mous, Convention Hall, St. Leuis, June 7.
9:15 a. m. The third and closing day of the
national Democrats convention openod up
with the most torrid temperature of tbe
week. The sun wan en the rampage and
Ha red het rajs poured In through the glass
reef of the exposition with a vigor that
boded something mere than discomfort te
these who were about te participate In the
proceedings of the day. Outside of the hall
tbe scenes were hardly as exciting aB
en tbe previous day, although there
was no lack of m.U and bustle.
Be far, however, as the visitors were con
cerned the interest was maintained at tbe
highest pitch, and from tbe opening et the
doers at bait-past eight there was a steady
inflow et holders of complimentary tickets.
Befere another hour had passed the boxes,
balconies and galleries were a solid mass
of men and women. The women were out
lu even (creator ferce than en any et the
preceding days, and from the stage half
way down the hall tbe boxes en eltber aide"
presented au unbroken line of brilliant
costumes and equally attractive specimens
of the mllllneru art. HUH tbe orewd kept
pouting In, and for half an hour before the
lime appointed for the delegates te reas reas
semble there did net appear te be a vacant
feet of space in tbe ipectaters' quarters,
and the upper portions and rear of the great
ball were a sea of expectant laces and wav
ing fane, whllojhe clatter of ten thousand
tongues rose and fell llke the rear et the
arf. The delegatca wero prompt in assem
bling. Mayer A. A. Ames, of Minneapo
lis, stalked in solitary and nipjostle te as
sist in conferring upon the Old Keicua an
honor whleh np te a few days age be bad
hoped might Btrlke In his own direction.
Tee Missouri delegation entered in a body
fifteen minutes ahead of time, and the
Ohleans followed clese at their heels.
As seen 89 they bail taken their
.cats they heisted tbe red bandanna en the
top of their banner and tbe throng above
gave the Urst cheer of the mernlnp. Then
In turn Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia,
West Virginia, Oregon, California and
Pennsylvania followed suit, and each were
recognized with a shout and a cheer.
Missouri was Blew In putting up the red
emblem, but when It dually did se, there
was a storm of eheers and a waving of
handkerchiefs In all portions et the hall.
This encouraged Malno and Illinois and
they, tee, felt Inte line. Meanwhile a geed
many of tbe delegate? had diverted them
selves of coats and vests and lu seme In
stances of neckties and cellars and
were plying their fans with all the
vigor that remained in them, uenry
Watterson was among tbe iirst of
tbe distinguished visitors te arrlve and
probably interpreting the cheers which
were lavished upon htm as a cordial recog
nition of his let night's vlotery, he smiled
and bowed te the right and left. Daniel
Dougherty and Jehn K. Fellows oame
down tbe aisle arm In arm and their receg
nitien was enthusiastic. The urst act el tbe
Indiana delegation was te heist a gray
bat with streamers en tbe same color. The
audience greeted their favorites as they
atrolled in, with burns of applause and It
was evident that se far as tbe day could be
made mere entbUBlastle and Inspiring than
ether days by the efforts of tbe audience,
they intended te contribute te that end in
dustriously and with sincerity.
Upen the convention being called te
order at 1025, prayer was offered by Rev.
Dr. flrank.
The chair announced that tbe committee
en resolutions was ready te report, and
Chairman Cellins said : " 1 present Mr.
Watteraen, of Kentucky. "
The Kentucky editor took his rlaeeat the
right et the chairman, waved his hand and
said : ' These resolutions have been
agreed upon unanimously. " He was
lustily cheered as he bad been
by the simple announcement of his
name. Clerk Pettlt, in a volce that
everybody could bear, read the platform
Interrupted new and thou by respectful but
Irrepressible applause.
The platform Is as fellows :
' TUtTl'r.J.rFOR-1.
Jt It Adopted Uoaulineuily Keatilriuatlen or
tbat of 188 and Kednrwnieut el tbe
l'rMlil.t Tariff 1U-
firu Vie.
Tbe Democratic party el the United States
4n national convention aastmbusd, renews
the iledge of lit fidelity te Dtmocratle tajth
nd reefi-raea the platform adopted by Its
representative la tbe convention of lgSI
and endorsee the views expressed by Preel
dent Clevetaad in hie last annual message
te Congress as the correct Interpretation of
that platform upon the question et tariff re
duction ; end also endorses the c Aorta of
enr Democratic Representatives In Congress
te secure s reduotlen of excessive taxation.
Chief among Its principles of party faith
arethe maintenance of an Indissoluble union
et free and Indestructible elates new about
te enter upon its second oenturyef unex
ampled progress and renown ; devotion te
a plan of government regulated by a writ
ten constitution strictly specifying every
granted power and expressly reserving te
tbe states or people the entire nngranted
residue of power j the encouragement of a
Jealous popular vigilance, directed te all
who have been chosen for brief terms te
enact and execute the laws and are charged
with tbe dutv of preserving peace, ensuring
equality and establishing Justice. The
Democratic party welcome any exaeting
scrutiny of tbe administration or the ex
