bound with encircling garlands and ropes
OF evergreens. Bending gracefully from
the capitals of the columns which uphold
the gallery are dropping branches of cellar
pine, and upon the faces of the
columns above hang bannerettes
bearing the arms of the states
of the union. In the background along the
hall is more elaborate attempt at decora-
tion. The Pierce statue If Washington on
horseback appears framed in festoon of
large American flags, which are caught in
the center of the frame above the head of
the statue by the American shield, sur
mounted by the American eagle with wide
spread pinions, grasping in his talons a
sheaf Of green wheat. The statue, which
has the appearance of marble, is highly re-
lleved by a background of rich brown plush
silk-draped curtains.
A STRIKING EFFECT,
The hall is amply lighted in the day time
by long skylight in the roof, and at night
by 450 Heisler and 800 Edison lncandescent
electric lamps. A very striking effect is
produced in the gallery above the stage, in
full sightof the delegates and spectators, by
an enormous shaded drawing of the Capitol
at Washington. From the east the illusion
is about perfect, and the striking
picture, 80 feet long and 2S feeJ
from the base to the cap of the goddess of
liberty at the summit of the dome, is the
crowning feature of the decoration of the
hall.
The delegates seats are arranged entirely
across the nave Of the hall, and stretch 80
feet in front of the platform. They are
arranged with two aisleS and in alphabetical
order, beginning with the Alabama delega-
tion at the extreme right front, and ending
with the Wisconsin delegation at the ex-
treme left front. The large New York dele
cation is nearly in the center. The Penn
sylvania delegation is two-thirds of the dis
tance back on the left hand row of seats.
The Ohio delegation is in the extreme south
east corner

ST.. LOUIS, June Sin the meeting of the
Georgia delegation to-day Col. ]. H. Estill
was elected member Of the national COM
mittee for Georgia. Hon. Patrick Walsh's
name was not even presented. Having sat
isfed himself that he would be badly de-
feated, Mr.. Walsh withdrew from the
race. Eight votes were cast for F. H.
Richardson by way of compliment though
he nominated Col. Estill, and announced
that he did not want to be considered a can
didate. William L. Scott, Henry Watterson,
William P Morrison and other tariff reform
leaders said to the NEWS correspondent
tonight that they were pleased to hear that
Georgias views on the tariff question were
to be represented on the national committee.
This, they said, made Col. EstilFs election
peculiarly gratifying to them. They all
spoke in the highest terms of the services
rendered the cause of tariff reform by the

wATTERsoN ON THE TARIFF.
Outspoken Opposition to the Proposal
to Straddle

to Straddle.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-There is plan, and
one backed by very influential party lead
ers, to simply reaiilrm the tariff plank of
1894 and omit all reference to the Presi-
dents message. Henry Watterson, who is
chairman Of the committee on resolutions,
said Of the scheme: 1.-THE old enemy Of
revenue reform, in a new disguise, is on the
ground as tireless and sleeDless and expert
US ever in bis purpose to confuse the demo-
cratic counsels aud to play into the hands
of protectionism. AT Chicago the party
was taken by surprise because the work of
packing the platform committee had pro
ceeded in darkness. 1t was then only partially
successful | hope that at St Louis the rule
of forewarned is forearmed' will hold good
and that the present movement to betray
the party in the interest of protection will
not succeed at all"
HOW THEY CAN BE DISTINGUISHED.
"How do you think the true and false on
this question can be distinguished"
"Wben you hear man talking about the
readoption Of the tariff plank of 1884, set
him down at once as an enemy of revenue
reform. That plank was adopted
after two days and nights OF
which the revenue reformers fully
realized. They knew that the nomination
of Blaine had changed the issue Of the CAM
paign from one Of doctrine to one of char
acter, and they entered the platform COM
mittee prepared 70 make every nee lful sac
rifice short of principle itself. They met
there body Of select men who had been
artfully picked for a single purpose, and
fed on protuse promises Of one sort or an
other, That single purpose was tho con-
struction of "A tariff plank which they could
claim as "A victory for pro; ection and de-
feat for revenue reform, and with the aid
of Ben Butler, they did compel the con-
struction OF plank which the country ac-
cepted as "A straddle.
COULDN'T ASK MORE NOW.
''They could ask uothing better at this
time than the readopicn of this straddle,
but its readoption would not only fly in the
face Of the Presidents message and make
the withdrawal of the Mills bill necessity,
abandoning all the ground we have gained
in the last four years, and particularly the
last six months, but it would send every
true revenue reforIner home sick at heart,
delight the Republicans and disgust all
honest men. 1t is the tricky device OF
Of men largely and personally
interested in high tariff taxes who are
making their last struggle to obstruct re-
form. But we should give the principles OF
the message and the purpose OF those in
congress who have supported it so ably and
so bravely, a ringing Endorsement. We
should leave nothing 10 conjecture We
should tolerate no straddles. Whether we
like it or not we shall have TO face the
music Of the Presidents making, and we
ought TO face il like men of sincerity and
hosor who are not afraid of their convic-
tions and have the courage to maintain
them ~

