THE CLOSING SCENES.
Grover Cleveland Nominated on the
First Ballot.
NEW YORK FALLS INTO LINE
Bourke Cockran's “Effort 0? His Life.”
The Nomination “'35 Made Unani-
mous—An Indescribable Hubbub
in the Early Morning Hours.
CHICAGO, June 24.—The great battle of
the Democratic convention is over and the
leveland forces have won the fight. The
opposition died hard, but swung into line
gracefully. Before the ballot was taken
the great feature was the remarkable elfort
of Bourke Cockran on behalf of Senator
Hill. It was probably the greatest work of
his life. The early morning scenes we1e
remarkable.
The crowd grew tired of the speeches 1n
the early morning and interrupted them
with catcalls and disorder.
and noise became so great that it was ut-

terly impossible to distinguish the words of
Senator Daniel seconding Hill’s nomination.
The hall was in great confusion, and there
were loud calls of “Time, time!” “Shut up 1”
“Give us a rest 1” and similar expressions.
It was noticed that the entire New York
delegation stood up in their seats, _and Mr.
Cockran, who was sitting at one of the and
seats, shook his massive head and ad-
dressed the chairman in an impassioned
manner.
Cockran Had.
A “This is outrageous,” said he, “and if-
New York cannot have a hearing in this
convention it is better to leave it.” [Loud
applause]
Patrick B. Eagan, of New York—It is
unfair. This convention is unfair. It 15 an
insult and we will resent it.
J. S. .Williams—I move that a sergeant-
at-arms and the head of the police get suf-
ficient assistance to clear the galleries.
[Loud applause from the delegates]
The Chairman—It is not the members of
the convention that are making the dis-
turbance, but the occupants of the gallery
generally.
Murray Smith, of Mississippi—I think it
is time for the deliberation of this conven-
tion to be no further interrupted by the
howling mob in the gallery. [Applause]
I move that the sergeant-at- arms with a
sumcient force of police shall clear the gal-
lery at once.
The motion was seconded amid a babel of
- confusion, catcalls and yells from the spec-
tators. and a number of the delegates were
on their feet, seemingly ready to depart
from the convention. There was utter
lack of any kind of discipline, either on the
part of the officers of the convention or of
the police present in the hall. Instead of
attending to their business the policemen
seemed to take a special interest in the ora-
tory and the confusion, and each, with
open mouth, seemed to think and act as
though his only object in attending the cou-
vention was to agree with the rabble in the ’
galleries.
Mr. Owens, of Kentucky, was recognized
and said, “I move you that this convention
adjourn until tomorrow at 11 o’clock.”
[Loud cries of “No, no,” and “Yes, yes.”]
The Chairman—The chair has directed
the sergeant-at-arms to use all the police
force in the house and all the deputy serv
geants-at—arms to suppress disorder when
ever it may occur. [Applause]
The confusion continuing and the aisles
being crowded with persons who had been
improperly admitted, Mr. Cockran asked
that the motion to adjourn be put.
Chairman Wilson refused to entertain it
because Senator Daniel had the floor.
Mr. Daniel was finally able to conclude
quite a. long speech in Hill’s behalf, and
then attention was given while John Geode,
also of Virginia, favored Cleveland’s nomi—-
nation.
J. D. Smidley, for Washington, seconded
Cleveland, as did G. F. Martin and John J.
Davis, of West Virginia, and Mr. Summerle,
of Wisconsin.
Delegate St. Clair, of West Virginia, sec-
ended Hill.

The confusion
ran, 01' New York, arose to make a state-
ment for New ' York, protesting against
Cleveland.
Mr. Cockran—Does that complete the call
of the roll of states?
The Chairman—The chair has just asked
a gentleman who sat in previous conven-
tions whether territories are called or not.
Mr. Cockran—I understand that the state
of N ew York has been passed, and my col-
leagues desire that I say a few words to the
convention. [Cries of “Platform, plat-
form.”] I have a request to make to the
convention, and I am about to ask its indul-
gence. [Cries of “Platform, platform. ”]
Pardon me, it is now five minutes to 2
o’clock. I am worn out physically. I think
the convention is worn out. It will be a
matter of great physical hardship to me to
address the convention now. . What I have
to say to it I think the extraordinary politi-
cal condition of the campaign makes it
necessary that I should say in all good
faith, all kindness for this body. But I ask
the indulgence of this convention that we
may now take a recess till 10 o’clock tomor-
row morning. [Loud cries of “No, no,”
“Yes, yes,” and confusion] There is ob«
jection and I will therefore take the plat.
form, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman—I present to you the Hon.
