E. U. Raucb and T. B. Sebnaltorly,

M r. Ziegler said :
Gentlemen of the Convention You will
admit that my selection as temporary
i'resiuent ol tbo tins Convention has
not been effected through any special
solicitation upon my part. 1 can and
do, thcreliiro, tho moro sincerely ro
turn to you my sinccro thanks for the
honor conferred upon me.
lloretoloro it bus been customary
for those selected to occupy like posi
tions to embrace the opportunity there
by afforded to givo expression to such
opinions they entertain, not only on
Bucb subjocts as conic before the Con
vention over which they presido, but
on many other subjects. This I deem
impolitic and unwiso. This Conven
tion is abundantly able to adjust, in a
satisfactory manner, all such questions
as are likely to como beforo it, or if it
is not, its inutility I apprehend would
not be materially assisted by any opin
ion that tho presiding olllcer might en
tertain. Laughter.!
1 ndulire me for a momentor two. The
time iscomo when the parly ot whatever
name or whatever character mil it pruc-
tico what they preach. Cheers. Here
after promiso mentis pcrlnrmance, and
tliclJcmocraticrjarty in thisoonvuntion,
acting on that principle, 1 apprehend,
will bo ablo by Its aelion liero to eo
homo to those who sent us here in tho
conscious conviction t hut wo have dis
charged our duty. Cheers. The pow
er of a Republican government .are
intunded to bo exercised in tho inter
ests of ull, and thereforo tho Democratic
party has over been averso to the
granting of special privileges except
wbore tbo Ucmuml lor tlicm bas orirri-
tinted in public neceiisilv. I do not
mean by this to convey the idea that
tho Democratic party is opposed to
progress. We nre opposed to that sort
1 progress wlilfu seeks tho accom
plishment of ends moro through inor
dinate cupidity than for tho general
wclluro. tiontienien, true progress is
not a hot bottso plunl forced into an
unnatural growth by the application
of artillciul means; it is a plant of
Bleady growth, rooted in Uio principles
ol justice ami rigbt and diffuses its rich
fruit over all. Neither is the Demo
cratic party a party which seeks the
achievement of power, or tbo mainte
nance when achieved by disreputable
means. J lie Democratic party is o parly
which bocks power through tho chan
nels of principle, find it intends never
to acliiuvo power in any other way.
Cheers. There comes a voice from
tho past a voice from tho fathers of
Uemocracy to this l;onvonlion call
ing upon them by their actions to pur-
gno a policy Unit will bo promotivo of
tbo public peace and order, tho pros-
tority ana na ipiness ol t no people, and
tho perpetuity end stability of Itepuh-
ican government. I uneers.j lid us,
then, bo animated by that noble ami
patriotic spirit which seeks the good
of every one. Let us go back not as
the Republican parly will be com pell,
ed after a liltlo while to go back and
soe bow tho executive, legislative and
judicial powers ol tho government have
departed Irom those great Jjcmorralic
truths which constitute its very life. 1
say let us be animated by that noblo
and patriotic spirit j if we do our ac
tion will be well.
It is near fifty years neor half a
century sinco 1 commenced to battle
lor tins great Democratic party. 1 saw
I in the scintu ol Its power; I saw it
in its minority, lis weakness but in
everything, whether adversity or pros
perity. Us principles wore ever tno
same eternal truths which are the only
hope of a freo people Lhoers.J I do
not Intend to detain this Convention.
Tt,ia aniinffi ifl aimtilv from mv heart :

