Hni riou is the first, and it is hoped that he may hetke last President who ever per sonally took charire of the I canvas to get himself renom inated, and it is only since the Bbiine boom assumed such dangerous proportions that Mr. Harrison so far for- ! got his dignity as to do so. ,Hut there is no question a jbout his having taken the j management of his fight into ,hisown hands. Whether this was because he doubted the honesty or the political sa igacityof Secretaries Elkins I. 1 T.-. I,,. fiuu t ii.Mfi , 01 ufi ui": m- feared they would carry out their threats of revolt if he transferred the management of his affairs to John C. New, is mote than your correspon dent cares to say, but what ever the cause, Mr. Harrison is personally bossing hisown political machine, telegrams signed by him are being sent to the shaky delegates among the"instructod," and he is to be kept, in instantaneonscom munication with the Minne apolis convention by means of a private telegraph wire. Since assuming command Mr. Harrison has instructed his fighting men to hit every Blaine head that comes up, and his supporters are now openly threatening that if they cannot nominate Har rison they can at least pre vent the nomination of Blaine without a struggle so bitter that he cannot accept with out practically confessing that his February letter was but a shrewd move towarj get ting the nomination. Ex Czar Beed, who has made up with Blaine, with whom he has been on bad terms for years, is shedding no tears over the situation, as it is on the programme for him to fall heir to the Blaine strength if for any reason Mr. Blaine shall decide not to make use of it for himself; he also ex pects to be made temporary chairman of the convention. Representative Srevens, of M a ss a ch u se 1 1 s , h a s i n t r o d u c ed a tariff bill, covering the metal schedule, which is the result of many consultations w i t h his democratic col leagues on the House Ways and Means committee. It places iron ore and scrap iron on the list, and about cuts in halt the duties on manufact ured metal, as they are in the McKinley law. The bill is based upon the report of the U. S. Commissioner of labor, upon the comparative cost of manufactures of iron and steel in the United States and Europe, and Mr. Stevens says the proposed duti?s are more than sufficient to cover the whole difference between the cost of articles manufactured in the United States and in Great Britain. More than that no manufacturer has even the shadow of a right to claim. Representative Hatch's mo tion to take up the anti-option bill, notwitstandiiig the decision of the democratic caucus that the appropria tion bills were to have exclu sive right of way until they are all disposed of, received! the solid support of there-! , publicans of t he House and! enough democratic votes to make a tie vote on on the motion. Wheth-rMr. Hatch ! will have better lin k wlc n he ! makes another trial, is the 'question h e undoubtedly Ithinks he will, and that tic !bill will be passed by the House before adjournment. ! Representative Johnson, of Indiana, has been heartily cursed, on the quiet, by the ! republican leaders for having ! given away the setitimentsof 1 Mr. Harrison on theforce bill. .They say that if Johnson had ; the sense he was born with he would have known that he could not have possibly pleased the democrats better than by m.ikir.gsu'-h a rp eh at he made hist week. Some of them protend to believe ; t hat Johnson was ' put up" to it by some wicked demo crat in search of ca iapu ga ; material for his patty. What I ever the cause, the party got the campaign ammunition. Tlrj Senate will give t h e country sonic silver talk for a ivhilo, but for just ;hov long jit would be dilficult to say. which was some time ago ad versely reported by the Fi j nan;-e commit tee, and w hich is to come up tomorrow as the "unfinished business.'' , Senators opposed to the bill I admit that ': will pass by a majority of from 1 to 5 if it is allowed to reach a vote, and there is a suspicion a lloat that they do not pro pose to allow it to come to a vote. Mr. Blaine is again at his Washington residence, but he is not doing any talking, at least that is what th.) favor ed few who get to see him say. He listens ahd smiles, but says not a u-ord that can by any possible twisting be made to give even the slight est indication of how heie gards the efforts that are be ing made for him. or whether he will accept if they are suc cessful in getting him nomi nated. Secretary Elkins isulking. He was to have gonetoRoch ester with Mr. Harrison, but at the last minute he refused positively to go. He is sus pected of having u leaning toward Blaine, and heknows it, which causes him to mag nify the significance of little things, F r o m a national stand-j point it would have been diffi cult for the Governor of Vir ginia to have selected a more satisfactory successor to the Senator Barbour than Gen. Eppa Hunton. . Whorls Giiiiljl Columbus. Ohio, May 31 ! Governnor McKinley has re ceived a letter fro n one who signs himself "Leader of the Red Mountain still gang," of Red Mountain near Birming ham, Alabama who claims that he and one of his gang committed the Co 1 u rn b u s grove bank robbery and mur der last August for which Frank Van Loon Is now a waiting execution here. The writer also claims that his gang robbed the Georgia Pa cific train in Georgia a feiv months ago. THE rLATFOEM Adopted Oi Ic Cui'H niica , 3Iv isih, IVJ2. ! Resolved 1. That the d"in : ocracy of North ' arol'u.a re-1 aliirm lli- principles of the! democratic part .both Slate and National, and particu larly favor tin- fuvcoiuageof; .silver and .in increase of the! (urn ncy and a repeal of the; intei ija! revenuesvsfeni. And j we d'Mioiince the McKinley tarifT hii asunjusto thecon sumersof the coantry, and leading to the formation of trusts, combines and monop olies which have oppressed the people; an 1 especially do we domain. -e the unnecessary and burdensome increase in the tax on cotton tiesandou tin, !