WATTERSON UNHORSED; THE DEMOCRATIC MULE KICKS AT FREE J. TRADE. SENATOR GORMAN 8UCCESSETJLLT ADVOCATES THE R-.N_.WAL Ol' Till- MEANINGLESS TA1V EBB PLANK OF 1884-TO THIS ARE TO BE ADDWD PARAGHAl'US PRAISING CLEVELANDS MESSAGE AND THE MILLS BILL. St. Louis, June 6.?The Committee on Resolu* t ions resumed it_ session nt 10 a. m. to-day at the Southern Hotel. Tho sub-committee appointed to draft it platform entered the room afterward, look lng exceedinjrly worn bj- their lons session of last iiifrlit. They reported their inability to agree, the [mint nt, laaai heine; the question of reaffirming tho tariff plank in the platform of 1884. The sub? committee had listened to earnest appeals last ni.hr in favor of and opposed to the (_ucs*tion, but could not iii-'ree. Mr. dorman proposed a rcaffirma tion of the tariff plank in the 1831 platform and a general indorsement of the policy of reduction is indicated in tho President's tariff mossuRe. Mr. Watterson opposed any allusion to the platform of 1884, which ho deemed equivocal and indirect. Mr. (.orman addressed the committe*-, for an hour, and 1 phll-J-Sd the political expediency of a moderate tariff policy. While he considered the prospects of Democratic success in New-York maeta better than they were four years ago. Ile regarded Indiana (and he appealed to Senator Turpie to confirm his statement), New-Jersey nnd Connecticut as doubtful, and he would have no boric of his party carrying them upon a tariff for-re von no only platform. Mr. Gorman argued that, the plat-Sam of lt-f*.. was tho one upon whieh Mr. Cleveland was elected, that he accepted the nomination upon it, and has been content to administer thc Executive Office in necordanco with its iniiiei-.les. lt has ample latitude, as much as the Administration itself desir-s; and it would be impolitic at this timo to make it more em? phatic. THE RADICALS WANT NO COMPROMISE. Mr. Watterson responded in an address of about one hour's duration. The platform of ten years ago, he said, was a straddle, and so nc ' i by the Committee on Resolutions iu the I lonventioa of 1884. Its advocates had said: " Let us get Into power and then wc can frame a policy to snit, our party views."' The issue of that elect inn, said Mr. Watterson, did not prove tho wisdom of nn equivocal policy. It was not a policy pleasing lo American manhood. It came to lie stigmatized ns a straddle, and there was on odium attn h.(I to it from which it could not be freed. The campaign, fortunately for the Dcm ? >. :iitie party, hy the nomination, of Mr. Blaine, had liecomc one of personalities and Mr. Cleveland had been elected. The result did not prove thl strength of the platform of 1834 and did not justify the faith of the advocates of a straddling policy. In his Judgment thero was no statesman? ship in duplicity. It would, he thought, be wisc to take M n_-_.rcsf.ivc stand, as the Democratic [nitty had now been irrevocably committed to the policy of horizontal reduction by Mr. Cleve? lands last -OCaaage .ind by thc utterances of thc majority of thc Democratic party in tho House of Representatives. From that position, said Mr. Watterson, " there can be no retreat, Oor posi? tion is clearly announced. It is known to our opponents nnd to thc people." Ile believed, more? over that thc bold, manly tone of Mr. Cleveland's mesvi^o had had a very happy effect. The utmost candor of expression characterized the remarks of hoth Mr. Watterson and Senator (i .tiii.m , and perfect good feeling was maintained throughout. Hut it soon became evident that theil relative positions upon the point nt issue would he maintained, and it became quite as olenr thar, tlie majority" of th-, com._iit.ee had been im? pressed with Mr. Gorman's candid statement of the political eupcdleney involved in the question. Throughonl the discussion the members of the com? mittee, I-steno*, with eager attention und thong-, the heat of the committee rooms was al? most. Insufferable not I chair was vacated during tlie long sc*;.iou. The doors were kept carefully loek'-d all thc morning and throngs of prominent gentlemen, among whom was Colonel Morrison, of Illinois, waited impatient ly in the corridor for any information that could be gleaned M to the pro ceodings from any member of the committee who might appear in the corridor for a breath of fresh air. At Doon thc general debate wns hegun upon tho nuesti.iri of reai-irming the platform of 1884, |. n minutes to be uUowed each State; nnd a vote to le- bad ar. 1 :.'.0. The debate, however, was prolonged aftc: '. o'olook. A VICTORY Fur*. S* NATOR (".ORMAN.

