2 WEST 111 THE SfIDDLE WESTERN BRAINS AND ENERGY ARE RCNNIN-G THE REPUBLI CAN CONVENTION. !0E MANLEY'S PREDICAMENT. MAINE MAN'S BLUNDER HAS HBOPPED HIM BETWEEN THE LINES. fHE DUPLICITY OP PLATT. Hanna Worked Up Over the Double Candidacy of Morton— Reed's Reticence. Special to the Globe. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 17.—The con vention today opened with a hurrah and was lively all through. Thurston started the enthusiasm. He is a natur al orator and he had the convention with him in his every utterance. Thurs- j ton is a queer looking man. He is all skin, bones, brains and feeling. He is as thin as a rail, as tall as a steeple and as straight as a pole. His long, thin black hair is brushed up from a ' • high forehead and his straight nose is thin and sensitive. He gestures much as he speaks, his nostrils quiver with excitement and he brings every atom i of his six feet in nervous action. Thurs- i ton was born in "Vermont, brought up j In Wisconsin and began the practice of i law in Ornaha. He was for a time the : lawyer of the Union Pacific railway j and he has now graduated from the j bar to the United States senate. The geld plank of the platform was j gotten up by a western man and not I by the East. It was written almost al- ; together by Kohlsaat of Chicago. The ■ west is really running this convention, j Foraker was chosen at the head of j the committee on resolutions in order j that the prestige of getting up the gold I platform might not go to an eastern j man. Kohlsaat is a man of high honor, j He is worth his millions, but he would \ rather be a newspaper man than presi- i dent of the United States and he once j told me that if he had $100,000,000 he ; would still be editor of a newspaper. He is a man of strong convictions and he believes in McKinley. THE SICKEST MAN HERE is Joe Manley. He feels that he has \ lost his hold on Tom Reed and New j England and he don't know, to use the j wcrds of the congressman, "just where I he is at." Sam Fessenden, of Connec- j ticut, rode over Manley rough shod in ! the Southern hotel today. Fessenden } is a Reed man and he is very angry at I Manley. He stopped him as Manley j was going through the parlors and laid j his hand on his shoulder and said: "Joe ! Manley, you have made the greatest , mistake of your life in quitting the I support of Tom Reed. I tell you, God ' Almighty hates a quitter." Some of the \ Republicans are alarmed as to what ! Reed will do. They fear he will be ! Sulky during the campaign and would j like to make him vice-president yet if he would take it. The silver men feel very sore. About six states are discussing the advislbili- | ty of leaving the convention tomorrow, j I met Dubqis, of Idaho, and Cannon, of i : Utah, this afternoon. They think they have been baclly treated and one silver delegate expresses the situation jn this quotation: "We will admit you had a right to refuse our love, but why did you kick us down stairs?" There has been some talk about Lodge for the vice-presidency. 1 asked him this afternoon whether he would take it Under any conditions. He said: , "No, if I should be nominated I should rise in the convention and decline it. To be United States senator from Mas sachusetts is good enough for me." Mark Hanna is mad at the duplic ity of Platt. He asked this afternoon why, if Platt wanted to have Morton for vice-president, he did not with draw him from the presidential can didacy. He says he does not like to see him maneuvering for both ends of the ticket at the same time. There is a lot of dirty linen being ■ washed on the floors of the convention and there has been considerable washing of the same kind going en in the national committee. Anthony Higgins, of Delaware, showed up the corruption of his state this afternoon, denouncing his opponent. Addicks, as a scoundrel and corruptionist.. There FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETA= BLES. Fine Minnesota Strawberries by the case. SUMMER DRINKS.

