PLATFORM AGITATION.
To-day promises TO be- one OF platform
agitation. Tue thTee.cufnered u.bt
has drawn the lines sharply. The men
from tue East demanding gold Ia the
platform are very determined. Lodge,
Plat ani other opponents OF Mckinley
seem to feel they are placing Mckin.
ley In hole by insisting that an en-.
phatio gold declaration 10 made. Their
pros ram II TO force tlght la the COM
mitiee GU resolutions, and u they can

manager, IL 10 lead the tishl TOR n gold

no anu the other Reed men have falu
hope that the refusal 10 put gold In
the platform will sOlldiiy tho gold vote
on X cd. But the fact that 10 many
Mckinley men arc for gold gives rise
10 tue hope that the gold men may be-
Huoootsiul. IL has been the effort OF the
friends Of Mckinley 60 avoid n fight
In the convention between the factions
fAvoring n single standard and against
a free coinage. There has been a drift
towards moderate expression Ia favor
OF gold and there Is quite n presluTe
from several states Tor declaration
against fIoo coinage and not TO have
The word gold used Ia the platform nj
all. Lodge, who has drafted a gold
declaration sud secured Its endorse,
ment by representatives OF n numbor
OF states, has been pressing his plank
with n great deal OF poristency and
Initiated some who would prefer n
mildor declaration. Gen. GTOsysnof
