the general impression among Revenue
Reform Democrats that the defeat of
yesterday disposes of the tariff question
for this session. Democrats OF the Nor
rison wing OF the party are not entirely
east down. They say the fight for
revenue reform has only begun. In the
Democratic National Convention, at
Chicago, they say there will be no Re-
publIcans with whom the minority might
form alliances TO defeat the will of the
majority, and those reformers expect TO
secure their vindication in the shape of
aievenue reform plank in the platform.
