Notwithstanding that n number of visiting organizations and IndUldual strangers had loft the city last night or coily this morning , little appreciable reduction In the attendance of spectators is noticeable. As thedclegatcs slowly straggled In , In twos and threes , the conversation was on the resjicctlvo chances of Thurman and G ray , the tariff plank and the state of the ther mometer. As to the latter there was unanimity of opinion , it being excessively hot. As the delegation spaeo begin to ill ! the usual battle of handkerchiefs broke out Thurmnn red and gray muslin Indlcathc of the name of Indiana's candidate being hoisted to the masthead by the respective admirers of the contestants. As cuch new color was raised it was greeted with shouts from the gal leries , but it was evident from the volume of sound that tlio Old Roman was the favorite of the spectators. The Now York delegation was last to enter and hoisted the Thurman colors to her standard. Tlio assemblage rose and gave her n hearty cheer. Indiana answered with do- llant shouts , mid for some moments confu sion , nolso and excitement reigned. The convention was called to order at 10:30 : and prnjcr was offered by the Hev.

U'ATTKIISON'S SPEECH. He Vollowfl the Platform With An In * trodnction or Senator < ; ormnn , ST. Loinp , Juno 7.--Upon the completion of the reading of the platform , Hon. Henry Wattcrson sjioko as follows : We bring to you n platform upon which democrats cm stand without feeling theynro away from home. It embodies a statement of facts Inconvertible. It declares the cause of reform and gives it a language which may bo spoken alike in Now Jersey and Iowa , in Massachusetts mid in Texas. It looks upon the rising , not the Rotting sun. Tlmtika toGroxcr Cleveland , the attention of the country , weed by others so long innin , is llxed nt last upon n remedy of real instead of imaginary c\ils arising out of the state ot the war , and henceforward the democratic party , which has been the volco will become the hand of the people. Democ racy nt least Is one with itself , and though wo may sometimes contend among ourselves , our contests shall bo those of the Homnns of old only resttltinir in moro Romans. It Is now the time of the republicans to know what it is to haVe only half n country and no leader nt all. [ Cheers. ] Two good demo crats can only understand ono another thoroughly and love ono another when they have had some fun together , and this will bo n sufllcicnt reason why I should present you with Senator Gorman of Maryland. Senator Gorman was Introduced and spoke as follows ; Gentlemen of the Conven tion : I would bo out of place were I found elsewhere than In n democratic convention and standing upon the demociatto piinciplcs as written by Jefferson and now being ex pressed by the democratic paity under the lead of Glover Cleveland. Four ycais ago at Chicago , the democratic partj , restated its declaration of principles , promising if en trusted with power that sectionalism should bo willed out forever , that the hnnnccs of your government should be controlled , and the tariff directed not to impair the brilliant industiics of the land , but that extravagant expcndituies Hliould bo i educed until wo would have a govei iimetit economically administered , and that the war taxes placed upon us by the republican party should bo reduced nccoiding to tlio icquiiemcnts of the government. Upon the declaration of principles thus made at Chicago wo went be fore the pcoplo and the icsult was tlio elec tion of Gro\or Cleveland. In the mutter of the i eduction of taxation ho has been honest and earnest , and with a desire to can v out the promises nf the party , and when ho dc- claicd that we weie to face the fact of i educ tion of taxation and wipe out this hundred million suiplus. it was no longer n question , nor could it bo controlled by the clap trap piactiees of the opposition charging us with fico trade or free protec tion either , but wo stood as honest men , to reduce this immense taxation of $100,000,1X10 per annum. Wo have presented a platform in strict accoid with all democratic declara tions that hae preceded us. As. Mr. Wat- toison has well said.it is a platfoim upon which every democrat can stand. Mr.Wnttcrsonofifentucky ; Mr.Clmirmnn , I now inovo the adoption of the repot t and on that motion call foi the previous question. The question was put und the platform unanimous'y ' adopted. SIDE UESOIiUTIONS. Additional Declarations Tacked Onto the Pliitiorm. ST. Louis , Juno 7. Mr. Wntterson Mr. Chairman , the platform committee has ap- pioved with the rcpoit mid request to bo passed without discussion tlneo icsolutions. The lust of these will be picscnted by Mr. Scott of Pennsj Kama. Mr. Scott then olTeicd the follow ing reso lution , which was passed : IJesohed , That this contention endorses and recommends the early pass ige of the bill lei " ' " ' " ' ° r 'eveniie now pending In the house ofi 11 < lhellt \ < > s ; The second of these rcsO.L'flo"S was pre sented by PtcdcuUc Laition of CaiuC.1 und is as follows : Hcsolved , That a just and liberal policy should be put sued in icfeienco to the temto- nes ; that the light of sclf-go\eminent is in herent in the people and guiuantocd under tlio constitution ; that the tcintories of Washington , Dakota , Montana and New Mexico m obi virtue of population and dev - v lopnicnt entitled to admission Into