Like Virginia, he ?©aid, Ohio (pro-posed to be the motner ,£1 president^ and' she ,was ready -with 'her man for the present occasion. The remainder of the governor's speech was devoted to the question of protection. he 'tvaJs (followed by ex-Congressman 'iWm. E. Mason of Chicago, who started put witih the statement that tomorrow She Republicans oif the country wouiDd 'meet to nominate a, president of the

United States. The audience sent up a terrific shout ifor the man from Ohio. -'Why don*t you speak aScvut silver?" 'inqhzred a voice. "Silver," said Mr. iMiason, in response, "is a -great issue jbetfween Democrats and—'Demoorats."

Mr. ilfason said the party of Lincoln had alwiayfc sltood for an 'hJonest ^doHar as constantly as it had stood for* the Monroe doctrine. No Republican -congrelss ever haid "been or ever would be lor the free and unttmited- coinage at copper, silver, nickel or gold or any other metal, exoe/pt at its intrinsic value. I't had been said that MicKinley was a man of one idea. "Then," he added, "the gentlemen twho made this statement never heard tMfcffiCinley speak on the doctrine of reciprocity, the question oif finance and certainly oould not have heard him in hfis masterful lead'ershJp on the .floor of the house when the FJftiy-tfirst conlgress adopted the Reed rul-eis. But assuming ^tor the sake of t'he argument that these intellectual Slants are correct and he i's a man of -Sne Idea, it is a miglhty good idea. It (te the Republican idea, better than all hat it is an American idea.

Worth Its Face In Gold.

Conigres'ilmian Grosvenor, of Ohio, said en attamlptt was being made to blind the taJues of the campaign by the introduction of the silver question but the American people were nott to be deceived. "What they wanted in the money line was the American dollar. The greenback dollar had no symptoms of debiliity about it, for it was 'Worth its face in g^old. lit was a Reipublican dollar, (fought for, legislated for and won by ithe Republicans, and what was wanted •was the •projection of American industry represented by Governor McKinl'ey, •which would put more of them in the pockets of'the American workingman. (Cheers.)

Referring to the silver question, Mr. Grosvenor declared the mine owners demand a dolilaT wilth 50 cents of the white metal. P. £. Woodman'see, of Ohio, exipresldemt of the Union League Clubs, spoke of MicKinley as "Ithe advance agent oif prosperity." Speaking for Missouri, Webster DaJvis, of Kansas City, sai'd Missouri and Missouri Republicans •were all right and for that reason they were for MbKinley. A reference by Governor Bushnell.to H. Clay Evans as a vice presidential candidate was received with applause.

VETERANS GET TICKETS.

Five Hundred G. A. K. Men to be Admitted to the Convention. St. Louis, Mo., June 15.—Win. H. Armstrong, of Indianapolis led a winnung flight betfore a conference of the nationel esotaimitteernen yeSterdiay afternoon over the distribution of the 500 convention admission ticlketk set aside for the exclusive members of the G. A. R. Ten days ago the chairman o:f the busine'sls men's commlit'tee oif this city nloti'fle'd Comirrfander-i n-Ch ieif Walker, at Indianapolis, that the tickets would toe turned over to him 'for distribution. Commander Walker declined to 'take the responsibility, and laipipointed three "Oif 'the mem/bens of the executive council to make the distribution—William H.Artnvst.rong, o£ Indianapolis P. M. S'terrett, of this city, and Thoinas H. 'Scott, of Illinois'. Whein this committee got together here it discovered that the members of the national committee were ^objecting to the tickets 'being distributed in thai way.

It had been practically decided among the members of the national committee that they would take charges of these tidkets themselves. There was a pro/test from the representatives of the G. A. R., who succeeded .in getting a hearing yesterday aifternoon. An investigation showed t'hat there were tout one Guand Army man on the national committee, and the committee appointed by Colonel Walker raised the point that if the tiakets went to the members of the national committee but few of them would And their way inito the hands jDlf veterans of the war. It seemed to t'he G. A. R. oomtiriittee a scheme on the part o'f the nationial committeemen to gat possession of •thelse tickets for political friends. 'Mr. Armstrong and the other members of the G. A. R. committee made such a strong plea that it was finally decided to let the distribution be made in the way indicated by the comman er-m-tch ef.

