THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. June ii, '896. ANTE-CONVENTION NEWS, THE HALL ARRANGEMENLS ARE NOW ALL COMPLETED, TALK ABOUT PLATFORM. Cyras Leland of Kansas Strong for the Gold Standard Perry Heath, Mo Klnley's Literary Bureau Chief, Says the Indiana Plank Will be 'Adopted Utah Dele gate! for Free Silver. St. Loins, Mo., June 10. Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes and First Assistant G. N. Wiswell of Milwaukee visited the convention auditorium and decided upon a number of details, such as the stationing of inside doorkeepers and assistantsergeants-at-arms and distrib uting the force of ushers and pages. Four doorkeepers will be stationed at each door, two outside to inspect the tickets as the crowd . passes through and two inside to tear off the coupons. Each division will have four ushers. There are forty divisions in the dress circle and gallery and eleven in the space for the delegates, alter nates, national committeemen, news paper workers and notable guests. There will also be a small army oi pages and several hundred sergeants-at-arms. Chief Harrigan has promised a couple of hundred policemen, but they will take no part in the disputes until requested to do so by one or more of the colonel's assistants. A good many of the policemen will probably be at tired as private citizens and known only to the convention officials and employes. The work of the decorator of the auditorium is about finished. ' The portraits of General Grant and Ad miral Farragut were put up yester day. The great naval commander will look down on the members of the convention from the gallery railing at the east end of the hall. Directly op posite is a portrait of General Phil Sheridan, representing the army. Lincoln and Grant are on the two aides, the first almost directly over the speaker's stand and Grant at the center of the south gallery opposite. Higher than all, just above Lincoln, Is Washington. Each is surrounded by American flags. The absence of pictures and mottoes representing leaders of the Republican party of to day will De noticed. The omission was intentional. CT LKLAND TALKS AGAINST SILVKB. Cy Leland of Kansas, who is finish ing his twelfth year as National com mitteeman, is here. Regarding Mc Kinley and the money plank he said: 'He is for sound money gold, if you please and whatever silver is needed. He is as much opposed to this 16 to 1 heresy as he is to free trade." . "Then there will be no concessions made to the silver men from the West, such as Senators Dubois, Teller and the chairman of your National com mittee, Senator Carter, demand?" - "None whatever. Those fellows will take what we give them, and if they don't like it they can bolt, that is all there is to it. In fact, I expect to see some of them bolt. And what if they do? It won't affect the sue cess of our ticket in the least We can easily do without them, with New York and New Jersey and we've got a cinch ou those states and Connecti cut, too." " P. H. Lannen, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, arrived to-day with National Committeeman Salisbury of Utah. Both are for free silver and will advocate a plank of that char acter for the platform. "It would be folly for any one man to say what the convention will do on the money question," said Lannen, "but I am confident that it will not declare for a single gold standard. Neither do I think that the platform will declare for free silver. I am not pretending to say what the convention will or will not do, but it is my honest opinion that the money plank will be of a character that the free silver men of the party can stand on it." De Young and Salisbury, who were both present while Lannen was talk ing, concurred in what he said. Powell Clayton of Arkansas is here " and favors a single gold standard platform. E. A. Webster, who is at the bead of a contested delegation from South Carolina, arrived to-day. The oppos ing delegation will be led by E. M. Brayton, national committeeman from that state. TALKS ABOUT THB PLATFORM. W. S. Manning of Albany, N. Y., who claims to be a close friend of McKinley, said that McKinley was for a gold standard and Teller would have to bolt He referred to the speech ef McKinley in Chicago, Feb ruary 12, in favor of sound money and said that McKinley's views as ex pressed then would be followed. Perry Heath. McKinley's literary "bureau chief, declared that radical sentiment on both sides had toned down considerably in the past few days, and the Indiana platform would probably be made the basis of the plank. Congressman W. S. Linton, the A. P. A. leader, will be here, but no or ganized effort will be made to defeat McKinley. There will be a fight, however, against Roman Catholic national committeemen. F. B. Brownell, the Missouri Repub lican leader, declares that Kerens and Frank went to Canton, Ohio, to see McKinley in order to try to get him to help them out 01 their troubles. He does not believe that McKinley will . interfere with Missouri matters. Fil ley refused to believe that MeKiniey had sent for Kerens. The Kerens Filley fight has been taken befcre the McKinley managers here and is mak ing much trouble. Iowa Millionaire Dead. Lyons, Iowa.JunelO. W. J. Young, the millionaire lumberman and phil anthropist, died here yesterday. COLOR LINE AT ST. LOUIS. No Place for Negro Delegate to Eat or Sleep. St. Loots, Ma, June la Every ho tel &b3 boarding house and cafe came out ftatfooted yesterday and declared it would entertain no negro as a guest or customer. Money is no object Threats of prosecution have had no effect, and from the present outlook it would seem that unless tents are secured, the black men will have to go hungry and unhoused. "I am thoroughly disgusted and discouraged," said National Commit teeman J. G. Long of Florida, in speaking of the matter. "I have been looking all day long for a hotel, boarding bouse or cafe that would admit the negroes, but it has been a fruitless search. I even went so far as to try to charter a steamboat, but when the owners learned for what purpose I wanted it they fonnd an ex cuse for retusing me the use of the vessel. It is the only time in the his tory of the Republican party when such an embarassing predicament has arisen." Late last night some of the mem bers of the local committee said the whole matter would be settled to the satisfaction of all the colored dele gates. All of them, the committee men said, would be respectably cared for and comfortably housed and fed. SAENCERFEST OPENED. President Cleveland Presses the Button and the Great Festival Begins.

