A communication was received and read from the chairman of the com mittee on resolutions stating that the committee notwithstanding constant and patient efforts had not yet been able to complete a platform and would not be prepared to make a completed re port before 7 p. m. The unfinished business of yesterday being the call of states for nominations, was resumed. Mr. Mansur, of Missouri, came to the platform and made a nomination speech, He said that Missouri would have given 32 stalwart Democrat ic votes for the old ticket headed by the Sage of Gramercy and his venerated friend from In diana, (Mr. Hendricks). As they could not have the old ticket he had been casting about to see who was the man who, in the emergency should lead the embattled hosts of the Democracy to a grand and glorious victory. Nothing short of a blunder would cause the Democracy to lose the election. With 25 Democratic governors and 23 Democratic legislatures, representing 253 e1,,;,, rial votes (Jilt of 401 nothing but a fatal blunder could make the Democracy lose. The man in his mind was spoken of as the noblest Roman of them all, Al lan G. Thurman, of Ohio. [Cheers.] He there fore seconded thai nomination. He hail looked in Mr. Thurman'B face yesterday, and recognized iii him "The colossal Democrat of the country." "THE BIHHARI OF America." With Thurman a- their standard beater they could curry Ohio and New York and California. In proof of this statement he repeated a conver sation he had had with Gen. Bpinola and other Tammany men, and read telegrams from Ohio and California. In conclusion be declared (be fore God) that the Democracy was hungry, even unto death, not forth- renal spoils of office, but for the glory of doing good to their fellow be ings. [ Lang and applause.] When Col. Mausell concluded, Mr. Livingston, of Mi-sou ri, rose in his place and said, Mr. (/'hair man, I do not desire to make a speech but by direction of chairman of Uie Missouri delegation and in behalf of a majority of th.it delegation, I Dimply desire, sir, to second the nomination of (Jrover Cleveland, or New York. [Cheers.] The Chair Gentlemen will pause a moment while the chair states the position of Missouri. Oen] Mausur, of Missouri, was permitted to gee- Olid the nomination of Mr. Thurman, after the state was called by unanimous consent and no Other second from the Btate of Missouri can be permitted except by unanimous consent.

Her son, Pennsylvania, pre sents to the Democracy of the Union here as sembled in convention as her candidate for the mighty office of president of the United states, in the person of Sum!. J. Randall. [Cheers.] .Mr. Cleveland of New — Mr. Chairman, upon the call of roll of states yesterday, when the name of New Jersey was called, she ' was si lent, but on behalf of a portion of the 'delega tion from New Jersey it is desired that Go v. Abbott, of that state, shall now second the name of Hon. Saml. J. Randall, [cheers] and I re spectfully ask from this convention unanimous consent for that seconding. Geo. Abbett, of New Jersey, seconded the nomination of Randall. He said that there was a conviction in the land that if wisdom*controls 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 and pure life, success lies in the result of their deliberations. He believed thatSam'lJ. Randall as the candidate would reach the controlling vote In the pivotal states m&re certainly than any other of the distinguished men named. He arked where does success lie? Not in Minnesota, not in lowa, or other of the confirmed Republican states, but in these close states, which were ' carried Iby Tilden in 1870. He reviewed the arguments Blgned for Cleveland, and said these all applied to Thurman, Bayard and others. Then what ex cuse in putting aside these grand Democratic veterans for a new man. The record of Randall is pure and blameless, while his public career for twenty years lias been in behalf of economical and honest government. There are practical ef forts for reform. Randall would sweep New Jersey like a great political cyclone. He is the friend of laborers everywhere, and the conven tion could do no better than to nominate him. When South Carolina was reached Wade Hamp ton arose and said : Mr. Chairman. [Load cries of platform.] Mr. Chairman, South Carolina has no candidate to present. [Loud cries of platform, platform.] The — Will the gentleman take the plat form? Mr. Hampton l am not going to make a speech. I cannot very well take that platform. The platform of the Democaatic party is not yet arranged. [Loud laughter and applause.] South Carolina has no candidate to present. Her dele gates have gcome here uninstructed and un pledged, bat a sister state has done us the honor to ask that one of our delegates should be heard In behalf of 'the pure and able statesman from Delaware. [Loud applause. I .have the honor to present to the convention the Hon. Leroy P. Yeoman, who at the request of Delaware will second the nomination of Mr. Bayard. [Cries of good, good, and applause.] Mr. Yeomans, of South Carolina, seconded the nomination of Bayard, and N. M. Rose, of Ar kansas, seconded Cleveland's nomination. The states of TeniK.