SYRACUSE. n. Y, Sept. 14.-This is gong to DO

ton is soon solved by talk among the delegates OF

line from Montauk to Niagara. In Lockport, one oi

AN HONEST AND EMPHATIC PLATFORM CERTAIN.
lis wei, settled already that the platform will DO
of the most emphatic and uncOmpromising charac-
ter Instead of hedging on the financial question,
a. has been charged in some quarters the Conven-
ton would do, not to present TOO strong con-
tras to the Ohio and Pennsyl lyania platforms, the
Convention will in the first place reafrm the entire
Democratic platform of last year. This it will be
remembered declared gold and silver the only legal
tender denounced currency inconvertible with coin
and demanded STEADY steps toward specie pay
ment no step backward; honest payment OF the
public debt in cOin." and "sacred preservation
Of the public faith" But this is not all.
The Convention will adopt an additional
plank stin stronger than this denouncing
Imitation ii is said, in set terms There Will be no
mention of the rag money mama III ONO ana Pehn-
sylvana but this increased emphasis results solely
fha of hat mi
assurance of the strength of this plank comes to me
5n such way as to leave doubt of its trustwor-
thincss and il is coupled too, with an expression
which has flavor ike that of some of the Execu-
five sneeches " in q storm raise the standard
higher and in this way the infationsts OF the west
have raised the standard of the Democracy OF the
East The reaffirmation Of the past years platform
will necessarily cover, beside the financial pianks'
demands for revenue REFORM home rule, no gag laws
uniformity in excise laws civil and criminal
remedies for official peculation no third term,
economy in the public expenses &c.
In reference to the canals, there will be, as mat
Ger of course an expression of hearty approval OF
what has been accomplished by Gov. Tildcn and the
Commission and demand for the continuance OF
the work. There will he, however, no specific de-
claraton in reference to canal policy further than
fhis 1t is not yet certain whether the platform Will
have anything to say of the school question, which

The only thunder there at Saratoga, that the
Syracuse Convention adopt bodily the plank
adopted there or that il embody in its
platform the last sentence of that plank,
which declares against all sectaran appropriations
and any sectarian peryeTsion OF the school funds
These hare been mere suggestions, however, and 1t
IL not unlikely that the Convention will express its
notion to the tmelinoss of the issue by ignoring
1t altogether. All the planks outlined above are OF
course liable to modification in the 36 hours that
get remain before the Convention meets; but so far
es can be foreseen nOw there is no intention ap-
parent of making an alteration in them. The fore
going may be depended upon as an absolutely accu-
rate summary of the intentions of the managers as
The outlook now is.
no FIGHT EXPECTED OVER TIE PLATFORM
There may be an attempt to spring an equlvocal OF
oven an unequivoca imitation resolution on the Con-
vention but every care will be taken in tie cOmpo
sition of the Committee Resolutions to prevent
any attempt to give such movement a favorable
reception. No struggle is expected on any other
plank and there is only bare possibility of debate
on this. Imitation talk does break out here and
jhere, but it usually comes from some red-haired
natesmen of the New-York lower wards, who de-
flares that "hard money wont 60 down with the
nassesr There seems to be very general disposi-
6on TO accept hard money quietly. No one expects
10 see the Canal Ring delegates much as open their
mouths Mr. Manton Marble, who was the author
,f last years platform. will be placed on the Com
nittee on Resolutions and may be made its Chair
man.
NATIONAL DELEGATES NOT TO De CHOSEN.
