Ou a Motion U6 refer the message and bill to the committee on pensions Mr. Blair remarked that these veto messages were uniformly unjust, and That they might as well be discussed at once, as they are never reported back.

He called on the democrats to vote honestly upon the amend- ment, A vote agalust 11 meant iree trade, for Shingles were an article of manufacture, The amendment Was rejected without a division. With little delay and almost no debate on the part of the democrats, the remaining paragraphs of the lumber sections—“clapboatds, pine, or spruce,” and “logs”—were passed over down to tue provision beginning on line 22: that existing duties shall be jevied upon the articles on the lum- ber schedules where export duties are imposed by the country from which they are Imported.

Special Dispatch to Tae EVENIX Stan, St. Louis, June 6.—St. Louis summer weather has succeeded the delightful vemperature of last Week, and all the thousands assembled in Conven- tion Hali are vigorously manipulating fans, Warm Weather increases the desire for adjournment, and anxious Inquiries are being constantly made as to the chances of an early report from the platform committee. ‘The hour of adjournment now de- pends upon that committee. In order to facilitate matters and hasten adjournment many are urgin; that nominations for Presidenv nod ViseePresiden be made before the recelpt and adoption of the platform, ——_.___ THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE. All Interest Centering in the Contest Between Reformers and Conserva- tives, Special Dispatch to Tae Evenrxa STAR, St. Lovis, June 6—All interest naturally centers in the resolutions committee, where the contest over the tariff question is being fought. Con- trary to the expectation of able leaders Watter- son defeated Senator Gorman for chairman. This Tesult seems to have been brought about by the rather sudden change of members of the resolu- tions committee by several delegations, and the absence of several Gorman supporters when the committee organized. As strange as it may ap- pear, Representative Scott, of Pennsylvania, 18 co- operating With Senator Gorman in this matter. In conversation with Tue Sra correspondent Senator Gorman said that he and Scott _are labor- ing for a tariff declaration which they feel sure will meet the Presidents approval; that 18 plank based upon the President’s message and declaiing that ‘tariff reform 1s neces. sary, but that it must be accomplished with! careful regard to the labor and industrtal in- terests, and that taxation must be reduced to @ basis necessary for the support of the Government economically administered; also declaring for fur- ther cheapening of the necessities of life by reduc- tion of the tariff. Henry Watterson and hiscrowd Says this does hot gofar enough; that 11s not emphatic and distinct enough, and that the party must face this one issue and make its fight squarely or suffer an iznominious defeat. Very few even suggest an Indorsement of the Milis bili, though Waticrson will endeavor to have a resolu- Uon adopted approving the efforts made by the democrats in the House of Representatives in be- half of tariff reform. This will meet with stubborn opposition. No Agreement Likely To-day. The indications at noon are that the reso- lutions committee will not be ready to report before evening, if then. Chairman Barnum, of the national committee, said to you corrrespon- dent this morning that he gid not believe the committee could get through to-day. He had been conterring with the members of the commit- tee to ascertain what progress was made and when the report would be ready. Representative Scott also says the committee will not get through to- day. Notwithstanding Senator Gorman was de- feated for chairman of the committee, he has suc- ceeded in carrying a majority of the subcommit- tee of eleven which was appointed to prepare the platform. On a question of tari squarely pre- senting the two opposing ideas in the subcommit- tee, Senator Gorman, including himself, had six votes to tive for Watterson’s side. ‘This result was @ sore disappointment to Watterson, who Telt- erates his threat to carry the Nght into the con- vention if deieated In the commitiee. SCOTT WORKING FOR GORMAN. Scott has been very active in supporting Gor- man as agafnst Watterson, and he said this morn- ing he was going on the committee on resolutions in place of Mutchier, appointed yesterday, in order that he may more effectually aid in the Adoption of what he believed to be a safeand proper platform. “He and Gorman assert that they want 3 emphatic a tariff declaration as Watter- son, but they desire phraseology less Mable to mis- construction. It is now admitted by members of the subcommittee that an earnest and heated struggle is unavoidable, but the leaders hope to confine the controversy to the committee and avoid carrying it to tbe convention. The tmport- ance of harmony is belng presented to Watterson, Dut he 1s not this moraing in a barmonizing humor. ‘The party, leaders Nope to reach some compromise on the tariff, but this will require con- siderable ume and talk. ‘The delegations from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut have exerted great influence in'pro- ducing a spirit of caution with regard to the tari. ‘They have appealed to the membérs of the resolu- tions committee to avold any declarations in the platform calculated to wlarm the laboring element in the manufactories, or that would warrant the republicans in charging free trade upon the party. DELEGATE GARDNER, OF WASHINGTON, member of the committee on resolutions, and also of the subcommittee to prepare a platform, says he believes in presenting the tariff issue squarely; that he would not countenance any- Uling sthacking of retreat or of straddling, buc ‘hat in Uhus presenting the issue care must be ex- ercised to avold throwing an element of discord into the doubtful states; that the vote of New York 1s necessary, and for the sake of high.sound- Ang phrases it muSt not be imperiled. In’ thus ex- pressing himself Mr. Gardner but reiterates the Jeeling of other delegates irom states favoring tariff relorin. NOT A TEST OF TARIFF SENTIMENT, Members of the resolutions committee say the vote for chairman yesterday was in no sense a test of the sentiment on the tariff, Lawrence Gardner says he voted for Gorman be- cause he likes him — personally, and re. gards him as a safe man to be in- trusted with party interests, but he made no promise, either express or otherwise, to Gorman on the tariff or any other question; that he 1s entirely free to exercise his own judgment on all subjects coming before the committee. ‘Day, member for Missourl, who also acted for Gormén, says substantially the same, Scott and Gorman’are placing their dependence on the sul committee, but Watterson cl that ons phe of the full committee are with him and ‘Sus- tain bis views.

