Perhaps 1.0 name on the American continent is better known today than ; that o?' G rover Cleveland, and none will ! challenge the admiration of the Ameri can people more universally than thai of the great tariff reformer. The eplen did endorsement which he has just re ceived at the hands of the D?mocratie party, speaks in no uncertain manner of the confidence reposed in his ability to steer the ship of state of this grea^ gov ernment. For four y~ars he held the nuns at f Washington, and the wise, conservative and safe policy pursued by him, enlist- { ed the highest encomiums of praise from friends and political foes alike. In the next campaign he was put for ward by his party for re-election vo the presidency. The result is well known. ri:be circumstances connected with Mr. Cleveland's defeat are as well known as is the result. His own state, that had once elected him ss her governor by an overwhelming majority, and subse quently gave him ho electoral vote that place-: him i ?. the presidential chair, and upon which ho confidently relied for her support in a second contes';, de serted him in the last hours of the struggi**, and sacrificed him to the lie- 1 publican party. ( With the bearing that had always 1 characterized the man, ilr, Cleveland, although feeling bitterly the sting of the 1 stab he had received from the hands of ] his friends, gracefully ratired to the pri- j vacy of home life again; and never a ' murmur was heard against those whoin J he had most cause to censure. For four years, be has led the life of a private citizen, rarely ever obtruding his views j upon political questions, yet ever loyal ( to the interests of his party, and ready, , in that same spirit of candor and hon ssty which is peculiarly his own, at all ; times to givo counsel when asked of him; and now a^ain, comes tho unani- ; l ous voice of the Democrats of the ' country calling him to the front a3 their ] leader. It is tho recognition of merit ewer ma nipulation, of genius ovv-r political < trickery and of honest government over official corruption. And with this man ' the Democratic party enters with assnr- 1 aace upon another contest for political supremacy. ] Th? Notti?nee for Vice. Mr. Stevenson was born in 1835. in i Christian county, Kentucky, near the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln Ilia parents removed from North Carolina to Kentucky, one of Iiis ancestors being a sig?M r -.f the M<ckl< nburg declorati m j of independence.

One of the last official acts of President Cleve land was to nominate Mr. Stevenson for justice of the supreme conrt of the Dis trict of Columbia, but tho Republican senate failed to net upon his nomina tion. Since his retirement from the postoffice department, ha has boon en gaged in the practice of kiw at Bloom ington, Iii. Chicago, June 22.?The preliminary work of the convention was concluded at midnight, and Mr. Whitney, the leader of the Cleveland forces, an nounced to the Associated Press, at the j close of the last meeting of the Cleve- ! land supporters, that, in view of the , situation as it was then known to exist ! there would be no contest for temporary ! chairman, which means that Owens of j Kentucky, would be chosen. Ir was I determined at the meeting by represen- j tatives of the states who turned in an ; account of the absolutely sure votes for Cleveland to the number of GDI, which ie two beyond the necessary two thirds to nominate as permanent chairman William L. AVilson of West Virginia. Hon. William L. Wilson, of Charles town, representing the second West Virginia district, was born in Jefferson county, Virginia, May 3, 1840; was graduated from Columbia college. Dis trict of Columbia, in 1SG0. and served in the Confederato army. After some years in law practice, he was in 1883 elected president of the West Virginia University, but resigned soon after, and was elected to the forty-eighth congress. He has been continuously re elected since. At the meeting of the national com mittee whioh arranged the program, and gave the temporary chairmanship to Owens, a number of the leaders of th? majority determined to carry the opposition to Owens on to the floor of the convention immediately after the convention was called to order. This was subsequently abandoned af ter the caucus of votes were made and the Cleveland men found that there was no longer any doubt of the strength of their leader. They were willing to let the temporary chairmanship go to the opposition. V/orlt of the Committee. It was 12 o'clock when Chairman Drice cal!--1 the national committee to order. After some preliminary business Mr. Ransom, of North Carolina, in be half of the sub-commiuee on temporary organization, nominated for temporary chairman, William C. Owens, of Ken tucky. This nomination was seconded by Henry Watterson and others. Mr. Holt, of Texas, nominateci Wil liam L. Wilson, of West Virginia. Hi ram Atkinson, of Vermont, seconded the nomination, as did several others. Brief complimentary speeches were made setting forth the merits of the two candidates. While these speeches wore going on, activo conferences were taking place between the Cleveland men. Ex-Secre tary Whit noy abandoned the Cleveland headquarters for tho time bein ; and hovered around the outside of the na tional committee room headquarters. He held a conference with Harrity and other committeeiuen. whom he ha i called our. of the meeting room. Vilas of Wisconsin, also came around to see how the fight was going on. They would say nothing of their purposes, but apparently wanted some assurances ?of what .?.ture could not be learned? from Watterson and Gorman. It was said that one thing they w^re endeavoring to secure was publie dec laration from Gorman that he would not be a candidate. Evidently the as surance wanted was not given, for Ow ens' selection was vigorously opposed, but when the roll was called it was found that that geut?eman hai 23 votas to fcO for Wilson. CALLED TO ORDER. Chairman Brleo H>itil tti? Call?Owens of Kentneky, in the Clwafr. C'Hrc\v;;\ June 22.?At 10:44 p. m.r tho national Democratic convention was called to order ill the great wigwam by the lake. E OF C03TVLNTI05 HALL. Calvin S.

