Sr. Louis, Mo., .luno 1. Sutiator
Toller, In tho course of his remarks
before tho platform committee to-day,
said that If tho gold standard plunk
proposed was adopted ho would con
sider It incumbent upon him to sever his
connection with thu convention. Re
liovliig as ho i.'.d on this hithjout, which
wus ot all questions thu neatest to his
heart, In) could not consistently con
tinue his relations wl'h a body which
was so determined to tititnc;ohi.'o Ills
ounvlotions of rljrht tintl duty nnd, us
vlie believed, stultify its own record.
'.senators Dubois of Idaho and Can
non of I'tnlt followed In u Mm
ilar strain, also iitinouuciiiK' their
determination to bolt tho convention
in ease of tho adoption of thu to
tlmin obiinxioiih wild standard plank.
While Messrs Mott and Lemon of
California woro us vigorous as could
be In protesting uguiiisl thu prossuro
of tlio gold standard, they did not
stato to their, speech that they would
0 out of tho convention with Senator
Toiler. They did, however, htuto to
members of tho cotnmittou afterward
th"at they would all stand by Senator
Teller, and If they woro dofentvd In
tho convention thoy would dcoluro
themselves out of the party and do
thu bast thoy could for tholr pctiplo
hereafter.
Motubors of the committee who
eatue out of toe rooms said they had

Senator Dubois was thu tuost vehe
