TRn SILVER PLANK.
An Attempt TO be Made to Straddle
the Issue in the Platform.

An Attempt to be Made to Straddle
the Issue in the Platform.
MINNEAPoLIs, June S.--The silver men
have been very aggressive from the very
beginning of the gathering and have given
the committee on resolutions great deal Of
trouble. The New York and New England
members of the committee proved too
strong for anything like flat-footed declar-
alton for unlimited coinage or anything
similarly radical. The upshot was an
deal with the silver question.
The compromise as to language was
that the declaration should be Substantially
as follows: "The American people are bV
tradition and interest in favor Of bimetallic
coinage of gold aud silver, but one dollar
should be as good as another dollar, that
silver should be coined at the ratio to be
fixed by legislation, aud that the forthcom-
ing international conference 10 indorsed as
probably furnishing a satisfactory solution
Of the foreign question Of financial rela-
tions.
AS a concession to the silver men, who also
represent wool growing states, the COM
mittee agreed TO the Insertion IN the tariff
plank OF an earnest protest against the
action Of the democracy In singing out lead
and wool as articles to be placed on the free
list.
A free coinage resolution. pure and SIMPLE
was voted down In tho subcommittee on
that branch OF the platform by vote Of
three to two-the plank above given was
formulated. 1t is still subject to revision
Following is the silver plank Of the plat-
form which will be submitted to the con-
vention:
The American people, through interest and
tradition, are in favor OF bimetalsm and de.
mand that both metals shall be used az standard
money under such regulations and provisions
AZ may be established by the legislative depart
ment of the government to establish and main
tain purity Of metals and TO make each dollar,
whether ot gold, silver, or paper, the equal Of
any other dollar.
We commend the wise and patriotic policy
inau2urated Of calling an international confer
ence to establish concurrent use OF gold and
silver throughout tho commercial world.

ON THE EVE OF A ROW.
The Harrison Men Apt to Lose Their
Patience.

MINNAPoLIs, June SIT is possibility
that the committee on credentials may not
be ready to report by tomorrow, and If this
should be the case there is pretty sure to be
a row In the convention when its chairman
submits a request for further delay. The
Harrison leaders are very much irritated
over the Blaine policy of delay, and ap-
pear determined to force a ballot as soon as
possible. 1t is stated tonight that when
the committee on credentials, at ii O'clock
tomorrow, makes its partial report, as it
probably will, and requests further time,
the Harrison people will move to adjourn
for an hour or two, with instructions TO the
committee TO wind up its business and re-
port to the convention at that time This,
of course, will be contested by
the Blaine delegations, and may at
ford opportunity for the first direct test
Of strength between the two factions in the
convention. But by their skillful manipu-
lations the Blaine majority have at their
command various expedients for delaying a
ballot If they find it to their advantage to
do so. Not until after the rules aud reRula-
tions were adopted to-day was it observed
that under their provisions the report Of the
committee on credentials must be disposed
of before the report OF the committee on
platform and resolutions is acted upon, and
that the report of the committee on plat
form and resolutions must be disposed of
before the convention can proceed TO the
nomination OF candidates for President and
Vice President.
FORAKER ABLE TO HELP THEM OUT.
Thus, even if the convention should force
a prompt report from the committee on
credentials, Chairman Foraker and his
Blaine colleagues OF the committee on reso-
lutions would have it within their power to
delay balloting by delaying the report Of the
committee on resolutions and forcing an al
tournament for another day. Even the
presentation OF candidates, according TO the
rules, cannot be made until after the re-
ports of these committees are disposed of,
and thus the very nominating speeches can
not be cleared out of the way unless the
rules. This day has shown but little change
in the relative strength OF the candidates.
The Harrison people claimed to have gained
a couple of Texas delegates. who yesterday
went over to Mr.. Blaine. The Blaine
managers state that the plumed knight has
made gains in the state Of Kansas. Illinois
and Rhode Island as we'll in several other
states which they failed TO mention.
A LIST OF OFFICE HOLDERS.
The leaders Of the Blaine faction are to-
night contemplating a movement which is a
very bold plan, and which, If carried out,
will be farewell greeting to the shortlived
harmony and good feeling Of the past
twenty-four hours. whatever its effect may
be in controlling the nomination. They
have agents carefully going through all
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-06-09

