Texas Democratic Convention.

FORT WORTH. TEXAS, June 12.-ThC
Democratic State Convention reAssemblef
at A o'clock yesterday afternoon. Elk
Governor Richard Hubbard and Others al
dressed the Convention. The speakers all
declared the tariff issue TO be the great cen.
trail figure OF the coming contest. Mr.
Hubbard said he bad been informed that
Mr. Tilden would accept; but the party
would lose nothing even II Mr.. Tilden
would refuse the nomination, as there were
many others worthy OF the great hon r.
On reassembling In the evening the
Committee on Rules recommended the
adoption OF the two-thirds rule IN electiDg
delegates at large. The minority report
OF the committee was adopted by 800 to
145, and he two-thirds rule was thus de-
feated for the first time in the history Of
Democracy in TeXas.i
The resolutions adopted declare that the
tariff for protection is unconstitutional and
unjust, and conflicts with the genius and
spirit OF free government. The present
tariff Is denounced as a scheme for the pro-
lection Of monopolies, and as master
piece OF injustice and false pretence. 1t
has destroyed Amer can commerce, dimin-
ished the profits Of American agriculture,
and enslaved american labor.
A resolution was passed declaring Til
den and Hendricks the choice OF the De-
mocracy OF Texas.
Richard Hubbard was ronominated for
Governor by reclamation
After midnight, in the midst OF the bal
loting for delegates at large, Tilden's letter
Of declination was read before the Conven-
ton. Prior to his moment the Conven-
ton had been wildly enthusiastic for Til
den and the "old ticket" The letter
chilled the Convention, and the delegates
were unable to exhibit their usual enthn-
siasm. 1t is probable that the resolution
endorsing Tilden will be withdrawn and
Thurman's name substituted
At o'clock the Convention adjourned
until today