-esu^ Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia,-were called without any re sponse from either of the delegates from those states. When Wisconsin was called, Mr. Delany 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 swinging of hats and handkerchiefs by a large fraction of the convention anil many of the au dience, | and, sir. it is their desire to be heard by the distinguished chairman of the delegation, (.en. Bragg. [Cheers and cries of Bragg, Bragg.] While Gen. Bragg was on his way to the plat form, he was greeted with cheers, in the midst of which a voice was beard shouting, fa little 'more grape, Captain Bragg.] Upon Gen. Bragg's ar rival at the platform, the chair introduced him as follows: -1 have the pleasure of introducing to you, GEN. EDWABD S. BRAIiG, of Wisconsin. [Cheers. (.en. Bragg spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the convention: It with feelings of no ordinary pride that I till the post that has been assigned to me to-day. Grim and gray per sonally lighting the battles of the Democratic party, I stand to-day to voice the sentiment of the young men of my state, when I speak for (irover Cleveland, of New York. [Cheers. | His name i.-> upon their lips, his name is in their hearts, and he la the choice, not only of that band of young men, but he is the choice of all those -who tie-in- for the first time, as. ifonng men, to cast their vote in November for the candidate nominated by this convention. They love him, gentlemen, and respect him not only for himself, for his character, for his integ rity and judgment and iron will, but they love him most for the enemies he ha* made. [Loud and long continued applause, which continued for several minutes, in the midst of which Mr. Gi-iuly from New York arose in front of the chair man's desk and liiicrru;ittil the speaker as follows: I Mr. Chairman, on behalf of bis enemies I re ciprocate that sentiment, and we are proud of it. [Loud hisses and great contusion, in the midst of which Mr. (irmly retired to his seat. Gen. Bragg — I thank the emissary that rep resents a respectable name at least for calling himself to my attention again. [Loud applause.] This broad nation witnessed the disgraceful spec tacle of a senator of the United States trading his proud possession for gain. [Applause | Ma- I hone and Riddieberger would scarcely be allowed to stand on this platform to teach you, gentlemen. Democracy, and whom you ought i.i nominate., [Loud applause. | Go to the senate of the state of -New York since Gov. Cleveland has been governor [applause], and there you find two worthy conferees playing in a small th later, Mahone and Riddieberger over again [load applause^ and why? Because the governor of the state of New York had more nerve than lie- machine. [Applause. i They muy speak of him, aye, the won i of the speeches may defile a splendid statue, but they only dis grace themselves. | Loud applause.] Wherever the thin disguise ran be reached you will find it Covering nothing bat grievance, disappointed am bition, or a cutting off of access to the flesh pots to those who desire tofatten on them. [Loud, long and continued applause.'] Ido not assume here to speak for labor. 6 The child of a man who al way* earned his daily bread by his daily labor, brought up for more than a quarter of a century from boyhood to manhood Among laborers that have made the great northwest what it is, I do not assume to speak for labor. Labor is not rep resented in a political convention by the t-oft hand of the political trickster, do matter where you find him. ' ; Loud applause.] . The men ho follow conventions and talk about rights labor are the Swiss contingent, who place their tent wherever the prospect of profit is >;r 'litest. [Loud applause and cries of "Bully for you." l While honest, intelligent, . horny handed labor will be found following the old Democratic Sag, thanking God that it- self styled leaders have gone where they belong thcnVame here to talk of labor. Yes, their labor Bias been upon the crank of the machine. [Im mense applause and laugher,] and their study has been political chicanery in the midnight con clave. We are told that the Democratic party is su Bering from fearful political disorders by these men. If we are to judge from past experience, these disorders in the quarters whore they are alleged to exist, can only be cured by a reappli cation of federal "soap." [Laughter. | I have heard it said that the states of the northwest ought to have no voice in this nomination. I have heard it said what boots it what their opinion may be. What was it that placed the great states of the northwest into the Republican col umn ' it ni because they followed blindly, im plicitcly the old loaders, and they lead the party of the Union to defeat, and they placed »onr states down under thonsind and thousands of Republican majorities. We have fought onr way steadily upward, we tec through the water which ha.- Veen sn deep abort- our heads to the glimmering again of the sunlight, and we ask to breathe once more the air of victory. Our young men ask it. The religious sentiments of our country ask it. The intelligence of our people ask it. Our German foreign bora citizens [applause) say to j v* we come to you with Cleveland. T... old guard will light steadily and go down to death '• shouting gloriously as they fall under the lead of the chivalric Bayard. They will follow steadily and unflinchingly that sturdy old Democrat from Indiana, bnt with the same result they fear they wilt rally around that glorious old senator from Ohio (applause) and they will accept that judicial mind gentlemen from Kentucky. But They want SOS* new life, they have followed old leaden to the death. They ask t-omeboJy to j lead them to victory, [Applause.) l'ardoa me for saying there was a time when tin 5:40 steeds stood first upon the list, but in these iliys tome thiu£ that has made 2:40 ought to be retired, as the stale for it is of no account* 2: 10 and a quarter.

