which was attributed IN great measure &c
the absence of a brass hand which the To
cal committee had unfortunately not pro
vidod led many TO believe that there would
be no friction In the two dnvs session OF
tho convention. This is proved 10 be but a
fallaoy, for the session Of tho committee
on resolutions was as lively one as has
occurred at any convention during the
year. The suggestions for platform pre-
sented were of "a most varied and radical
nature The committee itself IS about
evenly divided upon the financial quos

much friction as has tho adoption of some
other proposed planks. Those OF the com
mittee who are favorable to Mr. Hill are
working strenuously TO prevent the adop
ton OF a plank favoring an income tax.
The labor and socialistic suggestions are
also creating great deal Of thought.