The Lively Deba q Caused by the Mo-

ST LOUIS, June "a good deal of feel
ing was developed in the convention this
afternoon shortly before the adjournment
by resolution offered by am Iowa delegate
that during the recess of the convention the
hall be opened for the inspection of visiting
clubs.
An Ohio delegate moved to amend by in
structlng the sergeant-at-arms to invite and
find seats in the convention for every uni
formed democratic club which comes from
other states. [Applausel
Upon the motion of an Arkansas
delegate, the whole matter was
referred to the national committee, but in
the discussion which the resolution pro-
voked, an Ohio man said: There are,
understand, uniformed democratic clubs
here from ten or twelve states. Those of
us who are delegates are obliged to the
people of st. Louis for their prIncely
hospitality, and think these clubs ought
to be permitted TO have seat in
this convention during the deliberations of
this body. Loud cheers.l | understand
that upon yesterday 1000 tickets were dis

! therefore insist that I'VE owe it to those
democratic clubs to extend to them o

1t was manifest that there was
large measure of sympathy with the
proposition TO invite the clubs TO seats in the
convention, but Missouri delegate rose
and stated that 1000 tickets had been is
sued to these uniformed visiting clubs, and
lhat no such number as had been stated had
been given to the chamber of commerce;

COInInlJJe0.
ST.. LOUIS, June 5.-The committee on
resolutions met in secret session at o'clock
this afternoon in the parlors Of the National
Democratic committee at the Southern
hotel. The committee was called TO order
by Edward Cooper, Of New York.
The names OF Henry Watterson OF Ken
lucky, and Senator A. p. German of Mary
land, we're put III nomination for the chair
manship, and the result was the election or
the former upon the first ballot by vote
of % to 20, four members not voting. At
the suggestion Of Mr.. German, Mr. Waiter
sons nomination was made unanimous.
The following was the vote by states and
territories:

The committeeman from Florida, Nevada,
Montana and Washington Territory were
not present or refrained from voting.
The session was brief and harmonious
throughout.
As the doors were opened many promi-
nent gentlemen who had been anxiously
waiting the results thronged about Mr..
Wattelson and offered hearty congratula-
tions.
Tonight the only feature Of genuine in
terest is the deliberations of the committee
on resolutions. More real political effort
has been put forth on the composition OF
this committee than for the. vice presidency
itself, or, indeed, any other work before the
convention. Monday morning Senator Cor
man and Congressman Scott had reached an
understanding concerning the tariff plank.