ecutive pewer which four years age was
committed te their trust in the election of
Grevor Cleveland, preslnent of the United
States, and It challenges the meat searching
Inquiry concerning its fidelity and devo
tion te the nledeea which then invited the
suffrages of the people. During a meat criti
cal period of our financial affairs resulting
from orertaxatlon. the anomalous condi
tion et our curreney and a publle debt un
matured, It has by tbe adoption of a wlee
and conservative course net only averted
disaster, but greatly promoted the pros
perity of the people.
It has reversed the Improvident and un
wise polley of the Republican party touch
ing the publle domain, and has reclaimed
from corporations and syndicates alien and
domestic and restored te the people nearly
one hundred millions acres et valuable land
te be sacredly held as homesteads ter our
citizens.
While carefully guarding the Interest of
tbe taxpayers and conforming strictly te
the principles et Justice and equity it has
paid out mere for pensions and beuntlru te
the soldiers Bnd sailors of the republic, than
was ever paid befere during an equal period.
REVIVING TIIK NAVr.
By intelligent management and a Judlo Judle Judlo
leus and economical expenditure of the
publle money, It has set en feet the recon
struction of the Amerlcan navy upon a sys
tem wmen lermus me recurrence or scan
dal and Insures successful result.
It has adopted and consistently pursued
a firm and prudent foreign policy preserv
ing peace with all nations, whlle "scrupu
lously maintaining the rights and Interests
of our government and peeple at home and
abroad. Tbe exclusion from our shores et
Chinese laborers has been effectually se
cured under the previsions et a treaty the
operation of which baa been postponed by
tbe action of a Republican majority in the
Senate.
Honest reform In the civil service has
been Inaugurated and maintained by Presi
dent Cleveland and he has brought tbe
publle service te tbe highest standard of
efficiency, net only by rule and precept,
b ut by tbe example et his own untiring and
unselfish administration of publle affaire.
In every braneh and department of tbe
government under Democratic control, tbe
rights and welfare of all tbe people have
been guarded and defended ; every publle
interest has been protected, and tbe equality
et all our citizens before the law without re
gard te ia.oer color has been steadily main
tained. Upen its record thus exhibited, and upon
a pledge or a continuance te the people of
the benefits of geed government, the na
tional Democraey Invokes a renewal et
popular trust by the re-election of a cblef
magistrate, who hag been faithful, able and
prudent They Invoke In addition te that
trust by the transfer te the Democracy of
tbe entire legislative power.
HEFORM IN TAXATION.
The Republican party controlling tbe
Senate and resisting in both Houses or Cen
gress a reformation of unjust and unequal
tax laws, which have outlasted the necessi
ties of war, and are new undermining the
abundance et a long peace, deny te tbe
poeplo equality before tbe law and tbe fair
ness and the Justice which are their right.
Thus the cry et American labor for a better
Bbare of the rewards of Industry Is stilled
with false pretenses, enterprise Is fettered
and bound down te borne markets, capital
Is disturbed with doubt and unequal, un
just laws can neither be properly amended
nor repeaieu.
Tbe Democratic party will contlnue with
all tbe pewer confided te It te struggle te
reform these laws In accordance with the
C ledges of its last platform endorsed at the
allot box by tbe suffrages of the people.
Of tbe industrious freemen et our land an
Immense majority, including every tiller
of the soil, gain no advantage from exces
sive tax laws ; but the price of nearly every
thing tbey buy is increased by tbe favorit
ism of an unequal system of tax legislation.
All unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
tion. It is repugnant te tbe creed et De De De
mocreoy that by isuch taxation the cost of
necessaries et life should be unjustly In
creased te all our people. Judged by Dem
ocratic principles, the interests of the peo
ple are betrayed when by unnecessary taxa
tion, trusts and combinations are permitted
and festered which will unduly enrich tbe
few that oemblno te rob our eltlzens by de
priving them of the benefit of natural com
petition. Kvery Democratic rule of gov
ernmental action Is violated when, through
unnecessary taxation, a vast sum of money
far beyond tbe needa et an economical ad
ministration is drawn from tbe people and
tbe channela of trade, and accumulated aa
a demoralizing surplus la the national
treasury.
OPPOSED TO USELESS TAXATION.
'The money new lying Idle In tbe federal
treasury resulting from superfluous taxation
amounts te mero than $125,000,000 and the
surplus collected 'la reaching tbe Bum et
mere than I CO, 000, 000 annually. Debauched
by this lmmonae temptation tbe remedy
of tbe Republican party Is te meet and ex
haust It by extravagant taxation. The
Demoeratlo remedy is te onferco fru
gality In publle expenditures, and
abolish unnecessary taxation. Our estab
lished domestic Industrie and onterprlses
should net and need net be oudangerod by
a reduction and correction of tbe burdeua
of taxation. On the contrary, a fair and
