question was settled. and he believed Mr.
McKinley would he unanimously nomi-

extent that there could be no other out.

ally resolved the" announcement with a
grim smile. but declined to be quoted.
Senator uay salti that he did not censid~

should declare itself. as much would de-

hardly a show of opposition from the per-
sons who hail been expected to iilako a bit
tor fight against the Ohio man. The in-
structions went through with a rush
which surprised even the most enthusias-
tic friends of Mr. McKinley, and although
there was a vigorous cry of “Nay" when
the adoptioniof the platform containing
the resolutions was moved, the chairman’s
decision that the resolutions were adopted
went unchallenged. and no division was
called for. The widely circulated rumors
that its-President Harrison would deliver
an address heforu the convention which
would make McKinley instructions im
possible proved devoid of foundation. He
did not appear.

favor the nomination as president of the
United States of the man who perfectly
represents a prohctivc tariff and the car

a man who has devoted his life to the de-
lease of his country in war anti in peace;
one who. at l7, fought with Hayes and
Greek and Sheridan at Antietelu and in
the Shenandoah in defense of our flag
against foes within, and for it years in
congress contended against our country’s
fees from without. heating back British
free trade and aggression. which finally,
under the present Democratic administra-

and has almost destroyed our industries;
a man who, with the resistless shibboleth
“Protection and Prosperity." has chal'

state convention was held at the opera
house in this city. The temporary organ

Speaker James J. Bergen as chairman,
ex- Assemblyman John J. Matthews at
Union. William Piniard of Monmouth and
Samuel Bemple of Burlington as secreto-

Upon taking the chall- Mr. Bergen made
a vigorous address. touching on state and
national issues. Mr. liergen at the con-
clusion of his speech announced that he
desired that his friends would not press-
his name for permanent chairman and
that that honor might go to Assemblyman
Queen.
The following platform was adopted:.
The Democracy of the state of New Jer-
sey. by its representatlgs in convention
assembled, declare as IIch upon the
vital questions which now concern the
welfare of the people of the United States:
We are in favor of a_ firm. uuvarylng
nlalntenaiico of the present gold standard.
We are opposed to the free coinage of all-
ver at any ratio and to the compulsory
purchase of silver bullion by the govern-
ment.
We believe that the interests of the peo-
ple demand that the earnings of trade, as
riculture. liianufacul-e and commerce.
anti especially the wages of labor, should
be paid in money of the greatest intrinsic
value and of the highest standard adopted
by the civilized nations of the World. We
are therefore iinalterahly opposed to all
devices and schemes for the debaseluent of
our c.urroncy ,
Against Treasury Notes.
We ellevc that the federal government
shoul he divorced from the business oi
honking. We therefore demand the repeal
of all laws authorizing the issue or reissue
of legal tender or treasury notes by the
government. They should form no part of
the currency of the people. We favor the
enactment by congress of such legislation
as will insure a banking currency amplr
in volume for all the needs of business.
absolutely secure iii every contingency and
at all times redeemable in gold. Woareopo
posed to any effort to alter materially the
present just and conservative tariff:
First, because such tariff is sufficient to
provide adequate revenue for an economic
ally administered goverpmcnt.
Second, because it is ample to protect
American workingmeu from the compo
titlou of foreign labor.
Third, because an attempt to alter the
present tariff would tend to unsettle the
business of the country.
We favor liberal expenditures to estab-
lish and maintain adequate coast defenses
and a navy strong enough to defend our
rights and enforce our just demands at
i home and abroad.
We commend the wise and conservative
administration of our president. Grovel
Cleveland. His services on hphaif of
sound finance and a stable currency entitle
him to the gratitude of the people.
We also indorse his courageous and pa
triotlc stand in resisting the ptte‘mpteil on
eroaclilnent of Great llrltaln upon the lor-
ritory of a free American state and pledge
] our allegiance to the fundamental doctrine
aria-install by Thomas Jefferson and re

the southern portion of the state the san-

The fact that Mr. Cleveland has not ex.
pressed himself as willing to accept the
nomination was the only thing that pre-
vented an effort to instruct thetdelcgates
' for his ronomlnation. The Cevcland scu-
tiliicnt in the convention was strong. and
the effort might have proved successful
had it been made. .
