The committee on permanent organi-
zation selected Hon. HE. B. Finley as
Chairman of the convention, and G. M.
Layton, as Secretary.
At II o'clock sharp on Wednesday
the convention was called to order by
Tom Cogan, Chairman ofthe State Com
mittee and the business of the conven-
ton was at once commenced.
Mr.. Finley made his appearance, and
on taking the chair, spoke as follows:
After twenty-four years of Republican
rule, the executive branch of the FEEDER
al Government has passed into Demo-
cratic hands, and for the past eighteen
months we have enjoyed the blessings
ofa Democratic administration; during
that time the Democratic party through
its representatives in Congress and its
executive administration, has begun to
put into practice, operation and effect,
Its pledges IT'D restore economy in the
public expenditures, enforce respect for
the law, restore forfeited railroad lands
to the people; and reduce taxation to

faith of the government to its creditors
and pensioners AS result of the re-
turn to Democratic methods, the busi-
ness interests of the country have pros
pered, and capital and labor have both
been benefited. We have reduced the
public debt 100000. We have de-
creased the number of public officials,
and increased the salaries of none. We
have entered upon the work of building
up the navy, which the Republican
party destroyed.
We have forfeited land grants un-
earned by railroad corporations to the
extent of many millions of acres; lands
the common heritage of the people,
which the Republican party gave away
without stint, and without money or
price, to the great railroad corporations
of the country. But for the opposition
of a Republican Senate, millions of
acres more, would ere this have been
added to the lands already forfeited.
We intend if possible to restore to the
people every unearned acre thus given
away.
The Democratic House of Representa-
tives originated and passed bill to
amicably adjust the dispute between
labor and capital. 1t has increased the
pensions of deserving soldiers about S.
000,0G0.
1t refused to repeal what is called the
silver coinage law. We propose that
the valuable products of our Western
