The police endeavored without effect to keep passageways. Nothings, however, affected the mob, for it wae known that hundreds passed through the doors wbo had no right to enter and that served to work the throng Into a frenzy. Long after the hull was filled the crowd pressed against the entrances, loath to give up the chance of getting. Frequently half a dozen people would be allowed to enter on a single ticket. No attempt was made In many instances to restrict the crowd in any way, and by the time the chairman called the convention to order the hall waa filled to overflowing. It Is doubtful If ever before In a large gathering in the United States were the rules governing admission to a large convention so utterly Ignored, The doors were practically thrown open to thei public. In the gallery there was not. an unoccupied inch of standing or sitting room. Tha passage ways under the building were completely choked by a pushing, struggling mass with which the sergeant-at-arm- s e and police were utterly to cope. Several thouaand people were packed underneath the main floor, vainly trying to gain admission to the Auditorium. The congestion hero was highly dangerous in Itself, hut still the crowd poured through the entrance and still no effort was made to keep them back. The reading clerk ordered the floor officials to clear the aisles. As Mr. Clark stood at the desk. Senator Daniel, chairman of the resolution comnjttee, made hie way to his side with a copy of the platform in hia hand. With delay it waa announced that the report of the committee would be received. At thle statement tha committee seized the opportunity to express Its satisfaction at the unanimous report A great cry went np. A great many delegates Jumped to their feet and the Poth oiators were applauded Anti-Park- er i dele-KSt- it. Nominating speeches for both Parker and Hearst occupied the convention for several hours. The convention hall seats abouflO,-S0- 0 persons and from appearances hunThe dreds more had been admitted. floor, lower and upper galleries conmen tained thousand of ewelterlng and women, ohllvloue of the fact that the crowded condition of the hall endangered every life. The Coliseum interior looked like a huge btiin with bottom and side formed by cloeely packed persona. Not as aisle could be seen. They were cured by spectators who could find so' other place. Outside and in the crowds were the same except tor the -- fact those la the. hall, were satisfied gad those outside were turbulent. Shortly after Mr. Littleton began big the convention in the hall the policemen guarding the Thirteenth street entrance had a thrilling experience with a concourse of people who attempted to force past the blue coaled cordon and get into the convention halL It waa necessary to club several leaders of the crowd, and after ten minutes hard work the crowd was forced back to the opposite side of the street. Senator Daniel read the report as chairman of the oommittea on resolutions. The confusion waa so great that not a word could be heard from the Speech In ua-abl- platform. The great oilman of the convention, : : the nomination tor a candidate for President followed Immediately upgn he adoption of the platform. Chairman Clark proceeded to that trdar of business without delay. Alabama waa called and yielded to New York. Mr. Littleton's speech immensely pleased his audience, and when he concluded great excitement prevailed. Banners were held aloft and all the Parker delegates carrytag the standards of Parker states through the convention, pushing, trampling and fighting all who obstructed their progress The scene waa one of tremendous confusion. Then was enacted a 'en that recalled an Incident of the Democratic convention In Chicago In which W. J. Bryan waa nominated eight yarg ago. Cheering continued, 0 minutes. Even then ten minutes elapsed before the chairman dared call the next State. Arkansas yielded to Tennessee and senator Carmack took the platform nd seconded the nomination of Judge artier.