and sinccro thanks for tbo honor you

M r. Slonger said :
Gentlemen of the Convention : Accept
my Bincoro thanks lor the honor you
bavo conferred in culling upon mo .to
preside over your deliberations. I con
gratulate you that we meet today with
a full representation Irom every district
in the htiite.
There is ono striking ncculiaritv
about tbo Democratic party. it novor
dies. Applaiiso.1 Otuer parties mav
rise and full, como und go with tho ideas
out of which they were born, but the
Democratic party lives on because its
principles are the principles of tbe
Constitution. Applause. Defeated
laid out for dead defrauded a voico,
' That's it applause it may bo, but
nevertheless our opponents may as well
take notice that, judging from its vitali
ty and recuperative power in the past,
while the earth lasts, liko Bccd lime
and harvest Democratic Conventions
will not cease. Applause. Defrauded,
I say, because I am not unmindful of
tho fact, gentlemen ol tho Convention,
that while I speak to you to day the
enairoi VV usbington and Jcllcrson
filled by a man who was rejected by a
quarter of a million of majority of tho
American people, and by a majority of
the .tlecloral votes ol tho States. 1 re-
mendous applause Tho wisdom of
recent Democratic policy bas been vin
dicated most marvelouuly by tho Hayes
Administration. Let mo call your at
tention to two points: In 1874 a Horn-
ocralic majority was elected to tho
lower House ol'Congreos and they in
stituted a plan for tho adjustment of
the difficulties of the country on a basis
of retrenchment, economy and reform
in every department ol Government.
Steadfastly and steadily they adhered
to that policy, opposed all the way
through by a solid front on tho part of
the Ivcpublican gentlemen of the II oiiso
and the result lo-duv ia that i;ii ftoil
UUU havo been saved by that vory poli
cy to the peoplo ol this country. Not
a Republican newspaper in the land
but said that tbo Democratic House
has crippled tho Government, not a
Republican orator in the land but said
that the Democratic Houso is cruel to
the employees of tho Government. Hut
what do wo find ? Tho fiiianciul Sec
rotary of tho Government goes to Ohio
the other night and makes a speech to
tbo peoplo there and claims credit for
tho lluycs administration because in
tho lust month they havo dismissed
from tho Treasury and the customs
servico of tho country nearly ono thous
and of tho employes, compelled by tho
retrenchment of tho Democratic Houso
claimed credit for by tho Hayes ad
ministration I fApplauso.l j
Another point: Tbo policy of tho
Democratic party has been to remove
from the Southern States tho army of
tno uniieu males, vvnyr it was
felt, just as cxnerieiieo has demonstrat
ed, that if tho army was once removed
not only peace but prosperity would
como to tbo Southern Stutes ; that tho
paralysis of trade and tho derangement
oi ine business interests ol tho Mouth
would ceaso, and that in tho luliiro
they. would march on to prosperity.
So tho Democratic House stood firm as
a slono wall against the ptoposition
that tho army of tbe United Slates
should be paid for remaining in tho
Southern States unless a provision were
engrailed upon that hill that thov
should not be used to sustain any ille
gal, bogus government in tbo South.
Democrats in tho Senate and Houso
were a unit for tho urmy bill with that
provision included. They woro a unit
against it unless that provision was in
cluded. And now all over this coun
f IT the gentlemen upon tho Republican
sido are ringing tho changes in favor
of Mr. Hayes' administration becauso
ho adopted the Democratic policy in
that particular, and withdrew the army
front tho South and left them to man
age their ow n affairs in their own way.
Another case compelled by tho Demo
cratic House claimed credit for by tbe
Hayes administration.
Sow, gentlemen of tho Convention,
I do not propose to detain you any
longer. I shall follow the example set
hy my venerable predecessor perhaps
ho will not allow me to say vonorahlo
in years ; 1 will say venerable in Dem
ocracy in that you are perfectly com
petent to deal with tho questions that
are to bo drought before you for your
action. All Unit I have to say is, that
I invoke upon your deliberations the
utmost harmony and good lecling. llut
why should I do that in a Democratic
Convention ? Tho Doniocratio parly
is Iho party of law and order, bocnuso
I enncuivo that in all Iho history of
this worm more is no grander specta
cle than that exhibited by the great
Democratic parly of this country last
March in quietly submitting, for the
sake of peaco unil order and tho pros
servution of our freo Institutions, to
llto most monstrous ontrago ami usur
pation that has ovor disgraced the an
nuls ot American history. Tremend
ous applause I can only say that the
act ol tho Electoral Commission which
placed Mr. Hayes in the Presidential
chair is a foul stain upon tho National
honor which all the rain In tho sweet
heavens cannot wash out, Applatiso.
Jlr. J. Ziegler I move that on all
questions coming beforo this Conven
tion for deliberation no delegato shall
speak longer than five minutes and not
moro than oneo on any ono subject.
Tho motion was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Kmbick tbe Con
vention adjourned nnlil eight o'clock
in tho evening.
EVENING SESSION.
Pursuant to adjournment the Con
vention met at eight o'clock, Mr.Sleng.
cr in tho chair.
On motion thechairapnointed Messrs.
Kerr, of Philadelphia, Jackson, ol Stil
livan. and Kolev. ol Allec-honv. aa a
Committee to wait upon the Commit-
NEW
toe on Resolutions to ascertain when
they would be ready to report.
Mr. Jackson, of tbo sub comittee, an
nounced that the Committeo on Reso
lutions would bo ready to report in
fiw minutes.
THE PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions,
through their Chairman, It. 1. John
bod, ot Cambria, mado report, which
was read as lollows:
The Democratic party of Pennsylva
nia, by ita delegates in Convention as
sembled, does declare :
First, That thelnduetloa ef Rulhford B. II aye.
into tnc otnoa or rrsalden. Botwithstaodtng the
election of Humule J. Tiidoa thereto, was a high
