BATON ROUGE, La, Aug. 6.-The Democratic

morning and, after the usual routine business was
transacted, took short recess to allow consulta-
ton by the Committee on Resolutions and Plat
form. The convention reassembled at nOon

Nine ballots were then taken for State Treasurer,

Moncure. I65; Richards, 90. There was no choice,
and the Convention took recess until p. m.
The platform recommends levee system /;
calls for aid for the Southern Pacific Railroad
and Brazilian Steamship Line; indOrses the
Nichols Government and the State fund
inc laws; approves the fraud investigation by
the Federal House of Representatives; favOrs
the next Legislature calling a Constitutional
Convention asserts that the welfare of the in
dustrial, wealth-prOducing classes is of par
amount interest to the people, OF the United
States, and that those whose labor and enter
prise produce wealth should be secured in its
enjoyment; expresses sympathy Tor the labor
ing classes who have been thrown out of en-

In reference to the finances the platform
klles ne IOuisldbd
that the National banking system be abolished
and National bank notes retired, and in lieu
thereof that the Government of the United
States issue an equal amount of treasury
notes, commonly known as greenbacks. We
also demand the unconditional repeal of
laws imposing a tax upon the cIrcula-
ton of State banks. We demand, also, the
immediate and unconditional repeal of the
Resumption Act, and are unalterably opposed
to the ruinOus policy pursued by the Republic
can party, whereby the volume of currency
has been contracted far below the business
requirements of the country, and failures, de-
preston of business, scarcity of labor and
pauper wages have been entaied. That it Is
the sense of this convention that all the
bonds and obligations of the National Gov
eminent should be paid in legal-tender green
back notes of the United States, except where
it is otherwise provided in the original law
under which they were issued. We further
demand the repeal of all laws passed subse-
qGeRt to the original law creating the public
debt, by which obligations of contract have
been made more OnerOus.n

gent Comfy, was nominated as the candidate for
covernor by accamation. Mr.. Martin, of Sussex
connty. was nominated for Congress on the first

The following is summary of some portions of
the platform:
The public course of the States Senators
and REPRESENTATIVES in Congress is Endorsed,
and II is declared that lin accordance with
the time-hOnOred and constitutional faith OF
the Democratic party, we hold that the only
honest and lawful money of the people of the

the will of the holder"
other resolutions claim credit for the Demo
cratic party of the State for the exercise OF
discretion, economy and integrity IN the adj
ministrauOn of the power conferred upon
n by the people. and hold the Republican
party responsible for the depressed condition
of business.
The platform also denounces the conspiracy
which, through corruption and fraud, gave
fine electoral votes of South Carolina, LOuisi-
ana and Florida to Rutherford b. Hayes for
President, and William A. Wheeler for Vice
President, against the clearly expressed will Of
tbe voters of those States, and declares a
firm conviction that the refusal of the Repub
hcan members of the Electoral Commits
sion to investigate the charges of fraud,
whereby the certificates of election were
given to the Hayes electors III the
sald States, was a violation of public
duty and a betrayal of the trust reposed in
them and indOrsing and approving the in-
vestgatiOn instituted by the House of Repre-
sentatives for the purpose of exposing to the
whole country the means by which said frauds
were perpetrated and the will of the American
people defeated in the election of their Chief
Executive.
