It was presented then for tho 811110 reason, for tho samo causes, that wo present it now; it was because the govern ment of that city had becomo corrupt and had become debauched, and political integrity sat not In high places. Tho people looked for a man who would represent tho contrary, and without any hesitation thoy named Graver Cloveland as tho man. (At this point there wspa wild burst of npplaus?. Some of tho New York delegation, practically tho entire Wisconsin delegation, and some few scatter ing delegates, stood up and mado all tho dem onstration possible In Cleveland's favor.) Tho result of that election and Ills holding that offlco was that In loss than nine months the State of New York found herself In a po sition to want just such a candidate and for euch a purpose, and when at the convention In 1883 his namo was placed in nomination for the offlco of governor ot tho Stato of Now York tho samo people, tho samo class of peo ple know that that meant honest government, It meant pure government, it meant Demo cratic government, and it was ratiflxl by tho people.

Much confus ion and excitement prevailed during tho de livery ot Grady's speech, and General Bragg, of Isconsin, raised tho point of order that the business of tho convention was the nomi nating not the attacking of candidates. At the request of Mr. Manning, chairman of tho New York delegation, Mr. Grady received unanimous consent to finish Ids remarks.

A delegate from Arkansas, offered a resolution abrogating and discon tinuing In future tho two-thirds rule In tho nomination of candidate for President and Vice-President. Mr. Cockran, of Now York, moved to lay the resolution on tho table, characterizing It as a revolutionary proposi tion. Mr. Abliett, of New Jorsoy, said it was absurd for this convention to attempt to mako rules for the next convention, and ho moved to postpono the resolution indeihdtely, Mr. Cockran withdrawing Ills motion.

Ho would allow Gen eral Butler thirty minutes to discuss his re port; he would also allow fifteen ndnutos to Mr. Convcrso, of Ohio, and five minutes to Mr. Wnttorson, and then ho would movo tho previous question aud ask for a vote General Butler said that most things in tho platform ho agreed to, toine things ought to bo added to it, and ono thing specially ought to bo changed. That ho would submit to the bet ter judgment of tho convention. He asked tho clerk to read his minority' report. Tho clerk commenced by enunciating slowly and very distinctly tho words "General Butler's platform," which caused a general laugh. BUTLEn'S PLATFORM. Butler's platform declares: That no taxes, direct or indirect, can be rightfully imposed upon tno pcopio oxcer.t to meet tno oxponsos of an economically administered government; that tho peoplo will tolerate direct taxation for tho ordinary expenses of tho government only in caso of dire necessity or war; that tho revenue necessary for such oxpenses should bo raised by customs duties upon im ports; that in levying such duties, two prin ciples should be carefully observed; first, that all materials used in tho arts and manu factures and tho necessaries of life not produced In this country shall como in free, and that nil arti cles of luxury should bo taxed as high as pos sible up to the collection point; second, that in imposing customs duties tho law must be carefully adjusted to promote American en terprise and Industries, and not to create monopolies, and to cherish and foster Ameri can labor; that as capital is strong and labor is weak, labor has a right to demand of the government to establish tribunals, in which groat controversies botween them which may lead to revolution may bo judicially and justly determined, with tho fullest powor to enforco thoir decrees, and that it should bo provided by law that laboring mon may combine and organize for their own protection, as capital may bo incorporated; tho platform also de nounces tho importation of foreign laborers, monopolies, the absorption of tho public lands by corporations and foreigners, and tho estab lishment ot a casta by lifo tenure in tho civil service. It further declares that tho govern ment nlono has powor to Issue money. Many of tho planks, and especially thoso relating to labor, wore applauded. General Butler noxt aroso and proceeded to dofond his minority report. Congressman Converso, of Ohio, next spoko In favor ot tho adoption of tho platform as reported by tho majority of tho committee. Henry Watterson.of the LouMille Courier Journal, followed Congressman Converso In a spooch defending the majority report. THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.

