Modest Request of the Ladles

IA3

delegation of wemen, suffragists tailed on Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes £.nd requested an ihours time in the convention to make an argument before the convention in behalf of a 'woman suffrage iplanik in the platform. They also asked for filfty seats in the convention hall. The convention hall was inspected today by Architect Adler. The acoustic properties, the platform and seating arrangements were all ilrst class and he so iniform&d the national committee. Ex-lSenator Thomas C. Piatt of New York, and Gha-inman. Hadkett of the !New York Republican state committee, arrived in St. Louis tonight. Mr. Piatt declined to talk 'for iputolication until Ihe had tonferred with several men who were "waiting to see him. Senator Piatt's arrival 'has been quite anxiously awaited and especially on account of the statement of Mr. Manley last night. To his friends he expressed the greatest Eurprise that such a statement should have 'been made by Mr Manley at this time. Mr. Piatt announced, however, that the fight would be carried on against the nomination of McKVnley Just as if no statement had been imade by Mr. Reed's manager that thetOhio man would ibe 'nominated on the first ballot.

General Henderson and! General Dodge ,of Iowa, managers or Senator Allison, arrived tonight and expressed surprise that Mr. Manley had given up the fight. There was a rumor that Mr. Piatt's arrival had stiffened up the opposition to further efforts against McJvinley "but those 'Who have been on the ground 'for the last two or three days Baid they could not see it in that light.

Tribute to Our "Grand Old Alan." The Hon. iRic'hard Thompson—"Uncle Dick" in the affectionate phrase of his people in Indiana-^wM head the Retpuiblican—and McKinley—delegation from Indiana.

It is a long way -back to*1840 but in that year Mr. Thompson was an elector on the Harrison ticket he was elector Again in 1364 when L.in'coln was chosen tfor a second term. He was delegate to the national conventions of 1868 and 1876 dn the .first of these he was chairman of the committee on resolutions, and in the last he presented the name of his friend, that stanch war governor and eminent senator, Oliver P. iMorton, as a presidential candidate. In 3S77 he entered the caibinet of President Hayes as secretary of th£ navy. In 1888 he published 'his famous "History of protective Laws" a. work which at once took high ranJk els a text book among political economists and at a later period "Recollections of Sixteen Presidents."

Mr. Thompson stands in line with Gladstone and Bismarck as a wellpreserved octogenarian, though he is by six .mon-ths the senior of the English statesman and by six years that of the German, and he 'has done as much exhaustive work as either otf them, and Ss today of stronger tphysique than either. It is fit that Uucle Dfck shall lead the Republicans af Indiana to support the candidacy of Major McKvnley. He is thelMtvKinley sort of man protectionists. and patriot.

In 1SS8 General Fremont, then 75 years of age. was greeted with enthusiasm as he art^sred tiipon the stags of the Auditorium during the progress of the national convention, tout in 1S96 the age of the Sage of the W*abash will be greater by twelve vears than that of the Pathfinder was in 1SSS. For each, however, there is and'forever will be an affect ionate enthusiasm in the memory of all Repubicans.—•Chicago Inter Ocean.

An Explanation of the Opposition co the Indianapolis Man at fit. Louis. Special to The Express.

Indianapolis, June 11.—In commenting upon the protest against the apfpointment tff FairbanQts as tem-porary chairsman of the St. Louis convention an unfortunate statement was made in the News this afternoon when it said: "The recognition of Mr. Fairbanks by the national committee it is pretty well understood here stirs up afresh the trouble ^between the two wings of the party—the Gowdy and the antlGowdy factions. Those representatives of the party who were opposed to the election of Gowdy as state chairman and who- have been endeavoring to oust him, are not disposed, aus a rule, to take kindy to the action of the national committee. They do not deem it prudent to make objections openly, but It is well understood that the recognition of ahe Gowd'y faction stings."

ChkunplaLn was the Standard bearer of the 16 to 1 aElverltes. while ex-Oomgre&siman O. M. Ball was selected as the candidate oif the gold delegates. State Chalnman McDermott made a brierf but running speech in calling the convention tio order, eulogizing t'he Democratic party and denwinieflmg extnavtagance in the adimfinistratton of puiblito afcairs but avoided all personal mention. P. B. Winston ft Hennepin county nominated E. T. Champlain, the silver oandidlate for dhairman and E. W. Durant of Stillwater nominated F. V. Hall, the gokl candidate. Mr. Doran seconded the nomination of Hall and explained that the vote on temporary chairman was a test otf the gold and silver strength here. E. C. Grittley of Duluith seconded the nomination of Chaanpldn, emphasizing the same point.

