Mr. Hawiey from tlie committee on resolutions reported the platform, which wiil be fouud eliewliwrc in this paper.l Pierce of Mas-aehutiett.-', moved to t-trike out the reference to Mongolian immigration, which he denounced as a departure from every republican platform and the principles of the declaration of independence and tlie law of christian love, which make all men, Jew or Gentilw, equal. Axlell ol Xew Mexico, opposed the amendment. The people ot the Pacific states, irrespective of party, all desire an investigation of tlie Mongolian immigration, which he believed not to be in good faith, but use 1 simplj as a cover lor the importation impor-tation of Bervile coobu laborers, by their pagan customs and hy their hbits to degrado American labor. Jones of Nevada, followed. This question is of great importance to the people of tlie Pacitio coast. He described the degrading character of this. Mongolian immigration of people who recognize neither hone.-ity among men nor virtue among women. They contribute nothing to our churches or school;-. They can live and wili live tfor ten cents per day in competition with American laborers who support families, schools, churches and other institutions. There is I ut one opinion in the Pacific slates as to the necessity neces-sity for investigation by congress to inlorm itsell as to the real facta iu the case, in order that it may see if something some-thing is not necessary to be done to remedy the evils of which they complain. com-plain. Dutch of New York, urged careful consideration ol the resolution to see if our free people do not need pro- leciMii against coolie labor. Curtis of New York, urged that in the beginning of a new century the republicans of America should not depart from the principles of the declaration of independence. As his remarks inferred tuat anti-Mongolian legislation would involve this departure, lie was received with great applause. liel lord of Colorado earnestly sustained sus-tained the resolution reported and pointed out the utter failure of Chinese Chi-nese immigration to assimulate to our owu people in any way. Tennessee demanded the previous question, which was sustained and , the question was taken by states ou Pierce's motion to strike out, and it resulted yeas, 21o; nays, 532; so the motion to strike out was rejected. The resolution was then adopted. The question next stated was on tho financial resolution. Davis of Texas, from the minority of tho committee on resolutions, reported as a substitute substi-tute a resolution declaring distinctly that there shall be no further postponement post-ponement of specie resumption beyond be-yond the time already fixed by law lor such resumption. He thought the resolution of the committee too indefinite. Hawley replied that ho thought in declaring the principles to govern a great party during four years it woe better tr. confine ourselves to declarations of fundamental principles, princi-ples, without tying ua down to a special cate, but leaving the latter to be adjusted in accordance with events. When he said resumption at the c-arliast practicable moment he meant it. Ttie substitute was voted down". Tin- resolution reported was adopted ard tin? wholt' platform was also adopted. Tlie chair aanouii.ni that the next ino-iii-'-r-s was the nomination of ctu-di ctu-di 'ati h. (Great applause.) .Motions to adjourn were made and voeitoroufly objected to. Tiie question ques-tion was put to adjourn until 10 tomorrow to-morrow and lost. Kellogg ol" Connecticut, instructed by his delegation, presented the name of Marshall Jewell for president, nnd briefly slated his record, Thompson of Indiana Baid he was instructed by the entire republican party of Indiana to put beloro the convention tho name- of Oliver P. Morton as a puitablo nominee for tlie presidency of the United States. Ho knew him to be a worthy representative representa-tive of the principles on wiiich the republic had ever and must alwayn stand. He referred to him as a great war governor, because ho won it iu the lipid and his duty was well discharged. dis-charged. Ho was equal to every crisis during the darkest hour of the rebellion, and equal to every crisis ainco. In the Bcnuto he stands the peer of tho beat. ilo continued to eulogize Morton at some length, and urged that Indiana had never had a president. Nominate; Morton and tbero shall go up a great shout of victory vic-tory in November. Ho denied that Morion is physically unlit fur the position of president. True he hag been nfllicted in his leg-t, but it don't need legs to mako a president. IJis head and heart are sound; hi-j ability and patriotism aro unquestioned. unques-tioned. If the rights of all people re-gardlceH re-gardlceH of coior are to be sustained and the union preserved, no man is belter calculated to do that, Pmchbaek of Louisiana second ud Morton' nomination in the name of the truly loyil people of his state. His election would strike terror to tho monsters iu the south who are driving away capital, persecuting her loyal people and murdering them, anil would be a complete, final settlement settle-ment of all tho great questions arising aris-ing out of the war. General Harlan of Kentucky came forward amid tho greatest applause exhibited in the convention, to nomi- 1 nale Benjamin H. Uristow in obedience obedi-ence to tho instructions of the entire i republican party of his state. The announcement ol this name was the signal for another tremendous round ol applause. From the earliest days uf ins manhood he had baen true to the great principles dear to the heart of every republican. Ho was reared in tho school which taught him lh-it the United States did not constitute a le-igucbut a nation. Instantly when the rebellion broke out he announced his determination to stand by the Union, come what might. He followed fol-lowed these words by entering the military servic, and subsequently supporting the cause with equal zeal in tlie legislature. Harlan proceeded at some length, aud forcibly to state Bristow'a public record, being frequently fre-quently interrupted by chcerd. Judge Poland of Vermont seconded Bristow'd nomination. He said a larger proportion of tne people of hia state belonged to the republican parly than is the case in almost any other stale. Vermont had not a candidate of its own, but has a deep interest in the work of this convention. conven-tion. The crisis is an important one. The boast of the democracy is that ; they go into this canvass with a .united south in their favor. Tnis is I probably true. So it needs only