The Illinois Democracy De-
 CjdreS for Hearst
A WILD CONVENTION
It Ran Away With Both Harrison and Hearst and Candidates for State Offices Withdrew, Declining to Re- CoSnize It as a Democratic Body.

Springfield, H., June 14.-The demo- cratic state convention today nominat- ed a full state ticket and instructed the delegates to the national conven- ton to vote for William Randolph Hearst as long as his name remains be- fore the convention.
 The Harrison party, which came sole ly from Chicago and was pledged 70 support Congressman James R. Will Hams. was routed completely. Carter Il. Harrison was unseated as delegate. and took the the tIain for home with out going near the convention. Both his faction and the Hearst party were as nothing compared to the strength and skii,ful management of the cOnven- ton exhibited by John P Hopkins. Mir Hopkins will continue to be chairman of the state central committee.
 The report of the committee on cre- dentials simply said: We believe everything done Sby the state central committee in seating and unseating de- legates was just and proper, and We recommend that it's work be endorsed" The report was adopted, Chairman Quinn refusing the demand of the liar rison and Hearst delegates for a roll call.
 William Prentiss of Chicago, who was q candidate for governor, advanced to the front of the platform and declared Dassionately that he desired nothing from the convention, which did rot. in his opinion, represent the democracy of Illinois, and he wished for nothing at its hands. T decline to have my name submitted to this convention in anv manner" he shouted. and walked of the platform, followed by the cheers of the Hearst delegates.
 William C. Crolius, of Joliet, followed in a brief speech endorsing the stand taken by Mir. Prentiss and also with drew his name from the convention. Then came another long wait during which the widest confusion prevaiIe q on the floor, and several fist fights took Ilace between the delegates.
 The platform points to the recent revelations of corruption in the post office department at Washington, to the depleted treasury, shown by the last treasury statement at Washington: to inc failure of the attorney general to prosecute illegal trusts and comDina- lions and the promoters thereof b. criminal action; 10 the refusal of con- gress to reduce the tariff tax on those articles which enable illegal trusts and combinations to plunder the people, and to the fact that the attorney general left it to a private citizen, at a large expense, to uncover the coal trust, as proving the truth of the above charges against the republican, party"
 Woman suffrage was also approved. Other declarations of the platform are as fellows: We demand that all the departments of the government recog-
 nize and act upon the doctrine that the constitution follows the flag in Porto Rico and the Philippine islands or el
 that they are free and independent, go that the true glory of our country shall not be tarnished by the exercise of des- potic power, and by denying to a help less people a republican form of gov ernment.
 We point to the growth of trusts | and monopolies as one of the evil re- suits of the ascendency of of the Gepub- lican party at Washington. If the peo- pie do not speedily dominate, regulate and control these trusts, the trusts will permanently dominate and control the government and continue indefinitely { to levy eXactions upon the people.
 We submit that the republican party | itself controlled by trusts, cannot safe | ly be relied upon to curb the trusts, and we demand that the government be | taken out of the hands of the friends of monopoly and restored to untrammeied | representatives of the people,"