At 7 o'clock last nigfrt Mr. Armstrong slipped into the side door o'f the Planters' with a big bundle oif tickets under his arm. His Committee he said had decided to pro-rate tthe tickets among the states according to the number oif Grand Army men enrolled. The ticket's •for each state were to be put into the V|""rl: gt repuJtiaJble Grand Army man, who .knew the ve-terans (from his state. "There1 is ofcly aibout one ticket tfor every one thoifeand G. A. R. men tin the country," said Mr. Armstrong, "but that is better than we ever fared before. It is the flr&t tiiwe we -have (been recognized, anld we came near getting left this time." Indiana gets twentythree of these titlkats. There are coupons 'flor teach setsfsion,

WALLACE TO BE HONORED.

Iiooks Now as If the Soldier-Author Would Be On the Committee. iSlt. Louiis, June 15.—It looks today as if Indiana might go into the convention toim'orrow in pretty good humor, arotwithsltianidling how representatives have •been disposed to quarrel a good deal ever sin/ce they arrived here. The Fairbanks incident had juslt passed, when 'the sitafte found itself in an embarrassinig position over the designation of a member of the commvilttee on resolutions. I't was the original intention that Charles W. Fairbanks -should be the memlber oif the commi-tltee, but after his e'lefcti'on as temiporary •dhairman of the Convention had been decided upon, the powers that be decided' that General Lew Wallace was the proper man for (the committee.

A'tfter this had been decided upon, Chairman Gowdy approached General Lew Wallace and imforimed him tbalt he (Gowdy) intenlded to recommend him for the committee. The manner in •which Wallace received the state chairman offended a good many of Mr. Gowdy's friends, who immediately ann'ounce'd Ithalt if Wtallaioe was so particular he need not expect to go on the com-mi-tltee. About this time it came to light that General Wallace had written a plaitifonm and had constructed a money plan'k thalt had in it the Word "gold."

This was disaptpolnting to those Ind'ianians who had been endeavoring for 'flour or five days to convince the representatives oif the party here that the Indiana plank, which om'iltis the word "igotd," »a.s the p'lank that ought to be aidtopted by the convention. The word •was passed around that if General TVallace pers'listed in submitting the plank he had prepared he oould not go on the .oamnroi't/tee. Yesterday afternoon it seemeli definitely settled that Hiram Bitownlee, the alternate at large, who is to oteicupy Charles W. Fairbanks' seat in the convention, was to be the member of the commii'tltee on resolutions, instead of General Lew Wallace. The movement Itfo place Mr. Brownlee on the committee was without his knowledige or consent, arJd' was embarrassing to him for several reasons, one of which was that he is here a® the guest of General Walla'oe, and is ocoutpyiftg the same room with him.

All yesterday afternoon and until late last nigbt the representatives of the state contended about what should be •done. The McKinley peoiple were firm in their fltand that unless General Wallace laid aside his "gold" platform he •oould not go on the oomlmittee. Mr. Brownlee did not state yesterday that It-he word "gold" ought to be in the pla'tlfonm. "But what is the use of making the platifonm unnecessarily offensive to our free silver -f-riendJs? said he, when the Indiana plrfnk will answer the purpose juat as .well. It is a clean-cut declaration for sound money, and it gives us a chance -to catch our breath.

THE FINANCIAL PLANK.

It Is Causing the McKlnley Men a Whole rot of Uneasiness. •St. Louis, June 15.—On. the eve of the convention there is no change at the McKinley headquarters, except in the platform talk and that is limited tto the financial plank. The nomination of MbKinley before th'e first ball'ot is completed is eltill claimed with confidence. Buit it is contce-ded t'h-ait Ohio will gat to cast her forty-six solid votes before the tally shows the necessary 460. It is believe dv however,, by the McKinley men that the nomination will be made unanimous before the result is announced.

