surprise that in the opinion Of the minor.
ify of the Ways and Means Committee the
measure was not sufficiently harmonious
10 secure their approval. They found in it
no merit because IL proposed to reduce all
duties alike. A horizontal reduction might
not be best, but none other was now Prac.
sficable. protectionists opposed 1t not
because 1t was a horizontal reduo

When no more revenue is needed by the
Goyernment OF the people, it has attained
tbe limit Of its power to tax the people.
Morrison said that during more than
low or lower than before the adoption OF
the taxing policy as pretended means Of
making wages higher, and continued:
efThere is but one horizontal reduction for
which our opponents are willing to legis'

vailipg policy,
The Cure for Whatever National His

is to be foundi in higher priced clothing aud
other articles useful in fields, mines and
homes, for that is what is meant by higher
taxed wool, fence roads, cotton bands and
tin plates. Some of our friends here would
cure the ills of over taxation with declara.

they would carefully avoid and here is the
declaration. 1t is called the Ohio Platform.

that he contem plates a permanent stay at

the preparation Of another volume for the

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April l5.-The frss
instsllment Of the delegates to the State
Convention arrived last evening, about
seysnty-fve in number, forty of whom
came down on the st. Lawrence, the bal
aree on sn eastern train. This morning
one hundred more arrived by rail, and at
O'Clock the steamer Chancellor came in
With one hundred and fifty. This after
noon the latest installment OF over one
hundred from the upper Kanawha and
Greenbrier counties came IN. There are
over four hundred delegates here and they
form in all respects the most representative
assemblsge Of Democrats ever congiegatsd
in this State.
A distinguished gentleman from another
State remarked to-day that he had never
seen such respectable looking body of
men gathered to any political convention.
influential Democrats from all the coun-
ties of the State are here, and such an out
pouring is the best evidence OF the general
desire to see the party put in good trim
for the summers campaign.
The expression is very universal for
Tildep, and the mention OF his name
creates enthusiasm. There is general de-
sire for harmony, notwithstanding the
presence OF few chronic aisorganizsrs
from the Panhandle, whose croakings are
ignored and disregsrded by the mass Of
intelligent delegates.
The convention will assemble tomorrow
morning in the Opera House at ten O'Clock.
The district conventions will be held in the
afternoon.
Those prominently mentioned as prob.
able delegates to Chicago are:
From the First district, Lewis Blker,
ThOs. o'Brisn, W. f. Lively, and Ed Nc
Donald.
From the Second, Henry G. Davis, Wm.
Clements and William L. Wilson.
From the Third, Frank Hereford, John
f. Henns, W. H. Hogemsn, Westly Mollo-
han, B. F. Harlow, and Geo. H. Moffet.
From the Fourth, David H. Leonard,
Charles Despard, George W. Thompson,
Governor Jackson and G. G. Burgess. II is
possible that the convention may decide
to select Presidential electors.
There is an expressed disposition to re-
lieve the party Of the responsibility for the
assessment.
There are a few chronic kiekers here
who are trying 10 kick up row but no one
will give them an opportunity. All indi-
cations tonight point to a harmonious con-
vention and good results.
