The Coming National Convention. ST. Louis, Mo.. June IJ.— Ex-Sen stor Thomas C. I'latt of Now York said this morning: “Under no circum stances will (iovernor Morton accept the nomination for the Vu-e Presi dency. We have come here for the Presidency, nothing else.-’ “In ail my life,” declared Mr. Piatt, “I never heard of a more high handed proceeding. The single purpose of the national committee appears to be to exclude from participation In the proceedings of the convention all per sons who have not been for McKinley since the beginning of the Presiden tial contest. 'Die test applied Is not ‘la this contestant’s cause just, or upon what facts docs be found his claim?' but, ‘Is this contestant or that contestee for McKinley?' If he is, in he goes, if lie is not, out he is kicked. This cannot but be a confes sion of the inherent weakness of the McKinley movement. Otherwlsa, why is it found necessary to deprive good men and good Republicans, hon estly and fairly chosen to be delegatee to this convention, of their right to share in its deliberations and aid in the establishment of Its judgment? 1 shall appeal to the convention itself for a reconsideration of tlia commit tee’s action. Such gross abuse of au thority shall not go uncontested. They are riding rou^h shod over everything. The question of a man's title to a seat is not considered on its merit,*, out as to ms position on ('res idential candidates, Mr. ilulin. the member of the committee from Ohio, hus declared that the only question involved in these contests is whether or not the mun is for McKinley, and that line of policy is what New tork objects to." "A* for the New York contest*,' i’latt declared, "they must lie settled in favor of the regular delegations. There are twelve of them J do not now assume lhat they must be all so settled, but refer more particularly to that arising in the Twelfth district in New York city." In the district to which Platt re ferred, Cornelius Bliss and S. V. B. Cruger appear as contestees and How ard Carroll and T. W. Barnes as Platt contestant*. "If Bliss and Cruger are seated,” Platt contiuued, with tight drawn pursing of his lips, "the delegation from the stale of New York will march out of the convention hall.” Platt paused a moment and added, as if lie had mentally pictured the re sult to himself, "the place assigned to the New York delegation in the con vention will look like a big hole with a rim arounu it. The result will be the same if an unjust decision la reached in the Thirteenth district.” In the contest from the Thirteenth district referred to hy Platt, William S. Brookfield and Anson (i McCook, anti-Platt men, are the contesteqi:., and John Reisenweber and Alexander T. Mason the Platt contestants. Platt made it as unmistakably clear in bis manner as in his speech, that he and his would bolt. There was every suggestion of sincerity It is learned from members of the national committee, none the less, that In all probability the six Platt men will be thrown out and the other men placed on the temporary roll. When what Platt had said was re ported to Mr. Hanna he declined to discuss the matter in anv wav. “I snail not get excited over this even it Mr. Platt said it,” he remarked, and when assured that Mr. Platt hud made the remark, he was not dis VUI ucu. One of Platt's friends stated em phatically that the position of Mr. Piatt was that in case six regularly elected delegates in New York should be unseated, there would be sixty more delegates who would walk out of the convention. This view is contro verted by some of the delegates from New York now on the ground, who say that there are from twenty-five to thirty delegates from New York who are ardent McKinley men and cannot be expected to follow Platt in any such move. Members of the nutional committee think the talk of a New York bolt is wholly for t he purpose of the intlu euce it may have on the decision of contests yet to be decided.

Russell Brown of Rhode Island is a member of the league in good standing and hla friends will put him forward as the right man to combine with McKinley on the national ticket. E. A. MoAlpin of New York la president of the league, and naturally his friends are anxious to see him honored. McAlpin is adjutant genera! on the staff of Governor Morton of New York, and the argument will be advanced that bis nomination would please Morton. Governor Morton seems to be the choice of the national committee among all the New York candidates, and if he would accept the nomination there is some reason to believe that the Vice Presidency would beheld out to him by the powers that be, provided that Platt's consent could be secured. The friends of Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey claim that Quay is com mitted to him. and there are surface indications that give probability to this story. Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania is also freely mentioned. The boom of H. Clay Evans of Ten nessee has grown to a great size. Evans himself lias made no effort to secure second piace on the McKinley ticket. He lias other plans in view, which would make his acceptance of the Vice Presidential nomination im possible. Another man spoken of for second place on the ticket is M. H. lie Young of i alifornia. He is a strong favorite among the free silver men of the West He has done nothing himself toward securing the ulace, but his numerous friends in the West have done a good deal of hustling.

