THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
No Specialization as Yet Upon Any
 Candidate.

Candidate
 ST. LOUIS, June 1S.-The situation as to the vice-presidency continues in. definite. Opinion does not seem to crystalline Talk of Hobart of New Jersey and Evans of Tennessee goes on, but does not seem to be regarded seri- ously. There was strong belief yes terday that perhaps the New York del egation could agree on some one who. would be satisfactory to both factions and there was renewed discussion of Governor Morton and ex-Secretary of the Navy Tracy, but when the factions declared war to the hilt all idea of New York furnishing the tail of the ticket was abandoned. There is still finger ing hope among a vast number of 1el-, egates that Speaker Reed will be noua- mated by spontaneous Outburst in the convention.
 It Is announced that the McK finley managers have given Platt the privi- lege of naming the candidate for vice president. Depression ss in the ranks of the New Jersey delegation, members of which had believed their candidate, Garrett A. Hobart, was making great strides toward victory. Even the Con- necticut delegation felt little sore. Rumor was busy this morning with the names of Lemuel E. Quigg and J. Sloat Fassett. From Maine has come 8 movement this morning in favor of Henry Cabot Lodge.
 During the morning session Platt and Lauterbach of the New York del- egation received numerous telegrams from the east. Delegate at Large Lauterbach said: "We have received more favorable news from Morton re- garding the e-presidency; the bus iness men of New York are working with him to get him to accept" At 1:2O Platt said: T can only say there is more favorable news" He would not show the telegrams.

TT IS NOT PROSPEROUS.
Mckinley's Great Lead Seems to Quiet
 the Clans.

ST. LOUIS, June 1e.-The most re- markable feature about the convention so far has been the absence of bad blood among the partisans of the vari- ous candidates. The triumph of Nc Kinley has been so complete thus far that his friends can afford to be mag nanimous and his opponents can do nothing but acuuiesce in the will of the majority. The partisans of Reed, Quay, Morton and Allison still wear their buttons and are as staunch as ever in their loyalty, but they realize the hopelessness of making shriekins or offensive demonstrations in favor of their champions and the managers of anti-McKinley candidates have prac- tically sheathed their swords, This does not mean that they have aban- doned the field. With thA execution of Governor Bradley of Kentucky, who dropped out last night. the names of the other candidates will be presetned and voted for and they will probably poll their full strength.

 at St. Louis. IA Temporary Organization Is Effected. Fairbanks Is Temporary Chairman. No Doubt Now of the Gold Standard. Mckinley Dominates the Field Morton Urged to Accept the vtce-Presidency-T Silver
 Bolt Organizing.
No Doubt Now of the Gold
 Standard.

ST. LOUIS, June 16.-Auspiciously and serenely, the chieftains of the Re publican party met in council hall to- day and, in the presence of 5000 spec tators, entered upon the work of se- lecting candidates and enunciating the policies for the campaigs of 1896.
 The first session of the Republican National convention was brief and formal. Chairman Garter of the Ma tional committee, dropped the gavel at 1920 and sixty minutes later adjourn ment was taken until 10 o'clock tomor- row.
 Temporary Chairman C. w. Fair banks of Indiana, delivered his ad- dress, a strong, forcible statement, in arraignment of the present admins tration and in definement of the issue; the committee selections from the vari- ous delegations were announced-that was all.
 Those who expected some allusion to Mckinley which would loosen up the bottled-up enthusiasm for the Little Napoleon, were disappointed.
 The only significant demonstration came today when c. w. Fairbanks, temporary chairman, outlined the po- sition the party should take on the financial issue, which now, as at all times since the delegates began to ar rive, has been question about which a whirlpool of speculation and interest centered. Out and out gold men and conservative silver men made counter demonstrations, but the radical silver men sat silent and glum.
 Sentiment regarding the vice-pres- idential nomination rapidly crystal lized today when it became definitely known that Governor Morton of New York was willing to accept if the nom ination came to him with any sort of unanimity. It seems almost reason ably certain now that the ticket will be Mckinley and Morton and the plat form will be conservative, but un- equivocal declaration in favor of the maintenance of the gold standard as long as present conditions prevail.
 Indications are that a sensational climax will come tomorrow when the report of the resolutions committee is presented. The adoption of platform is assured by a large majority, but radical silver men are expected to carry the isht to the last ditch.

THE REAL STRUGGLE.
Over the Financial Plank of the Plat

 form.
 ST. LOUIS, June 16.-Tle real str,1e- gle that is going on is over the anan- clal plank in the platform Free silver and gold are as irreconciliab1e as the poles and the radical silver men arepre- pared to stake their all upon the issue. Knowing they cannot succeed, they are even now formulating the manifesto that will sever their allegiance to the Republican party.
 But these radical silver men are largely outnumbered Headed by Sen ator Teller of Colorado, they have onIy mustered five states and perhaps one territory-less than fifty delegates in all, out of total of over 900.
 The real struggle is between those who favor a bold declaration for the maintenance of a gold standard, ex- cept through an international agree ment, and those whose friendliness to silver, although opposed to free coiH- age, makes them seek to avoid a spe- clflc declaration for gold standard. Ine exact language of the plank has not yet been drawn, but Mark Hanna. to whom all are agreed belongs the distinction of being the dominatinp power in the convention, has had many blanks presented to him and all mean practically the same thing, the main- tenance of a gold standard until an in- ternational agreement can be reached and unalterable opposition to free coinage.

Bottled Up!

II certainly is disheartening to a pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors haYe failed absolutely to
find successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the har1ri-
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring unprecedented
splotches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad
