PLATFORM REPORTED.
Declaration of Principles Received
With Hearty Cheers.

This convention has assembled to uphold
the principles upon which depend the honor
and welfare of the American people in order
that democrats throughout the. Union may
unite their patriotic efforts to avert disaster
from their country and ruin from their party.
The democratic party is pledged to equal
and exact Justice to all men of every creed
and condition: to the largest freedom of the
individual, consistent with good government;
to the preservation of the federal govern
ment in its constitutional vigor and to the
support Of the states in all their just rights;
to economy in the public expenditures; to the
maintenance OF the public faith and sound
money, and it is opposed to paternalism and
all class legislation.
The declarations of the Chicago convention
attack individual freedom, the right of pri-
vate contract, the independence of the ju-
dietary and the authority of the president to
enforce federal laws. The advocate a reckless
attempt to- increase the prive of silver by
legislation to the basement of our monetary
standard, and threaten unlimited issues Of
paper money by the government; they aban-
don for republican allies the democratic cause
of tariff reform to court the favor Of protec-
tionists to their fiscal heresy
In view of these and other grave departures
from democratic principles, cannot support
the candidate of that convention. nor be
bound by its acts The democratic party has
survived many defeats. but could not survive
a victory won in behalf of the doctrine and
policy proclaimed in its name at Chicago.
The conditions, however which make pos
sible such utterances from national conven-
tion ere the direct result of class legislation
by the republican party. 1t still proclaims az
it has for years, the power and duty Of the

practical currency assuring the most stable
standard. and especially the best and safest
money for all who earn livelihood by labor
or the product Of husbandry.
Ihey cannot suffer when paid in the best
money known to man, but are the peculiar
and most defenceless victims of a debased
and huctuating currency, which offers con-
tlnued profits to the money changers at their
cost.
Realizing these truths demonstrated by
long public inconvenience and loss, the dem
cratic party, in the interest of the masses
and of equal justice to all, pratictically estab-
lished by the legislation of 1884 and 1853 the
gold standard of monetary measurement. and
likewise entirely divorced the government
from banking and currency issues. To this
long established democratic policy we adhere
and insist upon the maintenance of the gold
standard, and of the party Herewith Of every
dollar issued by the government, and are
firmly opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and to the compulsory pur-
chase of silver bullin. But we denunce also
the further maintenance of the present costly
patchwork scheme of national paper currency
constant source of injury and jeril.
I'VE assert the necessity of such intelli-
gent currency reform, as will confine the gov
ernment to its legitimate functions complete
ly separated from the banking business, and
afford to all sections Of our country uni
form, safe and elastic bank currency, under
government supervision, measured in volume
by the needs of business.
"The patriotism, fidelity and courage with
which President Cleveland has fulfilled his
great public trust, the high character of his
administration its wisdom and energy in the
maintenance Of civil order and the enforce
ment Of laws, Its equal regard for the rights
of every class and every section, its firm and
dignifed conduct Of foreign affairs and its
sturdy persistence in upholding the honor and
credit of the nation are fully recognized by
the democratic party and will secure to him
place in history beside the fathers Of the
Republic.
We also commend the administration for
the great progress made in the reform Of the
public service, and we indorse its effort to
extend them crit system still further. We
demand that no backward step be taken but
that the reform be supported and advanced
until the undemocratic spoils system of ap-
pontments shall be eradicated.
We demand strict economy in the appropria-
tions and in the administration Of the gov
ernment.
We favor arbitration for the settlement os
International disputes. We favor q liberal
policy of pensions to deserving soldiers and
sailors Of the United States.
The supreme court of the United States was
wisely established by the trainers of our con-
stitution as one of the three coordinate
branches of the government. Its independ-
ence and authority to interpret the law Of
the land without fear or favor must be main
tanned.
We condemn all efforts to defame the tribu-

