’ ST. LOUIS, J une 1 8.—The day broke
bright and clear for the third day of the
convention.

There was an unobstructed path tothe
vital work of the party chieftains. The
report of the committee on resolutions
and the nominating of candidates lay di-
rectly ahead. The McKinley leaders had
arranged to push things through, and al-
though the preparations had been made to
adopt the platform and nominate McKin-
ley before taking a recess there was
much in the programme to appeal to the
imaginations on the advertised bolt of the
silver men, and the multitudes came with
buoyant step to enjoy the proceedings and
yell themselves hoarse when occasion de-
manded. Before the hour for calling the

‘ convention to order the wilderness of seats

in the galleries was black with the same
dense crowd of people and the hall roared
with ‘the dull, indescribable murmur of
thousands of human voices.

The heat in the convention hall, even
before 10 o’clock, became almost unbear-
able, and the ball as the day advanced be-
came like the torrid dryroom of a Turk-
ish bath. The humidity in the atmosphere
made the swaltering heat even more intol«

 

WILLIAM M’KINLEY.

arable. The delegates took their places
this morning without ostentaticn. Sen-
ator Teller and his silver associates formed
an interesting group as they stood confer-
ring with set faces. Governor Foraker,
chairman of the committee on resolutions,
consulted with Senator Lodge, Governor
Alger, e‘x-Governor Merriam and others
about the programme at the head of the
main aisle immediately in front of the
speaker’s stand. The lieutenants of Ho-
bart and Evans, the vice presidential can-
didates, who are pooling their issues
against Morton, moved about among the
delegates. Their astute and active allies
in the New York delegation aided them
materially. Warner Miller openly in-
formed delegates that if Morton’s name
was presented for vice president, he should
take the platform and speak against it.
Strong Feeling Manifest.

The utmost bitterness existed among
the friends and fees of the New York gov-
ernor, and a battle royal was promised
over the nomi tion. Platt, Lodge, Quay
and the anti- oKinley generals were at the
head of the Morton movement, and about
the result clung the only remaining un-
certainty cf the convention. At 10:20 the
band struck up a lively number. Mark
Hanna, with his hand on the staff of the

Ohio delegation just below the platform, .

held afinal, hurried and animated con-
sultation with his chief lieutenants in the
various delegations. When the band
ceased, some one on the platform intro-
duced a quartet from the McKinley club
of Nebraska, and they had the temerity to
attempt a campaign song without accom-
paniment. Their voices could no more
penetrate the sullen roar that filled the
hall than it could have carried against a
tornado howling along at the rate of 100
miles an hour. The people in the galleries
were absolutely oblivious of the fact that
the stirring words of a campaign song
were moving away in rhythmic sound
waves from the platform. Outside the
discordant clangs of a dozen bands play-
ing difierent tunes helped to drown what
chance the ambitious quartet had of
making itself heard. Just before the cons
vention was called to order a photographer
reared his camera on the edge of the plat-
form, and during the prayer, which fol-
lowed, while the galleries and delegates
were comparatively quiet, he managed to
secure a photograph.

At half past 10, in response to the gav-
el’s rap, the delegates arose for prayer.
The officiating minister was Dr. John R.
Scott of Jacksonville, Fla, the second
colored pastor who has conducted the de-
votional prelude. Although Dr. Scott’s
voice was a strong one, so great was the
confusion of entering delegates and spec--
tutors that it could be told only by the

movement of the minister’s lips that he
was praying. .

‘The first opportunity for the delegates
to use their voices, fresh after a night’s
rest was afforded when Chairman Thurs-
ton, without any preliminaries. plunged
into business by announcing that the first
thing on the programme was the report
of the committee on resolutions.

_ Forakcr to, the Fore.

Senator Elect Joseph B. Foraker of
Ohio crowded to the front and climbed
the steps to the stage while the crowds
sent up a shrill yell. '

The platform which he began to read
was with a few amendments in its ver-
biage, as pretiicted._ Senator Foraker ad-
justed apair of spectacles upon his scl-
dierly face and; furnished for .a moment
the ,samesdumbshow of ,a man talking
which the colored minister hadgiven, un-
til cries cf~-“<Louder!’.’ and “Order!” from
the galleries impelled him to a stronger
vocal effort. There was no opportunity in
reading'the platform for the fiery oratory
with which the Ohio man has often stirred
the conventions of: the past. He wore a

. short, black alpaca jacket and a black

string tie, and was a much less fashion-
able looking man than the delegates from
New York and Massachusetts, who sat be-
low him.

