| them to antagonize either Mr.. Norris or
any one else for national committeeman or
that will pledge them to the support of any
| particular gentleman who has aspirations
| toward the position. While it is now more
confidently believed than ever that the six
| candidates originally named on the
straight OUT ticket, and who are Messrs.
| Holmead. Boyle Morgan, Jordan, Mating
| ly and Forest, will have the support Of
substantial majority of the local con-
ventson, it Is not believed that the en-
| tire program outlined by these gentlemen
| Will be followed. and the expectations are
that very lively convention will be held.
| with many exciting features.
No Instructions to the Delegates.
The gossip that has been going on for
several days about the probable attempt to
get the local convention on Thursday to in
| struct the delegates sent to Chicago in
| favor Of some particular man for the Ba-
| tional committee of the party is not credit
| ed among the managers of the campaign in
| behalf Of the "straight-out' ticket, and 1t
can be pretty definitely stated that any eff
| fort to interject the question Of who or who
| shall not be the national committee into
| the deliberations of the meeting at the
Academy Of Music will be summarily pre-
vented.
| The convention will proceed in the same
manner as other bodies of its character.
! 1t viii! be called to order by Chairman Hol-
mead. and committees will be appointed On
credentials and permanent organization. A
| snort recess will be taken for the purpose
of allowing these bodies to report, and after
the permanent organization is established
| the committee on the resolutions will be APP
pointed.
| All resolutions introduced during the
convention which bear upon matters of
party policy, and which can be included
| In the platform, will he referred to this
| committee. but motions regarding irstruc-
lions to the delegates to Chicago, if such
| are offered, will be acted upon by the con-
| vention without reference. 1t is expected
the committee on resolutions will consist
OF hfteen members. and that the platform
reported will reiterate the well known prin-
c1ples of the democratic party, preserving
| the diplomatic attitude on the money cues
tion and reaflirming the principles Of free
| trade.
MIR. Cleveland and the A. II. A.
1t is expected that the adminst ration of
President Cleveland will be indorsed and
that his enumeration of the Monroe doc
trine in connection with tho Venezuelan
boundary question will be cordially ap-
proved.
1t is also thought that the platform will
contain a plank deploring the tendency
that Is Mt present apparent 10 interject re-
HSious questions into national politics to
the obscuring, as the resolutions will de-
clare, of the real issues that confront the
great parties.
| After the platform is adopted and the
delegates are elected a new central COM
mittee Will be formed. In the creation Of
! this body the three delegates from each as
sembly district will present the name of a
| democrat in such district to represent it on
| the central committee, and when all the
| districts have so expressed their prefer
| ences the chairman of the convention will
announce the central committee thus Sc
lected.
