that all taxations should be exclusively for
public purposes, and that no more taxes
be collected than are required to
support the government economically admin

Third Day.
CHICAGO, July 10.-AmorR the distinguished
gentlemen occupying seats on the platform to-
day were Speaker Carlisle and Hon. VIM. 81.
English, of Indiana, Hon. Samuel j. Randall
was not present.
The convention was called to order at lilo q,
m. The proceedings were opened with prayer
by Rev. Geo. G. Larimore of Emanuel Baptist
church, Chicago.
Carter Harrison, of Illinois, rising to a per-
sonal explanation repelled the intimation made
by one of the speakers yesterday that he had
packed the hall with clique which applauded
his speech in seconding the nomination of
Governor Cleveland.
A communication was received and read from
the chairman on resolutions, stating that the
committee, notwithstanding constant and
patient efforts, had not yet been able to COM
plete the platform, and woald not be prepared
to make completed report before z p. m.
The unfinished business of yesterday being
the call of states for nominations was resumed.
Mansur, of Missouri, came to the platform
and made a nominating speech. He SAID that
Missouri would have given thirty-two stalwart
democratic votes for the old ticket, headed by
the sage of Gramercy and his venerated friend
from Indiana, Mr.. Hendricks. As they could
not have the old ticket, he had been casting
about to see who was the man who, in the
emergency, should lead the embattled hosts of
democracy to grand and glorious victory.
Nothing short of a blunder could make the
democracy lose the election. With twenty five
democratic governors and twenty-three demo-
cratic Legislatures, representing 253 electoral
votes out of 401. nothing but a fatal blunder
could make the democracy lose. The man in
his mind was spoken of as the noblest Roman
of them all, Allen g. Thurman, of Ohio (cheers).
He, therefore, seconded that nomination; he had
looked in MIR. Thurmsn's face yesterday and,
recognized in him 'the colossal democrat of the
country"
''THE BISMARCK OF AMERICA"
Livingston, of Missouri, rose to second the
nomination of Grover Cleveland, but the chair
man stated that it would require unanimous
consent. 'No matter" said Livingston, I'VE
have got our work in anyhow" (Laughtsr.)
Thomas E. Powell, of Ohio, came to the
pletform to put in nomination the name of
George Hoadley, of Ohio. He declared that if
the democracy was true to itself ita success in
the coming struggle was already assured.
Within the last few years, he said, the state of
Ohio had overcame republican majority of
over 10000, ard at this hour the government of
Ohio was in the keeping of the great demo-
cratic party, and the man who had been a.
acknowledged leader in bringing about the
change was the candidate whom he now pre-
sented, Governor George Hoadly, of Ohio
(some applause). The state of Pennsylvania
having been reached in the call, Senator Will
liam A. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, came to the
platform to nominate Mr.. Randall. He said:
BY direction of the Pennsylvania delegation
I come to present the name of a candidate for
the great Office of president of the United
States. The name which bring before you is
found on every page of your country's and your
party's history in the last two decades Zap
plause). It is that of no untried tyro in poll
tical affairs; it is that of man in the prime
and vigor of his matured manhood, with every
faculty trained in political government.
AN OFFICIAL LIFE OF TWENTY YEARS
lies behind him, clear, harmonious and pure;
no dishonest action, no corrupt practice has
ever stained his escutcheon. (Applause.) While
most of his contemporaries in official life have
grown rich through devious and unknown
means, he is still poor man (cheers) whose
highest aim has been faithfully to serve his
people and his republic. Democrats, the hour
has struck for the nomination of democrat
grounded in faith and tried in the stern crucible
of his party's service (cheers). The pathway of
expediency is behind Us, strewn With the wrecks
of our failures; let Us be honest now; let US
stand by the records of our own pure public
men. Let us boldly appeal to the people on
that record and spurn the delusive promises of
our bitter foe. The name of such a man we
bring you. His practiced hand, his experienced
foresight, his conversanoe with public affairs,
will lay the foundation of your return to power,
80 broad, so VIDE, so deep, that they will be
permanent (applause). Pennsylvania presents
to the democracy OF the United States here
assembled in convention, a. her candidate for
the mighty Office of president of the United
States in the person of
sAM'L J. RANDALL.