Mr. Cleveland wns rennmla nated to-day by acclamation. The convention succeeded in accompl Jailing this much of tho task. laid out for it in Washington. It was not the Ins tention to make either nomination, apparently, until ofter the platform had beni adopted, but thc convention got into the humor for doing something, being weary of waiting on thc C ia* mitteo on Resolutions, and so. having nothing l>ettc_ to do, in moro senses than one, it nomi? nated Mr, Cleveland. When it became known, however, that tho Committee on Resolutions could not possibly report before tomorrow morning, a portion of thc convention, made up largely ot friends of Governor Gray, asked to havo the, nomination of a candidate for Vice President post? poned until after the platform had been disposed, of, and this wns done. When thc convention carno together an hour later thc hall was even more crowded, if possible, than it had been yes-t terday. Kvcry part of the spaco waa packed with people. Tlie heat wns great, nnd there wm. a steady Gutter of thousands of fans. Hundreds of men had their coats off among the spectators. The upper gallery WBB lined all nlong the front with men in their shirt sleeves. Thc first basia ness Was to receive thc report of the Committee, on Credentials, which disposed of thc only con* fest, that in Dakota, by seating thc Administration delegation, that of Governor Church, whom Prcsi dent Cleveland transplanted from Jamaica, Lona Island, to that far off Territory* . CONGRESSMAN COLLINS WARMLY RECEIVED. The report of tho Committee on Permanent) Organization presented as permanent chairman Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts, who WES warmly welcomed, not only for him-elf, but alb. undoubtedly for the class of voters whom this selection was intended to flatter. Mr. Collina showed an erect, stalwart, figure, nnd it. fac-s indicative both of resolution nnd good humor. His voice is pleasing, butt far from being aa effective for convention purposes as the shriller? tones of Mr. White, temporary chairman. Ta most of Mr. Collins's audience, his address must have been entirely inaudible, but it wns received by tho delegates with every sign of interest, although it was rend from manuscript. It waa frequently applauded. At his first mention ot Cleveland there was a spurt of a cheer, nnd when* he paid his tribute to the Mugwumps, to whom he said the Democratic party owed a debt of gratitude, there were fl few isolated hand claps. His elabe rate tribute to tho President, in con* eluding, was once or twice interrupted with cheers, and there was a straggling shout at the close. A communication was then read ti. tho effect! that the women's convention in Washington list winter hod deputed two ladies to address the DemoeTatio convention, who asked a hearing of ten minutes. Joseph J. O'Douohue, of New-York, with an Irishman's quickness to respond to tlie claims of the sex, jumped up, waved his fan wildly* et the chairman, and moved that thc request, he granted. This was carried, and a little lateu Mrs. L. A. Merriwcather, of St Louis, came for. ward. Tho endeavor to instruct the Democracy! upon tho subject of woman suffrage was no*, successful. Mrs. Merriweather's voice seemed very* weak at best, and when the strongest r_i"i wera nearly bursting blood vessels In the .dort ta mako themselves heard, she could hardly hope ta do it. Her voice seemed to be lost in space thu moment it left her lips. Even most, of the con respondents could only see her motions, and could only guess at the sentiments she was expressing, 'Hie convention listened to her kindly ea tho whole and with evident sympathy for her, la km unpleass ant position, but when she had talked m dumb show against thc air for some time, the secretary; pressed the electric button at his side, the band.' in tho gallery struck up, and the lady retired la evident disappointment. "OUR TIM" NOT TO BE PUT DOWN. Before this episode, however, Timothy J. Comrx bell offered ? resolution of sympathy with Gen* ?ml Sheridan, wh.ch in the hands of a lesa pertinacious man than " Tim"' would have been smothered by being sent to the Committee on. I.c-oltitions, but he stuck to his point and finally, carried the resolution through amid the hearty* and sympathetic applause of the cuu\i*ulion, and by a standing vote. The Committee on Resolutions being unable td report, W. N. Hcnscl, chairman of the PennsyN vania delegation, moved that tlie roll pa called, for the presentation of candidates, it being undera stood that no TOM should be taken until the plat*, form had been disposed of. This was received with pmt cheering in tho galleries, where thejj wanted to see the fun benin. Tho motion waa curried, und the roll call beean. Alabama sup. rendered its right, when its name was called, ta the Suite of New-York. Cheering broke out au this, which grew into a roar as Daniel Dougherty! tom amid the Xew-York delegation and begM ta make his way townrd the stage. His colleagues in tho New-York delegation tm I in a budy, h>-aded. by tho indefatigable Roswell P. Flower, and cheered him.
