form Committees Tariff Fight.


ST. LOUIS, June 6th.-Mrs E A. Meinwelter of
st. Louis appeared on the platform to speak for
the Nomens Rights Convention, and at once
the band struck up ard there were rousing
cheers which fairly rent tee loof.
The Chairman asked the Convention TO please
preserve order while the lady spoke. Mrs.
Mtinwelter's speech was composed of old argu-
ments in favor of women's rights, and she asked
that the party make its practices of government
accord With its principles. Mrs. Meinwelter ad-
dressed herself more directly to the reporters,
and asked the adoption of 6. preamble platform
recognizing women rights.
The confusion increased, and Mrs Meinwelter
becoming annoyed, said Gentlemen, you are
not often troubled with ladies and ought to hear
one once"
Great cheering was elected by Mrs. Mein-
welter ind gnation.

mems Rights Convention at Washington, asking

quest be granted, and after considerable opposi-
ton and motion to resume the regular order

THE TARIFF ISSUE.
Platform Committee Struggling to Har-
moniZe or DeFour Its Opponents.

mohiZe or DeFour Its Opponents.
ST. LOUIS June 6th.-The Committee on Plat
form met ct o'clock at the Southern Hotel and
has been ever since discussing the tariff plank.
The whole matter thus far has been crysta!lized
into two simple propositions, consisting of but
lev sentences each, but differing materially in
substance and probable results.
The first resolution which ii was proDOsed to
make a tariff plank was offered by Senator Cor.
man of Maryland. 1t declared "that this Con-
yention reaffirm the old Democratic and Jefer-
sonian principle that all taxation, including i'm
ports and duties, shall be levied only for the
purpose of raising the revenue necessary for an
economical administration OF the Government"
The resolution then specifically declared the
tariff plank of the platform of 1884 as the prin-
cip.es of the present Convention.
Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, offered an al
Tentative proposition. This was also concise
and simple. but foTceful. 1t indOrSas the course
of President Cleveland, Snd declares his tariff
message to be precisely the policy required for
the industrial commercial and economic needs
OF the country, and further declares that the
party demands of It's representatives in Con-
gress the prompt passage of such laws as may
be necessary to carry into effect the ideas con
tanned i'll the message.
Senator German spoke for more than en- hour
in support of his motion.
Mr. Watterson followed with n speech of
about the same duration.
The West and South were larsely in favor of
MT. NstterSOn's : proposition, while the Eastern,
Middle aud me of the Nesteau States were
with Mr. German. An informal ballot resulted
in y votes being given to Mr. GO-lnsu's motion
and q for Mr.. Wattersons.
1t was then decided to have call of States
| for an expression of opinion.
motion to keep the proceedings strictly
secret was adopted unanimously, and Il braw-
| ny-shoulde-ed Sergeant-at-Arms guarded the
door.
The probable result of the struggle will be. in
the opinion of one of the members of the com
mittee the Endorsement of the Presidents mes
sage, pure and simple as the tariff plank on the
platform OF the Convention, and then, without
iurther explanation. leaving each local orator
TO interpret its antiquities in q way that will
meet the wishes of his audience. 1t will not be
'the Confederacy in the saddle but "the De-
mocracy on the straddle." 1t now seems prob
able that the committee viii compete its work
! in time to report to the Convention, and that
| the labor of 'he latter body may be completed
| to day.

tried to set copy of the platform, but the COM

OF our Democratic Representatives in Congress
to secure reduced taxation. In a separate reso-
luton to be offered tomorrow we win com

When asked whether this is in accordance
with his original ideas, Watterson said: well,
yes; my ideas We're originally opposed to any
recurrence to the platform of 1854, and when
that course was suggested l very naturally op-
posed 1t, because it had been subjected to a
double construction. Nevertheless, the stu

advised some weeks ago that an assault would

here relating TO the alleged drunken habits of

Mrs. Margaret Nicodemus, of Worcester, has
received an autograph letter from Mrs. Cleve-

ST. LOUIS, June tth.-Txis was an of day for
California and the coast, which sank almost
into inSignliicance compared with the preced-
ing day, when they were the center OF attrac-
tion. The East monopoliZed everything to-day
and the coast was not heard from. Its repre-
sentatioR was rather still in the Convent IL, as
each man had his work mapped out, and they
applied themselves industriouSly to pushing
home Interests. Free coinage and free ships
was the shibboleth that inspired the Pacific
delegates, and owing TO the late meeting of the
Committee on Resolutions, which lasted until
O'Clock this mo- ming, the attendance at the open
ing hour OF the Convention was very slim. No
attempt was made to gain effect by appearing in
a body, aud the delegates struggled in one by
one.
AFTER A JOLLY NIGHT.
Maurice Schmitt was the first one to take his
chair. Ills usually natty attire set off with an
immaculate white necktie was transposed for
the time being, as he wore a section of red
bandana encircling his shirtless collar in true
lovers knot. Thurman cropped out all over
him, and he spoke of Thurman for his first and

will be set forth in language that win present

STILL "PAINTIN 'ER RED"
The coast delegation has already distributed
5000 bandanas and IL looks as though they had
contracted TO supply the entire Convention
with the crimson emblemS of their candidate
for the second place.
When Maurice Schmtt took his seat he was
flanked by two monstrous packages addressed
to the California delegation They contained
bandanas enough to decorate every delegate in
the Convention. In a few minutes they were
all distributed, and the clubs began TO demand
the colors to add to their regalia. Otherwise to-
days meeting was featurele-s to the coast.
