The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1888-06-07

mentioned the name of President
Cleveland the convention arose to its
feet, and, with waving hats and tiutter-
ing handkerchiefs, cheered for several
seconds. The mention of tariff reform
was also cheered, and at the close of his
address the speaker was generously
applauded. Curiously enough, refer
ences in the speech to Tilden failed to
arouse any marked enthusiasm, and
none Of the New York delegation APP
plauded the mention OF that once
inspiring name.
REVENUE REFORM AND ANTI-REFORM.
When the name of David Turpie, of
Indiana, was called to represent that
State upon the committee on resolutions
there was burst Of applause, which
was, however, eclipscd by the cheers
which greeted the selection Of Henry
Watterson to the same committee by
the State of Kentucky, nor was y. p.
German forgotten by the assemblage
and the mention or his name was
vigorously applauded.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-A gorgeous
parade of fully 80, hOO uniformed Demo-
Gratis in procession was witnessed to-
night by people in such numbers that
they could he estimated only by hum
dreds Of thousands. The procession
moved at All early hour and was still
moving at 1910 Before the march be-
gan Olive street, the thoroughtare
leading to the Convention hall, was
ianmed for over a mile, pavement,
sidewalk, cutters and stairwaNs, with
such solid mass of human beings as,
perhaps, never before gathered in any
American city. At short intervals over
the entire distance great flames lit up
the scene and marked the long vista, a
spectacle of surprising briiliancy. The
street was only cleared sufficiently for
the procession by p0undinga passage
through the mob with trains OF cable
cars. While enthusiasm was evoked
everywhere by the display Of Thurman
bandanas among the marcheIs.

Especial to the News and Courier
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The committee

ator \. p, German, of Maryland, We're
put in nomination for the chairman

vote of % to 20, four members not
voting. At the suggestion of Mr.. Cor
man Watterson's nomination was made
unanimous and, upon taking the chair,
the latter remarked pleasantly that had
the committee known how nearly in
harmony were the two candidates the
election would probably not have been
deemed necessary.

THE LATEST.
\. M.-The situation can be SUNNI
ed up in few words.
The subcommittee on the platform are
in a deadlock over the tariff plank. Mr..
Watterson is urging an unqualified
expression on the tari fl question and
Senator German is arguing that few
conservative words are sufficient.
With Mr.. Watterson are six members
Of the committee while Mr.. German is
supported by the New York, New Jer-
sew and Connecticut members. MI.
Gorman says that the tariff reformers
want to 60 further than the President
will approve While Mr.. Watterson, on
the other hand, threatens if his plank
is not adopted to bring the tariff qucs-
llOll DelOEC lllC NOllN clllloll anu ttSh q
roll-call by States.
The subcommittee is to report to the
full committee at 9 \. NJ, if the plat
form is completed. This does not seem
likely now, and the struggle may be
prolonged all day. The tariff reformers,
however, are certain of ultimate vic
tory, as they represent nine-tenths Of
the convention
