HE ARE HEIR PRINCIPLES, Platform on Which Democracy Will Go B fore the Country. CnicAGo, Til., June 22.—The report of the platform committeo was as follows : Section 1. The representatives of the dem- ocratic party of the Unitea States, in con- vention assembled, do affirm their allegiunco to the principles of the party as formulated by Jofferson and exomplified by a long and illustrious line of his successors in dem- ocratic leadership, from Maudison to Cleve- land. We believe that the public welfare demands that these principles b applied to the conduct of the federal government through the accession to power of the party that advocates them, ana we solemnly declare that the need of a roturn to these fundamental principles of a free poputar goverument, based upou home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to centralizo ull power at the federal capital bas become o menace of the reserved rights of the states, und strikes at the very roots of our government under the constitution, as framed by the republic. Federal Control of Elections. Sec. 2. Wowarn the peoplo of our common country, jealous for the preservation of thelr 1ree Institutions, that the policy of federal control of elections 1o which the republican party has committed 1tself is fraught with tho gravest dangers, scarcely less momontous thun would result from a vevoiution prac- tically establishing mouarchy on the ruins of tho republic. It strikes at the north as well s at the south, and injures the coloved citizens even more than the whites: it means a hoard of deputy marshals at the polling place armed with feaeral power, returning boards appointed and coutrolled by a federal authority, {he outrage of the electoral rights of the péople 1u the several states, tho suhju- gation of the colored people to the control of the party 1o power snd tho revival of race antagonism, now happily abated, of the ut- wost peril to the safety and happiness of all; o measure deliberately and justly aescribed by & leadig republican senator as “lho most iufamuous bill that ever crossed the ||;funozu 9{ {he senate.” Such policy, f sanctioned by lat, woula moan (hé aum- nauco of a sell-perpetuatiog oligarcuy of om‘r olders, and the party first entrusted g’u ts macbinery could be disloged from wer ouly by an appeal to the reserved ‘ll“ of the pw‘)lo to resist oppression, which nherent in ail self-governing communities, 'WO years 8go this revolutionary policy was empbatically condemned by the people at ihe polls, but 1o contempt of that verdiet, the ro- ublican party bas defiantly di red o s atest aplboritative utleranoes that its suc- s I 1he coming elections will wewu te i is Ly ECOND YEAR. enactment of the force bill and the usurpa- tion of despotic control over elections in all the stato Believing that the preservation of repub- liean government in the United States is de- pendent. upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the sup- port of all citizens who desire to see the con- stivution maintained in its integrity with the laws pursuant thereto, which have given our country 100 years of unoxampled pros- perity; and we pledge the democratic party, if it bo entrusted with power, not ouly to the defeat of the force bill, but also to wage re- lentless opposition to the republican policy of profligate expenditure which, in the short space 0. two years, has squandered an enor- mous surplus and emptied an overflowing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxa- tion upon tho aiready overtaxed lavor of the country. We favor the maintenance of a navy strong enough for the purpeso of defense and to properly maintaiu the honor and dignity of | the country abroad. Sympathy for the Russian Jews, Sec. 11. This country has alwags been the rofuge of the oppressed from every land— exiles for conscience-zand in the spirit of the founders of our govérnment wo condemn tho oppression practicea by tho Russian government upon its Austrian and Jewisn subjects, and wo call upon our national gov- ernment in the interest of justice and hu- monity, by all just and proper moans, and to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about o cessation of these cruel persecutions 1n tho dominion$ of the czar and to secure to the oppressed equal justice. Wo tender our profound and parnest sympa- thy to those lovers of freedom who are strug- gling for homo rule and the great cause of local self-government in Ireland. Immigration Laws, _ Sec. 12. Wo heartily approve ail legitimate offorts to prevent the United States 1rom be ing used as the dumping ground for the known criminals and professional paupers of Eurove, and wo dnmand_ the rigld ohforce- ment of the laws against Chiness immigra- tion and the 1mportation of foreign workmen under contract to degrade American labor aud lossen its wagss, but we condomn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lands. Pension Laws, Sec. 13. This _convention heroby renews the expression of appraciation of tho patriot- 1sm of the soldiers and sailors of the union in the war for its preservation, und we fayor just and liberal pensions for all disabled solders, their widows and dependents, but we demana that tho work of the pension oftico shall bo doue industriously, impartially and honestly. \Wo denounce the presout ad- ministration as incompetent, corrudt, dis- graceful and dishonest. River Improvements. Seo. 14.-Tho foderal government should caro for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the republic so as to secure for the interior states easy and cn&!g transportation to tide water, t ) R en any waterwuy of the republic is. of U s AL LS g sufliclent importanco to_ domand. tho ald o We denounce the McKinley tarift law on- | the goverment such aid should be expended acted by the Fifty-first congress as the cul- [in & genoral plan of continuous minating atrocity of class logislation; we en- | work unul permanent improvement is dorse the efforts mado by the democrats of | secured. the prosent congress to modify its most op- prossive foatures in tho direction of free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promiso its repeal as ono of the béneficent results that will follow the action of the peo- ple in entrusting power to the democratic party. Siuce the McKinley tarift went into opora- tion there have been ten reductions of the wages of lavoring men to ove increase. Wo deny that thoro has been any increase of prosperity to the country since that tariff went Into oparation, and wa point to tho dullness and daistress whica wage reductions and strikes cause in the iron trade as the best possible evidence that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We call the attention of the thoughtful Americans to the fact that after thirty years of restrictive taxes and the importation of foreign wealth in exchange for our agricultural sur- plus, the homes and farms of the country have become burdened with a real estato mortgage of over §2,500,000,000, exclusive of ali other forms of indebtedness; tuat in ono of the chief agricultural states of the west there uppears a real cstate mortgage debt averaging $165 per capita of tho totul popu- lation; and that similar conditions and ten- | of dencie’ are shown to exist in the other ugri- cultural states. We denounce a policy which fosters no industry so much as it does that of thesheriff, The Tanfr Plank. Sec. 8. Wo reiterato the oft repeated doc- trines of the democratic party that nocessity of the government is the only justification for taxation, and whonever a tax is unncces- sary, it1s unjustifiablo; that when custom liouse taxation is levied npon articies of any kind not produced in this country, the differ- ence between the cost of labor here and labor ubroad, when such a difforence exists, Tully measures any possible benefits to labor, and the enormous additional impositions of the existing tariff fall with crushing force upon our farmers und workingmen and for the advantage of the fow, whom it enriches, exacts from labor u grossly unjust share of the expenses of tho government; and we de- mand such revision of the tariff laws as will remove their iniguitous inequalities, lighten their oppressions and put them on a consti- tutional and equitable basis, But in making a reduction in taxes it is not proposed Lo injure uny domestic indus- tries, but rather to ‘promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this gov- ernment taxes collected at tho custom house have been the chief source of federal reve- nue. Such they must continue to be. Moro- over, many industries have come to roly upon logisiation for successful continuance, 50 that any chango of the law must ba at overy step regardful of labor and capital thus tnvolved. The process of reform must be subjected in its execution 1o the plain dic- tate of justice. Nicaragun Canal. Sec. 15. In supnort of the national defense and the promotion of commerce botween the states wo recognize in the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and its protection against foreign control a measure of great importance to the Unitea Statas. Worl alr, Sec. 10. Recngnizing the World’s Colum- binn exposition as an undertaking of national importance, in which the gencral govern- mont has invited the co-operation of all the powers of the worla and, appreciating the acceptance of many of such powers of the in- vitation so extendod and the broad and lib- eral efforts being made by them to contribute to the grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the opinion that congress should mako such necessary financial provisions as should be requisite for the maintenance of the na- tional honor and public faith. Education and the Public Schools, Sec. 17. Popular education baing the only safe basis of popular suffrage, \Wwe recom- mend to the several states the most lib- eral appropriation for tbe public schools Free common schools are the nursery good government and they have always received the fostoriug caro of the democratic party which favors every method of increasing intelligence. Freedom of edu- cation being an essential of civil and relig: jous liberty as well as a necessity for the de- velopment of _intellizence, must not be interfered with under any pretext what- ever. We are opposod to state interference with parental rights and the rights of conscionce in the education of children as an infringe- ment oa the fundamental aemocratic doc- trine; that the largest individual liverty cousistent with the rights of others insures the brightest type of American citizenship and the best government. Admlssion of Territories, Sec. 18. We approva the action of the pres- ent house of representatives in passing bills for the admission into the union as statos of the torritories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the early admission of all ter: ritories having the Lecessary population and resources to entitle it to statchood, and while they remain territories hold’ thav tho officials_appoin ted to administerftho gov- ernment of any territory, tog:ther with the Districts of Columbia and Alaska, should bo bonafide residonts of the territory or dis- wricts in which their duties are to be per- formed.

