all the machinery of delay and resolutions,
motions, speeches and points of order were
diligently aud adroitly employed to further
the intention OF Planting obstacles in the
way of the policy Of making nominations
in advance Of an adopted platform Of prin-
ciples. This spirit exhibited itself in the
interruption of Edward Atkinson's remarks
of action of Committee on Resolutions,
raising the point of order that the speaker
could not consistently make report of a
semi-otficial character, concerning doings
not officially communicated. The ConYen-
ton, finally worn out with the unayailing
struggle of parliamentary tactics, adjourned
till 10 O'Clock Friday, convinced that moth
ing but dissension and Vehemence of dis
cussion would result from further eOntinu-
ance of the session.
We conclude, from the information re-
eelVed from a number of sources, that
the resolution on the tariff question which
has been agreed upon in committee, con-
tanned the spirit Of the Missouri plank,
though it avoids what seemed the most OBJ
Jectlonable to the protectiOnists, owing to
the overwhelming vote in the Convention
stspending the rules, indicating that the
sentiment OF the majority was universally
in favor of the Greeley platform. It is now
believed, and indeed one of the
most pronounced free trade mem
bers of the Convention said
that in the morning the resolution
would PROFESSIONALLY be shaped so as to
meet the views expressed in the COnYen-
ton tonight. This two-!hird vote, it is
claimed, shows the strength Of Greeley.
The Southern States voted almost unani-
mously in favor of suspending the rules;
the New England States largely; New York
voted 60 ayes to noes; Indiana ia The
Same proportion; Illinois divided half and
half. Horace White, of the Chicago 1ri-
ba11e, is Chairman Of the Committee on
Resolutions.
What Greeley Says This Morning
The New York Tribune tomorrow in an
article on the platform and tariff viii have
the following: We have steadfastly insisted
that the liberty to differ on the tariff ques-
ton always hitherto enjoyed by Republ-
cans shall not be denied 10 those who sym
pathize with the movement. We have not
asked nor wished that protection shall be
accepted or endorsed by Liberals who see fit
to be free traders. We have denied the
right of any convention or committee to
make these Liberals who are prOteetonists
profess what we are not. We are not of
one Dind on that question. Then why not
say. We would not exclude or repel fire
traders from the movement il we could.

BlelKIeS and Spain.
WASHINGTON, May PIT having been
published in a morning paper that war with
Spain was imminent, and that Mr.. Sickles
has been instructed to demand his pass
ports on arrival at Madrid, several menu
bers of Congress and others have made in
quiry at official sources with regard to the
startling announcement, when the follow
ing facts were aseertained: Minister Sickles
took out with him instructions in relation
to the release Of DR.. Howard in the spirit
OF former communications on that sub
ject TO our Charge De Afaires, Mr.. Adee,
urging the release of Dr. Howard,
who, according to official information re-
ceived yesterday, is still at Cadiz, well
treated, awaiting the result of the pending
correspondence between the countries, and
further investigation of the case by the
Spanish government. The resolution in
behalf Of Howard, which passed the House
Of Representatives Friday, did not reach
Secretary Fish until Monday, and therefore
did not form the basis or any part of the
instructions of Minister Sickles, who left
this country for Madrid Saturday last. TIE
immediate object of the return Of SIekles to
Madrid is to bring home several members
of bis family, and to present his letter of
recall, be having some time ago contempla-
ted withdrawal from the position. /: is
probable his successor will not be
appointed for some time, and this
may depend on the conduct of the
Spanish governmental on the question pending.
Bullying spaIn 90 Cover our AIabama
Disgraee
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Tribune, COM
menting on the withdrawal of the demand
for indirect damages says the claims of the
State Department to establish principle
that will be beneficial to America hereafter
is humbug, and every stage of the nego-
tiations thus far has beeA anything but
ereditable to either cabinet.
The Herald says "Driven into an I'M
fortunate position by the incapacity of the
Secretary Of State, the President BY a series
Of expedients seeks to escape from bis mis-
fortunes by cOneeding to England, under
menace what should either have been with
held at the outset, or if presented at all
urged on the British Ministry with all the
resolution of our Government" It inti-
mates that the attitude of our Government
toward Spain is an attempt to conceal the
humiliation in one case by bluster in the
other. The resolution which would have
been noble and would have thrilled the
country month ago when applied TO Eng
land, now appears weak and vindictive
when applied to Spain. Spain is to De
bullied because we were afraid of England
The Hercld sees in this nothing but
matter for the severest criticism, for grief
paiG, humility.
