THE CHAIRMAN SPEAKS.
Mr.. Hubbard, in taking the Chair, gave
thanks for the honor done him, which he
accepted, not as 3 tribute TO himself, ou'
A a compliment to the great State from
which be came, q State which was soso-
lutely cosmopolitan in every fibre. Inc
Democratic party, in all its elements, WAS
the same IS when it was founded by the
trainers OF the Constitution nearly three
fourths of q century ago. Men die as the
leaves in Autumn. but the principles under
living liberty and self-government are
eternal, and the principles hat underlie
the Democratic party cannot perish from
earth, although their authors may cease to
be-, Applause The Democratic party ID
to-day as we'll organized for an aggressive
war IS when victory WAS perched upon us
banners. The Democratic party hAs nov
the House of Representatives, and would
have the Senate but for treason in the
Senate chamber itself. tCheers. 1t
would have had the Presidency. too, but
for the hands of robbers who struck down
the expressed will Of the people by means
of perjury, bribery and corruption. The
Presidency had been stolen from the DEM
ocratic party By men uttering false words
through pale lips and chattering teeth.
Some Of the men who participated in that
crime have passed beyond the ~river-there
to give an recount Of their stewardship.
That stealing of the Presidency is the
greatest crime in the nations history.
The great leaders OF the party,
Tlden and Hendricks, with 9 dignity
which became heroic statesmen and pa
triots, submitted with the courage OF men
who love their country better than self and
power. Cheers The Democratic party
now would reform, and should put forward
candidates whose anne would be in them
selves s platform. ICheers. 1t wanted q
platform, too. that would speak in no
doubtful tones, or a. 8 Delphic oracle. i,
should declare against corruption In the
Government; against the enormities OF the
Civil Service; against the so-cslled Depart
ment of Justice; against abuses of the
Postal Service; against robbery in high
places; that the burdens Of the Govern
ment shall be based equally and equitably
on all classes of the people, and that hun
dreds of millions OF surplus revenue shall
not be allowed TO accumulate. In conclu-
sion, he urged that whstever candidates
we're nominated, they should be supported
loyalty, declaring that be who would not
support them would not be q good Demo
crst and hardly = patriot.

The rest of the temporary organization
having then been announced, Smalley Of
Vermont, q member of the National Com
miitee, offered s resolution 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. Grady of New
York offered Is an amendment the follow
ing And when the vote Of = State has
been announced by the Chairman of the
delegation OF such State and is challenged
by any member OF the delegation. then the
Secretary shall call the names Of individual
preferences, s. expressed, shall he recorded
as the vote Of such State. Applause.
John r. Fellows Of New York said that the
convention OF his State had directed that.
in compliance with immemorial usage in
that State, the sentiments Of the majority
should be first sscertaIned, and that hav-
ing been done. the vote of the New York
delegation should thereafter be cast ss q
unit. The convention Of New York having
placed upon its delegates that trust. be
challenged the right Of this convention to
strip the New York delegation OF the right
thereby conferred. Such action would not
pass vi thout protest from at least some of
the members Of that body" The speaker
then read the instructions 10 act as 9 unit,
passed by the Saratoga Convention. He
continued by saying that 50 far as regards
the method by which the vote of the pow
era OF Michigan advocated the amendment
offered by Grady, why. he asked, should q
man be presented as . reform candidate and
. n attempt be made to nominate him BY
machine methodist Applause.
Harrison Of Illinois argued that il the
State Of New York had instructed its dele
gates Is 9 unit, and if they failed 70 90
vote. they would be d~isobeying the State,
but this convention had nothing to do
With that. TApplsuse. He would prob
ably be found voting differently from Mr..
Grady on the question OF candidates, bu,
be wanted 8 free vote now.
Jacobs OF New York said that he wss of
the minority and would exercise his priv
lege Of voting against the choice Of the
majority. but q . Democrat and a q man
loyal TO his constituents, he would be ODE
dent 10 the orders OF his State Convsn-
non. and boz to the viii Of the majority,
Applause.
Grady Asked him il at The SARATOGA Cen
venion there had been Q word Of discrs-
sion % 10 the limit rule.
Jacobs replied that there had not bean:
out u was because everybody had agreed 70