The platform, as adcpted by the conven-
tion, is as follows:

The Republicans of the United States, as-
sembled by their representatives in national
convention, appealing for the popular and his-
torical justification of their claims to the
matchless achievements of 30 years of Repub-
tican rule, earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelligences, ex-
perience and conscience of their countrymen
in the following declaration of facts and prin-
ciples. "

For the first time since the civil war the
American people have witnessed the calam-
itous consequences of full and unrestricted
Democratic control of the government. It has
been a record of unparalleled incapacity, dis-
honor and disaster. In administrative manage-
ment it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue. entailed an unceasing deficit, eked
out ordinary current expenses with borrowed

-money, piled up the public debt by $262,000,000

 

in time for peace, forced an adverse balance of

trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over
the redemption fund, pawned American credit
to alien syndicates and reversed all the meas-
ures and results d successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy it has
precipitated panic, blighted ' industry and
trade with prolonged depression, closed fac-
tories. reduced work and wages, halted enter-
prise and crippledAmerica'n production while
stimulating foreign production for the Amer-
ican market. Every consideration of public
safety and individual interest demands that
the government shall be rescued from the
hands of those who have shown themselves m-
capable to conduct it without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad and restored to the party
which for 80 years administered it with un-
equaled success and prosperity. And in this
connection we heartily indorse the wisdom.
patriotism and success of the administration
of President Harrison.

THE Tartan—We renew and emphasize our
allegiance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of American industrial indepéndence
and the foundation of American development
and prosperity. This true American policy
taxes foreign products and encourages home
industry. It puts the burden of revenue on
foreign goods. It secures the American market
for the American producer. It upholds the
American standard of wages for the American
workingman. It puts the factory by the side
of the farm and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and price.
It diffuses general thrift and founds the
strength of all on the strength of each.‘ In its
reasonable application it is just, fair and im-
partial, equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimnation
and individual favoritism.

We denounce the Democratic tarifi as see-
tional, injurious to the public credit and de-
structive to business enterprise. We demand
such an equitable tarifi on foreign imports
which come into competition with American
products as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses of the gov-
ernment, but will protect American laborfrom
degradation to the wage level of other lands.
We are not pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates is a practical question to
be governed by the conditions of the time and
of production. The ruling and uncompromis-
ing principle is the protection and development
of American labor and industry. The country
demands a right settlement, and then it wants
rest.

RECIPROCITY.—Wa believe the repeal of the
reciprocity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a national
calamity, and we demand their renewal and
extension on such terms as will equalize our
trade with other nations, remove the restric-
tions which now obstruct the sale of American
products in the ports of other countries and
secure enlarged markets for the products of
our farms, forests and factories.

Protection and reciprocity are twin measures
of Republican policy and go hand in hand.
Democratic rule has recklessly struck down
both, and both must be reestablished—protec-
tion for what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries of life which we do not pro-
duce, reciprocal agreements of mutual inter-
ests which gain open markets for us in return
for our open market to others. Protection
builds up domestic industry and trade and se-
cures our own market for ourselves. Reci-
procity builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

SUGAB.-—We condemn the present adminis~
tratiou for not keeping faith with the sugar
producers of this country. The Republican
party favors such protection as will lead to the
production on American soil of all the sugar
which the American people use and for which
they pay other countries more than $100,000,000
annually.

WOOL.—TO all our products—to those of the
mine and the field as well as to those of the
shop and the factory, to hemp, to wool, the
product of the great industry of sheep hus-
bandry as well as to the finished woolens of
the mill—we promise the most ample protec-
tion.

MERCHANT MARINE. — We favor restoring
the early American policy of discriminating
duties for the upbuilding of our merchant
marine and the protection of our shipping in
the foreign carrying trade, so that American
ships—the product of American labor, em-
ployed in American shipyards. sailing under
the stars and stripes and manned, officered
and owned by Americans—may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.

MONEY. —The Republican party is unreserv-
edly for sound money. It caused the enact-
ment of the law providing for the resumption
of specie payments in 1879, and sina then
every dollar has been as good as gold.

We are unalterably opposed to every measure
calculated to debase our currency or impair
the credit of our country. We are therefore
opposed to the free coinage of silver except by
international agreement with the leadi com-
mercial nations of the world, which pledge
ourselves to promote, and until such agree-
ment can be obtained the existing gold stand-
ard must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolably the obligations of the
United States and all our money, whether
coin or paper, at the present standard. the
standard of the most enlightened nations of
the earth.