Wlhile holding all in line, the McKinley list was increased by the action on 'the contelsits of the national comamtitee for the temperary roll. Today it was increased at the meeting of the £ita$e delegation®, especially in New "iork and Kentu'cfky, so that the MteKinley men have raised their figures from 640 to 660. And they consider it a solid volte. Th'e only troufbfe around MicKinley headquarters is on t'he wording o'f the financial pltank. There is no diffei-ence of opinion on any of the other resolutions so far as the agitation of today is concerned. I(t has had a drift toward' '"the existing gold standard" among MfcKinley's Ohio frlendis, and it is ge-herally believed thait the word "gold" will go into the platform. So strong has been this tendency that some were waiting a modification of the keynote speech of Temporary Chairman Fairbanks, as it was understood that he did .not wanit a gold sitandard keynote in the phraseology, but that he expressed the idea of the Indiana platform, and the conservative declaration heretofore known, to meet with favor with Mr. H-anna, and other Ohio delegates.

SUSPICIOUS OF GOLD.

Illinois Delegates Say the Farmers Don't Like the Word. St. Louis, June 15.-^For three hours tiMs afternoon the -Illitn'ois 'dSeilegaiton struggled Ih a discus'stan' over a money, resolution. It contained the "wordls ".goUtt stand,artl," and- it 'Was-this whBdh caused the content'ton. The mfembeirs from southern XlUincis wam'ted no m-e.nr-tiion made o'f gold. The fajimeris an that portion oif the state were sus-'piicious •of any men tton ma-d^ oif gold. They said they thought 'it sav-oreld of Wall street. The ircslut'ion laid'-o-pt-eid read js 'follows: "Resolved, That thie .re'prefs.mtaiti-ves of

!the

Illinois d'etogiat'tan on oommittee on resolutions shall -"be requested to advocate a resolution 'whiiich shall .explicitly declare in fa-vcr of tihe existing gold standia'rld and i.n .favor of the use of stiver to the extent onily 'thia-t its parity with gold can be maiintai-neid. "We 'favor a declaration- for the "further coinage oif silver wheintever an agreiement for its use by the leadiinig commercial nation® of the world cain tbe a.rrh"ed at, but we 'are unalterably opposed to tlbe free cotoage of silver under the ipresemt conditions."

A motion was made to strike out 'the •word "go»d" preceding tihe 'word "stajid^ard." Wli'il-iam Penn Nixon, editor oif the Inter Ocean, saiid the. Republican party did not want a world 'albout gold in its platform. It would be .disastrous. The phinase, "present .gold standlard," he said, was too indefinite. It would injure the party strength among the fatrmerls and l-a'bor element. R. W. Patterson oif fhe Chicago Tribune said that if tlh-a "woiild "goldT* should 'te C-ct?t out it w«uld ibe conspicuous toy itis absence. Thieipartyiw.oiu5'dl'be accus.eidb^ cowardiice* It should come out in a square, manfiy 'fash'ion and let 'tihe people lonow iw'he're it stood. "If 'we 'shrink," he concluded, "we are lost we are for gold and let -us gay so." .Nearly every member o'f tihe delegation spoke, but on a rCH call vote the motion lost 40 to 8. The foll-ciwlmg iresoJu'ticn was also adapted: "'ResoTved, That .protection and reciprocity should be. made the paramount issue elf the campaign and should be given 'first prominence Ln the platform as the gre.i't amid ifuntlamental principle of tihe Republican party. There was some opposition Co the selection of iD-r. T. N. Jai3i«son for national committeeman. He led the -fight in' the IK-imiods s'ta!ce c^nvemtion a^-afnsfc instructing the -delegates ior McKinley. The McKinley leaJders in the state opposed him. but he was elected. General Richard J. Oglesby, three 'times governor and twice Unft€ld States sejua:tor from H'ino-ils, was ChO^an cnalrmain. The folloiwing is the onganizatiwr of t-he delegation: Richard J. OglesJby, chairman Dr. T. N.

