IXDJANAPOL18, Popt 4. John SI. Pal
mer of Illinois nnd Simon liollvnr Huck
ncr of .Kentucky, two whito haired vet
erans of tho war, rlvnl commanders of tho
bluo nnd gray, wore nominated yesterday
by tho Notlonnl Domocrntlc convention
for-presidont andvlco president, on a brief
but cmphatlo platform which repudiates
tho doctrines enunciated by tho Chicago
convention ; Indorsos President Clovolnnd
and his administration In glowing terms;
declares for tho gold ;6tandard, tariff for
revenuo only, liberal shipping laws, cur
rency reform, civil scrvico and economy
In public expenditures.
Tho rotvl work of tho convention was
soon transacted when It was reached, but
tho delay In reporting tho platform gavo
opportunity for a sories of eloquont nnd
stirring speeches. Tho nttondanco was
larger thun on Wednesday, and tho en
thusiasm was groat. Colonol W. C. P.
nrecklnrldgo, tho famous Bluo CSrass
orator; Dowitt C. Wnrnor of Now York,
II. A. Hammond of Goorgia, F. W. Leh
man of Missouri, W. D. Uynum of Indi
ana nnd Comptroller of tho Currency
Eckels of Illinois were In turn called to
tho stage
When tho plr.tform wns at last brought
in, shortly before 3 o'clock, after tho con
vention had boon in sosslon tlireo hours, it
wasroadamidan almost continuous storm
of npplauso, and was adopted unanimously
without a word of debate When tho nom
inations for provident were callod for It
was apparent that Palmer would bo nom
inated over his protest, as tho opposition
to llrngg had concentrated upon him.
Thpso two names woro tho only ones pre
sented to tho convention. It wns known
that a message from Presidont Cloveland
had reachod tho convention that ho could
not entertain for a momout tho suggestion
of his own nomination.
Boforo tho stntos woro callod for nomi
nations, Henry Wntterson was taken out
of tho lists by Mr. Carroll, of Louisville,
who, from tho platform, conveyed to tho
convention a message from tho Kentucky
editor in his retreat In tho mountains of
Switzerland. Sir. Wattcrson, Sir. Carroll
said, tlireo days after tho Chicago conven
tlon, had cabled that other candidates
must bo named or Democracy was lost.
Later ho had said ho did not want tho
honor, but that if no ono clso could be
found to tako command ho would not ask
others to go where ho would not lead.
Now that others woro ready to accept, he'
preferred to do battle in tho ranks.
Bomo of tho nominating speeches were
eloquent and full of lire. L. L. Jvilbourno,
of Sllchlgan, placed Sonator Palmer In
nomination, and thoro ,vas a serlos of seo
oudlna snoeohos. Hurr W. Jones, of Wis
consin, nominated General Bragg, "the
hero of fifty battles nnd tho coiunmndoror
tho -"Iron brigade.' " Illinois waited until
all the other states had been called. Then
Judgo Slornn, of Chicago, took tho 6tngo,
and said they had recognized from tho
first that Senator Palmer was tho man to
lead tho fight. Ho wns, ho said, a plat
form In himself. All his life ho had fought
llatlsm, groonbaeklsm, freo silver and
other vagaries. But ho had sealed their
Hps. After seeing tho tompcr of tho con
vention, howevor, ho said Illinois was
compelled to join hands with hor sister
Btatos in urging his nomination.
Tho roll call immediately dovolopod an
overwlielmlng majority In favor of Sona
tor Palmor, but It proceeded to tho ond,
Palmer receiving 757)4 votes and Bragg
124. At its conclusion tho commander
of tho "Iron brigade" mounted a chair,
and In iv brief but graceful speech movod
that tho nomination bo mndo unanimous,
nnd pledged that ho and Wisconsin in the
coming battle would bo where bravo sol
dlors should always bo, nearest tho Hash
ing of tho guns. Ho was given three hearty
choors, uud Gcuoral Palmer was declared
tho uomlueo amid an onthuslastlo demon
stration. Thoro nover was any doubt about Gen
oral Bucknor's nomination for vloe presi
dent, except while tho nomination was bo
imr talkud of for Senator Palmer for pres
ident. When Chairman Cnffory Instructed
tho secretary to call tho Btatos lor nomi

William F.'TIrodder, of Kentucky, placed
GcnoTul Bucknor's namo formally in nom
ination, and tho nomination was forth
with mado unuNiimous. After tho con
vention had adjourned Sonator Pulmer
succumbed. Ho said ho would accept, no
had never vet failed torospond to tho call
of duty, ho said, and ho. could not do so
now, with such a causo at siuko.
