.. tne leaders OF the Harrison forces ex-
pressed himself as perfectly satisfied with
the situation. II think IL looks better, - he
said, "now than at any time since reached
Minneapolis. The ranks Of the Harrison
men are unbrolSon and stand firm. We
have no cause whatever to be discouraged
or disturbed"
The Platform.
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew was asked to
give his views apon the platform. He said
''rhere are two principal questions that
will engage the attention of the convention
tariff and silver. l think there is abso-
lutely no division among the delegates upon
the tariff The party is wholly committed
20 the doctrine and policy Of protection and
the platform viii declare in favor OF pro-
lection and reciprocity.
"Reciprocity does not interfere or is not
inconsistent with the theory of protection
as maintained by the Republican party.
Upon the question Of silver L think there
viii be no difficulty in coming Co an ami
cable agreement that win be satisfactory to
all concerned. The resolutions will doubt
less indorse partly the Sherman bin and de
clare for free coinage in case an agreement
is reached by an internal bimetallic confer
ence upon ratio OF the two metals and free
coinage becomes the policy OF the CONNER
| cial nations Until that time the question
of free coinage can be safey postponed, and
I when that agreement is reached, the east
ern part of the country viii have no objec-
ton to make to the coinage OF AL the metal
that can be produced"
There has been considerable speculation
as 20 the attitude OF ex-senator Warner
Miller and his friends in the New York del
/ egations. He says: 81 have found that a
large majority OF the New York delegates
are decidedly in favor Of Mr. Blaine as rep
resenting their constituents / accept TINT
as the views of the Republicans OF the state
Of New York and ! shall support Mr.. Blaine
in the convention
Senator Quay says; Governor Foraker
will fairly and squarely put Mr.. Blaine be-
fore the convention. How do / feel about
III just the same as I have always felt
haven't the slightest doubt of his nomina.
tion. No, / do not care to give out figures n
Dick Quay, the senator's son. was quite en-
phatic in his declaration. "There is nothing
that can beat Blaine now-we've got ein
sure" was his way of putting it.
What silver Men VIII Ask.

to stand together in this convention. II

the adoption Of a liberal financial plank n
the platform In the next place, we shsl
exert ourselves TO secure the nomination o
Blaine. We do not want candidate TO
president to howl for free silver; we will d
enough Of that But we want prosiden
who will sign a free coinage bin if ON
