delegates assembled promptly at the slated time it was called to or der at 12:20 by augustus schell in calling the convention to order he sub mitted a few brief remarks upon the pur poses of this convention : to nominate candidates whose election sliall change the government and overthrow corruption and produce an administration of reform demanded by the people applause he said the corruption now existing in the government most be buried this duty must be confided lo the hands not of those who now hold the government but to the democratic party the thing to be reformed can't bu reformed by it self the people are intelligent and sagacious they understand their rights and will not again trust their interests to the republican party he referred to the democratic party as the hard money party from the beginning he said it was a trick to try to saddle on it the ex isting policy inconsistent with hard money principles all the acts authorizing pa per money as legal tender and the opinion of the supreme court sustaining it all were done during republican administra tion he then referred briefly to the civil results the remedy is not rapid contraction or increased currency but the one remedy at this time is repeal of the resumption act do that and give the democratic parly the reins of government and their policy of the one money and sound finance will bring specie payment speedily applause this centennial of the national independence we have met to adopt means to restore the country to prosperity may wc not hope after sixteen years of republicanism that the democratic

together to determine by our wisdom whether honest government ad ministered by honest men sliall be re stored to tho american people or to de cide i13 our folly that it is the destiny of this country to pursue an endless and ever revolving circle of partisan passion and corrupt ion until with the loss of im material well being we lose the poor man's last hope — civil liberty itself — every citizen ofthe republic be he of one parly or the other feelp and has felt for many a day the depressing influence of what are called hard times we look about ns and wo see neglected fields and vacant houses the factories closed and furnace doors shut there are myriads of idle hands the happy activity of prosperous life is nowhere to be found loyalists fatten while honest men starve empty is the mart and shipless the bay what is it that has wrought sn great a change in a land that under the rule of an intelligent progressive constitutional party advanced within half a century from the condition of a huddle of petty and squalid provincial sovereignties to a foremost place among the nations of the earth the reason of men must answer partisan misrule and sectional misdirec tion the republicans my friends are not alone responsible ; with them rest the disgraces with us the follies these twin agents of national mischance work ing under the miserable rule of contraries have kept tbe people of the north and south aside and have supplied sustenance to corruption tbey have disturbed values they have unsettled prices they have made our whole financial system a cheat and snare ; they have driven the best element of political society into exile and haye organized charlatanism into a sort of a public polity enabling the rogue to get a cheap advantage of his dupe and sacrificing every popular interest to the lust of that oligarchy which has become so entrusted withjpow er as to believe itself entitled to rule by the shere force of its own wrong so mnch let us set down lo the con venient pretext of war so much to the long accouut of damages between the north and south it is for you to say whether the same conflict with the consequences multiplied and magnified shall by any acts of yours be inaugurated between tbe east and west i shall not undertake on a occasion of this kind and in a presence so imposing to enforce the familiar lesson of mutual forbearance nobody doubts our capac it to make battle among ourselves — entreating you to duect yonr energies to the common enemy i ask indulgence only on my behalf you have called au to a place not merely of distinction but of difficulty to a place wliich requires the best training of a belter man tbat i am in taking it i trust to your confi dence and good nature and heart incapa ble of an unmanly or unfair act the woik before us should relate to ideas rather than to individuals it is the issue not ibe man that should engage us we have come here to make the people's not our fight for free no less than honest gov ernment for the reform of the public ser vice and the regeneration of public mor i als for the administration of relief from j the administration af nihilism embraced j in the simple creed of home rule to re i duct taxes and give a living chance for the south as well as the north for both the east and west if anything comes of our proceeding it must spring from the spirit of association and fellowship — when warned the followers of andrew jackson and silas wright of henry clay and daniel webster meet together on common ground at last to wrest the gov ernment of their affairs from the

democratic party of the united states in the national convention assembled do here de clare the administration ofthe federal govern ment to be in urgent need of immediate reform do hereby enjoin upon the nominees of this convtntion and of the democratic party in each state a zealous effort and co-operation to this end and do hereby appeal to our fellow citizens of every form and political connection to undertake with us this first and most press ing and patriotic duty for the democracy of the whole country we do here reaffirm our faith in the permanency ofthe federal union ; our devotion to the constitution of the united states with its amendments universally ac cepted as a final settlement of the controver sies that engendered the civil war and do here record our steadfast confidence in the per petuity of republican self-government in ab solute acquiesence in tbe will of the majority the vital principle of the republic in the su premacy of the civil over tbe military authori ty ; in the total separation of church and state for tbe sake alike of civil and religious freedom in the equality of all citizens before just law of their own enactment in the liberty of individual conduct unvexed by sumptuary laws in the faithful education of the rising generation that they may preserve enjoy and transmit these glourious conditions of human happiness and hope we uphold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful his tory but while upholding the bond of our un ion and the great charter of these our rights it behooves a free people to preserve also eter nal vigilance which i.s the price of liberty re form is necessary to rebuild and establish in the hearts of the people the union eleven years ago happily rescued from the danger of corrupt centralism which after inflicting upon ten slates the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies has honey-combed the offices of the federal government itself with incapacity waste and fraud ; infected states and municipalities with the contagion of misrule and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the par alywis of hard times reform is necessary to establish a sound currency restore the public credit and maintain the national honor we denounce the failure for all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes wliich are a changing standard of value in the hands of people and the non-payment of which is a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation we denounce the improvidence which in a eleven years of peace has taken from the people in federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the legal tender notes and squandered four times this sum in useless expenses without accumulating any re serve for their redemption we denounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party which during eleven years of peace has made no advance toward resumption that instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus funds and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments hasannaul ly enacted fresh hindrances thereto as such a hindrance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875 and we here demand its re peal we demand a judicious mode of pre paration by public economies by official re trenchments and by wise finance which shall enable the nation to assure the whole world of iu perfect ability and readiness to meet any of its promises at the call ofthe creditor entitled to payment we believe a system well devis ed and above all entrusted to competent bands for execution creating an artificial scarcity of currency and no time alarming the public into a withdrawal of that vaster machinery of credit by whicli ninety-five percent of all business trans action6are performed a system public and inspir ing general confidence would from the day of its adoption bring healing on its wings to all after harrassed industry and set in motion the wheels of commerce manufactures and the machanical arts restore employment to labor and renew in all its national source the prosperity of the people reform is necessary in the sum and mode of federal taxation to the end that capi tal may be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened we denounce the present tariff levied upon imported articles as a master piece of injustice iniquity and false pretence it yields a dwindling not a yearly rising reve nue it haa impoverished many industries to subsidize a few prohibits imports that might purchase the products of american labor ; it has degraded commerce from the first to an in ferior rank upon the high seas it ha3 cut down the sale ofthe american manufactures at home and abroad and depleted the returns of american agriculture and industry followed by half of our people ; its costs the people 5 times mors than it produces to the treasury ; it ob structs the means of production and wastes the fruit of labor it promotes fraud and fosters swindling enriches dishonest officials and bank rupts honest merchants we demand that all custom houses taxation shall be only for rev enue reform is now in the scale of public ex penses federal stale and municipal our federal taxation has swollen from 6u millions in gold in 1860 to 450 millions currency in 1870 our aggregate taxation from 184 mil lions in gold in 1860 to 730 millions currency in 1870 or in one decade from less than five dollars per head to more than 18 per head since peace was proclaimed the people have paid to their tax gatherers more lhan thrice the sum of the national debt and more than twice that sum lor the federal government alone we demand frugality in every depart ment and from every officer of the government reform is necessary to put a stop to the profli gate waste of public lands ; and their diversion from actual settlers by the party in power which has squandered two hundred millions of acres upon railroads alone and out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth directly to tillers of the soils reform is necessary to correct the misrepresen tation ofa republican congress and the errors of our treaties of war diplomacy which have kept our fellow-citizens of foreign birth and kindred and race re-cossing the atlantic from the shield of americanship and have exposed our brethren ofthe pacific coast to the incur sion of a race not sprung from the same cur rent stock and in fact now by law deemed citi zens through naturalization as being neither accustomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization for exercise of liberty under equal laws we denounce the policy which discards the liberty loving german and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade in mongolian wo men exported for immoral purposes and _ lon golian men hired to perform servile labor con tracts and demand such modification of the treaty with the chinese empire or legislation by congress within a constitutional limitation as shall prevent the further importation or im aiigralion of the mongolian race reform i.s necessary and can neyer be affect ed but by setting the controlling issue of the elections lifting it above the two false issues which the office-holding class and the party in power seek together with the false issue with whicb they enkindle sectarian strife in respect to the public schools of which the establish ment to support belonging exclusively to the several states and which the democratic party has cherished from their foundation and resolv ed to maintain without partiality or preference for any class sect or creed and without con tributing from the treasury to array the false issue by which they seek to light anew the dy ing embers of sectional hate between kindred peoples once unnaturally estranged but now reunited in one indivisible republic and a com mon destiny reform is necessary in the civil service experience proves that economical conduct of the government business i.s not pos sible if its civil service be subject to change ; at every election be a prize fought for at the ballot box be a brief reward of party service instead of posts of honor assigned for approved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ ; that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time of all our pub lic men nor the instrument of their ambition we attest that the party in power can work out no practical or salutary reform reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service president vice-president judges senators representatives cabinet officers these and all others in authority are the people's servants their offices are not a private perquisit they are a public trust when the annals of this republic show the dis graceful censure of a vice-president a late speaker of the house of representatives mark eting his rulings as a presiding officer ; three senators profiting secretly by their votes as a law maker five chairmen of the leading com mittees of the late house of representatives exposed in jobbery ; a late secretary of the treasury forging balances in the public account a late attorney-general misappropriating funds a secretary of navy enriched or enriching friends by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his department ; an ambassa dor to england censured in a dishonorable speculation ; the president's private secretary barely escaping conviction for complicity in frauds upon the revenue ; a secretary of war impeached for high crimes and confessed mis demeanors the demonstration is complete — that the first step in refoiin must be the peo ple's choice of honest men from another party lest the disease of one political organization in fest the body politic thereby making no change of men or party we can get no change of measures and no reform all these wrongs and crimes the conduct of sixteen years ascendancy of the republican party create a necessity for reform confessed by republicans themselves but their reformers are voted down in the convention and displaced from the cabinet the party's mass of honest voters is powerless to resist the st 1,000 office holders its leaders and guides reform can only be had by a peaceful civic revolution we demand a change of system a change of administration a change of parties ; that we may have a change of members and uf men the reading was frequently interrupted by applause the denunciation of the re sumption act and demand for its repeal was received with especial favor at the conclusion dorsheimcr said tbe committee had adopted and endorsed though not ns a part of the platform another resolution which he read endorsing the action of the house on cutting down appropriations he exhorted them to firmness also a reso
