coffee, etc., and that the tariff on luxuries
| should be placed at highest limits.
These reports are now under discussion,
| and il ia not expected that the Platform
| will be submitted to the convention until
z o'clock this evening. Messrs Converse,
Hewitt and Watterson were appointed o
COMMITTEE TO punctuate and burnish up
| the final report before it is sent In to the
convention. The members OF the COM
| mittee seem TO think that the Platform, as
it will be presented, will be satisfactory Is
o whole.
Mr.. Abbott, Chairman of the Massachu-
| sets delegation, said that when Thai state
was called yesterday she presented no
name. Now, in behalf Of the majority OF
| the delegation, he asked that Mr.. John W.
Cummings might second the nomination
| of Bayard. Mr.. Cummings then came for
ward to the platform and addressed the
| convention. He said the party must be Q
| whole entire faultless garment. APP
| plause.l A large part Of the New York
delegation was bound hand and foot in this
| convention, and he himself represented the
fighting. labor district of Massachusetts,.
and he could tell the convention that II 1t
forced upon the Democratic party a man
who had rent the Government OF success
in New York, the party would lose the
State of Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island had no candidate to offer.
The call of the roll OF States for nomina-
tons was resumed. Rhode Island being
called, the Chairman of the delegation an
bounced its support of the nomination OF
Thomas f. Bayard of Delaware. 1t had
been said that the electoral vote OF the
South was sure for any Democratic nomi-
nee. The South had kept its faith unfal-
teringly and unfinchingly, but it must be
seen to that no Democratic Convention
committed itself TO q nomination or q
nominee that would, in some degree, i'm
peril these States in the future.
Ex-senator Doolittle of Wisconsin also
seconded the nomination Of Cleveland.
He declared his belief that with that can
didate the Democracy would carry the
electoral vote of Wisconsin, and that he
would more surely than any other candi-
date carry the electoral vote OF New York.
He therefore appealed to the convention
not to throw away this great opportunity,
because, with Cleveland and reform, the
Democracy was sure Of victory at the
coming election.
When the State OF Wisconsin was called
it WAS announced that the majority of
that delegation had voted to support
the nomination of Grover Cleveland.
Gen. Bragg seconded the nomination.
The call of States being completed, the
Chairman stated that in his opinion the
Territories were entitled to be called, and q
list of the candidates would be read. Be-
fore this was done, however, Connecticut
claimed to be heard, and Waller seconded
the nomination of Bayard.
The delay in perfecting the platform is
felt to be part of a scheme, as it gives
time for organizing. M. NJ. Rose OF
Arkansas stated that after much consults-
ton and consideration, the Arkansas dele.
CATION had determined unanimously to
cast its vote for Grover Cleveland of New
York.
John G.. Carlisle of Kentucky, Grover
Cleveland of New York. Allen G..
Thurman of Ohio, Samuel j. Randall OF
Pennsylvania, George Hoadley OF Ohio

Francis Bsyard of Delaware, Joseph E.

son OF the founder Of the Mormon church.

Kelly, a committee appointed by the Nor
mon Conference at Salt Lake, are now in
that place comparing the books Of Mormon

angel give the craven plates to Joseph

he plates made by the prophet him
self, and ia the only one in existence. Why
the comparison is made is not stated.
Thurman's Boom.
CHICAGO, July 10.-The Daily News says a
very big boom was worked up for Allen G..
Thurman. The opinion prevails that his
chance for getting the prize are rapidly
growing stronger. The enthusiasm shown
for him yesterday and to-day encourages
many in the hope that he may finally be
selected as the comprise candidate. Moth
ing can be urged against him. The CAL
iforniaDs are very demonstrstive in push
ing his candidacy. If Ohio were united
for him and equally as jealous. he would
be very formidable.
