PETERSBURG. Oct. 3. The de nunciation of the Viborg manifesto, with its appeal for the non-payment of taxes and tiie refusal to perform mil itary service, as a campaign document in the coming elections and the adop tion of a more constitutional line of campaign, appears to be the order of the day of the congress of Constitu tional Democrats, which will open at Helsingfors next Sunday. A majority of the central committee is convinced that it would be inexpedient to enter the battle under such an openly revo lutionary standard. The proposed platform, a plank of which. It 1s understood, has been draft ed by Professor Milukoff, will declare that, while the Viborg manifesto was a correct measure at the time of Us adoption, it would now be inopportune to press its recommendations. The belligerents, and among them Is Prince Dolgoroukoff, of Moscow, are inclined to fight for a flat reaffirmation of the manifesto, but the conservatives arj confident of carrying the day. The convention will be held behind closed doors, and the press will be ex cluded in deference to the Finns, who do not desire that the convention be given great prominence on account of their friendly relations with the gov ernment, and also to prevent advertis ing. At a joint meeting held todav In Moscow of the St. Petersburg and Mos cow committees of the Octoberists the action of M. Guchkoff in approving the Btolypin programme, including trial by drumhead court-martial, was vindi cated. The opposition withdrew its contention. The two committees then Joined the committee of the Peaceful Jtegenerationisrs, whose position Is im proving steadily, although still a minor party.