ABOUT THE LOBBIES.

Striking Banners and Inscriptions—Sliver Men In Consnltation. Sit. (Louis', June 15.—The Presid/enitmiakera aiwoke today to a dreary drizzle of rain, which feTl like a wet blanket over the g-au'dy Street d'eiooration3 and repressed! whatever tendency there m/ight have been to d-eunonstrative enthixsiasmi of the ^ont Which on the day ibelfore oropped out sufficiently to give an oldnfelme Convenltlon air to the city. There were no brass ibands In evidence, nor any marching fior shoultei®, the delegations and clubs which had pulled inlto the depots during the early hours •preferring to remain on their trains or take to the street cars, rather than manoh over the imudbd'y pavements. About the corridors of the big hotels stale -cigar smoke hung heavily,* and citizens, from back states', who had forgotten to go to ibed, rubbed their eyes and looked albout .for the arrival of the leaders, who were late in making their appearance ait the headquarters otf the states.

An early Sltroke, of enterprise was to be seen at the 'iH-oitel corridors, where colored mien dieposited several bales of posters,* eamiples- of which- they proceeded! to paste on every available space. These posters were- of an a gigrpssive yel'l'Otw hue, which caught the eye from a distance, and their, flaming red letters announcer that "We're for gold." T'he MiasSachuls'dtlts men have res'orfted to this SFkectacular device to imlp-res's .their flnanci!al views upon the convention, intending also to placard the -toiwn. •with their announcement, and to keep in cincnilaltion the banner wilth the In-aori-ption, "Soiild as .Golfd fior Reed Solid as Reed for Gold

The reverse .of^the flnanci-al picture iwias furnafehed'-byi the silver men, who iwere among the earliiest to gather in the labibies otf the Planten3', retreating to an aldove, where a dozen of them draw their chairs into a circle for consultation. In the group were Hartmann of Montana, a congressman and also a dielagaJte. Towne of Minnesota, another member of congress, who carries no convention credentials, but came, a free lance, to forwaild*t'he oautee of the white metal, although his state delegation is pled'geft to goM Bryan, the Nebraska Democrat, one Of the silver wheel horses of the last congress, who stands very close to ©land, as well as sundry lesser •lights.

While turning a cool face to the intervlawer at this, stage of their campaign, the silver men indorse the declaration by .Hartmann, 'that "we want ithem to be right or to be honest," which, froml the silver point of vieiw, beats the interpretation that the convention is desired to make a 16 to 1 'free coinage pfenk, or ito adopt the single gold standard. Their early morning efforts were turned to the conversion of several delegates whose m'oney .predilections still bear an interrogation point. Mr. Towne doubts the ability of the Republicans to poll anything approaching their normal majority in Minnesota on any plaitifonm that does not do..something for silver.

JUST A RIPPLE.

Bat It Served to A^rm McKinley Men toho Have Been Congratulating Themselves. St. Doulis, June. If-—The first threat of a ripiple to mar the s-mooth march |oward the nomd'naifcibn o'f IVtajor MIoKinley came late "ton^ht -in the shape of a report that ri£e Missouri delegation, owfing allegiance to Chauncey I. Fill y, had determined to break- away from McKinley to Re«d The first report was that five delegates-haJd -signed an agiee-m-ent tto vote for Reed while othersjvere preparing to dodikeiwrse, The deY_e^j"P" ment grew out iof the defeat of Pilley for the pos't of na.tional cammitt'eam.an at to day Is meeting of the Missouri delegatton. The bitter ftg^t JTa.^ ^^n waged (befween the" factions of^issc^ri Republicans led by iR. C. Kerens and Ohauncey I. Filley, oulmi'nated at &t. Jloseph. Mo., uMay 12*11, when -Filley swept everything before* him in the state convention. Since then the Kerens wing has worked upon the district delegations and today on a seoret ballot Filley was deffea'ted. Since the meeting otf the Missouri «ct^atitn all sorts of rumors have been afloat but investigation fails to cfonifirm them. It has been developed, however, that- tremendous pressure i's being brought to bear «on "The old man," as he is called to desert the MbKinley banner. Mr. Filley,whfen seen tonight re/fused to discuss the matter, sayling in his characteristic way: "I have nothing to say."

