Ing national convention Will meet the
silver question with courage and justice,
and evolve a plan that will establish an
equality between gold and silver and
make the dollar in name a dollar in
fact.''
The committees were announced and
recess taken.
On reconvening the temporary organi-
cation was made permanent.
The Committee on Platform was given
more time.
The following State ticket was NOM
mated: Secretary of State-W. a. Tay-
lor. Supreme Judge, long term-J ohm z.
Thomas Beer. Clerk OF Supreme Court
w. II. Wolfe.
The platform as finally reported de-
clares in favor OF tariff for revenue only,
denounces the Mckinley law, declares
the high tariffs imposed by certain Euro
pean nations on American grain and
meat were done in retaliation for our high
tariff, and demands the Immediate modi-
tication Of the tariff by Congress in order
to secure the free admission of our agri-
cultural products abroad.
The silver plank is as follows: The
Democratic party has always favored the
use of both gold and silver as money,
and restored to the people the silver dol
lar of our fathers which a Republican
Congress demonetiZed In 1873. The Sher-
man Act of 1890 is denounced as false in
principle and dangerous in practice, and
believing both gold and silver should
circulate as money with parity MAIN
tanned, and with equal rights and equal
value, we submit to the wisdom of the
Democratic party about TO assemble in
National Convention to declare method
by which that end may be reached"
The platform declares the last Republi-
can national victory was achieved by the
expenditure of 81, 100000 in pivotal States,
not as result of protection.
Following were placed in nomination
for delegates-at-large: A. w. Thurman,
L. L. Neal, Calvin S. Brice, Robert Blee,

clamatlon, but this was objected to and
the motion was withdrawn.
On the first ballot Brice, Campbell and
Neal were declared nominated, and
second ballot was ordered for the fourth
man.
Thurman and McMahon withdrew, and
on the second ballot Blee was nominated

HOW THE HILL MEN WILL WORK.
NEW YORK, June ia prominent
Iammany man is quoted as saying to-
day: "Tammany is loyal to Hill, but
every one is in doubt as to the feelings of
tWo-tGlrdS of the delegates. Cleveland is
certainly beaten, but the question is, Can
Hill get the necessary 500 votes? We
think he has chance and the effort of the
New York men will be to concentrate all
opposition to Cleveland on Hill. A few
ballots will suffice 10 show whether this
plan can be made feasible. 1t can be said
positively that no one has been picked
out as second choice. German, for many
reasons, is a favorite with New York
Democrats, but no move has been made
by which he is to receive their votes. AS
for Whitney and Flower, they are not the
candidates of this State. Hill is the only
one"

mating Cleveland.
WILMINGTON (Del.), June 15.-It seems
assured that ex-senator Bayard will pre-
sent the name of United States Senator
Gray at Chicago for the Presidency.
Bayard is Cleveland man, but he fears
that Cleveland may be unable TO get the
nomination, or if he does, may be beaten.
| SENATOR HILL WON'T GO TO CHICAGO.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Hill