Owens of Kentucky, was chosen temporary chairman, Tlie an nouncement was received with applause, md he was conducted to the platform. Mid Chairman Brice handed him the javel. Chairman Owen said: 'Twc great dangers face the Democratic party. One is external and the other is in ternal. The first in tho organized capital >f the countrv as represented by the gov ernment, and the second is the fondnessof the D?mocrate to raise issues among them selves." Mr. Owen is apparently about 4o years of age. He wears a black cuta way, with dark gray trousers. His im pression is very good. His periods arc frequently applauded. As Mr. Owen proceeded, he grew elo- j juent. He referred to the defeat of i lilaine and the nomination of Harrison | at Minneapolis by the "Bread and but ter brigade. " Tho desk at which chairman Owens presides is aa historic one, and bears the following inscription: ''Cleveland and liendrioks were nominated over' this desk duly 11, 1S34." At the conclusion of Chairman Ow ens' speech Mr. White offered a resolu tion in reference to credentials. General Bragg of Wisconsin, moved an amendment, calling for each state to name its members for the credentials, resolutions and organization commit- j tees amid much confusion. A number resolutions are introduced. The secretary called the roll of states j for the announcement of committee- j ??:). j English of indiana, offered a r?solu Lion admitting all ex-nnion soldiers to the unoccupied seat* in ! ?? gallon'. On motion of Br?nson of Kentucky, i the resolution goes to the commit ten on resolutions. A lit**! of resolutions, most of them unimportant, was introduced, j Cheering IVepuMlcare. A delegate from Illinois introduce;! a resolution expressing sympathy with James < Blaino in the l??ss of hi-: son, ? Vannions. The name of Binine is wildly cheered and the resolution is carried wifh a will. At 1:58 tho convention adjourned un til l? o'clock tomorrow. -_ ' ?

The band p?aved "My Maryland: " Chairman Owens called for the report of the commut?e on credentials. It was announced that the committee on credentials would not he ready to re port until 2 o'clock. Mr. Bronson, of Kentucky, moved that a committee of two be appointed to wait on the credentials committee and ascertain whon they would be ready to re->ort. The committee on credentials an nounced that they were ready to re port, and that the report was unani mous. The corami*tee's report favored the seating of f-be regni a r Alabama dele gates, whilo the contestants were to be given seats on the il >or; the same as to Pennsylvania; the s;:me as to Ohio; the Same as to Utah.

