PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS
Adopted aG the Democratic state
COnyontiOn i'm Virginia City,
Nevada, May II, 1888.

The Democratic party of the Stat. Of Neva-
da, in Convention assembled, reafiirms it's de-
votion to the Federal Union, and to the Con-
stitution Of the United States and its amend
ments, and hereby readopts the principles of
constitutional government promulgated by
the Democratic National Convention of 1884
and affirmed by the people in the election of
Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks,
President and Vice-President of the United
States. .
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND IHDoRsED.
We congratulate the country upon the sue
cessful administration Of President Cleve-
land.
He has maintained the peace and dignity of
the nation; has upheld Public Credit; has re-
duced public expenses; has restored millions
of acres to the public domain. and has Impair
TALLY enforced the laws throughout the length
and breadth OF the land.
Under his wise and benefcent administra-
ton the whole country is enjoying remarkable
prosperity and all sectional feeling has been
obliterRted.
l. The Democracy of NGvAds recommend hi
and invite all liberal-minded
men, irrespective of past party predictions,
TUE TARIFY QUESTION.
We fully opproye Of the efforts Of the Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress to perform
the pledge made by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention TO reform aud remove taxes,
to the end that the labor Of the country be re-
lieved of onerous and unnecessary burdens.
We denounce the present tariff system, which
creates an annual surplus Of S155 900 600 in the
National Treasury, by taxing the every day
necessities of our farmers, miners and labor
ers for the benefit of protected Eastern manu-
facturers - for every dollar that goes into the
Treasury, and which does not protect the la
borer. We declare that taxation should be
limited to the requirements of governments,
and that the burden Of taxation should rest
upon those who use Iuxuries rather than upon
those who use only the necessaries of life.
zREE COINAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the free coinage OF silver now en-
joyed by gold, or, in lieu thereof, the right of
deposit in all Of the Mints of gold and silver
bul ion, for which certificates shall be issued
payable in coin in the same manner that Unit

MGLYNN MAKES REPORT.
WHY THE TWO LABOR PARTIES
FAILED TO UNITE.

Cowdry, the McGlynn Candidate for Pres
ident, a Man of Dignity and Substance
Blaine in Enjoyment of Excellent
HeaIth-Curtis' Predictions.
New YORK, May 2l.-At last nights
a~nti-poyerty meeting John McMackin
and DIR. McGlynn made their reports of
the proceedings at Cincinnati, and the
refusal of the Union Labor party to agree
to the single tax principle. They were
warmly received and DR.. McGlynn was
presented with u large floral harp dis
playing the words, 'tSoggarth Aroon.n
DR.. McGlynn said it was ~providential
that there had been no union with the
party of the west, for if a bare majority
had been secured there WOULD have been
acquired a large majority uNfnstructed in
the doctrines of the United Labor party
which would have caused trouble.
The candidate for president, Robert III.
Cowdry, of Illinois, DR.. McGlynn de-
scribed as n young man barely SO, but
possessed of q dignity beyond his years,
q man of character, family and some
little substance. 1t was1a hopeful sign,
discontinued, that a party is a party of
young men. 1t is the party of the future.
The Union Labor party convention was
remarkable for bald heads and gray hairs.
Our candidate for the vice presidency, H.
i. Wakefield, of Kansas, was a delegate
to the Union Labor party convention, but
like many he was a believer in the views
or our party, bu had associated himself
with the reformed party he had found in
The state in which he lived. He left his
convention in disgust.

Dillon. O'Brien and Sullivan Make Public
Protest.
DUBLIN, May 21.-An immense crowd
gathered in Phoenix park on the occasion
of the first of a series of meetings called
to protest against the papal rescript con-
demning 1.-THE plan of campaign MI.
John Dillon, Mr.. William O'Brien, ex-
Lord Mayor T. d. Sullivan ana Others
delivered addresses. Mr.. Dillon denied
that the rescript expressed simply a
moral doctrine. Rome would treat no
other country in Europe in the same way
1t had treated ireland. The Irish, he de-
clared, would neither submit nor bow to
the decree, but would show the world
that they were able to discern between
spiritual and political domains.
MIR. O'Brien said the present ordeal
was worse than twenty years of Bal
fourian coercion. The Irish had enemies
enough without receiving blows from
hands from which they least deserved
them. 1t was heart-breaking to think
that the name of Rome should be flung
into the teeth of the Irish, and o coura.
geous, respectful, yet firm protest against
1t was necessary.
Thu meeting comprised upwards Of
5000 persons, but included no priests.
The National manifesto against the pope's
decree was unanimously endorsed.

The Worlds Conference of the African
Methodist Church.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 2t.-The African
Methodist worlds conference had q
boisterous and exciting time during the
work over the election of four bishops.
The mode of election is of the most prim-
tive nature. A secret ballot is taken,
and no nominations made. Each dele
gate votes for four men whom he re-
CARDS as the best for the four new bishop.
RIGS. When the vote is counted, as many
candidates as get a majority OF all the
votes cast are elected, and If there are
NOT enough, another ballot is necessary.
The first ballot Saturday, when the count
bsgah, showed a wide choice for the
office. Before 1t was finished the number
Of names voted for had reached forty
two, but the contest was seen to be
among some half-dozen of the ~best-known
candidates. w. j. Games and w. b.
Arnett were at last elected bishops of the
african Methodist Episcopal church. At
o later ballot B. T. Tanner of Philadel-
phta and A. Grant Of Texas were
elected.

stations and on the steamboats,. The

said, is a pale, limp, bloodless, sapless

ATLANTA, Ca, May 21.--Judge speer,
in the United States district court, held
that decoy letters sent out to catch postal
officials are not such letters as the law
contemplates when it Furnishes those who
tamper with them, The case arose out
of the trial of Rudolph Demicke, a route
agent on the Central railroad between
Macon and Atlanta. The number of let
tiers tempered with on that run was SO
large that strict watch was instituted. A
decoy letter addressed to an imaginary
person in Atlanta was mailed in Macon.
AT GAINESVILLE, half along the road, a
postoffice inspector entered the car, ar
rested Demicke, and found the letter
with seal broken upon his person. When
the evidence vas all in Judge Spesr or
dered the jury to bring in u verdict OF
not guilty, as the bogus character Of the
letter affected tho entire proceeding.
This will break up a very common prac-
800 among the postoffice detectives.