When tho vote ot Indiana was being announced Sena tor Voorheos stated that ho wished specially to have his voto recorded in tho atUrmntive. The platform was then adopted with a few dissenting votes. THE FIRST BALLOT. When tho platform was disposed of, Mr. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, presented a motion which was adopted, that the convention pro ceed to ballot for a presidential candidate. Great excitement ensued, and tho aisles wero packed with delogates. General Butler went down to his delegation, and then walked out of tho hull An unsatisfied delegate appealed from the decision of tho Chair on the vote or dering a ballot. The appeal wa3 voted down with hardly a dissenting vote. ' A motion to tnko a recess was lost by 100 yeas to 010 nays, and tho first ballot was ordered. Tho vote was taken by States.

Tho call of States was proceeded with, and when Illinois was reached that Stato cost ono voto for Hendricks. Here there suddenly broke out a sccno of wild, general and cnthuslastlo cheering ami waving of hate, fans and handkerchiefs. It was lmpotslblo for the chair to suppress it, although ho tried. Most of tho delegates anil spectators took part In it It was renewed again and ngaln, mid finally tho band joined In tho demonstration with "Hall Columbia" and other patriotic airs. At tho end of a quarter of an hour, and whllo tho uproar was at IU height, Senator Voorhecs mounted tho platform aud announced that at tho request of tho Indiana delegation he withdrew tho namo of Joseph E.

Several changes weromade, North Carolina transfer "ing her 22 votes from Bayard to Clovelnn 1, vhereat there was great cheering nnd excite ment; Virginia lollowed by giving 23 votes to Cleveland and 1 for Hendricks. Other changes followed until Cloveland had tho necessary two-thirds vote 657. At this point tho cheering was deaf ening. An anchor of flowers was car ried to tho New York delegation, and a tuffod oaglo was carried in procession. Tho band struck up moro patriotic airs, and flags .nd banners wero waved, and tho excitement reached a fever point The result of the re vised second ballot, by which Governor Gro ver Cloveland, of New York, received tho National Democratic nomination for Presi dent, was: Clovoland C83 Bayard 61 Hendricks K Thurman 4 McDonald 2 Randall 4 Then Mr. Menzics, of Indiana, changed the voto of that State to Cleveland, moved that the vote bo mado unanimous. At this moment an immense oil painting of Governor Clovoland was carried on the plat form,waiting to bo set up when tho voto should be announced and still the work ot changing tho voto was going on In the most confused man ner. The announcement was followed by great cheering, the bands playing, tho peoplo waving their hats and handkerchiefs. A largo floral piece with an eagle on top and tho name of Cleveland was brought in. Tho question was then put on Menzie's mo tion to make the nomination unanimous, aud it was carried. Mr. Wallaco, of Pennsylvania, moved for a recess to 5 r. M. In order to givo timo for a consultation on tho Vice-Presidency. Tho motion was carried. HENDRICKS FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. When tho convention reassembled .at S p. M. tho roll of States for candidates for Vice President was cal'od. California presented tho namo of General Rosecrans: Colorado named Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana; Georgia named General Black, of Illinois; whodeclined the honor; Illinois named Gcn ral Black; Kansas named Governor Gliek. of that State. Missouri seconded McDonald's nomination; Oregon seconded the nomination of Rosecrans. When Pennsylvania was reached tremendous enthusiasm was uroused by Senator Wallace nomination of TlioniasA. Hendricks, of IndUua. Tho candidates pre viously named were withdrawn and amid un common excitement and turmoil Mr. Hen dricks was nominated for Vice President by acclimation. Tho delegntes from tho dl I rercnt States seized their banners, and forming in line, marched up and down tho aisles, waving ther hits anil singing songs. Av'iien quiet was restored resolutions of thanks wero pasial to the chairman and other officers, and at 7:25 p. M. tho convention ad journed without day. National Democratic l'lntrorni. The Democratic party ot the Union, tlirooch Its representative In nation tl convention assemblou, tecognl7es that, as the union Krowa older, new la mes are botn of time ami progress, and rid Ijsiicj pcrfah. Ilut tho fundamental principle sot tlioDc mo(racr,aruiov ed by ttie united voice of the people, remain and will eer remain aa tho bct and only security for tbo continuance of free go einment. The preservation of personal rights; the equality of all citizens before tho law; tho reserved rights ot the States, and tho supremacy of the federal gov ernment villain the limits of tho constitution will ever form the truo basis of oar liberties, and can never bo surrendered without dcstrotlng that bal ance of rights and powers which enable' acontl- E ent to bo developed in peace, and scclal order to e maintained by means of local self-covernment. lint It Is Indispensable for the piactlcal application and enforcement of these fundamental principles that the government should not always be con trolled by one political party. Frequent change of administration is as necessary as constant recur rence to the popular will. Otherwise, abuses grow, and the government. Instead ot being carried on for tho geDeral welfare, becomes an Instrument for Imposing heavy burdens on tho many who are ?overned. for tho ucnent of tho few who govern ubllc servants thus become arbitrary rulers. This Is now the condition of the country; hence a chance la demanded. Ilio Hepubllcan party, so far as principle li con cerned, is a reminiscence. In practice It Is an or ganization for enriching those who control Us ma chinery. Tho frauds and Jobbery which havo been brought to lizht In every department of the govern ment are sufficient to have called for reform within the ltc publican party, yet thoso In authority, mado reckless by tho long possession of power, tune suc cumbed to Its corrupting Influence and havo placed In nomination a ticket against which tho Independ ent portion of the party are in open revolt. '1 hero fore, a chango is demanded, buch a change was alike necessary In 1570, but tho will of tho people was then defeated by a fraud which can never bo forgot en nor condoled. Again, in 1SS0, the chango domanded by tho pcopio was defeated by tho lavish use of money contributed by unscrupulous con tractors and shameless Jobbers, who had bargained for unlawful profits or blgh office.

