from these various offices and trusts is
equal to the income from an investment
OF S2 100000. With my nomination for
for the Presidency this income
would absolutely cease within
two weeks from the date which
the Republican Convention should
name me as its candidate. Do not mis-
take, this would not be sacrifice to be
considered in turn for the trust Of fiftv
millions of free people, in making me
their President. The office Of President
OF this great people is the proudest honor
in the world, and one which no consider

THE COASTERS CONFER.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE determination
OF the Pacific coast men 10 secure proper
recognition in the Convention is mani
testing itself. A meeting of delegates
from the States and Territories west Of
the Missouri river was held at the head
quarters OF the California delegation this
afternoon. Henry Woicott was elected
temporary chairman and Geo. +. De
Cola temporary secretary. These off
GERS were later made permanent officers
OF the Pacific coast association. Colonel
Greed Raymond, chairman Of the Cali
fornia delegation, stated the object of the
meeting which was the organization of
the Coast and Western States that they
might act Tor the interests of the Pacific
Coast IN the National Convention, The
| Dakota delegates said that as the oues-
ton of allowing their delegation a full
vote in the Convention has not been de-
cided they did not care to express any
preference for a Presidential candi-
date. The Montana delegates expressed
the same idea, but said their sympathies
were with the Pacific Coast, and they
would do all they could to further the
interests OF that section. Roll call was
ordered, and all who were not delegates
were requested to Withdraw. A resolu-
ton inviting Governor Stevenson of Me-
yada, and the National Committeeman
from California and Nevada, who were
present, to remain, was passed and the
gentlemen remained. Colonel Havmond
moved that a committee to consist of one
member from each State and Territory
be appointed to formulate plan Of or
ganization for the Pacific Coast Assoeia-
ton. The motion prevailed and the fol-
lowing committee was appointed: Ne
vada, Senator j. P. Jones; California,
lierny I. Gage; Colorado, General VIII
liam %. Hansel; Kansas, A. II. Haber:
Arizona, l.. +. Eggers; Idaho, George A.
Black; Utah, John K. Daley; Montana,
l. q. Powell; Oregon, James Bourne. Jr.
The meeting adjourned until Monday
afternoon, when the Committee on Or
eanization will report. The Committee
at once went into executive session.
WHAT SENATOR JONES SAYS,
There are evidences Of break Of the
. programme arranged for the Pacific
/ Coast delegation. Senator Jones, of
; Nevada, who was made chairman Of the
, committee appointed this afternoon to
! arrange for a general conference Of dele
gates west OF the Missouri River. said to-
night it was doubtful whether the Pacific
) Coast delegates would vote as a unit
upon the Presidency There is
no doubt that all the Coast
States and Colorado will be solid
for Estee for Temporary Chairman
and there is a good prospect OF his selec-
ton. The Impression, however, lie
{ said, that Blaine would in any event
, get the solid vote Of the Pacific Coast
was scarcely TO be depended upon and
he did not think Baines nomination
, possible. 1t was true that Sherman
t would receive no votes from the Pa
ciiie states, and it was possible Gresham
would get some votes there, but
not many. Allison, Alger or
Harrison, might be agreed upon
but it was doubtful in any event whether
the scheme OF the solidity Of the Pacific
Coast States for any candidate could be
accomplished" Senator Jones thinks
, Shermans nomination is a possibility,
but not probable, and is OF the opinion
that the nominee will be one of the can
didaies now in the field or some dark
horse
