elected. He was unquestionably the choice
OF great majority of the democrats OF the
| country.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia: The
| platform is a clear, bold and aggressive
declaration of democratic principles. There
! is no straddlo in it. Mr.. Cleveland, as the
candidate of the united democracy will re-
ceive the solid vote of his party. Gov.
Flowers motion to make his nomination
| unanimous should convince the country
that the New York democracy fully ap-
preciates its responsibility and recognizes its
obligation to yield to the sentimenS Of the
majority. Mr.. Cleveland has nothing TO
fear from his late opposition 10 his own
state. ANY differences as TO who should be
our leader will now yield to the Importance
of the issues involved in the campaign.
Senator Morgan of Alabama: The plat

at Chicago.

said he thought Mr.. Cleveland was a strong
man and that the party would elect him.
Alabama would be true to the democracy
in the coming fight.
Representative Covert of New York:
The Tammany men will return to New

astic for the ticket. TammanY Is always
faithful to the democracy. Although it
aid not succeed in nominating Senator Hill,
it will give to Mr.. Cleveland its earnest and
hearty support. There are no traitors in
Tammany. Kings county will not be-
backward In rolling up a majority. Cleve-
land will carry New York.
LIvINGsroN's VIEWS.
Representative Livingston of Georgia (al-
liance) thought IL was a mistake for the
democratic convention to nominate MIR.
Cleveland for the reason that his views on
financial questions were very unpopular in
some sections of the country. The de-
mocracy would find it bark work to carry
the states Of North Carolina and South
Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and the two
Virginias for Mr.. Cleveland. The Dem
ocratio party, he believed, could have NOM
mated a ticket more universally accept
able to the masses; but as the nom
instion had been made the people would
rally to Its support and elect the
nominees If possible.
Representative Pierce of Tennessee re-
garded the platform as good with the ex-
ception OF the manner the silver question
was treated. In this respect the convention
had gone back on the party's record. Mr.
Pierce thought the ex-Prssidsnt would be
elected.
Representative Enloe OF Tennessee said
Mr.. Cleveland would be elected. Tammauy
Hall could not afford to knife him.
PUGH PLEASED.
Senator Pugh; The platform is the
most explicit declar alton of principles and
policies ever made by either party in a
national convention. The tariff plank elimi-
mates everything In public objects of taxa
ton except the single one to raise revenue
enough to support an honest government
No allusion is made to Mr.. Cleveland's
message or the Mills bill, or TO any adjust
menG or discrimination to secure protection
in any form. The currency plank Is
the most satisfactory to me of
any ever adopted in national convention.
First, the use of both gold and silver as the
standard money Of the country. Second,
coinage Of both gold and silver without dis
eliminating against either metal, or charge
for mintage. How would the addition of
the word free make the meaning any
clearer when coinage of both metals with
out discrimination is approved. Coin
age OF gold is free aud unlimited,
and II silver is not made so
by law there is discrimination in the coin
age in favor of gold. that the platform con-
dennis Third, the removal of the 10 per
cent. tax on the circulation of state banks
is approved. Fourth, all paper currency
must be redeemable in coin. The force bill
is the most vital and far-reaching issue be-
tween the two parties. 1t is squarely made,
and If the people are capable of self govern
| ment and are in earnest in their desire 10
promote our system Of free representative
government there can be no doubt of Mr..
Clevelands triumphant election. II the
force bill becomes a law the tariff reforms
and currency reforms will be out of the
reach OF the people.
