THE PLATFORM." Following is the full platform adopted: '-Whereas, The Democrat ic party had its birth in Jefferson's great contest against the centraliza tion of the powers of the Federal government ai.d in behalf of the strict construction of the Federal constitution, embodied in the tenth amendment thereto, in which all powers not delegated to it were ex pressly reserved to the States res pectively or to the people, and, "Whereas, The Republican party has ever been a parry of centraliza tion, "Resolved, That we appeal to the people to observe this 1'undanientai difference between the Democratic 'party and its traditional -:iemy in respect to the powers of the central government; that the constitution recognizes gold and silver as the pri mary or redemption money of those States and in the words of the Demo cra'ic platform 'we believe in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution at d a circulating medium convertible intj such mon ey without loss.' "We favor, indepen Je'itly of other nations, the free and uulimittd coin a0re of silver and gold without dis crimination against either, at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, and we condemn the system that in time of peace with millions of silver bul lion lying idle in the Treasury has forced the government within two years to issue nearly $212,000,000 in bonds. We condemn the action of Secretary of tne Treasury in follow in. the Republican precedent of pay ing the obligations of the govern ment in gold, which were specific il ly made payable in coin. AVe hereby instruct our delegates to the nation al convention both as to platform and candidates, to advocate and vote as a unit, unflinchingly, at all haz ards for the restoration of silver and otherwise in obedience to the letter and the spirit of the principles here in enunciated. AVe further instruct our delegates, State and oistrict, t) use all their efforts to abrogate the two-third3 rule if necessary to secure the nomination of a candidate in complete, in hearty and in kjiown accord with the principles herein enunciated by us. "We warn the people against the threatened combined evi Is of the go!d standard and the McKinley tariff. These twin monsters go hand in hand i'.i their nii?sion of destruction, draw-i-ig the very sustenance from the bxly of the people and concentrating all wealth and power in the bawds or til f 0 vv "AVe denounce the McKinley tariff and all other forms of a protective tariff legislation and favor a constitu tional tariff for revenue only. We are for the repeal of the unconstitu tional tax of 10 per cent, on State banks of issue. AVe declare our con fidence in a graduated income tax, in order that wealth may bear its due proportion of the burden of support ing the government, and we favor an immediate amendment of the consti fnfinn fir thfi United States authoriz- u i4 u y - v. ing its levy and collection in express terms, leaving nothing for judicial construction.

We insist upon the faithful execution ot existing laws againsc me bii 1 f ll. 1 " il1 upon sucn iurmei iegj.iicn may be necessary for their suppres- sion. , ,. The part of the platform relative to State offices is as follows : "AVe point with pride to the ec onomic and stainless administration of State government wherever Dem ocracy has been in power. We favor the enactment of such an election law as will secure the purity of the ballot. .. . fr.A "We favor the continuant v,. system of education established Dy the Democratic party aud pledge ourselves to its increased efficiency as the condition of the people and pub lic revenues may justify. "AVe favor the prompt, just and impartial administration of the criminal law of the State and we point with pride to the fact that a Democratic Legislature first enacted a law against lynching and that the faithful execution of the same has virtually suppressed that crime. ; "We cordially invite all men, re- ; gardless of former political associa- tions, to unite with us in a fight to tne nnish to- tree silver, for lower taxes, for higher prices for agricul tural products and labor, for the economical administration of govern ment and for. the freedom and indivi dual sovereignly of the American citizen. We declare our belief that the peace,-prosperity and happiness of the people of North Carolina de pends on the defeat of the Republi can State t'eket in the coming elec tion. There was a great sensation when Paul B. Means offered a substitute for the silver plank, favoring the gold dollar as the staniard. Mr Means said, in the course of remarks in sup port of his substitute: "The Senti ment uttered by my ideal man of this worii;, the President of the United Siate-."' InstantJv there arose a storm, of shouts and hisses, which: rose and fell for fully a minute. Mr. Means said he deplored the fact that anv convention would hiss the name of any President, be he Democrat or Republican. There were more hisses, hut in less volume, and thse came from both the galleries and the floor. -. r. Mean's substi ute was lost aves, 31; noes, 874 and by a rising vote the platform was, on motion of Mr. Means, unanimously adopted. Tne vote for the Means substitute was: Cabarrus 'jit, Franklin 6, Iredell 7, Lincoln Polk 3, Ruth erford b The following resolution was adopted by a rising vote: "The Democratic party, being al ways in favor of people struggling to secure liberty against despotism, extends its sympathy to the patriots who are now bravely endeavoring to free themselves from the exactions of monarchy aud to establish a sister republic in the western hemisphere." It was 3:1,5 o'clock this morning when the convention adjourned. M-'KISTLEY AND HOBAHT- The Republican Ticket Nominated at St. Louis. WILLIAM M KINLEY. AVm.

