1t seems to us that this laying of the
whole responsibility for the change in the
original draft of the platform upon Quigg
is calculated to make that gentleman an
altogether bigger man than he really Is.
If he is SO powerful as to be able to
dominate, not only a committee of resolu-
tions made up of a member from each
state, but also the whole convention, and
make them take platform that they did
not want, he would seem to be bigger
man than Hanna or Dick or Quay. These
papers are really contributing to Quigg
greatness, though that is not their inten-
tion. OF course the truth is that the!plat-
form was changed by the committee on
resolutions, Of which Quigg was only
one, and not the most prominent one by
any means. 1t was clearly within their
right to make the changes they made,
and any others they saw fit. Nobody
could have rightly complained If they
had thrown away every word Of the plat
form submitted TO them and written
an entirely new one. 1t is the business
of the committee on resolutions to report
a platform to the convention, and what
kind of platform they shall report is
also their business to decide. The con-
yention may adopt it as reported,
may amend it, or may reject it entirely
and order the construction of another.
In this case the convention without
dissenting voice adopted the platform
reported by the convention. no say that
they were tricked by Quigg is to say that
all the men who made up the committee
on resolutions and all the membe rs of the
convention were little moro than numb
skulls. Whether the resol utions as origi-
nally prepared by the Philadelphia editor
We're superior or inferior TO the resolutions
as adopted by the convention is a ques-
ton on which persons might differ.
Probably the extreme lingo would prefer
the original resolutions; while the more
conservative Will find the amended
platform more acceptable. AS the con-
Vention adopted the latter it becomes the
official expression Of the party S principles
and policies and nobody has any author
ity to change it. 1t can only be altered
by another convention of equal authority.
The controversy over the question is
therefore both unwise and Improbable.

The news from China yesterday was
very meager. Indeed there was abso-
lutely nothing reliable. A London paper
published story to the effect that two
more ambassadors had been murdered,
but there was no confederation of it from
any. source. There are grave fears that
the foreigners imprisoned in the legations
at Pekin are in serious straits, but little
can be done Immediately for their RELIEF
There are not yet troops enough gathered
at Tientsin to make a successful expo
dition.

The movement to make Hill vice presi-
dent seems to have declined along with
the movement to side track the silver
issue. 1t was natural, indeed, almost in
ev1table, that it should. 1t would IN
volve altogether too pronounced an in
congruity to put a free silver apostle at
the head of the ticket, adopt free silver
resolutions and then attach a gold bug.
With the decline of the Hill boom there
comes of course an acceleration Of the
boom of the candidates who are believers
in free silver. Towne's chances are un-
doubtedly made better. Indeed, wereSit
not for feeling that the nomination OF
the entire Populist ticket would in
volve some neutrality-suspicious. would
almost certainly get the nomination. AS
it is, his chances appear to be better
than those OF any other candidate in
sight.