For that reason on behalf of the majority representing her state, 1 second that nomination. | Applause.] After the applause had subsided Henry O. Kent, of Xew Haven, seconded the nomination of ( leveland, and was followed in a short speech by ex-Senator James Doolittle, of Wisconsin. Governor Waller, of Connecticut, concluded the business of the morning session by second ing the nomination of (Jrover Cleveland. The convention then adjourned to 8 o'clock to-night. Xiftfit .Session. At 8:25 the convention was called to order, and ji resolution was offered by Henry, of Missis sippi, expressing the regret and intense admira tion of the convention at reading the statenian like aud patriotic letter of Samuel J. Tilden, in which he made known the overpowering and providential necessity which constrained him to decline the nomination to- the presidency. Con demning the fraud and violence hy which Tiiden and Hendricks were cheated out of their offices in 1810, expressing regret that the action has been deprived of the lofty patriotism and splen did executive and administrative ability of Mr. Tilden, and appointing a committee to convey tips sentiment to that gentleman. Adopted. On motion of Cleveland, of Xew Jersey, it was ordered that the states timl territories be now called for the names of members of the national :. 'it'ii: committee. A report was made by the committee on reso lutions in favor of the proposition to ]>crniit the rational committee to choose a chairman outside of its own members. The report was adopted. A delegate from Arkansas offered a resolution abrogating and discontinuing in future the two thin'.s rule in the nomination of candidates for president and vice president Cochraae, of New York, moved to lay the reso lutlon on the table, characterizing it as a revo lutionary proposition. Abbott, of New Jersey, said it was absurd for this convention to attempt to make rules for the nextconvention, nnd he moved to postpone the resolution indefinitely. (Cochran withdraw ing his motion. The question was taken and the motion to post pone indefinitely was curried. Morrison, of Illinois, (at 0:30,) the chairman of the committee on resolutions, stepped to the plat form to present the report of that committee. His appearance was greeted with cheers. The platform \v:is read by one of the reading clerks. THE I'I.ATFoK.M, IMPORTED. The Democratic party of the Union through its repn sentativi sin i.iilional convention assembled, recognizes that, as the nation grows older, new issues are born of time and progress, and old issues perish. But the fundamental principle of the Democracy, approved by the united voice of th< people, remains, and will ever remain, as the best and only security for the continuance of a. Fri government. The preservation of -personal righto, the equality of all citizens before the law, the reserved rights of the states, and the sup remacy of the federal government within the lim its of the constitution will ever form the true basis of our liberties and can never be surrender i ii without destroying that balance of rights and powers which enable a continent to be developed in peace and social order, to be maintained by means of loyal self government, but it is indis peqsable for the practical application and enforce ment of these fundamental principles that the government should not always be controlled by one political party. Frequent change of admin istration is necessary, as constant recurrence to the popular will, otherwise abuses grow, and the government, instead of being carried on for t(je general welfare, becomes an instrumentality for imposing heavy burden.- on the many who are governed, tor the benefit of the few who govern. Public servants thus become arbitrary rulers. This is now the condition of this country. Hence a ( lIAN..K IS ntMAXUM). The Republican party, so far as principle is concerned, ;.- v reminiscence, in practice it is an organization for enriching those who control its machipi ry. The frauds and jobbery which have been brought to ligu! in every department of the government are sufficient to nave called for reform within the Republican party, vet those in authority, made reckiess by the long possession of power, have snccuuibed to its corrupting influence and have placed in nomina tion a ticket against which the Independent por tion of the party are in open revolt. Therefore a change is demanded. Such a change was alike necessary in lSVtj, but the will of the people was then defeated by a baud which can never be for gotten nor condoned. Again verbatim in IKHO the change demanded by the people was defeated by the lavish use of money, contributed by nn •iv muious contractors :uid shameless jobbers, ■a ho had bargained for unlawful profits or for high office. The Republican party during its illegal, its stolen and its bought tenures of power, has steadily de cayed in morality, character and political capac ity. Its platform promises are now a fist of its pr sent failure at the demands for tho restoration of. our navy. , It has squandered hundreds of millions to create a navy that does not exist. It calls upon congress to remove the burdens under which American shipping has been depressed. It imposes and has continued those burdens. It professes the policy of reserving the public lands for small holding by actual settlers. It has given away the peopled heritage till now a few rail roads and non resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two seas, It professcij a preference for free institutions. It organized and tried to legally control state elections by federal troops, It professes .i desire to elevate labor. It has subjected the American working men to the competition of tonvlct and imported convict labor, it professes gratitude to all who were disabled or died in the war leaving widows and orphans. It left to a Democratic house of representatives the first effort to equalize ■ both bounties and pensions. It proffers a pledge to correct the Irregularities of our tariff. It creates and has continued them. its own tariff commis sion confessed ' the need of more than twenty per cent, reduction, Its congress gave a reduction of less than four per cent. It professes the pro tection of American manufacturers. It has sub jected them to an unceasing flood, of manufacturing nations, not one of which taxes raw materials. It professes to protect all Amer ican industries. It has impoverished many to subsidize. It professes the protection of Amer ican labor, It haa depleted the returns of Amer ican agriculture, un industry followed by half our people. It professes the equality of all men before the law, attempting to fix the statute of colored citizens, the acts of its congress were reversed by the decisions of its courts. It ac cepts anew the duty of loading in the work of progress and reform. Its criminals are permit ted to escape through contrived ' delays or actual connivance in the prosecution. It is com bined with corruption, outbreaking exposures no longer shock it- moral sense. Its honest mem bers, its journals bo longer maintain a successful contest for authority in i;- counsels, or • veto |i,'.in bad nominations. That a change is neces sary It proved by an existing surplus of more than $100,000,000, which has yearly beiJn collect ed from ■ UKC I'KHPLK. Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. We denounce the lii publii so party for having failed to relieve the people from th • crushing war taxes which have paralyzed business, crippled industry, and deprived labor of employment and just reward. The Democracy pledges » itself to purify the administration ■ .from corruption. t, restore economy, to revive respect for law and to reduce taxation to the lowest limit consistent with due regard to the preservation of the faith of t tie nation to its creditors ane pen sioners: knowinar full well, however, that legis lation affecting the occupations of the people should be cautions and conservative in method and not in advanced of public opinion", but re sponsive to its demand?. The Democratic party is pledged to revUe the . ■■•! in a spirit of fair ness to all interests. But in making a reduction in taxes it is not proposed to injure any domestic industries but rather to promote their , healthy growth. From the foundation of the govern ment taxes collected at the custom house have baas the source of federal revenue, such they must continue to be. Moreover, many industries ham come * to -rely iii'oii legislation for successful continuance, so tint any change of law must be at every step r<s irardful of the labor and capital thus involved. . The process of reform mast be subject, in the execntion, to this plaiu dictate of justice, all taxation shall be limited to the requirements of economical government. The » necessary reduc tion in taxation can and must be effected with out depriving American labor of the ability to compete BBcee«sftjliy with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will be ample to cover any increased cost of pro duction which may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing in this country sufficient revenue to pay expenses ■ the Federal government economically aiainUteretl, including pensions " interest and principal of the public debt, can be under ocr preseut system of taxation from custom house taxes on fewer imported articles bearing heaviest on article? on luxury &nd bearing lightest oa articles of necessity, we therefore denounce the abuses of the existing tariff and subject to the presidio; limitations, we demand that federal uxatSan'shal! be exclusively for public purposes asd shall sot exceed the need* of the government ecouomic&ny scministered ; tae »y steS. of direct taxation known at the "internal | revenue" • i* a war tax and to long a- the totr continues, the money derived therefrom should 'be | devoted to th- relief of the people from the remaining bur dens of the war and be made a fond to defray the bunions of the rare and comfort uf worthy soldiers in time of duty in the war* of 'the republic aad for payment of »scsi pension* . as congress may from lime to tine grant ;o such soldiers, a like fend for the sailor? baTiag beea already provided, and say *arala» sbocJd be paid into the treasary. We favor as Americas conti nental policy, based npon more !atimate commer cial and political relation with the 'fifteen' sister repuhlies of north, central nnd south America, but entangling alliances with none. We believe in honest money, the jjold and silver coinage of the constitution, and a circulating medium con vertible into tiiich money without loss, a»«ertin« the equality of men before, the law. We hold that it is iv the duty of the government in its dealings with the people to meet out equal and exact justice to nil citizens of whatever nativity, nice, color or persuasion, religious or political. We believe in afrte halot and and a fuir count and we recall to the memory of the people that noble struggle of the Democrats in the Forty lifth and Forty-sixth congress hy which a He puhllcan opposition wan compelled to assent to legislation making every whore illegle the pres ence of troops at the polls as the conclusive proof that n Democratic administration will pre sent liberty with order. The selection of fed eral officers for the territory should be presented to citizens previously resident therein. We op pose sumptuary laws which vex the citizeus and interfere with Individual liberty. We favor hon est civil service reform and the comprehension of all United States officers by flxed salaries. The separation of church and state and the diffn sion of free education by common schools, so that every child in the land may be taught the rights and duties of citizenship, while we favor all legislation which will tend to the equitable distribution of property, to the prevention of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of Indi vidual rights against corporate abuses. We hold that the welfare of society depends upon a scru pulous regard for the rights of property as de tined by law. We believe that the labor is best rewarded where it is freest and most enlight ened: it should therefore be fostered and cher ished. We favor the repeal of all laws restrict ing the free action of labor, and the enactment of laws by which labor or ganizations may he incorporated and of all such legislation as will tend to enlighten the people as to the true relations of capital aud labor. We believe that the public lands ought, as far as possible, to be kept as homesteads' for actual settlers, that all une rni'd lands heretofore granted to railroad corporations by the act of the Republican party should be restored to the public domain and that no more grants of lands shall be allowed to fall into the ownership of alien absentees. We are opposed to all propositions which upon any pretense would convert the general govern ment into a machine for collecting taxes to be distributed among the states or the citizens thereof. In reaffirming the declaration of the Demo cratic platform of 1856,' that the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson • in the declaration of in dependence and sanctioned in the constitution, which makes ours the ' land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of ; every nation, have ever been the cardinal* principles in the Demo cratic faith, we nevertheless do not sanction the importation of foreign labor, the admission of a servile race, unfitted by habits, training, reli gion or kindred, for absorption into the great body of our people, or for the citizenship which our Ir.ws confer. American civilization demands that against the immigration or importion of Mongolians to these shores our gates be closed. ' The democratic party insists that the duty of this government is to protect with, equal fidelity and vigilance the rights of its citizens, native and naturalized, at home and abroad, and to the fnrl that this protection may be assured, li i ed States papers of naturalization, issued by courts of competent jurisdiction, must be respected by the executive and legislative departments of our own government, and by all foreign powers. It is an imperative duty of this government to effi ciently protect all the rights of persons and prop erty of every American citizen in foreign lands, and demand and enforce full reparation for inva sion thereof. An American citizen .is only re sponsible to his own government for any act done in bis own country, or under her flag, and can only be tried there on her own soil, and ac cording to her laws, and no power exists in this government to expatriate an American "citizen to be tried in any foreign land for any such act. . This country has had a well defined and executed foreign policy, under Democratic administration. The policy has ever been, in regard to foreign nations, so long as they do no act detrimental to the interest of the country, or hurtful to our citizens, to let them alone. That, as the result of this policy, we recall the acquisition of Louisi ana, • Florida, California and of the adjacent .Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con trast these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesmanship with the purchase of Alaska, the sole fruit of a Republican administration of near ly a quarter of a century. The federal government should care for and improve the Mississippi river, and . other great waterways of the Republic, so as to secure for the interior states easy and cheap transportation to tide water. Under a long period of Democratic rule and policy our merchant marine was fast overtaking and on the point of outstripping that of Great Britain. Under twenty years of Republican rule and policy our commerce has been left to British bottoms, and almost has the American flag been swept of the high sc^is. . Instead of the Republi can party's British policy we demand for the peo ple of the United States an American policy. > Under Democratic riile and a policy our mer chants and sailors flying the stars and stripes in every port, successfully searched out a : market for the varied products of American industry.' Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule and policy, despite our manifest advantage over all other nations on high paid labor, favor able climate and teeming ' soils, despite the free dom of trade among all states, despite their population by the foremost races of men and the annual immigration of young, thrifty and adven turous of all nations, despite our freedom here from the inherited burdens of life and industry in the old world monarchies, their costly war navies, their vast tax consuming non-producing standing armies," despite ; twenty years of peace, . that Republican rule and policy have managed to surrender to Great Britain, along, with our commerce, the control of the markets of the world. Instead of tho Republican party's British policy, we de mend on behalf of the American Democracy an American policy. • ■ Instead of the Republican party's discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship for American labor expressed by imposing taxes, we demand in behalf of the Democracy, freedom for American labor by reduced taxes', to the end that those of the United States may com pete with unhindered powers for the primacy among nations in all the arts and fruits of liberty. with profound regret we have been apprised by the venerable statesmen, through whose person wan struck that blow at the vital principle of a Republic, the acquiescence in the will of the majority, that he cannot permit us again to place in his hands the leadership of the Democratic hosts, for the reason that the achievement of re form in the administration of the federal govern ment is an undertaking too heavy for his age and falling strength. Rejoicing that his life has been prolonged until 'the general judgment of our fellow countrymen is united in the wish that that wrong were righted in his person, for the Democracy of the United States, We offer to him on his . withdraw! from public cares not only our respectful sympathy and esteem, but also ' that best homage of free men the pledge of our devotion to the principles and the cause now inseparable in the history of this Republic from the labors and 'the name of Samuel J. Tildeu. With the statement of the hope*, principles and purposes of the Democratic party, the great issue of reform and change in administration, is submitted to the people in calm confidence that the popular voice will pronounce in favor of new men and new and more favorable conditions for the growth of industry, the extension of trade and due reward of labor and of capital, and the general welfare of the whole country. The reading of the platform was concluded at 19 O'clock. It was listened to attentively and! with very few interruptions. In fact, none of it« paragraphs, except that referring to Mr. Tilden, j elicited any marked indications of approval. There was, however, a slight manifestation of applause when the reading closed, and Mr. Mor rison »a:d he would yield now to (Jen. Bntler to present a minority report. Bs would then all^w Mr. Butler thirty minntes I to discuss his report, fifteen minutes to Mr.Con verse, of Ohio, and fire minntes to Mr. Watter son, and then he wonld more the prevlons ques tion and ask for a vote. Gen. Butler said that mo ? t things in the platform he aarreed to, «ome j thinss onsrht to be added to it, and one thing j especially ought to be changed, that he wonld I svbait to the better judgment of the conven tion. He asked* the clerk to read his report. The clerk commenced by enunciating slowly and very distinctly the words, j • "SENSUAL butler's rLATTOHX." Which caused a general langh. Gen. Butler then proceeded to address the ' convention.- He "said he appeared with great diffidence. j Most things in the platform he agreed to ;' those which had just been read were submitted and not agreed to; there was one' thing on which there was the most radical difference between the two plat forms. Both agreed that there was no constitu tional power to raise the revenue beyond the treasury wants of the government; that it should be rafsed according to the doctrines of the fath ers, and that no tax should be laid on the neces saries of life not produced in this country. He 1 came here a- no mendicant, no besrear: he came ' here representing more than 1 1.500.000 laboring men. lie had brought their condition before the ; committee, and had demanded. Dot that it -ho-;M ■ give them anything, bat that, .when taxis:: the ! people, the tax should be taken .where it wosld ; hart them least. Was not that a reasonable <*e -1 raaa'l? Did they. think they could sot along without . that. . He thought not.'. v--i He objected to ' the tariff " plank j in the platform of . the committee -. because "1 i: took the committee thirty-six boors to frame it, j ; sad if it.took those able gentlemen "so ? long to j frame it and get it in form there . must be some - 1 rvason for th.l:. If they coo Id cot find -out in : thirty-six hours what they anted, bow were Is- • ! boring 1 men to find oat what it meanr.F Lao ~t r. j ! There was a radical disrrenc« between the com ! mittee and himself. . The very . able chairraaa of \ I the committee. ■-.