var Buckner, of Kentucky, two white
haired veterans of the war. rival com
manders of the blue and gray. were
nominated, today by the National
Democratic party for president and
vice president respectively, on a brief
but emphatic platform which repudi-
ates the doctrines enunciated by the
Chicago convention, indorses President
Cleveland and his administration in
glowing terms, declares for the gold
standard, tariff for revenue only liberal
shipping laws, currency reform, civil
service and economy in public expend-
itures. The spirit that animated the
convention was contained in this de-
claration of the platform:
The Democratic party has survived
many defeats but it could not survive
victory, won in behalf of the doctrine
and policy proclaimed in it's name at
Chicago.
Now, in the language of Mr..
Hammond, of Louisiana, this conven-
ton has placed in the hands of other
nominees their banner and bade them
fling it forth "skyward and seaward
high and wide.'
The real work of the convention was
soon transacted when it was reached
but the delay in reporting the platform
gave opportunity for a series of elo-
quent and stirring speeches. The at
tendance was larger than on yester-
day and the enthusiasm was great.
Col. w. G. P. Breckinridge, the famous
Blue Grass orator, Dewitt G. Warner,
of New York; H. A. Hammond, of
Georgia; F. w. Lehman, of Missouri:
w d. Bynum, of Indiana, and Con-
troller of the Currency Eckels, of Ill
inois, were in turn called to the stand
and stirred the enthusiasm to a high
pitch.
When the platform was at last
brought in, shortly before o'clock,
after the convention had been in ses-
sion three hours, it was read amid an
almost continuous storm of applause
and was adopted unanimously without
word of debate
When the nominations for president
were called for, it was apparent that
Palmer would be nominated over his
protest, as the opposition to Bragg had
concentrated upon him. These two
names were the only ones presented
to the convention. 1t was known that
message from President Cleveland
had reached the convention that he
could not entertain for a moment the
suggestion of his own nomination, and
his decision was at once accepted as
final. Before the states were called

M. Walker, of the Grand Army Of tba

annual encampment of that great order
at the st. Paul auditorium yesterday
morning.
The days work of the delegates was
not prolific of any results of great i'm
portance, except in the selection of A
place of meeting in 1897, and the matter
Of pensions.
Bufalo, N. Y, was the choice of the
encampment for next year, the vote
being unanimous. Denver presented a
cordlal invitation, but seeing that her
chances We're slim, withdrew and gen
erously gave Buffalo the support Of her
delegates.
Inc annual address of the commands
er-ln-chief was presented and was re-
ceived with applause. The committee
on pensions presented a lengthy re-
port favoring the passage of the pen
sion bill now before the United States
senate, and passed during the last ses-
sion OF congress by the house of rep
resentatiyes.
A report of the Woman's Relief Corps

surprising that month should suf-
fice to raise up this great protest
against the treachery at Chicago He
expressed the opinion that this conven-
ton would not only preserve the dem
ocracy, but lift it to a higher plane,
and make it a nobler organization
than 1t had been for rs years. The
democracy had, he said, not always
been honest with the people or them
selves, but they would have to be hon
est in the future.
When Mr.. Bynum retired, Mr.. Eckels,
OF Illinois, arose to announce that the
committee on resolutions had agreed
on a platform, and would report in
few minutes, but the convention insist
ed upon a speech. Mr.. Eckels is an
effective speaker and his remarks were

lead. Now that others were ready to
accept he preferred to do battle in the
ranks.
Kilbourn, Of Michigan, placed Sena-
tor Palmer in nomination, and there
was series of seconding speeches.
Burr w. Jones, of Wisconsin, nomi-
mated Gen. Bragg. .'The hero of fifty
battles and the commander of the Iron
Brigade" Illinois waited until all the
other states had been called, then
Judge Moran, of Chicago, took the
stand and said they had recognized
from the first that Senator Palmer was
sealed their lips. After seeing the
temper of the convention, however,
he said Illinois was compelled to join
hands with her sister states In urging
his nomination.
The roH call Immediately developed
the overwhelming majority in favor
of Senator Palmer, but it proceeded
to the end, Palmer receiving 7571a
votes and Bragg 1241a. At its conclu-
sion the commander of the Iron Bri-
gade mounted a chair and in a brief
but graceful speech moved that the
nomination be made unanimous, and
pledged tht he and Wisconsin, in the
coming battle, would be where brave
soldiers should always be, nearest the
three hearty cheers and Gen. Palmer
was declared the nominee amid an
enthusiastic demonstration, during
which the state guidons were carried
about the hall in the wake of the
standard of Illinois.

president, except while his nomina-
tion was being talked of for president

of applause. When Gen. Buckner, of
Kentucky, entered. the convention rose
to its feet and gave him three cheers.
The enthusiasm created by his en-
trance had not subsided when the
crowd caught sight of the striking
head and shoulders of Col. Breckin-
ridge, as he elbowed his way to his seat
in the Kentucky delegation. Imme-
diately cries of Breckenridge, Breck-