the union us states , and wo unqualifiedly con demn the course of the republican party in refusing statehood and sclf-iro\ eminent to their people. The resolution was adopted. The thiid it-solution referred to was pre sented by ox-Go\ernor Abbot of New Jersey , and was unanimously adopted. The icsolu- lion is as follows : Kcsolvcd , That wo express our cordial sym pathy with the struggling people of all na tions to secure for themselves the inestima ble blessings of elf-government , and civil and religious liberty , and wo especially de- elm o our symp thi w ith the efforts of those noble iiatilots , wno , led by Gladstone and Paincil , ha\o conducted their giund and peaceful contest for homo rule in Ireland. A icsolutlon of culngv on the llfo and pub lic services of the late Thomas' A. Hcndiicks , hml tendering the sympathy of tlio conven tion to Mrs. Hcndticks was presented by C. W. IJokcr of Ohio and passed. TIIUHMAN NOMINATED. Mr. Tniplo JnilnlgON In a AYcnk Ora- loilul Eflort. ST Lot-is , Juno 7. Mr. White of Cali fornia mo\ed that the roll bo called for the nomination of vice president , and that the chairmen of delegations announce their choice. The motion was cat riod and the clerk pro ceeded w ith the call of states. There was no response until California was reached. Mr Tnrpio then stepped upon the platform and spoke u follows : Mr. Chairman und Gentlemen : That I am proud of the privilege of addressing you I ac knowledge , but that I am prouder still of the man whom I shall name 1 will not deny , for I feel , sirs , that this rcpublie holds no supeiior to Allen G , Thurman of Ohio. The gic-otlng iiccoided his name is a well deserved tribute. Its Hpontunlety lias been nobly earned. Ho assuiod such u greeting will bo accorded his name nt its every mention tluoughout this tcpublie from sea to sea and from the Uritish line to the gulf. Since taking his seat in the United States senate In Ibip'.l , the impi int of Ins genius is found deeply imbedded in the legislation of the countri. Tiom his lirstuppcaranco in the senate until his retirement from that bodi his VIACO was always raised in behalf of the people und in defense of their lights rorfoity years ho has been a prominent hVuio in public life and i et to day no man can point to u single act or cxpicsslon of his which does not do him ciedit. Large ut heuit , largo of brain , und larger still in cxporlcno3 , ho is the man of all men whoco lecord Jiistiiles his nomination at 3 our hands in the sense ( hat ho cannot bo de feated befoiotho people. A man of benevolent heart , mmtfestlng itself not only In private , 11 lo but it h is been a leading feature of his ot1l < ul careei When the Paclllo coast was endeavoring to ictard Chinese immigration , when it had decided that nationu'r legislation was necessary to uec ompli h the deshed result , when the merits of the subject wcio not under stood east of the Rocky mountains , Allen G Tliurnnin , then senator of the United States , was the tirst to raise ills \olui in dolenso of thosfi whoso means of Ih in , : were In danger aiU whoso homes wcro threatened will ) tie- suuction. \YU-.r. great railroad corpomtionS evi denced Intention to cvndo payment of their obligations to the government , this great by which offending conwrntinns were obliged to provide a sinking Mnd for the redemption of their promises. During the trying times of reconstruction Thurrann was the center figure lu the United States senate in uphold ing the dignity and Integrity of the constitu tion. Four years since the California dele gation put forward Thurman ns their candi date for the presidency , nnd were enthusias tic In pushing his nomination. And four years have but nugtacntcd their reverence and affection for him. Ills fame Is not his alone. It Is the proud herltago of the Amer ican pcoplo. Ills imina may bo most fittingly catiplcd with that of our honored presldmit , Grover Cleveland. Cleveland and Thurman will bo n ticket absolutely invincible. It will sweep the country with the ifiighty rush of n tidal wave of approval. Against It nil opposition will bo fruitless , The approval Of Clo\o- land's administration during the past lour jears , luidthc endorsement of bisections , the simplicity , yet remarkable ability with which ho has administered his great trust under the most trying circumstances , coupled with the nll-pervndlng affection felt for fidelity and honesty will make the Cleveland nnd Thurmnn war cry to affright the jiolUtcal enemy. The enthusiasm which will bo nrouscd upon Its' announcement will be Infract lous , and gather ing force nnd volume day by day It will , before - fore November , have "become epidemic. In diana honors Governor Gray by supporting him for this nomination ; Illinois is doing the same for General Hlack , Michigan for Dick inson , Wisconsin for Mr. Vilns , good men nnd true , each und ' all of them , nnd wcro ifr not tor the self-sacrl- llcing patriotism of Mr. Thurmun in response to un nlmost unanimous wish of the party to permit his name to como before jou , it were dinicult indeed to choose between such meritorious und nblo gentlemen. Their names are lit to grace this or any other ticket. Let no mistakes her made at this time. If jou but do your duty , if jou but give the people what thov expect nnd what they demand , the contest of parties Instead of Just commencing will bo practically ended , for the gteat clcctoinl