careful revision el our tax laws, with due
allowance for the difference between the
wages of American and foreign labor, must
permit and enceurage every branch or
Industry and onterpnse by giving them
assurance of an extended market and
steidy end continuous operation in tbe
Interest of Amerlcan labor, which
Bheuld in no event be neglected. The re
vision of our tax laws contemplated by the
Democratic party is te promote tbe advan
tage of sueh labor by cheapening tbe coat et
tbe necessarlea of life In the home .t every
workingman, and at the eame time secur
ing te him steady and remunerative em
pleyment.
Upen this question of tariff reform, se
closely concerning every phase or our
national Ufe and upon every quostlen In
volved In thetproblem of geed govern
ment, the Democratic party submits lis
principles and professions te the Intelligent
suffrages et tbe American people
AUOl'TKU UNANIMOUSLY.
Iteming Cheers Fellow ihe Acceptance or tbe
Declaration of tbe Party's t'rlnrlples.
Cel. Henry Watteraen Bpoke for a few
minutes In a most telling and deliberate
manner. Every sentence he uttered seemed
te be tbe signal for renewed applause. He
aald tbat here was a platform upon which
Democrats could stand without feeling that
tbey were away from home. (Cheera ) It
was a declaration or principles te which
Democrats could subsenbe without looking
around the corner. (Cheera.) It embodied
a statement or facts incontrovertible. It
delecallred the course of rererm and gave
it a language which might be spoken alike
in New Jersey and Iowa, in Massachusetts
and in Texas, Its face was set In the right
direction, and its eyes looked upan tbe ris
ing and net the totting sun.
Mr. Watteraen coneluded amid great ap
plause and Introduced Senater German,
who was heartily received. He tald that
four years ego at Chicago tbe Democratic
party In Its declaration of principles prom,
lsed that If Intrusted with power tbat ex
travagance In expenditures should be re
duced, that economy should prevail, that
the war taxet should b zadueed, and that
n that reduotlen the capital Invested In
enterprises (Here the senator was Inter
rupted by a commotion In the body of the
hall. Nearly everybody get en bis feetand
ter a few mementa there was great disorder.
Somebody shouted " tight 1" and the peo
ple behind began te surge te the front.
Then a man In tbe gallery shouted " Are I"
and the ladles In the boxes sprang te their
feet In alarm. Fortunately at this moment
the president bad preseno.ef mind enough
e touch the electric bell en his desk and
tbe band ttruck np a lively tuna This al
layed tbe exeltemenf, which bad been
caused by a man In the visitors' section
striking another for stepping en his tees,
and In a few moments tbe cenvcntlgn was
onee mere at ease. )
(Senater German, continuing, aald that
all the pledges made In the Chicago plat
form bad been earrled out. When Senater
German had oeneluded, Ccl. Watteraen
moved the adoption of the report, and
upon this moved tbe previous question.
It was ordered and tbe platform was
unanimously adopted with reusing eheers.
Then Mr, Watteraen announced that tbe
committee bad approved and requested tbe
passage without discussion et three resoln - reseln -
tlens. The first was read by Hen. W. L.
Scott, and demanded the immediate pas pas
sage et the bill new pending m the Heuse
of Representatives ter th3 reduction of the
revenue.
Cheer alter eheer esma from tbe audi
ence and they were renewed when the res res res
olutlen was unanimously adopted.
After this, Hen. F. H. Lehman, of Iowa,
received an ovation when he mounted the
platform te submit a resolution declaring
that tbe territories of Dakota, Washington,
Mentana and New Mexico were entitled te
admission te the Union as states, condemn
ing the aotlen of the party In excluding
them. Thla resolution also went through
with enthusiasm.
Oev.Abbett next mounted tbe steps of the
platform, and after the applause which
greeted his appearance had subsided, he
read the resolution of sympathy with tbe
Irish.
Leng continued applause wai given tbe
names et Parr ell and Gladstone, and the
reference te Heme Rule, and the resolution j
was quickly passed.
from his seat en tbe fleer, O. W. Raker,
of Ohie, secured unanimous consent for
the reading of a resolution or respect te the
memory of ex-Vice President Uendrleks,
paying trlbule te his statesmanship, patri
otism and fidelity, and tendering te bis
widow the affectionate respect and sym
pathy of tbe Demoercy of tbe United
States-.
The resolution was adepted by a rising
vote and when the delegales wero seated,
tbe chair announced that there was a slight
mistake In the statement that the oommlt eommlt oemmlt
too en platform was unanimous in Its agree
ment. Mr. Cooper, of New Yerk, he said
objected te a part of it. A murmer of sur
prise went through the ball at this state
ment And new the convention began te get
down te the most Important business of the
day. A motion wan made by Llent
Governer Whlte, et California, that the roll
should be called for the nomination cf
candidates for tbe vloe presidency. It was
se ordered, and tbe clerk lest no time In
getting te work. There waa no response
te the call until California waa reached.
There was a pause followed by alight oheer eheer
ing as Senater Tarpey left his delegation
and ster ped upon tbe platform.

