No loss n person than ox-Governor Foraker of Ohio was chosen as too chairman ot the committee on resolutions , and bo It Is , tnoroforo , who wilt have the honor to first voldo in tbo na tional convention the declarations upon which the coming presidential campaign will bo fought by tbo republicans , no matter who is tholr nominee. The first moot ing of the committee began Imme diately following the adjournment of the convention and before the slower- members bad realized what was going on , Forakor was at the helm. It came about llita n flash. Delegate- Oliver ot Pennsylvania on entering the room rapped immediately for order , briskly named Forakor for the place and getting a prompt second , put the motion and announced thai it wcs carried nnd ex-Qov- ornor Forakor was the man. If thcrowas any idea of opposition it had no chance to develop , and tbo hearty "yes" of the lively Obloun'a friends on Iho committee went wholly unchallenged by any hostile negatives. Dividing the Work. When the committee had caught its breath after the llghtnlng-lllco election , Governor Gear of Iowa pfToroda suggestion , which was adopted , after some desultory discussion. It was lhat tbo preparation of the platform bo referred to live subcommittees ot flvo members oach. Ono toplo was to boas- signed to n subcommittee. The division to bo as follows : First , tariff ; second , silver ; third , elections ; fourth , foreign relations ; fifth , miscellaneous subjects. Governor Forakor announced that he would name the members of tbo flvo sub committees nt 4 p. m. And the gathering quickly scattered unlil 8 p. m. , sot as tua hour tor reassembling. Governor Forakor , afior looking over the list of members when ho reached his hotel , made the following appointments of the sub committee : Tariff II. W. Oliver , Pennsylvania ; J. Gear , Iowa ; J.

Talk of a big row in regard to silver was current when tbo full platform committee reassembled at nlcht , Tbo silver men were reported AS claiming that they had bcon promised a majority on the subcommittee mid that tbo promise bad not boon fulfilled. Jones and Teller , two of the members of tbo subcommittee , wore recognized as the promised frco silver men , but Cannon and Brackott were said to bo as Dositivoly against the white metal , wllh Fairchlld leaning strongly toward the bostilo party , making it three out of five against sll. vor. Tbo silver men were said also to bo nntjry at tbo delay of the subcommittee lo postponing a mooting until the full oommltteo wag in ses sion. As a matter of fact , bowover , no ono of tbo subcommittees bavo boon aolo to got together , no hour or place of as sembling haying been settled upon provlous to tbo scattering of the full committee at its hurt-led first tnnellng. The ? membership of the subcommittees , too , though the list was quickly posted by Governor Forakor as' ho promised , did not become very generally Known to the del. cgatos most directly interested , owing to n combination of misunderstandings. The work of formulating oven the first rough drafts of separate plans of a platform had not madotha slightest headway up to U p. m. , nnd the taking up of tbo task wus thought to bo at hand. Thu Klrflt ta Miikn un Arciiinent. A representative of tbo League for the Protection of American Institutions was the first outsider accorded the privilege of mak ing an address In lho committee room. He was followed by Rov. Miss Olympla Brown of Kaclno , Wis. , and Mrs. S. M. S. Perkins of Cleveland , Q. , who uskod that the republican plank of four years ago on "Irno suffrage" bo amended to include Ibo words "male or female. " The ladies ex pressed themselves as happy nt tbo courte sies extended them , but wore not inclined to bo simgulno as to any action of commlltoo in Iho direction of woman suffrage. Judge Albion W. Tourgoa next pleaded for a planic lhat would look low.ard the protec tion of ibo negro by exiooslon ol tbo powers of the federal courts. Other gcnilomcn wllh long cherished pro grams for the consideration of the committee \tato also in walling , but as it was now pot ting far into the nlgbt Ibo committee decided to seuarato Into subcommittees with tha un derstanding that their assembling would bo at some tlmo during tomorrow afternoon , one hour later than the adjournment of the convention.

The an nouncement of the appointment on the silver ubcommllioo of the commlttoo on rosolu- lonsof General McMabou Is regarded ns od- antazoous by thosllvoritus. Senator Teller expresses himself ns partio- larly well pleased with the selection of the reo coinage members o'f the coramlileo. Ho s acquainted with ihq views of Messrs. irackolt and Cannon , out General Faircblld s not known to him , nud ho does not know bow far the ox-commander ot the ( Iraud \rrny of Iho Republic is inclined to go in the direction of conciliation of the silver inter- sts , but ho scorns to feat * that Mr. Fairchild - child , coming from Wisconsin , perhaps most conspicuous man in the norlhwost , s not good material for missionary work. L'bo silver plank fo generally regarded wllh moro Interest than any other of the resolu tions that will constitute the platform. This subcommUloo , as u whole is the bc-st known by ils'momborshlpand is perhaps the strong est of any subcommittee into which Gov ernor FoiaUor divided tbo resolutions commlttoo. Confronted by n Serious Problem. Tbo problem which confronts. Iho silver. men , so far as tbo subcommittee Is con cerned , is to win ever the other sidu a single norabor of the three Interposition. They horoughly understand that free coinage can not , by any possibility , bo obialnod as a decloratlou ot principles of tbo republicans , and tbo composition of the commllleo scorns o make II unlikely that anything the anil- free , coinage raon would consonl to would moot with tbo assent ot 'Messrs. Jones and Toller. Mr. Cannon is probably the most liberal of .ho tbrco in bis views , hut it is likely that ba will bo unwilling to glvo bis consent to any stop in advance of the ! present law. It s therefore quite- probable that Iho plank will bo substantially in accord with Iho pro- ont statute with , perhaps , a modification oolilng to larger coinage of tbo purchased silver bullion , and some reference to a wlll- ngness to act In conjunction with other ua- ions on a monetary agreement for an en- argod use. Colnngo , Not Storage Wanted. The coinage of stiver. Instead of Its stor age , Is ono point which tha moro Intelligent of the free coinage mon earnestly desire , as boy fear thai tbo piling up of the bullion in the treasury will not tend lo mako-peoploro- fard silver as on thd same basis as gold is oparded a thing tbo silver mon are anxious o inculcate into public miqd. The silver raon are prepared to Hgiit the report of the majority of the subcommittee , and when tbo general t commltioo gals lo vork on Iho plalform U Is likely lhat the greatest efforts of the -silver raon will bo made.
