PENNSYLVANIA STATE CONVENTION.
HARRISBURG, Pa. > May 23.--The DEM
ocratic State Convention, to select Dele.
gates-at-Large to the National Conven-
ton, Presidential electors and candi-
date for the Supreme Court, met in the
| Opera House at 10 A. M. The indications
| are that the proceedings will be rather
tame, owing to the withdrawal this morn
ing of Congressman Speer from the con-
| test for Delegate-at-L Large, thereby
smoothing the way for Congressman
Scott's programme to send himself ex-
Congressman Boyle, ex-Congressman
Mutchlers, and x-Attorney-General Cas-.
sidy at the head of the delegates to st,
Louis. After the election of temporary
| officers and the appointment OF commit
| tees, the Convention took recess till 2
| O'Clock.
| The Committee on resolutions held
meeting Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Convention. Congressman
Storm at once offered set of resolutions
one of which, relating to the tariff, de-.
clared revision OF the tariff laws neees-
sary with a view to their simplification
the correction of their incongruities and
inequalities the regulation OF duties in
such q manner rs will put American in
dustry on firm and permanent basis,
covering the difference of wages in
this country and in foreign countries;
the abolition OF taxes on raw material for
the manufacturer, and the relief OF the
people from useless and onerous taxes
and from the extortion OF all trusts and
monopolies controlling the prices of COM
merce on the necessaries of life. A
hearty and emphatic endorsement is
given to the recommendations ofPresident
Cleveland's last annual message to Con-
gress. A recommendation was made to
Congress to pass promptly the Revenue
bill reported from the Committee on
Ways and Means.
The resolutions urges the Democratic
representatives in Congress from Pennsyl-
vania to give it their earnest and un-
divided support.
Saunders, OF Philadelphia. offered
substitute for the tariff section OF Storms
proposed platform. The substitute re-
aflirms the principles of the Democratic
platform OF 1885, and endorses the Presi-
dents message. 1t made no mention of
the Mills bill. After an extremely lively
debate the substitute was defeated. 1t
received only two or three votes and the
Storm resolution was adopted and ordered
reported to the Convention as the plat
form.
The Convention was again called to
order at 2 so and William A. Wallace
was made permanent President. At the
conclusion of his address the platform y
was presented and adopted. l.
Besides the planks above mentioned
there is plank that declares that the
public lands must be reserved for actual /
settlement by citizens, and no further III.
grants must be made to aliens on any 4
account whatever The Republican
party is arra;gned for its past policy in
this respect and the Democratic admin e