AS the delegates come in there ts a good deal of talk about the efforts to be made by the silver men to have their views reflected in the platform, and a8 to tue chances of somo of thelr representa tives getting the floor an iclpating in a cussion upon this rather delicate question in the convention. LURKING RED BANDANAS. Inthe early hours of the morning, while the convention 1s gathering, but a single red bandana can be seen, and that hangs listlessly from one of the boxes occupied by the women suffragists, But there are thousands of pockets bulging out with Thurman banners ready vo be thrown to the convention breeze at the proper moment. The Gray men still hold on to their gray hats and gray muslin banners hung on to the end of their canes and umbrellas. Anda pretty decoration appears upon the oor of the hall, just” before, tue our for convening arrived.’ ‘This is a Aoral shield 4 feet hig! made of red and white P, A. Collins, and above the word “Massachusetts.” This handsome tribute to the coming permanent chairman of the convention is examined with interest, as it stands conspicuously elevated at the base of the platform. But there is no cheering, as on yesterday, as the delegates file in, not now tp delegations, as on the first day,but in little groups and pairs. The Ohio and New York delegates are Particular tardy in getting in, and there are groundless rumors in consequence that tuere is a Ritch ip the Thurman program, which includes a seconding, after his nomination by Tarpey, of ‘California, by Gen. Powell, of Ohio, THE FIRST APPLAUSE OF THE MORNING ts evoked by the appearance of a Thurman ban- dana placed upon the banner pole of the Wiscon- sin delegation, Atthis moment Temporary Chatr- man White appears upon the stage and consults with Chairman Barnum, of the national commit- tee, at which the applause increases in volume, DUC is short-lived and soon dies out, leaving the convention in the listless condition which has characterized it for an hour. The orchestra inthe West gallery enlivens the otherwise tedious gath- ering of the body with some excellent music, which occasionally, a8 it becomes familiar, pro- vokes a brief but resounding cheer. Ex-Attorney General Lewis Cassidy, of Philadel- phia, the chairinan of the committee on perma- nent organization, mounts the platform and whis- la earnestly into the ear of Chairman White,who Dandling the silver gavel, walting for the ‘con- Yention to gather. Mr, Cassidy is evidently kown to the convention, Which applauds him Teebly. At 10 o'clock not more than halt of the delegates have put in an appearance and none of the members of the platform committee have en- tered the hall, and the consultation Detween Chairmen White and Mr. Cassidy 1s a8 to the advisability of calling the con. vention to order before the committeemen arrive, ‘There 1s a disposition to go on With the permanent organization anyhow, in order to enabie the con- Vention to adjourn finally to-lay, about which ‘Uhere is now beginning to be some doubt. There 1s @ conspicuous absence of visiting clubs, who have either been disquleted at the refusal of the convention to give them the hall or are waiting until the last inoment to make a more effective and theatrical entrance, but before any of them appear the chairman has decided to call the body toorder without walting for the members of the platform committee. ‘The Convention Called to Order. At 10:22 the convention was called to order by the temporary chairman, Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. R. Green, of Missourl, who especially invoked the Divine blessing upon the members of the convention, wno had been intrusted by the People of the states of the Union with the per- formance of an important duty. ‘On motion of Mr. Prince, of Massachusetts, a res- olution Was adopted tendering the thanks of the convention to tie Colorado delegation for its gift Ofa silver gavel, ana directing that the same be placed in charge of the national committee for use at future democratic convenuions, Adopted.
