Mr. Jones at tho close of the reading, ■aid: “On behalf of the Commit!,0 on Resolutions, I move the adoptloii of the platform ns rend.” This was met by cries of "No.” ' Mr. Neal of Ohio took the stand and said: “As a representative from the State of Ohio, appointed on the Committee on Resolutions, I gave notice of my in ten-' tion to present to tilts convention an amendment to the lection of the pint- form relative to the tariff. I have been nnnble conscientiously to agree with’, the majority of my fellow members upon- that section of this platform. I there-) fore gave notice to tbe committee that I would move in open convention to I strike out ail that section of the plat-, form after tbe words denouncing the Me-.

(Loud cheers). We declare it to be a funda mental principle of the Domocratic party that Federal Government has no const!- , tnt<onal power to enforce and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only (renewed and long con tinued cheering), and demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government and honestly and economically admin istered." When Mr. Nenl closed there were cries for Henry Wattersou. He read an ex tract from the Democratic platform of 187tt, and made it ringing speech. The nmeii.linont to the tarilt plank was adopted by the following vote: Ayes 564, nays 842 A motion to .adopt a substitute sliver plank was lost, and ■nd taking tbe banner across the aisle ' flaunted it in tbe faces of the New York delegates.

Ab- me to tbe review of tho modern s of Democracy each was cheered eratiOO from .Bussell to Boies, but when David B. Hill’s name was mentioned Tammany and the New York delegation led a demonstration never before witnessed in a political con vention. At the conclusion of Governor Ab- bett’s speech a delegate moved to adjourn, hut Don M. Dickinson and others cried “No.” The Chairman de cided that Mr. DeWitt had the floor and could not he taken off even by a motion to adjourn. In a few minutes Mr. DeWitt pro ceeded and placed in nomination the name of Senator David R. Hill. Col. John R. Fellows seconded the nomination of Hill. Hon. W. A. Green of Illinois seconded the nomination of Cleveland. Mr. English of Indiana also seconded Cleveland's nomination. A letter from Senator Voohees indors ing Cleveland was read and cheered. When Indiana was called Hon. J ncob F. Duncombe arose and placed In nomi* nation Gov. Horace Boies. Mr. Dun- combe finished at 12:18. Mr. Fenton of Kansas seconded Cleve land’s nomination, as did also Mr. Mc Kenzie of Kentucky. Henry Watterson of Kentucky sec onded Boies' name amid great cheering. Mr. Kernan of Louisiana also spoke for the Iowa Governor. Pennsylvania responded through At torney-General Hansel, who came to the platform and said Pennsylvania's WJ Democrats had sent their representatives to mako no damands, to Indulge in no idle threats and to extend to the Demo crats assembled no empty promises. Second only to my constituency on this floor they yielded to none in their fidel ity to the Democratic nominees. When the gallant Hancock fell no shot from Pennsylvania struck him. “Did you give him your electoral vote?” a New York delegate asked. "We gave him a* many votes as the State of New York,” Mr. Hansel replied. He closed by seo- ondlog the nomination of Cleveland. Senator Daniels of Virginia was re ceived with applause as he marched to the platform to respond for Virginia. He said that responding to the demand of nearly half the Democrats of Vir ginia ha seconded tbe nomination which had received the solid support of the Empire State, that candidate whose his tory for a quarter of a century had been the progress of Democracy In New York every victory a now McKinley bill there contrlbutlona with usury, out of taxis taken from the |ieople.

GOVERNOR ORAT. ^ Mr. Daniels spoke with qrestdlffluitr. Mr. Cockran said that if New York could not hnve a hearing in the conven tion, it was ready to leave it. Then tha audience shouted : “Leave it and go out.” Tammany then consulted. The Chair had no control of the convention. Demands were made that tbe galleries be cleared. It was moved and seconded that the sergeant-at-arms clear the gal leries. Washington seconded nomination of Cleveland. West Virginia seconded nomination of Hill. Wiscoosiu sec onded Cleveland. Mr. Cockran asked the convention to take recess till 10:30-a. til. Objections raised. He thereupoo seconded Hill’a nomination. After Mr. Cockran’s speech a m otion to adjourn wns lost and the clerk began to call the roll of States. Here is the vole by States: E. C.

When the Convention was called to order, prayer was offered, and tho real work begun at once. Tbe name of Governor Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, wns placed before the Con vention for Vice-President. Tbe nomination was received with applause. The name of Adini L. Stevenson was also presented and was received with cheers.