■ Mr. Jlorri.Hsa, - (bought ■ there - I eho&M be ao each thin; : (or , cosSd ibe ■ bo *ueh ! thing, a* protection to American labor : by I taxa j tion. - Be (Butierj believed . that there | should be such protection, mich festerings, snch cherishlngs, Mr. Mor rison conld not yield his convictions and he (Butler) could not yield his, and therefore the committee had to spend all that time to say something that would mean one thing one way and another thing another way. [Laughter|-. He asked delegates to read that tariff plank und see if they could find out exactly what it did mean. It did not mean protection. If it did, Col. Morrison was too honest a man to bring it here, and yet it was so twisted that it might mean protection. [Laughter. | The liemocracy had in its platform in IHBO a plank of "tariff for revenue only," and it broke the back of the most gallant soldier in the country [laughter], and now they had a tariff platform "for public purposes exclusively." Where was the difference? "Ex clusively" means "only" und "only" meant "exclusively" (laughter). Passing to the cur rency question, he suid he affirmed the doctrine of Andrew Jackson that the government alone could issue money, and he would rather be wrong with Jackson than be right, with the com mittee [Laughter. I He represents many Greenback men — good and true Greenback mciv tike Allen (i. Thnrmau [laughter]. and these mcf were willing to come to the Democracy to root out corruption and wrong iti the government if ■the Democracy would have them. But how were they received, with a plank in the platform that "we are iv favor of honest money" and if the Greenbackers were not, who was in favor of honest money? If there was such a man here, let him be put out. [Laughter.] As to the civil service reform he ventured to say there was»not a man in tho convention in favor of it unless he was n school master. | Laughter.] Ex-Secretary I'endleton had been the anthor of the civil service law;and he had never been heard of ■ since. [Laughter. | George Wash ington himself could not have passed a civil service examination for a $1,200 clerkship. [Laughter. | His early education had been neg lected',and in his will written by his own hand ho spelledclothes "cloaths." (Laughter.) To himself he wanted frequent changes in office In order to counteract the great tendency to have aristocratic life offices. If office was a good thing then he wanted all people to have a chance at it, and if it was a bad thing then it was too hard to put it out to a poor fellow for his whole life time. (Laughter.) In conclusion he said that it this convention told the working men and women of the country that they were to be, (he would not say protected but fostered, cherished,) then the Democratic party would sweep the country. Otherwise they would remain in their workshops on election day and the Democracy would be again defeated. Theoretically he was a free trader, but practically when S - J00,000,000 of revenue had to be raised ou imports there could be no such thing as free trade, und so long as some industry must be fostered American men and women should be taken care of. [Applause.] He would call for a vote by states on his substitute for the tariff plank in the platform. Mr. Converse, of Ohio, spoke in favor of the adoption of the platform as«eported by the ma jority of the committee. "%e said there was much in Butler's platform to which all could subscribe. There was much of that plank em bodied in the report of the committee. The ma jority report was made hy repre sentatives of the thirty-eight states. The dissent was from but a single state. The majority report was harmonizing of differences in the entire union and should le ceive the support of the Democracy. In that platform the Knights of Labor was recognized but the great central and over shadowing idea of the platform was a reform in the government from department to department and when that should be done the party would be prepared to take up other and less important matters. This was the concurrent judgment of thirty-seven out of the thirty-eight states. The party was sin cere, earnest and determined in the work of re form, and who ever might be nominated by this convention would be elected president of the United States. (Applause.) Henry M. Watterson, of Kentucky, next ad dressed the convention. He said that for his own part he had never doubted that if the con vention should adopt an honest and sound plat form of principles and should place on that plat form two representative statesmen of honor able reputation and spotless lives, they wouid be the next president and vice president of the fjnited States. The committee has given to the convention the platform. It was for the conven tion to give the ticket to the country.- It was an honest platform, entirely so. It was n sound platform, eminently so. The members of the committee had found that the differences be tween tliem were not. so great as the country had imagined and as they themselves had imagined, 'the committee had given to the conven tion a revenue platform on which all of them could afford to stand. [Applause.] The committee denounced the abuses of the present war tariff, and declared that all federal taxations should be exclusively for public puiposes, and that no more tux should he collected than was requisite to support the government economical ly administered. The gentleman from Massachu setts had avowed him as theoretically a free trader. He ( Watterson) was not a free trader. lie could imagine no system of taxation more op pressive or une.qunl in its exactions than the dis tribution of the cost of government among the states. He believed that a well regulated and moderate custom house taxation, yielding the necessary revemve for the expenses of the government, was the lightest tax that could be imposed on the people and he had always believed in a tariff. | Applause] There had been in the committee B substantial agreement on a question that had divided the party hitherto much more than it would ever divide it again. | Applause. J The platform reported was one on which they could vote. It was a platform which could not be mis rep it -eiited by their enemies, a platform which (when the Democracy had elected its candidates) would constitute a noble programme and policy as the purpose of the national democracy. [Ap plsOM. | Morrison moved the previous question on the report and substitute and it was ordered. The vote was then taken by states on Butler's substitute and it was rejected, ayes 97 !4, noes 714! i. When vote of Indiana was being an nounced Senator Voorhees stated that he wished ppeciaty to have his vote recorded iv the affirma tive. The question recurred on the adoption <.f the majority report. A delegate from Georgia in quired whether 'there was not an error in the print of the paragraph relating to internal rev enue. He had been informed by a member of the committee that in the. original the sentence commenced as follows: "The system of direct taxation known as the internal revenue is' a war tax and should be abolished." The last four words being omitted in the print. The chairman after inquiry stated that there was no variation between the manuscript and print. The vote was then taken and the platform was adopted. The convention then at 11 :40 p. m., proceeded to ballot for candidates for the presidency. Before the state of Alabama had responded to the call a motion for recess till to-morrow morn ing was proposed and the vote upon it taken by states. The vote, on taking a recess, resulted in the negative, ayes 196, nays 810. The convention then proceeded at 12:05 to fa/cc the first ballot, with the following result: FIRST BALLOT. ;.?v>; ■:. i * = § 1 1 £• i I F I MflM states £. : . = : jr 1 : .7.