W. Bourke Cockran, of the state of New
York. [Loud applause.]
‘ Cockran’s Speech.
Mn. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN on THE
Coxvnsrron—Our state being threatened with
an invasion, and the invading force being of
our own political household. my associates in
the delegation have naked me to present to
this convention before it proceeds to take final
action upon the great question now before it,
a plain, quiet. friendly statement of the polit-
ical conditions of our state. 'I make this state-
ment to you, gentlemen, I will state in ad-
vance, in no spirit of unkindness to anybody,
no desire to find fault with whatever may be
the action of this convention, determined to
promise you in advance that whatever your
wisdom may decide. the Democracy of New
York could not be disloval if they tried to be.
We have had the action of our state foretold
for us, our loyalty pledged for us by gentlemen
who are about to reject our advice, and by
some gentlemen who have not hesitated to
taunt us.
Gentlemen. we will be loyal. but our experi-
ences in this body are apt to convince us that
there may be such a thing as too much loyalty
for our personal comfort. It seems to me that
the spirit in which this convention has ap-
proached this subj t is the profession of the
belief that New Y k Democratswill be loyal
anyhow. and because the vill be loyal they
must be outraged by the pa ty who depends on
their loyalty. We have come here to this con-
vention and, notwithstanding that fate to
which We are about to be led. we state to you
that if it be decided to cast aside the precedents
of a century, violate every notion of state
rights, as these notions should; be entertained
and cherished, and articles of; the Democratic
faith; if it be determined to thrust. down our
throats a nomination against which we protest;
if it be determined by this convention that
contumely shall be heaped upon the heads of
loyal soldiers, soldiers must still be loyal. no
matter what outrage may be perpetrated
against them by the party or the cause which
they serve.
But. gentlemen, while the members of this
delegation in this convention. while the mem-
bers of the great organization which we repre-
sent will be loyal to the action of this body,
no matter what its action may be, there is in
the state of New York a. vote which cannot be
controlled by political machinery, and that is
not always the mugwump vote. The distin-
guished gentleman from New Jersey who pro- 3
posed the name othir. Cleveland, and some of
the gentlemen woho seconded the nomination.
seemed to have reached the impression that the
business of the Democratic party is to officer
its convention, shape its policies .and name its
candidate in order to please an element that
despises our party and ,derides its history and
professes superiority to it.
Mr. Chairman. it is said there is an inde-
pendent element that will accept. a certain
candidacy and no other; that there is an ele-
ment that will accept the candidacy because
it is better than the Democratic party; that
the candidate is superior to the party from
which he springs, and so they will support the
man while they will continue to deride and
denounce the party. If there be in all this
world anything better than the Democratic
party, I want to see it and to get into it. I
have never knewn the Republican that I am
not willing to welcome into the party if he
professes a desire to be a Democrat. God for-
bid that this party of ours, whose growth is the
hope of the nation. shall close its doors against
a man who is ready to profess its faith and en-
list in its armies. But what we do protest
against 1n New Yor‘ r is that our party shall be
surrendered into the contxol of those who do-
spise and dislike it that one man may be ex-
alted and the Democ rat1c hosts may be de-
graded.
Mr. Chairman. let me say to this convention
inaspirit of entire candor and in the same
spirit of friendly discussion in which I hope to
continue and conclude. that it is not surpris-
ing to me that Mr. Cleveland should be popu-
lar in other states. It is not surprising to me
above all that he should be popular in Repub-
lican states. You gentlemen who live outside
the state of New York remember him only as
the last Democratic president and the only
Democratic president who ever administered
the affairs of this nation within the memory
of most of you. All your associations with him
were pleasant ones; all your memories of him
are probably grateful ones. He was the only
man whose career brought you in close touch
with the great federal government which you
support by your taxes and which you would
befriend with your lives if it were in danger.
For four years you have seen nothing of him.
For four years he has passed 011' the stage, and,
except an occasional letter written to some
friend upon some public question, you have
had no evidences even of his existence except
those memories of which I have spoken.
