur-1
man Winans as the next Governor of
Wisconsin the convention adjourned

Baltimore, July 5.?A mass meeting
was held in the main hall of the Academy
of Music this evening which was
largely attended. As Governor Jackson,
arui in arm with General Fitxhugh J^eo,
entered the box reserved for the orators
of the evening, he was greeted with a
round of applause which broke out
afresh and was long continued.
The meeting was called to order by
Governor Jackson who presented Governor
Lee.
Governor Lee tendered his grateful
acknowledgements/or the applause with
which the announcement of his name
was received, lie alluded to the proceedings
of the convention and congratulated
the young Democrats before him
on not having to contend with the great
question as to the right of a State to
withdraw from the Union. The decision
of that question had been left to
the sword, and b>* the sword the qucs
won iiiiu ui'un uetiuuu, ?uiu mj-uu? ??ginia
joined all the other States of the
Union in the single sole desire to promote*
the glory and grandeur and growth
of the American Republic. ]Applause.]
He eulogized the public action ot
President Cleveland, and at the mention
of the President's name the large audience
broke into applause, which was repeated
when reference was made to the
action of the St. Louis convention.
The name of General Robert K. Lee,
lis it fell from the lips of his relative,
was received with tremendous applause.
General Lee's saddle, said Governor
Lee, was not stained with blood, as
charged by John Sherman, for General
Leo had fought, as others had fought,
for whut he thought to be his constitutional
privileges and rights.
Referring to tho tariff issue, he denounced
as untrue tho charge that the
Democratic party was a free trade party,
mid declared that the Mills bill was the
embodiment of the Democratic doctrine
of protection to the many and
not of the rich men or the few.
Governor Lee was followed by District
Attorney John R. Fellows, of New York.
Referring to the ancestry of Senator
Harrison, Col. Fellows paid a tribute to
the memory of William Henry Harrison,
dui Huggutjii'u utut u grunuuiuicr ? uiuti:
was somewhat like a grand father's clock
which "stopped short, neverto go again,
when the old man died."
A cordial reception awaited Keprejentative
Breekenridge, of Kentucky,
when lie stepped upon the platform.
The iirst necessity, he said, of political
reform was the defeat and disintegration
)(the Republican party. To this end the
tvhole labor of the llmnocratic party
>ught to be directe?^ It was no
:asy victory which the Democratic party
vas about to gain; and if the Democracy
vent into the battle underestimating
he strength of the enemy it might meet
vith defeat, lie felicitated himself
hat he had lived to participate in
i canvass which was free from
lectional hate and sectional feeling.
Applause.] The barriers of section had
>een torn down. The miserable peraonilties
of polities had been driven with
.he whip and with scorn into the obscurity,
and out of the confusion of poliics
had come a clear and definite issue
ipon which statesman could argue and
ibout which gentlemen could talk.

listanee of 500 feet, passing under four
railroad tracks and the highway. In
some manner, the inflammable stuff was
ignited and in an instant the surface was
a mass of flame, which quickly ran
back to the mouth of the sewer, where it
was held in check.
Two boys named Cullis were playing
near or in the river at the time and both
were horribly burued. The elder,
aged about fifteen years, was burned
almost to a crisp, the fiesh hanging in
Bhreds from his limbs. If is clothing
was entirely burned from his body.
Death is momentarily expected. The
other, a younger boy, is terribly burned
about the arms, head and face, and his
recovery is extremely doubtful. Two
empty tank cars standing on the track
exploded with territic force, hurling
pieces of iron hundreds of feet in the
air. Four tank cars were burned and
slight damage done to the railroad
tracks.

Washington, July 5.?The President
has made uii order directing all consulai
officers of the Government to hereaftei

papers necessary for drawing pensions
by United States pensioners without
fees.
Representative Crisp, from the Committee
on Commerce, to-day reported

