"Pitch fork" Tillman declared "the issue is sectional," and that "as South Carolina had led the revolt in ';l,v so she is first to assail the country's honor iu The leaders of the Somerset County Democracy are t-low to commit them selves to the Chicago platform, and a liiiinU r of them have already declared their intention not to vote for Uryan and Sewall. New Jkrsey's depositors in savings banks reach the respectable total of 144 um.nuo dollars. As they handed in the money !n the form of one hundred cent dollars they naturally have a prej udice ajraiiist gttting it leick in fifty Cent dollars. Rohkht H Pattison, too, seems to have a wheel in his head. What other reason can lie assigned for his refusal to let the Pennsylvania delegates with draw his name? Kudorsed as a Sound money man, he apj)eared eager to stand on a Free-silver platform. W.C. Mokkland, the defaulting city solicitor of Pittsburg, entered a plea of guilty when the prosecution against him was called for trial Monday morn ing. His assistant, W. H. House, also accused of misappropriating the city's money, will stand trial. Reports from Chicago are to the elled that Dr. Aniericus Knficld, a pro-dui-t of Somerset county, howled like a Comanche when I Iarrity refused to let him have his vote recorded for Anarchy and Repudiation. We always thought the doctor's whiskers were significant. "No self-respecting sound money Democrat can stand upon the Chicago platform, neither can any man who s.-es clearly the inevitable result of 'the free and unlimited coinage of silver in the ratio of 1 to 1' for one moment give it countenance and support." Comicllsville Courier. Many local Democrats, who, six weeks ago, were hysterical liecause Ma jor McKinley turned a deaf ear to their entreaties for a declaration on the mon ey question, and pointed to his record for an anwer, have swallowed the Free ilver platform, with its additional An archistic and Populistic planks, at a sin gle gulp a sweet morsel to hitherto professed Sound-money nu n. It is given out that Senator Quay has resigned as Chairman of the State(Vm tnittce, and that IX-puty Attorney Gen eral John P. Klkin will be chosen to fill the VHi-aucy. F.Ikin has all the ele ments that go to make a successful po litical organicr, and his selection by the jrciitli-men comix-sing the State ticket will lie approved by the rank and file of the party. "In ori.kk to preserve intact tle American eredit," said (irint when he was President, "let every obligation, unless otherwise stipulated in the con tract, be paid in gold;" and again he said, "if any man attempts to repudi ate this American principle, let him lie driven from jmb'.ie life." The- expres sions of the Old Commander are very jK-rtineut at the present time, and all gord citizens should carefully ponder theliL 'HA! km ax M. A. Hainia, of the Re publican National Committee, on Mon day made public the names of the gen tlemen who have Ihvu selected as the Usi-cutive Committee, aud upon whom w ill devolve the work of tlie campaign for McKinley. The name of Senator iiay is first on the iist, and w hile Mr. Hanua, by virtue of his office, w ill lie Chairman of the Kxecutive Committee, it is generally understood that Mr. iuay will lie its recognised head. The Sen ator is now in Cleveland, having been summoned there for a conference w ith Chairman Hanua. Canmhate Hkyax thinks one term in the Presidential office enough for anyone. As soon as lie liad read the official bulletin U-aring the ue s of his nomination, he took a ienci and wrote the following: To the A a KiiiCAN Provi.e: In order that I may have- no ambition but to discharge the duties of theollice, I dcire to announce that 1 f elected President, I liall, under no circum vtancus be a candidate for reflection. W. J. BRYAN. Ci rover Cleveland said practically the ame thing wlien nominated the first time for the Presidency, and some Dem--ocrate are unkind enough now to say that he sought a fourth nomination, and, by so doing, handed his taity or ganization over to the Populist and Anarch Ists.