He said :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: This is
a proud and pleasant duty whleh through
tbe kindness et my friends I have been
chesen te perform and 1 am truly graleful
te my as&oelstcs who have se honored me.
I fear tbat it was kindness nlone and net
ability tbat prompted my selection from
among thu many eloquent gentlemen who
are members of tbe Callfernlan delegation.
But, sirs, what I lack in oratorical ability
I, In seme small measure, compensate for
in my enthusiasm in the undertaking and,
feeling as 1 de tbat the meat eloquent must
fall short of doleg full Justice te tbe gentle
man whom 1 am here te nominate, 1 have
accepted the trust with the mental reser
vation tbat If nothing else 1 am at least
earnest In what I say and filled with ad
miration for him of whom 1 speak.
That I am proud or tbe privilege or ad
dressing yen I acknowledge, but tbat I am
prouder stilt et tbe man whom I shall name
1 will net deny, for I feel, airs, that this
republle holds no superior te tbe Hen,
Allen G. Tburman, of Ohie. Tbe greeting
accorded his name la a well-deserved tri.
bute. Its spontaneity has been nobly
earned. Be assured sueh a grcetlng will
be accorded his name at lta every mentle
throughout this republic, from sea te sea,
and from tbe British line te tbe gulf.
Allen G. Thurman I What an epitome
of American civil hlatery Is embodied In
tbat name ; hla character and ability are
known te every man, woman and child In
the land. Hla public record will be a mere
endurlcc monument te his fame than
temples et stone or brass, ter history will
Inscribe his name among the list of
America's Illustrious eons. Taking his
seat in the United States Senate In ISG'J tbe
Imprint or his genius Is found firmly lui
bedded in the legislation et the country.
Frem his first appearance lu the Senate
until bis retirement lrem tbat body his
voice was always raised in behalf et the
people and In defense et their rights.
A CLEAN l'UULIO RECORD.
Fer forty years be has been a premt

