CLEVELAND, O., June so.-The open
in! session Of the eighth national con.
vention Of republican clubs adjourned
ct p. N. yesterday until 10 g. n. TO-
day, after disposing Of all preliminary
and routine matters There were no
developments in the convention indi'
eating the contest between those wear
Ing yellow and white badges, and rep.
resenting respectively the gold and
ailver standards. But in the commit.
Tee rooms, at the Arcade hotel and
elsewhere the fight continued.
The committee on time AID place &C.
lected Milwaukee as the place for the
next annual convention, and referred
the selection Of the date TOR meeting to
the executive board, with instructions
to select any date after that OF the re-
publican national convention The
postponemsnt Of the time to q date
subsequent TO that Of the national con-
vention next year was for the purpose
Of avoiding any such contest on resolu-
tions a that which Is now confronting
the delegates Of the clubs.
There was movement yesterday to
conclude the work with the banquet
tonight, but the agitation before the
committee on resolutions during the
afternoon and evening developed such
differences that II Is not likely the
convention will close before Friday.
The delegates from the west and south
want to get away Friday. AS 1t Is
known Gov. Mckinley cannot get here
till Friday morning, there is general
desire TO wait for him till that time.
The presidential booms have been
looked after carefully. The Iowa dele
gates keep open house for Allison, and
the Hooaiers are quietly keeping Har-
rison in mind, while the New England
delegates use the Blaine tactics for
Reed. Mark A. Hanna, who Is close to
Mckinley, has been keeping open house
at his mansion all week. Yesterday
Mr.. Hanna gave dinner at the Union
league at which Maj. Osborn, q
relative Of Mckinley; Cows. Mel
ION, Merriam, Brown and Clay
ton Powell, Moses P. Handy
Senators Patton, OF Michigan
Clark, of Wyoming; Carter, Of Montana
Thurston, Of Nebraska; Dubois, Of
Idaho; Warner Miller, Of New York
and others were guests While Mr.
Hanna always believes Mckinley to ot
the man of destiny, he says ne never
was so hopeful for the champion o.
protection as he is at TINS convention
owing to the expressions Tor his favor
ite from other STATES lie Goes no
think the silver question will embar
,oss the nrotectionists.