' A little chapter in the politiral his tory of Nebraska, says the Philadel phia Record, will show what claim Mr. William J. Rryan lias iijm the 1 H-mocratie party for its support. Last fall he undertook to lead the Silverite and Populist wing of the party in that State to the overthrow of the regular organization; but in the contest the Sound Money Democrat defeated Kry an and his Populist faction by upward of S.000 majority. The Sound Money Democrats therefore, remained in con trol of the irty organization and sent a Sound Money delegation to the Chic ago Convention. Hut what resject for the rights of Democrats could be ex pected from such an assemblage? The Sound Money IVinocrats of Nebraska were flung from their seats to make room for liryan and hi,s gang of Popu lists. As a Populist, not as a Demo crat, was liryan nominated for the Pres idency, and to Populists only should ne look for votes. No Democrat w ho has any resiect for the principles of his party can stand on the Chicago plat form and vote for the Chicago nominee. The whole business, platform and can d'.date, is the work of a pseudo-Democracy having nothing in common with the" Democratic party of Jefferson and Jackson, Denton and Tilden, Cleveland and Carlisle. Almost at the same moment that Rrvan was named for President by the rhie.-uro convention, and before the - - - r- "Boy Orator" was apprised of the fact of his nomination, Major McKinley ac cepted the issue of the Free-silver men iu language that can not le misinter preted nor misconstrued. In addrcss ng the Foraker Club, of Cleveland, he leclared the principles of the Republi can party as follows: j . . . . . Recent events nave imposeii upon tue natriotic people of this country a resiKin- sibility and a duty greater than that of anv since the civil war. Then it was a struggle to preserve the government of the I inted suites. Aow it is a struggle to preserve the financial honor of the oovernmeut of the United States. Then it was a contest to save the Union. Now it is a contest to save spotless its cediL Then section was arrayed against section: now men of all sections can unite and w ill unite to rebuke the repudiation of our obligations and the debasement of our currency. In this contest patriotism is above party and national honor is dearer thau anv party name. The cur rency aud credit of the government are food' now and must le kept good forever. our trouble is not with the character of the money that we have, but with the threat to debase it. "We have the same currency that we had in lsiti, good the world over and un questioned by any people. Then, too, we had unexampieu creun aim prosperity. Our diftieuitv is to cet that money in circulation aud invested in productive enterprises which furnish employment to American Ialor. This is impossible with the distrust that hangs over the country at the present time and every effort to make our dollars, or any one of them, wrmh less than one hundrf d cents Each onlv serves to increase that dis- trusL What we want is a souud iolii-y, financial and industrial, which will give courage and eonudence to all, for w hen that is done the money now unemployed liecause of fear for the future and I.-u-k of confidence In investment, will quickly appear in the channels of trade.

"Having destroyed business and confi dence bv a free trade policy, it is now proiosed to make things still worse by entering upon an era of depreciated cur rency. Not content with the inaugura tion of the ruinous olicy which has brought down the wages of the laliorer and the price of farm products, its advo cates now oiler a new policy w hich will diminish the value of the money in which wages and products are paid. Against loth of these we stand op posed. Our creed enibra-es an honesi dollar, an untarnished national credit, adequate revenues for the uses of the gov eminent, protection to lalor and indus try. preservation of the home market am reciprocity which will extend our foreign markets. I"xn this platform we stand and submit its declarations to the sober and considerate judgement of the Ameri can ieople. ' Thk Nation thanks Democracy for putting on" the mask it has worn many years, for a platform frankly lwl, and for a candidate who matches it perfect ly, says the New York Tribune. Wil liam J. Uryan, of Nebraska, the "IVy Orator," as his friends delight to call him, is a worthy emlsxliment of the frantic spirit which produced the Pot. ulist movement, has taken the Demo cratic party by assault, and proposes repudiation and anarehy a medicines for existing ills. It is the belter if Mr. Rryan, as is said, is a man of unbh-iu isiieu iiersonui character. 