Large of hearf, large of brain and larger

at your lianua lu the Bonse that he
cannot be defeated before the people. A
man of benevolent heart, manifesting It
sell net only In private life but also as tbe
leading feature of hla official caroer. When
the Paclfie coast was endeavoring te retard
Chlnese Immigration, when It had decided
that national legislation was necessary le
accomplish the desired result, when the
merits of tbe fiiibect wero net understood
cast or tbe Recky Mountains, Allen
G. Tburman, then a senator et tbe
United Statex, was the first te raise
bis voice In defense of theso whose means
of living were endangered and whose
homes were threatened with destruction.
When the great railroad corporations
ovldenced an Intention te evade payment
et their obligations te the government, this
great man prepared that remarkable enact
ment known as theTnurman bill, by which
the offending cotperatlons were obliged te
provide a aiuklng fund for the redemption
or their premisee. During the trying limes
of reconstruction M r. Thurman was the cec
tral figure in the United States Senate In
upholding the dignity and the Integrity or
tbe constitution. Tbe waves et party pas.
alen lashed Inte fury by ill-advised
zealous partisans broke harmless upon bis
leonine front and Bottled back Inte calm
ness by the force of bis logle and tbe power
of his oratory ; a ripe scholar, bis disquisi
tiens upon constitutional laws are master
pieces of reasoning and eloquence, chal
lenging tbe admiration of even his political
opponents. Four years since tbe California
delegation put forward Mr. Thurman as
their candidate for the presidency and
were entbuslastle In pushing his nomina
tion ; butfeur years have but augmented
their reverence and afloctlen for him ; the
patriot of Columbus cannot be allowed te
wither In retirement.
THE PEOPLE WILL ELECT HIM.
His fame la net bit alone ; It is the proud
heritage et the Amerlcan people. Ills
name may be most fittingly coupled with
that et our honored president, Grever
Cieveland. Cleveland and Thurman will
be a tleket absolutely resistless. It will
sweep tbe country with a mighty ruth, a
tidal wave et approval. Against It all oppe.
ittlen will be fruitless. The approval
of Cleveland's administration during
the past four years and endorsement
of his actions, the simplicity, yet
remarkable ability, with whleh he has
administered hla great trust nnder the
most trying circumstances, coupled with
the all-pervading s traction felt for the phil
osopher of Columbus Wilt make Cleveland
and Thurman a war cry te affright tbe po
litical enemy. The enthusiasm which will
be aroused upon Its announcement will be
Inleotleus and, gathering force and volume
day by day, It will before November have
beoeme epidemic That tbe name of Allen
G. Tburman should be cheered te tbe eohe
In this ball la net strange, for It brings tbe
warm bleed of gratitude surging te the
heart at every fireside end the testimonials
which the people will surely pay te hit

will be convincing proof of bis popularity.
Indiana honors Governer Gray by sup

is doing the same for General Blaek ;
Mlehlgan for Mr. Dickinsen ; Wisconsin
for Vilas geed men and true (ash and all
of them, and were It net. for tbe self sacri

