to take fna! actiou at a fixed date aril
to set the time themselves. This pro
position was noc accepted for the reason
as stated by one of the members of the
committee that the Republicans could
not agree amon? themselves.
The Main It?pnhHcan Convention
that met at Portland on Tuesday adopt
ed the following resolution which shows
that theystill have a hankering for Illain's
nomination : "That thnt this Conven
vention Bends across the pea words of

"A sinokp cat dreads the fire" and
James G. Blaine, after a three years
study of the political situation Las come
to tbe wise conclusion that he don't
want the Republican nomination for the
presidency. If there was an earthly
chance for an election, does anyone be
lieve that James G. Elaine, in the prime
of life, afterstriving for the past twelve
years for the presidency, now that be
could have tbe Republican nomination
for the asking would give it up. Mr.
Riaine has come to the conclusion that
Grover Cleveland will succeed himself
and that tbe grapes beyond bis reach
are sour.
"As to the second place on the tick
et,'' aald Senator Voorbees, who is at
his home in Teire Haute, Ind., "while
the Democracy of Indiana worked hard
for tho nomination ot Governor Gray,
yet the name of Allen G. Thurman is
dear to us all, and he will receive the
earnest and affectionate support of
every Democrat in the State. Neither
Governor Gray nor any of his friends
will falter "oi a moment, and from this
time until November the Democratic
party of Indiana will set an example of
united hard work for the cause which
the party In other States will do well
to imitate. In my judgment we shall
carry Indiana."
As a sample of Republican statesman
ship the resolution offered by Senator
Chandlier, of Maine, in th United
Stages Senate on Tuesday is unique, but
has a familiar sound to those whose re
collections run bacs to the cay of car
pet bagism.
Mr. Chandler offered a resolution
"referring the credentials of Senator
Gibson of Louisiana to the Committee
on Privileges and Election, with in
structions to that committee to report
wnether at the tinvi of the alleged Sen
ator! 1 election a R?pubMcau form of
goyermm existed in Louisaoa, and
the election of Mr. Gibson was legaT,
and whether the Legislataio was elected
according to law ; also to ascertain
whether at such State election the"re
was any vio'e:.ce or fraud whirh pre
vented a fair election, and whether
false returns were made and counted.
The committee appointed by the Con
vention at St. Louis, to notify th can
didates of their nomination, decided on
Thursday last to meet at the Arlir.gton
Hotel, in Washington, on the 2 h day
of June, at i'J o'clock a m., and at the
hour of 12 o'clock, noon, to proceed to
the White House formally to cotify Mr.
Cleveland of his nomination. It was
also determined to request Mr. Thur
man, th nominee for Vice President,
to be at Washington or some convenient
point for the committee, for the purpose
of receivfng his notification, and a letter
was at once dispatched to Mr. Thur
man, in order to give him time to make
his business engagements to that nd.
The National Committee will also be
present and accompany the committee
on notification, at which time the or
ganization ot the National Committee
will be perfected for the purpose of the
coming campaign.
In another column or our paper will
be found the platform adopted at St.
Louis, by the representatives of the
Democratic party, on which its stand
ard bearers, Grover Cleveland and Al
len G. Thurmac, stand for the suffrages
of the people.
It is a short, clear and forcible state
ment of the principles of the Democrat
ic party and makes the issue of tax re
duction and revenue reform without
any equivocation. The reduction of
taxes upon the necessaries and th plac
ing of crud? materials oa the free list
are steps for the relief of tbe people
which may not suit the grabbing cor
porations, rich monopolies, and bluated
trusts, but with the plain people who
are natural Democrats, it will te recog
nized as a necessary measure for theu
relief. The cry of free trade with a
tariff still greater than ever was dream
ed of by the fathers of protection to our
"infant industries," like the bloody
shirt is worn threadbare. It has no
terrors to the people who have couie to
understand the Republican doctrine of
imposing a tariff for the enrichmentand
benefit of a few corporations and the
Democratic doctrine of collecting only
such duties as will protect labor with
out eating up the fruits of labor by
increasing the cost of living.
The collecting of I", millions of taxes
leyond the needs of the government is
regarded as an imposition upon the
people, a menace to the businefs inter
ests of the country and a 'condition"
that should not exist. That all over
and above the amount needed- for the
necessary expanses or the government
economically expended, should Le left

The Democratic Platform.
"The Democratic party of the United
Stales, in the National Convention as
sembled, renews tht pledge of its fideli
ty to Democratic faith, and reaffirms tbe
platform adopted by its representatives
in tbe convention ot 1SS1. and indorses
the views expressed by President Cleve
land in bis last annual message to Con
gress as the correct interpretation of
that platform upon the question of tar
iff reduction ; nnd also indorses the
efforts of our Democratic representa
tives in Congress to secure- a reduction
of excessive taxation.
