THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JUNE v 1888, liberately adopted. When you nominate your vice president yoa cannot hold this con Yention, We have violated the ordinary rules of proceedings in the interest of senti- ment. Let us go no farther, Let us adjourn until to-morrow morning and settle the plat- form calmly, deliberately and in accord- ance with Grover Clevelaud's views. Mr. Throckmorton of Texas—If Grover Cleveland can be nominated without a plat- form, Allen G, Thurman can be nominated without a platform. The clerk proceeded with the roll eall amid confugion, and Mr. English of Califor nia made a motlon to dispense with the roll call. Mr, Tarpy of California moved that the roll call be dispensed with and that the chair declare the body adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. The chair put the motion and declared the convention adjourned. - THE PLATFORM. A Night Session Without Accompiish- ing Anything. 8. Lovis, June 6.—The committee on res. lutions had a very long and at times, stormy session last night and did not adjourn until 2:30 this morning. All sorts of rumors, re- garding the action of the committee were floating about the corridors of the Southern but mnone of them could be authentically located. The Republic reporter, however, finally found Jeorge L Yaple, ex-congressman and mem- ber of the committee from Michigan, who, after a good deal of urging, made the follow- ing statement: *‘Notwithstanding the faet that numerous important_papers all over the country have announced to the contrary, I think I can safely say without violation of ennfidence that not. only the rosident’'s message, but also the en- ire Mills bill also will = be unqualifiedly endorsed by the committee.” Tt was 1 o'clock this morning when Gorman, in the sub-committee on plat- form, addressed the committeo relating 10 the tarift plank, advocating substantially the reiteration of a reverse reduction clause on the platform of 1884, and favoring redu tion by internal revenuo taxation. Watterson replied, appealing o for explicit enunciation of the party’s position on the tariff, upon which it couid goto the polls free from the stigma of an attempt to straddle this great issuc which, ne said, had been fustly charged to the platform of 1584, On motion_of Senator Gorman, without action the sub-committee, at 2 a. m. adjourned to 8:30 o'clock. "The committee on resolutions resumed its session at 10 o'clock this morning. The sub- committeo appointed to draft a platform ¢ tered soon afterwards and reported their in- ability to agree, the point at issue being the question of reafirming the tariff plank in the platform of 1884, Gorman opposed reaffirma- ion of the tariff plank of 1834 and a general endorsement of the policy of reduction as in- dicated in the president’s tariff message. Watterson opposed any allusion to the plat- form which he deemed equivocal and indi- rect, Gorman addressed the committee for an hour. While he considered the prospects of democratic —success in New York much better than they were four years ago he regarded Indiana, New Jerscy and Connecticut as doubtful, und he would have no hope of his party carrying them upon a tariff for revenue ouly platform. He argued that the platform of 1854 was the one upon which Mr. Cleveland was elected, that he accepted the momination and has been content to administer the executive ofice in accordance with its principles. Watterson responded in a long address. “The platform of four years ago,” he said, was a straddle and so accepted by the com- mittee on resolutions in the convention of 1884, The issue of that eclection,” said Watterson, “did not prove the wisdom of an equivocal policy. It was nota policy pleas- ing to our pcculiar manhood. It was a straddle and there was an odium attached to it from which it could not be freed. The campaign, fortunately for the democratic party by the nomination of Mr. Blaine, had become oneof personalities and Mr. Cleveland was elected. The result did not prove the strength of the platform and did not justify the faith of the advocates of a straddling policy. 1t would,” he thought. “‘be wise to take an aggressive stand, as the democratic party had been irre- wocably committed to the poliey of horizontal -eduction by Cleveland's last message and by he utterances of a majority of the democratic party in the house of representatives. Our ‘position is clearly announc t is known to our opponents end the people.” He believed, morcover, that the bold, manly tone of land’s message had a very happy effect. “The utmost candor of ‘expression charac- terized the remarks of both Watterson and Gorman, and perfect good feeling was main- tained thronghout. But it was soon cvident that their relative positions on the points at issue would be maintained, and it became quite clear that a majority of the committeo had been impressed with Gorman’s candid statement of the political expediency in- volved. + At noon general debate was begun upon the question of reaflirming the platform of 1884, ten minutes to be allowed cach st and vote to be had The debute, however, was prolonged until three o'cloc By a vote of = 2 the committee agr to Senator Gorman's proposition to endorse and reiterate the tariff platform of 1854, Ttis understood there will be no serious div apon the other planks in the platform, T committee reassembled to-night at 7 o'cl for consideration of the platform in sectic As the evening session of the committee resolutions was about to be begun, it stated there was to be an additional raph added to the reaffirmation of the 1834 E.rm planlk, explaining more fully its scope mnd relieving it of that ambiguity which Watterson had characterised as a straddle, nd making it conform to the principles us nunciated in the president’s messuge. Gor- an and Scott had just held long a confer- nce upon this subject and t was stated that _ additional ight was received today fron Washington. SECOND PI.J\VCH GOSSIP, Chairman Barnum Favors Don 3 Dickinson of Michigan. S, Louis, June 6,—The Republic will priat the following to-morrow; “Chairman W. H. Barnum was in a very benign and kative mood yesterday, He said, ‘My oice is Don M. Dickinson for vice-presi- fent. He is by far the brightest man in the pabinet, It is probably too late to do any- thing towards nominating him, but I wish it might be done both for the good of the American people and the mefit of the dewocratic party. n my opinion it's not good polioy nor for the v interests of our party and country that pither Thurman or Gray should be nomi- ated.