the delegations and selecting therefrom a
list OF delegates and alternates to the con-
vention who are office holders under Presi-
dent Harrison. They expect to compile
their list with tho names OK all
the administration office holders who are
on the ground as helpless in
the effort to renominate the President
and who are not delegates TO the conven-
tion. This list will be ostentatiously given
out as an indication of the example that is
being set by President Harrison of the
effort Of an administration TO psrpetuate
itself in power. The Blaine managers also
insist with a good deal of vigor that ex-
Senator Ingalls,, who has been unusually
loyal to the President, has been promised
the Russian mission recently vacated by
Hon. Charles Emory Smith.
THE NOMINATING SPEECHES.
The Blaine people state this evening
that it is nos yet decided that the name OF
their candidate will be presented to the con-
vention at all. 1t may be found advisable
to vote for him without the formality of a
nomination, but fu case 10 is decided to
place him formally in nomination ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker of Ohio will certainly make
the leading speech President Harrison
will be placed in nomination by the
venerable eX-Secretary of the Navy,
Richard W. Thompson Of Indiana,
and the nomination will be seconded
by Mr. Depsw OF New York, "on behalf of
the great American nationn Other noml-
mating speeches will probably be made by
ex-senator John g. Spooner of Wisconsin,
John V. Massey of Delaware, Louis L. Nc
Comas Of Maryland, and possibly by ex-
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas and others.
The Alger leaders had another conference
to-day and came out of II firm and loyal FOR
their candidate. Col. II. M. Dnf1leld Of
Detroit. leader OF the Algsr forces, says that
their candidate has rs votes assured, that he
will receive GO on the first ballot, and has a
certainty of Is more on the second. He
agrees with President Harrison's people
that the Blaine policy is one of delay, but
holds that the strength Of Michigan and the
scattering votes which Senator Sherman,
Gov. Mckinley Secretary Rusk, OK
Speaker Reed, Senator Allison a1d others
are likely TO receive will be- sufficient to
hold the balance of power and thus prevent
a nomination on the first ballot. After
that he entertains hopes that the Wolverine
candidate will gain in popular favor.
Gov. Mckinley still continues TO be a
favorite among all the compromise oandi-
dates whose names have been mentioned.
He received a fattering ovation to-day
on his ascending to the craftsmanship Of the
convention, aud his we'll chosen speech to
the convention created much enthusiasm
and evoked the good will Of all the dele
gates

A FIGHT OVER A CONTEST.
The Blaine People Shaken Up in the
Committee on Credentials.

The Blaine People Shaken Up in the
Committee on Credentials.
MINNEAPOLIS, June S.-The Blaine peo-
pie met with a surprise this afternoon In the
committee on credentials. They found
counterplan at work to defeat their purpose
TO approve the proceedings Of the national
committee in the matter OF contested seats,
and whom a vote was taken on delegates at
large and one district Of Alabama, which
were contested. they found themselves In a
minority after having confidently looked to
a victory in all the contests, the pre-
vious votes having showed that
they were in majority, aud
controlled the committee by majority of
SIX votes. IL was only one vote by which
they lost, and subsequently they pulled
themselves together and carried a motion
to adjourn with another motion to recon-
slider pending. The Blaine men on she dele
cation said it was a set-baok, but they pre-
dicted that things would come out all right
in the end, and before the report was pre-
pared for submission to the convention
it would be found that they

