Mr. Carroll said. four days after the Chi
cago convention, had cnbied that other
candidates must be named or the De-
mocracy was lost. Later he said he did
not want the honor. but that II no one
else could be found to take command, he
would not ask others to go where he
would not lead Now that others were
ready to accept, he preferred to do battle
In the ranks.
Some of the nominating speeches were
eloquent and fun Of fire. Kilbourne of
Michigan placed Senator Palmer in NOM
nation and there was a series of second
ing speeches. Burr w. Jones of Wiscon-
sin nominated General 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 stage and said they had
recognized from the first that Senator
Palmer was the man to lead the fight.
He was, he said, a platform in himself.
All his life he had fought fiatism, green
backism, free silver and other vagaries
But he had sealed their lips. After see
ing the temper of the convention, how
ever, he said. Illinois was compelled to
Join hands with her sister states in urg-
ing his nomination.
The roll call Immediately developed
An overwhelming majority in favor of
Senator Palmer, but it proceeded to the
end, Palmer receiving 757h votes and
Bragg 1241a. At its conclusion the COM
mander of the Iron brigade mounted a
chair, and in brief but graceful speech
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous. and pledged that he and
Wisconsin, in the coming battle, would
be where brave soldiers should always
be. nearest the flashing of the guns. He
was given three hearty cheers, and Gen
eral Palmer was declared the nominee
amid an enthusiastic. demonstration,
during which the state guidons were
carried about the hall in the wake of
the Illinois standard.
There was never any doubt about

r INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3-Perma-
nent Chairman Caffery appeared on the
stage at exactly IL o'clock, the hour to
which the Democratic gold convention
adjourned. At 11:38 Chairman Caffery
called the convention to order. Caffery
informed the convention that the COM
mittee on resolutions was not ready to
report, and begged patient indulgence
of few minutes. He hardly finished
his sentence before thousand voices
shouted for Breckinridge.
AT last Breckinridge rose He seemed
to hesitate, but was pushed along to-
ward the stage. Three thousand voices
were cheering. The hearing given him
was respectful and enthusiastic.
When he said it was charged that the
convention was here to elect Mckinley
and added that the free silver Demo-
Gratis had taken the job out of their
hands, the delegates and galleries went
Wild.
Breckenridge concluded with an elo-
quent peroration on the duty of patriots
to home and country.
After the demonstration had subsided
Mr. Ochs of Tennessee offered resolu-
ton expressing deep loss to the De-
mocracy felt in the death of Massachu-
sets ex-governor, William Russell
A suitable resolution was adopted by a
rising vote.
Judge Moran OF Illinois moved that
the convention invite w. D. Bynum Of
Indiana to address the convention, as
he had done more than any one else to
make 1t success. The motion was
adopted With whirl. and Mr.. Bynum's
appearance on the platform was re-
ce'ved with prolonged applause.
Mr.. Bynum spoke of the arduous labor
the preliminaries Of the convention had
entailed. and its great success seemed to

T. w. Lehman responded for Mis-

James o. Broadhead, but he declined
to permit the use of his name and Mis-
souri, was now for General Bragg.

nomination of that grey, grizzled vet

ade,' Edward S. Bragg"
The Bragg partisans followed Leh-
mans speech with prolonged cheering
When Nebraska was reached, C. S.
Montgomery rose.
Nebraska" he said, with slow, de-
Mberate emphasis, "has no candidate
to present to this convention. Nebraska
we think. has furnished one too many
candidates"
This drive at MI. Bryan was one of
the big hits of the convention. Fully
two minutes the delegates and galleries
cheered.
New Hampshire seconded the NOM
ination of Mr.. Palmer.
"Ohio, with her usual modesty, has
no candidate" was the reply from that
state, made by S. H. Holding. which
kindled q howl.
Mr.. L. L. Macarthur of Oregon, read
speech seconding General Bragg, but the
delegation was divided, and Zera Snow
of the same state, seconded Palmer's
nomination.
Tennessee. Vermont and Virginia fav-
ored Palmer
Hugh c. Wallace of Washington Sec
onded Palmer's nomination.
After the call of states had been COM
pleted, Illinois asked a hearing for Judge
Moran. He said that Illinios had re-
mained silent because their lips had been
sealed. They felt all along that John
M. Palmer of all other men was the
proper man. They had been forbidden
by the man, who was as modest as he
was great, to use his name, and now af-
ter observing the temper of the conven-
ton, Illinois would join in the demand
for his nomination.
A BALLOT TAKEN.
Chairman Caffery then ordered the
ballot to be taken.
When the call was completed Georgia
changed six votes from Bragg to Palmer.
Thereupon Gen. Bragg arose amid the
cheering of the convention. He mounted
a chair. There were cries for him to
take the platform, but the sturdy old
veteran shook his head. When order
was restored he thanked his state and
his followers, and then said he could do
himself no greater honor than to move
to make Gen. Palmer.s nomination
unanimous. He pledged the support of
himself and his\state to the ticket. He
would be found he concluded, where
men should always be in battle, nearest

