Both Platform and Candidate.
DOVER, DEL, June 1.-THE Demo-
cratic State Convention was called to
order at 1880 O'Clock this afternoon by
Robert J. Reynolds, Chairman of the

toned Mr.. Bayard's name, which was
greeted with tumultuous applause. The
temporary organization was effected with
DR.. Ezekiel w. Cooper for Chairman. The
usual committees were appointed. After
the appointment of the committees, DR..
Cooper was made permanent Chairman.
The Committee on Resolutions then re-
ported as follows:
The Democratic party OF Delaware, in
convention assembled, in advance of the
declaration Of principles soon TO be
made by the Democracy Of the Union,
declares its steadfast adherence to
the cardinal and time -honored doctrines Of
the party. The principles and policy avowed
in he platform adopted at st. Louis in 1876,
and repeated at Cincinnati in 1880, have been
approved by time and experience, and we
trust that our delegates in the approaching
convention at Chicago will co-operate in con-
needs of the country. We present to the
whole country our fellow -citiZen, Thomas
Francis Bayard, as a statesman who, through
his long public career, has enunciated and IL
lustrated the enduring principles of Demo-
cratic faith, and whose nomination as Presi-
dent would furnish at once a platform and
candidate whose election would satisfy the
highest asperations Of the American people.
John w. Causey, in moving the adop-
ton of the resolutions, made a short
speech, saying that, like Webster, Mr..
Bayard was enough for both candidate
and platform. The resolutions were
adopted amid renewed cheering, and the
convention adjourned amid much enthu-
siasm.

Lieut. AHgHr,s Sad Fate.

He ESCAPES FROM BIOOMINGDALE ASYLUM AND Is
FOUND DEAD IN THE ROAD.
Lieut.. John j. Augur L. s. n. escaped from the
BlOomingdale lunattc asylum Tuesday night. and
yesterday morning his body was found In the road
way. Lieut.. Augur was a son OF Gen c. G. Aug,,r.
u. $. A. He was thirty-three years Old, and
had been in the navy since 1870. He was one
OF the officers sent out with the expedition to search
for the Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette and
the hardshipS he passed through affected his mind
He had been Off duty since last summer, and was
placed In the asylum on December gath last His
death was due to cold and exposure to Sunday
nights storm. He was well known in this city
during the war, his father having been stationed
here as commander OF the department OF Washing
ton, at which time the family resided in West
Washington. Gen. Augur and his son, Lieut.. c.
Augur, left Leavenworth, Kansas, last hight for
New York. Lieut.. Augur was born in New York
Dr. Nichols, who was in charge Of the asylum,
said: "Lieut. Augur was recently admitted to
Bloomingdale, suffering from nervous prostration,
accompanied by parOxysnls of excitement, arising
largely II not wholly, from loss OF sleep and severe
professional duty while on voyage to the Arctic
seas last season. He had been passing through q
period OF excitement, and had not slept at ali for
forty-etght hours. AT about three O'Clock he sue
dow guard and jumping to the ground few mo-
ments after his attendant had been in his room. 1t
is the opinion Of the physicians that the cause Of
Lieut.. Augurs death IS somewhat obscure. 1t may
be said to have been caused by the exhaustive
effects OF his disease, aggravated by his recent
element and insomnia and the dampness and cold
OF the morning."
HIS ARCTIC CRUISE.
Lieut.. Augur's sad fate is mourned by both the
army and navy, as well as large circle OF friends
In Washington. He was attached to the u. s. s.
Alliance, under Capt Wadleigh, during her Arctic
expedition In 1881 to attempt the relief OF the JEAN
passing to the east of Greenland In the vicinity OF
spitzbergen, and reached quite high latitude She
did not enter the ice, however, as the Rogers did,
which took the westward course at the same time,
but skred the packs and returned before winter
Her Officers and crew therefore suffered no hard
ships further than those OF anxiety, and the expe
1tfon is therefore thought here to have had no I'm
mediate connection with Lieut.. Augur's loss Of rea-
son. He was detached from the Alliance In May,
1853 and placed on waiting orders
He WAS ENGAGED TO BIZ MARRIED
last fall to daughter OF Gen. Emory, OF this city
shortly before the marriage was to have taken
place it was discovered that his mind was affected
He went to Fort Leayenworth, Kan, and the medi-
cal authorities there considered his trouble ser-
GUS one, and recommended that he be sent to
Bloomingdale Insane asylum. Since his admission
to the asylum his disease must have developed
very rspidly.

Prospective Tariff Legislation.


ACTION AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.
Prominent democrats, both free traders and pro-
tectionists, say that there is no doubt that the
committee on ways and means will report a tariff
bill that will pass the House. The fight on the
question In the committee will be prolonged. so
that no report is likely to be made On the subject
before the latter part OF April Friends OF both Mr.
Randall and Mr.. Carlisle deny that there is any ILL
feeling between those gentlemen concerning this
question.
Mr.. Forney said to a STAR reporter to-day that
all the talk about Mr.. RandalFs voting with the
republicans on the tariff question was nonsense. He
said that he thought there was no doubt that the
committee on ways and means would report bill
upon which democrats OF the House could agree,
and for which Mr.. Randall would vote There
would be points OF difference, but none that could
not be adjusted.
Mr.. McMilin said that he thought bill making
a reduction In the duties on certain articles OF
household consumption, &c, upon which the tariff
now unjuStly high, would be reported to the
House. The position OF the committee, he was sure
would be conservative.
