 Worcester.
 . WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 7.-The Demo
 cratic State Convention was called to order at I:32. and tn echair~' an, secretary and as- | sistant secrets State Central oom-
 mittee were ma, 'orary officers. By vote of the convention tne chairman appoint I ed committees on credentials and on perma- | nent organization. The latter committee re- ported list of names with the Hon. John E. Fitzgerald as president. MT. Fitzgerald, on
 taking the chair, made speech lasting ex-
 actly an hour, and which was of the regula- tion Democratic stripe, winning him frequent applause. The committee on credentials re- l ported that thirty three cities and 275 towns
 were represented by 1,4ss delegates. The Hon. Edward Avery of Braintree, of the | committee on resolutions, then reported, and
 the platform was unanimously adopted. The platform as embodied in the report of the committee on resolutions reaffrms the principles embodied in the Chicago platform of 1884; warmly indorses the administration of Grover Cleveland which is expected to se- cure the vital reforms long demanded by the Democratic party, toIgive civil service es- tablished on a broad basis of justice and equality, and secure to the administration officials in sympathy with it's policy without creating an official class above and beyond the people, and to administer the financial departments of the government h onest1y and economically, imposing the least burden of taxation on the people. The resolutions refer to the death of General Grant and it's effect in wiping out sectional prejud ices. They call for laws to prevent convict lab or, to secure arbitration between employers and employees where differences exist, favor weekly pay ments and giving soldiers and sailors the preference when employees are selected by the State or the cities. They favor in strong terms the liability act for the protection of employees who are injured in the perform ance of their duties. They denounce the or ganization, methods and management of the present incompetent and incongruous State board of health, lunacy and charity to the end that several important departments now under it's charge may be more efficient ly, honestly and economically conduct ed, and that the scandals which have marked its career may be uprooted, and condemn the action of Governor Robinson in becoming party to the scandalous and inefficient administration of the department. The resolutions de- nounce the Republican legislature and execu- tive for depriving the city of Boston of the control of it's police and compelling it's tax payers to pay the salaries of officers in whose choice they have no immediate will. They also denounce the Republican legislature for it's opposition to the demand of the labor in- terests of the commonwealth.
 The Hon. William Aspinwall, of Brooklyn, offered supplementary set of resolutions opposing biennial elections calling for a con- stitutional convention to deal with the ques- ton of manhood suffrage, the right and du- ties of labor, local self-government and an impartial division of representation and demanding 8 constitutional guar antee against the alteration of city charters without the consent of the governed, return to the principles of local self-government and cessation of use- less interference in municipal affairs on triv- ial matters by the legislature. These resolu- tions were referred, without reading to the committee on resolutions.
 MT. Concannon, of Boston, moved that if teen members be added to the committee to ruled the motion out of order and quite breeze of excitement followed, in which some delegates claimed that the chair was at tempting to enforce gag law. Tke chair de- nied any such intention and said that he was simply living within parliamentary rules The committee then took recess
 After the presentation of the name of Hon. Edward Avery for Governor, after the re- cess, Dr. Morse, of Salem, arose and said J. S. Grinnell could carry Massachusetts and he was satisfied of it. Thomas Riley, of Boston, took the floor. He promised to be short and began with a story. He thought, however eminent or deserving others might be, all should give way to Hon. F. O. Prince. He said the Butler men would not oppose him, but were positively and unequivocally for him. Judge Day, of Brockton, sounded the praises of Hon. Edward Avery, of Brain tree. John R. Thay.r, of Worcester, made an eloquent plea for Edward Avery, saying that aided by the best paper in Massachu- setts, the Boston Daily Globe, he could be easily elected. Colonel A. A. Haggett of Lowell, the new Democratic postmaster ap- pointed this week, followed for Grinnell, keeping the convention in good humor by witticisms. At 3:3O o'clock, on vention voted to proceed to ballot for candi- date for governor, which resulted as fol- lows:
 Whole number of votes. 1aa Necessary to choice. 565 Grinnen ..................... 493 Morse. ........... .................. Lowering -------.. -............-.-.. 1
 MT. Corcoran moved that Hon. F. o. Prince be nominated by exclamation. Mr. Cherring moved as an amendment that the convention proceed to another ballot. Mir, Gargan said that he and MT. Noble had agreed that whichever candidate, Prince or Grinnell, lead on the first ballot should be nominated by the other by exclamation. Hon. P. A. Collins came forward amid great applause and said that whatever bargain had been made by MT. Noble or MT. Gargan he fov hoY1[ Tk voted to proceed to second ballot, the vote to be taken by counties and the president announced that not vote would be received until the platform was cleared. At o'clock ballot ing began. Trains were leaving every hour and many of the rural delegates had left the hall The second ballot resulted as follows: Necessary to choice. -446 GrinneI ......-. ........................ 431 ColIi1s " i~i Prince was declared the nominee amid cheers.
