The National Temper- ance society circulated a memorial to the con- ference asking it to “Take cognizance of the aleoholic liquor traffic” and requesting that it would not endorsa the “‘saloon plank” of the democratic platform, which says “‘we oppose sumptuary laws, which vex citizens and inies- fera with individual liberty,” THE NOTABLES, Among the prominent members of the inde- pendent party present wera Carl Schurz, Clarence W. Brown, Benjamin _H. Bristow, W. C. Beech, and Francis C. Barlow. The members of the independent executive com- mittee of Massachusetts were all prezent. cURTIS. The appearance of George William Curtis on the platform evoked cheers and applause. Curtis called the conference to order near noon and welcomed the delegates. He read the call for the conference, and when he reach- ed that portion which related to republicans “‘who will not vote for Blaine and Logan,” he was interrupted by hearty applause. CHABLES 8, CODMAN, was elected president. A list of the viee presidents aud of the enrollment committee was read including Carl Schurz, General Bar- low, and C, J. Bonaparte, of Maryland, The nominees were all elected, Colonel Codman made au address in which he said: “¥You confer a great henor upon me in choosing me to provide over the deliberas tions of not a body of office holders, but of citizens, whose only desire is for the good of the whole country.” We have decided to cast aside party affillations for the time being. The nomination of the republican party is an insult to Americanmanhood, Blaine had not cleaned his record from the charges tha: he used his public office for private gain, and we fear ha will continue his usual method; that he will provano deadhead in auy enter: prise he may embark in. We make no charges against bis private character, but Blaine is not fit to be president of the United States, ‘There is no great issue clearly defined between the two parties, 5o that we have to confine ourselves to the question of the fitness of the candidates, The speaker was frequently ap- plauded, In continuing his address, Codman declared that the issues of war were closed, and said: “We want & man who is incorruptible; and if he be able and energetic, 5o much the better.” He declared that the present governor of the state of New York was such a person, ‘When Codman concluded, Schurz moved that a committes be appointed t) act on reso- lutions and an address, Carried, OTHERS FOR CLEVELAND, Theodore Liyman, of Brooklyn, declared the peoplo wanted an honorable and able man for the presidency and he believed that Grover Cleveland was such a_person. Thomas Bacon, of New Haven, eaid the in- devendent movement had grown to enormous strength. It had twice defeated Blaine in convention, and now hoped to defeat him out- side the couvention, Col. Thomas W, Higginson said he severed all allegiance, for the time being, to the party to which he had belonged since its birth, ow- ing to the character of the nominees this year., Recess was taken. When the conference reassembled, the sec- retary made a statement in regard to letters received by the new committe from citizens in yarious states “‘from Maine to California,” Mr. Quimby, New Jersey, said to save the republican party, BLAINE MUST HE BEATEY, and that for every democrat in New Jersoy who would vote for Blaine ther were five re. publicans who would vote for Cleveland. F. Claflin, of Tliinois, said there was a ver strong Cleviland clemont amoug the republi. cans in the west, President Seeley, of Amherst, said he was not prepared to join the democrats. but was in favor of haviog @ separate candidate, He also made a plea for temperance principles, The committes on permanent organization recommended that & national committea shonld be appointed aud the chair appointed the following: THE NATIONAL COMMITTER, From New§York—Carl Schurz, Theadore Bacon, John H, Cowing, Charles’ B. Miller, R. P. Bowker, George W, Folson, Ethan Al len Daly, George Walton Gireen and Horace ¥. Deming. From Massachusetts —William H. Forbes, Joseph Tucker, Joseph H. Walter, Samuel Toar.

