The Indians Go Home Without Signing
STANDING Rock AGENCY, Dak., August
I'm council this morning there was no
favorable change in the minds of the In
dians. John Grass reiterated the determ-
ination Of the Indians to refuse to sign
either papers. Gall said his people would
go home today. They started to leave
when Agent Mclaughlin ordered them
to remain, which they did. The commits
sioners then finally adjourned the council
and told the Indians to 60 home and at
tend to their crops and the commission
ers would proceed to the other agencies
and when the Standing Rock people we're
wanted again notice would be given them.
They then dispersed quietly and set out
for their homes

No Tariff Bill Expected,

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Representa-
tive Bynum, of Indiana, is positive that
the senate will not pass tariff bill. He
thinks that while they may succeed in
framing one in the committee, they can
not agree upon any measure that will re-
ceive the approval of the majority of the
members of the senate. "There's so
many divergent interests" he says, "that
it is next to impossible to suit everybody,
and the republicans are beginning to find
out the difficulty under'which the house
committee labored.

tiOnistS.
Roswell p. Flower, of New York, and
Daniel W. Voorhees,, of Indiana, were
the opposing leaders, the latter being
regarded as the spokesman of Gray.
Though outnumbered many times over,
the phalanx under Voorhees, was max
ing
A MOST DETERMINED FIGHT,
contesting every inch in a way that
threatened to develop ugly feelings.
Just when things had particularly
squally aspect, Lieut.-Gov. White, of
California, in the interest of the Old
Roman, poured oil on the troubled
waters. The postponement asked for
by Voorhees, was advocated by Gov.
White on broad grounds in manner as
magnanimous as it was unexpected.
The adjournment was in peace.
Many left the hall with dark forebod-
ings regarding what might take place
in the platform committee before the
convention reassembled, but the great
majority of the delegates fell to discuss
ing on the way out from the hall the ex-
citing details of their own proceedings.

credentials of delegates from Alaska

they were referred to the proper COM
committee.
Congressman Timothy Campbell, of
New York, then offered the following
petition, which was referred to the COM
mittee on platform:
Whereas, We believe that the safety
and continuity of Republican institu-
tions on this continent imperatively de-
mandS the recognition and enforcement
OF the Monroe doctrine in all it's length
and breadth. That territorial acquiS-
tion or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in this quarter
of the world by foreign and monarchi-
cal powers should not only be dis
countenanced, but should be dis
couraged and prohibited by every
means i'll our power. That it is
our duty, as well as our interest, to es-
tablish and maintain the most friendly
diplomatic and commercial relations
with our sister republics, Mexico and
those of Central and South America, to
extend them such moral aid and sympa-
thy as they may need co protect them
selves from unrighteOuS encroachmentS
OF European powers upon their terri
tory, or OfficiOuS interference in their in
ternal governmental affairs; and, fur
ther, II necessary to maintain the
supremacy of the Monroe doctrine on

to make and enforce our demands
against whatever power may undertake
to eyade or disregard it: therefore, be it
Resolved, That a copy of this pream-
bic and resolution be transmitted as
represented to the national Democratic
convention, which is to assemble at st.
Louis on the 5th day of June, 1888, for
such recognition thereof and such action
thereon as the said convention may see
fit to take concerning the same.

Throne of Grace.

Rev. DIR. GFeene'S Address TO the
Throne of Grace.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-The invocation of
Rev. DR.. Greene,in opening the cOnven-
ton, was as follows:
"Oh Lord, Thou hast been our dwell
ing place in all generations. Thou hast
been the God and art the God of all ma
tions. Thou hast appointed the bounds
of their habitations. Thou hast been
the God of this nation, the God of our
fathers, and we, their children, this
morning enter into the inheritance of
the blessings that Thou didst bestow
upon them. We come this morning to
ask Thy blessing upon this assembly:
upon these men who have come up
from these sister states, from all over
this great republic, who have come. on
this important occasion, sent by their
people.
Oh, God, do Thou bless them in this
assembly this morning, and as Thou
hast ruled over this nation in all the
years past, and Thou hast brought good
out of all our evil, do Thou this day
RULE OVER THIS CONVENTION
for the good of this nation and for the
glory of Thy great name. We pray
that Thy blessings may be upon the
all the governors of all states of this
country and upon the humblest officer
of the people of our nation, and upon
the humblest citizen of this great. re-
public. We pray, Thee, o God, that
Thou wilt guide US in our destiny.
Help us as people to fear God and keep
His commandments, and direct us in all
our ways, that we may be the Lords
people, not simply in the profession of
our lips, but in a Cody and holy and
Just life. Now we commend ourselves
to Thee for the guidance of Thy spirit,
and as thou must overule the mistakes
of men for the good of Thy name, and as
Thou must guide us in all things that
are great and good, do Thou this day
bless these men and lead them in Thy
way according to Thy purpose, and let
them remember this day as they sit in
this convention, that they are not only
making history for this country, but
they are also to determine that which
will be good for it or bad forit, and may
their policy and may their works re-
dound to the good of all citizens of all
this country and for the glory of Thy
name in all the earth. Let thy blessing
rest upon us now and evermOre. We
ask it in Jesus name. Amen.