( laig' ly used by the poorer j-ortion of the neople. We likewise denounce the in iquitous Force bill, which is not yet abandoned by the republican party, hut is be ing n eg; I as a measure to be adopted as soon as they re gain control of the House of Representatives, the purpose and effect of which measure will be to establish a second ! perio t of reconstruction in 1 he Soul hern States, to sub vert the liberties of our peo ple and inflame a nevv r ice antagonism and sectional an imosities. 2. That we demand finan cial reform, and the enact ment of laws that will re move the burdens of the peo ple relative to theexistingag ricultural depression, and do full and air pie justice to the farmers and laborers of our country. '1. That we demand theab ohtion of national b a n k s. and the substitution of legal tender Treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes, issu ed in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a cash system, regulating the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business inerests of the country ex pand, and that all monev is sued by the srovernment shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, both public and pri vate. 4. Thai we demand that Congress shall pass such laws us shall effectually prevent the dealing in in lines of all agricultural and mechanical produ 'Hons; providing such stringent system of proced ure in trials as shall secure prompt onvictiou and impo sing such penalties as shall secure most perfect compli ance with I he law. 5. That we demand theun limited coinage of .silver. . That we demand the pas sagtof laws prohibiting the alien ownership of hind, and that Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain a!! lands now owned by alien and foreign syndi cates; and that all lands now held by railroads and other corpora tions, iu excess ofsuch as is actually used and need ed Ivy them, be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. 7. Believing iu the doc trine of "equal rights to all and special privilege to none, we demand that taxation,! National and State, shall not) lie used to build up ore inter est or class at tlieeXiense of another. Wcl-lievethat the money f tin country sho'.ld be kept as much as possible in the hands of 'die people, and Iiom we demand 'hat al1. ivwiiuo, National, State or couniy, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the govern a lent, economically and l.one.vilv administered. S. That Congress issue a sufficient amount offra tion al pa per currency to facilitate the exchange through theme diuin of the F. S. mail. 1). That the General As sembly pass such laws as will make the public school sys tem more effective that the blessings of idueation may be extended to ail the people of the Stafe alike. Mr. McDonald, oiCabarrus moved that the platform Ire adopted by acclamation. The following amendment w as of fered and accepted: Resolved, That we favor a graduated tax on income. kvkaci'ke ca:;vi:K;io:". KuUiifeiaxllc Cleveland .Men As'oii- Syi;a( usi;. N. V. May 111. Soon after 11 o'clock the Bui' falo Cleveland democrats one thousand strong, and thoTil den club of Jamestown and others formed in lineand with brass bands and drums and lifes paraded thestreet. Hun dreds of Syracuse people a.'.d country folk stood upon the sidewalks and in store doors and windows to watch and hear. In the mean time the State committee was in ses sion at the Vanderbilt House where thev' were considering a mode of proecedure in the convention. The parading delegates finally reached the Alhambra rink, a great hall with a gallery along e i t h er side and another at the rear. Chairs for various delegates wet e designated by cards. The narrow side windows and low skylight admitted but fifth light, nnd at high noon even a subdued twilight prevailed. The onlv colors in Cue hall were draped over the speak er's table, and a big flag was hung at the rear of thestage. As the noon hour appioach ed brightly attired women, for whom two hundred pla ces had been reserved on ei ther side of Hie stage, came fluttering into their places, and the waving of feminine fans began. The delegates, too, came traiupingin singly and in bunches. Then came the sound of a band of mu sic. Then parade was Hear ing convention hall. The doors soon after swung wide open, and the musicians mar ched in and opened ranks for the delegations in line to file through into the hall. The side galleries were quickly packed with people and the roaring tramping upon t h e stairs indicated, before they could be seen there, that the crowd with plain admission tickets were finding their way to the gallery at the end of the hall. At 12 o'clock Chas. S. Fair child, chairman ot the Stale Committee, called theconven tion to order. Ac 12; 12 Mr. Fuirchikl fin ished Ins remarks and nam ed Hon. John I). Leruan as temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. K inaath took t he clnir and addressed the convention. t the con-clu-aon of his remark the roll of ilt legates w es "ailed and at l:2i the convention took a recess till H:.",0. At 4:1 ." o'clock theconven tion was again c.il! 1 to or der by Mr. Kern in who ask ed for reports of the commit tee. Jacob F. Miller, of New York, chairman of the com mittee on permanent organi zation. Mr. Kernan thank ed the convention for its re newed courtesy ynd called on Mr. Ellery, chairman of the committee on resolutions for its report of that committee. Chairman Anderson then sent Secretary Baldwin the plat form as prepared and revised by the committee during' re cess and it was read. The denouncement of the midwinter convention was greeted with tremendous ap plause. The reference to Gro ver Cleveland being able C carry New York State a 1 s o moved t he convent ion to its feet and brought applause, while the affirmation t h a r this convention and its con stituent's would support the nominee at Chicago whoever he might be was greeted by a burst of ringing cheers that left no doubt as to the pur pose of the convention. At t h e do.: of the i ending th throng was ..gvi'.n on feet and the ,.j-.ar. ionir and uproriou-. S - ver 'I enthusiastic and earnest sp, a ches were made oi v the mo: i- a for the. a .! ; !