MICHfIUD^BROS LEADING GROCERS, Seventh and Wabasha, were at least fourteen thou sand people in the hall at the time and Addicks feels rather sore to-night. It is stated he has been go ing around to the McKinley leaders and making corrupt propositions as to the state. One man whom a million dollars or a dozen states would not buy told me to-night how Addicks approached him, saying that had Ad dicks not teen introduced by a friend of his he would have knocked him down for the implied insult which his proposition carried. Said Addicks to this man: "You can influence dele gates from your state. Now, I can carry Delaware for McKinley. I know just how many Democratic votes there are. I know just how many Re publican votes there are and I know just how many votes I will have to buy to make Delaware surely Re can, and if I am upheld by the conven tion, will do it." The man —he was a McKinley leader—looked at him with contempt, and told Mr. Addicks he had mistaken his man. THE VICE-PRESIDENCY. The McKinley men undoubtedly want Hobart as their candidate for viee | president. This seems to have been a part of the McKinley plan decided upon long before this convention met, and though they are not making any fuss about it you cannot talk with one of the McKinley leaders long before he turns the subject to the vice-presidency, and after first pretending to be for Morton, or for anyone that New York will favor, v£ers about to Hobart. To night Hobart has the lead as the vice presidential candidate, and if the Mc- Kinley men stick to their plan he will be the candidate. They are extremely anxious, however, not to anger Platt, and the remainder of the New York element, and if the differences iv New York could be patched ;ip Morton could have the place. This is the case with Hanna and the most of the McKinlpy leaders. There are some, however, who wish to see Platt's tail feathers cut and his wing 3 clipped, and who don't want It said that Platt has had any victories here. The choice of Morton would cer tainly be a victory for him, and Avould j be the defeat of George Matthews, cf the Buffalo Express, and others, and the McKinley men in New York. I can't tell you how bitter the fTght is. The New York delegates in discussing it denounce each other in unmeasured terms and the opponents "f Morton say that his nomination will lose the party that state. Now and then you hear P.eed talked of. He could be nominated if he wished It, and there is a strong feeling in fa vor of nominating him and taking the chances of his not refusing the jlace on the ticket. Those who know Reed, however, protest against this. They say that he is so independent and sulky that he would throw the nomination over and practically tell the party to go to . This would result in the national committee naming the candi date, and would put a damper on the campaign. I was told tonight by a man who had served in congress with McKinley, and who has just vfeited him at Canton, that McKinloy has given directions that under no circum stances should such a possibility be risked. The only hope of getting 1 Reed to take the vice-presidency, says Con gressman Frank, would be through Dingley, of Maine, or Tom Reed's wife. If assurances could be gotten from either of these persons that he would accept the position, Mr. Frank thinks It will be safe, to go on and nominate him. No movement to this effect, how ever, is being taken and at this hour Mr. Reed is out of the race. The con vention will probably adjourn tomor row night, though there is a possibility that it may last over till Friday. The McKinley men are anxious to get through as quickly as possible. They feel that so far things are going very nicely and realize that delays are dan gerous ,as far as foolish utterances in the convention and out of it, are con cerned. As it is, they claim to have about 700 votes among the delegates, which Is an even greater majority than Grosvenor has claimed. FRANK G-. CARPENTER. BYRNES IS BUSY. Tim Is Having- Any Amount of Ei- Citemnt in His Own Field. Convention Hall, St. Louis, June 17 —It will not do to have convention sessions called as early as ten o'clock in the morning. At that hour less than a hundred delegates were in the hall. After last night's long contests the-convention members' indulged in a long morning slumbei\ Tim Brynes himself took charge of the army of assistants and ushers who are thick as cactus blossoms on the Missouri prairie. Tim said this morning that he had played foot-ball, run a threshing machine and distrib buted tracts at a. Methodist camp meeting, but his experience of yes terday and today eclipses all his past records for dealing amicably with rooters of all descriptions. The Minnesota delegation have made a change in place on the floor of the convention hall. They are now seated as the third delegation from the speaker's platform. Prof. Stevenson was the first to ar rive this morning. He said the work of the committee on permanent or ganization had been completed, and there had been no friction . Copies of the St. Paul Dispact, of of Monday, containing a far better il lustration of the interior of conven tion hall than tne local papers were handed to members of the delegation when they came in. NEW LOCATIONS. Seating- Arrangements in Conven tion Hall Are Altered. St. Louis June 17.—Many changes have been made in the seats of delegates in the con vention hall. The officers of the convention have arranged the seats in alphabetical order, according to states, some of the delegates maintain their places, especially those near the top of the list, but beginning with Mary land the several changes are numerous. Maine remains as before, exactly in front of the speaker's stand, Massachusetts takes the seats immediately behind them and then fol lows Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico Nevada, New Jersey, crowding the New York delegation* far back to the mid dle section. Oregon- is behind New York, also North Dakota. Beginning with the third section North Carolina occupies the first row I and all but four seats of the second which are alloted to Ohio and will probably be occupied I by the big four from that state: Foraker, ! Bushnell, Hanna and Grosvenor. Itennsyl vania occupies the seats directly behind Ohio and have not been changed but one row back. Yesterday the Ohio delegation occu pied the front row of the third section. Some ! changes have been made .which will prob- I ably cause considerable feeling. The Vir ginia delegation which was near the front j of the flrct section have been relegated to the | rear of the third section. The states which I have been most benefltted by the change are I Michigan, Minnesota. Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Nevada, and New Jersey. Every seat has been tagged with the name of the state whose delegate is to occupy It, and it is believe* there will be no con fusion in seating delegates.