minority report. Senator Villas then
read the platform, as follows:
This convention has assembled to up
hold the principles upon which depend
the honor and welfare of the American
people in order that the Democrats
throughout the union may unite in 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 for the individual consistent
with good government, to the preserva-
tion of the federal government in its
constitutional vigor and to the support
of the states in all their just rights; to
economy in public expenditures; to the
maintenance of public faith and sound
money; and it is opposed to paternalism
and all class legislation
The declarations of the Chicago con-
vention attacks the individual freedom,
the right of private contract, the inde-
pendence of judiciary and authority of
the president to enforce federal laws.
They advocate the reckless attempt to
ton; to the debasement of our monetary
standard and to threaten the unlimited
issue of paper money by the government
They abandon for Republican allies the
Democratic cause of tariff reform to
court the favor of the protectionists to
their fiscal heresy. In view of these and
other grave departures from Demo-
cratic principles we cannot support the
candidate of that convention nor be
bound by it's acts. The Democratic
party has survived many defeats, but
could not survive victory won in be-
half of the doctrine and policy pro-
claimed in its name at Chicago. The
conditions, however which make possi.
BILE such utterances for a national con-
Vention are the direct result of class
legislation by the Republican party.
1t still proclaims, as it has for years,
the power and duty of the government
to raise and maintain prices by law. And
1t proposes no remedy for existing evils
except the oppressive and unjust taxa
ton. National Democracy, here con-
vened, therefore renews its declaration
of faith in Democratic principles, espec-
tally as applicable to conditions of the
times. Taxation. tariff, excise or d.
rect, is rightfully imposed only for pub
Tic purposes, and not for private gain.
It's amount is justly measured by public
expenditures, which should be limited
py scrupulous economy. The sum de-
rived by the treasury from the tariff
ana excise levies is affected by the state

him almost q dream. And yet, he said,
1t was not surprising that a month
should suffice to raise up this great pro-
test against the treachery at Chicago.
He expressed the opinion that this con-
vention would not only preserve the
Democracy, but lift it to higher plane
than 1t had been before for twenty-five
years. The Democracy, he said, had
not always been honest with the people
or themselves. but they would have to
be honest in the future.
When Mr.. Bynum retired, Mr.. Eckels
of Illinois rose to announce the commit
tee on resolutions had agreed on plat
form and would report in a few minutes,
but the convention insisted or a speech
and he went to the platform. Mr. Eckels
is very effective speaker and his re-
marks were continually interrupted by
applause.
I'VE are not" he began, struggling
Tor the spoils of Office or moved by the
pride of public place. We are here to as
sert our rights
He described what he called the false
theory of finance abroad in the land,
feeding on discomfort. But" he con-
cluded, II thank God that there is in the
country sufficient pride in American
honesty, sufficient patriotism in Ameri-
can yeomanry, sufficient strength in the
American character to drive those hordes
from the spoils of office into slough of
despond where they will never again
bother the American public or foreign
powers with the question as to whether
we are a nation which pays our debts"
The platform committee was not yet
ready to report and there were cries for
Belmont and others. An effort was made
to take recess, but 1t failed.

In the air. Senator Villas made a speech
saying that the platform needed no ar
gument. He smilingly moved its adop-
tion and 1t was adopted by rising vote
A motion was made for recess but
the temper of the convention was not fol
delay. A motion of Mr.. Breckinridge
of Kentucky to proceed to the nomina-
tion of candidates to stand upon the ex-
cellent platform adopted was carried.
NOMINATIONS CALLED FOR.
Thereupon the roll call of delegates for
nominations was begun at 2:33o. Ala

egste Carroll, who is close frierE OF
Henry Watterson, might make a state
ment which would withdraw from con-
sideration the name of the Kentucky
editor. He paid tribute to Mr. Waiter
son, spoke of the efforts that had been
made to press him into the leadership of
this movement and said that there was
no lack of leaders, that Kentucky had
another man for the ticket (referring
to Buckner) that messages had been re-
ceived from Mr.. Watterson refusing to
serve and pledging Mr.. Wattersons sup
port to any candidate that the conven-
tion might select.
Arkansas deferred to Michigan, which
state sent to the platform Lemuel L.

cation to say that they were sent here
to put their seal of disapproval on a dol

hind it, and to condemn the combination
of Populists, so-called Democrats and
silvertes. He thought the man who
had been elected president of the United
