committee.
ALL TO WORK TOGETHER.
e. EIlery Anderson indicated to-day that
the organization perfected by the Syracuse
convention would, instead of attempting to
suppiant the regular democratic machinery @,
act as an auxiliary in the coming New York
sSste campaign. He said he had no fear OF
any strife on that point. w. A. Beach ex-
pressed similar views, and added that it
would be folly not to continue the Syracuse
committee as active forces He thought
taey could work In entire harmony with
Vne regular state organization.
THE TARIFF PLANK.
The change made In the platform in the
convention on the subject OF the tariff has
created great degree Of interest and given
Importance to the work of the committee.
Inc committee was certainly one Of the
strongest ever appointed in a democr attic
convention, Ii was composed of such men
or distinction and experience as Senators
Villas, MCPHERSON and Daniel, ex-Secretary
Bayard, Lawrence Neal of Ohio, ex-Con-
gresham Atkins Of Tennessee, Gov. Flower
Z. h. Jones, editor of the st. Louis ke-
Y
Baker, editor of the st. Paul Globe; Speaker
Crafts of Illinois, and Charles L. Jewett,
chairman OF the Indiana state committee.
In appointing the subcommittee, Col. Jones
the chairman endeavored to represent all
the important interests, while securing
recognized ability. Even the geographical
claims were recognized. The subcommittee
was composed as follows: Charles II. Jones
OF Missouri, William +. Villas of Wisconsin,
J. W. Daniel Of Virginia, Charles l. Jewett
OF Indiana, John E. Russell of Massa-
chusetts. Thomas f. Bayard of Delaware,
Thomas s. Thompson of California, J. r.
Mcpherson of New Jersey, J. ID. G. Atkins
of Tennessee, Thomas NJ. Patterson of
Colorado aud L. F. Garrard of Georgia.
ALL SHADES OF OPINION REPRESENTED.
1t will be seen from this list that all shades
OF opinion were represented. Mr.. Garrard
OF Georgia, an alliance democrat, and Mr..
Patterson Of Colorado. an able ad vocate of
free silver, were placed on it IN order that
their views might have a hearing. 1t is
known that it bad l majority for free
silver coinage, but this majority yielded to
discussion.
THE FIGHT IN THE OoMMITTEE.
The great fight iu the committee was
over the tariff reform plank and the silver
plank About five hours in all was given
to the former and six or seven hours to the
latter. These two plAnks, as finally re-
ported, were different from those originally
drafted the former Totally, the latter not so
much. The facts relating to the tariff plank
have the deepest interest. The proposition
as originally written by Mr.. Jones and
submitted to the committee was as follows:
1--WE repeat the oft-iteraDed demand Of the
Democratic party that custom house tax
alton shall be for revenue only. Recogniz-
Ing in the existing tariff tax that falls with
crushing force upon the farmers and work.
ingmen and which exacts from labor more
than its just share of the expenses of the
government, we demand such revision as
will remove its iniquitous inequalities.
tighten it's oppregsiveness and place it
upon the constitutional and equitable
basis OF tax levied for revenue only on
articles of luxury instead Of on articles of
necessity" Upon this. Chairman Jones
planted himself and resisted with great per-
tinaoity and ability the adoption of the
plank which was finally reported.
JONES SATISFIED.
1t is learned from a member of the COM
mittee that Mr.. Jones predicted the defeat
of the plank of the majority, and when
that was accomplished In the convention by
a decisive vote he said he liked it much
better in its present shape than as
reported and that he was glad the Missouri
delegation voted for the substitute. And it
is certain that many others who were ready
to accept the committee report are pleased
that the issue for a tariff for revenue only
is squarely made. When presenting the
report Chairman Jones gave notice that he
would move the previous question, motion
usual in all conventions. but which some
Uniformed people construed to mean a de-
termination on the part of the Cleveland
people to cut off debate. Opportunity
came with the presentation Of the
minority report of Messrs. Neal and Patter-
son. The former, backed by Henry Wat
terson, won a notable victory, but his sue
cess made the leaders pause, and the door
was closed against free silver plank.
Many are speculating as to what might have
been MIR. Watterson's success, with the help
of the south. II he had got the floor before
Mr.. Neal.
The following have been selected as men,
bers of the democratic national committee:
California-M. F. Tarpey.
Wyoming-W. L. Kuykendsll.
Indian Territory-E. n. Allen.
The name Of the South Dakota represen-
tative has not been handedin.
CLEVELAND GOING TO NEW YORK.
BUzzARD's BAY, MASS, June 24-It has
been learned that Mr.. Clevelands present in
tention is to remain at Gray Gables all sum-
mer but he will go to New York to reoeive
the committee appointed to notify him of
his nomination. This, 1t is understood, was
determined on. because 1t is customary for
the presidential nominee to receive the
committee on notification at his residence,
and not elsewhere, and Mr.. Cleveland's
residence is in New York city,