FIGHT ON CREDENTIALS. A Hot Strangle Over tlie Texas Del egates in Committee. St Louis, June 17. —The committee on cre dentials to-day adopted by a vote of 31 to 13 the resolution to ratify the findings of the national committee in all contests except those from Delaware and Texas. The com mittee also settled the Texas contest by de ciding to recommending the seating of the Grant faction, the vote being 28 to 16. A resolution offered by Sutherland, to seat the Cuney faction was lost 16 to 29, and another motion by Sutherland to seat both delegations giving each delegation a half vote, failed 14 to 29. The Grant delegates are McKinley men, while the Cuneyltes support Allison and Reed. The committee will report this afternoon. A strong effort was made by Delegates Mc- Camant of Oregon and Hepburn, of lowa, to induce the committee to consider the Kerens- Fllley factional differences in the Twelfth Missouri district, but the committeemen re fused to do so, aligning itself practically as it had on the rotes given above. Delegate Bittinger, of Missouri, voted to take up the case, although stating as hig personal opinion that the contestants had no valid grounds for their attempted contest. Motions were also made by Mr. Hepburn, to hear the contests from California, Louisiana and Georgia, but all were settled by practically the same vote on which the Texas contest had been de i cided. Then at the close of the meeting, the reso lution offered yesterday by Cowan, of Ne braska, to accept the decisions of the na ! tional committee on all except the Delaware and Texas cases, which that body had re ferred to the committee on credentials, was adopted by the vote of 31 to 13. Most of the session was given to the hear ing of the Texas contest. MARCHED IN MUD. Pelting Rain Interfered With the Big- McKinley Demonstration. ST. LOUIS, June 17.—Wednesday night of convention week was some time ago marked on the programme of the McKinley boomers for a torch-light parade to demonstrate to the people of St. Louis and the convention visitors the popularity of the Ohio candidate. Unfortunately for the plans of the Buckeye enthusiasts, a sharp thunder shower swept across the city about the dinner hour and then resolved itself Into a driving rain, which kept up throughout the evening and made marching an exceedingly disagreeable and ' sloppy exerclsa. Nevertheless the managers of the affair determined to carry out their programme, and they did so. The display was an interesting and unique one. The fea ture of the march was the face of Maj. Mc- Kinley. Portraits of the candidate blossomed over the marchers and were elevated from the carriages through the whole length of the line. There were hundreds of them. me turnout was twenty minutes passing tne Planters hotel, and a rough estimate would put the number of marchers at 4,000 or 5,000. Most significant and interesting was the popular enthusiasm provoked by a flag of the Cuban republic which had a Place all to itself in the line bearing the watchword "Cuba Libre," and was followed by a wave of cheering peculiar in its intensity. TO END TODAY. Leaders Are Determined to Get Through ■Without Delay. ST. LOUIS, June 17.-The convention will be brought to an end to-morrow if the p.lans of the leaders are carried out. The pro gramme which was arranged to-day contem plates reports from various committees at the morning session and a recess till 12 o'clock? Thf report of the committee on rosolutlons will be acted upon. Then tne after an all-night session. MORTON STIL.L SILENT. He H«« Not Yet Denned the Posi tion He Occupies. RHTMB CLJFP N. V..

