Section 21 is a declaration of opposi
tion to ail sumptuary taws as an inter
ference with the individual rights of tbe
citizens.
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-.
Klnley Act and to substitute the fol- !
lowing:
"We denounce Republican protection
as a fraud; (cheers) a robbery of the 1 '
great majority of the American people
for tbe benefit of the few. (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. Gen. Sickles resented this
impertinence and denounced it au;l was
1 " by other |jj|etnbers of the dHega-
inetlme.it looked as if blows
be exchanged. When Gov.;. 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

Ing people there can tie no more momeutoiii
question than the question of tiixation. It li
tho question, as Mr. Burke truly saM, around
which oil tlie great lietthu of freedom have
been fought. It Is the question out of which
grow all tbe lieuea of government, (Tiitll ws
settle this question wisely, pcmumontly. Justly,
we build all other reforms on a foundation ol

Weend the great porty we represent are to

Tariff reform means to readjust this system
of tax* ion, uud to purgoawiiy this system of
tribute. Itmennatbut wc have not reached
tho equality of true freedom so long asnny cit
izen Is forced by law to pay tribute to any
other oltizen, and until our taxes are proj>or-
tioneil to the ability un i duty of the tax-payer
rather than to his ignorance, his weakness and
his pHttciH*;,
Hut, jfcnticmcn, we are confronted with a
■ew crj’ in this curnpnljm. 'llm KepubN<*nn
party, says GoV. McKinley, now stands for
protection and reciprocity. wOhdcr that
hv favors the reciprocity added to his bill by
tho Semite. You may explore the pages of
burlesque literature for anything more su
premely tedious than the so-culled reciprocity
of the McKinley bill.
It I* no: reciprocity at all. It Is rettiliatlon,
and, worst of all, retnlliitlon on our own peo
ple. It punches American citizens for tbL*
necessities or the follies of other people. It
mys to a few little(rountrles south of us; If
you are forced by your necessities or led by
your follies to make broad higher and scarcer
to your |M‘oplc we will make shoes and suirar
higher an I waroer to our people.
And now wo are told that reciprocity is to bo
their buttle cry. Already we are ren:iil<>d with
plctur<*s of Hcnjamln Harrison clad in armor
and voinir forth to battle tor reciprocity on a
plumed steed. Simple Simeon, fishing for

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.

When the delegates assembled for tbq
(inal work It was plainly notlcrahiq
that most of them ware tired and evi.
dently anxious to get through with thq
work and atari for home. The excite,
ment and fatlgne of the night session
was too much for them, and although
the leaders were lu active confereucea
here and there tbe majority were con
tent to alt down and await proceediuga.
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.
The roll call of States was then or
dered, resulting in tho nomination of
Stevenson on tho first ballot.
Tha nomination was then made unan
