THE DEMOCRACY.

F CUvelmd AhAS on Ilia First 6allol-Chinees
That Caytr . Will Da Hit Slrongol Oppoil-

I IIIK n.ATIOUM.
' The Hemocrntlo party or the Union
j through Its representatives In National
convention assembled recognizes that
as the nation grows older new issues are
! born of time and progress and old Issues
I perish; but the fundamental principles
of tho Democracy approved by tho
. united voice of the people remain and
will evcrremnln as the best anil only se-
curity Tor the continuance or free gov-
I eminent the preservation of personal
I rights the equality of all citizens before
I the law the reserved rights ofthe Slates
j and the supremacy of the Federal Gov-
I eminent within the limits of the const I-
t n t Ion ; will ever form the true basts of
I our liberties and can never bo surrend-
I ered without destroying that balance of
! rights and powers which enables n con
tinent to be developed In peace and so-
cial order and to be maintained by
means ot local self-government. Hut It's
Indispensable for the practical applica-
tion and enforcement of these funda-
mental principles that the Government
should not always be controlled by one
political party. Frequent change of ad-
ministration Is as necessary ns constant
recurrence to the popular will other-
wise abuses grow and the Government
instead or being carried on lor the gen-
eral welfare becomes an instrumentality
for Imposing heavy burdens on the many
who are governed for the benelltofthe
few who govern. Publlo servants thus
become arbitrary rulers. This Is now
the condition of the country hence a
change Is demanded. (Here follows a
long arraignment of the Republican
part).
The Democratic party pledges Itself
to purify the administration ofcorrup-
tlon; torcstore economy; to enforca re-
spect for law and to reduce taxation lo
tho lowest limit consistent with a due
regard to the preservation ot the faith
of the nation to creditors and pensioners.
Knowing full well however that legis-
lation nQ'ectlng the occupations of the
people should be cautious In method
not In advance of publlo opinion but re-
sponsive to Its (lcmandstlie Democratlo
party Is pledged to revise the tarlll in a
spirit of fairness to all Interested. Hut
In making a reduction of taxes It Is not
proposed to Injure any domestlo Indus-
tries but rather proinoto their healthy
growth. From the foundation of this
government taxes collected at the cus-
tom houses have been the chlet source
of revenue and they mus t continue lo
be. Moreover many industries have
come to rely npon legislation for suc-
cessful continuance so that any change
of law must bo nt every step regardful
of labor and cnpltol thus Involved. The
process of reform must be subject in the
execution to the plain dictates of Jus-
tice that all taxation shall be limited
to the requirements of economical gov-
ernment. The necessary reduction can
and must be eflected without depriving
American labor of the ability to compete
successfully with foreign labor and with-
out Imposing lower rates of duty than
will be ample to cover any Increased
cost of production whloli niny exist In
conseqtienco or the hlgherrates of wages
prevailing in this country.
Sufllclent revenuo to pay all the ex-
penses of the Federal government econo-
mically administered Including pen-
sions the Interest nnd principal of the
publio debt can be got undtr our
present system of taxation from custom
house taxes on a few Imported artloles
being heaviest on articles of luxury and
becoming lighter on artloles of necessity.
We therefore denounce the abuses of
the existing tarlQ' and subject to pre-