POPULAR DEMAND TOR TRURMAN.
Let no mistakes .be made at this time.
Mistakes are crimes. . If you but de your
duty, if you but give the people what they
expect, what they demand, the contest of
parties Instead of Just commencing will be
practlcaUy ended, for the great electoral
and popular majorities which Cleveland
and Thurman will surely reoelve at the
polls will be a revolatten even te ourselves.
As representatives of the Democracy of
the nation we have a dutv te nsrferm. We
must nominate - the man the neenla

but te endorse the popular verdict;
no less will be accepted at your

IILAOK AND (1RAV NAMED,
The mil oil was again proceeded with.
When Colerado wasreaohed Patterson took
the platform te nominate Gen. Black.
There was genorens applause when at the

and belore the man from tbe mines had
gene far he had completely wen the sym
pathies et the audience whleh gave him
tbe heartiest applause tbat anyone had
received during the day. He made a mls mls
take, however, In declarlng tbat when Mo Me
Donald was nominated for the presidency
at Chicago, and the convention seemed
obeut te lese Itself, Gen. Black, llkeagenersl
en tbe field of battle, arrested It In Its
wild rage toward a condition of lunacy
and turned the tlde te Cleveland and tbe
audlence aat still. But he wen them back
again befere be had aald mneh mere, and In
incidental reference te Tburman gave such
indubitable evidence of the speaker's fair
ness tbat he was heartily applauded by
the Callfernlana. Slleuce prevalled while
the epeaker read a letter from General
Black asking for the withdrawal of his
name en the ground that tbe sentiment et
tbe Democracy was for Thurman and there
was loud choerlng when the signature was
reached. In his peroration the epeaker
said : " There la only one reason why we
de net bow in humble submission before

cerely and earnestly If J udge Thurman,

we claim, 1 say, that If In the
province of Ged if He should remove
oue who has already filled out tbe years

States would bocuraed byanotberlngallr."
(Loud and prolonged cheers and hissing.)
He concluded by leaving the cause of Gen.
Black in tbelr hands without further com cem com
ment The roll call waa resumed and a
Connecticut delegate brltlly seconded
Ttiur man's nomination. Then Indiana
was called and the Tall Sycamore
et tbe Wabash get upon the plat
form and tbe enthusiasm waxed het It
was seme tlme before he oeuld proceed.
Describing Indiana as the political battle
ground he conjured up all the states te
demonstrate tbat Indiana after all was tbe
ene doubtful state of Iho utmost Importance
te the Domecraoy. He rehearsed tbe pre
vious political history et Indiana, saying
that no Democratic president bad ever be be bo
fero bt-en Inaugurated tbat had net received
her vote. Frem Menree te Tllden and
Cleveland sbe voted for them all
and wLore was the state that came with a
higher rate for respect and recognition.
Tnts year would be no exception for Grevor
Cleyeland and wboever went en tbe ticket
with him would be elected with the votes of
Indiana or net at all. lie knew there
were certain Influences at work te leave In
lana out of the calculation, but he would say
te these who were sponsors for these In In
Uacinces that whatever tended te Impair
Indiana's power te help would also
destroy the Democralle ascendency.
Here a volce shouted "Oregon" and tbe
speaker responded "Ye, take warning
from Oregon belore it is te late." The
battles they waged in Indians, continued
Senater Voerboos, were unknown In ether
states. Four years age ahe polled 405,000
yetec This year she would poll U0,000
and with that enormous vote tbere waa
simply a plurality between the two great
psrtlea of six or seven thousand. They
could imaglne what tbe shock et battle
was in that state ; hew Important
It was that they should have every
atom et ntrength, personal and political,
that oeuld be brought te It. Gray'a nomi
nation meant the electeral vete of Indiana.
He would challenge the adborents of the
otber candidates te show wbat eleoteral