HOMELE: 8 TAMMANY, Bympathy For the New Yorkers in the Loss of Their Hall, Sr. Louts, June 6.—The news of the burn- g of Tamumany hall spread like wild fire hroughout the city and was the uriversal pie of conversation, entirely suspending for ghe time all discussion of the political situa- ion. It was evident that in spite of the tility felt by many toward the Tammany mization that its misfortue called forth eueral sympathy and that the de: ction of he well known beadquarters occasioned uni- eral regret. it vt A COLORED LEAGUE.

Lours, June 6.—Qovernor Gray's friends have displayed some of the spirit of the Grant 806 in 1850 and have been fighting with great persistence. They have been doing everything, hoping to create @ change in sentiment before the balloting for vice president occurs. Itis well known that the matter h been forced to issue. This afternoon Gray's name would not have been presented. The efforts of the Indianians to make it ap- pear that an adjournment was a Gray victory were only partly successful, but they at once procoeded 1o mako the most of it. Promptly sonding their mon out through the hotels, they claimed the unexpected delay of two honrs was a victory for the opposition, and that the state would yet be broken. They rencwed their visits 1o other delogation and reported their now well worn argumen of Carlislo or some other new candidate. They sent theit workers and shouters through the streots hurrahing for Gray. mpathy was felt by the Thurman's me known that another meeting of the Ohio delegation was called for this evening. A number of the Ohio delegates arc still opposed to Thurman's nomination and fears aro exprossed they would try to revoke the action by which Ohio had agreed to stand by the ex-senator. No such action was taken and tho matter’ was not brought up at all, although in case Thur should fail to receive the necossary two-thirds oa the first ballot, Ohio would probably be one of the first states to lead a break to some other candidate. WATTERSON SATISFIED, He Explains the Sub-Committec's Platform Compromise. Sr. Louis, June 6.—Referring to the de- tails of the piatform to be presented, Mr. Watterson said to-night: “The substance is this—that wo renew our fidelity to demo- cratic principles and reafirm the platformn of 1884 and endorse the last annual message of the president and declare it a correct inter- pretation of the platform, and ap rove the efforts of our demo- cratic representatives in congress to so- cure reduced taxation. In a scparate resolution to be offered to the convention to- morrow we commend the Mills bill, urging its passage at an carly day. My ideas origin- ally were opposed to any recurrence to the platform of 1884, and when that course was suggested opposed it, because it had been subjected to a double construction. Nover- theless the situation is this, that the platform of 1584, when coupled with 'the endorsement of President Cleveland’s message as the true interpretation, and a commendation of the Mills bill, mects my most hearty approval.’ CONVENTION NOTES. Gossip About State Delegates and Delegations. Mr. Watterson said this everything in the platform was agreed to except the preamble. Watterson wishes to endorse the president’s messsage and the platform of 1884, He says ho thinks the platform will be ready this afternoon, but expects a flght on it in the convention. ‘When Missouri was called continued cries for Vest were heard from the members of the convention, He did not respond. ‘T'here were cries for Fellows when New York was reached but he shook his head no. The adjournment was carried at the re. quest of the Indiuna aelegation that it might confer with Governor Gray by telegraph. Governor Gray's friends in the delegation say his name will probably be withdrawn, Mr. Watterson received the following tele from Congressman W. C. Brec : “Failure to endorse the hile biii may defeat it.” Twenty hours is the time ittook to prepare could be agreed upon for the campaign of 1883, The result is a reafiir- mation of the plank of 1884 as suggested by Senator Gorman, but, amended and amplified 80 us to suit Henry Watterson. ——— A DESPERATE HUSBAND. He Shoots His Wife and Then Blows Out His Own Brains. Eav Cramne, Wis., Juno 6.—[Spocial Tele- gram to Tue Bek]—The wife of George Herkimer of this city, proprictor of a knit goods factory, left her husband last Wednes- day and went to Fairchild, a village thirty miles from Eau Claire, taking her baby with her. She claimed her husband did not pro- vide for her and the child, and she took refuge with her sister, Mrs. Thompson, at Fairehild. - Herkimer, who remained he tili to-day, was observed to be in an_ excited condition® He left on the noon train for Fair- child.

