1T.ESENT1N0 CLEVELAND'S NAME.
Ex-Congressman Ijckwood arose when
Now York was called, amid groat applause,
and said :
"No man has greater respect or admiration
for the honored names which have been pro
tented to this convention than myself ; but,
gentlemen, tho woild is moving, and moving
rapidly. From tho North to the South, now
men, men who have acted but little in poli
tics, are coming to tho front (applause), and
to-day thcro are hundreds and thousands of
young men in this country, men who are to
cast their first vote, who are independent In
politics, and thoy aro looking to this conven
tion, praying silently that thcro shall bo no
mistake mado here.
"Thoy want to drive tho Republican party
from power; they wonUto cost their votes for
a Democrat in whom thoy believe, (Ap
plause.) These pooplo know from tho record
of the gentleman whoso namo I shall present
that Democracy with him means honest gov
ernment, pure government, and protection ot
the rights of tho pooplo of every class and
every condition.
"A little moro than throe years ago I had
tho honor, at tho city of Buffalo, to present
the name of tills same gentleman for the olllco
of mayor of that city. 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. (Oners.)
"And, gentlemen, now. after eighteen
months' service there, the Democracy of tho
State of New York como to you and ask you
to givo to tho country,to give the Independent
and Democratic voters of tho country.to glvo
the young men of tho country, tho new blood
of tho country, and present the name of
G rover Cleveland as its standard bearer for
the next four ycara
"I shall Indulge in no eulogy of Mr. Cleve
land. I shall not attempt any further de
scription of his political career. It is known.
His Democracy is known. His statesmanship
Is known throughout the length and breadth
of this land. And all I ask of this convention
Is to let no passion, no prejudice to Influence
Its duty which it owes to tho pooplo of this
country. Be not deceived. G rover Cloveland
can give tho Democratic party tho thlrty-slr
doctoral votes ot tho State of Now York on
election day.. Ho can, by his purity of char
actor, by his purity of administration, by his
fearless and undaunted courage to do right,
bring to you more votes than can anybody
elso.
"Gentlemen of tho conventlon,butono word
more, Mr. Cleveland's candidacy before this
convention is offered upon tho ground of his
honor, his integrity, his wisdom and his
Democracy. (Cheers.) Upon that ground
we ask it, believing that it ratified by this
convention he can be elected and take his seat
at Washington as a Democratic President of
tho United States."

Mr, Grady then took tho platform and
made a speech, asserting that Mr, Clove
land could not carry the State ot Now
York, and that the laboring classes and
the anti-Monopoly Lenguo of New York
would oppose Mr. Cleveland. 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.
Mr. Cockran, of New York, followed Mr.
Grndy in a speech seconding the nomination
of Senator Thurman, and attacking Governor

At 0 r. M. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, chair
man of tho commltteo on resolutions, Bteppod
to tho nlatform to nresent tho rcoort of that
commltteo. His nppcaranco was greeted with
cheers. Tho platform was read by ono of tho
reading clerks. When tho rending of tho
platform was finished Mr. Morrison said ho
would yield now to General Butler to present
a minority report. 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.

question on tho report and substitute and it
was ordered. Tho vote was then taken by

jected yeas, OTK; nays, 714f. When tho

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

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

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

Ihe Democracy pledges Itself to purify the ad

An American citizen is only responsible to his own

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

filratlon was favored by his uncle, at whoso
