reasons assigned for delay in presentin
the platform is that Mr.. Cleveland ser
word by wire to Mr.. Whitney that hi
name must not be presented to the cor
venton until he had seen a synopsis c
the platform upon which his candidac
was to rest. Mr.. Whitney when aske
was Mr. Cleveland had asked him
keep him informed upon the princip'
plank and he had done so. 1t is believe
that the Anti Cleveland people will max
their fight tonight on the silver plan
in the platform and Mr.. Whitney sal
