Nebrssks Democratic Convention.
The Democrats of Nebraska met in con-
vention at Lincoln and selected the follow
ing delegates Large TO the Chicago con-
vention: James E. Boyd, j. Sterling Nor
ton, w. II. Munger, and Tobias Castor
They are all for Tilden. No other name
was mentioned during the convention ex-
cept Tildens. The following platform was
adopted:
We, the delegates of the Democratic
party Of the State of Nebraska, in conven-
ton assembled, submit the following plat
form Of reforms and measures:
/. We demand a vigorous frugrality in
every department and from every officer Of
the Government, and we heartily concur in
the sentiment that no reform Of admins
tation is possible so long as the Govern
ment Is directed by party which is under
the dominion of false doctrine and anima-
ted by enormous pecuniary interests in the
perpetuation of existing abuses: that the first
effectual step in the reform Of our Govern
ment must be fundamental change in the
policy of its administration
2. That, in view of the unequal and dis
eliminating operation of the existing tariff
and the unjust and excessive burdens i'm
posed upon the people, we are in favor of a
revision which shall limit it to the produce
ton of the necessary revenues of the Gov
eminent economically administered that
it should be so adjusted as to prevent, as
far as possible, unequal burdens upon Ia
Dor, and to bear most heavily on articles of
luxury. and lightly on articles Of necessity.
We believe such a revision of the tariff
laws, simplified in their operation and adj
ministation, will result in decreasing the
growth Of monopolies, prevent the oppres-
sion and spoliation of labor, and the I'M
equal distribution of wealth, and abolish
special and class legislation.
Res0tred, That as our fathers, under the
lead Of Thomas jefferson, rescued our re-
public from the control of Federalism, and
the alien and sedition laws of the elder
Adams, so will the Democratic party of
1884, if united, hurl the Republican party
from power, and re-elect Samuel j. Tilden
and Thomas A. Hendricks President and
Vice President of the United States of
America.
New Hampshire Democratic Convention.
The Democratic State Convention of New
Hampshire assembled at Concord and ac-
complished its work in three hours. 1t was
unanimously for Tilden and Hendricks and
geneally in favor of the Morrison bill,
Frank Jones, Henry o. Kent, Frank A.
MacKean, and Alva Sulloway were chosen
delegates large. No instructions were
given, but, as the unanimous sentiment of
the convention preferred the ''old ticket,
they will support it at the national conven-
ton. Chairman H. w. Parker denounced
protection. and said that tariff for revenue on
ly would be the issue in the campaign. Res
olutions were adopted declaring against all
laws tending to the centnlization of power,
wealth, and political influence; demanding
a reduction of the war tariff; commencing
the Democratic majority of the House in
their recent efforts for tariff reform and in
sisting on no cessation of their efforts until
the revenue system is re-established on an
honest basis, and calling for a thorough re-
form of tariff, finan cial, and administrative
affairs. The resolutions also arraign the
Republican party as false TO the interests of
the people, and assert their condemnation
of the great crime of 1876. wrong
We propose to right and make impossible