LOST IN TWELVE INNINGS St. Paul Wrestles With Bay City Over Two Hours, and Finally Falls. Minneapolis Drops Another One to the Mus kegon Hard Hitters. Saginaw Gives Stillwater the Worst Wal loping of the Seaxm. To that element of tho community who see nothing of hope in defeat it will not be necessary to offer v word in regard to the gitmc of base ball yesterday, but to the philosophers who dis cover a cause for every effect^ and an effect for every cause, there is much of comfort to be found in the performance of the St. Paul team for vhe past week. Here is the record of the last five games pluycd, the first two with the Saginaws, and the other thifee with the Bay Cltys, two of the strongest teams in the league. July 4, Sagi naw 5, St. Paul 0; July 5, Saginaw 3, St. Paul 1 ; July 8, Bay City 2, St. Paul 0; July 9, Bay City 3, St. Pauls; July 10, Bay City 3, St. Paul 2, twelve innings. It is a fact that St. Paul was beaten in every one of these five games, but the record made is one to be proud of at the same time. No city in the Northwestern league circuit has had five consecutive games as close and with as small a total score, and although our team has not been on the counting side, the audiences have seen ball playing of the most en tertaining and exciting sort. The home battery yesterday was Foster and Ganzel. Brown, the new pitcher and third baseman, made his appear ance at third and Foley played short, the other members of the team taking their usual stations. BrOwn made a favorable impression, aud al though his opportunities for fine work yester day were limited to two, he is evidently a great addition to the strength of the nine. He made several fine stops at critical moments, and will come out iv good form as soon as he is rested from his trip. Foley' s play at short under ordinary circum stances would be a fit subject for unfavorable comment. However, it must be remembered that it was his first game in the po sition, recently at least, that the ground in short field is deceptive and that he neutralized, some what the effect of his errors by other unusually brilliant plays. Foley is a tower of strength in a ball field, and he is not one of the kind that makes costly mistakes every day. Tilley had a field without labor up to the twelfth inning, but his beautiful catch of Porter's long fly just inside of the left field foul line was a perform ance that set the spectators wild with delight. Barnes had a great deal to do, and did it all with neatness and dispatch. He took four flies, made a three-base hit, a single and a run. We are not disposed to look upon him as a weak member of the nine. If he is kept in the out field he is a passably good player. Ganzel made one of his characteristic base hits in front of the plate, but his throwing was surpris ingly erratic. That in the twelfth inning over third's head, letting in the winning run, was one of which he should be ashamed. O'Brien made a costly error in the fifth inning at a criti cal moment, but during all the rest of the game he played well. Three of the nine base hits hy the home team are accredited to him. The op portunity here presents itself for us to say ex actly what we have thought from the first, that Nettleton is far too weak a man to hold a posi tion in the nine. He proves after a few days' wear to be both a poor fielder and a weak batter. His success, with the willow on two occasions was, as shown by subsequent developments, only otfe of the accidents of the game, and might have happened to a man who never saw a bat be fore. Ilengle out Hengled Heugle yesterday. He had on his ball playing clothes from his socks up. anu played as few men ever have the opportunity to play. Four teen chances were offered him in the field and he accepted them all at his regular salary. Be sides this he made two pretty hits. He should have a whole nursery of laurels. "Slim Jim," formerly the left-handed pitcher for the Red Caps, caught a nice foul fly in the grand stand, but the umpire ignored the play entirely. The visitors played an even game all around, and in their superior fielding is the secret of their triumph. The game opened with St. Paul at bat, and Hengle made a base to center, going to second on a wild pitch, third on center's muff of Nettle ton's fly and out on a trial to reach the plate from pitcher to third. Nettleton went to second meanwhile, and was retired on O'Brien's grounder to short. Brown went out from pitcher to first. For Bay City Morrison reached first on balls, but the next three got out. In the second Foley, Foster and Tilley were retired one, two, three. For Bay City Cudworth took a base on balls. McOunnigle hit a grounder to pitcher, who cut off Cudworth at second, and the latter McGunnigle at first. Biguell reached first on v muff at right, and Porter sent a fly to second. In the third, Barnes went out from short to first, Ganzel hit the ball down in front of the plate for a base, and wont around to second on Hengle's clean hit to center, but was cut off from catcher to third on a trial to get home on O'Brien's hit to left, Nettleton striking out iv the meantime. For Bay City Morrison hit to left, nnd went to third on catcher's overthrow to second. Ho was left there, however. In the fourth, Brown took a base on balls, going to sec ond while Foley was being retired from third to first and home on Foster's hit to center. Tilley foul-tipped out, and the catcher doubled on Fos ter at first. Ray City did nothing. In the fifth, Barnes pounded the ball over center's head for three bases, and got home on an overthrow from second to third. The next three went out. Bignell took a base on balls, stole second, and reached third on catcher's overthrow to third. Porter sent a fly to short, Turbidy one to center, and Morrison should have been retired from short to first, but O'Brien failed to hold the ball, Blgnell going home. Howard *ent a fly to center. In the sixth for St. Paul Brown's reach ing first on second's fumble was the only inci dent. Foutz gave short a fly. Davis got a base on balls, stole second and went to third on a passed ball. Cudworth popped up a fly to cen ter. McGunnigle got a life on Foley's fumble of his grounder and Davis scored. McGunnigle was retired trying to steal second. Moth sides went out in the seventh with a man on first for each. In the eighth Foutz got to first on short's error, and made third on Davis' hit to center, the latter steuling second. Things looked decidedly blue. Cudworth struck out, and McGunnigle hit a fly to second, who caught Foutz playing off third. In the ninth the only incident was a bane hit by Tnrbidv. lirthe tenth O'Brien got a base hit to left, but he wasn't backed up. For Bay City Morrison led off with a hit to left. Howard bit a grounder to short, who ran down and put his foot on second bajr, and cut off Howard at first. Foutz hit a foul n> to catcher. In tbe eleventh St. Paul didn't reach first. For Bay City Davig and Cndworth were retired from sec ond to first. McGunnigle got first on third's er ror and went to third on catcher's overthrow to second. Bignell struck out. In the twelfth Barnes mude a bit to center, but the next three went out. For Bay City Porter pounded a long fly to left, which was beautifully taken. Tur bidy reached finton short's fumble, stole second and ciime home on catcher's overthrow to third, which ended the game. Following is the score in detail: BAT CITT.

