AT WORK ON THE PLATFORM.
Some of the Planks That Are Before thu
Resolutions Committee.

Some Of the Planks That Are Before the
Resolutions Committee.
The committee on resolutions. of which
William II. Villas is chairman. was in SEES
sion for nearly an hour and half yester.
day, and in that time it was deve,oped
that there is ii wide disagreement between
the members of the committee as to the
form the declaration of principles should
take. The matter was discussed at great
length, and from twenty five to thirty
drafts of platforms and portions of plat
forms were submitted. The sentiment
and majority for Il declaration for the sin
gle gold standard was rather surprising
to those who hoped that something might
be done favoring bimetallism under an
internati nal agreement.
No opposition to the retirement of the
grcenbacks was developed. and it is gen.
orally believed that declaration of that
kind will be incorporated. 1t is under
Stood however, that the financial plank
drawn by Secretary Carlisle is before the
committee on resolutions and declares dis
tinct for single gold standard and
makes no apology whatever for the bond
issues. There is no question about the
adoption of plank indorsing the admin
guagc will be limited only by desire for
good taste in the expression of approval
There has been some suggestion that
a resolution condemning the Chicago
convention both as to nominees and
platform should be Incorporated in the
platform of this convention, but there
are others who think it can he express
ed in denunCiatory resolution of an
archisu and the attempt in certai in
sections to oppose the law and its en-
forcement.
1t was finally determined to refer the
matter to a subcommittee of seven
which. for various reasons, was in
creased to ten, and when completed
was as follows: William F. Villas: C.
Vey Holman. of Maine: c. p. Lewis. of
New Jersey: V. P. Klein. of Ohio:
James II. Eckels; Edward Cooper. of
Tennessee; T. q. Jones. of Alabama;
]. =. Irish. of California: H. w. Lamb.
OF Massachusetts. and Albert Watkins,
of Nebraska.

ITS MOST IMPORTANT TRANSACTION.

Proposition Adopted That This New Or
ganization BE Permanent.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the convention was the adoption
of recommendation to make the organi-
cation permanent and to empower the M
tional committee appointed to call future
conventions. This indicates a contest four
years from now over the regularity Of the
two organizations, and may prove far
reaching n its effects. The platform will
be adopted and the candidates nominated
today. Last night the great mass meet
ing took p ace while one set of leaders was
at work framing the platform and another
trying TO fix upon a candidate.
There seems to be an almost unanimous
sentiment in favor of General Buckner,
OF Kentucky, for vice president. but the
contest for president is still open. AL
though General Bragg has been seeming
~ in the lead powerful influences are at
work to defeat him. His reception in the
convention WIS disappointment to his
friends 1t was not as enthusiastic as
as they thought it should be. A strong
Effort is being made to bring out 5 nator
Palmer or General John c. Black, of Illi-
nois, and Secretary Morton, of Nebraka,
and David Lawlor, of Minnesota, are en-
joying incipient booms.
Senator Palmer does not desire the
nomination. Were General Bragg not
in the way Senator Villas might be
named. but he absolutely refuses to
consider the question as long as Gen
eral Bragg is in the field. Watterson's
boom does not grow.
The Illinois delegation held a meeting
last night and decided to present the
name of Senator Palmer for president
IL the senator would allow this action
to be taken. In case of his refusal. it
was determined to place General John
c. Black in nomination. To a commit
tee Senator Palmer said that he had
been out Of the field and it was thor
oughly understood that he was not a
candidate, and he did not want to take
the nomination and felt it was not the
hest thing to do. He was asked to con-
slider the matter over night and let the
delegation know in the morning the re-
suit. This was agreed to.
Late last night the cry appeared to be
"anything to beat Rragg" Bat the oppo-
sition was having difficulty in selecting a
candidate. II the Bragg opposition can

the band was located, were comfortably
well filed without being crowded. while
the chairs in the rear of the platform re.
served for tho distinguished guests were
nearly all occupied.
Gold wrraths We're Everywhere.
The decorations were brilliant and Law.
ish. There was profusion Of flags and
bunting, trailing smilax, Spanish moss
and pottcd flowers, but the most noticea-
BILE feature was the prevalence of gilt,
symbolical Of the spirit Of the convention.
Gold wrcnths were everywhere in the
decorations and half the delegates wore
sprays Of golden rod in the lapels Of their
coats. There was an unusually. large
number Of. ladies in the galleries and in
the chairs back of the stage, their bright
gowns and hats frightening the general
effect Of the scene. Most of them were
from q distance, but some of the promi-
ncnt ladies Of indianapolis were present.
Mrs. Mcdonald, the daughter of the late
Vice President Hendricks, was especially
conspicuous.
Conspicuous Men as Delegates.
Then the delegates themselves were
an imposing body of men. Among
them were many who have for years
been prominent in national affairs and
the counsels of the Democratic party.
Not few were delegates to the Chi
caeo convention, several as chairmen of
delegations. who returned here in the
same capacity. except that whereas
they were Missed there for declining to
participate In the proceedings, their an
pearance here was the signal for out
bursts OF enthusiasm. The big New
YORK delegation of seventy-two men,
bers perhaps attracted the most atten-
tion. In II were such conspicuous men
as Governor Flower. the temporary
chairman of the conventions; ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Fairchild. ex-Min-
lister to Turkey Straus. General Tracy.
Colonel John X. Fellows. Perry II. Bel
mont and others.
Enthusiasm Was Abundant.
There was plenty Of enthusiasm, and
demonstrations were numerous The
delegates cheered Mt the sight of promi-
nent men. in fact mt everything and anv.
thing. The whats the matter man
was there and kept them busy Every
reference to Cleveland was the signal for
q scene during which men cheered and
waved whatever they could get their
hands on. Miniature flags found their
way out OF mysterious recesses and were
wildly waved on every occasion. The con.
vention held two recesses, but got no fur
ther than ehecting the permanent organ
