This was the signal for" the wildest cheer- ing of the session. In the resolutions comimttpe Senator Hill offered a resolution commending the honesty, courage and fidelity of the pres- ent Democratic administration. Senator Tillman moved to lay on the table, and the vote taken by yeas and nays was car— ried—29 yeas, 17 says. ~ The chairman was then authorized to report the platform as adopted to the con— vention. ~ THE PLATFORM. * Declaration of Principles of the Demo- ~ cratic Convention. CHICAGO, July 9.—-The platform, as pre- sented to the convention by the majority of the committee on resolutions, is as fol- lows: . We, the Democrats of the United States, in do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential prin- ciples of justice and liberty upon which our , institutions are founded and which the Demo- cratic party has maintained from J efierson’s time to our own—freedom of speech. freedom of the press, freedom of conscience. the pres- ervation of personal rights. the equality of all citizens before the law and the faithful observance of constitutional limitations. Recognizing that the money question is par- amount to all others at this time, We invite attention to the fact that the federal constitu- . tion ,names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States. and that the first coinage law passed by congress un- der the constitution made the silver dollar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver dol- lar unit. We declare that the act of 1873 demonetizing silver without the knowledge or approval of the American people has resulted in the appre- ciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices of commodities produced by the people, a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts public and private, the en- richment of the money lending class at home and abroad, paralysis of industry and impov-_ erishment of the people. ' We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, which has locked fast the pros- perity of an industrious people in the paraly- sis of hard times. Gold monometallism is a British policy. founded upon British greed for gain and power, and its general adoption has brought other nations to financial servitude It is not only un-American. but anti-American, and it can be fastened upon the United States only by the stifling of that in- domitable spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political independence in 17'36 and won it in the war of Revolution. ' We demand the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent the de- monetization of any kind of legal tender mon- ey by private contract. We are opposed to the policy. and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such ob- ligations in either silver coin or gold coin. We are opposed to the issuing of interest bearing bonds of the United States in times of peace and condemn the trafficking with bank- ing syndicates, which, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, sup- ply the federal treasury with gold to main- tain the policy of gold monometallism. _ ~ Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to cor- porations or individuals. We therefore de- mand that the power to issue notes to circu- late as money be taken from the banks and that all paper money shall .be issued directly by the treasury department. We hold that tarifi duties should be levied solely for purposes of revenue and that taxa- tion should be limited by the needs of the government, honestly and economically ad- ministered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has been twice con- demned by the people in national elections and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home industry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many. restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets. Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for further changes in our tarifi laws except such as are necessary to make up the deficit in revenue caused by the adverse decision of the supreme court on the income tax. There would be no deficit in the federal rev- enue but for the annulment by the supreme court of a law passed by a Democratic con- gress in strict pursuance of the uniform deci- sions‘of that court for nearly 100 years. that court having sustained constitutional objec- tions to its enactment which have been over; ruled by the ablest judges who had ever set on that bench. We declare that it is the duty of congress to use all the constitutional power which rpmains after that decision, or which may come from its reversal by the court as it may hereafter be constituted, so that the bur- dens of taxation may be equally and impartial- ly laid, to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of the expenses of the government. The obstruction to an income tax.“ which the supreme court discovered in the constitution after it had lain hidden for 100 years, .must be removed. to the end that accumulated wealth may be made to bear its just share of the bur- dens of the government. We therefore favor an amendment to the federal constitution that will permit the levy of an income tax. We hold that the most efficient way of pro- tecting American labor is to prevent the im- portatiOn of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market and that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious monetary system which depresses the prices of their products below the cost of produc tion and thus deprives them 6! the means of satiifying their needs. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by the oppress- ive taxationand the lavish appropriations of recent Republican congresses. which have kept taxes high while the labor that pays them is unemployed and the products of the people’s toil are depressed in price till they no longer repay the cost of production. