endorsing the civil service reform policy. The

The deliberations OF this committee attracted
more attention last night than almost any other
| side issue OF the convention. Regarding the con-
test over the tariff declaration Associated Press
dispatch said: Monday morning senator German
| and Congressman Scott had reached an under
standing concerning the tariff plank. They had
arranged TO reaffirm the tariff clause OF 1854 and
to add moderate Endorsement OF the Presidents
tory OF the democratic party's position on the
tariff. Scott had also consented to let German
committee. Congressman Scott yielded to this
compromise In behalf OF harmony, and through
desire TO bring all diSaected elements OF the party
into full sympathy with the Administration.
But to-day the truce was declared on.
German, Barnum and their h1gh-tarin sympathiz-
ers were more active In visiting the influential
men OF the various delegations than was relished
by scott. There were signs that the htgh-tarin
men were preparing TO steal march on the other
censed at the selection OF ex-Mayor cooper, a
strong protectonist, as the New York representa-
tive on the committee. From the other side Scott
was subjected TO great pressure, Commissioner
Morrison and Henry Watterson calling on him
and Insisting that no compromise, however small
the concession involved, should be made. The
agreement between Scott and German was finally
declared on, and Watterson, who had been a candi-
date for the permanent Craftsmanship, was put
forward as the candidate OF the tarif-reform
people for chairman OF the platform committee.

CHURCH WINS IN THE DAKOTA CONTEST.
1t took nearly four hours last evening for the
committee on credentials to settle the faction
night in Dakota between the followers Of Gov.
Church and those OF the Dakota member OF the
national committee, NJ. II. Day. Church won. IL
was purely personal contest, having its origin
away back when Church was recommended for
governor TO President Cleveland by Day who
afterward sought TO have some one else appointed
In CQurcnS stead. A motion 10 divide the delepa-
ton between the contestants being voted down,
the committee went into executive session. and
voted by large majority TO sustain the Church
delegates. This action. IL Is understood, means
the disposal or Mr.. Day as Dakota member OF the
national committee and the appointment OF
Church as the successor.
BRADY WILL not SUPPORT THURMAN
Some members OF the Ohio delegation continued
to oppose Humans candidacy yesterday. Robt.
Blee held back long time, and 1t required the
adoption OF a unit rule to lead him from his Oppo
sition. No sooner had this rule been adopted tuan
John Brady was on his feet. He said: s.(ientle-
men, you may adopt any rule you like. but came
from Cincinnati 10 oppose the nomination OF
Thurman. You may throw me out OF this caucus
or intimate that my presence Is not desired, and
Will stay out But, nevertheless, will 60 to the
convention and take my seat as q delegate and
man." This determination caused confusion and
there were threats, but TO no purpose Finally
resolution was adopted releasing Mr.. Brady from
the binding unit rule, and he will act indepen-
IDENTIFY. Brady is one OF the stauncheSt adherents
or the Payne-McIean faction.
still last night there seemed no chance OF
throwing the convention into q hight on the Vice
Presidency, ana 1t was hoped that the convention
might finish Its work to-day.