Wilson took the platform at 12:2-1 p. ra., being escorted by Dickinson and Flower. Temporary Chairmnn Owens present ed Permanent Chairman WhSou to the convention. Mr. Wilson was greeted warmly. He thanked the convention for the honor. "Much as we owe to our party," said he. "we owe more to our countr}-." [Cheers.] Mr. Wilson's address abounded with points that pleased the convention. A severe arroingement of the Republican p-irty was for a time his theme. He said the Republican pnrty was the party of a section and a chtss and not of the peo ple or of the country :?s a whole. Aref erence to tariff reform by Mr. Wilson elicited applause. Ke referred to Major Merli nlpy's state ment at Minneapolis that the Democrats wanted to rais-.* the money from the home people instead from a protective tariff on foreign goods. He said the Democratic party pleaded guilty to the charge. The xlmerican people were able and willing ro support their government, and that this was not a private country. He said that reci procity was to be the battle cry of the Republicans in this campaign. e denounced the McKinley reciproc ity tali ss "one of the greatest absurdi ties of the age. " and Wil-on appealed for harmony in the convention, no mat ter who should be its choice as a candi date to lead them. " As your presiding officer, it would bo unbecoming in me to express an opinion concerning the candidates. But I will say that the man you select will receive no telegrams of congratulation from the foreign castles of our tariff lords. " As Mr. Wilson conclude^. At 11:48 a. m., the delegates arose en masse and cheered him to echa His address made a great hit. Dickinson, of Michigan, moved that the convention tike a recess until 5 o'clock. The motion was carried. THE NIGHT SESSION. Tl>ey D5? Not Krer.?? up "T?l horning." Hut Nominated Grovcr. CHICAGO, Juno 2-1.? The convention I hall was a scone of enthusiasm, amount ing to almost an uproar when cnairman ? Wilson, rapped for order, and the night i session of the convention that was som j to select Grever Cleveland as the Demo cratic standard bearer for 1?'j2, began its work. While the convention was waiting for the committee on resolu tions to make its report, the band etarted "Am?rica. " which created an outbreak of cheering by the whole con vention and hundreds were brought to their feet. Several motions to ad jo oro were voted down by a perfect storm of "noes. " It whs clear that the convention meant business, and were determined to complete it or consume the night in the attempt. At 6:24 o'clock, Charles Jones, of Mis souri, chairman of the resolutions com mittee, appeared upon the platform. Addressing the convention he said : "I am instructed by the committee on res olutions to present to you, as the report of the committee, the following resolu tions, and move their adoption. In or der that you may more distinctly hear what the committee has prepared, I in tend to ask a gentleman, who is as fa miliar as myself with the phraseology of tho platform, to read it for rrre. (Ap plause.) And, when it has been read, shall movo the previous question upon adoption of the platform.'* (Cries of no, no, no.) Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, advanced on the platform', and said : "In view of the statement just made, X will say that I represent tho minority of the committee on resolutions, and I desire to announce that that miuority expects to be her.rd to present its report J before the previous question shall be put. n Quick cheers followed this announce ment. The Tariff i?ecHon Amender;. The only features of the platform which seemed to call forth divided sen- j tiinent, was the tarili and silver planks j which were apparently not snfriciently j radical to satisfy delegates with pro- : nounced views. Mr. Jones moved the adoption of tho platform. Mr. Nca?, of Ohio, was recognized, ? and moved to strike from the tariff sec j tion all words preceding the denuncia tionof the McKinley sci., and to subs ri- j tute therefor the following : We denounce Republican protection as a fraud on the labor of the ^reac ma- ; jority of American people for the benefit; j of a "few. We declare it to be a funda- I mental principle of the Democratic j parly that the federal government has , no constitutional power to impose and ? collect tariti duties except for tin- pur- j P<;s?) of revenue only (applause and cheers), and we demand that the collec tion oi such taxes shall be limited to. the necessaries of government when honestly and economically administer ed. tOiecrs ami applause.) A tumult followed, and <\ 1, Wat ter Son and Vilas led a beared debate. After waiting patiently for some mo- : ments foi tie- noise and tumlet to c";>a:-. Mr. Jones retired in despair.

Arkansas yielded bor? pia ?i> New jersey and ex ( r >ver?or Abb-it. of that state < nme forward to the platform, accompanied by enthusi astic cheers from the Clevel ind wing of the convention, it being understood that Abbett was to nominate ex-President Cleveland.

Men and women who thronged the great galleries waved fans, umbrcl ' las and banners. i Mr. De Witt, of New York, followed i A ^?? and nominated HUL But Mr. De Witt's voice was not sufficiently j strong to fill the ludi.