But with us, gentlemen, in the state of New
York, let me say to you in kindness, let me say
it to you in no spirit of disparagement of him
as a man, or of his history. or of his record as
an administrative officer. of his patriotism as a
man, of his virtue as a citizen—let me say. I
repeat. that in the state of New York for four
years the forces that have invoked his name,
the men who have assumed to speak of the
Cleveland Democracy are the men over whose
bodies the Democratic party has been com—
pelled to march to' victory. We were told in
the campaign of 1888 that the Democratic
nomination for governor was not up tothe
Cleveland standard, and men are now here
from New York state supporting his candi-
dacy who then headed a bolt against the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Well, the people were not up to the Cleve-
land standard. but they were up to the Demo-
cratic standard by 20,000 majority. Ever since
be vacated his office the ex-cabinet minister,
who lived in the state of New York, with one
exception—and he was 'too busy to attend to
politics—every federal ofilccholder who drew
salary from the federal treasury. during his
administration was-arrayed against us in the
same mugwump opposition which had for its
aim and its purpose the turning over of the
~v-—'- «—

state'or .New it own to me itepublicau party un-
less the Democracy would pay blackmail to
the mugwumps.
“’8 met their challenge and we overthrew
them. We had marched by steadily increas-
ing majorities from victory to victory. until. as
you were told by Colonel Fellows tonight, the -
statevof New York is as Democratic as Texas.
But throughout all those four years those men
who have assumed to speak of the Cleveland
Democracy as their own especial property have
been the foes of every Democratic measure
which the Democratic party supported, and
which the Democratic party wrung from Re-
publican hostility.
Full Text of the Democratic Declara-
tion of Principles.
PBbTEGTION DENOUNGED.
CHICAGO, Juné 24.-—The following is the
full text of. the national Democratic plat-
form, as adopted by the convention:
Sec. 1. The representatives of the Democratic
party of the United States in national conven-
tion assembled do reaffirm their allegiance to
the principles of the party as formulated by
Jefferson and exemplified by the long and
illustrious line of his successors in Democratic
leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We
believe the public welfare demands that these
principles be applied to the conduct of the fed-
eral government through accession to power
of the party that advocates them; and we sol—
emnly declare that the need of In return to
these fundamental principles 'of free popular
government. based on home rule and individ-
ual liberty, was never more urgent than now,
when the tendency to centralize all power at
the federal capital has become a menace to the
reserved rights of the states that strikes at the
very roots of our government and under the
constitution as framed by the fathers of the
republic.
Sec. 2. We warn the people of our common
country jealous for the preservation of their
free institutions that the policy of the federal
control of elections. to which the Republican
party-has committed itself, is fraught with the
gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than
would result from a revolution practically es-
tablishing monarchy on the ruins of the re-
public. It strikesat the north as well as at the.
south, and injures the colored citizen even
more than the white; it means ahorde of depu-
ty marshals at every polling r‘ e. armed with
federal power. returning boar appointed and
controlled by federal authority, the outrage of
the electoral rights of the people in the several
states. the subjugation of the colored people to
the control of the party in power, and the re-
viving of race Mtagonisms non- happily abat-
ed, of the utmost peril to the. 5.1 fury and hap-
piness of 3.11:3. measure delibex atoll and justly
described by a leading Republi l. m senator as
“the most infamous bill that ev c1 crossed the
threshold of the senate. "
Such a policy. if sanctioned by law would
mean the dominance of a self perpetuating oli-
garchy of omceholders. and the party first in-
trusted with‘lts machinery could be dislodged
from power only by an appeal to the reserved
right of the people to resist oppression whichis
inherent in all self governing communities.
Two years ago this revolutionary policy was
emphatically condemned by the people at the
polls; but in contempt of that verdict the Re-
publican party. has defiantly declared in its
latest authoritative utterance that its success
in the coming 'elections will mean the enact-
ment of the force bill and the usurpation of
despotic control ovdr elections' 1n all the states.
Believing that the preservation of Republican
government in the United States is dependent
upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force
and fraud. we invite the assistance of all citi-
zens who desire to see the constitution main-
tained in its integrity with the laws pursuant
thereto which have given our country a hun-
dred years of unexampled prosperity; and we
pledge the Democratic party. if it be intruated
with power, not only to the defeat of the force
bill. but also to relentless opposition to the Re-
publican policy of profiigate expenditure,which
in the short space of two years, has squandered
an enormous surplus and emptied an overflow-
ing treasury. after piling new burdens of taxa-
tion upon the already overtaxed labor of the
country.
