ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Henry Watterson
in an interview says:
.'"The platform committee is not yet
organized nor Indeed entirely made up
and, of course, no one can say with
authority as to the precise tariff plank
the committee will agree upon, if it
agrees at all.
"What sort of tariff plank would
you suggest, Colopel?''
~ am clear in my mind that we should
stand squarely by the president and our
friends and representatives in congress.
1t is too late to disown the one and to
apologize to the other.'

"The Mills bill isa simple measure net

Of course, document which is to lay
down fighting lines for campaign
which is to last nearly SIX months could
not take it for basis. But we should
give the principles of the message and
the purpose of those in congress who
have supported it so ably, and so bravely
urged it's endorsement. We sho I'D uol-
crate no straddle. Whether we like it
or not we shall have to face the music of

face it like men of sincerity and of honor,
who are not afraid of their convictions
and have the courage to maintain them"

HAS NO MACHINE.
The Thurman Boom Apparently Spon-
taneous Outburst of Popular Feeling.

taneous Outburst of Popular Feeling.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The New Workers
decided that they would not specifically
and as unit recommend anybody for
vice president, and also decided that they
would not vote for vice president when
the name of New York was called, nor
until the complete roll of states was
called. This was perhaps little bit of
delicacy coming from New York. How
ever, it is understood by everybody here
that Thurman will receive the solid vote
of New York for vice president He will
receive the solid vote of Ohio and so
much support from the Northwest and
from the West, including, of course, his
special friends from the Pacific coast,
that no effort of organized opposition can
hope to defeat his nomination.
The talk Of the town at first was that
Thurman was the candidate of the ad-
minis ration. Nobody can trace this TO any
responsible source. In fact, looking over
the field as Il camera looks at it's object
it would seem that the Thurman boom
was spontaneous outburst with the peO-
pie. il.
The Thurmanites have have no organic
alton. They have neither bands or ban
ne7o, and there has been no organized
effort; no machinery from the day the
first adclceation arrived until the present
to urge the claims of the "Grand Old
Man, of Ohio. just now it looks as
if the Thurman boom could not be sup
pressrl.
Black is heard of frequently: N-orrison
Is spoken of as the man who would fill
the bill with an exactness that it would
be futile to go to the trouble of measur-
ing.
The Texans are particularly warm for
Morrison, and if any accident should
happen to the "Old Romans" boom tits
not unlikely that the Texans will sup
port Col Morrison. although there are
several admirers of Gen Black, Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson among
them.
If Thurman could be beaten, however,
it would be almost taken for granted
that he will carry Gray along with him,
as the friends of Gray have made them
selves offensive to Thurman during the
past few days: that Thurman's friends
will see to it that Gray cannot rise on the
ruins of the grand old man. Black is
seldom heard Of: Hearst is only men,
toned as Il dernier resort, Dickinson and
Villas are considered out, and Gen.
Stevenson. of Illinois, in the event of AL
accident to Thurman, is considered the
most available and most promising dark
horse

Interesting Notes and Comment From The

ST. Louis, June 5.-The city looked
fresh and clean after Sunday. The
streets are thronred with strangers,
many in clothes too light for the temper
ature. St. Leuis can no longer retain
her reputation for heat in June.
The blare Of brass bands can be heard
in all directions as the delegations como
in one long procession from the Union
depot down Twelfth and Olive streets.
The citizens, regardless Of party at1ilia-
tions, have endeaEored to excel each
other in the tasteful decorations Of their
business places. The convention badges
are seen on the breasts Of men every
where. These, together with the suits
of many of the clubs and the Cleveland
button (Which is quite a feature among
the vistors), relieve the otherwise mo-
notoncus costumes of the men. The
bright dresses of the women complete
the picture and remind one Of q mardi
gras festival in New Orleans.