Ihe Democracy pledges Itself to purify the ad ministration from corruption, to restore economy, to revive respect for law, and to reduce taxation to the lowest limit consistent with due regard to the preservation or the faith of the nation to Its credi tors and pensioners. Knowing full well, however, that legislation affecting the operations of the people shou'd De cautions and conservative In method, not In advance ot public opinion, but re sponsive to Its demand, the Democratic party is pledged to revhe the farld in a spli It of fairness to all Interests.

From the foundation of this government taxes collected at His enstom-house have been tho chief source ot Federal revenue. Fuch they must continue to be.

An American citizen is only responsible to his own guvcruiucm lor any hci uuna m nis own country under her flag, and can only bo trlod therefor on her own soil and according to her laws; and no power exists In this government to expatriate an American citizen to bo tried in any foreign land for any such act. This country has never had a well defined and executed foreign joltcy save under Democratic ad ministration. I'bat policy has over been in regard to foreign na ions, so long as they do no act detri mental to the Interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens, to let them alone; that as a result ot this policy we recall the acquisition of Lonislana Florida, California, and of the adjacent 31exlcaa territory by purchase alone, and contrast these rand acquisitions of Democratic statesmanship llli the purchase of Alaska, the solo frutt of a Itc publlcan administration of nearly a quarter of a century.

Instead of tho Hepubllcan paity's Urltlth policy, we demand lor llie people of the United states an American volley. Under Demo crallc rule and policy our merchants and sailors, flying the stars and stripes In every port, success fully searched out a market for the varied products of American Industry; under a quarter century of Hepubllcan rule and policy, despite our manifest advantage over all other nations in hlgh-pald labor, favorable climates and teeming soils; despite free dom of trude among all these Unitod tiiates; de spite their population by the foremo.t races of men aud an annual Immigration of the young, thrifty, and adventurous of all nations; desplto our freedom hero from tho Inherited burdens of life tnd lndu'try in Old World monarchies, their costly war nailes, their vast tax-consuming, non-pro-dutlng standing armies; desplto twenty years of peace, that Hepubllcan rule and policy have man aged to surrender to (Ireat llrltaln, along with our commerce the control of the markets of the world. Instead of tho Hepubllcan paity's llrltish policy ,wo demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, im American policy. Instead of the Hepubllcan party's discredited scheme and false pretense of friend ship for American labor, expressed by Imposing taxes, wo demand, In behalf of tho Democracy, freedom for American labor by reducing taxes, to tho end that these United tiiates may compete ith. onhlnderod powers for ibo primacy among natloua In all ihe arts ot peaco and fruits of liberty. With profound regret uo have teen apprised by tho Venerable statesman, through whose person was struck that b ow at the vital principle of re publics, acquiescence In tho will of the majority, that ho cannot permit ut again to place In Ills hands tho leadership cf tho Democratic hosts, fur tho reason that the achievement of reform In tbo aarcNiirtrauon or mo riuerai government is an undertaking now too heavy for his age and falling strength, lfejolciug that his me has been prolonged until the general Judgment of our fellow-countrymen Is united in the wish that that wrong were righted In hit person, for the Democ- racy of the United States we offer to him, In hi withdrawal from public cares, not only our re spectful sympathy and esteem, but also that best homage or freemen, the pledge of onr devotion to theptlnclples and the cause now Insepuable in the history of this republic from the labors and the name of Samuel J.

