IN ST. Louis, Mayor Francis, Of that city,
t,lteraphed the President as follows;
Congratulations To you and the Democratic
party on time and location OF convention a.
It. Louis. 1t means the fight will be made
souHrely on the principles SO clearly, iorCinly,
snd couragcouSly enuncia'ed In your message
j. +. FRANCS.
That Is as we like 1t. Let the President
be encouraged TO persist in making hie
message his platform by oil means. Only
one amendment now suggests itself, aud
that is IN the form OF an addition in exact
line with the message itself. They should
make the alleged fisheries treaty plank
in the st. Louis platform. II that doesn't
emphasize sufficiently the administration
bias for English ideas, they might irdorse
the points which the British authorities
wanted to eugrait upon the extradit!ou
treaty touching the return Of political
offenders.
II the Democrats will "forclhly anl