coni- uaraiivciy smau iragments oi me northern nor-thern vote to remit tho destinies of the country again into the hands of those who sought to break up the Union. Vermont and Kentucky came into the Union together, and ho hoped they would stand together now for victory with Bristow. Curtis of New York took the platform plat-form amid loud and long applause. Heeuid: Ou behalf that vast body of republicans of New York who have seen that reform is possible pos-sible within the republican party because they have seen tho heavy arm of tho government drawn up6n the the thieves, he rose to second the ; nomination ol Bristow. He pointed . out the great occasion for re i form oiVered to Bristow as the one man who more than any other could at this time embody the sentiment of the country in behalf be-half of such reform and the condition f the continued ascendency of the party in that it shall discharge its duties to the people. He proceeded to eulogize Bristow and recited his services from the beginning of the rebellion to the present time. In conclusion he said: If this is not to be the hist successful convention of the rapublieau party, it must go into the canvass with these cries: First, Absolute protection oi all the rights of citizenship everywhere. Second. The hardest kind of hard money nnd the earliest return to it. Third, No lings, no cliques, no combination of personal interests, but the interest ol all the people; no personal government, govern-ment, nothing but tne will ol the pleople clearly expressed. Richard H. Dana of Massachusetts also seconded Bristow'a nomination. Ho knew no other name that was sure to carry Massachusetts next November. Mark what I said, not that no other name can carry Massachusetts, Massa-chusetts, but that I know no other that was sure to do it. When Maine was called upon, -a scene ot tno wildest eninusiasni ensued, en-sued, the delegates and spectators rising to their feet, waving their handkerchiefs, hata, fans, cheering long and loudly, the cheering dying away only to be renewed, and closing with three cheers for Blaine. Ingeraoll of Illinois took the platform, plat-form, and he, too, was satisfied with the loyally of Bristow, but if Massachusetts Massa-chusetts cannot carry any nominee of this convention he was not satisfied with the loyalty ot Massachusetts. If she cannot carry by 7o,00G they ought to sell out Faneuil hall for a democratic hall. (Applause. A voice And move the monument from Bunker Hill.) He urged that the party demand now for president a relormer after as well as before the election; a man of a political and a statesman's experience; a man of integrity, in-tegrity, one who knows enough to kuow that the national debt must be paid through the prosperity of the American people; that money must be m&de not by law but by labor. Nothing could be more effective aud impressive than the speaker's statements state-ments of the requirements of the people and the republican party growing out of the necessities of Ihe hour. Each sentence was forcibly 1 epigramatic and elicited its round of applause, and especially so when he said that the party demands ft candidate of epotless purity, but does not demand that he ehalf present a certificate ol character from a confederate congress. His announcement ol the name of James G. Blaine was the signal for another scene cf tremendous excitement. The party wants a leader with the au-! au-! dacity of genius, the grandest combi-j combi-j nation of heart and conscience, and this man, known to the American people, is James G. Blaine. To de-tert de-tert him now would be like an array diverting its general. In the narat of the great republic, her great defenders de-fenders and supporters, her soldier: I living or in the skeleton clutch of An' dersonvillo and Libby, Illinois nomi' nates that prince of parliamentarians, (hat leader of leadens James (. Blaine. Turner of Georgia related his journey jour-ney through tho country, wliero he found Blaine's name laiisuianic. Ho revered tho name of Morion, the de-lender de-lender of the outraged people of Louisiana, but believed that the name of Blaino would nrouso the people of ( this great country as that of Morton , will not. Ue had a :;reat re-pect for Urislow, d.r tho great party of New j York which ncconded him here; had also respect for the tlietinguishcd j jHiitleman fu.m Mas-iachusetU, our I I i'n minister to England, llecuio-j iz'-d Blaine's record in eloquent, impassioned lenns, but elicited strong tokens ol dissent and dH;neas ire win n ho uttered a nU not- to tlx-olleet tlx-olleet that the repub'ican party w.. bleeding ami de.ad of a di;mo.'T.itie victory before Blaine in the ha!h ol congress came to rtseue it, and Kryc of Maine followed in suppurt ol the nomination of Maine's idol eon. Whoever Who-ever is nominated by this convention he will carry Maine by 20,000 majority. ma-jority. Frye was eloquent and lor-cible lor-cible in describing the great cause involved in-volved in the pending contest, and declaring its invincibility for its own sake under any chosen leader. When New York was cabol, Woi-dford advanced ad-vanced to tiie platform, and in obedience obedi-ence to injunctions of the New Y'ork state convention, presented the hon-oreJ hon-oreJ name of Koscoe Conklmg. Broad in culture, eloquent in debate, wiso in council, fearless in leader ship, true to the old republican party, be needs neither defence nor eulogy. He is a positive quantity in the body politic. He characterized him as a true friend of Ulysses S. Grant. Let us nominate a president with our heads and not our hearts. Tiie speaker discussed the political silua-tion silua-tion for the purpose of showing the ' policy for nominating Conkling, to be the best means of securing a national na-tional republican triumph. He urged laying aside all "personal preferences, prefer-ences, all state pride in remembrance of what democratic restoration means. Governor Noyes, on behalf of Ohio, d resen led the name of Governor D. Hayes, ono who ia well known and greatly beloved by Ohio. Ho had defeated successively Thurman, Pendleton Pen-dleton and William Allen. He has got in the habit of beating democrat and from force of habit will do it once again, if nominated. He is a brave, honest, unpretending, wise, sagacious scholar and gentleman. He is the candidate that can carry Ohio, Indiana, Indi-ana, Illinois and New York, as well as all tho rest, because in him you will have a candidate on whom all differences can unite, and because hi nomination is the safest and best for the insurance of success. |