Ho is son of a minister, and lias relatives prominent among the Protestant clergy. After obtaining such instruction as was procurable at tho common schools In tho various places of his father's rcsldenco, h was sent to the academy near Clinton, N. Y, to finish his education. From tho Clinton academy young Cloveland went to New York city, where for some time lio acted ns clerk in caharltablo Institution. From New York he started for tho West with an other young man, their objective point being Cloveland, Ohio. Hut stepping on his way to visit an uncle In Buffalo, ho was lnducol to accept n situa tion as clerk in tho storo of his relative. At this timo tho future governor was eighteen years old, cnergetlo and ambitious, with an earnest dosiro to become a lawyer. This as- filratlon was favored by his uncle, at whoso louso ho resided, and ha soon found himself installod ns clerk In tho ofilco of a prominent Buffalo law firm. In 1859 ho was ndmitted to the bar. Ills first polltk" cal olllco was as first assistant distrlctnltorney for Erlo county, In which Dullalo is situated, his chief being C. C. Torrance, This offlco Mr. Clovoland held for three years, or until tho oxplrntlon of District. Attorney Torrance's term. Ho was nomin ated on tho Democratlo tlckot as Mr. Tor rance's successor, but was defeated. Five' years after this ovent. In 1870, Mr. Cleveland was cloctod sheriff of Erlo county. In 1881 ho was elected Mayor of Buffalo, and tho Sromlncnco which he gained In this position row attention to his merits as a guberna torial candidate, and led to his nomination by tho Democratic) Stato convention in 1882. Ho was elected by an overwhelm ing and momornblo majority, receiving; 635,818 votes to 843,803 votes for his Republi can competitor, Hon. Charles J. Folger. sec retary of tho treasury. This majority of 102,851 votes Is the largest over obtained by a. gubernatorial candidate in tho Stato of New York. Blnco his election, Governor Clove land, who is a bachelor, has attended quietly to his duties at Albany. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Thomas Andrews Hendricks was born In Ohio on tho 7th ot September, 1310. Ho was graduated from South Hanover college in that. Stato In 1810, when he removed to Chambers burg, Ponn., and began tho study of law. Threo years later ho was admitted to tho bar nnd bogan tho practlcoof his profession in In diana. Hi3 career opened auspiciously, and In a fow years ho boenmo a lawyer of stand ing. In 1818 ho was elected to tho Stato legislature, and in 1850 was a dele gate to tho Stato Constitutional con vention. Tho noxt yoar ho was elected to tho Houso of Representatives, and in 1853 his term oxplred. Ho was appointed commissioner of the general land olllco by President Pierce and from this on ho has boon ono ot tho most Im portant political characters in Indiana. In 1800 ho ran for governor against Henry S. Lano, and was defeated. Ho was cloctod to tho Unitod States Senate in 1803 for the long term. Hero ho won considerable distinction as ti dobater. His name was presented to tho Democratlo national con vention in 1808 as candidate for the Presi dency, and ho would no doubt have received the nomination but for tho Ohio delegates, who by persistently voting for Horatio Sey mour iliially causal a stnmpedo In his favor. Tho frionds of Mr. Hendricks havo always In sisted that his nomination would have insured a Democratic victory. Again, in 1872, ho was proposed as a candldato in the Demo cratlo national convention, nnd but for tho unexpected fusions ot that timo ho would Jrobably havo boen tho nominee of his party, lo was nominated for Vico-Presldent hi 1870, nnd slnco that memorable contost his profes sional duties have engrossed the greater part of his attention.