In renllfrmlng the declaration of the
Democratlo platform or 1858 that the
' l'11?1 Jir'no'M "ibl!l by JeHcrson
In the declaration or Independence and
the sanction In the constitution whtou
' makes ours the land of liberty and the
' asylum ofthe oppressed of everyntitlon
have ever been cardinal principles in
the Democratic faith. We nevertheless
do not sanction tho Importation of ror-
. eign rauor or I no aauilsslon or several
races untitled by habits training re-
ligion or kindred for absorption Into the
great body of the people or for the cltK
zenshlp which our laws confer. Ameri-
can civilization demand that against the
emigration or Importation or the Mongo-
lian to thee shoreu our gates shall be
closed. The Democratic party Insists i
that It Is the duty of this government to
protect nlth equal lldelllyand vigilance
the rights or its citizens native and
naturalized at home and abroad
tlon may be assured United i
States papers or naturalization Issued
by courts or competent Jurisdiction
should be respected by the Kxecutlve
department or our government and by
all foreign powers. It Is an imperative i
duty or this government to ellectttally
protect the rights person and property I
t every American citizen In foreign
lands and enforce full reparation Tor any
violation inereoi. An American citizen
Is only responsible to his own govern-
ment for any act done In Ids own country
or under her flag and can only be tried
Tor It on her soil and according to her
laws and no power exists In tills gov-
ernment to expatiate an American citi-
zen to bo tried in a foreign land for any
such act. This country bus never had n
well-dellned and executed foreign polloy.
Under the Democratlo administration
that policy has ever been In regard to
oreign nations siainng as tney no not
act detrimentally to the Interests or this
country or htirtrul to ltsolll7cn to let
them alone. Astho result of this policy
country or hurl
Its ollhena. to let
were the acquisitions of Louisiana Flor-
can territory by purchase alone. Con-
trast these grand acquisitions or Demo-
cratlo statesmanship with the purchase
or Alaska the sole fruit of a Republican
administration of nearly a quarter of a
century.
't he Federal government should euro
for and Improve the Mississippi river and
other great waterways of the republic
so as to secure for the Interior States
cheap transportation to tldo water.
Under it long period of Democratic
rule and policy our merchant marine
was fust overtaking and on the point of
outstripping that or Great Itritaiu. Un-
der tneniy ears or Republican rule
and policy our commerce has been left
to Ilrltlch bottoms nnd almost has the
American ling been swept oil' the high
sens. Instead or the Republican party's
llrltlsh policy we demand for the peo-
ple of the United States an American
polloy. Under Democratic rule and
policy our merchants and sailors were
Hying the stars and stripes In every port
and successfully searched out a market
fur the varied products of American In-
dustry. Under a quarter of a century
of Republican rule and policy and de-
spite our manifest advantage over all
other nations In high paid labor favor-
able climate and teeming soils despite
trade among nil these despite their pop-
ulation by the foremost races of men
the annual Immigration of the young
and adventurous of nil nations dcplte
our freedom here from the Inherited
burdens of life In the worlds of mon-
archy their costly war navies their vast
tax-consuming non-producing standing
armies despite twenty years of peace'
tho Republican rule and policy have
managed to surrender to Great llrltaln
along with our commerce the control of
the markets of the world. Instead of
the Republican party's discreditable
scheme nnd false pretense or friendship
for American labor expressed by im-
posing taxes we demand on behalf of
the Democracy freedom for American
labor by reducing taxes to the end that
the United States may compete with
unhindered powers for the prlnincy
among nations In all the arts of peace
ami fruits of liberty.
We believe In a free ballot and a fair
count and we recall to the memory of
the people the noble struggle of the
Democrats In the Fdrly-uTth and Forty-
sixth Congresses by which a reluctant
Republican opposition wns compelled
to assent to legislation making every-
where Illegal the presence of troops nt
the polls as the conclusive proof that a
Democratlo Legislature desired order.
Tho selection of Federal olllcers for
the Territories should be restricted to
citizens permanently resident therein.
dividual llbertv
We favor honestlvll service reform
and the compensation of United States
olllcers by ilxed salaries; the separation
of church nnd State and thedllluslon or
free education by common schools so
that every child In the land may be
taught the right and duttes of oltizen-
ship. While we favor all legislation which
will tend to the equal distribution of
property to the prevention of monop-
oly and to the strict enforcement of In-
dividual rights against corporate abuses
wo hold that the welfare or society de-
pends upon a scrupulous regard for the
rights of property as dellned by Inw and
believe that labor Is best rewarded
where It is free and most enlightened.
It should therefore be fostered nnd
cherished.
We favor tho repeal of all laws re-
stricting the free action of labor and the
enactment of a law by which labor or-
ganizations may be Incorporated and or
all such legislation as will tend to en-
lighten the people as to the free rela-
tions of capital and labor.
We believe that the publlo lands
ought so far as possible to be kept ns
homesteads for actual settlers; that all
unearned lands heretoforo Imprudently
granted to railroad corporations by the
actions of tho Republican party should
be restored to the publlo domain and
that no more grants of lands should be
made to corporations or shall be allowed
to fall In tho ownership of alien absen-
tees. We are opposed to all propositions
which upon any pretext will convert
the general government Into u machine
for collecting taxes to be distributed
among the States or the citizens thereof
tub riiwr IUUA)T.
The convention then proceeded at
12:0.i to take the tlrst ballot with the fol-
lowing result:
After the lnet Territory was called
Massachusetts corrected her vote as fol-
lows: For lluyard 21; Cleveland B:
Thtinnan 2. West Virginia also changed
her vote us follows; Randall 1; Jlayard.
2: Cleveland 7; Thurman 2. Ohio
chnnged her vote to Cleveland 21; Hoad-
ley 2; Thurman 1. The result of the
vote was at 12:40 a. in. announced as
follows: Whole number of votes cast
820; necessary to a choice 517; Cleveland-
rcQelved U92; lluyard. 170; Randall 78;
Thurman 8rt: McDonald M; Carlisle 27;
Hoadley 8. Flower 4; Tllden 1; Hen-
dricks It was manifest from tho applause
with which the name ot Senator llayard
was received this morning that at last
the opposition to Cleveland has found a
strong leader -who is skilfully organiz-
ing to stem the tldethathas been sweep-
ing New York on towards the goal of
success. Heretofore the opposing dele-
gates have been striking wildly and
harmlessly. The threats or Grady and
Cochrane only seemed to servo to In-
crease the strength orCloveland. When
Massachusetts appeared on the platform
In the person or Mr Cuuimlngs to sec-
ond the nomination or Mr llayard It
was evident that Benjamin F. llutler
was ths leader or the organization and
that he expecja the South to present a
solid front In llayard'a support under
the Influence of Senators Hampton
Vance Lamar and others of the States
of that section. The delay in perfecting
a platform is felt to bo a part of tho
scheme as It gives time for organiza-
tion. The Massachusetts delegates held n
secret caucus last night. The members
are retlieet but admit that llutler bad
reconsidered his decision to withdraw
from the Held as a candidate and that
he would be presented after the second
ballot.

