The st. Louis Convention is Cleveland
Convention all the way through, although
it is said that the platform will be mod
ification of his message and his tariff bill
The tariff plank will be one constructed
to hold protection democrats until af:eI
election at least. Cleveland and ma or-
ity of his party are bitterly opposed to
protection but they dare not stand up
squarey to their belief from the fear of
loosing the votes of the minority of their
party who believe with Randall in pro-
lection. They realize that they need all
their votes this year and will adopt any
means to secure them.