The Merchants' League tCkib paraded the streets tonight chetrtu* loudly for Reed. Thils is a strictly Filley organization and may have had something more than bitter feeling to urge .them on.

Chairman Gowdy'n Nose.

The Indiana headquarters were opened this morning. They are in parlor "B," second floor of the Planters' Hotel. But few states have (better headquarters..

Charles W. Fairbanks, who got in yesterday morning, is attracting much 'attention. There is a general desire on the part of the representatives o.f mc.*/ states to see the young Indianian who was selected by MioKinley to call the convention to order. He kept himself? close to his room yesterday afternoon, as he was engaged in putting the finishing touches oh his speech, but today he was out betfore 7 clock, and was cordially received wherever he went. He is pointedJoiSt everywhere as the temporary chairman and the next senator from Indiana. Having written the Indiana

money

pfca'nk, Mr. Fairbanks is

naturally doing ?di he can to have it inserted in the .national platform. William R. McK-een, the other candidate for senator,'is also here. He is staying at the Southern, and has not taken any part in the rumpses in^ which the Indianians at. the Planters' ha*---been engaged.

The venerable Richard W. Thompsop,who is to be the chairman of the Izuliana delegation, has received a royal' welcome, especially from those older

representatives of the piarty who have «eem him at so many conventions- He is harboring his strength,- and does' not attempt to circulate in the crowded lobbies.

Indiana is mot nearly so well represented (here as it was at £ihioago in 1888 or Minneapolis in 1892, but there are a great -many people from the state here. They have,, been coming in rapidly today. The congressmen are nearly all here, all the delegates are safely quartered, and. most of the state comimitteemen are on the ground. The Columbia Club of Indianapolis is scheduled to arrive this evening, and the Indiana people are preparing tt turn out and receive W

Chaiiman jGowdy, who has been" suffering froim a large peach-colored boil on the eita of Ms nose, is a good deal better today. He Was in toed most of the day yesterday, and it was feared he would have to leave for home.

The albsenee otf General Harrison's picture in the Indiana headquJarters is' noted by representatives of other states. There are a good many pictures of the exrpresident in windows in the downtown district.

The coimmi/ttee alPiPOiiintments included: Nattioinial committeeman, M. S. .Quay resolutions, S. Memicy 'Darilinigitcin. The caucus affirm^id the .monetary •s-tandiard adlopted by t.he .s'Jate convention in- favor of a 'golid standard. The only fight was that made aigai:.nst Quay by the MtoKinJley mien, -the vote on all other poinds lbe!i/ng unanimous.

iThe

declared in fa-vor of the existing monetary standard'. There is a deadlock "in "tihe £)istrict of Coluimlbia ^dftliegation over the rivalry of Perry H. Carson and Andrew Gleasfon. These two delegates'hatre the honor of all "the positions and offices given each (Delegation/ Both -Wish to be members o* the .comim-it'cee on resolutions, and national camun'iftteam'ah. Perry Carson ha© been the national committeeman fbr yeiirs,' .and is still in the field. Gleasoii wants hisipjape, and as the vote on every ballot has stood one and one there has been no election.

The South Carolina delegation declared for sound money today and instructed the members on resolutions to so vote in the convention.' The delegation, however, made no attempt to define. .......