1 he more dear ami distinct the issue can I made between the Jacobinism which nominated him and the Republicanism which nominated Mr. KcKinlty the licttcr for the country. His nomina tion is also a gratifying defeat of the Senatorial plot, which has lieen six months at work to force a bolting Re publican upon th.3 Democrats on the silver issue alone, ignoring tha tariff. The conspiritors set up Mr. Bryan to kill oft Mr. Bland, but found that Ne braska understood the "sinful game, and held the cards This selection is a fitting end of a most extraordinary Convention. As the Jacobins across the sea chose pas sion instea 1 of reasn for their guide, aud were ever ruled by the men of fiery tongue and no sense of restraint, thei imitators at Chicago have held the most hysterical Convention on record, and have chosen above all others the man who appealed most to their emo tions. Democrats of great ability an id experience in lawmaking ami in ad ministration have been tossed aside for one w hose sole public service has been for two terms in Congress, in which it is not known that he ever framed or helped to frame a practical measure, and who never had the least adminis trative experience in Nation, State, county or town olliee. Elected on the tidal wave of 1i0 by aliout 7,000 t.lu rality, lie barely craw led back in 182 with a plurality of 140, while2,40ii Pop ulist refused to vote for him, and he was completely obliterated by the Re publican revival in 1S!4. He had modestly aspired to be United State Senator, but was left out of sight by Mr. Thurston, the Democrats electing only 8 and the PopulisU only 2S mem bers of the Legislature against 97 Re publicans Nebraska does uot appear to have dis covered that it had within its borders the most eminent law-giver In the Iad j or the best-qualified person for Chief Executive. Whether Mr. Bryan is a Democrat at all or not, he arrived at j the National Convention as a member of a contesting delegation against which the Democratic National Com m it tee decided, but he broke in by the f..rl that the Democrats who con- tndltnl the State Convention adjudged regular may make their reply to Mr. Bryan at the polls.

And his supporters were nnn:i hloof wildlv cheering that asser tion. The nomination of such a man brings the true issue In-fore the country with startling distinctness. The elements j capable of giving to such a man oOU votes in a Democratic National con vention can be trusted for one thing onlv to ruin this country with aston- ishing rapidly if they ever get power to rule it The most dangerous are not the rasi-als who profess anything for tb hI-p of office, and want office as a chance to sell their convictions. The thoroughly sincere and determined en thusiasts, w hose faculty for believing is so stupendous that they can go w lid over Bryan's assertions cannot be reached by reason, and can only be crushed bv overwhelming majorities. It is to the honor of many Democratic journals that they did not need this j eminently suitable nomination to cause them to bolt. From this time on, the chief dut v of every gixsl citizen, what ever his political associations iu the past, is to make overwhelming and de cisive the defeat of the Jacobin candi date by McKinley and Hobart. William Jennings Bryan. William Jennings T.ryan, the Demo cratic nominee, has beeu considered the greatest orator in the history of Nebraska. He ban Ion? been the idol of the free sil ver wing of the Nebraska Democracy. He is 3D years old, and is tho youngest man ever nominated for the Presidency. Mr. Bryan was born in Salem, Marion County. 111., on March 19, IStXI. At the age of 1 he entered Whipple Academy at Jacksonville: in li77 ho entered Illinois College, and graduated valedictorian in lsst For the next two year he attended the Union Iaw College, Chicago, study ing in the office of Lyman Trumbull. After graduation he began practice at Jacksonville. In lv-7 he remove! to Lincoln, Neb., and became a member ol the law firm of TaltxitX Bryan. He was elected to Con gress in the First Nebraska district in 18:) over W. J, Connell, of Omaha, and was re-elected in 1TZ over Allen W. Field, of Lincoln. In ll Mr. Bryan declined a third nomination, and was nominated by the Democratic Stato Convention for the United States Senate by the un ani-nous vote of the ewnventiou. The Itepublicans, however, had a majority in the I-egislature, and Bryan was defeated for the Senatorship. Since Mr. Bryan's Congress term expired he has given his his time exclusively to spreading the doctrine of free silver. Mr. Bryan lives well in a commodious dwelling In the fashionable part of Lin coln. His family consists of Mrs. Bryan, Huth, aged II, William J., Jr., aged 6, aud tirace, aged 5. Failure of tin Wikon Tariff. So fur as raising revenue is concerned the Wilson Tariff bill is a dead failure. It has just completed its first complete fiscal year, and in that time rj5,rNs),oiO was paid into the treasury, the smallest amount of revenue in any year for tbo past ten years. During the fiscal year of the McKinley taritTs operation the treasury receipts amounted to $.5M,5td,71!), which was f u. Oiiii.OOO, using round figures in excess of the amount yielded to the treasury dur ing the past twelve months. The new tariff has now been in operation twenty- two mouths and it may be fairly assum ed that the business interests of the coun try Lave adjusted themselves thereto as smoothly aud as profitably as they will be ever able to do. The comparison of the net revenue results of those twen ty-two months with those shown by the corresponding first twenty-two mouths under the McKinley schedules is a fair one to make. And here it is ex pressed iu brief arithmetical form : Trcasurv n-coipt for the flis.1 month under Mi Kiiikv l.irill $mo,4J?, w0 Treasury receipts for the first s mouths under Wilson Uirifl. f7ii,3.'i0,lll Net los of revenue under Wilson lari tt for months SKM.OTO.TJ.

