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.

ACCUSED OF TREACHERY
Rafrl Mug chare* Mania? With 11*tray
In? Th*lr Chief.
St. Louis, June Id.—When Joseph
H. Manley of Maine, Speaker Heed’s
acknowledged manager, made hia
statement Wednesday that McKinley
wouid unquestionably be nominated,
charges of treachery were at once
freely made, and it was openly hinted
that Senators Frye ami Hale, as well
as some of the late James (J. Klsine'e
friends, bad knifed him secretly. It
was also charged that other New
England senators, except Lodge of
Massachusetts, were also secretly at
work against Reed.
When Nam Fessemlen of Connect
icut, atan early hour yesterday morn
ing. heard that Manley had thrown up
the sponge lie became angry and in
dignant. He sought out Manley in
stantly. “Joe." said he, “fhe
Almighty Ood hates a quitter. 1 have
been a soldier in actual war, and am a
faithful soldier of Reed now, but my
gencrsl has deserted.” Manley tried
to explain, but his explanations were
▼■tin. Fessenden evidently recognized
that Reed's enemies bad finished their
work,
Whsn it became noised sbont that
Senator Proctor would be permanent
chairman of the convention, Murray
Crane, tha nstionsl committeeman
from Massachusetts, paid hia respecta
to Mr. lianua. lie said that Reed's
friends in New England generally
would consider it an iusult if Proctor
were made chairman ot the conven
tion. '‘Vermont,” said Mr. Crane, "by
affinity and geographical location,
ought to have supported Tom Reed
for President The Vermont delega
tion was instructed for McKinley.
We are not disposed to criticise that
action. liut the selection of Senator
Proctor for permanent chairman of
the convention would be regarded as
an insult by Mr. Reed and all his
friends. There is no reason why Mr
I?uml hia friondi thnttld h* in.
suited. Perhaps Mr. McKinley may
have need for them before November.”
Manna, stolid, cold, unimpassioned,
made no reply. Crane reported bla
speech in the corridors,however,later,
and it became current. Proctor beard
of it and went to Hanna and said that
under no circumstances would he con
sent to preside over the convention.
Reed's real friends among the New
Englanders are furious, and are ac
cusing Munlev of ail kinds of treach
ery. There is even talk that Manley
has been slated bv Hanna for post
master-geueral in the McKinley cabi
net. _
SECOND PLACE.
Brown, MeAlpIo, Hobart, Hastings, Brans
and Do Voting tho Moat favored.
St. Louis, Ma, June 13.—It is possi
ble that the National League of Re
publican clubs will have soinetblog to
eay about the Vice Presidential candi
date. The league is largely for Mc
Kinley, but there is a division of sen
timent In regard to the second place.
Ex-Governor L>. 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.

form winch the McKinleyltes will

convention, and which will almost
certainly be adopted was outlined by
no less a person than Marie A. 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. The Indiana platform,
vhich had been popular in certain

not be acceptable.
John R. Tanner, candidate for gov
ernor of Illinois on the Republican
ticket, In an Interview, declu-ed em
phatically for the gold standard, and
said the platform to be adopted by the
convention should not hold out the
slightest hope for the silver Repub
licans.
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

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

strateglr Move of the frohlbltlon Army
The result of the contest between
the two factions in the prohibition con
vention, at Pittsburg, is a split such as
enemies of the cause, like the ht l.ouia
(Jlobe-Democrat and other partisian
papers, will crow over and predict dia
integration or me prom onion nriuy
lint hopes inspired t>y such short
sighted views will be doomed to disap
pointment. 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.
In view of the fact that our agitation
and educational efforts have not been

lutions of the churches are good evi
dence of right thinking on the subject,
let us have faith to believe right action
will follow. The permanent chairman
of the convention was Mr. Stewart,
of 111.. President of the “Christian En
deavors" of his state, and Mr. Castle,
of Pittsburg, who delivered the ad
dress of welcome, is a boyish-looking
and prominent member of the “En
deavors" of Pennsylvania. Young men
inspired by Christian zeal are taking
commund and veterans in the cause are
becoming non-effective, like the retired
Methodist lllshops. Hut the Prohibi
tion pHrty, like the M. E. church, will
continue to grow and tight as directed
by Wesley's hymns.