NNATI, O, June 6.—[Special Tele- gram to Toe Bre]—The indicated in the for the week is 20 against 21,500 the preceding week and 23,000 forthe corresponding time last year. The total from March 1 is about 2,100,000 hogs, against 2,205,000 n yoar ago. At Chicago the re- ts sinco March 1 have been 175,000 greater than for the corresponding time last year, and the shipments 145,000 to 150,000 greater than last year. This increase is understood to be due more to the demand for fresh pro- duct than to enlargement in curing opera- tions. The per cent of hogs received was te during the week, closing with a re- of the decline, Some markets bring a little higher prices than a woek ago. The provision trade has been confined to an ordi- nary course of affairs, with perhaps some improvement n tho eall for meats for the south, If the stocks of lard ave correctly re- ported for this and last month, and the wove- ment for tho month correctly stated, they ware equivalent to 16,000 tiercos added to the lard supply.

The ball was then thrown to second base and the runner was declard out. He was not touched with the ball, T quostion is, did he not have @ right to retarn tofirst base after the batter was declared out ! If ) thr u will bo kind enough to answer this Tuk Bree or to we, you will gre oblige yours yery truly, J. 13 Foo Pho " base-runnier 15 not out under the cumstances mentioned. He had a perfect vight to veturn to first base, provided he could get there without being put out by ono of the opposing team. 1ut in au mstance of this kind he must be touched with the ball, unless the batsman mentioned had biva fly which was caught, in which caso the base runner could be declared out without being with the ball providing it was Will Stop It.

Thurman May Not Be the Man, WasniNaroy, June 6.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bee.]—Wo are moving too fast to stop and take up dead bodies,” said Mr. By num, an Indiana democratic member of the house, who is one of Governor Gray's most ardent advocates, in discussing to-night the “vico prosidential situation at St. Louis. “I do not think Gray will be nominated,” he continued, “and I may add that I do not be- liove Judge Thurman will be nominated. When the convention adjourned to-day it fas a victory for the anti-Thurman men, All of the friends of Governor Gray in the conven- tion are opposed to Thurman and there are many who are classed as the friends of Thurman who will gladly drop him and go to anew man whenever ho is suggestod. Gray's know-nothing record scared the party at large, and then the interferencs on the part of the administration sealed his defeat.” ‘Then there will be some other man than Gray or Thurman brought into the nvention to-morrow for the vice idenc, I inquired. “Yes," replie or, “I think Thure nian’s defeat will be worked in the caucus of the Gray men at St. Louis to-night. Tho Indiana democrats will not_sleep much dur- ing the next twelve:hours, 1 do not oppose Judge Thurman on personal grounds and the Indinna democrats are not opposed to him for anything that he has done, but he is too old. Heis but a tradition. He would give no strength to the party anywhere. Then the Gray men intend to rebuke those who brought Thurman out to defeat them and they also intend to teach the administration and its frionds a lesson for their meddhing with Gray's canvass.” “Who do you think will be the new man sprung upon the convention to-morrow?" “Probably William R. Morrison of Iilinois. Morrison is an ardent. advocate of the nomi- nation of Gray and naturally Gray’s follow. ing would go to him. General Stevenson of 1llinois, has been mentioned and he would ba stronjr man on the ticket. He is probably amore brainy man than Morrison but he has done nothing to give him fame or prestige other thanto dismiss by wholesale fourth- class postmasters. Morrison has a national character.” Not a Boom Situation.
