ST. LOUIS , June 12.-Today there was In
: circulation reports that Thomas C. I'Intt
had declared his Intention of boUltig or
walking out of the convention IE the sIc
conteRtants from New York shoulI be seated.
It is learned from members of the national
committee that in all probability the six
rlatt men vIli be thrown out and the other
men placed on the temporary roil. The rc-
port of what Platt had said was reported to
Mr. Ilanna today and lie declined to discuss
the niatter in any way. , I shall not get
4 , excited over this even If Mr. Platt FnIl It , "
, I Mr. Ilnuna remarked , and when assured
that Mr. Platt had made the remark ho
was hot disturbed.
Other frIends of McKinley who heard the
talk said that Platt was Iuttins up a grand
- bluff and that no one was to be alarmed
' over what he might say.
S
From the manner in which the report of
t Platt's intentIon to bolt has been circuiatcd
by his friends quite freely , one of thorn
Btated emphatically that the position of
Mr. Platt was that In case six regularly
elected delegates in Now York should ho
unseated there WOUIl be sixty more delegates -
gates who would walk out of the conven-
tion. This view Is controverted by some of
the delegates from New York now on the
ground , who say that there are twenty-live
to thirty delegates from New York who
are ardent McKinley men and cannot be
expected to follow Platt In any such move.
BELIEVE IT IS A nLur'F.
/ Members ol the national committee think
the talk of a New York bolt Is wholly for
the purpose of the inuiuciice it may have on
I the decision , of contests' yet to be decided.
There was a report going around today
that Mr. Piatt had sent a message in the
shape of an ultiinutuni to Mr. Ilanna , in
k which ho stated the national committee
just not treat lila delegates like they hind
treated some of tim anti McKiniey contesting -
ing delegations in the south ; that the thirty-
six electoral Votes of New York were ox-
pcCtcd to be cast for the republican nom-
J { U Inee , but there would ho danger of losing
. . ' 1 thorn If the Morton delegates In Now York
, . were unseated. When this was reported to
, Mr. Ilanna lie said that Mr. Platt had not
10 sent any communication dr message to
I him , directly or Indirectly , upon any sub-
- jcct.
. While the action of the national committee -
) tee upon the various contested election
I is not final , It places upon the tern-
porary roll of the convention the various
delegations Voted in by the committee. The
usual rule is to have the contests settled
' by the cornniittec on credentials for the
permanent organlzatloii. and a report inado
by that committee. Owing to the length of
time taken UI , in settling the contests , It
. 15 possible a motion will be made to adopt
the temporary roll as made by the corn-
mItteo as the permanent roll of the con-
vention. A 'notion on this proposition would
declare the McKinley and antI-McKinley
strength of the conveutioli. If adopted , it
would ho a great. disappointmeut to those
contestants , ninny of whom are hoping for
a reversal of the committee In the convcn-
tion.
:7 : RIDING IIOUGH SHOD.
To an tssociated press reporter today Mr
I I'latt said that lie had not spoken'particu-
larly of the Now York delegatcs which wcrc
contested , but on the whole procecliIg In
- the committee. "They are riding rough
shod over everythIng , " ho sMd. . "The
, uostiofl of a juan's title to a seat is flat.
considered on its merits. but as to his posi-
t- tlon on prcsilential candidates. Mr. Ilanna ,
I , the member of the committee frwn Ohio ,
( ( had saId that the only question involved
. 1. Ia these contcsts is whether or not the man
p. p Is for McKinley , and that line of policy Is
what New York objected to. "
Mr. Platt reiterated what lie has continu-
t ally declared , that Mr. Morton's name viii
r be presented and voted for.
'When asked what hie had to say about
Tdr. Manley's manifesto he said lie did not
; think it 115(1 made any appreciable difference -
, once In the situation. lie sins very sorry
that Mr , Manley had iiiaile the statement
and was at a loss to explain It , except that
the Maine committeenian must have become -
) ' come demoralized when there was no neces-
I. ' sity for it , Mr. Piatt line received a dis-
I patch from Mr. Reed , vlio says that Mr.
F Manley's utterancO was wholly unauthorized
and expressing his astonishment that Man-
Icy had taken such a course.
Mr PlaIt is Interested in having a gold
standard plank In the platform. "From all
I have heard , " he said , "I think that the
, convention will take that coiirao. There
. secms to be a demand that cannot ho resiste.l

