Z. T. Clendenin. This was the ticket
nominated by the Democratic conven-
ton. and the party indorsed the national
administration only ST. far as its actions
have cOincided with the platform of the
Chicago convention. This Endorsement
was the outcome Of bitter fight waged
III the meeting of the platform COM
mltIee ny Congressman Fithian against
the administration. The fight for a
time threatened TO result in minority
and a majority report. The struggle
ended in complete victory for Fithlan,
who made the committee yield to him
everything he asked in the way Of
financial planks in the platform before
he and his following would consent to
the Endorsement of the administration
as it appears in the platform. The ad-
ministration Democrats were not strong
enough to secure a

without sacrificing great deal to get
ii. Mayor John P. Hopkins. of Chicago,
and eX-Congressman Ben T. Cable were
the TWO men who ran the convention,
and they carried there man to victory in
spite of an exceedingly heavy country
vote against him. McVeagh's nomina-
ton did not take well with many of the
country delegates, bnt he gained con-
siderable strength by his address before
the convention. Many of the delegates
had not seen him at all and his personal
address removed all oil the evil impress
sions which his enemies had strenu-
ously circulated against him. There
was no conflict wDatever over the
offices, and all of the candidates went in
by reclamation. 1t was nearly 1880
O'Clock today when the convention was
called 10 order. Owen Scott was named
as temporary chairman, and delivered a
speech of some length.
Committees were then appointed, and
the convention took recess until 2:3O
O'Clock. When the convention met
again the temporary organization was
made permanent, and it Was decided to
proceed at once to the nomination of a
Candidate for United States senator.
The name of General John Z. Black was
presented by w. A. Vincent, of Chi
cago.
FRANKLIN MACvEAGu
was placed in nomination by A. W.
Green, of Chicago. Senator Nieha us,
OF Peoria, placed in nomination Judge
Worthington, OF Peoria. James Craig,
of Mattoon, nominated Andrew j.
Hunter, of Paris. This closed the nomi-
nations and the convention proceeded
to vote. They all proceeded rapidly,
the majority of the country vote going
to Black. The ballot resulted as fol-
lows: MacVeaxh. SCI: Black, 1854;
Hunter. 80; WOrthingtoli, 46; Morrison,
~; Cable, 2; and on notice of Judge
Vincent, the nomination OF Mr.. Mac
Veagh was made unanimous. The
nominations for state officers were then
made Without contest as given above.
In response to many calls, Mr.. Mac
Veagh then came forward and made a
speech. lie paid a graceful compliment
to his defeated rival. Gen. Black. He
pledged himself 10 work heartily for the
success OF the party, and promised to
stand by the principles of the Demo.
cratic party without reservation. He
declared himself a believer in slow
but constant approach toward free
trade. On the money question. he as
serted himself as a bimetalliSt Of the
most violent type, and opposed to Mono

Mac Veagh spoke for nearly thirty min
had his hearers more with him than
when he began. He was frequently
interrupted by shouts of approval, and
on the whole made an excellent impress
sion upon the country delegates.
At the conclusion of Mr.. MacVeagh's
address the
PLATFORM WAS READ.
1t reaffirmS allegiance to the platform
of 1892: protests against the doctrine of
their opponents that governments
should take care OF the rich. and tue
rich will take care of the poor; and pro-
claim in the language of stheir founder
their belief i'll wise and frugal govern
ment which shall leave them otherwise
TO regulate their own pursuits of indus
try and Improvement, and which shall
not take from the mouths of labor the
bread it has earned. We indorse the
action of President Cleveland and the
public services of all Democrats in exec
utiye and legislative stations in all
things they have done to give force and
effect to the principles OF the party as
laid down by the Chicago convention of
1892. and we condemn the contemplate
parlisaushlp which seeks to prolong for
party advantages that period Of financial
depression and unrest which has been
the direct outcome OF Republican legls-
lation and profiigate expenditures ana
extravagant notions OF the Republicans
leaders.
They demand that congress shall car
ry out the will Of the people OF the
United States as expressed in the last
presidential election. by passing an eff
cient bill to reform tariff taXations: that
the country shall enjoy the benz cent
results OF that action without fur Their
delay.