Judge Thurman's name was not me entioned
but the red bandanas with which the
banners of twenty delegations were deco
rated, and the answering bandanas in hun
dreds of hands, spoke so eloquently of him
as to bring forth round after round of
applause. The Gray men stuck a gray hat
on their delegation pole and tried to
appear steadfast, but the private admissions
OF the Indiana delegates we're so we'll known
that the poor old hat deceived no one. 1t
was SO we'll understood that Gov. Gray's
name was not to be presented to the con-
ventlon tomorrow that it did not matter
what the lndianians said or did publicly to
the contrary. Had it not been for the
formalities, Cleveland and Thurman would
as certainly have been nominated to-day as
they will be tomorrow. All the other vice
presidential candidates have simply been
overwhelmed and swept out of sight by the
Thurman tidal wave.
EFFECT ON THE REPUBLICANS.
William L. Scott says their nomination
will compel the nomination of Senator
Sherman by the republicans, and that
NA'S ShAiS AAAhJ eSlNO OIo LOpuDllCduS Ou1O,
1t will give the democrats the Pacific coast
and Indiana.
Senator German thinks Blaine will be
nominated by the republicans. The Blaine
men, be thinks, will kill off Gresham and
then kill off each of the other candidates
until Blaine's nomination becomes inevita-
bic. Both Messrs. Scott and German, like
all the leaders, agree that whoever is nonli-
mated, they will fight desperately this time,
and that the victory which they predict for
Cleveland and Thurman, will not be lightly
won.
William II. Barnum is to be continued as
chairman of the national committee. Mr..
Scott says that while he is willing to go on
the national committee he is not willing to
take the Craftsmanship. He says the chair
man, whoever he is, will be obliged to make
straightforward fight for tariff reform on
the lines laid down by the President.
Senator German will probably be con-
tinued as chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the national committee.
FIGHTING IT OUT.
The subcommittee on the platform was
SO interrupted by cheering and passing
bands that it did not take up the tariff
question until after 10 o'clock. 1t then re-
tired to Edward Cooper's room, and pro.
ceeded to discuss it hotly. Mr.. German
insisted that the plan agreed upon by Mr.
Scott and himself had the approval of the
President Mr.. Watterson insisted that
that fact made no difference if it was not
acceptable to the Democratic party. and Sc
it went on. Both sides were excited,
and inclined to fight to the bitter
end, Mr.. Watterson announcing that he
would carry his radical plank before the
convention, and Mr.. German announcing
that if such plank was adopted he would
take no part in the campaign. Meanwhile
Mr. Scott, after trying in vain to get Mr.
Morrison to interfere, went to bed some,
what depressed Mr.. Morrison SAYS Mr.,
Watterson will win in the committee and
in the convention in spite of the efforts OF
the 1884 plotters Mr. Scott hopes for an
amicable compromise

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 5.-The Cleveland
democracy of Buffalo, with full brass
band playing "Dlxie," marched into the
gallery, and created something Of sensa-
ton, the convention bursting into applause

had made circuit of the gallery and was
seated. The clubs crimson banner, with
its conspicuous gold letters inscribing the
Presidents name, became at once one of the
most conspicuous and popular ornaments in
the hall Every member Of the club wears
high hat and Cleveland badge. While this
club was enthusing the convention, Hon.
S.ephen NJ. White of Columbia. who was
TO be temporary chairman, stepped into his
seat quietly, very few persons in the hall
recog nizing him. Mr. White is a man of
strong ph siqus, stoutly built, and of me-
dium night, with full brown beard. While
he was shaking hands with the California
delegates, the Cleveland club parade came
to an end and the standard bearer planted
his banner directly in front Of the great
picture Of the capitol in the east gallery.

THE HALL.
The noble proportions of the hall struck
one at once with admiration. 1t is oblong
in shape, relieved upon either side by bal
comics reaching back 200 feet, above which,
stretching entirely around the auditorium,
is a broad overhanging gallery. The ample
stare reaches from the rear of the chair
mans platform 80 feet to the east
wall Of the hall and accom-
modates 440 Of the gathered leaders

simple, but effective. The stage is hung
with red, white and blue bunting, relieved
by festoons and borders of evergreens.
Upon a pedestal on the right of the en-
trance OF the stage stands bust of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and suspended upon the
face of the gallery above the stage, heavily
framed in gilt, is large portrait OF the fres
dent. On either side are similar portraits
of Cleveland, Hancock, 1ilden, Hendricks
and Ex-Gov. Marmaduke of Missouri.

The balcony and gallery pillars and the
