THE PLATFORM.
The Principles for Which the Republicans
VIII Fight.

WAsHINGTON, June l5-The Republi-
can platform of 1888 has been practically
written in Washington, and all that the
Committee on Resolutions in Chicrgo
will be required to do will be to dove
tail the panks together and trim down
he edges, 80 as to make a workmanlike
lob OF the whole. II is not yet known
who will be the chairman of the Com
miitee on Resolutions, but everything
point. to Representative Mckinley of
Ohio receiving that honor. The main
features of the platform will be as fol-
lows:
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has pre-
pared a plank cOndemning IN strong
terms the President for not carrying out
his ciyil-seryice promises as outlined in
his letter accepting the nomination.
Special prominence will be given to the
pension plank, which is the joint work OF
Senator ingalls, and Representatives
Grosyenor of Ohio and henderson OF
Iowa. In srecent speech before Grand
Army OF the Republic post in this city
Senator ingalls, declared that he had dedi
Gated himself TO services OF the Grand
Amy Of the Republic, and for that rca-
son the pension plank was given 10 him
Representatives Grosvenor and Hender-
son had also prepared planks, and they
submitted them to the Kansas Senator,
who took out the best parts in both aud
used them in his
In general way it may be said that
the platform will declare in favor OF lib-
eral pensions. that il will animadyert, in
the strongest terms, on the President for
his veto of the dependent pension bill
and private pension bills, and that ne
will be called to account for his general
usurpation Of the veto power
The tariff plank Is the joint work Of
Representatives Mckinley, Reed of
Maine and Burrows of Michigan. the
three leading members of the minority of
the Ways and Means Committee.
The plank will follow the lines laid
down by the minority report on the
Mills Till, which report was drawn by
Mckinley, aided by the other two gentle