The spirit of repudiation and anarchy ran riot in the Chicago ao-called Demo cratic Convention yesterday, when it committee adopted a platform on which the party is to i next Presidency, make iu battle for the There Is not a single paragraph in the platform enunciating a distinct principle or policy of govern ment that gives any recognition to na tional honor or to the integrity of Ameri can citizenship. Repudiation run j through every paragraph relating to money, and anarchy in blended with the drega of the old States Rights idea iu the aeelaration that the greatest Repub- ijC of tl mainuii uiiuiou. tin r tim earth shall be powerless to maintain law and order within iLs do- Such i platform logic-ally eouimeneea i in declaration of urinciole with a delib erate falsehood when it declares that the act of ISol was passed and silver deiuon-etir-ed "without the knowledge or ap proval of the American iKsople." There is not a niemlicr of the committee tnai framed the platfoi m who did not know this declaration to be absolutely false. That act was deliberately and patiently eounidcied in three different sessions of Congress covering a jieriisl of nearly tbrec years and necessarily embracing two distinct Congresses. After it had been proposed and discussed without finaJ passagef , ew Congress was elected witb that discussion fresh liefore the peo- pie; that new Congress resumed the eon- sideration of the measure and finally passed the bill, and w ith the approval and support of most of the Senators from the silver states including a number who are now blatant free silverites To declare that silvor was demonetized w ithout the knowledge or approval of the American people" Is so consciously false on the part of those w ho have ut tered it that it places the authors of this platform, and the convention that adopt- j cu it, in aiwoium oi.-K.a. n.c j.s nient of every intelligent and fair mind ed American citizen. In point of fact, j there was no demonetization of silver in 1S7.1 because there was no silver to de monetize, as legal tender silver dollars had been out of circulation for nearly forty years; and the act was more elab orately discussed in Congress and by tho press and its aims and purposes more generally understood by the people, thau is common in the adoption of measures of the gravest moment The resolution declaring against gold monometallism is also based on alisolute falsehood. This country has never had jjbld mononiatallis, and it maintains to day quite as uiuchtsilver as a circulating medium as it has of gold. The gold stand ard of value is maintained here, as it has ever been maintained since the Republic was founded, and as it is maintained in every civilized government of the world; and the only complaint of the free silvsr fanatics is that the friends of an honest financial policy are unwilling to coin -Vi cents' worth of silver and stamp it as a dollar, and compel the government to keep it at par with gold by poying the difference in gold when demanded. The aim of the falsehood Is to destroy the ac cepted standard of valne in the ci.vilixed world, with which we have most import ant commercial relations which would le severed by the adoption of the cheay money or silver standard of the pagan and semi-civilized governments. M he utterly false declaration against gold monometallism is logically followed by a demand for the ''free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the presont legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of ony other nation,1 ami the demand for a i-cent dollar is as logically followed by the open repudia tion of our national obligations in the section requiring tnat the option of tho holders of our bonds to lie paid in gold or silver coin shall be withdrawn. The monster of repudiation is also distinctly set forth in the paragraph denouncing the hiie of bonds to maintain tho national credit Beginning with deliberate falsehood and gravitating to unmistakable ant private obligations shall lie paid In mon ey of one-half the value on which the contrai-t were tlased, what assurahee would the country or the world have that with the siicca of repudiation to the ex tent of one-half the value of obligations, the repudiationists would there end tho work of fraud ? If th legal or moral right to repudiote 50 per cent of an obli gation can lie sustained, the eight to re pudiate threefourths or the whole of any obi i gat ion would Is? equally logical, and there is not a feature of the financial de liverance of the Chicago platform on the queation of finance that is not open, un disguised repudiation, with falsehood summoned to furnish the only excuses which can be offered for it The assault upon the