Bimeon Huntington and W, G, Peckl From Pennsylvania—F. B, Reeves, Stowart ‘Woods and Joseph Parrish. OChairman Codman and Mr. Claftn, from Illinois, were added to the committee. 8 Carl Schurz, in behalf of the committes on esolutions, said there was no intention to make platform for the new party, but only an appeal for the government. sge W, Curtis then read tho address, which is as as follows: THE PLATFORM OF THR PURE, The following s the platform adopted: The paramount fssue of the presidential election of this year is moral rather than politicsl: it concerns the national honor and the character and honesty of the administration rather than general policies of government, upon which the plattorms of the two do not essen tially differ. No position taken by one pl stloren 1t n«flumfl}y traversed by the other; both evidently contemplate a general agree ment of public opinion upon subjects which have bean long in controversy, and indicate an unwillingness to declare upon other and cardinal questions, views which in the pres ent condition of opinion might seriously dis- turb the parties within themsalves, - The parties indeed, now cohere mainly by habit and tradition, and since the great Laues which have divided them, have been largely sottlc the mest vital political activity has been ¢! endeavor of good citizens in both parties to adjust them to a living issne and to make effective agencies of politicsl progress and re- form. The indispensblo necessity of this course has long been apparent, for in & time ot profound peace at home and abroad, the most threatening natural peril is insiduous political corruption, a morcenary and den alizing spxit, and a_tendency tho result which is well des by Seuator Hoar, Massachusetts, a3 *‘the shamecless doctrin that the true way by which power should bo gained in a republic is to bribe the people with offices, created for their service, and the true end of which it rhould be v when gained to be the promotion of selfish ambi- tion and the gratification of personal rovenge, But this doctrine naturally has pro duced results which are still more alarming. The corrupt nsxim and tendenc idly developed that they seck pol not only to gratify ambition and revenge, but to promote gain. The platform then says: A great party has habitually proclaimed it to be the duty every citizen to subport at elections, without regard to character, those whom it selects as its executive agents; that the tendency of such policy is fatal to public welfare, and that it is the duty of every pat- riotic citizen, vital and imperative, to baflle and defeat such demands. If the republican convention had presented a candidate whose character and career weroe the pledge of a res- olute contest with the tendencies above des- cribed, every republican voter would bave gladly supported the nomination, but the can- didate has shown by his own words and acts of official record, ~that he is unworthy of respect and comfidence, that he has traded upon his official trust for his pecuniary gain, as o repressntative of men, methods and conduct which public con- science condemns. The platform then says: We are very proud of the great record and services of the republican party, but not with our consent or connivance shall the record be disgraced. Every party must be eminently reviewed by the intelligent independence of its own members, or it will sisk from an agency to securge good government iuto a re- morscloss despotism. 1tis with a profound conviction of its wisdom that republicans faithfui to their party, but holding with the great republican fathers, that political morali- ty and purity of admivistratration are more precious than party, are now constrained to oppose the presidential nomination in the in- terest of what the believe to be the pure re- publicanism of public welfare and of the honor of the American name, Upon the political questions of the tariff and finance and other questions upon which both parties are divided within themselves, we are also divided in opinion. We shall vote, therefore, in the choice of representatives and other officers sccording to the individual opinions, As there is no distinctive issue upon the pu! lic policy presented for the consideration of the country, the character of the candidate becmes of the highest importance to all citizens who do not hold that party victory should be gecured at any cost ~ While repnb- lican nomination represents u party whom we cannot support, the democratic party pre- sents one whose name is a synonym of pulit- ical courage and honesty and administrative reform. 5 The platform then eulogs Cleyeland at considerable length, dwelling on his admiu- istrative ability and coursgé of conviction in the face of popular clamor, as exhibited whils mayor and governor, psints out the fact that he has spruug into promineace since the war between the s-ctions, aud i3 1ot subject or discarded her.

They forelbly selzod the mother and despite her erles and stubborn resistance, tore hor from her baby, crowded her down' stairs, violentl drngem‘ her into ahack they had in waiting and within an hour landed her in the Providence lunatic asylum on Main street, near Humboldt park. The fshrieks of the woman and the heart- rondiug eries of her baby aroused some neigh- bors but the work of abduction was specdily done. There y was no protense at legal warrantfor the seizure and the poor woman was landed in the asylum without legal procoss. The detective who assisted in the work told an acquaintanca soon after that he got loes than $50 for the job, and said the woman resisted so stoutly that it took all his nerve and strength to overpower her, Win.

The managers of tho asylum had no right tc detain her, and she loft in n few days, that is as soon as the chose after her terrible experience. The wretched mother’s first inquiry after leaving the asylum was for her baby. He had been away but Ler mother's love and zeal to bs easily cheated aud she soon dia- covered his location and set on foot legal pro- ooedings to recover him. An exposure of the infamous_conspiracy was_feared and to avoid it the child was surrendored. Lawyer Whiting, her attorney, corroborates the story and says the agreement was made in Cleveland’s "hand writing, wherebys Matin alpin was toreceive $500 and surrender her son, Oscar Folsom Cleveland. The paper gives many details of the occurrence and the publication created a sensation, BAOK-UAPPING BLAIN HOW HE PLAYED POKER AND GOT BROKE. Special Dispatch to Trr Bek, CiNCINNATI, July 22.—The Times-Star says; Several days ago it was given out by a number of reputable democrats in Cincinnati that some Georgetown, Kentucky, democrats had bren busy collecting affidavits and reminiscences about Blaine. It was hinted that their publi- cation would rival any rumors about Cleve- land’s bachelor habits, In connection with this rumor it is quite significant that Col, A. L. Conger, of Akion, Ohio, member of the national committee from this state, wasin Cincinnati last weok and lefc rather myster- fously for Kentucky. While here Congor had & short and hasty conference with Judgs Fora- ker and other republicans. He talked about scandals likely to be hatched up and showed lotters contaning gross charges against Clove: land, the same as published. The rumored charges against Blaine aro said to be very light, mere boyish fauits, but capable of much distor- tion in the heat of a campaign. A story is afloat concerning his ability as a poker player. It runs that he occasionally took a hand in thix festive game on the river boats.

The rexolution will be opposed by many delegates, and will cause an animated dcbate, Daniels has drawn out of the contest for the residential nomination, and the chances of Dr. R. H.