I Special Telegram to the Globe. l Stillwateh, Minn., July 10.— The Saginawa may well say : We came, we saw, we walloped them. That is what they did. They could have waxed them fnr worse, but the Saginawd got tired ot base running, and had as much fun as they wanted. The first cause of the defeat was McCue's pitching, which was of that kind that almost any one could hit, as the three home rons of the visitors show. Besides these were thir teen base hits, aud two or three baggers. The next cause was that Peters was not on the field, and the boys went at it as they litsed, placing on his own hook and no as sistance to each other. Another cause was • the v*ery worst kind of errors. The umpire appeared to be an independent one, but he made some very obvious mistakes.

[Special Telegram to the Globe.] Milwaukee, July 10.— The Terre Hautes were victorious to-day, the game being a clean present from the home team on account of its flagrant and numerous errors. Tho Terre Hantes hit Murphy hard, and he changed with Morrissey after the fifth inning, when the hitting ceased, Morrissey proving a puzzler to the Hoo siers. "Kid" Seward pitched for tbe Terre Hautes again, and was quite effective, the Mil waukees only getting five safe hits off him. Four of the hits were two -baggers, but were made af ter two men were out. The Milwaukees failed miserably, and the large audience present was disgusted with the exhibition. Lotz, who has played one game on trial with the Milwaukees as a pitcher, was released, and played with the Terre Hautes to-day. He fielded well, but failed to distinfuieh himself at the stick. The umpir ing of Frank was poor, and told against the home team.

Mr. Brown, recently of the Toledo club, ar rived yesterday noon and played third base in tha afternoon game, making, a very favorable im pression. To-day the St. Paul club goes to Winona to play a game with the club in that city. It was but a few years ago that the Winona Clippers cam< to St. Paul and warmed the St. Paul Red Caps ia good style. The St. Paul and Bay City club played one of the most brilliant games of ball yesterday thai was ever played on any fiuid. It took twelve in nings to do the business and the hardest kind of hard work. A MILE IN 2:011 Westmont with Firebrand at His Side, Faces the Most Remarkable Mile on Record; ISpecial Telegram to the Globe. Chicago, July 10. — All previous records ol traveling to harness were smashed to-day a( the driving park. Westmout, the pacer, son of Almont, the trotting sire, whose deatl* was recently announced, was driven a full mile with running mate in the phe nominal time of 2:01%. The event was entirely unexpected. Fully 8,000 persons were gathered at the track, expecting two exhibitions of speed by Jay Eye See, tha noted trotter, and Johnston, the 2:10 pacer. The former did not appear. Johnston paced an exercise mile in 2:lß>^, as unoffi cially timed, and the three regular events ol the day's programme were uninteresting walk oveas. Catchfly won in the 2:19 class; Bella Echo in the 2:24 class, and Billy S. in the 2:17 pacing race. The vast audience naturally manifested disappointment, and the managers were anxious to appease them. Mr. B. J. John son, owner of Westmont, consented to let tne speedy pacer show a mile to wagon with running mate. Westmont, was accordingly hitched up with Firebrand, a six-year-old running horse, and upon the word being given started off at a ligtning clip. Proba bly one hundred timers were held on tho novel exhibition, and as the quarter wag reeled off at a 2.01 gait the crowd ou the grand stand began to realize, that a grand performance was being made. Westmont never skipped while going to tha half-mile post, which was reached in a two minute gait, the second quarter being mad» in 29% seconds. Around the turn his speed showed no diminuition, and passing the three-quarter pole in the time given above,, 1 :30, the pert ect-mdvlng pacer came to th< distance record at a rats of speed which war* ranted the belief that tho mile would b( covered in less than two minutea, Unfurti unately the running mate by an tint steady movement broke tho pacer's even gait and he knuckled first at the grand stand.. Mr. Campbell, his driver, was unabled tar bring him down, but as the team droy<| under tho wire In 2 :01% aad the remarkably performance was announced by Secretary Hall, a perfect avalanche of cheers greeted Westmont and his driver. But for tho breaa, mentioned the time would certainly bava been not more than two minutes. The track has come into grand shape since the recent rains and to-morrow Jey Eye See will trot* against time. Immediately after Westmout's parform* ance to-day he was sold to James M. Hill* the theatrical manager of tbia city, for $20<* 000. Pittsburg offers $3,000 for an eihU», bltion beat by Westmont at tho races In thai) city next- week. English Liberal Mteetingr.