The roll call for speeches nomi nating a candidate for vice president was begun at 3 o'clock p. m. Arkansas yielded to Indiana, and Hon. John E. Lamb took the floor and placed in nom ination Governor Gray. Colorado, next in the roll of states, was called and gave way to Illinois, which state sent to the platform ex Congressnaan Worthington, who pre sented the name of Hon. A. E. Steven son, of Illinois. Then came up gray-haired Delegate Bragg, of Wisconsin, to put up the name of John L. Mitchell, of that state. The names of all tho candidates be ing presented the balloting begun. Wheu tho roll was finished the fig ures showed for Stevenson 402 and Gray 243?no choice. Tnen began changes. Iowa first came into t-lie Stevenson camp, Montana next, followed by Nebraska. Ohio got into line and great cheers. Missouri climbed over the wall, Georgia was close behind, and Kentucky came next. The flock of states outside of Stevenson's coops came to cover with a rush of wings and flutter of features. It became only a question of time, and when a two thirds vote for Stevenson had been ob tained tho nomination was announced. The usual resolutiohs of thanks to ttie officers were passed, and the national committee nominations were made. General Patrick Collins, of Massa chusetts, then took the platform and moved that the Democratic committee should, at the next national convention, provide accommodations only for dele gates, alternates, the press, nationn? committees, but for no others. This was demande! in view of the gallery interruptions that are possible and have beer, ?emonstrated. The resolution was before the house when one of the electric arc lamps fell among the delegates, and a stampede was imminent for a time. No harm, however was done. The Collins resolution, after tho con fusion subsided, was referred to the ex ecutive committee of the new national committee, with an affirmative recom mendation. At 5:20 o'clock the convention ad journed sine die. The Platform* Following is the platform of the Na tional Democratic party* Section 1. Tho representatives of the Democratic party of tho United Stetes, ia national convention assembled, ?te re affirm their allegiance to the principios of tho party a* formulated by Jefferson and 3xemplifie<f by a long and illustrious line 3f his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We l>elieve the public welfare demands that these ?principles be applied to the conduct of the ederal government, through the accession to power of the party that advocates them, aud we solemnly declare that the need of ft return to these fundamental principles of free ?>opular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more Urgent than now when the tendency to centralize ail the power ;?t. the ^Je.-al capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of states, that strikes at the very root of our government's consti tution as framed by the fathers of the re public*.

We warn th? people of a common country, jealous for the preservation of their free institutions, that the policy of federal eontrol of election**, to which the Republican parry ha* committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution practically establishing mon archy on the ruins of the republic [t strikes at the north as well as the south, and injures the colored citizens e'en mor fban the whites, it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place; armi li with federal power : returning board*appointed and controlled by federal authority: on trage of the electoral rights of the i?eople in the several state-; the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power, an I tho re viving of rare antagonisms, now happily abated, of the Utmost peril to t he safety ,? <1 happiness of all; a measure de liberately ani justly described by a lead ing liepublican senator as "the most in famous bill thai evercros?sed the threshold j of the senati?.''

Two year* ago tbi* r?volu- j tionary policy was emphatically con- j deinued by the people at the pools, hat in ? contempt of'that verdict the lUrpubiiirarr party lias defiantly declared, in irs latest j authoritative utterance, that its success In j the contins elections will mean the en- I actment of a force bill and the usurpar i-/u ? of despotic control over elect ions-in all the. j state* Believing ' hat the pre.-terra* |? u of ?

