[See Book II. for Democratic National Platform and Comparison;
Book III. for Governor Abbett’s speech nominating Cleveland.]
A notable scene in the Convention was created by Mr. Neal, of
Ohio, who moved to substitute a radical free trade plank as a
substitute for the somewhat moderate utterances reported by ex-
Secretary of the Interior Vilas, who read the report of the Committee
on Platform. The substitute denounced the protective tariff as a
fraud.
Mr. Neal made an earnest speech in support of his substitute and
was ably seconded by Mr. Watterson.
Mr. Vilas replied defending the majority report in a vigorous
speech, which was as generously applauded as that which preceded.
The debate was animated and made specially interesting by the
suggestions and calls from the galleries. The substitute was finally
accepted by Chairman Jones on behalf of the committee, but this did
not satisfy the friends of the substitute, who persisted in having a roll
call upon its adoption.
A synopsis of the platform was submitted to and received the
approval of Mr. Cleveland, and it was reported that the Neal
substitute was prepared by the anti-Cleveland leaders, and the fact
that the roll call was persisted in by the anti-Cleveland men gave
color to this report.
There was a great deal of confusion and excitement preceding the
roll call, and its progress was watched with as much interest as
though its result was to decide the nomination. The States at the
head of the roll generally cast their votes according to what was
believed to be the feeling of their delegations on the Presidency, but
later on the order was more varied, States known to be for Cleveland
casting their solid vote for the substitute. New York was loudly
cheered when the 72 votes of the State were given for the substitute.
It was a most inconsistent vote, as Tammany is not regarded as a free
trade organization—rather as one favoring moderate tariffs. A ripple
of excitement was occasioned when Chairman Hensel cast the 64
votes of Pennsylvania against the substitute. Mr. Wallace protested
that 15 of the delegates favored the substitute, and he demanded that
the delegation be polled. A colloquy followed between Hensel and
Wallace on the rules of the Convention, and the point raised by the
former that Wallace’s motion was not in order under the unit rules
was sustained by the Chair.
The result of the vote was 564 for the substitute and 342 against it.
