The committee then escorted Mr.. Grant
to Iammany Hall, whore he was received
with tremendous applause. 1t was an
nounced that new platform had been
prepared expressly for Mr.. Grant. The
new platform attacks first the apportion-

amendment, and says Democrats must
nght against SO unjust a division of dis
trict representation. The sherman silver
bill is held responsible for the recent hard
times, and the platform also character
ICES the A. 2. A. as a foul institution, the
intent of which is to divide parties and
