WISCONSIN DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
VENTION

This body met at Madison on the 10th Of
September, and appointed Timothy Burns Pres.
ident Sixty-eight delegates were in attendance
The Convention nominated ID. A. l. Upham for
Governor, and Timothy Burns for Lieutenant
Governor.
The Convention then proceeded to appoint
delegates to represent the State of Wisconsin
in the Baltimore National Convention The
following persons were sent:
Delegates at Ldrge.-Nelson Dewey and n
c. Hobart: LIST Congressional district, John A.
Bryan, of Milwaukee; I'd district, David Nog-
gle; Sd district, John Delany
State Electors were appointed as follows: At
large, Satterlee Clark and M NJ Cothren LIST
district Philo White; I'd, Beriah Brown; 3D.
Charles Bllinghurst
The following resolution was adopted. A
motion was made to postpone indefinitely and
adopt the platform of ls49, but the substitute
was voted down:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Wisconsin
now stand where all true Democrats have stood
since 1896, on the platform Of principles then
drawn by that pure and lamented statesman,
Silas Wright and approved by every National
Democratic Convention since that day. And
occupying, as our party does this devoted posi-
ton, we would, in their name, repudiate all ex-
raneous issues and sectional tests Of party faith,
as pernicious, clannish and disorganzing in
their tendency
The kenosha Telegraph, under the title of
Cause and Effect, " publishes the following ex-
tract from letter of Mr. C. H. Donaldson to a
friend in Iowa:
"In regard to platforms, avoid all new tests,
especially that Of Land Reform. Partly re-afdrm
the Baltimore platform, pithom offending our
Free SOIL aiiieS-who have pledged themselves
in good faith to us-ss their vote will be most
formidable, you may depend upon it; and we
can afford to make a few sacrifices of the South
where 80 irascible disposition Is shown.
"If you could but preceat the passage Of
Land Reform resolutions in the State Contention
Of Iord, and other portions Of The West, then
background and Houston's ebancss greatly i'm
proved"
Ii adds
at is said that several reliable individuals in
Wisconsin have been intrusted with these in
structOns, and as these Individuals were promi-
nent in our late State Convention, the suspicion
is fully confirmed by their action there. Look
how exactly that Convention has complied with
the directions Of this letter--all new tests have
been avoided, especially that Of Land Reform,
and the Baltimore platform has been partly re-
affirmed. Whether, however, it has been done
without offending our Free Soil allies remains
TO be seen"
