THE TARIFF PRoBLgM.
The Daily Neios says Abraham b.
Hewitt arrived this afternoon armed
with plank for the national platform.
Although be arrived at a late dav he
created az much stir m did Henry Wat
tsrson. who has established headquar.
tsrs at the Palmer House. Hswitt's
resolution was Of a conciliatory nature,
and seemed TO meet the approval Of
several western tariff refsrmers, bat
vas not sufficient y positive on its dsclt-
ations against protection to snit re-.
formers of the most prominent type.
During tho day conference was held
bstween Hewitt, Manton. Marble, Smi,h b.
Weed and others, at which II was de-
eided by the opp ,nents OF the Waiter
son school 10 reject the Hewitt resolu
ton In part and unite uppn plank
similar 10 that adopted In O4io. THIS
will not suit extremists In favor OF free
trade. A strife will probably occur over
that plank.
YIELD RESOLUTION.
Az meeting yesterday of large
number OF California citizens and Dem
ocrats present at Chicago in attendance
upon the National Convention, the fol
lowing expression of opinion was unan-
inously adopted:
WHEREAS. The affront offered to Judge
Field by the California State Cpnvsn-
ton was not an expression OF the Dem
ocratic party nor people OF that State,
but was factional outburst of the con-
yention, which was largely composed OF
delegations appointed by county com
nistees, in denial of the peoples right
of primary election, or other psrticipa-
ton in processes which are the begin.
ming of parties entrances upon n Presi-
dential campaign. IL WAS without pre-
esdeui, aud misrepresentation Jf the
best Of the party and the most elevated
public sentiment in California, aud has
seriously jeopardized the elector u votes
which united partv weuld b. proud to
present 10 the victorious Nstioah De
mosraey and.
wHEREAs, The people of the Pacific
Coast, regardless of party, are justly ia.
dienant at the attempt to treat with
contumely an eminent citizen. whose
fame belongs 10 his country. whose REQ
ord Ia spotless Ia regard tn ID m ocratlo
principles ~ taught by Jefferson, vindi-
GATED by Jackson, md emsraoed In
thess latter days By 1ilden. wbose right
70 the Presidency in 1876 was so main
hinsd by Judge Field as a member of
the Electoral Commission as TO give it
The solemnity OF an undisputed histori-
cal title /; therefore,
Rtsolped, That we esteem il the duty,
ash should he the pleasure, OF every
true Californian TO give TO Judge Field
hs proper place OF honor-foremost
among the leaders of the Democratic
party, from whose number the Presi-
dsntisl candidate Is to be chosen.
kssclued, That We will pledge our best
eaofls as Californians for the candidate
lobe chosen by the National Convsn-
iion. In whose battle We will enter with
mat enthusiasm which has always made
aunited Democracy iuvincible in our
rtste. We ask for onr claims and the
record and merit Of Judge Field the re-
specttul consideration they deserve. con
ndent our State will give him her cleo
uni vote. unheeding the mistaken
eourse Of our wisguided fellow citizens
vno are enlisted in the deplorable work
that disofpanizatiou which IL often
ne fofeFunner of defeat.