June ".-dur ing recess today Charlie Towne held a lengthy interview with C. A. Pillsbury. The two drove from Convention hall to Towne s rooms at the St. Nicholas. What they said could net be learned, but Mr. Towne told me that he would prepare a statement for pub lication as soon as the convention adjourned finally. The situation in the Sixth district is causing some uneasiness among the Minne sota delegation. There is now a move on to nominate W. E. Lee for congress if he will accept. HcKLNLEY AND MORTON. Every Indication That This WtU Be the Ticket. St. Louis, June 17.—The announcement made just as the convention was called to order that Foraker, of Ohio, would nominate Morton for the vice-presidency just as soon as the ballot for president was finished, prac tically settled the gossip of the morning. It was the plan that when the motion to nom inate McKinley by acclamation was made, to also Include the same of Lev! Parsons Mor ton for vice-president. At 10:30 It was be lieved that this would certainly be the case and it looks as if the plan would carry, al though there may be some opposition. PRIVILEGES ABUSED. Causing One of Tim's Aides to Lose- His Head. St. Louis, June 17.—There was gen eral confusion in the arrangements for the press representatives which was mainly due to the fact that the second assistant sergeant-at-arms, W. W. Johnson, of St. Louis, lost his head early in the morning. Press privilege have been abused by some who ere not entitled to them and Johnson got the special correspondents confused with the corps of the press associations and tried to reorganize the whole sys tem that had been arranged for re porting the convention. Johnson finally became exasperated and for a time was inclined to be abusive, but the situation was ex plained to his superiors and order, was restored in time to permit the work of reporting the convention to be resumed without disturbances. -^»_ Children Cry foi Pitcher's Castoria.

The gold men. in /the committee were filled with compassion and there was ator Teller spoke. Senator Bubois, Senator Cannon and Delegate Mott broke down completely and were like children. Senator Lpdge, who re plied, spoke words of tender sympa thy, as if the occasion was some per sonal bereavement. He eulogized Senator Teller and his colleagues, but declared firmly that the representatives of the party could not falter on the money question. When the platform is presented to-morrow it is not prob able that there will be any reply from the sliver men, at least not an extended one. If Senator Lodge can have his way, no bitterness will be engendered. The general belief Is that the con vention will adjourn to-morrow. The prevailing opinion continues to be that Gov. Morton will be McKlnley's run ning mate on the ticket, although the friends of Hobart and Evans still in sist otherwise, and the anti-Platt fac tion In New York is bitterly fighting his nomination. It is believed that Mr. Hanna Is opposed to Morton and this fact furnishes the chief ground for the confidence of the anti-Morton delegates. SILVER MEN BEATEN. Platform as Drawn Adopted by- Resolutions Committee. St. Louis, June 17.—Teller, Dubois, Cannon and others of the free silver ites have in the committee on resolu tions announced their determination to bolt the republican convention in case of adoption of the gold standard plank. The full committee took up the plat form promptly after being called to gether at 10:30 and proceeded with it section by section. The preamble was first read and adopted and practicr.lly without debate. At noon the committee had not reached the financial plank, where the contest was expected between the gold and silver men. The sub-committee re ported a complete platform. After reading it as a whole, Chairman Fora ker stated that the sub-committee had given the different declarations the fullest consideration during the night and had the counsel of the best thought of the country on these principles of the party, as well as upon the form of expressing the sariie. The report was then taken up ad ser iatim, for the consideration. The whereas in which the history and mis sion of the party were told was adopt ed without opposition. Then came the preamble, in which the indictment of President Cleveland's administration was most strongly expressed. There was some difference of opinion as to the severity of the language In this Indictment, but Senator Foraker de fended it very earnestly and it was adopted without any change. The next sections were adopted as reported, In cluding the reciprocity clause, and there was no disagreement as to the language in any of the sections, until the sugar bounty question was reached. There was some objection to the form of this resolution, and