THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Up to Thursday night, our latest
news, the Chicago convention had only
progressed far enough to adopt a plat
torn and place in nomination Allison,
AIger, Gresham and Sherman. AS
here are about twice that number yet
to be named, it is probable bailoting
did not begin until Yesterday afternoon.
The platform declares:
We reafirm our devotion to the na-
tiOnal constitution and to the union OF
the states, to the autonomy reserved
to the states under the constitution, to
the personal rights and liberties OF citi-
zens in all the states and territories In
the union, and especially to the gu
preme and sovereign right of every
lawful citizen, rich or poor, native or
foreign born, white or black, to cast
one free ballot IN public elections and
10 have that ballot duly counted. We
hold the free and honest popular ballot
and the just and equal representation
Of vii the people to be the foundation
of our republican government and de-
mand effective legislation to secure the
integrity and purity of elections, which
are the fountains of all public author
lily. We charge that the present adj
lninistration and the democratic major
ity in congress owe their existence to
the suppression of the ballot by Il crim-
Iinal qualification OF the constitution
and laws of the united states.
We are uncOtnpromisingly in favor
of the American system of protection .
The republican party would effect all