After a mimfoer of warm speeches covering a wide range, the vote was taken, ballot resulted In Hall receiving

The 454 out of 744 and before the Chauniplln vote oould be given the convention wefcit wild. Michael Doran finally being heard aJbove the uproaj* as he shouted: "The old man Is here yet." (It -was nearly 4 o'clock before the convention got to real work aifter dinner. The credentials committee reported before t'ha-t Jhour but the work did not begin till the platform was reported. There were two reports, eight of the committeemen favoring a gold standard •^tanK 'and six reporting a platform •made up of selections from the national Democratic platforms af 1S92. 1S84, 1876 and 1868. and 'favoring free silver coinage at 16 to 1 ratio. The debate on the matter was hot-, bitter and proflcnged. On motifon to substitute t'he minority for the majority report, the silver forces were defeated, 323 to 435. The third hard fight was on the first delegate at large, or chairman Of the delegation. The opponents of Doran selected ex-Congressman O. M. Hall as the most likely man to defeat the old leader and in the preliminary debate some very hard blows were given. The vote resulted Doran, 526 Hall. 227. lit was after this that Mr .Doran wl-th-dre'w In favor of Mr. Dawler. The delegates at large are D. W. Dawler, II. B. Winston. Chauncey Baxter and Logan Brevkenrldge.

The financial p!ank adopted is as follows "We aire unqualifiedly in favor of the present g«old standard of value. We favor the us« cf both gold and silver as mon»y and ftyelieve that our government should ooin'anfrkeep in circulation as a part of the cfrrculat:ng medium as larige ai amount of silver as can be employed without destroying or threatening to destroy the existing parity of value between the unit in gold and the unit in silver. We are opposed to a descent to monometallism and particularly to a silver monometallism with its depreciated and depreciating standard of value. We are .firmly convinced that the -free and unlimited coinage of silver 'by our government at the ratio of 16 to 1. without co-operation on the part otf the other great commercial nations of the world, would reduce this doun'try to a condition of rfilver monometallism entalltng upon us a financial panic and oomim'eirc.tal and Industrial disaster We are utterly and irrevocably opposed .to the adoption of any such policy."

Ctaioon of the house appropriations committee and ex.-Ohatnnaya Sayers to» made pubUc a joinit statement concerning the expenditures authorised by •this cttngres* discusal&g them from the Republican and Democratic standpoiats respectively. Total of a(ppropriattona ifor the session, including permanent annual appropriations is $515

753

820.49. Mr. Cannons statement begins: "The appropriations charged to this session Includes SH9.064.160 under permanent laws, of wihich amount $50,000,000 Is for sinking fund and $30,500,000 for interest on public defbts, or $3,355,614.50 more than was included at the last session of congress in the statements of appropriations and Is on account of tihe increase ot

$162,315,400 in the bonded

indebtedness of the country by the present administration up to February 1895. the interest and sinking fund charge on account of the later bond issue tt $100,000,000 In February 1898. amounting to '$4,400,000 not being Included in the estimates of permanent appropriations. The increase in the principal and interest bearing debt of the country under the present administration amounts to $262 316,400 whichi cnjtaila annual interest charge otf $11.492,016 and to-meet the sinkilng fund obligations the further sum of $2,623,154.

I«bt Reduced B.v U»rrlnoi

During the administration of Mr. Harrison the prlncEpal of the interest bearing debt was reduced $238,192,900 and the aanual interest charges $10,327,716." "The regular annual bills," said Mr. Cannon, "including deficiencies, as passed toy tbe house made a reduction in the total estimates submitted by the executive of $26,083,191 that they were Increased by the senate S23.920.442 and that as they became laws, they appropriate $10,636,684 less than as passed by the senate $12,283,818 more than as they passed the ihouse. and $13,374,373 less than tbe estimated requirmenta of the a ijmlnlst ratio n. "The regular antvrfal aiptpropriatlons, including defldencJies. made at the last session of congress amounted to $383.636,896 and included no river and har' bor bill.

Mr. Cannon critictees the treasury department because lit has expended $7.377,440 for the present year in collecting t'he revenue cuBJtoms estimated al $165,000,000 whereas, for the last fiscal year. 1892, under Harrison's a dim i.nist ration, there was collected under the MoKinley tarifr act $177,452,000 of customs revenue at a total cost of only $6,60i,. 517.

The bills establishing salaries instead of the fee system for officers of United States courts he says will save Jl.OOO.OOflr. aiwitrally and minimize frivolous and^ mallcioas prosecution, and special at-* tentlon is called Co the fact that congress made no increases of salaries of employes in the government department®.

The Co I towing taible of a-ptpropriatlons is given: Firty-tfinst congress, $99S,417,183.34 Fifty-second congress, $1,027,104,547.92 Fifty-third congress. *31*-, 239.205.69 Fifty-ifourth congress, $515,75'J,820.49. (First session).

The revenues for three fiscal years of the Harrison adiministration ending June 30, 1892, are given as $1,150,631,214 expenditures, $998,132,501 for the two complete fiscal years of Cleveland's administration. revenues. $611,112,094 expenditures, $723,720,578.

The senate organized this session by a combination af Republican and Populist votes placing uht- control of committees in the hands of t'he Republicans by its amendments "to appropriation bills as they passed the Iifni-e propo.-u"! to increase the total $22.U20.442.30.