Primrose—The veterans of the Union army
deserve and should receive fair treatment and
generous recognition. Whenever practicable
they should be given preference in the matter
of employment, and they are entitled to the
enactment of such laws as are best calculated
to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made
to them in the dark days of the country’s peril.

We denounce the practice in the pen n bu-
reau so recklessly and unjustly carr on by
the present administration of redu g pen-

sions and arbitrarily dropping names from the
rolls as deserving the severest condemnation
of the American people.

FOREIGN RELATIONS—Our foreign policy
should be at all times firm, vigorous and dig-
nified and all our interests in the western
hemisphere carefully watched and guarded-
The Hawaiian Islands should be controlled by
the United States, and no foreign power should
be permitted to interfere with them. The
Nicaraguan canal should be built, owned and
operated by the United States, and by the
purchase of the Danish islands we should se-
cure a proper and much needed naval station
in the West Indies.

ARMENIAN Masseuse—The massacres of
Armenians have aroused the deep sympathy
and just indignation of the American people.
and we believe that the United States should
exercise all the influence it can properly exert
to bring these atrocities to an end. In Tur-
key. American residents have been exposed to
the gravest dangers and American property
has been destroyed. There and everywhere
American citizens and Am‘fcan property
must be absolutely protected at all hazards
and at any cost.

Mormon Docrnmn.—We reassert the Monroe
doctrine in its full extent, and we reafllrm the
right of the United States to give the doctrine
efiect by responding to the appeals of any
American state for friendly intervention in
case of European encroachment. We have not
interfered and shall not interfere with the ex—
isting possessions of any European power in
this hemisphere, but those possessions must
not on any pretext be extended. We hopefully
look forward to the eventual withdrawal of
the European powers from this hemisphere
and to the ultimate union of all English speak-
ing parts of the continent by the free consent
of its inhamts. '

CUBA.— . the hour of achieving their
own independence the people of the United
States have regarded with sympathy the strug-
gles of other American peoples to free them-
selves from European domination. We watch
with deep and abiding interest the heroic bat-
tle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and
oppression. and our best hopes go out for the
full success of their determined contest for
liberty. The government of Spain, having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to protect
the property or lives of resident American rxit-
izens or to comply with its treaty obligations.
we believe that the government of the Uniwd
States should use its influence and good offices
to restore peace and give independence to the
island. «

Tun NAvv.—The peace and securfiy’cf the
republic and the maintenance of its rightful
influence among the nations of the earth de-
mand .a naval power commensurate with its
position and responsibility. We therefore
favor the continued enlargement of the navy
and a complete system of harbor and Seacoast
defenses. '

 

’ FOREIGN IMMIGRATION—For the protection
of the quality of our Amerinm (itizenship and
of'the wages of our workinrmen against the
fatal competition of low 1:.I'icu1 labor we de-
mand that the immigration 1.:wsbe thoroughly
enforced and L—o uxt:.—mled as to exclude from
entrance to the United States those who can
neither read nor write.

CIVIL SERVICE.—Th0 civil service law was
placed on the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it, and we
renew our repeated declarations that it shall
be thoroughly and honestly enforced and ex-
tended wherever practicable.

FREE BALLOT.-—We demand that every citi-
zen of the United States shall be allowed to
cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that
such ballot shall be counted and returned as
cast.

LYNCHINGS.——We proclaim our unqualified
condemnation of the uncivilized and barbarous
practice known as lynching or killing of hu-
man beings suspected or charged with crime
without process of law.

NATIONAL ARBITRATION.-We favor the cre-
etion of a national board of arbitration to set-
tle'and adjust differences which may arise be-
tween employers and employees engaged in
interstate commerce.

HOMESTEADs.-—We believe in an immediate
return to the free homestead policy of the Re-
publican party and urge the passage by cone
grass of the satisfactory free homestead meas-
ure which has already passed. the house and
is now pending in the senate.

TERRITORIES.—We favor the admission of
the remaining tergitogies at the earliestprac-
ticable date, having due regard to the inter-
ests of the people of the territories and of the
United States. All the federal officers ap-
pointed for the territories should be elected
from bona fide residents thereof, and the right
of self government should be accorded as far
as practicable.