some brief speeches were made in support of various propositions. One of these was to amend the resolution by declaring for a specific duty on sugar, and an other for a specific declaration for tar iff protection. None of these were ac cepted, and the resolution as reported and as sent out last night by the As sociated Press, was adopted. The proposition for an amendment to the resolution committee from Mr. Patterson, of Illinois, and Mr. Lauter bach, of New York, who contend for a declaration for a specific duty. They were replied to,' by Senator Gear, of lowa, who contended for the merit of bounty system, saying that the main object was to protect the original pro ducers of sugar in this country and that the bounty system was well cal culated to accomplish this purpose. The committed also adopted resolu tions declaring specifically for the ade quate protectionVof wool and woolens, and still another for the encourage ment of Amerieaa shipping. At 12 o'clock the financial question was taken up. n OPENED; 3T TEIaLER. Senator Teller opened the discussion by offering the various substitutes which, he had presented in the sub-com mittee and m&king a speech in sup port of them. Senator Teller made a vigorous speech in support of his reso lutions, becoming quite animated as he warmed up. He had scarcely begun when the members of the press who lined the hall outside the room in which the committee was meeting were invited to a more distant section of the hotel. Th* excuse was made that the committee wanted the use of the hall far air, but the fact that the Colorado senator's voice penetrated the wall and was plainly heard on the outside, was accepted.as the real rea son for the eviction of the press. As the senator progressed he was warmly applauded by his followers. He spoke vehemently in opposition to the gold standard plank, declaring his belief that in taking this course they were departing from their vaunted posi tion of defender of the rights of the people and putting itself in the hands of the bond clippers of Lombard and Wall streets. This policy he denounced as un-American, unpatriotic and op posed to all the-best interests of hu manity. He expressed his sincere re gret that such /a, course should be adopted, not because it affected him personally, but because It was a step that would serioi4sly: affect the welfare of the people of the" entire country. As for himself he had:been a republican since the ante-bellufti days. He had assisted In securing the nomination of Lincoln and had supported him in the campaign. Naturally, therefore, the step n6w proposed, was regarded by him in the most serious light and he sincerely hoped that the step would not be taken. Mr. Teller In the course of his re marks stated in emphatic terms that if the gold standard plank proposed was adopted he would consider it in cumbent upon him to sever his connec tion with the convention. Just as he did upon the subject whtch was of all questions, the nearest to his heart, he could not consistently continue his re lations with a body which was so de termined to antagonize his convictions of right and duty and as he believed stultify its own record. Senators Dubois, of Idaho, and Can non, of Utah, and Meyers Mott, of North Carolina, and Cleveland fol lowed in similar strain, also announc- ing their intention to bolt the conven tion in case of the, to them, obnoxious gold standard plank. Mr. Darlington, of Pennsylvania re plied briefly to Senator Teller, chal lenging the position of the senator's address referring to the dictation of Lombard street, and sayingr this was a poor return for the money amounting 1 to many millions of dollars which had been Invested in the west by the men of the east in building railroads and in other enterprises. "We have given you our money free ly,' he said, "and are surprised that you should now want to pay us in money worth only fifty cents on the dollar." '^Colorado," responded Mr. Teller, "has always paid her debts and will continue to pay them. What we ob ject to is the paying of $2 for $1 re ceived." Messrs. Mott and Lemmon were as vigorous as could be in protesting against the gold standard. They did not state in their speches that they would go out of the convention with Senator Teller. They did, however, state to members of the committee af terwards that they would all stand by Senator Teller, and if they were de feated In the convention, thy would de clare themselves out of the party and do the best they could for their peo ple hereafter. Members of the committee who came out of the rooms said they had never witnessed such touching scene In poli tics. Some of the silver men shed tears while speaking. Senator Cannon wept, crying aloud as he pleaded for Utah, No funeral