crime againat free gorernmeot, which baa not been
oondooed and wlU not be forgottea. Tbe came
'pirn or patriotism which forbore contest upoo
the flrat uflense, will resist aad punish any at
tempt at a eeeood.
Second, That tbe Immediate happy .Scot of
in. application ay toe federal aamiatsiration or
th. i.moeretio policy of aoa-laterreatioB la tbe
internal anaire or ine oomnera Busies, amply
viBdicates our frequcBt protests sgsinst previous
violations of tha reserved rights of the aer.ral
States to cieroise all power not delegated to the
general Government by express Constitutional
prorisioa.
Third, That the purpose to reform the olril
service which has been proclaimed by tbe preseut
aaministration, is like Its adopted " southern
policy," a confession of the failure of Radicalism
and a just tribute te the beiaoeraey, wbieh baa
long and earneetly demanded the orertbrow and
punishment ofoorrupt officials.
Fourth, That eapitaleombined In corporations
bss been too highly favored by botb state and
reueral legislation, and Its demands ror urge
returns are inoonaistent with the depressed ooadi-
tiea of the labonog aad buiincs interests of tha
country. We oppose further enactmenta for Its
special benehi at tb. elpeoae of other intereata.
Labor and capital abould have ao cause of an
tagoBism, and they should he left freo te adjaet
their owb relatioos. The rigbt to eoatract freely
eiUts for both parties. That the deprivation ol
employment ef many taoaoBBds ef iadustrioos
ciliicns and laborsrs and the deep distress ef
themselves and their families enlist our sympa
thies, and wa declare In the language ef Jefferson,
the founder of our party, that a " wise and trugal
Government which shell reetraln men front In
juring one another, shall leave them otherwise
free to regnlate their owe pursuita of industry
aad improvement, and shall not take Irom the
mouth of labor tbe bread it has earned," ia the
hope of tho people in adversity and their security
in prosperity and that ander such a Govera
msnt, abioh it is the miuioa of the Democracy
to maintain and perpetuate, any resort to force
or to violation of law, or invaaiun of the rights of
person or of property, to redress grievance, is
needless and at war with free tastitations, under
which the only rightful remedy is by frequently
recurring elections of feprescniatires of the peo
ple in State Legislatures aad ia the Federal Coa
gre, to aocompliah the will of the majority
wnieh should be accepted as the voiee of all.
Fifta, Tbatweeocept the admonition of Jack
son, in saying, Coosidsring standing armiea aa
dangerous to free Governtoeats in time of peace,
1 shall Bot Beck to enlarge our preseot establi,h
msnt, nor disregard the salutary leoa of politi
cal eiperieoce which teaches that tbe military
should be held subordinate to the eivil powei ; "
and accordingly tno inoreaee or the Foderal army,
and any attempt to employ it as a partisaa agent
of Federal authority, or for tnierlereaoe with tbe
sovereign right, or the states Bill receive tbe
continued earnest opposition of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania
Stith, That4 many of our rich meo have not
been content with equal proteotioa aad equal
bcneSte, bot have besought us to make them
richer by Aot of Congress," and 44 by attempting
to gratity their desires, we bars, la tbereeulta of
our legislation, arrayed section against section,
interest agatnet interest, and man against man In
fearful oommotioo," and, therefore, the grant, by
the Legislatures ol tho States, or by Gongr.se, of
slolusire privileges, and the establishment of
odious monopolies under tbe pretext or public
benefit or of Justioe to sections of the country, are
etrect assaults upoa lbs equal right, at tbe pee.
pl.t aod a. then monopolies nav. Men contrive!
to enrleb Hie few whilst n large number ef tbi
people are reduced te west, the Democracy ef
lennsylvama protests against sub. idles, I,
grants, loans of tbe public credit, and appropria
tions of the people'e money to any eorporatioB
as legalised plunder of the tax-produoiag Indus
tries of tbe country.
Serentb, That we look with alarm aod appro
hsnslon upon the pretensions of the great trans.
portation oompanlea to ae aoove tne luedamcntaj
law of this Commonwealth, which governs all ales
within our borders, end antll they aeeept thi
Constitution ef 1879 In good faith, they should
remain objects of the utmost vigilsnoe and jeal
eusv by Both Legislature end people.
Acsolreei. That we hereby re-aflirm and adopt
tbe nnanclal resolutions ot the national ucmo-
eratle pletform, adopted at St. Louts In I87S.
Mr. r urquhar (of Schuylkill) offered
tbe following as an amendment to tho
report ol tbo Coinmitloo :
rYreolrecl, We arc In favor of ,llver and United
States Treesary notes, populsrly called green
becks, being made full equal legal teudere with
gold, and demand that aaid Ireasury Botes be
substituted for the National Bank curreaoj and
that all banks or issue lis abolished.
ffeeoireit, That we are tn favor of paying thi
redeemable United States bonds ia legal tender
money equivalent to their market value i.i gold.
and that Congress authorise and require the
United Dtatee Ireesurer 10 purchase said Bond
in opeB market, and for that purpose authorise
the Issue of the aeoesiary legal trader eotee, all
legal t.Bder notea to he convertible loto 1-mt.d
Slates bonds beertng interest not greater than
four ceau per aanum,
Mr. Coflroth raised the point of order
that, all tbo amendments not having
been laid bcloro tho Committeo on
Resolutions, it was out of order.
Mr. Farquhar insisted that the Con
vention had the right to adopt such
Resolutions as they dceniod tit.
The Chair ruled tho Resolution out
of order.
Tho question being, will the Conven
tion agree to the adoption of tho report 1
it was agreed to.

Hence thov ignore tho fratornal rela-

tho lowly, it is in a patronizing sort of

no valuo, in peoplo who cannot push
meir way in tne woriu, or uciier ineir

whom they tipport, nor lovo those
whom they ore helping to make love

good, but in spiloof tbo good such peo

regarded by us as sufficient, not alone
to save them Irom contempt, but to