We: | pleilge the Liemrcratic party, if it ?v e.;- ? trusted with the power, : only t<> ??? ;*?? ?>; the force Hi', but also the relentless 'op position to the Kepubiican policy of pro fligate expenditure which, in the short space of two years, has squandered an enormous surplus -emptied an over?low hig ti??sury after piling new burdens of taxation upon the already over-taxed , lalior o? the c nuil ry. See. :;. We reh?rate trie oft repeated doc fepi-acs of th.; l.)c;oo< ratio uarty that the necessity of government is the only justi- \ fication for taxation and whenever tax is ? necessary it is unjustifiable; that when j custom house taxation is levied upon arti cles of any kind in this country, the diff- ! erence between the cost; of labor her? and labor abroad, when such difference exists, fully me^nre any possible benefit*" of labor and the enormous additional imposi- ! tions of the existng tariff fall with crush- ? ing forcfr upon our farmers and working 1 ftien and for the mere advantages of a few j whom it enriches, exact front labor a j gros-iy unjust share of expone of tha government and we demand such a re- j Vision of the tariff laws as will remove their iniquitous inequalities, lighten their j opposition find put them.ona constitution- ? al and equitable basis, lint in making* j reduction in taxes it is not proposed to in- I jure any Democratic industries, bat rather to promote, their healthy growth. ! From the foundation of tins, governrneut taxes collected at custom houses have 1 *?? the chief .source of federal revenue. Such they must continue to be. Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon j legislation for successful continuance* so ? any clisares of law must be at every step j regardful of labor and capiteli th:w in j volved. The process of reform must be a I subject In the exoc-ation of this plain dic ! tstion of justice. We denounce the Ma ! Kin Icy tariff law enacted by the fifty first congress as the culminating atrocity of class legislation; we endorse the efforts made by the Democrats of the present con gress to modify its most oppressive fea tures in the. direction of free raw ma terials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption; and we promise its repeal as one of the beae i firent results that will follow the actio? of the people in entrusting power to the Democratic party. Since the McKinley tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of wages of laboring men to one incrca e. We deny that there has been any increase of property to the country since that tariff went into opera tion and we point tc the dullness and dis tress, wage reduction* and strikes in the iron trade, u-s the best possible evidence that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act.* We call the attention of thoughtful Americans to the fact that after thirty yaors of restrictive taxes f against the importation of foreign wealth, in exchange for our agricultural surplus, the homes and farms o? the country have become burdened with a real estate mort gage debt of over two thousand live hun dred million dollars, exclusive of all other forms of indebtedness; than in one of the chief agricultural states of the west there appears a real estate mortgage debt averg ing S1G5 ner ?mita of the total population, and that si mi lar conditions and tendencies arc shown to exist in other agricultural exporting states. We denounce apoiicy which fosters no industry so much as it does that of the sheri?f. Sec. 4. Tracie interchange on a basis of reciprocal advantages to countries partici paring is a tim?-honored doctrine of Democratic faith, but we denounce the snam reciprocity which juggles with the people's < lesi re for enlarged foreign m.ar kets and freer exchanges by pretending to establish closer trade relations for tl>e country whose articles of export are al most exclusively agricultural pro-ducts, with other countries that Rre also agricul tural, while erecting the custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the richest couutries of the world, that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor com modities- which are necessaries and corn-' forts of life among our own people. Sec. 5. We recognize in trusts and com binations which are designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint nroduct of capital aud order, the natural consequence of prohibitive taxes which prevent free competition, which is the life of honest trade, but we believe their west evils can l>e abated by law, and we dernad a rigid enforcement of laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legi latiou in restraint or their abuses asexperience may show to be necessary. Sec. ?. The Republican party while pro fessing a policy of receiving public land for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people's heritage till now ? few rairroads and non-resident aliens individuals and corporations possess a larger area than that of all our farms be tween the two seas. The last Democratic administration reversed the improvident and unwise polity of the Republican party touching the public domain and reclaimed ?rem corporation? and syndic-ace-;, alien and domestic, and restored to the peonie nearlv one hundred million acres of valu able "land to be sacredly held as home* eteads for our citizens and we pledge our Golves to conti mie this policy until- every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people. Sec. 7. We denouncethe Re publica it leg' j islation known as the Sherman act of WSW as /? cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which mould make all its supporters, as well as tts author, anxious for its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of lx>th gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gokl and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage. im% the dol lar unit of coinage of both metals must Ixd of equal Intrinsic ami exchangeable valuflr or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legis lation as shall iusure the maintenance of parity of the two metals. An equal power of every dollar at all times in the markcts and in the payment of debts, and we de mand that all paper onrrem-y shall be kept at par with and redeeu?able in such coin.

The nomi nation of -?res ident, as in the recent Republican cooven tien, by delegations composed largely o? his appointees, lvolding office at his pleas ure, is a scandalomrsalirc upon free popu lar institutions and a startling illustra tion of the methods by which a pr?sident ( may gratify his ambition. We denounce the policy under which Federal office hu? ders usurp control of party conventions ir> , the states, and we pledge the I)cm??cratic party to the reform of these anil all other abuses which threaten indi vid atti liberty 1 and local self government. ?

"I hope you will stay and hear me Governor, I am going to attack yon," paid Col. Yoaraans calmly.