Supreme Court for its ret usal to sustain an income tax, and the dmond that the Constitution shall be changed to permit such tax to be levied, arc in perfect accord with the re pudiation features of the platform which precede it That the repudiationists should have gravitated into agrarianism ia entirely reasonable, and we have in this platform a distinct declaration from the South and West of aggressive hostil ity to the more thrifty sections of the Un ion. It is a deliverance that aims at the destauction of Southern and Western ere-lit, which to them would lie the greatest wealth they could attain to-day, and it meaus to close the doors to the dif fusion of wealth throughout the land for the development of the Imundless riches es tho South and the fertile plains of the West It is a reckless assault upon thrift in every section and aims a deathblow at industriol advancement in the regions where capital is most needed, and where it could bo freely commanded by public and private integrity. After repudiation and xgrarianism had been formally cominendee to tho Am?ri eon people by the platform, it was only a short step thenee to the slimy embrace of the Anarchist, The denunciation oi the national government for maintaining law and order within its dominion, as it did during the Chicago outbreak, is simply an ecqo of the Anarchists who hurled bombs at the guardians of the peace in the Chicago riots, some of whom weae par doned by (Jovernor Altgeld, who is one of the master spirits of the Chicago Con vention. The paragraph relating to the maintenance of peace by the government s a declaration in favor of red-handed ouurchy and none will misunderstand it It could hardly 1 expected that after for the first lime in tfce history of the fcovernracnt presioling a plalionu ltom a party of respectaliie pt-opottions in fa. vor of repudiation, agrarianism and an archy, such party sboulc favor any honest system of government; and tha declara tion against civil servtio reform that has been accepted by all parties d iring the last quarter of a century, is simply har mony with the policy of the yarty whose platform as a whole stamps it as a nation al council of destrnctionists; aud the oov eret assault upon President Cleveland, by declaring against a third term for which he has never been a candidate, is ihe cowardly kick of the as at the tiou. The Chicago platfoom is without a re deeming feature to commend it to pa triotic citizens of any political faith. There Ls not a single vital attribute of Democracy presented in It with the sin gle exception of the perfunctory para graph on equality of tariff taxes. It is a proclamation of organized repudiation, agrarianism and anardhy, and it must summon every intelligent and patriotic citizen, regardless of political affiliations, to most heroic tattle aSainst the triumph of a madness that is as deadly in iu aim as was the madness of secession in l"t, and without even the poor excuse that seceseion had for its suicide. Thousands are suffering excrutiating misery from that plague of the night Itching Piles and say nothing aliout it through a sense of delicacy.

The Vominee i from Hebruka and U On ly 86 Tears Old. President Cleveland's portrait looked down on the first session of the Demo cratic national convention of wnicn met iu Chiuago on Tuesday, and which rebuked aud repudiated hiui in a most humiliating manner. The silverites, by almost a two-thirds maioritv liuvine broucbt almost all of the doubtful delegate into line during tn0 ni(nt anj tue moruiug elected Seua- tor Ilanicl of Virginia temporary chair man over Senator Hill of New York, the vote lieing for Daniel to 343 for Hill, Hill declining to vote, while Daniel, coming later, had the happy thought of voting for Hill, which made a great hit, and seemed to put Hill in a discour teous position. It took over two hours of oratory and a roll-call of the states to bring about this result, and then, after Senator Daniel had read his long silver key-note siieech and tho committees had leen ap pointed, the convention adjourned until Veduosday. The Wednesday session was devoted to discussion, anarcbial utterances, and the unseating of sufficient gold lelegates in Nebraska and Michigan to give the sil verites control of those two delegations by applying the unit rule. The old leaders of tho Democratic party sat silen t in their seats while the new spokes man of a policy of sectionalism and financial ruin waved the flag of puppetistit over the heads of the delegates. The conven tion was a mob of excited, unruly, hya- .rjeai fanatics, and Senator White, of California, who was made pormanent chairman, had no more control of them than the police of Chicago had a