j " Thei'Iatrernu
&v ' Tbfl committee en resolutions at Clil-
yewteh made along dellvcrance after
leaff consideration, but tne thlnga tliat
re Mid bte worth Uie words and tlme
ueetl in saying them. It Is drawn tip In
an iinuHiial way, for a conventlon plnt plnt
fernt and the chiinge Is at least ngroca ngreca ngroca
bie for the novelty. Jtrevlty haa strong
advantages te recommend its employ
ment for such utterances, the chief nue
being that the issues made are mere
vldldly defined and readily caught. Hut
they may net nlwnys boas clearly dellncd
in a few words as In many ; and in the
Chicago deliverance the position of the
Democratic party is very pl.ilnly marked,
and no one who reads it Intelligently can
fall te understand it. General Butler,
itistrue, in socking te amend it, do de
cJareti;that Its meaning was obscure ujen
the tariff issiie, but he cited nothing in
proof ave that the committee hint du
liberated thirty-six hours in making It,
and he thought that if they could net
sooner find out what they wanted te s.iy,
hla constitueats would be u leug time in
discovering what they meant tn say.
But it was smarter than it was wlse te
say this. The committee's Ien-' dellbera
lien ought te have enabled them te find
out distinctly what they wanted te say,
and te say it accurately ; and this is just
what they did. The tariff declaration,
agreed upon by the extremes of thought
in the parly, and only objected te by
Butler, shows that when the two parties
get together with a sincere desire te
harmonize their differences, it could be
done. Iu truth they discovered that
they differed very little. They agreed
upon the abstract truth of the free trade
policy ; and they agreed upon the no
cesslty existing te protect existing home
manufacturers. Therefore they agreed
that the Democratic party was net in
favor of a tariff for rovenuo only, but
that it wanted a tarllT under which
American labor nan compete success
fully with foreign labor, and th.it will
be ample te cover any increased cost of
production which may exist tti censu
quonce of the higher rate of wages pre
vailing in this country ; aud wall this
exception, federal taxation shall be ex
clusively for public purposes.
That iu au easily comprehended
declaration. It teems plain enough fur
any one te understand, and sensible
enough for every oue te agree te. Free
traders mid protectionists have been
wildly lighting one another en an
abstraction. When they really come te
consider what wise statesmanship de
rounds, under our present situation,
they see clearly that our Industries can
net be suffocated under the free com
petition of foreign cheap labor, and that
duties must be laid for the protection of
home manufactures until the home
cost of production falls te the level of
the foreign cost ; after which they
can be left te lleat without a cork jacket,
and federal taxation can be laid exclu
sively for public purposes, and .iliall net
exceed the needs of the government
economically administered. It is as we
have suggested, a very surprising thing
that this sensible adjustment of imagln
ary differences of opinion was net sooner
made, nud that last winter the part)
wae thrown into a convulsion that
caused people te predict its rupture by the
disagreement of the very men In
their places as members of Congress
who have agreed as members of the com
mittce en resolutions in the national
convention. Morrison and Converse
represented the two seeming antipodes
of opinion in Congress, and in the con
vention came te the most harmonious
agreement. In Cengrehs, Morrison
would hear te ue modification of his bill,
am it is new shown that pure stubborn
ness was at the bottom of the congress
men's difference. Eaten, of Connect
cut, always sensible, was ready te show
their felly te the fuctiens, but they
refused te listen. It is really charming
te find hew powerful is the medicine of
harmony, prescribed by a national con
vention te perspiring aud aspiring
statesmen.
The Unit ICuIe.
Speaker Carlisle said in Chicago that
Mr. Kelly was entirely right in Ids
position upon the unit rule, aud gave
very clear and convincing reasons for ids
opinion. They are such as we have
always entertalned and expressed, de
nying te a convention the right te take
from ft delegate the vote which his con
Btltueuts sent him te cast. We de net
underBtaud what function a member of
a minority in a delegation lias In a con
ventien If he cannot vote. He might as
well go home. Ir he does that.he possibly
may prevent hisvote being cast for him,
as he could hardly be deemed te be voting
if he was net present. Still, if a delega
tion chairman is given the right te vote
for a delegate against his pretest, he
might be given a right te vote for him
in liia absence. A convention has the
power te de anything. It might send al
the delegates home and let the chairmen
light it out. Or it might appoint a trial
of single combat te declde upon the can can
didate. But that would net make it
right. Might la net right. "V7e consider
that the "New Yerk minority were very
badly used, nud their cloarest rights
were trampled upon iu denyiug them
the right te vete as they pleased,
referring them te their state for au ac
wum or uieir siewarustup ; just as our
delegare from this district, Ben DaviB,
yiii coma uack te us 'te account
for his failure te vete for Itandall. We
Wileve in the Independence of delegates.
even when they vete ngalnst the wishes
or uieir constituents. They don't often
de it, and when they de, they wish
mu iiuuu t. we Biiau never get
ever me uisguBt with which we were
Inspired for the unit rule when a mem.
berpf the. minority of the delegation
from our state In 18(iS at New Yerk,
wnen our vote was thrown away for
ballet after ballet upon Asa Packer, who
had no earthly chance of u nomination
and whelutd no quallflcutieua- for the
office ; and we have evor aince believed
with Speaker Carlisle that :
A national oenvoutlon cau only recog
nize the Individuals whose names are ou
the lint icperted by the oeminittco op
credentials. Such en Individual hat a right
te vete in the couvMitlen in he cheeses,
'1 he only thing llie convention can de In te
pa upon his orcdentlals. The unit rule
of the atnte cannot be recognized
properly by the conventlon, because, a Htate
cannot dlotate te n national conventlon.
If, therefore, a dolegato has been inntruatctl
by his Htate te vete with Ida entirn delo
gallon, and after he gets Inte the
oenvoutlon decides net te de he, the
oeiivcntlon must loeeive liis veto, an he In
an accredited delegate nnd he must be
held icspensiblr, net te the convention,
but te h In Htate for nuy violation of the
Instructions which he may have received.
Ir is unfortunate that in congressional
elections the people de net pronounce in
unmistakable tones the names of these
whom they wish te lepresent them. At
every session of Congress the country is
treated te a number of election contests
that might have been with n little care
avoided. A typographical error in the
ticket or some deviation from the regu
lar form of the ballet is made the excuse
for occupying the tlme of Congress that
could be mere profitably devoted toether
considerations. The leniency shown by
Congress towards unsuccessful contest
ants has a tendency te Increase the evil.
On Thursday the tieasury department
Issued warrant for $ 1 1, ") en account of
the salaries and exikmiscs of contestants