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which - 8 best befits a Democratic government and a re- duction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the p ople. * e denounce arbitrary interference by fed- eral authorities in local aflairs as a violation of the constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions. and we espe- cially object to government by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppres- sion by which federal judges. in contempt of the laws of the states and the rights of citi- zens, become at once legislator, judge and ex- cutioner. and we approve the bill passed at the last session of the United States senate and now pending in the housei relative to con- tempts in federal courts and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. No discrimination should be indulged by the government of the United States in favor of any of its debtors. We approve of the refusal of the Fifty-third congress to pass the Pacific railroad funding bill and denounce the eflort of the present Republican congress to enact a similar measure. , ‘ Recognizing the dust claims of deserving Union soldiers. we heartily indorse the rule of Commissioner Murphy that -no names shall be arbitrarily dropped from the pension roll. and the. fact of! -enhstpiem and, service should he a... ., THEEVENING GAZETTE :- -- , _ ' ‘We extend our sympathy to the people of Cu- be in their heroic struggle for liberty and in- dependence. -We are opposed to life tenure in the public service. We favor appointments based upon merit. fixed terms of ofiice and such an ad- ministration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of as- certained fitness. We declare it to be the unwritten law of this republic, established by custom and usages of 100 years and sanctioned by the examples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our government, that no man should be eligible for a third term of the presidential office. Confiding in the justice of our cause and the necessity of its success at the polls. we sub- mit the foregoing declaration of principles and purposes to the considerate judgment of the American people. We invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who de- sire to have them made efiective through leg- islation for the relief of the people and the restoration of the country’s prosperity. Tennessee's Vote Goes etc Bland. CHICAGO, July 9.-—The Tennessee dele- gation reached a presidential vote after a long and warm caucus. The voices of the delegates and outside representatives of Mr. Boies Were heard pleading for and against the Iowan. Mr. Bland’s support- ers were barely in the majority when it came to a vote, 13 being recorded for the Missouri man, 10 for Boies and Senator Harris absent. The speeches in support of Mr. Bland were made by the delegates,’ while Mr. Boies"'cause was advocated by J. V. Sovereign and L. T. Genung. , Un- der the unit rule, which governs the action of the delegation, the 24 votes of Tennes- see wiil be cast on the first ballot for Mr. Bland. I Wants Teller or Sibley. CHICAGO, July 9. —-Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson of Kansas, one of the best known Populists in the country, talked on candidates today. He said: “If the Democrats will nominate Teller of Colo- rado or Sibley of Pennsylvania, the Popu- list convention will ratify the nomina- tion. We will not ratify the nomination of Bland if it is made. Teller is a national man. Sibley is a very liberal Democrat, with a consistent record for silver, but Bland is such a Democrat as we cannot support. To ratify him would be to give up our party organization.” THE TWO-THIRDS RULE. Preparations of the Silver Men to Abro- gate It if Necessary. CHICAGO, July 9.-—-The action of the committee on rules in voting down—25 to 16—the motion of Mr. Scott of New York to make the rules of the last convention the permanent rules of this one, including the unit and the two-thirds rule, and in adopting the motion of Senator Elect Money of Mississippi that the rules of the last convention and of the Fifty-third con- gress be continued in this convention “un- til further orders,” is regarded as a plan of the silver people to meet an emergency, if it should arise, m‘aking necessary the abrogation of the two-thirds rule. The re- sult of the vote on temporary chairman had the effect of causing many of the sil- ver men to think that it may still be nec- essary to abrogate this rule. They expect to gain some votes over the vote cast for Daniel in his contest with Hill, but are unable to determine where they will se— cure the 64 votes necessary over the 556 cast for Senator Daniel to secure the nom- ination of a presidential candidate under the two-thirds rule. They count confident- ly upon securing 2 of the votes cast by Maine for Senator Hill and 3 of those from West Virginia, which also went to Senator Hill. They also count confidently upon the convention ratifying the action of the credentials committee in regard to the contests in Michigan, Nebraska, etc. They will also gain 20 votes on the in- crease of the territorial votes from 2 to 6. But they are prepared, however, to find the gold vote standing very solid, and will meet the emergency if required to do so by abrogating the rule. Some of the silver leaders, notably Governor Altgeld, are openly advocating the change, but a majority are opposed to the course except as a last resort. DANIEL AND BRYAN GHEEBED. The Boy Orntor Talks About Who Should Be In the Party. CHICAGO, .July 9.—The Sherman House was the scene of an enthusiastic im- promptu gathering of silver men with brass band accompaniments and Tempo- rary Chairman Daniel and ex-Congress- man Bryan of Nebraska as the oratorical attractions. General W. A. Clark, chair- man of the Montana delegation, introduced Senator Daniel from the parlor gallery. The senator said he had been one of the advocates of silver who had never deviated since he became a servant of the cause and was in it to stay 25 years, if he lived, to beat down the efforts of the autocrats of Europe to dictate to the United States. The next speaker, W. J. Bryan, was loudly cheered. He intimated at the start that the gold delegates from Nebraska had more right in a Republican convention than in a Democratic. There'was no doubt as to the result of this campaign. It was no use considering details. It was the gen- eral issue whether this country could gov- ern itself. It was the campaign of 1776 over again. - After others had spoken Senator Daniel held .a handshaking reception, and the band played on. ' DEATH OF THE YOUMANSES. Further Particular-p of the Drowning of Two Americans. BERGEN, Norway, July 11.—Further par- ticulars regarding‘the accident which re- sulted in the death of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Youmans of New York show that they formed part of a party of 17 ladies and two entlemen who were driving, via Voss and Eide, to Gudvangen. The Youmanses were a little in advance of the party in a light cart. They saw a reindeer, and the driver drew the cart across the road in order that. Mr. Youmans might photograph the ani- mal. The driver dropped the reins in so doing, and while preparations were being made to take the photograph the horse, plagued by files, backed over a steep bank into the lake. The driver succeeded in jumping ofi, but Mr. and Mrs. Youmans, who wore strapped in, Were unable to escape and Were drowned. |‘ Tim Keefe Out. ST.