REED COUNTS li QUORUM THE SPEAKER SQUELCHES DEADLOCK . SCHEME. A DEMOCRATS HAD TO VOTE Members of the Minority Absent Them selves for a Time, but Are Brought in by Officers Four Who Re fused to Vote Counted by the Speaker as Present but Not Voting. Washington, June 10. When the House reconvened this morning at 10 o'clock the legislative day of Satur day was still in existence. There was a fair attendance of Republicans, but less than half a dozen Democrats were upon the floor. This was the result of the determination of the majority to consider the contested election case of Aldrich vs. Underwood. Mr. Mc- Millen of Tennessee, in explanation of the absence of members on his side, said that the Democrats did not con aider it to be their duty to attend the closing hours of the session to help furnish a quorum for the purpose of unseating another Democrat The pending question was the mo tion' to lay on the table a motion to reconsider the vote by which the House decided to consider the election case. The vote resulted vh to 31, n being present and declining to vote. This made a total of 145 present, 34 less than a quorum. In order to break the deadlock which confronted the majority a call of the House was ordered, the doors were closed and the sergeant-at-arms was directed to bring in absentees. The Tucker rule adopted at the be' ginning of the session was invoked for the first time, it compelled memDers brought in by the sergeant-at-arms to vote on the pending question. The motion was carried 130 to 45. The Speaker counted four members as present, but not voting. Mr. McMuiin attempted to make the point of order that the report in the election case was not signed by a majority of the members of the com mittee and therefore did not consti tute a question of privilege. The chair ruled that, if the point of order had merit, it came too late, as the House had decided to consider tbe case. Mr. Daniels of New York claimed that Underwood had 1,156 majority on the face of tbe returns. Fraud and intimidation were charged and the majority found that Aldrich received in fact a majority of 220. The minor ity admitted that the returns were in correct, but claimed that the corrected returns still gave underwood 1,038 majority. On a rising vote the House voted 100 to 6C to unseat Underwood. NO EXTRA SESSION. Governor Stone Declines to Accede to Mayor Wal bridge's Request. Jeffurson City, Mo., June 10. Gov ernor Stone this morning gave out a letter which he sent to Mayor Wal bridge of St Louis in which he de clined to call an extra session of the legislature to give the city power to issue bonds to rebuild its public insti tutions. In the letter he said: "According to my information the hospital is the only eleemosynary building demolished by the storm. If any other institution of that charac ter was injured, tbe damage was very slight and can be repaired at a com paratively nominal outlay. The hos pital was an old building, whose value was not such as to make its loss a mat ter of serious concern. The loss of life incident to its fall is to be la mented, but the destruction of the building itself cannot be regarded as a calamity. Its loss has occasioned some inconvenience, and no doubt will continue to for some time to come. I think it safe to assume, however, that quarters can be secured for hos pital purposes, ample for present uses, and substantially as good as those provided for in the old build ings; and that this can be done with out seriously embarrassing tbe cur rent revenues of the city. The ques tion then resolves itself into this shall the general assembly be con vened at a probable cost to the people of $50,000 to 875,000, merely to pro pose a constitutional amendment to be voted on in November, under the terms of which the city may issue bonds to provide extraordinary funds to construct a new city hospital, and to remodel and newly equip other eleemosynary institutions of the municipality? I am inclined to agree with you that these public institutions are not commensurate with the im portance of your city." Oregon's Congressmen Republicans. Portland, Ore., June 10.
