CHICAGO, July 10-10:25 A. M.--The
weather is clear aud pleasant. Itis thought
that a ballot will be reached this y. m :,
and final adjournment to day. The com
mittee on resolutions have agreed on the
platform. 1t says that no tax, direct or
Indirect, can bo imposed upon tho people,
except TO meet tho expense Of govern
ment. 1t provides that tho necsssaries OF
life, including tea and coffee, shall come
IN free.
The situation Unchanged.
The Tribune says the friends Of Judge
Field are hard at work and be stands well
az dark horse. Hewitt's name is also
mentioned this morning. IL is said that a
number of Indiana and Western men
favor bringing out Hendricks after tho fret
ballot. Some papers claim that Cleveland 4
strength is waning and Bayard gaining.
The general impression though is that the
situation is unchanged and Cleveland will
probably get the nomination. The
Tribune puts hlm down for 397 on the first
ballot and Bayard 1d7, The Times says
Bayard is looming up and that Butler has
Withdrawn from the contest and will
support Bayard. Its estimate is;
Cleveland $50, Bayard 102, Mcdonald 63,
Thurman, 9i, Carlisle 90, others scattering.
boginning the Third Days WORK
The convention is assembling with an
immense crowd in attendance. Ii is said
that six Of the Iowa delegates have changed
from Cleveland, four going to Thurman,
and two to Bayard. Randall il develop ug
a good deal Of strength this morning.
The convention was called to order at
:05 a. IN, The first business ia order is
tho completion of the call Of states for
presidential candidates.
The Massachusetts, Aolegates had a
secret caucus last night. Tho members
admit that Butler had reconsidcred his
withdrawal from tho field az clnddatc,
and that he would DO presented after the
second ballot.
The Daay Ne1Cs reports the following as
Gen. Buffers tariff plank ReSOLUed, That
customs duties should DO levied for the
purpose OF raising money for the necessary
expenses Of tho government and to protect
aud foster American industries aud
protect American labor. That raw
materials manufactured IN this country
should come in free, as should also nee
essarics which are used on the poor mans
table, such as tea, coffee, etc, and that
tho tariff on luxuries should be placed at
the highest limit.
For the first time since the opening OI
the convention there was not jam at the
Palmer house this morning before :
O'Clock. For some reason, perhaps the
fatigue of Yesterdays session aud last
nights marching, the people slept late.
IL was relief to be able to walk through
tho large corridors of the hotel without
being crushed, and 1t was agreeable to
those who have business in the Palm 81
house to reflect that nervous excitement twa'
telling upon the over Jealous visitors anC
tagging them out. The reflection was onlN
short lived, however, for by 0 o'clock the
rotunda and corridors had again tiilsd up
aud the tremendous crush which ha
characterized the past week was repeated
again.
n Disagreement on the rlatt run.
The sub committee on resolutions la
| completed full draft Of tho platform
| which it commenced to read to ths fu
committee at 1890 this forenoon. Th
draft does not meet tho approve
of General Butler, and he has pre-
| pared minority report, which will
| be submitted to the committee. L. i
expected his report will be rejected by T.;
heavy vote. 1t is anticipated the Iegula
minority report may be submitted to th
convention, in which event sharp dis
cussion is expected. This may consume {
great portion of the days session. 1t i
not now probable that the report will b
read in the con vention before noon.