renewed and that they would carry their
point aud seat the anti-Mosely men in the
convention, who had been given the seats by
the national committee. The news, how
ever, gave great deal Of satisfaction and
encouragement to the Harrison men. who
up to this time have been bitterly complains
ing OF the way in which they were being
treated by the committee on credentials.
Some OF their leaders expressed a
fear that the committee did not pro-
poss to report at all and were
in favor OF fighting the committee on the
floor OF the convention. From this they
were restrained by the fact that defeat
almost inevitably meant LOGS Of prestige,
and they realized that on an indirect propo-
sitton on which the delegates were not
bound by Instructions they we're weaker
than on ballot. Some votes. it was evil
dent, would also be lost through an indis-
position TO condemn the party leaders by
such a rebuke as would necessarily be inn
piled in an attack on the committees con-
stituted in the regular way.
THE SECOND SESSION.
When the committee reassembled this
afternoon it proceeded with a little more
expedition and by the time for adjourn
ment for supper had almost completed cons
sideration of the Alabama contests, which
were the worst. 1t is not probable, how-
ever, that the work can be completed and

In full working order. This will throw the
nominating speeches over until Friday and
later if there should be a hard fight wAged
against the report as has been threatened
by the Harrison men. The first case called
was from the Eighth district and
here the report Of the national
committee was approved with substantial
unanimity. The anti-Mosely delegates
we're permanently enrolled. A fight was

sentatives Of the faction headed by Stevens

In the Fourth district it was also demons
strated that there was a good working ma
jority, and Bland and Wilson, anti Mosely>
ties, were sustained on their rights to the
seat.
The Fifth district was also carried, but
when it came to the delegates at large and
the contest over one seat in the Ninth dis
trict, the administration forces mustered
strong and surprised the other side and car-
gied the day temporarily for Mosely, or the

HARRISON CONFIDENT.
His Friends at the Capital Think He
Sure to Win.


His Friends at the Capital Think He is
Sure to Win.
WASHINGTON, June S.--Publlo business is
practically suspended, among the repub-
licans, pending the decision at Minneapolis.
The friends of tho President are In a more
confident mood than at any time since the
resignation OF MIR. Blaine and steadily in.
stst that tho President will be renominated.
They think they have votes enough to carry
him through in spite OF the efforts OF the
anti-Harrison leaders to divide the admins
tratiou forces. Many Of the friends of
the President believe that the
anti-Harrison workers never intended to do
anything with Mr.. Blaine except to use his
name as club to kill the President The anti
Harrison leaders nearly all belong to the
old "stalwart" element which opposed Mr..
Blaine so bitterly In other campaigns and
contributed the decisive votes to defeat him
at the polls in 1884. Having used Mr..
Blaine's name TO conjure with, the oppo-
nents OF the President intended, 1t is
thought, TO bring forward new name and
accomplish the defeat OF President Harri-
son by indireotion. The steadiness with
which the Harrison forces are holding to-
gether is great source OF qualification to
ths President and the members OF the cabi-
net. Secretary Elkius declared to-day that
MIR. Blaine was out of the race and ne has
no longer any doubt Of the denomination Of
the President. The members Of the cabinet
come and go at the white house and fire.
quently bring encouraging dispatches res
ceived from friends at Minneapolis. Secreta-
ry Elkins and Secretary Foster are the ablest
politicians in the cabinet, and they were in
very good humor to-day over the outlook.

ALGRR HOLDS THE BALANCE.
Both of the Leading Candidates Lack
Enough Votes to Win.


MINNEAPoLIs, June S.-Of the two dis
tinguished Americans who have been more
assiduously urged by their friends the past
week for the presidential nomination,
neither one tonight seems to have assur-
ance of sufficient votes to effect a nomina-
tion. The seeker after accurate informa-
tion as to the relative standing Of the two
candidates Is compelled to discard as ex-
travagant and quite misleading the figures
issued from the headquarters Of each and
a careful analysis of the expressed prefer
ence OF all the delegates, together with
classification Of the uncommitted delegates,
shows that the two leading candidates are
each from 25 to so votes short OF a nomina-
tion. The balance of power. il ballot had
