THE PLATFORM z
The Committee Resolutions was still at work
and the chairman called upon Roswell G.. Horr TO
address the Convention. Mr. Horr made brief and
pithy speech. in which he showed the results OF
three years OF Democratic misrue. and predicted the
success OF the nominee OF the St. Louis Convention
While he was speaking. Judge Buchanan arrived
with the report Of the Committee Resolutions
After apoogizing for the delay, he read the plat
form. which Is as follows:

adherence to the Republican policy OF protection

one All tie railroads ran excursion trains on which
the 800 delegates poured into the city from an
early hour. The streets crowded by the
delegates and large numbers Of enthusiastic Re-
publIcans who anxious to watch the pro-
ceedings. 1t pretty we'll understood who were
to be chosen as delegates-at-arge. the only ex-
cepton being the from the eastern part OF the
State, where Franklin Murphy and Elias S. Ward
candidates. Most Of the interest centred about
the selection In this case, as It became noised
about that the Essex County delegation tied.
Another subject which attracted attention was the
attitude which the convention would take in re-
spect to the Presidential candidates. 1t clear
that nearly every man in the crowd favored Nc
Kinley. The fakrs on the street corners did good
trade in Mckinley badges, American flags. and
buttons bearing that watchword of the Republican
party Of New-Jersey. Protection" On all hands
the populace expressed its hope that the State
delegation would be instructed in favor OF McKn-
ley. There only hitch in this rope Of
popular opinion. but that was a strong one. The
party leaders, knowing the FIRST desire Of the Re
pubcans Of New-Jersey to be to present the name
OF Garret A. Hobart, decided that instructions
would be unwise.- The decree was received with
more or less lmpatience. and every alluson the
floor to protection or Mckinley showed that senti-
ment was largely in favor Of an instructed dele
SENTIMENT FOR MKINLEY.
This feeling was displayed particularly when Sem
ator Stokes. the chairman, was making his ad-
dress Toward the end Of the speech. which was
exceptionally eloquent one. he referred to the
dearth Of Presidential material In the ranks Of the
Democracy. and of the large number of available
men in the Republican party. One by one. he al
luded to the various candidates. carefully avoid
ing mentioning the name Of any one Of them. but
speaking Of them In such a way that his audience
could not fail to understand whom he meant. Reed

The convention then proceeded to business. The
roll Of the counties called for the names OF MEM
bers OF the committees permanent organization,
resolutions credentials and rules. The chairman o.,
each delegation announced the persons chosen by his
colleagues. and. pending the reports OF these COM
mittees n recess ordered until o'clock.
The respite seemed to I'LL the delegates with vigor.
and when the session resumed there were In
dications that business was to be quickly done.
The first committee 10 report was that on Creden-
tials. which only had one contest to consider. The
committee reported In favor of seating L. NJ. Cond
of the Second District OF West Orange. 10 whom
credentials had been refused by the Essex County
Committee. The Committee on Permanent Organ
izaton next reported In favor Of making the tenn
porary organization permanent. and the Committee
on Rules submitted the rules OF the last State Con-
yenton.

cratic friends. They took alarm at the ever-in-
creasi2g surplus In the Treasury and warned us in
oisma6 tones that a surplus was dangerous thing
10 have around.
AN ERA OF ADVERSELY.
Almost in the twink.ing of eye the scene
changed. The Republican party went out Of power
and Democratic prosperity came in. 1t came with a
vengeance; 1t came with its silent machinery: it
came with It's empty workshops; II came with closed
mills II came with its Observation-Disclosures 1t with
It's vast army of the unemployed. II came with soup
houses; II came with assignments failures and
Sheriff sales; 1t came with the tariff bill. the like
Of which no man had before beheld. A bill
which even the Democratic President was ashamed
to sign. bill, which its puative father Wilson, OF
West Virginia. refused to acknowledge. especially
after German had ofclated as midwife at its birth.
a bill which Senator Hill. of NewYork. said a
ragbag measure. A bill which Mills. of Texas, said
did not please thousand people in the whole United
State bill. In fact. which everybody condemned.
except, perhaps. the London Board of Trade, but
which everybody conceded was the first and only
distinctively Democratic which the states
manshp Of that party had been able to successfully
formulate in the last thirty-four years.
Then we enjoyed period OF leisure. The wage
earners of the country went out vacation.
Cleveland and Democracy granted them respite
from work, giving them. In fact more holidays
than they had before enjoyed In the space
Of time. 1t rather expensive experience for
our people in general. But they had one consolation
In their adversity-they learned something. They
got some valuable information. and they can tell
you to-day more about the mysteries and the arts
OF the Democratic statecraft than they could four
years ago.
The finances Of this country too. like pretty much
everything else. took a vacation under this Demo-
cratic regime. The surplus in the Treasury. which

stored. Only for moment was the house in order.
for from unexpected quarter came the reverbera-
ton Of the Mckinley boom. This time II was Milton
Edgar Of Railway, who turned the guns OF elo-
quence the platform. Mr. Edgar's constituents
had instructed him for Mckinley, and he proposed
to voice his sentiments.
1T is fair" he sald "it is just. IT Is good poll
TICS for to express in resolutions preference
for a candidate l believe that there is no need to

solved, That recommend the name OF Mckinley
