q tive-minute peech, and on motion OF
Don nj. Dickinson, q recess was taken
till P. NJ.
Soon after the evening session began
the committee on resolutions presented
its report, which was read by Senator
Villas. A tumult of cheering rose at
the mention of the names of Madison
and Cleveland in conjunction, which
lasted for some moments, and was re-
newed when attempts were made to
cause counter demonstrations in favor
OF other names. At the close of the
reading Mr.. Neal, of Ohio, presented
q minority report on the paragraph re-
latlng to the tariff. The minority Of
fered the following substitute:
We denounce the Republican system of
protection as fraud-the labor Of the
great majority of American people for the
benefit of the few. Cheers.
We declare it to be a fundamental prin-
ciple of the Democratic party that the fed
eral government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff duties,
except for the purposes of revenue only,
and we demand that the collection of such
taxes shall be limited to the necessities OF
the government when honestly and eco
nomically administered.
Then followed q livelv debate, prin-
cipally by Henry Watterson for and
Senator Villas against the substitute. A
call of states resulted in the adoption OF
the substitute by vote of 564 t6 342.
An amendment was offered to the para
graph on the silver question by Mr..
Patterson, Of Colorado, but it was de-
clared lost without division. The
platform was then adopted.

dent. Gov. Albeit, Of New Jersey,