Tin; pibsage of the legislative- cxecutie
aud judical appropihtieu bill has i;ivcn
rise te a curious complication. The bill
became a law en July 7, and, as Congress
had extended the appropriations of last
year te cover only tire days of the present
fiscal year, ue appropriations are avaiiable
for July O.and it is Haul that no salaries can
be paid for that day te any emploe of
the governmei.t. ben the appropriations
committeo's work is doue amid all the
rush and bustle of the oleso of the cosmeli
it Is little wonder that there is much
bungling legislation.
Loud MvMir.MLi.r. is an nulisnuu
who has doubtless burned by this time
that the title of lerdhhip does net go far
with New erk "bookmakers." His
lordship lest bets upon herxes at thot'euoy
Island rac.-tt te the amount of I.-jOO,
which he has thus far shown no dispesi
lien te piy. According te the rules of the
Ceuey Island Jockey club, a het made e:i
ene racing day must he bottled, at the
latest, en the next, aud a defaulting mem
ber is cipjsed te expulsion from the track.
It will remain a mystery hew the titled
gambler obtained credit from the hard,
headed, oleso lined "book-makers" for
Kuah a large sum.
Tin majesty of the law is in future te
intervene between the pawnbroker and
his victim. Hitherto it has been tbe
pawnbroker's practice in New Yerk te hell
annually whatever pledges weie in his
bauds iu default of interest ou the leaus
made by him, and he has auneuueed sucli
sales iu eurt nepaper advertisements.
Chief Justice MeAdam. of New York.new
doeulf-8 that the custom was in violation
of law. and that it is iucumbent ou pawn
orekors te dosenbo the ceeds thev nrotwKe
te seli at auction, else the pledj-crH will
net have received prener actual or eon
Htruotlve notice, aud will net he bound by
the sale. 1 his construction of the l.iw in
favor of the distressed should meet with
the hearty ondersomout of all friends of
humanity.

