Lively Row Over the Piatfornp Results In the

speeIai to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO. June 22-The most interesting
point of the convention was sprung upon
It unexpectedly. Though il was known
that the platform committee was having q
hard time, the general eupposition was that
il had been wrangling over the silver strad-
ole. Thus when the tariff backdown OF tho
majority report was followed by Larry"
ONears terse and blunt declaration for
free trade there was something of o sensa-
tion. And the interest grew tenfold when
Henry Watterson took the platform to de-
nounce the "cowardiy" plank OF the ma
jOrity and made it n personal matter. When
no got through 1t was difficult to see how
the plank was to be defended. Clearly the
audience was with him. Yet when Villas
''pnlled the records" upon him. and showed
that he had once before spoken in behalf
OF this very plank, he turned q hearty
Iangh upon the 'Star-eyed Goddess" Villas
made very able speech, but Mr.. Jones
and his whiskers tlattened 1t out when he
withdrew the original plank and accepted
the amendment. But the free traders were
ceeded In getting the eyes of the Chair and
made from the platform a short, emphatic
speech. 1t twas the first time the street-car
magnate bad ever addressed so great all
assembly. but he seemed perfectly at home.
His mapner was as self-possessed, as blunt
and as forciblo as his words. and he made
a distinctly favorable impression. He
was loudly cheered and heartily congratu-
lated as he left the platform.
Mr.. ONeal demanded a roll call upon his
amendment and it proceeded, after some
minutes of confusion. When Pennsyl-
vania was reached lively coll0quy took
place between Chairman Harrity who. un-
der tho unit rule, cast the sixty-fo votes
of the State IN the negative, and Senator
Wallace who. with fourteen Others vainly
insisted upon voting for the amendment.
Indiana, as usual, was the first State to
straddle heQuestlon. Indiana's Democratic
! delegations accustomed to this
method OF settling great issues that any
other course would bavo been looked upon
as o distinct departure. Think of Indiana
Democrats having an opinion IN a live
issue. Bnt two other States straddled tho
question. Louisiana and Virginia. and the
iatter was not fully represented. The
adoption OF the free-trade amendment by a
vote of 564 to S42 was received with tre-
mendous cheering. Henry Watterson and
| Tom Johnson were wild with delgh
There were many misgivings expressed,
both on the floor and among the audience.
but tho word has been spoken and the
Democratic party is squarely on record for

but not quite half the delegates on the

Then, to make the thing little bit ridic-
ulous. BOies banner was brought in by
an Iowa enthusiast and carried about in
the wake of the Cleveland picture. The
two banners were lugged about the hall
and waved this way and that renewing the
dropping applause, and the banner r-bearers
had o pretty hard time of it. It was

began until order was com pletely restored,

"No, no." compelling him to halt and wait
for restoration of order. Again, when he
said, "In addition TO the vote OF every

wAITERsON's VICTORY.

1t Was Due to the Kentucky Editor That
FREQ Trade Was Endorsed
CHICAGO. June 22.-Greater in adversity
than IN victory was Henry Watterson. the
distin guished Democratic leader, who
marched TO the platform the indomit-
able exponent of the proudest prin-
ciple OF tariff reform and assailed
the committee on resolutions so success
fully that he carried the convention by
storm and succeeded in defeating the ma
lority report and adopting the minority pre-
sented by Hon. Lawrence L. Neal, of Ohio.
The latter uDeQnivocally disputed the
constitutional right of Congress to
impose tariff duties IN excess
of the actual revenue necessities
of the governments. The mutations of poll
tics will never better be exemplifed than

question. Arrayed side by side with Henry
Watterson. and solidly In favor of
plank tersely declaring against all pro-
lection to American Industries, were
the seventy-two votes Of the Empire
State and the twenty-six votes of Iowa In
the short but decisive debate Watterson
proved more than . match tor the great
Wisconsin Senator, for he answered all the
latter's quotations of past Democratic
platforms by simply asserting that It was
the duty of the Democratic party to be al
ways advancing. and that the tariff decla-
rations of eight years ago were no longer
sufficient to satisfy the masses who were
now clamOring against the tariff robbery.
Once more. too, Henry Watterson proved,
despite all the quibbles of recent State
convention, that he is still tho uncrowned
monarch of the Bluegrass State. Every
admirer of the great Kentucky leader-and
they number thousands on the floor and In