ALABKA.—We believe the citizens of Alaska
should have representation in the congress of
the United States, to the end that needful leg-
islation may be intelligently enacted. ‘

TEMPERANCE.—We sympathize with all wise
and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote moral-
ity. ‘

RIGHTS or Woman—The Republican party
is mindful of the rights and interests of wo-
men. Protection of American industries in-
cludes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal
work and protection to the home. We favor
the admission of women to wider spheres of
usefulness, and we esteem their co-operation in
rescuing the country from Democratic and
Populist mismanagement and misrule.

Such are the principles and policies of the
Republican party. By these principles we
will abide and these policies we will put into
execution. We ask for them the considerate
judgment of the American people. Confident
alike in the history of our great party and in
the justice of our cause, we present our plat-
form and our candidates in the full assurance
that the election will bring victory to the Re-
publican party and prosperity to the people of
the United States.

The audience and delegateé followed the
reading with the keen'est interest.

The reference to the administration of
Benjamin Harrison evoked the first dem-
onstration, but louder still came the roar
when the platform pledged the party again
to the doctrine of. protection. The refer-
ence to the restoration of the policy of rec~
iprccity as the twin brother of protection
also came in for a round of applause. Pro-
tection to the sugar industry aroused the
Louisiana delegation to cheers, and the
merchant marine plank bromht the
Maine, Maryland and Massachusetts dele-
gations to their feet with three cheers.

The first sentence of the money plank,
pledging the party to “sound money,”
started a great uproar among the dele-
gates on the floor, but the galleries did
not participate until unalterable opposi-
tion to the free coinage of silver was read.
Then the delegates, led by Senator Lodge
and Colonel W. A. Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, rose en masse. Fans, canes and
hats waved wildly, until the pit looked
like a hurricane tossed sea, and the gal-
leries roared their approval. For two min-
utes the tumult continued.

The mention of the “gold standard,”
while received enthusiastically by the
Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York delegations, did not arouse
such great enthusiasm.

Hawaii and the Monroe doctrine were
applauded, but the enthusiasm over the
Cuban plank was a general disappoint-
ment. A very interesting incident oc—
curred, howaver, in this connection. As
the plank was read Colonel Fred Grant,
who sat on the platform with the distin-
guished guests, arose and wildly waved
about his head the flag of the Cuban revo-
lutionists.

The flag was that presented by the Cu-
ban junta to James Creelman, the Amer-
ican correspondent, when he was exiled
by General Welyer.

A Crucial Moment.

One of the critical moments of the con-
vention was at hand. The chairman an-
nounced that he would recognize to move
a substitute for the -majority report the
gentleman from Colorado, Mr. Teller.

The name of Teller set the westerners
wild.

In little scattering squads the handfuls
of delegations who had been sitting under
the banners of Colorado, of Idaho, of
Utah, of Nevada, California and Montana,
and some of those from Tennessee and
other western and southern states were
on their feet waving hats, flags, umbrel-
las, fans and handkerchiefs and shrieking

like madman. The fire spread to the galv
Ieries and swept across them until they
seemed to be almost unanimously car-rye
ing the cheer. It was an unusual division
of enthusiasm. Down in the arena.were
little patches of vocal fire blazing in small
spots here and there from a broad, dead
level, calm field of silence. For two or
three minutes the uproar continued.

Finally the western delegates tired of
their work and sank back tic-,their seats.
Then there fell over the house a deep, pro-
found calm, for history was to be made.
The political allegiance of half a dozen
states hung on the moment, and the
whole assembly recognized it.

The Silver Substitute.

The people listened to a man, while the
clerk proceeded to read the substitute
platform as follows:

We, the undersigned members of the;
committee on resolutions, being unable~
to agree with that portion of the majority

report which treats cf the subjects of coin-
age and finance, respectfully submit the
following paragraph as a substitute there-
for: .

“The Republican party favors the use
of both gold and silver as equal standard
money, and pledges its power to secure
the free, unrestricted and independent
coinage of gold and silver at United States
mints at the ratio of 16 parts of silver to
1 of gold. ”

Senator Teller, as he stood on the plat-
form to make his final protest to the Re-

publican party against the adoption of a '

801d standard policy, was a striking fig-
ure. Tall, gaunt, he were the frock coat
of the old time statesman. His face was
deep fun-owed with lines offithought, and
no one who beheld him as he stood and
surrendered all his old associations for a
deep convictioncn a single topic doubt-
ed his honesty of purpose.
Tellcr’s Farewell.

His general tone was one of sadness and
regret. He was given a most respectful
hearing by the delegates. but except for
those in sympathy there was no demon-
stration on the floor in the early part of
his address. '

The galleries, however, were at times
