THE VIEWS OF TIE SENATORS.
Special to the Gazette.
WAsHN GToN, June While every
thing is red hog for the red bandaEa at
ST. Louis, very cold wave seems to have
struck the Thurman boom at the cspitol,
and but few Democratic Congressman
could be found to Gay VINO we're prepared
to advocate his nomination. The revolu-
tio2 in sentiment on this subject cannot
be accounted for unless it Is that
upon sober second thought they realize
his sge and IL flrmities and incapscity for
the require ments OF the campaign. Sew
ersl Democratic Senators to-day while
discussing the situation at ST.. Louis were
very emphatic 10 their opposition to
Thurman, not on personsl grounds, but
because they consider his nomination
EXCEEDINGLY BAD POLITICS.
Said one Of the Senators who served In
the Senate with Judge Thurman and VINO
entertsins high personal regardisor him.
III can't understand how Thurman csn
think of accepting since he has always
been named as probable head of the
ticket, and his known views, while hsr-
monious with the Presidents in principle
do not agree altogether in respect to
practical application"
present while these remarks
dorse them, out al agreed Thurman can
add out little strength to the ticket; be-
sides none who saw him during his last
visit to this city will forget how feeble in
body he appeared.
NRw PLATFORM NECESSARY.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 5.-There is s
plan on hand to simply reaffitm the tariff
plank Of 1884 and omi. all reference to
the Pres dents message. Henry Vat
terson, who is member OF the committee
on resolutions, said Of the revenue: "The
old enemy OF revenue reform is about as
tireless, sleepless, and expert as ever in
his purpose 70 confuse the Democratic
councils and to play in the hands OF pro-
tectionists. When you hear q man talk
ing about the readopsion OF the tariff
plank Of 1884 set him down at once as an
enemy OF revenue reform. The readopt-
ion Of the old straddle plank Of 1884 on
the tsriE would not only fly in the face
of the Presidents message, and maxi the
withdrawal of the Mills bill q necessity,
abano oning all the ground We have
gained in the last four years, and partic-
ulsrly in the last six months; but would
send every true revenue reforrner home
sick a, heart, and would delight the Re-
publicans and
DISGUST ALL HONEST MEN.
It is Q trickerY device 4 mere corporal's
guard composed Of men largely and per-
sonally interested in high tariff taxes, who
are making their lasr struggle to obstruct
reform. am clear in my mind that we
should stand squarely by the President
and our friends and representatives in
Congress. The Mills bill is q
simp measure not yet perfected,
and liable to amendment Of
course. The platform which Is
to lay down the sighting lines for cam
psign which is to last nearly six months
could not take 1t for basis, but we
could endorse the principles Of the mss
sage and the purpose Of those In Con-
gress. We should tolerate no strsddles
Whether we like it or not we have TO
face the music Of the Presidents making,
and We ought to fsee 1t like men,"
