Nsw PLATFORM NECESSARY,
| ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 5.-There is q
plan on hand to ply re.ffism the tariff
plank Of 1884 and omit al reference to
I the Presidents message. Henry Was-
| teraon, who is member Of the committee
On resolutions, said OF the revenue: "The
old enemy Of revenue reform is about ss
tireless, sleepless, and expert as ever in
| his purpose 10 confuse the Democratic
councils Snd 10 plsy in the hands OF pro-
tectioniats. When you hear r m4n tslk-
ing about the readoption of the tsrif
plank OF 1884 set him down at once as an
| enemy Of revenue reform. The resdopt-
ion Of the old straddle plank of 1884 on
| the tariff would not only fly in the face
of the Presidents messsga, and make the
withdrawal of the Mills bill necessity,
absnC oniDg all the ground we have
gained in the last fourf years, snd psrtic-
ulsrly in the last six months; but would
send every true revenue rotor ner home
sick o. heart, and would delight the Re-
p.lblGsns and
DISGUST ALL HONEST MEN.
It is 3 trickerY device G a mere corporsPs
gnsrd composed Of men largely and per-
sonsly interested nhigh tariff taxes, who
are making their LAST struggle TO obstruct
reform. am clear in my mind that we
should stand squarely by the President
sid our friends and representatives in
Congress. The Mills bill Is a
simpe measure not yet perfected,
Ahd liable to amendment of
course. The platform which is
to lay down the fghting lines for 8 cam
paign which is TO last nearly six months
could not take 1t for bssis, but we
could endorse the principles of the mes
sage and the purpose OF those in Con-
gress. We should tolerate no straddles
Whether we Ike 1t or not we have to
face the music Of the Presidents making,
and we ought to face 1t like men,"
THE CLANS GATHERING.
As the convention gathers full brass
band Of sixty pieces, stationed on the
west gallery, fills the hall with martIsl
strains and popular operate airs. The
delegates straggle in last of all, generally
by delegations, and there is soae confu-
sion in seating them in accordance with
the plan arranged, but nobody appears to
be in hurry, sLd everybody is good
nstured.
As noon approached the vast audience
watches each new conner to catch famii-
lar face and to cheer whenever O promi-
nent figure is recognized. Those in the
hall who can read the rather dim inscrip-
tions beneath the portraits On the fsee Of
the east gallery railing repeat the
epigrams to their next Ee!ghbors,, who
