that the denomination Of Mr. Cleveland
for President gave official sanction TO what
had already been predetermined by the
people and was consummated by an en-.

conventions. The nomination Of Judge
Thurman for Nice-Prcsident was also
an act Of obedience 10 the pco.

sued four years ago.
No doubt any longer exists in the mind
OF any man as TO the purposes Of the Dem.
ocratic party toward the tariff. Whatever
doubt may have existed rs TO the meaning
OF any phrase OF that instrument is re.
moved by the declaration that the party
rciterates those declarations as interpreted
by the message OF Mr.. Cleveland and the
subsequent approval OF the action OF Dem
ocrats in Congress, who for four years
have labored 10 give force and effect 10
the promises OF 1884.
In the platform we have in words so
plain that he who runs may read. the faith
OF the Democratic party declared. II Is n
faith TO live and TO die by, not TO be
changed with changing times and fashions
rs one would change garment. but,
through good and evil report, in times OF
darkness and storm, or OF calm and peace,
II is one 20 stand by with courage and con.
siancy. IL touches every public question
fcarlcSly, intelligently, consistently. The
Democracy no longer hides in the dark
ness; IL stands forth brayely in that fierce
light that beats upon party committed TO
high purposes, and oontending in season
and out Of season for the faith once deliv-
cred TO the saint. II is the party Of pa
triotism and principles; the party OF peace,

Democrats who were answering onion
men, and many of those who had
in previous years given him hearty support
fell away from him. lie is now nut on
the ticket with the hope of calling to
the support Of Mr.. Cleveland the Bourbon
Democrats of the old school. II is an open
question whether he will or not, but that
his nomination will drive away from Mr.
Cleveland many Of the war Democrats,
who hate the name Copperhead, is certain.
Oi the platform the Inter OCEAN says: The
solemn truth is that the platform means
nothing at all as 10 the tariff. Il speaks
plainly only when il aflirms the ultimate
doctrine OF States rights. The meaning Of
the convention was surrender Of itself TO
the inevitable Cleveland, and his message
means free trade-not more, not less.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June THE Morning
Nous independently will say: Necessity
and sentiment were the parents of the
Democratic ticket completed by the nomi.
nation Of Allen G. Thurman for the vice.
presidency at st. Louis yesterday. Events
made Cleveland the nominee at It's head,
Us they have steadily advanced him from
the mayoralty Of Buffalo to his present
high Office. II is a singular piece Of good
fartune for the Democracy that couples
the name Of its most sentimental ideal
with that Of its imam OF destiny on the
ticket. About the political wisdom Of
nominating Thurman for the vice-prcsi.
dency, opinion may differ. Ills age Is the
one thing that can be urged against him.
But Humans mind is still strong, his
heart is still right, and his courage and
convictions rs true and fearless as ever
His name brings 10 the ticket n popularity
