 Harrisburg, Pa., June 27.-The dele gates to the democratic state conyen- ton were rather slow in arriving, and 1t was l2;l0 p. m. when State Chairman stranahan rapped for order The opera house was prcttlly decorated with flags and bunting, and the upper galleries were well filled with enthusiastic spec tators. Robert F. Wright was made temporary chairman. In the platform which was adopted Is the following;
 We declare that the consistent, cour- ageous and the infexible determination of a democratic president to maintain the credit of the government terminated n financial panic, restored confidence and composed disturbed values. We are opposed to the reckless imitation of the currency to $40 per capita demand ed by the republican state conventions of 1898 and 1894; and while we favor the circulation of constitutional money, gold ani silver at a parity of value, we are unaltGrably opposed to any debase- ment of the currency or to the depre- citation of any dollar issued by the gov ernment to the people.
 We heartily approve the upright and sagacious administration of President Cleveland, which has fulfilled the pledges of his party and has satisfied the expectation of the people.
 We deplore all differences between employer and employe, and we depre- cate the resort to force for the settle ment of questions that should be deter mined by peaceful arbitrament. We recognize the right of every citizen to be protected in free enjoyment of his property and of the privilege to work when, for whom and at what wages he will. It Is the duty of the state to main- tain for him that right. The highways of the commonwealth should be open to all who lawfully traverse them and the path to proper employment should not be obstructed by any unauthorized power.
 None the less we condemn the insins cerity and inconsistency of those who clamor loudly for protection to Ameri- can industries and yet seek. every occa- sion and lose no opportunity to sup plant 1t with cheap imported pauper la- bor. We denounce the hypocrite who
 Co nf the condition of the American working men and yetsdisplaces and evicts them for aliens ignorant of our laws and for eign to our institutions. We stand for the rigid Enforcement of all the laws of the commonwealth, enacted to protect the lives and preserve the health of wage-earners and to secure for them the prompt and regular payment of their wages in money of undiminished purchasing power.
 . We reassert the old democratic doc ty; we are opposed to all organizations which strike at freedom of conscience; and we declare that no party can justly be deemed national, constitutional or in accordance with American principles which is animated by a spirit of polit- ical prescription or religious intoler- ance.
 The following was also submitted and adopted: -.
 "The convention sincerely deplores the death of the president of the French republic and desires to emphasize its sympathy with the endeavor to perpet- uate democratic principles in foreign lands, and it hereby condemns all tend ency to anarchy and assassination"
