HILL MAY RESIGN.

The Duties of a Senator Not at All to
His Liking.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Now that the
prospect of Senator Hills nomination at
Chicago has become SO exceedingly slight
his colleagues in the Senate are speoulating
as to whether he will remain In the Senate
after the democratic national convention
adjourns. Knowing, as they do, that he
never felt at home In the Senate, and that
its methods and employments grow more
and more wearisome to him, they are very
generally of the opinion that Senator Hill
will not serve out his term, and a number
of them regard ii as not unlikely that he
may resign before this congress expires

The Dead Politician to Get On HI
Feet at To-day's Convention.

The Dead Politician to Get On His
Feet at To-dsy's Convention
HUTCHINSON. KAN, May 4.-The re-
publican state convention to elect delegates
at large to the Minneapolis convention and
TO nominate q congressman at large, will be
held here tomorrow. State issues this year
seem to overshadow everything in politics
and national issues are lost sight Of in the
scramble for places on the state ticket.
The republicans expect to reverse the alli-
ance majorlties of two years ago and
are so confident of success that a nomina-
tion on the state ticket is regarded by them
as almost the same thing as an election.
There are eight candidates for places as
delegates at large. Among them is John
j. Ingalls,, whose return to active political
life will be made at this convention. Mr..
ingalls, is now probably the most popular
with his party Of all the Kansas republican
leaders.
HIS POPULARITY RETURNS.
His popularity year ago began to ebb,
the charge having been made that after his
defeat for reelection to the Senate he with :
drew to his tent and sulked there, not
caring 30 long as he had been turned down
what became OF the party in Kansas. Mr..
ingalls, allowed this charge to pass unchal =
lenged for nearly year. Finally he proved
It false, showing that the party managers
had not asked him to participate in

councils and plans The showing not only
restored him in the affections of the rank
and file of his party. but carried him far
beyond his former popularity. Mr.. Ingalls,
will be present at the convention to-mor-
row. He has not given any intimation Of
what his new political ambition may be
but 1t has been proposed to send him to
Minneapolis at the head Of the Kansas dele

THE PLATFORM.
The platform declares that the adminis-
tration of national affairs by the republican
President has earned an unqualified indorse-
ment. 1t applauds the action Of the Presi-
dent in his conduct of foreign affairs, and
says these and other achievements stamp
the administration of President Harrison
as wise, patriotic and useful and endear
him to the hearts of all true Americans,
while giving just pride to every repub-
lican. I'VE feel that the Republican party
needs no better leader in the battle Of 1899
than the man who led us to victory in
1885," The platform reaffirms adherence
to the national platform of 1888 upon the
doctrine Of protection TO American indus
tries and American labor, and the CLOSEST
scrutiny of the workings of the present
tariff law is declared the strongest argu-
mens for its maintenance. "a
THE FINANCIAL PLANK.
The following is the financial plank:
We believe silver, equally with gold, to be the
money of the people. aud In behalf of the farm
ers, laborers and mechanics OF the nation, for
whom the Republican party has always la
bored wa demand the passage of such laws as
will provide for free and unlimited coinage of
the silver product of the mines OF the United
States as soon as the same can be done without
injury to the business interests Of the nation.
A demand is made for toual prohibition
OF Chinese immigration. The election of
United States senators by direct vote Of
the people is indorsed, and the platform
concludes:
While we abate nothing of our words Of
praise regarding the chief magistrate of the
nation, we must express our profound convic
| tion that in the whole foreign policy OF
the administration we see traces Of the master
hand SO long and lovingly known by all our
party. We recognize again and again that man
who stands In the very foremost rank of living
statesmen, whose fame Is world wide, whose
name is a household word in every American
home. and who is the ''favorite son" and repre-
sentative of every state Of the American union
James G. Blaine.
A resolution indorsing civil service re-
form WAS adopted. The delegates were not
instructed. After ratifyiug the list OF
district delegates the convention adjourned.