"Chief among its principles of party
faith are the maiutainance of an indis
soluble union ot free and indestructible
States, now about to enter upon its
second century of unexampled progress
and renown ; devotion to a i!ab of gov
ernment regulated by a written consti
tution strictly specifying every granted
power, and expressly reserving to the
States or people the entire ungranted
residue of power ; the encouragement
of a jealous popular vigilance, directed
to all who have been chosen for brief
terms to enact and execute the laws,
and are charged with the duty of pre
serving peace, insuring equality and es
tablishing justice.
"The Democratic party welcome in
exacting scrutiny of tbe administration
of the executive power, which four years
ago was committed to its trusts in the
ejection of GroverjCieveland President
of the United States, but it challenges
tbe most rearching inquiry concerning
its Gdelity and devotion to the pledges
which then invited tbe suffrages of tbe
paople. During a most critical period
of our ilnancial affairs, resulting from
over-taxation, the auomalous condition
of our currency, and a public debt un
matured, it has, by the adoption of a
wise aud conservative course, not only
averted disaster, but greatly promoted
the prosperty of the people. It has re
versed the improvident and unwisa poti
cy of the Republican party touching
the public domain, and nas reclaimed
from corporations aud syndicates, alien
and domestic, and restored to the people
ne iny one hundred millions of acres of
valuable land to be sacredly held as
homesteads for our citizens.
"While carefully guarding the inter
ests of the taxpayers and conforming
striccly to the principles of justice aud
equity, it has paid out more tor pen
sions and bounMes to the soldiers and
sailors of tbe Republic than was ever
paid before during an equal period.
"I!y intelligent management and a
judicious and economical expenditure of
the pu.ilis imiiey. ic h sei on foot the
reconstruction of the American navy
upon a system which forbids the recur
rence ot scandal and insures successful
results.
"It has adopted acd consistently
pursued a firm and prudent foreign poli
cy, preservir. peace with all nations
while scrupulously maintaining all the
rights and icttre-.ts of our Government
and people at home asd abroad.
The exclusion from our shares of
Chinese laborers has been effectually
secured under the provisions ot a treaty,
the operat'ou of which has been postpo
ned by the action of a Republican ma
joitty in the Senate.
"Honest reform in tbe Civil Service
has been inaugarattd and maintained
by President Cleveland, and he has
brought tho public service to tne high
est standard of erlliciency not only r;
rule and t recept, butty the example
of bis own untiring and unselHau ad
ministration of public affairs.
"In every branch and dep-rtment of
the government under Democratic con
trol, the r:g.its and the weltare of all
the people Lave been guarded and de
fended ; eveiv public interest ha? been
protected aud the equality ot all our
citizens :tfore the law. without regard
to race or color, has been steadfastly
maintained.
"Upon its record thus exhibited, and
npon the pledge of a cantinuance to
th5 people of the benefits ot good gov
ernment, the National Democracy in
vokes a renewal of popular trust by tbe
re-lectiou of a chief magistrate who
h been faithful, able and prudent.
They invoke in addition to that trust by
the transfer also to tbe Democracy of
the legislative power.
"The Republican pirty, controlling
tbe Senate and resisting In toth Houses
of Congress a reformation of urjust and
unequal tax laws wMch have outlasted
the necessities ot war, and are now un
dermining the abundance of a long
peace, deny to the people equality be
befoue the law and the fairness and the
justice which are their rights.
"Tbe cry of American labor for a bet
ter share of the rewards of industry is
stifl-d with false pretense ; enterprise
is fettered and bound down to borne
markets ; capital is disturbed with
doub: and unequal, unjust laws can
neither be properly amended nor re
pealed. "The Demosratis party will continue
with all the ponrer confided to it to strug
gle to reform these laws in accordance
with tbe pledges of its last platform,
indorsed at the ballot box by the tuf
rages of the people.
"Of all th industrious freemen cf
our iand an immense inijorify, includ
ing every tiller ot the foil, gain no ad
vantage, from excessive tax laws : tut
the price of nearly everything they buy
is increased by the favoritism of an un
equal sy9'euj of tax legislation. All
nuneces3ary taxation is unjust taxation.
It is repugnant to th creed of Democ
racy thai by such taxation the cost of
the necessaries of life should be unjust
ly increased to all our people. Judged
by Democratic principles, the interests
of the people are betrayed when, by
unnecessary taxation, trusts acd com
binations are permitted and fostered
which will unduly enrich the few that
combine to rob our citizens by depriv
ing them of the benefit or natural com
petition. Every Democratic rule of
governmental action is violated when,
through unnecessary taxation, a vast
sum or money, far bevond the needs cf
an economical admin'stration. is drawn
from the people and the channels of
trade, and accumulated as a demoral
izing surplus In the National Treasury.
"Th money now lying idle in the
Federal Treasury, resulting from super
fluous taxation, amounts to more than
51i2.".000,00 ; and the surplus collected
is reaching the sum of more than ?"0.
