somewhat lengthy speech Mr.. Hubbard
said among other things; ''Fellow
citizens, it is not my business, as your
presiding officer to-day, to enunciate
anything that shall be embodied in your
platform. But [ wish to say one thing
in this great assemblage of freemen to
your Committee on Platform, that you
will endeavor to unite upon the basis of
principles which we have advocated for
the years that are gone, and that you
will have no Delphic oracle speaking
with double tongue in the platform
which shall be named by you. Let the
green mountain boys of New York and
the men of Maine, of Texas, OF Louis
lana and Georgia, from the Carolinas
to the Golden Coast. demand that the
Committee on Platform shall say what
they me n, so that the wayfaring man,
though fool, need not err in reading
it. In doing this we will declare
against the corruptions of the Republi
can party A resolution of Mr..
Sweetley, of Vermont, that the rules of
the last Democratic Convention shall
govern this body, except that in voting
for candidates no State should be al
lowed to change its vote until the roll
of the States had been called and until
every State had cast its vote, was
adopted The Convention then adj
journed to Wednesday morning.

some discussion was adopted. Resolu
tions were offered and referred without
debate, in favor of planks in the plat
form against the employment of convict
labor, for the enforcement of the eight
hour law, against sumptuary laws, and
declaring that the vote the day before on
Grady's amendment as to the unit rule
was intended to apply only to States
which had instructed their representa-
tiyes to vote as q unit. Mr.. Villas, OF
Wisconsin, was then elected by acclama-
ton Permanent President of the Con-
vention. Nominations for President
