WASHINGTON, June l0.--George Bliss
continued his testimony before the
Springer committee to-day. lie said he
believed the transactions between Brady
and Walsh not loans, but money paid
for expeditions. Referring to the tosti-
mony of Hutchinson, the foreman of
one of the grand juries, that, he had
promised Price he should be II
witness before the jury, Bliss
said: ~ can't reconcile Hutchiil-
sons testimony with the facts
that existed; | never said Price would
appear next day; ! said we hoped TO
have Price as n witness ut the trial"
Witness said his reason for
opposing the acceptance OF Price as n
witness and granting him immunity
was that Price had not revealed enough
to Justify immunity i'm respect to the
prosecution of Kellogg. Bliss said the
question came up that the prosecution of
Kellogg would change the Republican
majority i'm the Senate, and then the
question of postponing the trial until
after his term expires; ~ said If Kellogg
was guilty enough to be indicted he was
too guilty to remain in the Senate and
make laws; l never said IL was serious
thing to indict United States Senator;
a colored Juror made the remark, and |
perhaps replied that il was This com
pleted Bliss testimony and the commit

NASHVILLE, June l0.-The Democratic
convention re-assembled at . Il. IN. The
entire forenoon was consumed in the
consideration of the platform. The
minority report which emhodies the
features ofthe Ohio platform, was tabled.
\ motion to table the majority report
and relegate the whole tariff question to
the National convention was voted
down.
The call for the previous question on
the adoption of the majority report on
the platform failed for Lacks Z u two
thirds majority, and the convention adj
journed to 3 p. IN. A majority of the
delegates to Chicago favor Cleveland.
A long platform was finally ad opted
which IL devoted about equally to State
affairs and to the tariff OF the latter
the following are chief points; Justice
and sound policy forbid the Federal
Government to foster one branch of in
dustry to the detriment of another. or To
cherish the interest of one portion to the
injury of another portion of our COM
mon country, and hence we denounce
the present tariff as masterpiece of in
justice, inequality and false
pretense. We favor reduction
of the tariff and demand
that no more revenue be raised than is
required to defray the legitimate ex-
penscs of the Government economically
administered, and revenue raised for
any other purpose, whether by custom
house taxation or otherwise, unauthor-
lied by the constitution. We denounce
the Republican party, because the logic
of its long lease OF power, coupled with
the duplicity of sham pretences,
evidenced by its platform recently
adopted in this state and also
at Chicago, shows that IL is the settled
purpose of the real leaders of the party
TO subvert local self-government and
erect on its ruins and the poverty of tn,
masses consolidated depotism.