When it it was observed that be bad ceased reading the convention broke Into cheering. Senator Daniel said: 1 am unanimously Instructed by your committee on platform to move the previous question on Its adoption and I now make that motion." Jt was adopted by a viva voce vote, two or three delegates voting In the negative, and they apparently in a spirit of fun. Chairman Clark then put the mo lion to adopt the report and a viva vote carried it. row ' tl'lllians Chairman Temporary mounted the steps tip to the platform, swung hia bar around his head, and the delegates following his itading, roared their applause again lea-lin- state. Gentlemen of the convention, beyond the exciting passions of wv and tha distracting panics of beyond the reach of disasters dread appeal, and the dead past's dying wail, we meet. la the clear and rational calm of seasoned common sense, to reason together for g the of our country and our party. No man here can have his ex aid. way. No leader can take us along the narrow ledge of hia unquestioned logic. No section should swerve us from the course that leads to union and fellowship. No faction can divide us into weakened parts and leave us on the field of battle in front, of the army. No man is greater than Us party, and no party la greater than its principle. There le no principle which does not rest upon a condition and there ie condition which may not change. There la no creed set down lu black and white to which we are forever strapiied, as to a cross. There ie no platform which can last forever unless It be made of abstract things incapable of demonstration. The world is moving In Its majestic course, and every detail of Its .toil works out some mighty change. Civilization is night and day workiug with lta countless hands, and its Influence runs ahead to where we cannot see or hear. A political party is an engine in the hands of the material and multiplied forces and If tt ceases to interpret event! with intelligence It will be deserted. The recent'past la filled with a record of our disagreements. Many of ns would change that past If It were within our power, moat of us would not but whether we would or not, the point is, It is past If we Intend to settle here the question as to who was right and who was wrong then we are foredoomed to failure. , , "For If he did not settle It then, how can we succeed now. If you tell me 1 waa wrong and we are wrong and If w thresh it out that la the end. But If you tell ma right or wrong, we meet again after a short, sharp separation at the democratic altar, and that we must claep hands In a natural alliance of democratic faith and find some common ground ujxm which we may stand with aeeh other, aey it does hot matter who waa wrong. The point la, we are of sensible together again. government Is founded on compromise. The Integrity of party exercise rests on rule of meeting each other half way. A platform is not a photograph of party faith It le a composite plan. It Is better to give up some untimely doctrine and occasionally succeed then to hold them all faithfully and always foil, for If we could become master of a few things we might become ruler over many. To plan success In disregard of principle le mere intrigue; to plan failure by bolding to an outlawed Issue Is mere folly. Winning le not wicked; strategy la not a sin. It Is far better for the country to relight the Urea of democratic hope by success coming from concession than It le to put out what le left by failure fastened to a formula. Gentlemen of the convention, we come together In the historic valley of the Mississippi, at the time when united enemies are making patriotic pilgrimage to a shrine erected to wisdom and foresight Surely, ns you gather here, with the present breaking upon your raptured vision and tbe pest filling and, your heart with eongs of praise comsurely as you contemplate the monwealth filled with happy homes that strength out In bewilderer sun to the southern seas, and recall with unaffected pride that your party gave thle kingdom of wealth and courage to the worlds advancing reach; surely, here, close to the quickened pulse of the great southwestern giant as he comes to strike hands across the years with the spirit of tbe old dominion; here swept by the thrilling and ennobling memory of long ago, and Inspired by n speciacle which makes these memories dearer and nobler still, surely you are urged by every Impulse and entreated by every recollection to forever sink tbe differences that distract and the causes that confuse, and. gathering afresh from this exhaustless headwater of our hope the spirit of fifty years of asQmdlng party faith, resolve to restore our party to its place of power and pride in the hearts and affections of our countrymen. The stale of New York, hearkening io the demand from every quarter of the country, comes to you united upon one who will bring into our council, patriotism and power Into our campaign and success to our contest. 1 say New York ie united, nnd in saying so.

They remind ue of our duties and responsibilities aa citizens and Impress uton us, particularly at this time, the necessity of reform. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. First The application of them fundamental prlmiplea to tbe living luaue of tne day la the first step toward the assured peace, safety and progress of our nation. Freedom of the press, conscience and of speech-equalitThe law df all citizens; right of trial by Jury, freedom of person defen Jed by tbe writ of habeas corpus, liberty of personal contract untrammelled by sumptuary laws; supremacy of .tbe civil over the military, authority; a well disciplined militia; Economy In expenditures; low taxes, that, labor may be lightly burdened; prompt ana sacred fulfillment of public and private obligations; peace and friendahlp with all nations; entangling alliances with none; absolute acquiescent' In tha will of the majority, tha vital principle of republics these are doctrines which Itemncracy has established as proverbs of tbe nation add they should be constantly enforced. CAPITAL AND LABOR. We favor enactment of laws giving labor and capital Impartially their lust rights. Capital and labor ought not to be enemies. Each is necessary to the other. Each haa lta rights, but the rights of labor are certainly no less vested," no less sacred and no 1cm of "unalienable" then the rights capital. CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTY. Constitutional guarantees are viol sled whenever any citizen Is denied (he right to latior, acquire and enjoy property or reside where Interest or inclination may determine. Any denial thereby by indlvlduala or organizations of government should bo timmarily rebuked and punished. We deny the right of any executive to disregard or suspend any constitutional privilege or limitation. Obedience to the laws and respect for their requirements are alike (he supreme duty of the citizen and the official. The military should Le used only to supiiort and maintain (he law. We unqualifiedly condemn its employment for the summary banishment of rltl-xewithout tried, or for the control 01 elections. We approve the measure which passed the United States Senate Ini 1886, but which a Republican Congress has ever since refused to enact, relating to contempts In federal courts, end for trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt. WATER WAYS. We favor liberal appropriations for the rare and Improvement of. tbe waterways of the country. When any water way like the Yllesiiwippl river Is of sufficient importance to demand special aid of the government, sm-aid should Ire extendeJ with a definite plan of continuous work until permanent Improvement is secured. We oppose the Republican policy of starving home development in order to feed the greed for conquest and the apjM'tlte for national prestige" and display of strength. ECONOMY OF ADMINISTRATION. First Large reductions ran easily be made In the annual expenditures of the government without Impairing tbe efficiency of any branch of the public service, and we shall Insist niton the strictest economy and frugality compatible with vigorous and effective rivil, military and naval administration for the people. Second We favor honesty in the public eenrlce. The enforcement of honesty in the public service and to that enJ a thorough legislative Investigation of those departments of the government already suspected of harboring corruption and punishment of ascertained corruptionist without fear cr favor or regard to persona. The persistent aud deliberate refusal of both the Senate and House of Representatives to permit such eifggeation 10 be made demonstrate that only by a change in the executive end In the legislative department can complete punishment and conviction ha obtained y. ns pro-tidi- Federal government contract trust. with We condemn tha actlou of tbe an party in Congrcsa refusing to prohibit tbe executive departments from entering iulo contracts with convicted trusts or unlawful combination In restraint of Interstate trade. We have one of the beet iuetbo(li of procuring honesty lu tbe public service, aud that Is to lave public officials, from the occupant of the.Wbka House down to the lowest of them, return as nearly as may Ire, to Jcfferaonlan simplicity of living. EXECUTIVE USURPATION. We favor the nomination and election of a President (mimed with Ihe principles of the constitution wbo will set hia foca sternly against executive usurpation erf legislative and Judicial enunciations, whether that usurpation be veiled under the gules of atecutlve construction of existing law, or Whether it takes refuge In the tyrants plans of necessity or superior wisdom. IMPERIALISM. We favor the preservation so for aa we can of nn oia-door htr the worlds rouunerce In tbe Orient without an unnecessary entanglement In Oriental and European affairs, and without arbitrary, unlimited, Irresponsible and obaoliile government anywhere within our. Jurisdiction. Wa oppose fervently as did George Washington himself, an Indeflnltee, Irresponsible, discretionary and vague altaolutism and. A policy of colonial exploitation, no matter where or by whom exercised; we believe with Thomas Jefferson and John Adama, that no government baa a right to at make one set. of lawa for those home" and another and a dlriorent ael of laws, absolute In their character fni those In the colnnlca."

Tbe endeavor of the secretary of war, by pledging tbe governmentll endorseIn the Philipment for "promoter pine Islands to make the United States a partner in speculative legislation of the arrhlpeleago, which was only temporarily held up by the opposition of the Democratic Senators in the last sedition, will, if successful, li ed to entanglements front which it will be difficult to escape. Tbe Democratic party bas been, and will continue to lie the consistent opponent of that class of tariff leisat-tio- ti by which certain interests have been permitted, through Congressional favor, to draw a heavy tribute from me American people. This monstrous perversion of those equal opportunities which our political institutions were established to secure, has caused what may once have bcn infant industries to liecotne the greatest combinationi; of capital that ihe world has ever known. These special favorites of the government have through trust methods, been converted Into monopolies, thus bringing to an end domestic competition which was the only check niion the extravagant profits made possible Ly the protective system. These industrial combinations, by the financial assistance they can give now control the policy of the Republican liarty. We denounce protection a roblietv of the many to eurb-l- i the few. aud v favor a tariff limited to the of the government ei onomlcall: administered and so levied a not. ti discriminate against, any indusiry class or section, to the end that tiu burden of taxation shall be distrlbut' cd a equally as possible.
