Only Democrats Gain a Victory
in the Chicago Convention.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-The radicals and
conservatives in the tariff reform con-
ventiOn fought it out to-day. The free
traders had the best of it in the debate,
but when vote came, the chairman
decided that tariff-for-revenue had the
best of him. The debate was exciting
and well sustained. The Chicago men
took conspicuous part. Indeed it looked
like a contest between the IrOquOiS
club, of Chicago, and the Free Trade
club of New York. The discussion was
precipitated in the middle of the after
noon session by the unexpected present
ment of report by the committee on
resolutions. George A. Clark had
ended paper upon Leather and the
Effect of the Protective Tariff. Upon It''
at the afternoon session, when the
venerable James d. Hancock, of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the plat
of the convention and read the follow
ing declaration:
"First-We hold that it is the natural
right of every man to freely exchange
his labor, or the product of his labor, to
the best advantage. We declare our
selves unalterably opposed to the So
called protective system, and demand
the prompt abrogatio.l of all protective
features from the tariff.
Second-We believe the American ma
ton will reach its full measure of pros
perity only by enacting, at the earliest
day practicable, such legislation as will
apply the American principle of free
trade between the states to the United
States in their relations to the world.''
The committee on resolutions, about
evenly made up of pronounced free
traders and tariff-for- revenue men. had
wrestled over a report for five hours. 1t
was finally determined as compromise
to offer report as above in two parts,