galheiiug el Hpeotaters. Kvery ne.it within
(he buildliir, utside of the Hoetleu
aligned te the delegates and their niter
nates was lllled half au hour before the
time te which adjournment was taken. An
the delegates catue in and promlueut men
among them were recognized they reu
greeted with applause. Meanwhile pepu
Jar airs were performed by a band
of music A far intenser feeling of
Interest and oxeltomont was vibrat
ing iu the atmosphere than has
becu appareut nt any preceding so-'slen,
for It has beeu a matter of general elxtir
vatien among these who have attended
both the Republican convention and tha
DeinocratteMiat thore has beeu a striking
contrast In'tween the enthusiasm maul
festcd iu the ene and the abeetioe of It iu
the ether. Neuu e( the prominent caudl
dates seem te be capable of oxeitlni; dele
gates or rankers te unythiug like the
doitree tint Blaiue aud sotue et his rivals
for the lt-publicau nomination did in this
same hall tle weeks Alie.
At esi'i the convention wiih called te
enler nud a resolution whs ellered by Mr.
Henry, of Mississippi, expressing the
regret nnd lututiHe admiration of the con
vention ut reading the statemau-llke,
patriotic letter of Samuel .1. Tildeii, in
which he made known the nicrpeweriug
and providential ncccsMty which con
strained linn te iliTliuti the ti'imiuatieu te

expreslug regret that the uatieu has beeu
deprived ut the lefty patriotism aud
splendid executive and admlutstiatlve
ability of Mr. Tildeu, nud appointing a
committee te convey these benUmrnts te
that geutlemau. Adopted.
Ou motion of Mr. Cleveland, of New
Jersey, it was ordered that the states aud
territories be new callid for the names of
memliersef the national Democratic com
mittee.
A report was made by the committee ou
resolutions iu favor of the preposition te
permit the national committee te choeo a
chairman outside of its own members. The
report was adopted.
A delegate from Arkaut.js offered a
riMilutieu abrogating ud disoeiitiuuiui;
iu future the two thirds rule iu the neuu
nation of cindidntcs for president and
vice piesnlent. .Mr. Cochran, of New
Yerk, moved te lay the motion ou the
table, charaetcmiui; it as a revolutionary
preposition.
Sir Abbett, of New Jersey, said it was
absurd fur this oenvoutlon te attempt te
make rules for the next conventlon and he
moved te postpeuo the resolution indefi
nitely (Cochran withdrawing his motion).
The question was taken aud the me. ion
te postpone indtliuitely was carried.

At 0 p. m. Mr. Morrison, of III , chair
man of the ommittee ou resolutions,
stepped te the platform te present the re
port el that committee. His appearance
was greeted with cheers. The platform
was read by oue of the reading clerks, as
fellows .
The Democratic party et the Union,
through its representatives iu uattecal
convention assembled, recognize that as
tbe uatieu grows elder new issues are born
of time and progress, and old issues par
ish. But the fuudamctital principles of
iue womecricy, approved by the tiuited
voice of the p.ople, reraain, and will ever
remain, as the best aud only security for
the continuance of free government. The
preservation of personal rights, the
equality of all citizens before the law,
the reserved rights of the states
aud the supremacy of the Federal gov
ernment within the limits of the censtitu
tieu will ever form tbe true b.-uis of our
liberties and ciu never be surrendered
without destroying that balauce et riuhta
and powers which enables a continent te
he doveloped in peace, nnd social order te
be maintained by means of local Helf-
Cevernmeut ; but it is mdispensable for
tun practical operatieu and enforcement
of thehe fundamental principles that the
government sheu'd net always be con
trolled by ene political power. Frequent
change of administration is as necessary
as ceustaut recurrence te the popular will
Otherwise abuses grew, aud the gevern
nient, Instead of being carried ou for the
general welfare, becomes au instrumen
tality for imposing heavy buidens en tbe
many who are governed for the banellt of
the few who gevern. Public- Bervants
thus become arbitrary rulflrs. This is uew
the condition of the country hence a
change Is demanded.
Ittputillctii KrcblCMiiriMiil rjwer
The Ujpublican party, se far as princi
ple is concerned, is a romiumceuco. In
practice, it is uu organization for ourioh eurioh ourieh
nig tbuse who control ita machinery. The
frauds uud jobbery which have been
brought te light m every dopartraent of
the govemment are sutllcieiit te have
called for reform within the Republican
party ; yet thofe in authority, made reck
less by the long posseaslou of jiower, have
succumbed te its corrupting intlucuce aud
have placed iu nomination a ticket agaiust
which the independent portion of the
party are in open revolt, Therofero a
change is demanded ; such n change was
alike necessary iu 1870, but thu will
et the pcople was thou deteatcd by a
fraud which can never be forgetteu nor
condoned. Again in 18S0 the change de
manded by the people was defeated by the
lavish use of money contributed by uu-
furupuieus oeniruciors ami shameless job
hers who had bargained for unlawful
profits or for high ofllce. The Republican
party during its legal, its stolen and ita
bought tenures of power has steadily de
c.ijed in moral oharaeter aud political
oapaeity. Its platform premises are new
a list et its pist failures It demands the
restoration of our navy; it baa squaudored
hundred of millions te create a uavy that
does net exist. It calls upon Ceugresa te
romevo the burdens under which Ameri
can shipping has been depressed; it im
posed nud has continued these burdens.
It professea the policy of reserving the
public lauds for small holdings by
tietual settlers; it has given away the
people's herltaue, till uew a few railroads
and ueu-resideut altera, Individual nud
oerfiorato, possess a larger area than that
of all our farina betweeu the two seas. It
professca a proferenco for free institutions ;
it ergautzed and tried te logalize u oeutrol
of atate elections by fedcral troops. It
prolessea a doslre te olevato labor ; it haa
subjeoted American workiugrneu te the
competition of convlet nud imported con.
traet labor. It professoa gratitude te all
who wnre disabled or dleJ In the war,
leaving widows and orphans ; It left te a
Dornecratlo Heuso of Representatives tha

