without amendment, and twenty min
utes later the convention adjourned.
The platform adopted, after congrat-
ulating the country and the Democratic
party on the nomination of Grover
Cleveland and Adlai T.. Stevenson for
President and Vice President, pledges
them its hearty support and commends
the honest faithful, and economical
administration Of Gov. Edwin b.
Winans. 1t says the civil authorities Of
the State are the constitutional conserv-
ators of the peace, and that the military
should only be called into requsition in
cases of great emergency, and then
only as aids and subordinates 10 the
civil authorities. 1t denounces the en-
ployment by private individuals and
corporations of armed bodies of men,
no matter under what pretense, as
menace to the peace and welfare OF the
country and States, and the enactment
of laws TO the end that Pinkertonism
and kindred organizations may be rele-
gated to obscurity and disgrace. 1t de-
nources the Mckinley tariff as the cul-
minating atrocity of class legislation.
