 CHIcAGo, July 9-At meeting of the committee on platform of the Demo cratic national convention. held last night, Wm. s. Morrison, of Illinois, was nominated for permanent chairman of the Committee on Resolutions by the tariff reform members, and George F.. Converse, of Ohio, by the protection ele- ment. A ballot was then taken on the nominations, which resulted in Is votes for Morrison against IS for Converse. ms Ile vote caused something of a sen sation among the members, and another ballot was ordered, which resulted the same way. It being apparent that thIs was a dead lock Tn the committee, it was agreed that the temporary chairman should act as chairman during the form ation of platform, but that when that work was done the committee should elect a permanent chairman. whose duty 1t will be to present the resolutions to the convention. The representatives of the States of North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri had voted for Converse, and the tariff people had re- lied upon these votes, and had expected that with full count the vote would stand 15 to 23 in favor of Morrison.
 The platform committee met at half past ten o'clock, and for the first time secured full attendance. Heretofore General Butler aud two others have ab- scented themselves. The revenue re- formers express more confidence this of their ability to secure a plank in favor of reform. They claim that a division will show 2D for aud IS against.
 When the Ohio delegation, headed by Senator Thurman, made it's appear ance, the spectators generally joined in doing honor to Thurman and many such expressions were heard: "The noblest Democrat of them all" "he ought to get the nomination
 As the hour approaches for the meet ing of the convention 1t js more appar- ent that the opponents of Cleveland will make another attempt to break the unit rule and that upon the result of thIs they count the chances of Bayard, Me- Donald or Thurman Es good.
 Very judicious work has been done Tor Mir. Field and if the instructions of Df the California delegation did not stand Tn the way the demonstration in his behalf would be more pronounced.
 The enthusiasm for ex-Senator Thur man yesterday encourages many in the hope that he may be finally selected as ! compromi.e candidate. Nothing can be lrged against him, they say. The Cali are very demonstrative in pushing his candidacy and if the Ohio men united for him and were equally as jealous, he would be very formidable.
