Colonel Morrison Swoops Down on the Convention and Speedily CAPTURES IT FOR CLEVELAND. A Ealid Free Trade Speech by the Chair man, but He Is Loudly CALLED TO TIME BY THE DELEGATES MEW ADVERTISEMENTS. STEEL FENCE PICKETS SPRiXGFiELD,lLl,April27. It was2:30 o'clock when Chairman Phelps, of the State Central Committee, called the Illinois State Democratic Convention to order. The di wne blessing having been invoked by Chaplain Taylor, of Springfield, Mr. Phelps congratulated the convention on the aus picious omen under which it had been as sembled, saying: To-day for the fim time for a quarter of a century yon meet within the confines of a Democratic State. Applause ) .For nearly threo quarters of a centurv you have been In irli.it to anybodv hut Democrats would have seemed a hopeless minority. But a few rears asro there was a Republican mi- Joiity of 01 cr 50,000 votes, while to-day that prcnt pirty, fallen fiom its hlh estate, ttan(ls a mere forlorn hopo, intrenched amid Its plunder and corruption, awaiting and expecting its final overthrow, and we will en cavor to see that in this respect it meets with no disappointment. I congratulate you also that this proud Commonwealth of Illinois has to-day, for tlie first time in over n quarter of a century, the honor of being represented in the Senate of the United States by one entirely worthy to wear the toga 01 n Senator our proud and trusted lcider, and distinguished and patriotic sol dier and statesman. General John M. Pal mer. Enthusiastic cheeis and applause. Rabid Free Trade Speech Next. He then introduced as temporary chair man of the convention Hon. James K. Will iams. Congressman Williams speech was largely devoted to the tariff He bitterly denounced the McKinlev bill, against which, he said, the people of the country had pro nounced the verdict "guilty" in 1890. He added: We are here to record In our platform that verdict ith all the emphasis with which i; n as rendered. The patriotic work or tariff j oform, so plainly and so bravely outlined in 2ssS by that living idol of Democracy, Grover Cleveland, is still unfinished, and will con tinue so until every bmden of unjust taxa tion shall be removed fiom the shoulders of our people. Congressman Williams then denounced the McKinlev tariff as outrageously dis criminating in favor of individuals and corporations who had contributed liberally to the Republican campaign fund. He said that McKinley's prediction that the in- creased duty on woolen goods would pro hibit the importation of such goods to a large extent, and reduce the revenues from that source, had been confirmed by the re sults, as the Government had received Jicarly ?3,000,000 less revenue on woolens in 3891 than 1890, "thus bringing less woolen foods into the country and less revenues uto the treasury, but more protection into the pockets of the manufacturers. If the Government is to support one class of our itizens in this way," he continued, "why lot support all? And when that happy jay arrives when the Government shall lupport all the people, who will support fie Government?" Cheers for Cleveland and Palmer. As the Palmer men had applauded the r ention of their leader's came in the speech ef Mr. Phelps, so the Cleveland forces Cheered to the echo the name of the ex President, and paid a glowing tribute to his tariff policy, But as Chairman Williams' speech began to grow long the delegates began to grow weary, and interrupted the Chairman with trequent cries of Time! time!" The Chairman believing these in terruptions to be inspired by the reports that he was a Clveland man and opposed to instructions for Palmer, remarked in the course of his speech: "I am not here in the interest of an v candidate, but in the interest cf Democratic principles." Enthusiastic applause followed this announcement, and cries from the gallery of "Timel Time!" At the conclusion of Mr. Williams' speech the announcement was made of State Committeeman, Presidental electors sod district delegates to the .National Con vention at Chicago. The various Conven tion Committees were appointed, and quick ly following the announcement of the committees the Palmer men gained the first wctory of the day by the adoption of a mo tion to refer all resolutions to the Commit tee on Resolutions without debate, thus preventing the reading of any extravagant Cleveland resolution in the convention. Principal Points ofthe Platform. A prolonged squabble then followed over a motion lor a temporary adjournment, the Altgeld forces fighting for a one day's ses sion and those opposing for a two days' ses sion. The Altgeld resolution finally car ried, and the convention adjourned to reas semble at 4:30 in the afternoon. Immediately after the meeting of the Various Congressional delegations and the Selection of committeemen, the Committee cm Resolutions met and began the prepara tion of the platform. The material points v ere quickly agreed upon. Tue McKinley tarifl law was denounced and the tariff planks of the Democratic plat form of 1885 and 18S8 reaffirmed. The financial plank declares for a gold and silver standard, the establishment of a currency that will be convertible with out loss to the holder, and the fixing of a ratio by an international monetary confer ence, so that parity may be maintained and all mints thrown open to free coinage. A declaration is made in favor of electing Senators by popular vote, and unrelenting rar on trusts and combines designed to de grade wage earners is proclaimed. The platform denounces the State compulsory education law by theRepubhcanLegislature. A. E. Stevenson, C. E. Crafts, B. T. Cable, 2f. E Worthington.A. Green, A. Walter "Watson, John A. King and A Chase were elected delagates at large. The State Ticket Named. Senator O'Connor placed in nomination for Governor John P. Altgeld, of Chicago, as a candidate who would appeal to the great mass ot laboring men; a man who "is pre-eminently a self-made man;" his courage and patriotism were manifested at the early age oi 16 by his enlistment as a private in the Union army; upon the bench a fearless, honest Judge, and who, as a businessman and financier, nas proven his ability by his Success." A. D. Webber seconded Altgeld's nomi nation as a candidate whom the Germans w ould recomize as the deliverer from the jnost tyrannical infringement upon their rights as German-American citizens and as Democrats. General John C Black was then put in nomination. Altgeld was elected the can didate for Governor on the first ballot. David Gore, was nominated for Auditor of State, and Joseph B. Gill for Lieutenant Governor, by acclamation, as was also "W. 31. Heinrichsen, for Secretary of State. John C Black and Andrew J. Hunter were also nominated for Congressmen at Large by acclamation. By noon to-day everybody saw that Colonel William R. Morrison and the other adherents of the ex-President were going to run the convention. The Chicago delegates came here with a number of pie-crust prom ises of adherence to Palmer, not a few of them declaring for almost anybodv to beat Clevelaud. Under the skillful anj poten tial manipulation of Colonel Monpon and his lieutenants, however, their minds soon underwent a change, and the result was that they were soon captured for the idol of the Mugwumps. The convention adjourned shortly after 3.1 o'clock, having instructed the delegates to vote as a unit, and to present Palmer if the candidate is to be a Western man. It also indorsed Cleveland's administration, however, which is regarded as counter balancing the Palmer instructions.
