Second ballot begun. For q time there was
great confusion. It was impossible to take
the votes 10 they we're cast. The tide
turned in favor Of Abbott, however, and
soon the Chairman declared him elected.
There was the widest confusion. The
Albright men jumped on top Of seats and
cursed the nomination and declared they
would bolt. The motion to make the
nomination unanimous was howled down.
and without adjournment the delegates
dispersed. The final vote, according to
the Secretary, showed 331 votes for Abb
bolt, or IA more than necessary for .
choice. Great dissatisfaction is expressed
among the delegates, and there are those
who talk Of boiling. The Republicans
seemed particularly pleased with the
nomination. The platform adopted ar
raigns the Republican party for c~orrupting
the public service; fsvoring monopolies;
making large grants Of public lands, and
for maintaining itself solely BY patronage
md power; believes in civil service reform.
but denounces the sham method Of civil
service examinations; favors tariff for
revenue limited to necessary expenditures
Of the Government, adjusted in the interest
Of home production and labor. without
producing or fostering monopolies. The
resolutions closed ~ follows:
We demand the equalization Of taxes on
ell property within the State. whether that
Of individuals or corporations; no him
drance to legitimate enterprise; no en-
courage OF monopoly; all government in
the interest Of the whole people; every
legitimate effort Of labor to better its con-
dition, enhance it's reward and protect
itself commands the sympathy and support
OF the Democratic party, which Ia the
natural foe Of monopoly and the natural
friend Of the ~workingmen. The present
unprecedented and unsatisfactory condi-
tons in relation TO labor and capital de-
serve careful thouRht.o o. legislators. Due
regard should be had for the vested rights
Of capital and the claims Of private enter
prise.
