Wa-hlngton., June 6 (Special).? At 1 o'clock fo day
Representative Hermann, ol Oregon, received a dis?
patch from 6eerotary Gre*;***, of the Republican Btate
Committee, saying:
Vonr majority In Iho Stato will reach 5,000. Legfe
laturo more than tiro-thl rda Republlcar..
A dispatch from I'matllla County says:
We have wiped out the Democratic majority In
thia county, which has Leen electing Democrats to
tho Legislature ever (.'.nee tho war.
Umatllla ls ono of tho largest wool and wheat grow?
ing counties In Oregon. Late In the afternoon Mr.
Hermann received another dispatch from the 6tato
Committee, saying that his majority will reach 8.000.
Senator Mitchell said this afternoon Ihat while he
had expected tho State to go Republican by a good
majority, he was very much surprised as well a-s grat?
ified to find that the majority greatly exceeded hl_
ex pee tat lona, ne added: "It Insures the election o
a Republican successor to myself as well aa to fen
ator Dolph."
Borne Republicans express a fear Ihat tho rerilt
In Oregon might have an effect on the adoption of a
tariff plank by the St. Louis Convention In conformity
with the free trade message of President Cleveland,
and several of them express the belief that the news
from his Stato had Influenced tho vote in favor of tbe
ad_ourp.rt.ent of the Convention until to-morrow.
Free-trade Democrats, however, scout that Idea
They declare that the Convention, having placed Mr.
Cleveland In nomination, will be forced to approve
the tariff views contained In his message. 6ome of
the leaders claim to have received assurances that the
"conservatives,'' as they are called, will be defeated
In the Convention, no matter what may bo tho report
of the Committee on Resolutions.
"Oregon ls a Republican State anyhow, and we
never expected to carry lt, although we hoped to get
a majority of the Legislature this year,*1 said a prom?
inent free-trade leader this afternoon. It ls asserted
that when Mr. Weed went to tho Pacific Coast ho wai
authorized hy William |_ Scott to draw on him for
any amount of funds which ho might consider neces?
sary to enable tho Oregon Democrats to obtain a
majority In tho Lcgl.lature which would choose a
revenue reformer a* Senator Dolph's successor. That
the Democratic Committee was well' supplied with
faade wsus known to bo tho ease, and lt was asserted
that a considerable amount of money was sent from
the Ka^t for their benefit.
Late to-night Senator Mitchell received the following :
Portland, Oregon, June 0.

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.

St. Louis, June fi.? 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!
