There hna boon considerable discussion today nhout tho platform which tho gold Democratic con nontlon wlH ndopt, and thcro nro lndien- tlons that n fight may ho tho outcome Mr. Iiynum yesterday received from Ahram S. Ilowltt, of Now York, n draft of tho platform which tho Now York man thinks should lw adopted. Mr. Uynum some tlmo ago wroto to n number of lead ing gold Democrats throughout tho coun try, asking them to submit their Ideas as to what tho platform should be. Soveral have responded with drafts of different planks, but Mr. Ilowltt has sent nn entlro platform All the communications which havo been received on tho subject by Mr. Uynum will bo turned over to tho committee on reso lutions when It shall bo appointed. Mr. Uynum says that It docs not necessarily mean that bccmiM) Mr. Ilowltt had drafted it platform that It would bo tho ono adopted by tho couvontlon. Somo of tho delegates now hero think that It Is a mis tako to have any Idea got out that tho plat form was drawn by Mr. Hewitt or any other man. A draft of tho money plank, prepared In tho treasury department, has boon soon by soveral lendors of tho gold movement, and thcro Is a general impression that sugges slonsfrom this quarter will ho recolved by tho committees on resolutions and tho con vention with u groat deal of favor. It Is pessiblo that soveral of tho monoy planks which havo boon prepared aro drawn on tho linos supgosted In tho treasury depart ment, and possibly Mr. Howitt's draft may contain thoso suggestions. There is also talk of a plank in favor of currency reform, having for its main ob ject tho retirement of tho greenbacks, and n revised system of issuing bank notes to tako tho place of tho greenbacks, tho notes to bo redeemed and reissued and supportud by a gold roservo in tho banks, with tho maintenance of all currency at a par with gold. This schome is 6ald to havo bohind It soveral strong mon who will push it bo foru tho committed on resolutions. There is also a movoment to secure an Indorsement of tho prluoiploof tho Income tax, but this does not receivo very hearty support from tho delegates now hero. Ferry Uolmont, ono of tho delegates from New York, arrived yesterday. Several of tho leaders of tho gold movement, includ ing Chairman Ilynum, had long confer ences with Mr. Belmont during tho day and in thoovening. .Mr. JJelmont had ab solutely nothing to say for publication. J. Parko Postlos, of Delawaro, is hero. IIo says tho situation in Delaware depends upon tho success of a contemplated ar rangement between tho Higgins and Ad dicks factions as to tho electoral ticket. With unity of tho Republicans, ho says, tho ticket to bo nominated at Indianapolis would poll enough votes to glvo tho state to McKinley. Unless tho Hopuullcan dif ficulty is adjusted tho Republicans will bo moro hopolossly divided than aro tho Democrats. Ho says that an adjustment Is possible on tho doctoral ticket, but not on other features of tho canvass. Sir. Fostles was asked if thoro was any talk about Senator Gray, of Dela ware, for tho presidential nominee of tho convention, nnd replied thatSonator Gray was not a candidate. IIo did not say that Senator Gray would not accept ir tho nom ination was tendered him. Louis It. Ehrich, of Colorado, is n, gold delcgato from a very strong silver state. IIo sayB it is idlo to talk about MoKlnloy carrying Colorado, nnd ono might us woll say that Dryan would carry Maine. Thu Democrats and Populists havo fused on an electoral ticket, and will sweep tho state. A second Domocratlotickotwlllnotbo put In tho field in Colorado, and tho Demo crnts who do not want to voto for Bryan will cast their votes for Mclvinloy. Mr. Ehrich says It is impossible to guoss tho vote for McKinley In Colorado. In coming east Mr. Ehrich had an oppor tunity to talk with men of Kansas and .Nebraska, rno Jiansas man earn tno sil ver movoment was on tho wnno, nnd Mc Kinley stock was rising. Tho reports from Ivebraska wero conllictlng, but tho Im prosslon seemed to bo that the big oorn crop of tho state would tend to destroy tho discontent and thus Increase tho McKin ley voto. Among other noted lendors hero aro Comptroller Eckles, of Illinois, Senator Vllus of Wisconsin, and ox-Congressman Outhwaitobf Ohio. Tho real InUux be gan to-day. Secretary John R. Wilson already lias tho signed credentials of over (WO delegates, and lias receivod telegrams announcing that they are on their way. Thus far but ono delegate has appeared who does not favor tho nomination of a ticket. Tho managers, however, look upon a ticket In the doubtful states as of vital importance, but tho general expectation now is that nn electoral ticket will bo put up in almost evory state In tho Union. It Is pointed out that au nctlvo canvass Is to bo mndo by tho gold Democrats under the auspices of tho committee: to bo appointed by tho convention to succeed tho provis ional commltteo against tho Chicago nom inees, and that this could bo moro effec tively nnd moro consistently dono with nominees in tho Hold. "They would," said Congressman Spor ry, "glvo us a chance to rally round them. Desplto tho fact that in this campaign the money question overshadows nil else, it would bo nlmostimposslbloforDomocrnts to advocate the election of McKlr.luy on a platform which gave proferenco protec tion und other things to which wo havo been and nro still unalterably opposed. Tho only detraction to McKlnloy's elec tion seems to bo tho fact that ninny gold Democrats will voto for McKlilJev. und tho real strength of the gold Democrats will not lie manifest in the vote enst." Comptroller Eckels is enthusiastic over the prospects of the convention. IIo says it will be a magnificent body of men and a great credit to the cause In which they nro enlisted. Mr. Eckels savs he has not looked over tho ground and knows very llttlo about tho present situation as to candidates, but he volunteers tho state ment that there Is considerable sentiment 111 favor of Vilas In northern Illinois. Mr. Eckels says that from his observation on his trip through tho west he Is of tho opinion that the silver wave is receding very rapidly, "and when tho votes nro counted you will find-that ten Democrats voto for McKinley where ono votes for Brynn." No Miter Ilcdecined In finlil. WASitixtiTox, Pept.l. Chairman Faulk ner recently addressed a letter to Secretary Carlisle stating that in view of tho re peated assertions by public speakers that silver dollars had been kopt nt a parity with gold by reason of tho readiness of tho treasury to redeem them In gold upon re quest, ho would llkoa response to thoques tlon whether tho treasury had over re deemed silver dollars. Secretary Carllslo writes lh responso: '-So far as I have liven ublo to nscortain neither tho treasury de partment nor tho sub-treasury has ever boon called upon to redeem silver dollars in gold, and no such dollars havo over been In fact redeemed in gold." VouiiK McCord Helit for Murder. PlllAblir.wuA, Sept. 1. Tho murder of James 13. Adams, aged 78 years, by Alfred McCord, aged 17, at tho homo of tho latter on Thursday last, was investigated by Coroner Ashbridgo yesterday.

Miss L'lllo Brum- mcr, a prominent and very respcctahlo young woman of this place, is almost Frustrated by tho cruel und perfidious treatment received at tho hands of her betrothed, who aban doned her on the very evo of their mar riage.