Dele cations of Soldiers on the Ground
With Material for the Platform.
ST. LOUIS, June o.-An address has
been drawn up by number of old
Union soldiers who are delegates to the
convention, and it will be urged upon the
attention of the committee on deputa-
tions. The following resolution, which
it is hoped will be embodied in the plat
form, accompanies the address:
In appreciation Of the services of the
Union soldiers and sailors in the late war
for the Union, we demand justice for
them before charity, and pledge the DEM
ocratic party to the passage of just and
equitable service pension law, and also
the equalization of bounties IN the cur
rency the army was compelled to re-
ceive at par.
The address points to the number Of
loyal soldiers who have gallantly sup
ported the Democratic party. The war
is over, but its glorious memories form %
common heritage All the obligations
growing out Of the conflict have been full
filled to every creditor except the soldier.
Much, it is true, has been done in the
way of pensions, but the full duty of
the government toward those who saved
it from utter ruin has not been fulfilled.
The amount paid to pensioners is only
one-quarter as much as the amount
paid to holders of bonds. Contractors,
who often swindle the government, re-
ceiycd payment in full, but the soldiers
who carried out their contract in good
faith and saved the U2ion have received
only part payment. They ask for JUS
tice. not for charity. The criticism that
the Democratic party is disloyal to the
'"''less should be avoided by liberal pen
sion legislation. The address closes with
an appeal for the adoption of the above
resolution.

It is given out that uhe vice presidency

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The permanent
craftsmanship of the convention is still
attracting some interest 1t was settled
some time ago that the honor should fall
upon P. A. Collins, of Massachusetts,,
but now the Southern men are doing
some quiet kicking and are contending
that it would be unfair to the South If
it should be denied an opportunity to be
heard in the convention. They con-
tend that the South will be at
tackled all along the line by the Repub-
licans in the fall campaign, and
that an authorized representative Of the
South should speak the sentiments of
that section as permanent chairman of
the convention. A good deal of this talk
has Eeen heard in the lobbies, but several
members of the national committee will
adhere to the original programme, and it
is extremely doubtful whether the South
ern element will go SO far as to take the
bit into its own mouth and antagonize
the report of the committee on perma-
nent organization.
The national committee has selected
s. M. White, of California. for temporary
chairman. -.

ST. LOUIS, June 5-Wil!ia1n L.. Scott
said to Press News reporter:
Thurman's nomination will prob
ably force the nomination of John
Sherman on the Republican ticket,
for without him as the standard bearer
the Republicans must lose Ohio. With
Thurman we shall make as strong fight
in Illinois and Indiana as we would had
we nominated Gray or Black, for Gray is
too good Democrat not to accord with
the interests Of the party, and Black is
young enough to wait. Besides, the ap-
pointment OF Fuller, of Chicago, to the
chief justiceship ought to satisfy Illinois
and does.
Sherman is unpopular in the East, ex-
cept among bankers, while the popular
ity of Thurman there is equal to that of
the president himself.
We shall get New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
Suppose Gresham is nominated?"
.sThen we are sure of Ohio, while our
strength in the East will still be re-
tained, and either way, we have the Pa
cific slope solid'
Ex-Governor Bishop, who has kept
himself pretty close to the IAdiana Gray
contingent, says:
The principal opposition could offer
to Thurman's s candidacy is one of policy,
We cannot hope to carry Ohio, while In
diana is the battle ground, and
it seems to me we should place
our forces where thee can do the most
good. At Allen G. Thurman's time of
life, with SO many years of honorable
public life behind him, the vice presi-
dency could not honor him, and his nom
ination might jeopardise Indiana, for the
hoosier boys have come here with their
hearts set on the nomination of Gray.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, while admit
ting that Thurman is his second choice,
talks in q similar strain. There is no
doubt that the Thurman men are appre-

kENNA'S OPINION.

The Platform Will Adopt the Presidents
Message and Ignore the Mills Bill.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-.-In conversation
with representative of the United
Press, Senator kenna, of West Virginia.
said that Thurman would be nominated
for vice president. Speaking of the tariff
question, Mr.. Keuna thought the tariff
plank would re-affirm the plank in
the platform of 1884, with an
explicit Endorsement of the presidents
message. By giving an Endorsement
to the message he is of the opinion that
no one can justly say the Democrats have
straddled the question NJ. Cleveland
was elected on the platform of 1884, and
