morning The Tilden aud anti Tilien
men appear equally confident. but
/ Tilden's opponents are so slow that
time is helping their cause. They are
doing what they quietly can to defer
the balloting as long as possible. The
struggle in the platform committee
over the finance plank has been very
bitter. Some Of the Western M embers
openly declare if the plank is adopted
that any candidate who is placed upon
it will be beaten aud that il
will be the burial of the
Democratic party. General Erwin,
OF Ohio, has been the principal spokes-
man of the Western Views on finance.
