Hon. Bdward Avery was chosen chairman. 1n his address accepting the position he ex prossed the pleasure of the democrats of Massachusetts that the dangor of the passage of & free silver bill by congress had been avorted for tho present. He declared the po- sition of the demooratic party was against it until modified by another nationai conven- tion. In s remarkson the tariff he outlinea the auaiitios necessary for the next demo- oratio prosidential candidate, clearly indicat- ing his preference for Clevoland. This drew out much enthusiasm. Tho speaker was interrupted by u storm of appiause and cheers for Cleveland, though not unmixed with hisses, The convention proceeded to the nomina- tion of delegates.at-large. The chairman of the committee on ballots renorted that John W. Corcoran, Patrick A. Collins, John I, Rus- sell and Alvert C. Houghton had a majority. The report was adopted. Joun H. Sullivan of Boston, Charles S, Hanlin o®Brookline, Honry W! Ashloy of Westfiold, W. S. Mc- Nary of Boston were elected alternates. After a protest that the action of the conven- tion was cut and dried, adjournment was had. The Platform, The plutform adoptea decla that tho power to tax, from which proceeds the whole power of government, wust bo jealously guardeda; it should act’ through the house in the reguiation of the expenaes of the govern- ment; under republican rulo the tendency has been to concentrate this power of con- gress in the senate. In the eloctions of 1891 tho poople repudiated tha theory of taxation for the protection of special intorests, but the republican party has been able to defy the will of tho people. The platform also approves freo wool and demands the repeal of tho McKinley act and the enactment of genuine tariff reform mens- ures and says there is no hopo for it except through the democratic party, and declares this to be tha clear issue between the parties. On the Question of Colnnge. On the question of conago the platform says: ‘*Wo bolieve in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, and i a currency convertiblo into such coin- age without loss, this declaration expressing tho uniform nistoric policy of the democratic party, as contained in the platforms of 1885 and 1888, Wo unreservedly alirm, while we believe in the issue of both gold and silver s money and in tho full remonetization of the latter metal by an_international agroe- ment, that w» are eaually oppused toa free and unlimited coinage of silver by our gov- ernment independent of the action of other natious.” The platform then denounces the republican act of 1800 on the silver question. Tho platform_closes by saying: “Whilo wo do not specifically pledge our delegation, yet we deciaro that the best interests of our party and_country demand the nomination and ‘olection of Grover Clevoland as presi- dent.” Cheers for Cleveland. 'fhe resolutious were rapturously ap- placded, and when the name of Cleveland was uttered there was greal excitement, with some hisses, but the convention was plainly in sympathy with the spirit of the resolutions. An amendment was ofiored endorsing and eulogizing David B. Hiil, and caused a lively interchange of opinions during which the eligibility of Governor Russell of Massa- chusetts, Governor Boies of lowa and Gen- eral Palmer of Iilinois were prasented. The amendment was finally withdrawn #nd the platform adopted with several dis- iuct voices in opposition.