could be so sad to him. They loved the party that was about to smite them and cast them out. Sen ator Dubois was the most vehement in his utterances as to the result. He showed no emotion, but was firmly de fiaaiit. Senator Teller was cool throughout the debate. OIXHHAVd NONNVO Senator Cannon's speech was pro nr«ounced most impressive and affect ing. He pictured in very fine language the hope which had been raised in the breasts of the people of Utah and of the inter-mountain West by the prom ises of the Republican party, told him the state had been redeemed from the Democratic ranks, and an overwhelm ing majority overcome, and all for what? Merely to have all the promises made in behalf of tke Republicans ruth lessly trodden in the mire and ignored at the time of their greatest need for a sustaining hand. This course was toi them the subject of amazement and the deepest sorrow. He had hoped up to the latest moment that the catastrophe would be averted, but if it could not be, he, too, deeply as the course pained him. His conscience and the interests and convictions of his people demanded this course. In the dilemma offered, no other was open. The Teller silver amendment to the platform was defeated by a vote of 41 to 10. In the speeches made during the day Messrs. Cannon, of Utah, Dubois, of Idaho; Hartman, of Montana; Cleve land, of Nevada and Fowler, of Wyom ing, were quoted as saying they would follow Senator Teller in withdrawing from the convention after the adoption of the resolutions. In the conference It was understood that the other four would do likewise although Lemmon, of California, and Mott, of North Caro lina, are reluctant about saying what they will do. Ballot Bluffs. St. Louis, June 17.—1t is pretty well settled now how everybody is going to vote. The doubtful ones are very few, so far as the presidential ballot is con cerned. Mr. Quay will have about 50, Mr. Morton 55, Allison 35, and Reed about 100, which makes a total of 240 for the opposition and 680 for McKin ley. Seventeen of the New York dele gation will vote against their governor on the first ballot, and perhaps more. Quay is holding his men a great deal more firmly than Platt. which is prob ably due to the fact that they believe that he has fixed things up with Mc- Kiniey and that they will be taken care of anyhow. But, nevertheless, the Platt people are making great bluffs, and will look you straight in the eye and tell you that if the national com mittee had not seated all the McKinley delegates there would not have been the slightest chance of his nomination. In Mr.- Platt's private parlor, Uriah Painter stated that twenty-two men from Ohio, under the lead of Senator elect Foraker and Gov. Bushnell, would drop McKinley and.go for some other candidate at the slightest excuse, that thirty-five delegates from Illinois were ready to follow them, twenty-four from Indiana, seven from Wisconsin, four from Minnesota, fifteen from Missouri, six from Kansas, and, in fact, from his statement one would think that the nomination of the Ohio man was ex tremely doubtful. But you can get all sorts of interesting information if you keep your ears open, and much of it is interesting only because it is absurd. HENRY_HASJJOPES. London, June 17—The Chronicle this morning has a half column interview with Hon. Henry Watterson. Of the presidential election he said he did not regard the pending issue in America as directed towards a finality. "If the republicans come in," he said, 'they will find themselves as little able to setle questions as th c demo crats have been te the last three years." 'For the moment," Mr. Waterson continued, "the democrats seem to have gone to pieces ;but when the offices are distributed next year and the battles and resentments begin and the republicans go to pieces, then there will be a complete redistribu tion of party force and there will be a great and conclusive contest in 1900, between sound and unsound theories of government and finance. The com ing general election will be largely a struggle for the offices." SERENE ON THE SURFACE. Washington, June 17.—Speaker Reed was about his hotel quarters throughout the morn ing and read the bulletins of the early pro ceedings at St. Louis. Close friends of Mr. | Reed keep him pretty thoroughly advised of the events beneath the surface. He main tains his usual serenity and appears quite as much concerned with his books and with the rearrangement of the portraits in the hall of representatives as with the developments of the convention. The speaker is very reticent and while talk ing freely with his friends as to the situation, positively declines to discuss publley the platform or other features of the convention. m Do you want the news today?