few years ago over the Blue Island mob that shot down American citizens iu the streets of Chicago. The vote by which the silver nieu were seated was 5Vi to S, The whole of the day session on Thursday was devoted to the struggle over the platform. A minority report in lavorof the existing gold standard and indorsing the Cleveland administration was made by Senator Hill and his honest money associates on the committee on resolutions. Both propositions wore re jet ted, the first by a vote ol ftjt) to 30.!, and the Cleveland indorsement by a vote of jt'4 to 357. The majority report of a plat form was then adopted bv a vote of CJS to ;i. The debate was conducted on the gold side l-y Senators IIi'l and ilas and ex- t Jovernor Hussel, of Massachusetts, and on tho silver side by Senator Tillman, w hotii:i'l3,a vituperative harangue, and ex-Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska. liryan, who is only J years old, is one of the most eloquent orators iu the country. Hisaddress for silver, which was punctured with applause, was con eluded thus: It is the issue of 1770 over again. Our ancestors, when only three millions, de clared their independence ol evey nation on earth. Shall we when grown to seventy millions have less courage? If they say we cannot have bimetalisiii un til some other nation assists, we reply we w ill restore bimetalisiii. and let Kii!- land ad.ipt it, liecause the t'uilcd States has led the way. b-heersl We shall answer their demand for the gold standard bv saving to them "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns You shall pot cruelly mankind uihiii a cross of gold.'' Tremendous cheers. At the conclusion of Bryan's speech on the platform tho most remarkable soene of tho convention occured. When the delegates and spectators became lirod of shouting and waving handkerchiefs hats. flags, canes aud umbrellas, a procession was formed by tho delegations from the silver states and territories and they marched around the convention halt Some of the gold status Joined in the pro cession. The outburst was spontaneous and was as much a personal tribute to the silver champion as to the cause ho repre Rented. Many delegations immediately pledged him their support for the l'resi dential nomination. Tillman and Altgeld were defiantly and eagerly courting disruption. The spectacle was one that has had no parallel during the present generation, and its on ly parallel in the history of the country was that which divided the party into two hostile camps thirty-six years ago. Tillman referred to the disruption of lstu and the part which South Carolina took in it, in his speech Thursday, and dc;V Kiitly asserted that he was ready for dis ruption again with the conditions revers ed, which, if it meant anything, meant that he was ready to drive the northern Ilemocracy out of the party. "South Carolina in lsdu"' he said, "led tho fight in the Democratic party which disrupted it. Disruption," ho continued. while the galleries hissed, "brought about the war and the war emancipated the hick slaves. Sow," he ail le i, sweeping his arms through the air aliove his head, "we are leading the fight to emancipate the white slaves." Having disposed of the platform tha convention at atxut a o clock took a recess until 8 in the evening. At the evening session the order of business was tho nomination of candidates. The nominal Ing speeches were liegun on a call of the states Senator Vest first taking the stand to put Bland, In nomination. The names of Bland o, M isoirl, Bryan of Nebraska Matthews of Indians Boies, of Iowa, and Blackburn, of Kentucky, were presented. The convention adjourned at 1.3!) o'clock Friday morning until ten o'clock. The convention-was called to order at eleven o'clock Fiidav morning, and r;fter Pa'tisou had lieen placed in nomination by II unity, the- first lallct was taken. Thu delegates from the states of New Jersey and New York, refused to vote for any candidate. l'l'Vdelegates refused to vote on the first ballet which resulted as follows: Bland 2H; Bryan Boies C7; Mat thews 37; McLean M; Pattison fc7; Till man 17; PennoyerS; TcHer 8; Hill 1; Stevenson 2. On the second ballot Bland's vote In creased to 2si: Bryan's to l'JO; Pattison's to W; and the others retnaiued substanti ally the same with the exception of Boies who fell to :ti aud Tillman to noth ing. Third ballot: Bryan, '210; Bland, 201; Boies 30; AlcLaan, ol; Pattison, J)7. liryan gained 2t) aud Bland 10. bourth ballot Bryan, 275; Bland, 241; Boies 3; NicLean. 