POINTS OF THE PLArFROM
Also an Analysis of the Component Parts
of the Gathering.

AAsO Oh the component
of the Gathering.
The platform adopted refers pure
ly national questions to the national
convention, and devotes itself entire
~. to state matters, charging that the
political trust in charge of state af-
fairs has grown arrogant. reckless and
corrupt" and promising that Demo-
cratic administration will restore
government by the people" The Ohio
delegation to st. Louis is instructed
to cast its vote as unit for the man
preferred by the majority. No one is
Endorsed for president or vice presi-
dent. A 2-cent railway fare resolu-
ton was made a part of the plat
form.
There were three presidential ele-
ments involved. The Hearst men orig
inally wanted instructions, but finally
limited their opposition to the unit
rule. The friends of Colonel James
kilbourne, of Columbus, who was the
Democratic candidate for governor
three years ago, wanted Endorse
ment." The friends of Judge Judson
Harmon, of Cincinnati, who was attor-
ney general under Cleveland, wanted
neither Endorsement nor instructions,
but the unit rule. The Harmon men
won out.
Harmon men limited their efforts to
avoiding either instructions or indorse-
ment, and making sure of the unit
rule, under which Hearst will get no
votes from Ohio. although he has car
ried at least three districts. The four
delegates in Mayor Johnson's two
home districts are also tiled up" and
his former lieutenant, Charles p.
Salem, is delegate-at-large, while
Mayor Johnson himself and John III.
Clark, the candidate against Hanna
last year, are district delegates. One
of the leaders in 1.-THE combine that
brought about these results was Har-
Ian Cleveland, of Cincinnati, a cousin
OF Grover Cleveland.
The delegates and MISUNDERSTANDING
are claimed by the conservatives, who
also claim thirty of the Ohio district
delegates. Their poll of the Ohio dele
cation to st. Louis is thirty-six conser-
natives Friendly to Harmony, Hearst
six and Folk four.
Alabama for Parker.
Montgomery, Ala, May &c. = The
Democratic state convention was held
in Montgomery and dispatched its
work in few hours. While no in
structi0ns were given the resolutions
adopted recited that at the present
time Judge Alton B. Parker is the
most available and acceptable candi-
date for the nomination for the presi-
dency and that the sentiment of the
convention is for his nomination. The
unit rule was put in force. The salient
feature of the platform is opposition
to imperialism" and the methods Of
the present chief executive
in arrogating to himself legislative
| functions"

Japs Said to Have Taken Kin-Chou.
London, May 27.-If there is not
hot fighting going on near Port Arthur
rumor is very persistent over nothing
Reports, not confirmed, however, are
full of fight. The Central News cor
respondent at Toxic telegraphs that n
battle has been fought at Nanqwan-
ling in which the Japs defeated the
Russians, Wednesday, and of still
more Importance, if true, it is reported
that the Japs have stormed and capt
ured Kin-Chou. The fighting is stated
to have lasted all day and been of the
most desperate character. At Chefoo
there is rumor current that the jap
anese army is within ten miles of
Port Arthur.
Hard Fighting for Eight Days.
On the other hand the Toxic cor
respondent of The Chronicle, under
date of May &c. cables: Around Kin
Chou the Japanese have been fighting
stubbornly for the past eight days,
but are making little progress against
the Russians, who occupy strong po-
sitions on the heights. The Japanese
have already constructed thirty miles
of light railway for the transportation
of siege guns towards Port Arthur"
st. Petersburg Doesn't Know.
st. Petersburg. May 27.-The gen.
eral staff is not in a position to con-
firm or deny the Toxic report that the
Japanese have occupied Kin-Chou. 1t
would be a great surprise to the au-
thorities here if the report of the capt
ure of Kin-Chou should prove to be
true. The opinion of the best authOri-
ties is that if the Japanese rushed
Kin-Chou by frontal attack, unsup-
ported by heavy guns, which it is not
believed they possess, the capture of
the place must have been effected at
tremendous loss to the attackers.

London, May 2S.--A dispatch to the
Central News from Hardin says the

patch. Fighting, it is added, is still
going on in the vicinity of Kin-Chow.