THE REAGAN INQUEST.
Verdict or Dulh rrom Unknown Causes Testl-
mony Elicited
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Jury of Inquest was called together again
to hear tho testimony of witnesses In
reference to the sudden death of James
Reagan at Dunn & .Smith's stable yes-
terday at 12 o'clock.
Dr. Ilarnllz deposed that he had been
called In and administered a hypo-
dermlaemetlo but too late and the man
died a few moments later. Could not
tell whether he died by potcon without
holding a post mortem examination.
Messrs. Smith nnd Dunn testllled sub-
stantially to facts as stated In the Ltiitir
of yesterday.
As It may be of Interest to readers the
testimony of Mrs. Reagan and her son
Is given In full. Also that of C. C. Arm-
strong who believes Reagan tiled rrom
the efl'ects or strychnine.
Mrs Una Reagan wife of the de-
ceased stated : 1 couldn't state If there
was anything the matter with my hus-
band this morning when he left home.
He told me not to give any evidence In
the Recorder's court this morning but
1 said "Oh yes I must be there." He
then went to his work. I sent his break-
fast down after that and he ate It all
right. Ho said some time ago and even
yesterday evening to the girl that
lie would not be long with us or suffer
for this meaning the charge against
him. 1 sent him up his dinner. 1 did
not speak to him again. He said: "Oh!
Willie I have the cramps" nnd fell
over. We have been married 10 years.
We have had lots of trouble before. He
was not good to his children and did not
enro for his family and did not bring
home what ho earned. I do not know
his exact age. I think he was about fi2
years old. He wus born In Wisconsin.
We have eight children. We own n
small homestead. On Monday at 12
o'clock he drew a knife on his son nnd
It was reported to the police who came
after hint next day. The boy gave him
no provocation. He said last night he
would not eat any more supper with ns.
He threatened to kill himself a week
ago. I don't think however he killed
himself. I think he had heart disease
or something else. He was tight when
he had the trouble with his son but not
so drunk he did not know what he was
doing. Ho wanted the boy to whip his
uncle. His temper was very bad.
Willie Reagan said: I brought my
father his dinner. He was sitting on a
cot and fell over on the floor after sit-
ting the dinner down and said: "Oh
Willie I have the cramps" and fell as
he said It. He had no bottleoranythtng
with him. Ho had been cleaning har-
ness. I then ran home and told my
mother to come down.
C. C. Armstrong testified : I am not
acqulnted with Reagan; 1 think 1 only
saw him to-day. I first saw him on the
floor of our harness room In a dylngcon-
dltlon. His death was very like that of
others I have seen when strychnine had
been used. The convulsions were the
same. He died within IB minutes after
I saw him. I saw no phial or any poison
near hi in and I could onlyjudge by bis
appearance that he had taken poison.
The Jury returned a verdict of death
from unknown causes.