47; Patljson, ". Bryan gained i. Bland lost 50. On the fifth ballot thure was no count made as the assurance that Bryau woul-l bo the nominoo caused a stampede to him and his nomination was made unani mous. At this Juncture Ohio withdrew Me Leau and announced her vote for Bryan. Pandemonium reigned supreme. State after State fell iu line for him and when it became known that only four were needed Montana changed her vote to Bryan. This was enough, but befor it could be recorded Boise had been with drawn and Bryan's nomination was more than assured. Whilo the chairman was trying to re store order a Missouri delegate leaped to the platform and read a letter from Bland asking that his name be withdrawn w henever it would appear that another man was the choice of the delegates This was the signal for another great out burst that lasted nearly an hour. When order was restored Senator Trupte moved to make the nomination unanimous. The delegates from the States that had not been voting objected, but the chairman ruled that only dele gates that were voting should have a voice in the matter and it carried. It was a pretty question for awhile, when it was learned that New York would refuse to vote, as to whether a two thirds of the total number of delegates present or two-thirds of tboe voting should be considered in reckoning on thft necessary majority. The chair ruled, that only those voting would be consider ed in reckoning tho proportion. The number of delegatos w ho did n t vote on the various ballot were i, l'f, 102 and hi- respei-tivcly. The convention adjourned until & p. in. When the convention reassemble 1 It was found that Altgeld, Tillman and the other meinliors of the steering committee had not yet agreed upon a candidate for Vice Presideut and another adjournment was had until Saturday noon. The con vention wound up its business and ad journed sine die soon after three o'clouk. It selected as its candidate for Vice Presi dent the millionaire shipbuilder, rail road magnate and national bank presi dent, Arthur Sewall, Sibley and Mc- Iean for second place, and the cor poration man and national banker won. Uland, the poor man, was led to with draw only after the futility of any stam pede In his direction had been demon strated. Sixteen candidates were placed in nomination or were voted for without consent ou the first ballot. All but four of these dropped out of sighL They were Messrs. Ulaud, Sibley, McLean and Sewall. No less than 2Ti0 delegates refuse, to take any part in tho ballot which nom inated Sewall and the whole proceedings showed that the free silver men saw that their ticket was doomed to defeat. A POPULISTIC PLATFORM, It Declares for Silver, Income Tax, Altgeldiso and Other Issues. The allied forces of free silver. Social ism and Populism, which possessed themselves of the machinery of the Dem ocratic, organization, succeeded in forc ing upon tho party a platform which is both radical and revolutionary. By a more than two-thirds vote tho convention adopted a platform demand ing the free and unlimited coinage i f sil ver at the ratio of 10 to 1, denouncing the issuing of bonds in time of peace for any cause, demanding that the power to issue circulating notes be taken from the Na tional banks declaring for a tariff for revenue only, and asserting that there enactment of the McKinley law would lie a menace to the best interests of the country it declares for a constitutional amendment which will enable the enact ment of an income tax law ; extends sympathy for the Cubans in their present struggle with Spain; upholds the Monroe doctrine; demands that pauper immi grants shall he kept out of the country ; declares for liberal pension legislation ; approves of the contempt of court bill reported by Senator Hill to the Senate; opposes a third term as being in viola tion of one of the cardinal principles of tho Democratic party ; denounces the ex travagance of the last Uepublican con gress, aud calls for the arbitration of lalxir dilfereni-es The free silver plank in full is as fol lows : Recognizing that the money system is paramount to all others at this time, w e invite attention to the fact that the Fed eral Constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the l inu.-d States, and that the nrst coinage law passed by Congress under the Coii- stuull n lulu the silver dollar the moti clary unit and admitted gold to free coin age at a ratio liased upon the silver dollar unit. We declare that the Act of 1S7-5, demon elizing silver without the know ledge or approval of the American people, has re suited iu the appreciation of gold and a corresponding lall in the price of com nodilics produced by the people; a heavy increase iu the burden of taxation and of all debts public and private; the enrich nient of the money -lending class at home aud abroad ; paralysis ol industry and impoverishment of the people.