and popular majorities which Cleveland nnd , Thurman will surely receive at the polls will bo a icvehition oven to ourselves. As representatives of the de mocracy of the nauon , wo have a duty to pet form. Wo must nominate the men the pcoplo have uliutWly nominated. Wo have but to endorse the popular vet diet. No less will bo accepted ntour hands. Nomlnato Allan G. Thurman. Nom inate him by acclamation. Let it not bo said that ono single democrat in nil this great union failed in this testimonial to tlio greatest Amet lean of his day , the noblest hi entiling man upon the American soil , tit consoit in the tcmploof fame for those patriotsnnd foundeisof our institution whoso sacred dust lies calmly sleeping beneath the sods of Mount Vernotf , Monticello and Her mitage awaiting the , dedication of our na tional pantheon. When the state of Colorado was reached Hon. .1. M. Pattcrsofi-addressod the conven tion ns follows : I have been chosen to piosont the name o Colorado's choice for vice president. It is a pleasing commission to me , for General Hlack and injsolf were educated in the same school , enlisted in the same company for the presenution of the union , and when the war was over often measured legal swords in the same courts. Wo feel there could bo no mis take in presenting to the democi atlc paity a man w ho , embraces in his own life the his tory of u bravo soldier , pati iotlc statesman and nn executive officer w itliout a superior within the limits of the country. Wo feel that when the human wolves and h\cuas , spawned since the war , would charge that the democi acy wi unfriendly to the soldier , wo could tmn to hUnand say to the people , "In his administration of the pension depart ment of this government jou have u liv ing denial of the slander jou have utteied. " Wo felt that when the fact would be called to the attention of the men of the south that when the Hag that had been inised on Sumtei was lowered at Appomattox , ho on his retuin to civil life in the stale of his adoption held aloft both of his aims that had been shattered upon southern battlefields and pioclmmed that this was a union of frco and equal stales , and with the eloquence of his tongue and the earnestness of his nature uigedthe pcoplo of the wcsteiu states to stamp out the feeling of pi ascription that our icpublicati enemies sotiuht to kmdlo within ijin hre st of the Aintjilcan people. The speakei' the1 ! gave a long history ot Ger.etal Ulaek's action at the Chicago con vention in l b I , culoi/ing him forlojaltj to McDonald and lead the following letter fiom the general : Q M.

This will not bo chnngc.1. The trenches lu which wo will light aio the same. The states , where victory is to bo ob tained , if wo succeed at nil , are the samo. You cannot recast the lines of battle nnd nn attempt to do so w 111 bo fraught with dls- nstor nnd menti the overthrow of our splendid democratic administration. Take wainlng by Oregon nnd rely on Indiana nnd jou will not bo deceived. Wo present to jou a man for this ticket , physically and mentally , ntrong , endowed with mental aud phj'slcal llfo. Wo name a man who has over pi oven himself n winner. Ho has never been started in n race that ho has not led the Hold. If jou saj'ho came Into to the democratic partj'I fay that ho came In the j car when Doo- little came , when Trumbull came , when John M , Palmer , whom the democrats hnvo nominated for govemor of Illinois , came. Ho came with them nnd allow mo to say to you that a recruit Into the ranks of the demo cratic party in Indiana , soon beoomes a vet eran soldier. rourj'carH ago Indiana cast 49r > )000 votes. She will cast 5 ! > UOUO votes at the approaching election , nnd with that enormous vote there Is simply a pluralltj' be tween the great parties of six or seven thousand no tnajoi ity but n pluralltj' . You can imagine , then , w hat its shock of battle is thero. You can imagine how Important It Is to have evcrj' atom of strength , personal und political , which wo can obtain in Older to hold our haul piessed lines. Ueeruit the critical point of battle if j'ou are wise. The kej' of the situation is in Indiana. Sticngtlien her. Come to the rescue on the Held whet o the tight is to be hottest and the battle to bo won , If won at nil. I rellcct upon no other name before this convention , but I charge everj- candid mind to answer what electoral vote , what state any other name can brinp to the oleetoi.il college except that of Isaac P Graj' . Wo do not put up a man foi show nor pat ado , but for a hard battle and winning results. Isaac P. Gray was on the same ticket with Glover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendiicks , and strong as. that ticket was in Indiana , a com bination of power e\okinp enthusiasm nnd the vcij heart of our peoplejet this man whom wo present cairlcd the state by a ni.ijonty of 8bO moro votes than Cleve land and Hendiicks canicd U for the picsl- dency and the \ico presidency. Ho will bo in the tanks lighting whether on yoin ticket or not , but ho is so intei woven with our hopes and our organization thlsjeai in Indi ana , that his name on the ticket becomes a Rimiaiiby of success. I uni not hero to saj' wo cannot win without him , but I am hero to say that If j'ou want to take a bond of faith , to reduce it to an absolute ccitainU on the liftcen electoral votes of Indium befote jou leave this hall nominate IsaucP.