THE TEXAS LEAGUE.
THE DATES ARRANGED FOR THE BASE
BALL CONTESTS.
Galveston and San Antonio Day Hare en August
l"NorthTeias tint The
omclal Schedule.
The following Is clipped from the
Houston Journal of yesterday atlernoon
and will he read with Interest by bass
balllsls and olltzena generally:
Last night Mr. AtexKaston President
of the Texas Ilaso Hall League Manager
Jackson of the Galveston Nine and
Sam Haines of the Houston Nationals
completed the olllclal schedule of games
to be played by the League clubs. It
will be seen that the league games
proper begin at San Antonio August .1
tho Galveston club playing the Sunsets
there. It has been decided that the
11 rat games of the season bo played In
Northern Texas on account of the sea-
son North Texas being usually blessed
with lino weather during August while
In September It Is likely to be rainy and
had weather generally. Hence the last
games of the season will be played In
South Texas a decision which our peo-
ple are decidedly In favorof as It will give
them an opportunity of witnessing the
closing struggle for tho championship.
It will he noticed that In the schedule
blanks have been left for three games
each at Houston Uoivcslon Dallas
and Fort Worth. This has been dono
to leavo open dates to be tilled In on
extraordinary occnslons or In the best
paying towns. For Instance If late In
the season Dallas should be found In
patronize the players better than Fort
Worth matters might bo so arranged as
to give Dallas a couple of extra games.
While the league games according to
tho schedule will not commence until
August yet Houston and Galveston
open tho ball at the latter placo next
Sunday and a return game will be
played at Houston tho followlngSunday.

pionship games to be played by the

Thus It will be seen that each club
plays 30 games 15 at home nnd 15 away.
The chances nre that tho championship
will rest In Houston or Galveston al-
though the Dallas clublsapt tobe heard
from. Most of the clubs will follow the
example or Houston have a paid pitch-
er and catcher and make up the balance
or the nine with home talent. It Is to
bo hoped tho league will be liberally
patronized. In which case the national
game will give It everlasting popularity
In Texas and Insuro a strong league
next year.
Tho Journal will probably find Itself
slightly mUtaken as San Antonio ex-
pects to hold the championship.

A Valise Stealing OudeL
A well dressed respectable appearing
young man giving his name as Robert
Haynes went to F.merson'a last night
and asked the loan of $1.50 on two vn
Uses which he offered In pawn. He
said that he had Just come In from the
country and had neither friends money
nor a plaeo to stay. He succeeded in
getting $1.25 and left tobe seen no more
for some tlmo to come. Now It turns
out that at least one of the valises was
stolen and has been identified as the
property of Joseph Rosen who worked
at the St. Charles Restaurant on North
Flores street where Haynes had also
been working ono or two days. Haynes
la only about 18 or 19 years old and his
genteel appearance completely disarmed
Mr Kmerson's Jeweler' who let 'him