'I fled with any kiiiih of a straddle that iiiay

ST. LOUIS , Juno 12.-Time principal devel-
opmnent of the ( lay has been the agreement
UlOfl a gold standard plank for the platform ,
It has been asserted in these dispatches for
several ( lays that this would ho done , but
today time mnatter was settled so far as it
could be in advance of the convention. Time
incoming delegates from every section
swelled time aentiumient for an unequivocal
declaration for the gold standard and agaimmst
the free coinage of sliver. There imave been
arrivals of some prominent men , among
timern l.cing Senator Quay , Cornelius N. Bliss ,
General Horace l'ortor , lion , Cimaries Foster
amid General Grosvenor. The vice presidential -
dential candidacy has been disctmssed a great
deal , with conclusions indicating that ho-
hart of New Jersey is the coming mmman at
present. Time ratimer savage talk front Mr.
Platt has assumed a milder tone. Delegates
iiavo begun to arrive and shouters and brass
baimds are heard Lu the streets and corridors.
St. Louis lies begun to assume a real convention -
tion aspect.
A nmost Important conference was Imeld
in Senator Quay's rooms tonight at which
Senator Quay hinmselt , lion , Mark Ilanna ,
Mr , Hahn , national committeeman from
Ohio , Hobart of New Jersey , lion. Samuel
Fessenden of Connecticut and \V. Andrews
of l'enn8ylvania were present. It was prac'
ticaliy arrammged that Mr Quay should retire
front the contest for time presidency. He
said the contests which were now uimdcr
consideration by the mmationai committee
were of little or no consequence because it
was evident McKinley had over OO uneomi-
tested votes , making it evideimt that time peo-
pie demanded his nontimmation. lie acquiesced -
quiescod in the suggestiou that McKinley
should be nominated by acclamation and
the sooner the convention performed its
work and adjourned the better It would be.
HOBART IS IN TILE LEAD.
There is some difficulty about the selection
of a vice presidentiai candidate and it is
by no means a settled question. Garrett
II. Hobart of New Jersey amtd H. Clay Evans
of Tennessee are the niost prominent candidates -
dates at the present time , A man who hmami
been more promineimt in political at-
fairs titan Mr hobart is wanted , while timere
is a feeling that Mr. Evans would make a
stronger rumm as candidate for governor of
Tennessee than ime would for vice prostdemmt.
Many people believe Evans was elected governor -
ernor of Temmnessee and think democrats
would vote for lmirn for governor who would
not vote for him as a candidate for vice pres-
Went. Time question of giving the second
place to New York lmas been considered and
Governor Morton and 13. F. Tracy and J ,
Sloat Fassett Imave been considered , but it
Is very apparent that any nominee in New
York would have to ho dictated by Piatt
or an anti-Platt man selected. The coil-
elusion is that the vice presideimt must come
from outside of New York and as time ease
now stands , Hobart stands the best chance.
It is probable that the National
League of Republican Clubs will
have something to say about the vice
presdential ! candidate. The league Is
largely for McKinley , but there Is a division
of sentiment 'in regard to the second place.
Ex-Governor D. Russeli Brown of Rhode
Island is a mneunimer of the league in good
standing and his friends viil put him forward -
ward as time right mmman t combine with McKinley -
Kinley on the national ticket. E. Mc-
Alpin of New Yomk is imresident of the
league and naturally his friends are anxious
to see him honored. McAlpin is adjutant
general omm the staff of Governor Morton
of New York , anti the argument will be advanced -
vanced that his 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 time mmomination there is some
reason to believe tittt the vice presidency
would be imeld out to him by the powers that
be , provided that Quay's consent could be
secured.
QUAY FOR hOBART.
The friends of Garret A. Hobart of New
Jersey clam : timat Quay is committed to
imirn and there are surface indications that
give probability to this story. Senator
Quay , however , is very cautious in making
promises anti time Hobart people nmay ho
counting their chickens before they are
hatched. Quay may take into his head , for
example , to name Governor Hastings of
Pennsylvania for the vice presidency. haying -
ing Hastings out of time question it is probable -
ble that Quey , it ito had to cho6se between
Hobart anti a New England man , would
select the fernier
Time objection has been raised to Mr ,
hobart that New Jersey imas always gone
democratic 1mm a presidential election , but
the friends of time Jerseyrnan say that tlmis
is an unusual year and with hobart on the
ticket the republicans would carry the state
by a sweeping nmajority.
Time boom for Ii. Clay Evans of Tennessee
lisa gros'n to a wonderful size. Evans
himself has made no effort to secure second
place on the McKinley ticket. lie has other
plans in view , wimicim would make his acceptance -
anco of the vice presidential nominatiomm
impossible.
Another candidate for second place on time
ticket is M. II. Do Yomng of Califorimia.
lie is a strong favorite anmong the free
silver mcmi of the west , lie has done notim-
ing himself toward securing tue place , but
his numerous frietmds in time west Imavo done
a good deal of hustling.
General Grosvenor arrived tonight in St ,
Louis. hot : . Charles Foster , secretary of
the treasury under hiarrisomm , also joined time

