mittee will meet at St. Louis five days be- fore the convention assemblies. It's duty is to make Up tho temporary roll-a duty often delicate because it involves the recog- milton of contesting delegations, and on the preliminary decision of these contests sometimes depends the control of the con yention. Only recently it was claimed that the managers of MT. Mckinley s can- paign were relying on the friendliness of Q majority of the members of the Republican national committee to give their candidate control of the St. Louis convention.
 There are 67 contests for the committee to consider this year, involving the seats of 156 delegates. Alabama California, Del aware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Lerisi- ana, Mississippi, New York, North Caro- lima, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Texas, Virginia and Arizona have contesting delegations, and it will need a Solomon to determine in some of these cases which of the delegations is entitled to place in the convention.
 The decision of the committee is awaited almost breathlessly by contesting delega- tions not that it determines contests finally. All of them must go before the committee on credentials when it is ap- pointed But possession of delegate s seat is considered great advantage.
 With the Saturday preceding the con- yention the clans will begin to assemble. Sunday will find the hotels crowded, and by Monday breathing room will be at a premium. Tuesday morning 15,00O people delegates and spectators--will move on the auditorium and take possession of it. Most of them will be in their seats at noon, when Chairman Carter of the na- tional committee, stepping to the front of the platform, will pound on the table of the presiding officer to call the convention to order. Most of the 909 delegates will be in their seats, each in the section marked by the banner which bears the name of his state All of tAem will face the chairman as he stands with gavel poised and cries aloud, ~The convention will come to order" To right and left of the delegates will sit the alternates. On each side of the platform will stretch rows of desks, at which 400 of the working representatives of the great newspapers of the country will sit, pencils in hand, noting the smallest features of the great gathering. Behind the presiding officer will be many distin- guished guests-eonspicuous Republicans

When the temporary organization has been effected, the convention, after trans acting unimportant business, usually ad- journs until the following day, when the committee on organization, named by the state delegations, reports the names of the permanent officers of the convention.
 Permanent Organization.
 On the second day the temporary chair man resigns his office to the permanent chairman. It is to be hoped that the chair man of the St. Louis convention, unlike the one who presided ct Minneapolis. will be able to make his voice heard beyond the first TOW of delegates
 The rules to govern the convention are adopted, and chief among them is the pro- vision that resolutions must be referred unread to the committee on resolutions. Then the committee on credentials re- ports on the contested cases, and the con- vention, as rule, votes on them in lump, indorsing the action of the committee.
 The committee on resolutions is the last to report Occasions have arisen where it did not make its report until the candidate had been named. Usually, though, it re- ports before the nominations are made and it's work is second in importance only to the nominating of the candidates. It , should be more important even, for if the party is greater than it's candidate the dec laration of the party's principles should be more important than it's nominee.
 Curiously enough, there is more anxiety over the work of this committee on resolu- tions this year than there Is over the ehoos- ing of the candidate. The business men of the country are standing on tiptoe waiting for the Republican convention to declare for sound money" or to straddle the cur rency question. There is no doubt the con- vention will not declare for free coinage of silver, but just how great sop it will throw out to the free silver delegates Is something which interests the whole eoun- try, and the commercial and financial in- terests of the country especially.
 Usually the report of the committee on resolutions is accepted without debate, but 1t has been amended in the convention within the memory of the present genera tion of politicians, and in the coming con- vention it is very likely at least to be de- bated.
 When the platform has been adopted comes the time for choosing candidafes

Col. G. G. Benedict of Burlington and
Y. M. MRnsur of Island Pond Would
Like to he Collector OF Port With a
Yearly Income of SI7,OOO---CandI-
dates for other omces.
The appointment of the next collector of Gus
toms for the district of Vermont is considered by
a Burlington correspondent of the Boston Jour.
nal, who says that the ground has been looked
yer for the following men: ExGov. Woodbury.,
Gen. W. l.. GIeenleaf and Col. G. G. Benedict Of
DIN Merrill OF Enosburg Falls, Chas. A. Prouty
of Newport, ex Lieut.. Gov. u. NJ. Mansur of Island
Pond. 1t is thought, however, that the contest
has narrowed down to Benedict and Mansur Col.
Msnsur was deputy collector at Island Pond, and
II is said that majority Of the present legislature
is favorable to him Col. Benedict is, however,
thought to have more intimate connections with
the Vermont congressional delegation than Col.
Mansur, and this is a point that will count for
much. Col Benedict was collector under Presi-
d mt Harrison's administration, and as editor and
principal owner of the Burlington Free Press has
great influence. There will be some opposition TO
him because OF the feeling throughout the state
that Burlington has received more than her share
OF recognition in tn distribution of political
pums. The Office Of collector is one of the best
paying federal appointments in the gift Of the
president, being probably worth $1,000 year.
The Burlington correspondent also writes: The
next positions in order ar those of United States
district attorney and United States marshal. For
the first position there are four candidates Speak

tleboro, Alexand Bonnette of st. Johnsbury and

began as political worker when Benjamin But
Ter was dallying with the governorship and since
then he has been interested in some candidate at
each election, usually man OF his own color.
AT the ST Louis convention he worked among the
colored delegates from the South and helped TO
swing many of them to gold. Allen wished 70 go
TO the legislature this year, but was defeated IN
the caucus in his own ward. He then went IN ior
the councillors nomination and got IL, largely for

last year was carried by Sullivan by 5000 majority.
