publican state convention to-day nominated

ton, but changes before the vote was an
nounced carried him through. and then the
nomination was made by acclamation.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform denounces the manner in
which the democratic pledges as to a free
ballot in many Of the states is broken, and
insists that henceforth the right to a free
ballot shall be observed, so far as it Is
within the power of the federal government
to effect that object. 1t renews the declara-
tions in favor of the most rigid exclusion OF
Chinese from this country, and urges that
such restriction be made permanent. The
course of Speaker Reed is indorsed, and the
platform says
1--WE repudiate the claim of the right OF
any number of members Of congress to in
terrupt and delay its business by refusing to
vote when required, and we rejoice that the
speaker and other members of the republi-
can House have been able to destroy the
pretense that members can be present and
absent at the same time"
HARRISON INDoRSED.
The platform commends the administra-
tion Of President Harrison and the course
pursued by Secretary Blaine in relation to
the Behring sea controversy, favors pension
legislation. an eight-hour law aud the en-
actment Of a stringent law against pools
and trusts. 1t also declares that
sin the interest of the agricultural and
the other industries of the countrv
we indorse the action of the republican
members of congress in the passage of what
is known as the silver bill, and that we
favor a proper increase of the currency of
the country to the extent demanded by it's
business" The reading of the clauses of
the platform referring to Speaker Reed and
silver legislation occasioned much applause

Platform Adopted.

Hogg Nominated for Governor and a
Platform Adopted.
GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 13.-The state
democratic convention, in session at San
Antonio to-day, nominated James Hogg for
governor. He had no opposition in the con-
ventiop.
The platform declares: "The government
of the United States has only the powers
expressly given in the constitution of the
United States and amendments, and we
believe that the perpetuity of the union
constituted by said constitution and
its amendments, consistently with popular
liberty and the blessing of self-government,
can be secured only by jealous confinement
of the federal government in all depart
ments to legitimate and economical exercise
of the powers so expressly conferred upon
it. On this principle we oppose tariff duty
for any other purpose than for revenue.
AGAINST THE ALLIANCE SCHEME.
"We oppose the collection and dlstribu-
ton by the federal government of money in
aid of the educational system OF the several
states, or any of them, or in the way OF the
advancement or loan to any citizens or class
upon any sort of security, whether govern
ment bo ds or commercial bonds, farm or
other products.
"We oppose the election law recently
passed by the republican House of Repre-
sentatives, and condemn all the recent en-
croacnments by the federal judiciary upon
the power of the states.
I'm a free representative government
there is no room for life tenure Of office
Such tenure is born Of arbitrary and ire
sponsible power. Therefore, we favor an
amendment to the constitution limiting the
tenure of all public offices TO reasonable
term of years.

national bank system, and demand the
adjustment thereof as soon by law as the
Same can be done.

A JOB PUT UP ON REED.
Republicans See a New Way to Pre-
vent a Quorum.

vent a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Reedism is to
be tested in a new way in the House, and by
the republicans, too. The republican oppo-
nents of the compound lard bill, headed by
MIR. Mason of Chicago, propose TO go out
into the republican cloak-room or into the
corridor behind the speakers chair II neces-
sary to break quorum to defeat the con-
sideration of the bill on the three days the
committee on rules under Speaker Reeds
direction has determined to give to it. Mr.
Morgan of Mississippi will in the first place
antagonize the lard bill in the name of the
farmers alliance with the bill to prohibit
dealing in options, which the committee on
rules, under Speaker Reeds direction, have
refused TO give day.
READY TO FILIBUSTER.
If the House will not give at least the
first two days of the three to options the
opponents Of the lard bill, led by Mr. Ma
son, will filibuster. Speaker Reed will at
tempt to call a quorum, but after having
answered to their names on the call of the
House, Mr.. Mason and fifteen other repub-
hcans will go out of the House, though not
really out of the chamber, AMI will wait to
see whether Speaker Reed will fol-
low personally or by the sergeant alarms.
They claim that as they will be within the
precincts of the House they cannot be ar
rested as absentees, and yet, inasmuch as
they will be out of Speaker Reeds sight,
he cannot count them present for quorum
purposes.

STRIKE OF THE MAOHINIsrs.
The Westinghouse Company Bound
to Fight 1t Out.

PITTsBURG. Aug. 13.-Additional interest
has been given to the machinists' strike as
being the first of a similar movement to
sweep over the country, and by the fact
that the Westinghouse interests are bitterly
fighting the move. Two plants of this
company will start up Monday with as
many men as they can get. Both the
machine and electric plants have been
lying idle, and the managers now claim
that they will be able to start with new and
a portion of the old men on the basis of less
pay if Iess hours are worked. With the
concession to the machinists to-day of nine
hours work for ten hours pay by the Key
stone Bridge Company, which is associated
with the Carnegie company and the
Walker Bridge Company, nearly all OF
the large firms have conceded the demands
Of the men except the great West
inghouse company. The concessions made
by the other companies have not influenced
this concern, and they reiterated their posi-
tive decision tod y Of niEe hours work Tor
nine hours pay aud no more This firm en-
ploys 1000 men, and Of those $500 have
struck and remain firm.