the foundation of this gou'rnment taxes
collected nt the custom house have beeu
the ohiel source of federal revenue. Such
they must continue te be. Moreover,
many industries have ceme te rely upon
legislation ler successful continuance, se
that auy change of law must be at every
step regardful of the labor and capital thus
iuvelved. The process of reform must be
subject hi the execution te this plain
dictate of lustiee. All tixttieu shall be
limited te the requirements of economical
government,
The ueeessary reduction in taxation cau
and must be effected without depriving
American labor of the ability te compete
successfully with foreign lab'ir, and with
out imposing lower rates of duty than will
be ample te cover any iuoreised cost of
production which nuy oust iu consequence
of the higher rate of wages prevailing iu
this country. JMitHoient revenue te pay

sions, interest and principal of the public
debt, can be get, under our preseut sys

therofero denounce the abuses of the ex

limitations, we demand that federal taxi

The system of direc: taxitteu known a
the " Internal Rivenue'' is a war tax, and
he long as the law continues the money
derived therefrem should be sacredly de
voted te the relief of the pjople from the
remaining burdens of the war, and be
made a fund te defray the expanses of the
oare and comfort of worthy soldiers, dis

republic, aud for the paymeut of such
poustens as Ceugresa may from time te

the sailors having been already provided,
aud any surplus should be paid into the
treasury.
mil Hie Daniucmt-jr Pitvnri.
We favor an Americau continental
policy, based upon mere intimate oomuior eomuior oemuior
cial and pjlitie.il relations with the fifteen
sisters republics of North, Central and
Seuth America, hut entangl.ng alhancea
with none.
We bdhove in honest niouey. the ireld
aud ailver coinage of the constitution
and a circulating medium convertible
Inte such money without less. As
sorting the equality of all men bofero tbe
law.
We held that it is the duty of the gev
ernment in ita dealings with the neoule
te inute out equal and exact justice te
all eitizaua el whatever nativity,
race, color or persuasion, religious or
political.
We bolievo in a Ireo ballet and n fair
count, and we recall te the momerv of the
poeplo the neble strug(,le of the Democrats
iu tbe Forty firth and Ferth-aixth Cen
grosses by which a reluctant Republican
opposition wea compelled te assent te
legislation making everywhere illegal the
prcseuce of troops at the polls, as the
conclusive proof that a Democratic
administration will prcaarve liberty with
order.
The solcetiou of federal officers for the
territories aheuld be restricted te citizeus
previously resident therein.
We oppose sumptuary lawa whleh vex
the citizen and interfere with individual
liberty ; we favor honest civil service re
forms and the corapeusatiou of all United
States officers by fixed salaries ; tbe
separation of church aud auto aud the
diffusion of free eduoatieu by common
schools, se that overy child tn the land may
be taught the righta aud dutiea of citizen
shin. While we favor all legislation which will
tend te the equitable distribution of
property te the prevention of monopoly
and te the strict enforcement of individual
rights against corporate abuses, we held
that the welfare et seciety depends upon n
scrupulous regard for the rights of prep
ertv as defined by law.
We bolievo that labor is best rewarded
w here it la frecat and meat enlightened.
It aheuld therofero be festered aud
oherlshcd. We favor the ropeal of nil
lawa restricting the frce notion of labor,
aud the enaotment of lawa by which labor
organizations may be incorporated, and
all eiicli legislation as will tend te oulighten
the peeple as te the true relation of capital
and labor.
We bolievo that the public lauds ought,
us far as possible, te be kept as homesteads
for actual settlers : that all uuoarned lauds
heretofore improvidently granted te rail
road corporations by the action of the
Republlcan party aheuld boreatorod te tbe
public domain, and that no mero grants of
laud shall be made te corporations or be