Sec. 3. We denounce the McKinley tariff
law enacted by the Fiftydirst congress as
the culminating atrocity of class” legisla-
tion; we indorse the efforts made by the Dem- -
ocrats of the present congress to modify
its most oppressive features in the direction of
free raw material and cheaper manufactured
goods that enter into home consumption. and
we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent
results that will follow the action of the people
in intrusting power to the Democratic party.
Since the McKinley tariff went into operation
there have been ten reductions of wages of la-
boring men to one increase. “’e deny that
there has been any increase of prosperity to
the country since that tariff went into opera»
tion. and we point to the dullness and distress.
the wage reductions and strikes in the iron
trade as the best possible evidence that no
such prosperity has resulted from the McKin-
ley ac.
We call the attention of thoughtful Ameri-
cans to the fact that after thirty years of re-
strictive taxation against importations of
foreign products 1n exchange for our agricul-
tural surplus, the homes and farms of the
country have become burdened with a. real
estate mortgage debt of over two thousand five
hundred million dollars. exclusive of all other
forms of indebtedness; that in one of the chief
agricultural states of the west there appears a
real estate mortgage debt averaging ’ $165 per
capita, and that similar conditions are shown
to exist in other agricultural exporting states.
We denounce a policy which fosters no indus-
try so much as it does that of the sheriff. We
denounce Republican protection as a fraud; a
robbery of the great majority of the American-
people for the benefit of the few. We declare
it to be a fundamental principle of the Demo-
cratic party that the federal government has
no constitutional power to enforce and collect
tariff duties excrfit for the purpose of revenue
only. and demand that the collection of such
taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the
government and honestly and economically
administered.
Sec. 4. Trade interchange on the basis of re-
ciprocal advantage to the countries partici-
pating is a time honored doctrine of the Dem-
ocratic faith, but we denounce the sham reci-
procity which j ugglcs with the people's desire
for enlarged foreign markets and freer or:-
changes by pretending to establish t1adc1 rel 1-
tions for a country \1 hose 111. ll lcs of or}. m:

Ice. '.8 The Republican party, while profes-
lng a policy of "serving the public lands for
small holdings by actual settlers, has given
away the people’ 3 heritage. until now a few
railroads, nonresident aliens—individual and
corporate—possess a larger area. than that of
all our farms between the two seas. The last
Democratic administration reversed the im-
provident and unwise policy of the Republican
party touching the public domain. and re-
claimed from corporations and syndicates—
alien and domestic—and restored to the people
nearly momma acres of valuable land to be
sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens,
and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy
until every acre of land so unlawfully held
shall be reclaimed and restored to the people.
See. ’I'. We denounce the Republican legisla-
tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a
cowardly makeshift. fraught with possibilities
of danger in the future which should make all
of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious
for its speedy repeal. ‘Ve hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard money of
the country, and to the coinage of both gold
and silver without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage; but the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be
of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or be
adjusted by international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance of the parity of the two met- _
ale and the equal power of any dollar at all
times' in the market and in- the payment of
debts: and we demand. that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeemable in
such coin. We insist upon this policy as es-
pecially necessary for the protection of the
farmers and laboring classes. the first and
most defenseless victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.
Sec. 8. We recommend that the prohibitive
10 per cent. tax on bank issues be repealed.
Sec. 9. Public office is a public trust. We re-
affirm the declaration of the Democratic na-
tional convention of 1876 for the reform of the
civil service, and we call for the honest c 11-
forcement of all laws regarding same. The
nomination of a president. asin the last Re—
publican convention, by delegates consisting
largely of his appointees holding ofllce at his
pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon free popu-
lar institutions and a startling illustration of
the methods by which a president may gratify
his ambition. We denounce a policy under
which federal officeholders usurp control of
party conventions in the states, and we pledge
the Democratic party to the reform of these
and all other abuses which threaten individual
liberty and local self government.
Sec. 10. The Democratic party is the only
party that has ever given the country a. foreign
policy, consistent and vigOrous, compelling re-
spect abroad and inspiring confidence at home.
While avoiding entangling alliances, it has
aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other
nations and especially with our neighbors on
the American continent, whose destiny is close-
ly linked with our own, and we view with
alarm, the tendency to a. policy of irritation
and bluster which is liable at any time to con-
front us with the alternative of humiliation or
war. We favor the maintenance of a navy
strong enough for all purposes of national de-
fense and to properly maintain the honor and
dignity ml the country abroad.
