The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
The Cincinnati Platform Adopted
Greeley and Brown Unanimously
Nominated.

BALTIMORE, July 9.-The Convention was
called to order by August Belmont, Chairman
of the Democratic National Executive Commit
tee. Belmont spoke at some length, reviewing
the political situation, and expressing de-
cided preference for the adoption of the Cincin-
natl platform and candidates. In conclusion
he declined serving any longer Chairman of
the National Democratic Committee. He an
nounced the selection Of Hon. Thomas Jeffer-
son Randolph, of Virginia, as temporary chair
man ofthe convention.
MIR. Randolph's name was received with
cheers
Mr.. Randolph, on taking his seat, said Il
am aware that the very great honor conferred
on me by this body is due to no personal merit
of my own, but is token of respect to the
State from which i come, and to recognition
OF other circumstances possibly advontitious.
| am, perhaps, the oldest member of this
body and a life of eighty years spent in the
Democratlc-Republican party constitutes me
IA senior member.
l remember freshly every Presidential con-
test, from the first election of Jefferson to the
present time, and can say with truth that
remember none which involved higher ques-
tons of personal liberty, local self govern
ment honest administration and constitu-
tional freedom than the present, or one which
demanded OF our party and our people more
earnest recourse to fundamental principles
1t strikes me as the mission of this hour and
OF this body to wrest the government from the
hands OF It's present deSpotic and corrupt
holders, and to place it in honest hands 10
restore to citizens everywhere the proud CON
seriousness OF personal right, and to all the
states perfect integrity of local self-govern
ment. This, with recognition of the suprem-
acy OF the civil constitution aud law will, in
my judgement, discharge all our present duty.
The foregoing remarks were delivered with
much energy and effectiveness considering
hat h.l.
He was repeatedly cheered. Rev. Henry
Sllcer being presented, addressed the Throne
of Grace.
Frederick o. Prince, of Massachusetts,. and
E. o. Perrin, of New York, were chosen tempo
rary secretaries.