Leander Crew Wins ‘From New Col- lege After a Fine Struggle. DOCTOR lVI’DOWBLL BEATBN. The Chicagoan Outrowed by Beaumont and Put Out of the Finals—Leander , Looks Like? the Winner of the Grand Challenge Trophy. up“ HENLEY-ON-THAMES, July 9.-—After a somewhat noisy night, during which the friends of the Yale men made Henley rather lively, even for regatta time, the second day of rowing opened, hot, humid and with variable airs. The course pre- sented the same animated and crowded scene. but everywhere there was a marked absence of the Yale and American colors which were so conspicuous yesterday. On all sides were heard expressions of regret at the defeat of ' Yale, and this was the case even among the Leander men who took part in the defeat of the popular American crew. But this regretful feel- ing prevailed especially among the natives of Henley, for the "sudden flight of crowds of Americans deprived the little town of much of the golden harvest which it ex- pected to reap. - The members of the Yale crew, how- ever, were not among those who departed from the battlefield. They were all well today and occupied seats on the grand stand, where they were the objects of much interest and the recipients of much hearty, sportsmanlike sympathy. The interest of the day oentere in the contests for the Diamond sculls and the ~‘ Grand Challenge cup. In the fifth heat of the diamonds the Hon. B. Guinness, hold- or of the trophy, beat Vivian Nickalls, and in the fifth heat for the Grand Chal- lenge cup Leander beat New college. These were both popular victories. Yet there was a lack of that gi‘and enthusiasm displayed yesterday upon the occasion of the race between Yale and Leander. There was considerable excitement .when Leander and New college made for the starting line in the fifth heat for the Grand Challenge cup, and it increased when the crews got away. Leander had the Bucks station and won by half a length. Barring accidents, the experts say, Leander is now certain of winning the Grand Challenge cup. The umpire’s launch carried the coaches of the crews, including Robert J. Cook, to the starting point, where both creWS were found waiting. The crowd at the start Was larger than yesterday. Both boats got away promptly, with the two crews row- ing a tremendous stroke of over 43. New college shot ahead, and on clearing the island had a lead of a quarter of a length. At the end of a minute New was clear of Leander and dropped to a 38 stroke, while the Leanders were pulling 42. “They’ve got it,” said the Leanders' coach in the launch. “ We’re beaten.” A Desperate Finish. This turned out to be a false alarm, for the Leanders, stroked by Gold, who rowed magnificently, began slow1y to dverhaul the New college men. Fawley Court was reached in 3:20, with New college still leading, but steering wide and evidently in trouble. At the Meadows the two boats were level, and at the mile Leander was leading by two men, time 5 minutes 13 seconds. Now, however, would not give up 'and it looked like!) desperate fin- ish. Just at this point the wind, which had all through the race been blowing strongly from the southwest, came in strong gusts, fairly stopping the New col- lege boat, and Leander won one of the hardest fought races ever seen at Henley. Guy Nickalls, the .No. 6, was worth two men, especially at the finish. Both crews were terribly exhausted. Dawson of the New college crew tumbled over, complete- ly'done up, and the Leanders were in lit- tle better condition. Gold held on to his car, but he did so with his head back, and it was a long time before he could get breath. Naturally, such an exciting race caused the greatest enthusiasm ashore. and the Yale men were especially delighted at the fact that their victors would in all probability get the cup. Leander’s victory was due largely to the advantages of its station. V . ' In the second heat for the Thames Chal- lenge cup, for eight oars, Trinity Hall beat the Kingston Rowing club. In the fourth heat for the Grand Chal- lege cup the Thames ,Rowing club beat First Trinity. In the fifth heat for the Diamond sculls the Hon. R.
