MINNEAPOLIS, June 3-The platform in
which the Republican party will present
the issues to the voters Of the country is
the subject of earnest consideration among
the leaders.
The silver plank will receive the most
careful consideration in order TO meet the
divergent views of different sections. The
declaration relative TO declarations is also q
matter on which the delegates differ.
The platform will begin with the
general record of the Republican
party. Harrison's administration will be
endorsed. The conduct of foreign relations
of the country by Harrison and Secretary
OF State Blaine will be especially COM
mended for devotion to the Republican
party. The principles of protection will be
re-affirmed and the Mckinley law endorsed.
The reciprocity section of the bill will be
subject to special mention. The Springer
free wool bill will be denounced as an at
tempt TO destroy the industry of the Ameri-
can farmer The silver plank will likely
be more liberal than that OF other
conventions, based on the firm expectation
of the administration that the approaching
monetary conference will result in such
agreements as will make it possible TO
utilize the entire silver product as money.
The right Of every American citizen to
cast a ballot and have il counted, will be
advocated. The necessity of re-habillta-
ton Of the American merchant marine Will
be set forth and laws passed in aid OF the
American shipping will be approved. The
completion OF the coast defences will also
be urged as necessary to the protection OF
the country.

A BURGLARS KIT.
The Capture Made by Ecklund
and Sheets.
Thomas Griffin Taken in Last Night While
Preparing to Go Ont and
Turn Trick"

Thomas Griffin arrived In Salt Lake on
Sunday last and has since that time been q
familiar figure on the streets during the
late hours of night and the early hours of
the morning.
The sleuths did not like Grifin's appear
ance, and several have kept their eyes upon
him. Griffin, however, did nothing to ex-
cite suspicion, and as he had not been here
the requisite number of days, he could
not be taken under the vagrant law.
Late last night tie attention of Officers
Ecklund and Sheets was called to the Lin
coin lodging house on First South street,
the landlord having complained that he and
one of his guests had had trouble over the
disappearance OF some keys.
The landlord led the way to the room,
and the officers followed closely.
As the men entered the room Griffin was
seated on the bed. Near him lay an old
fashioned plain revolver, and scattered
about promiscuously was the hnest and
exhibited at police headquarters. There
were braces, bits, gimlets, punches, files,
oil cans, candles, drills, screw drivers, g
Grape mask and other tools.
On arriving AZ police headquarters
Griffin was thorou hiy searched, and IN
the band of his hat were found couple OF
fine steel saws, while another was discov-
cred neatly sewed in the edge of his coat.
He was complimented by Ecklund on the
size and value of his collection, aud ne
jestingly replied:

Murat Ralstead Enroute.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Murat Halstesd ar
rived tonight from New York, enroute to
Minneapolis, where he says he hopes to act
as peacemslzer between the friends of
Blaine and Harrison. He has read the
"never published" correspondence be-
tween Blaine aud Harrison, when the lat
ter offered Blaine the secretaryship of
state. The correspondence is creditable
TO both. The president places stress upon
Blaine's pan American policy and expressed
desire that they should work together upon
st. Halstead reclted the fact that Web
ster, while secretary of state in 1882 was
a candidate against President Fillmore as
q precedent for the present case. A we'll
known reason for Blaine's not accepting
nomination in 1888 was the number of Re-
pubhcans who came out as candidates
Because he withdrew was not on &C
count Of health or apprehension of
other candidates. Blaine declined to accept
the nomination in 1888 because he did
not want to be considered a claimant on
the party after having once been beaten.
His own expression was: 81 am no Tick
nor claimant for the presidency" The
reason he stuck TO his refusal was the
array candidates. There is now no similar
condition Of things. Harrison is not a
candidate because Of Blsine's renuncia-

Salt Lake and Grand function.


The NcDs met very cordial reception
from Mr.. S. H. Babcock, the general
freight agent of the Rio Grande Western,
on Monday morning, when that gentleman
passed through our city on the special, en-
route for Chicago. He said:
~ am glad to see your city 80 prosperous.
You seem to be growing steadily and SUB
stantialiy.
II saw Mr. Carpenter of your city re-
Gently, and got copy of the analysis OF his
coke. I took it TO several Of the smelters
of Salt Lake and was assured by them that
it was OF superior quality, and they were
very anxious to.have carload to give it a
trial. l see no reason why Mr.. Carpenter
cannot supply our Salt Lake smelters with
his coke. We would be glad to give him o
rate that would let him into our city. Our
shelters are consuming ninety tons OF
coke per day, and l am sure he could sell
almost the entire product of his ovens in
Salt Lake.
"Grsnd junction is the eastern terminus
of our road, and we want your people tc
understand that we are interested in your
growth and welfare. We are ready to ad-
vance your interests by every means
within our power9P
1--WE would like to see a smelter located
here. / should think that one could be
successfully operated in Grand junction,
considering your location. The Western
would no doubt give you satisfactory
rate on Utah ores. and in this way we
would be able to encourage the enterprise
no small extent.
''Salt Lake merchants ought to be able
to sell you goods, at least western goods, a.
any rate, and hope to see more friendly
feeling obtain between the two points
Salt Lake would like to have share OF the
Grand Junction trade.
81 hope to visit your city again soon, and
will be glad to offer whatever encourage
ment can to aid your enterprises. VIZ
realize that the sooner Grand Junction be-
comes q thriving and populous center o.
business and trade the better it will be fol-

Mr. Babcock was thoroughly in earnes
in what he said, and Grand junction vii

feeling which he has shown.-Grdnd juno

HIS MIND DISEASED.
Mike Welsh Detained On the
Charge Of Insanity.
He Imagines He is Heir to a House and Lot
and That Jim Hegeny is His
Guardian.

Mike Welsh, a diminutive specimen OF
the Irish race, was taken in by an officer
last night on the charge of insanity. He
Yves found il the neighborhood of the Rio
Grande Western depot pacing up and down
in front of house, and when asked what
he was doing there said he was on duty
patroling his beat. He further said he
was owing a man named Norton for q
couple of weeks board, but had a house
and lot near the depot which had been left
him by some friends, who had made Jim
Hegney his guardian and Jim had not acted
towards him just as an honest man should.
Who his friends were who had been so
generous towards him he could not
say, but Hegney knew all about it
and If the officers would kindly
telephone Hegney, he would tell them ali
about it.
When asked to accompany an officer to
the police station, he said that it was ut
terly impossible, as he had been placed I'M
der arrest by the United States marshal.
There was also woman, a waiter ct the
Norton house, who had grievance against
him, but he did not see why she should
pursue him So
There would seem to be little doubt but
that the mans mind is unbalanced.
He was at one time a resident of Park
City, but has been living in this city for
probably couple OF years.

OMAHA, Neb, JuneS.- Special telegram
to The HERALD. Major John K. Bu-
chsnan, the newly elected chairman OF the
Western Railway Passenger association,
arrived this morning from Chicago and re-
sumed his duties as general passenger and
ticket agent Of the Elkhorn & Sioux City
roads. An intimate friend stated that Mr..
Buchanan would decline the Craftsmanship,
the inference being that he did not like the
proposed contract or change of residence
TO Chicago. Mr.. Buchanan, when asked
about it this morning, said he had no ON
cial notice of his election, and could not act
upon IL before it was before him. Other
railway men say that Mr.. Buchanan was
not candidate and gave notice when his
