Pennsylvania and New Jersey stood
firmly with Delaware in its first de-
clared assertion as to tariff.
"You must remember, too, the import
OF that d. to vote. each state and

majority OF the chosen representatives

doubly sifted and chosen because first
by their own states and then selected

important question before the nation.

THE GALLERIES DID IT.
"'rhe galleries carried that substitute
tariff plank. The galleries had too
much weight with the delegates. This

portant position in the Cleveland adj
mlnistration, or Of using his great
influence unduly, undoubtedly led him
to maintain noticeable reserve as regards
public convention utterances. But, at
the same time, it was gathered that Mr..
Bayard felt that, IL Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination went by default, he could
never forgive himself for the failure.
