MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept, 5.-The
Democratic convention, which is tC
nominate candidates for state officers,
was rapped tOorder by Chairman Usher,
of the state central committee. at 1886
TODAY. j. B. Doe, Jr., of GAINESVILLE,
was elected as temporary chairman,
and his reference to the administration
of Grover Cleveland and tariff reform
were received with great enthusiasm
and the following reference to Gov,
FORAKER and Senator ingalls, brought
ont roar of laughter: iii
is and always will be one
of the curiositieS of history that after
twenty years of Republican rule, I'M
mediately followed the actual ceSsatioh
of hOstilitieS; it has taken nearly 1our
wears of Democratic administrator 10
fully convince the people that the war
is over. Except for an occasional now
from an obstreperous individual from
Kansas and dVspeptic Snarl from an
insignificant Foraker lot in ONO, tnere
are no signs of war in the land" John
IRE, ST.. of Eau Claire, was chosen
Temporary secretary. Committees on
credentials, resolutions and permanent
organization were then selected, and
the convention adjourned at / 20 p. III.
until 8 D. M. The convention reaS-
sembIed at p. m. and organized
with w. Ii. Sedman, of Sheboygan, as
permanent chairman. His opening ad-
dress was devoted principally to an at
tack upon the Republican policy with
reference to protection.
The following platform was adopted
without adisSenting voice.
The Democrats of Wisconsin hereby
declare their approval of the admins
tratiOn. and especially of the efforts OF
President Cleveland to reduce the taxa
ton to the needs of the government.
They re-a1firm the principles enun-
ciated in their platform adopted In
May last. They heartily lndorse
the action of the national Democratlc
convention in its nominations and its
platform. They believe that the reduc-
tion of the tariff is the issue OF this cam
paign. and that the people shonld insist
upOn the moderate reduction OF taxes
suggested in the presidents message.
They believe that the interests of all
producers, whether in field or work
Shop. are with the Democratic party,
the party of low taxes. They are OPP
posed to sumptuary laws as an unjust
abridgement of the inalienable rights
of the citizen. The Democrats
of Wisconsin stand upon these
declarations and invite others to coop
crate with this effort to reduce taxation.
They especially invite the aid OF the
10000 young men in Wisconsin, VINO
have become voters since 1860, and
whose futures were mOrtgaged b. war
debts to cast their votes with the party
that is dealing with present business
condition and not with a hero or with
the sentiment or prejudiced engen-
dered by questions that have long since
been settled. There was prac-
tically no contest for any OF the
offices except governor, and not
much for that. James Morgan, of Mil
waukee, was nominated for governor on
the first ballot, receiving the solid vote
of eight congressional districts. His
opponent, John ID. Putnam, OF Pierce,
received but thirty-three votes, those OF
his own congressional district. The
other nominations were made by &C
clamation, as follows: Lieutenant gov
ernOr, Andrew Kull, of Walworth; sec
rotary of state, A. G. Carson, OF Eau
Claire; state treasurer, TheOeore Kers
ten, OF Calumet; railroad commits
sioner, Herman Naleer, of Shawano:
Insurance Commissioner +. Nj. Evans
of Sank; Attorney General Timothy f
RYAN. of WaukeSha; Superintendent Of
Public Instruction Amos Squire, o.
Green Lake. Ryan is also on the Labor
ticket, but this nomination is the only
Endorsement.