The delegates of t- Sixth Congressional District met this morning at eleven and uom inated the following for d -legates to Chh'.-iro: J. A Brown, of Bruns wick, and AV. C. Dowd, of Mecklei burt:. H' riot Clarkson, J B. Patterson, AA'alfer II. Neal and W. II. Bernard were elected Committee of the Sixth district TWO CONVENTIONS. CLOSE OF THECONVEN TJON. St. Lout Now Practically Deserted by the Visitors ome of the Winding-up Scenes and Incidents. Yesterday afternoon News gave the result ot the first ballot at St. Louis, which resulted in the nomina tion of McKinley. The candidate for Vice President, Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey, was likewise nomi nated 6n first ballot. The vote for Vice President was: Hobart, 533 ; Evans, 277; Bulkeley, 39; Lippett, friends desired the ejection of Mr. Hobart. The chief supporters of the four unsuccessful candidat-s for the Pre 1 sidency, Senator Lodge for Reed; Representative Hepburn for Allison; ( .overnor Hastings for Quay aud Mr. Depjw for Morton, came out in ring ing little speeches; uiovii g to make i McKinlev's rtonuni'ion unanimous : and pledging him the loyal support j of their respective StaTes. When, to Uhes' utterances, Mr. Piatt added his personal promise -of friendly c opera ! tion the cup of happiness of the Mc J Kmlev men was full. Mr. Dpew was at his lest in mov ing to make McKinlev's nounn iiion unanimous. He happily said that he was now nominati ag a winner. It the stand, the chairman introduced him as "Mr. Hobart of New Jersey." (The man whom the McKmleyites had determined to elect.) AVhenthe laughter this blunder occasior-ed cal led his attention to it, he adroitly passed it off by saving: "Mr Hobart of New Jersey will now be nominated by Judge Fort." AVhateyer enthusiasm was lacking in the early days of the convention, was supplied when the nonii nations were made. A more boisterous scene of yelling, plu'me and banner waving and other manifestations of ecstatic idiocy has seldom been heard or seen than that which, for r.earTy half an hour occupied the convention after the nomination of AVm. McKinley. The silver bolt was largely dis counted, and its effect was to a great extent neutralized by the speeches which Senators Mantle of Montana, Brovui of Utah and others made, de claring their coni- ued al'eg ance to the Republican pary roi wit hstand ins their disappointment on the silver plank. St. Louis, June 19. "tor the first time in the p .:itical history of the country the campaign of a can didate began eighteen months before the. convention was successful. To day the people who could not get out of the city last night are leav ing by all the trains and the city is rapidly resuming its normal aspect. Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about the results of the con vention is tiwt everybody seems sat isfied The silver men are rdore satisfied than t hey would have been with a straddle. The McKinley men have their candidates, together with a salutary feeling that they didn't have their way altogether. New York, Pennsylvania, New Eng land despite opposition hive the platform, and n. oonsc ousn-ss that thev made a succes-fu stand for the rig1' r. On all sides thuv is tl at cou'entment --hich pr eds from a confidence of victory at tlu polls. Ou the other baud , ih Democrats of this diistrict are uii.tlterably for free silver, and the lesnKof the con vention is a source tf satisfaction in their quarters also. Practically the o.i ly visitors left this afternoon are members of the various committees and distinguished party leaders. 1 hat will be the Case In Texas Bland at Amtln. Austin Texas, June 23. Rich ard Bland arrived here today, to make an effort to secure the endorse ment of himself for president, also to have silver endorsed. There will be two conventions, one by the silver, and the other by ggld wing of the party, who elect contesting delegates to Chicago. Democrat and Populists Will Combine Against Kansas Republicans. Topeka, Kans., June 21. Popu list county conventions have been held in a dozen counties, and all were for ex-Gov. Llewelling for re-election to the Governorship. There appears to be a landslide in the State toward Llewelling among the Populists, while the Democrats will support him in return for Populist support for a silver Democrat for United States Senator. The contest will be made on silver in Kansas, with the Democrats and Populists combined against the Republicans. Ex-Senator Ingalls anticipated this while at the St. Louis Convention, and telegraphed his friends that not withstanding the national gold standard platform he would return and make his fight for re election on the issue of bimetallism. Jerry Simpson is assured of renomination for Congress in the Seventh District. ' Henry Stanley Very III. LONDON, June i:5. Henry M. Stanlev, a member of Parliament and African, explorer, is ill in London with mflamation of the stomach. He has been unable to take food for several days.

No effort was put forth to carry out the much-talked of purpose of conferring the second place upon Levi P. Morton. Mr. Hobart went through the first ballot with many votes to spare.

Shelbytille, Ind., June 22.- Milton Rolley, an aged pensioner living seven miles from here, drew six hundred dollars Saturday. Soon after he reached home, two young men called to take him to the bed side of his daughter. He hurried to the barn for his buggy, and open ing the door was knocked down and fatally injured. His assailants went to the house and demanded the money of his wife, but she refused. They held her over the flames of a natural gas fire until she revealed the hiding place. Rolley's skull is crushed and his wife's chances of recovery are doubtful. Kansas Threatens to Bolt the Ticket. Topeka, Kans., June 18. Many prominent Kansas Republican say the Kansas delegation, in sustaining the gold standard platform at St. Louis, has not voiced the sentiment of a majority of the party here, and that 25,000 free silver Republicans will not support McKinley. This bolt would lose the State to the Re publicans,7 and would insure the re turn of a Populist or Democratic United States Senator to succeed Peffer,