COLLINS is CHOSEN.
California's Representative Gives
Way to the Boston Orator.


ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The report of the
committee on permanent organization
and order of business being called for,
Mr.. Cassidy, of Pennsylvania. stated
that the committee had unanimously
agreed upon Gen. Patrick A. Collins,
of Massachusetts,, for permanent chair
man.
After the cheers which came with the
announcement of Gen. Collins selec-
ton had subsidized, the secretary read
the list of vice presidents and the rep
reSentatiyes of each state to notify the
nominees of the convention of its re-
suit. The recommendations of the
committee were that the order of buSi-
ness of the last national Democratic
convention shall obtain, and the rules
of said convention shall govern this con-
vention, with the modification that no
state shall change its vote for president
or vice president until the call of states
has been completed; also that the re-
cording secretaries, reading clerks, Of
fetal stenographerS and Sergeant-at-
arms of the temporary organization
hold their respective offices un-
der the permanent organization.
These were concurred in and Chairman
White said: The chair will appoint
William III. Barnum, of Connecticut,
Hon. Roswell P. Flower, of New
York, and Hon. Johns O'Day, of Mis-
souri,, as committee to escort Hon.
Patrick A. Collins to the chair. This
announcement produced uproarious ap-
plauSe throughout the convention which

in compliance with Indiana's request,
gave the Gray people some little hope.
Rumors were flying about to the effect
that one or two doubtful states had
swung into line for the Indianian, but
the Thurman following laughs this to
scorn. Voorhees, and Scott had a sharp
time this evening and the Sycamore de
manded the nomination of Gray as the
one thing that would save Indiana.
Scott peremptorily replied that Thur
man must go on the ticket and
a scheme was attempted tonight which
fell fiat with disheartening thud. The
Gray men offered to throw their in
fiuence to White, of California, if
he could pull the Pacific slope
into line for himself, but he re-
piled that he was loyal to
Thurman and had been appointed tenn
porary chairman by the Thurman in
fluence. This attempt is regarded as an
admission of weakness by the Gray
men, and rumors of his withdrawal are
on the streets. Considerable fine work
in his behalf is going Oh tonight, and
VOORHEES, is stalking his political reputa-
tion upon his ability to knock out Thur

WILL SUIT THE WEST.
The Tariff Plank in the Platform
Is Practically Cleveland's Mes
SdSO.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe.
st. LOUIS, June 6.-The platform-mak-
ers finished their work tonight, and
though the exact language of the tariff
matter will not be made public until it
is read in the convention, the principles
laid down were formerly announced.
A hungry crowd besieged the door of
the committe room at the Southern,
and had the satisfaction of hearing
Henry Watterson give his views. The
result is in the nature of a compromise,
though the Watterson stripe carry off
what little victory there is in it.
An effort is making tonight to create
the impression that the platform is
victory against the administration, and
that William l.. Scott, as Cleveland's
representative, was given black
eye, but this is almost alb
surd in the light of the fact
that Mr.. Cleveland's letter is used in
the Interpretation of the tariff principle.
The one great point in dispute was the
reaftirming of the platform of 1884,
which was desired by the Scott combi-
nation. Mr.. Watterson declared this
platform was ambiguous and susceptible
of dual construction and the COM
promise was to reaffirm the platform,
eliminate the antiquities and to de-
clare that Cleveland's message is the
authorized Interpretation of its princi-
Piles. This really makes the message the
KEYNOTE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The platform indorses the principal
of the Mills bill in its effort to reduce
the revenue and tighten the tax burden
of the people. Of course Mr.. Watterson
is pleased with the result, and Senator
German is quoted tonight as having
declared ms appreciation, but there is
difference of sentiment among the lead
ers as to where the victory should be
located. E. G. Stringer, the Minnesota
member of the committee, says the plat
form will please the Northwest and en-
body the popular idea in that direction.

DECIDING THE ONLY CONTEST.
The Church Delegates From Dako-
ia Get There>at Last.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The report of the
committee on credentials was submitted
by the chairman, John G. Webb, of Ala
bama. The only portion read was that
referring to the contest in Dakota as
follows:
There were no contests in any of the
states and territories except Dakota,
where a contest was brought before
your committee by the Church faction,
against the Day faction. The delegates
selected by the Church faction are w.
f. Steele and III. l.. Mcguire; the dele
gates selected by the Day faction are
A. w. Bangs and L. w. Wallace. After
a thorough investigation into the merits
of this contest, this committee decided
almost unanimously to recommend that
w. f. Steele and II. l.. Mcguire be
allowed seats in this convention as
legally elected delegates to represent
the territory of Dakota.
The names of Arthur II. Delaney and
A. Ii. Carney, delegates from Alaska.
were added to the list and the report of
the committee adopted.
The cOnventiont upon the suggestion
of Chairman White, then ordered that
George G. Mcguire be appointed upon
the committee of permanent organiza-
ton. and William r. Steele on resolu-
tionS and platform.