Sec. 11:. This country has always been the
refuge of the oppressed from every land—exiles
for conscience sake—and in this spirit of the
founders of our government we condemn the
oppressidn practiced by the Russian govern-
ment upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects,
and we call upon our national government, in
the interest of justice and humanity, by all
just and proper means, to use its prompt and
best efforts to bring about a cessation of these
cruel persecutions in the dominions of the czar
and to secure to the oppressed equal rights.
We tender our'profcund and earnest sympa-
thy to those lovers of freedom who are strug-
gling for home rule and the great cause of self
government in Ireland.
Sec. 12. We heartily approve all legitimate
efforts to prevent the United States from being
used as the dumping ground of the criminals
and professional paupers of Europe. and we
demand the rigid enforcement of the laws
against Chinese emigration and the importa-
tion of foreign workmen under contract to de-
grade our labor and lessen its wages. but we
condemn and denounce all attempts to restrict
the immigration of the industrous and worthy
of foreign lands.
Sec. 13. This convention hereb? renews the
expression of appreciation of the patriotism of
the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war
for its preservation, and we favor just and lib.
eral pensions for all disabled Union soldiers,
their widows and dependents, but we demand
that the work of the pension office shall be
done industriously, impartially and honestly.
We denounce the present administration of
that office as incompetent, corrupt. disgrace-
ful and dishonest.
See. It. The federal government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river and other
great waterways of the republic, so as to se-
cure for the interior states easy and cheap
transportation to the tidewater. When any
waterway of the republicis of sufficient im-
portance to demand the aid of the government,
that such aid should be extended on a definite
plan of continuous work until permanent im-
provement is secured.
Sec. 15. For purposes of- national defense and
the promotion of commerce between the states
we recognize the early construction of the
Nicaragua canal and its protection against for-
eign control as of great importance to the
United States.
See. 16. Recognizing the VVorld‘s Columbian
exposition as a national undertaking of vast
importance in which the general government
has invited the cooperation of the nations of
. the world, and appreciating the acceptance by
many such powers of the invitation so extend.
ed and the broad and liberal efforts being made
by' them to contribute to the grandeur of the
undertaking, we are of the opinion that con-
gress should make such necessary financial pro-
vision as shall be requisite to the maintenance
of national honor and public fai
Sec. 17. Popular education being the only safe
basis of popular suffrage, we recommend to the
several states most liberal appropriations for
the public schools. Free common schools are
the nursery of good government. and they
have always received the fostering care of the
Democratic party, which favors every means
of increasing intelligence. Freedom of educa-
tion being an essential of civil and religious
liberty, as well as a necessity for the develop-
ment of intelligence, must not be interfered
with under any pretext whatever. We are op-
posed to state interference with parental rights
and rights of conscience in the education of
children as an infringement of the fundament-
al Democratic doctrine that the largest indi-
vidual liberty consistent with the rights of oth-
ers insures the highest type of American citi-
zenship and the best government.
Sec. 18. We approve the action of the present
house of representatives in passing bills for
the admission into the Union as states of the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and
we favor the early admission of all the ter-
ritories having the necessary population and
resources to entitle them to statehood, and
while they remain territories we hold that the
officers appointed to administer the govern.
ment of any territory, together with the Dis-
trict of Columbia. and Alaska. shall be bona.
fide residents of the territory or district in
which their duties are to be performed.- The
Democratic party believes in home rule and
the control of their own affairs by the people
of the viciuage.
Sec. 19. W'c favor legislation by congress and
state legislature to protect the lives and limbs
of railway employees and those of other hazard-
ous transportation companies, and denounce
the inactivity of the Republican party, and
particularly the Republican senate. for caus-
ing the defeat of measures beneficial and pro-
tective to this class of wage workers.
Sec. 20. \Ve are in favor of the enactment by
the states of laws for abolishing the notorious
sweating system, for abolishing contract con-
vict labor and for prohibiting the employ ment
in factories of children under fifteen y ears of
age.
Sew-21. “'9 are opposed to all sumptuary
laws as an interference with the individual
rights of the citizen.
Sec. :22. Upon this statement of principles and
policy the Democratic party asks the intelli-
gent judgment of the American people. It asks
a. change of administration and a. change of
party in o1der that there may be a change of
system and a change of methods, thus assuring
the maintenance unimpail ed of institutions
under w hich the republic has grown great and
powerful .