intended to perfect the quarantine service
of the United States.
I Congressman Belmont, Chairman of
I the House Committee on Foreign Af|
fairs, which was instructed by a resolution
of the House to investigate the case
I of John Curtin Kent, n naturalized citizen
of the United States, convicted in
England of conspiring to murder by the
use of dynamite, will submit the report
of the committee to-morrow. It recites
the history of the case in detail, which
is already familiar to the public, expresses
deep sympathy for Kent, and
continues as follows:
"The fact that the naturalization of
Kent was not known nt the time of his
trial to the American authorities is evidence
of the propriety of the recommendation
by President Cleveland in
his message of 1S04, and repeated in
1885 in favor of the establishment of a
Central Bureau of Record of the decrease
01 naturalizations granieu oy uie various
courts of the United States.
"The interest which the present AdnjinisUwtion
has taken in the matter of
citizenship is shown by the letters of
the President and of the Secretary of
State in the case of Gallagher, hereto
appended. The letters referred to have |
been published."
ANOTHER PEN8ION VKTO.
The President sent to Congress to-day I
a message vetoing a bill grunting a pento
Mary Anne Doherty. The message
states that a large share of the reports
of the Senate Committee on Pensions
adopted also by the House committee
consists of the petition in which the
woman says that her husband, who had
served in a New Jersey regiment, left
her in 18(F), and has not been heard of
since. She had received a pension as
the widow of Daniel Doherty until it
was discovered that lie was still alive
ami living in Philadelphia, and was
himself drawing a pension there. She
had succeeded in getting the pension in
the first instance by much false swearing.
The police records of Washington
(her residence) showed her to be a
woman of bad character, having been
arrested nine times for drunkenness,
larceny ana otner misdemeanors. uon-1
tinuing, the President says that the
theory seems to bo established that no
man who served in the army could be
the subject ol death or of impaired i
health, except as the result of army service.
Medical theories being set atj
naught, even suicide was traced by
devious and wonderfully curious way's
to service in the army, uutl the adjudications
of the Pension Bureau were overruled
in the most peremptory fashion by
special acts of Congress. He would
yield to no man in a desire to see those
who defended the government liberally
treated.
Unfriendliness to the veteran soldier
was a charge easily and sometimes dishonestly
made. The true soldier was a
good citizen, and would be satisfied with
generous fair and equal treatment. The
pension list of the Republic should bo a
roll of honor, not a matter of indiscriminate
alms-giving. He had attempted
to stem tno tide of improvident
pension enactments, but he still felt a
share of responsibility in letting too
many of them become laws. The bill
and message wero referred to the Committee
on Pensions as were two other
pension vetoes.
A MINORITY REPORT
In Itcgiirtl to the Veto Power of the
1'renlilent or the Uulttxl SUiteN.
Washington, D. Cm July 5.?Senator
Turpi?, in behalf of the Democratic mi"
nority of the Committee on Pensions,
presented a minority report dissenting
from the views in regard to the veto
power expressed by Senator Davis. The
minority say: \No regard with that
power iw ? qualified negative upon that
of Congress, not derogatory to their
rights of action. Neither the power or
its exereise can be uu encroachment
upon the province of Congress since
both are provided for in the constitution.
Mr. Storey in his justly celebrated
letter commenting upon it says: "The
power is important as an additional security
against the enactment of rash,
immature and improper laws.'' Speaking
of the action of the Executive
therein, the same author remarks: "llis
view, if not more wise or more elevated,
Will at least be independent and under
an entirely uiuereni resnonBiuuuy 10
the nation from what belongs to Congress.
He is the representative of the
whole Nation in the aggregate; they are
tho representatives only of distinct
parts."
We do not think the frequency of the
exercise of this power upon the subject
of private bills, oven if it were a legitimate
objection thereto, is at all made
out as charged. Out of the lar?e number
of such bills a very small ncrcentage
have been returned with objections.
The frequency bears a very inconsiderable
proportion to the number of tho applications.
Ah to the means of information
made use of by the executive as
a basis for his objections, tho President
has certainly the same right to make
use of the records, liles, reports and
opinions of the Tension Bureau as members
of Congress. The money of the
people iu iuu xrcuaury, uui
of which pensions arc paid, is
a fund of such quality that
it cannot ho guarded too carefully
against immature legislation. The President,
equally with a u'enber of the
legislative bodies, has the right and duty
I imposed upon him to form and express
his opinion with respect to the justice of

ing answerable under hi? oath and conscience
only to tho constituency of the
Nation for nis action therein. As to the
merits of the particular hills recited in
the committee we deem it unnecessary
for us to express an opinion at this time,
being willing to do so at such time as
the question properlv arises upon tho
final passage thereof. The report is
signed by Senators Tnroie, Blodgett,
Faulkner and Wilson, of Maryland.

Mr. Singer submitted a proposition
o his old men ottering to pay the same