On the Colnage Question. Sec. 7. We denounce the ropublican legis- lation known as the Stherman act of 1500, as a cowardly makeshift fraught with possibil- ities of dangerin the future which should wake all of 1ts suprorters, as well as its uuthor, anxious for its soeedy repeal. We nold o tho use of both gold and silver as the standard woney of the country and the cowage of both gold and silver without dis- criminating ugalnst cither motal or charge Reciprocity, Sec. 4. Trado interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the country is a honored doctrino of the —democratic jouuce the sham reciprocity which juggles with the people’s desire for cnlarged foreign markats and freer exchange by pretending to establish closer trade re- lauons for a country whose articles of ox- export aro almost exclusively agricultural products, with other countries that are also agricultural, whilo crecting a custom house bar of prohibitive taxes against the richest countries of tbe world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of proaucts and to exchange therefor commodities whicn are necesseries and comforts of life among our own people. Trusts and Combinations. Sec, 5. We recognize in the trusts and combinutious, wuich are designed 10 enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product of capital aud labor, the natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which provent that frec competition which is the life of nonest trave; but we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid entorcement of the luws made to prevent and control them, to- gethor with sucn further legislation in ' re- straint of their ubuses 8y experienco may show to be necessury. Public Lands. Soc. 6. The republican party, while pro- ptuary Laws, Sec. 21. Wo are opposed to all sumptuary laws as an interference with thoe individual rights of the citizen. Soc. 22. Upon this statement of ‘principles and policies the democratic party asks the ntolligent judgmont of tho Ammorican peopio, It asks a change of admimistration and & change of party in order that there sy be a change of system and a change of wmothods, thus essuring the malmtenanco umim- puired of the constitution under which the republic has grown great and powerful.

