John M. Palmer, of Illinois, and Simon Bollvar Buecker, of Kentucky, two white haired veterans of the war, rival comman- ders of the Blue and Gray, were nominated by the National Democratic Convention for President and Vice-President on a brief but emphatic piatform, which repudiates the doctrines enunciated by the Chicago conven- tion; indorses President Cleveland and his administration in glowing terms; declarad for the gold standard; tariff for revenue only; liberal shipping laws; currency reform; civil service and economy in public expendi tures. The apirit that animated the conven- tion was contained in this declaration of the piatform: “The Democratic party has survived many defeats Lat It could not survive a victory won in beball of the doctrine and policy proclaimed In ita name at Chicago.” And 80, in the language of Mr. Hammond, of Louisiana, this convention placed in the banda of other nominees their banner, aod bade them fing it forth “skyward and sea ward, high and wide,” The real work of the convention was soon transacted when it was reached, but the de iay in reporting the plaiform gave oppor. tunity for a series of eloquent and stirring speeches. The a‘iendance was very large, and the enthusiasm was great. Col, W. CP. Breokiaridge, the famous Blue Gram orator; DeWitt C. Warner, of New York; H A. Hammond, of Georgia; ¥.