Hanna himself tills morning It is as follows: "The Republican purty is in favor of a protective tariff system which will not only afford adequate protection to American industries, but which will also produce revenue in excess of ex penditures, and tints solve the (lnan ciai problem. We, tho people of the country, are satisfied with the cur rency as it now exists. It Is the con viction of the Republican purty that the money of the nation should be as good as that of the most enlightened nation* of the world and should pus* current in tue markets of the world.” Henry Cabot Lodge, who is talked of for chairman of the comm ttoe on platform and resolutions, has tele graphed to Murray Crane,!lie national committeeman from Massachusetts,to rally the friends of the gold standard, lie said that no evasion would be tol erated, and that a struddle would be lisgraccful.

Senator Gear of Iowa does not be lieve the Republican platform will de clare for gold. Asked what lie thought would be the result If the Republicans should declare for gold, he said: “I don't suppose anything about It. 1 should not like to see my opinion on that point appear In orint." Reed Out of the Kaee. St. Louis, Mo.. June 12.—Mr. Man ley of Maine said yesterday afternoon; ‘‘In my Judgment the convention will nominate Governor McKinley on the flrst ballot for the presidency. It is useless to attempt to deny that this will be the result. The action of the National committee in its overwhelm ing vote on the Alabama caaes settles conclusively how the respective States which the members of the committee represent, will vote in the convention. ‘‘Mr. Reed’s name will be presented to the convention and he will be voted for, and 1 am authorised to say that under no conditions or circumstances can he or will he accent the notnina ,lon for vice president, if it should be tendered to him. The great majority of the Now England delegates will be loyal to Mr. Reed, but it is evident that the convention is for McKinley and will nominate him.” While the declaration of Mr. Man ley contained nothing that has not been looked for for many weeks, yet it caused a flutter of excitement when It was known the manager of Mr. Reed had announced there was no further hope among the leaders of the forces of the man from Maine. Other supporters of Mr. Reed said the decla ration would cost Mr. Reed at least half of the votes that would have been cast for him bad nothing of the kind been said, and several of Reed’s sup porters asserted the declaration of Mr. Manley ought to he followed by a statement from Reed that his name would not be presented, so those who were yet under obligations to vote for him would be releas'd. It is said that in the face of oertain and admitted defeat, delegates could not be expected to vote for Reed, and that probably all of New Hampshire, all of Rhode Island and all but one in Connecticut wauld be cast for Mc Kinley, even if Reed’s name was pre sented. There are some delegations from the Mouth which will also climb into the swiftly rolling hand wagon, although they have been instructed foi Reed. It was also stated that the declaration of Mr. Manley would weaken the otbei candidates, aa It would be sure to influence the waver ing to vote for McKinley. Senator Hear, who Is representing Iowa on the national committee said that notwithstanding the declaration of Mr. Manley, Seuator Allison’s name would be presented to the con vention and voted for. YV. A Suther land, member of the national com mittee from New York, and who is the only prominent representative of tiovernoi Morton’a interests in M Louis said: "Uovernor Morton will be fire sen tail to the convention and we iop« to nominate him " There was no one in tit.

The so-called “narrow gagers”believe the party will be more than doubled on account of having a single dominant issue. The “broad gagers” are Just ss confident of recruits because their platform invites voters who are dominated by the “free silver” and various other issues. Kach wing of the party will undoubtedly remaiu loyal to prohibition and the cause will not suffer if each column of the divided army multiplies in numbers and keeps in motion to flank the enemy. At the opportune time they will unite again to march on to victory. The division brought about by blunder may indeed prove good strategy. Let all who de sire the destruction of the saloon take new courage. Prohibition is marching on. Republicans and democrats and oth ers who have heretofore said they were in favor of prohibition but could not vote with the party because it favored woman suffrage, free trade, or some other measure that they could not en dorse, will now have no cause or pre text of that kind to keep out of the Prohibition column noftr advancing as directed by the single dominant issue banner. And others who deem “free silver,” a “protective tariff,” or some other issue just as essential to the po litical snlvation of the country as pro hibition of the liquor traffic, may now consistently join the “broad gauge” wing of our party that has a banner and a shiboleth for each one of the di visive issues that seems to have made it necessary for the party to divide their forces and to advance strategetically in order to route the enemy and to gain possession of the White House and the reins of government and to rescue the nation from the blighting curse and domination of the rum power to which all other parties now make abject obeisance.