Ex-Governor Merriam of Minnesota has

ST. LOUIS , Jtmne 12.-It is generally be-
iiovetl toimighit tlmat time declaration in favor
of time gold standard in the repubhicam : hint-
forni will be very emphatic amid tmnequiv-
ocal ,
\Vhen time men from the east reach : St.
Louis they vili find that the close fricntls
of Major McKinley are ready to offer timeni
a finaimclal plank that they can agree upomi
without hesitancy. Several drafts of a
platformi : have been PrePared and it is now
believed that a torn : has been secured
vimiclm will be satisfactory. It will declare
agaltmst time free coInage of silver unless
it simotmltl he brouglmt about by internatiotmal
agreenment. No ratio is : nentiomcil and in
this respect it is more acceptable to time
gold men. It will also declare time reptmb-
hicans are against the debasement
of the currelmcy , and are timero-
fore in favor of the present
gold standard. The republican party
'm.ill be given crothit for having brought
about the rcsumImtiOil act , which has always -
ways nmmtimmtained every dollar at a parity ,
whether coin or paper , and that tIme stand.
arti of money siiotiid be as it always imas
been and is mtow , equal to tlmat of the most
enlightened mmations of time world.
These declarations embody time wisimes of
the friexmds of McKlmmley ammd time mon who
are now here approve timent. If time resolution -
tion should be changed it will be by time
comumIttee oim resoltmtions or the convention -
tion itself , but timis Is mmot likely , as it
contains all that is asked for except by the
most extreme gold mneim , wimo want a straight
siimgie gold stamidard declaration and nothing
more.
Tlmcro Is some opposition to time reference
to an international agrceniemmt , but those
m'iio desire that iaimguage inserted in time
resolutlomm say the party should not place
itself in opposition to the coInage of silver
untler an international agreement if smcim
am : arraimgement coimid be made , imut that
time party is not to be pledged to bring
about such amm agreememmt , whIch is a con-
teimtiomm of some of time delegates. It is
believed by those wimo have examined the
Iroposed financial resolution that it will
mmieet every demand timat can be made by the
eastern men and timat it will be iocor-
poratod into the platform when adopted.
EASTERNERS SET TIlE PACE.
The mimovements of time men who are opposed -
posed to McKinley imave been very quiet ,
but it is uimderstood that since time arrival
of Mr. Quay today timore has been a con-
foreimce of mon representing the different
camidldates , those present being Piatt for
Morton , Quay for himself , Henderson for
Allison amid an eastern man representing
Mr. Reed. It was understood the conference
wgs not with : any 'flope of defeating the
nOmination of McKiniey , , iecauso Mr. : Quay
and Mr. Manley have 'already conceded the
nomination of time Ohio nina emi the first
ballot , , but It Ivas proposed to prepare a
platform on themnoney question' which waste
to be insisted upon at , all hazards and to
give it to McKinley men as one of the
demands of the opposition. It was understood -
stood that time declaration was to be unequivocally -
equivocally for gold. In this connection , it
is said the declaration will be so pronounced
timat It will not be acceptable to the great
middle west , wimichm is imere solid for Mc-
Kiniey anti may precipitate a fight. This
Is one of time nmany stories timat were in
circulation , indicating that the arrival of
Mr. Platt amid Mr. Quay had made the opposition -
position more fornmidable ( bait was suim-
poseti. As time McKinley men hero are for
time most 'part talking In favor of a strong
declaration in favor of gold , they say there
caimnot be much difficulty in atljustimmg a
flnammclai phammk to suit time men who will
vote for time other canditiates ,

vrcss corrcmipommtient on time traiim tommiglit
and asked what lb regarded as the probable
action of time convention on time money question -
tion ,
" 1 am of time opinion time convention will
declare unequivocally for mmountl money , I
should not be at all surprised to see it
adopt ( lie fimmanciai hilanhe of time Indiana
platform. "
"Vitim time ratio clause heft in ? "
"No. I rather expect to see the ratio
clause stricken out it the convention adopt
time plank. As it stands now time plank
pronounces emphatically against time free
coinage of silver at a ratio of 15 to 1. My
opinion is that if time convention sees fit
to adopt timat Imiank , it will simply ob.
literate time worths 'at a ratio of 10 to 1. '
That will place it squarely agaipst time free
coinage of silver at any and every ratio.
Wimethier time Inthimmna plank is adopted or
not , you can rest assuretl the convention
Is going to pronounce in no uncertnuii man.
imor on time financial question , There will be