OOO.OiX) annually. Debauched by this
immense temptation, the remedy of the
Republican party Is to met and to ex
hnust it by extravigant taxation. The
Iernocratic remedy :stoentorce frug-tluv
in t.utlic expetdiiures, MtJd abolish un
necessary taxation. Our established do
mestic industries and enterprises should
not and need not le endangered by a re
duction and correction of the burdens of
taxation. On the contrary, a fair and
careful revision of our tax laws, withdue
allowance for the difference between
the wages cf American and foreign
labor, must permit ard encourage every
branch ot such ludustry ud enterprise
by giving them assurances of an extend
ed maiket and steady and continuous
operation, in the interest of American
labor, which should in no event be ne
glected. The revision or our tax laws,
contemplated by the Democratic paits,
is to promote the advantages ol such
labor, by cheajtening the cost of the
necessaries of life In the borne of every
workingmac, and at the stme time se
curing to bim steady and remunerative
employment. Upon this question of
tariff reform, to closedy concerning
every phsse of our National life upon
every question ii,vc,vtd in tho problem
of go.d government, the Democratic
party sul'Uii.siis piinciples acd proiess
ions to the ic.ie.lieent sud'ragea of tbe
Auterica people."
The Vital Question,
It is confessed on all sides that tbe
one vital issue of the contest just open
ed by tbe nomination of the Democratic
candidates is tariff revision and revenue
redaction. Tney constitute one issue
and tbey are paramount.
The tariff is accented by both parties
as the supreme issue of the contest, and
it will be discussed more generally and
more aearchiLgly than ever before in the
history of our political conflicts. It
has been discussed in tbe past chiefly as
a theory presenting the single question
of protective and encouraging manufac
turing industries or cheapening all pro
ducts to cousumets and levying tariff
duties soiey for revenue ; but it is now
presented to the people as a practical
question that calls for a solution oi an
anomalous condition of industry, com-,
mere and trade. It is brought face to
face with the people by the general par
alysis of overtaxation and the extor
tion of needless millions from industry
to overflow the Treasury and tempt
authority to profligacy and crime.
Do the, defendeis of oppressive war
taxes assume that the people can be
ceived by the cry of danger to protec
tion ? Do they assume that the people
will not be told and fnlly understand
that tbe Mills bill maintains higher pro
tection to our industries than were fixed
by Clay, the rather of protection, in the
tariff ot 1S12, or by Morrill and Kelly,
the presen fathers of protection, in the
tariff of 1S61 ? The tariffs of 112 and
of lSOl.were distinctively protective
tariffs ; they were made by protection
ists for protection ; there was no hinder
ance to the ample measure of protection,
and yet the official records show that the
tariff of IS 12 taxed tbe people 3.'j per
cent., that the tariff of 1SG1 taxe d them
34 per cent., that tbe present tariff
taxes them over 17 per cent., and that
the Mills bill reduces tariff taxes onlj
about 7 percent., leaving higher taxes
and higher protection than were fixed by
any distinctively protective tariff in the
whole tentuiy of our Government.
What answer can be made to these
Indisputable fa ts? Is it surprising
that such wise aud sagacious Republi
can journals a the Chicago Tribune and
the Miureapolls I'rts waro the Repub
licans of the danger of political revolu
tion in the West and Nortbwese, and
that the Provi'lenre Journal, the Repub
lican organ or th manufacturers of
New England, warns them of the dan
ger of political revolution in the very
cradle f R-puMicanista ? Who can
doubt that both Massachusetts and Illi
nois will be as doubtfni as New York.
Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut
ou the great issue now clearly deCned
and accepted f r leXSS ? It will be a
great battle. It will be fought, as
Chairman Ilensel expressed it, on the
cinder baLks, :n the mines, the shops,
the mills, the fields and tbe homes of
the country, aud the Republicans will

He was an admirably diciplinej drDater.

Tbe Case in a Nutshell.
"The mm who asserts that to lower
the tariff m'ais fre trade insults in
telligence. We brand bim as a falsifier.
The aim is to uphold wages and pro
tect the rights of all." The above ex
tract from Daniel Djugherty's speech
in nominating Cleveland at St. Louis
expresses in a nutshell the position of the
tariff reformer. It is a truth that
neither Eastern monopolists nor West
ern trusis dare fae. It is their aim to
i shroud the tariff Question with a web of
I sophistry. President Cleveltcd's mes-
sage on the subject wai plain, concise.
and intelligent. A schoolboy could not
mistake bis meaning. Yet from
the coffer? of the steel and iron manu
facturers there continues to cime,
in accents of fear, the cry of free trade.
Mr Dougherty brands them as falsifiers.
He is right. They do not dare face the
question as it really is. They distort
the President's menuing and attempt to
nystify the working men Chicwjo Xacs.