The Kansas delegation adopted the money plaifk of the Indiana platform, as ilts standard. There were but three voltes against, and Dr. C. A. Swenson, the memtber of the platform committee, was directed' to use his influence toward having it incorporated in the national platifonm as the money plank. It is as follows'.'We are firm and emphatic in our deimand for.honesit money. We believe, t&at our money should not be inferior to the money of the most enlightened nations of the earth. We are una'tterabty opposed, to* every achi'.me thalt threatens to debase or depreciate our currency. We favor -the use of silver a.s currency, buit to the extent only and under such.r^jlations that its parity .wfi'h gold cah be maintained, and in consequence are opposed to the free, unlimited and: icdeipendent coinage of silver at a ra%t of 16 to 1."

Reeci'u Manaffern ConHdent. The ma-»aig«TS of the Reed campaign held a conference tonighit to .balance their aJcceainfts of votes: When they finished ait mid-night, Congressman J. F. A-Vlrichrof Chicago, said: "The Reed me# are greatly encouraged by the day's developments. We calculate that Mr. Reed will011 145 votes at the start. We have telegraphed for'a lot ofReed supporters who Ijad intended to stay at home, as'king them to come here at once, lifwe had another week and thd Reed •sentiment, continued to grow as it has today we could win on the flr3t ballot."

Two possible defections on which the Reed men are pinning hopes are from

the Indiana and Missouri delegates. One of Reed's managers ^aid thaf they believed tha* diseaisfai^tiou with the selection of Fairbanks for chairman would enafble them to divide ^he Indiana delegation with McKinley.

GREAT MEN .TALKING. jr—

What Republican Politician*, Think of the Situation. St. liouis, June 15.—The following declarations under the personal signatures of .leaders was issued tonighit to represent the concensus of ^utdgpment wwth-in twelve hours of the assewSbflng of thi oonvenition: ^ilbrton's name will go before the convention as an exponent of gold. The issue beiag fou^ht'ton^iht'ii for a gold standard, there will be" no cessation of that fight unitil the plirttPortm is adoqpfted. We'll keep screw* on Hanna until he defines his position or the convention defines it for him.—-Thomas C. Plaitlt." '"MicKinley will have enough voltes long -before the firs it roll call is ended. I have kept in fairly good touth ••with Hanna and never heard hiim say anything unfavorable to the gold standard. If the convention proclaims for sCund money that is all that is necessary. I wtxulfl not be surprised to see the Convention nominate Holbart for vice presidenlt.—^Warner Miller." "'I't wouta nC.t be proper for me to say anything tonight ifU'Dther than I believe goods senise in this convention will be used in framing the, financial plank, assuring to the business men of the coumtry.—Chaumoeir M. pepew." "The American (people are intelligent, and cannot be deceived. There should ibe no albtetaapt to evade the direct issue. —Henry M. Teller." "We should declare for currency, •whether goldv silver, paper of equal value, good all over the world, and determined by a standard prevailing in great oomlmercial nations of the world Which ulse gold standard. We4 should •refuse the free and unlimltedj coinage of silver unitil by international agreement all the great nations shall fix one standard, one raitio. Rue we should promise the people to use all our power, anld influence to bring about such an agreeon-en't upon such a. basi^.—C. H. Grosvenor." "The Sentiment of* the convention is ovenwhelm'i-ngly hosltile to the free and unlimited! coinage oif silver. I hope !there may be not only positive declaraitionj against the free and' unl-toited Coinage of'silver, buit positive indorsement o'f gold standard.—W. O. Bradiley."

The MicKinley men among the gold eitanidiard force's are considerably concerned over t'he "story which gained: circulation to the effect that Hanna threw .his influence against declaration for gold.

Ht ig conceded on all hands that Hanna is to be chairman of the national commititee, if he will aoce(pt. He has not yet signified his a cce.pt a nee in explicit itermB, but said enough to convince his willingness to asisulme the duties of the place. The selection of a national chairman Is aliways left to the presidential Candidate. Senator GalMger's name has been mentioned in connection- with the chairmanship, but will probably not be •pressed: if Hanna is a candidate.1

Wise and others were coniferrtng with Senator Foraker, urging Mr» to insist on the committee having gold put in the platifonm.