The argument | are many gentlemen connected with the dem- against its use was that it had come to tave n meaning attached t0 its uso which must result in any platform .containing tho word being construed popularly in tho sense of a freo coinage of silver proposition in its common _accoptanca, as embodied in the wishes of the silver states. For this reascn a motion was carried by a vote of 80 to 18, ncluding in the wmajority side the vote of Mr. Crafts of Illinois, who was presiding, rejocting that part of the plank containing the word “free.” The result in committes was not satisfactory to Mr. Pat- terson and the other free coinago men, and notice was given that they would fight this plank in the conveution.

The crowd was larger,the balcony was well filled, and the dress circlo avout two-thirds, A fair estimato places the number in the hallat 15,000. The crowd was cold and vndemonstrative until the New York delegation arrived.

EY AGAINST THE INEVITABL Tammany und the fill Men Kleking Hard Agninst the Pricks. Cuicaao, 111, June 22.—The uncompror ing spirit, fertility of stratogy and the un- ceasing activity of the Hill leaders as shown by their brilliant rally last night in the face of defeat, solidifying the anu-Cleveland vote and bringing about a harmonious working arrangement with the Bowes forces with a view to breaking the unit rule, thus secur- ing the support of tho anti-Cleveland votes now tied up by that rule to the sup- port of the ex-president, has disturbed the Cleveland leaders to such an extent as to induce them to stram every effort to bring the convention toan early ballot. E. Ellery Anderson of New York wsaid this morning that a ballot would be forced betore adjournment tonighf, The opponents of the ex-president will contest the effort to forco a baliot at every point possible.

There centimues to oe favorable mention of the Hon. Chris Magee of Pitts- burg, but membvers of the naulonal committee say it would not bo the part of wisdom to select @ Pennsylyanian at this time owing to differineés in that state. Land Commissionef Carter of Montanu is mentioned for the ébairmanship in this even- ing’s Star, but it isnot at all probable that a federal officebolder would be selected, or one who had recently been in & federal oftice. The mpression prevails here that a chair- man will be selected from the east. NEW YOGK REPUBL Set the Ball Rolling in the Empire State by a Rousing Meeting.

The opaniug prayer in the con- vention was very gratifving to the laymen of democracy today, and that assurauce of divine assistance is authoritative, the wags of the party insist to bo amply demonstrated by the jnformation coming from the church which they have so often denounced as being a disguised adjunct of the republican puty. It is expected thers will bo four or five moro prayers offered in Lthe present but it is said that twonty gentlomen of the c.oth huve been nctive compotitors for the honor of addressing tho Almighty fo the democratic conveution. Young men proba- ably number a majority of these applicants, and the raven baived young enthuslast who offered the praycr today is said to be the youngest man who cver addressed the throue of grace from a democratic platform. cerod tho Parson. The audience gave demonstrative approval of this forvent divino when he endorsed democratic principies by asking the Almighty to guide the framers of the party platform so that the true advocate of labor, liberty and the rights of men should be able to find & piace where ho might stand eroct for thea prnciples that havo mado the past of the nation glorious, and that should make the future still more glorious. Cheers could no longer be suppressed when he asked that its nominees might rep- resent tho “spirit of modern democracy, pro- ve democracy, democracy which is ved on the siue of the masses against the classes and that strives to lifv from the shoulders of the people the burdens borne for the benefit of the favored few.” For hall a minute the audience cheered entLusiastically after the preacher haa rotired.
