THE PLATFORM.
There is good deal of growing among delegates at
the settled determination of the party leaders have
an outandout hard money platform adopted by
the Convention. Independently of their private
views on the financial question they do not like
to tho New York democracy place itself
in such direct antagonism with the party in Ohio and
Pennsylvania and fear the effect that will have
party success in those States. They would prefer n
trimming policy at this juncture and the adoption OF
plank shat would be meaningless else utter gnor
ing of the question An effort will undoubtedly be made
to modify the resolutions this subject that will be
reported from the committee; but il is likely to
succeed All admit that the democratic party of this
State could consistently back square down from
position they took last year. but majority think that
the issue had better be avoided or slurred over,
just at this time to await future development The
bold assurance of the Western inationst appears to
have demoralized many men of the hard money demo-
Gratis of the East, and they 1t to be settled
thing that the West and South will be nearly
unanimous for imitation in the Presidential contest next
year.

little interest 1t will ndorse to the fullest extent the
