That He Has Not Meddled With Plat
Bolt-Quay Will Stand by PIatt to the
End,
ST. Louis, June Ex-senator Quay was
one of Mr.. Platt callers this afternoon.
The two were oloseteG IN hour. When
Mr.. Quay departed Mr.. Platt remarked
to group of newspaper men, "Senator
Quay is in the fight with me to the end. !"
This evening Platt received dispatch
from Albany stating that five carloads
of loyal New York Republicans wers
on the way to ST. Louis for Morton and
sound money. The delegation will ar
rive tomorrow afternoon and the fight
to prevent the unseating Of Platt men in
New York delegation will actively be-
gin. Platt is quoted as saying that il
the national committee unseats his dele
gates he will carry the contest to the COM
mittee on credentials. If they decide
against him it will be continued on the
floor of the convention. The arrival this
evening of Cornelius Bliss and other New
Yurk republicans gave rise to the belief
that the New York contests would be
taken up tomorrow.
At midnight it was still question
whether they would be reached tomor-
row or go over till Monday. A suggested
financial plank, drafted by Mr.. Kohlsaat
of Chicago WAS submitted to Mr.. Hanna
and other close friends of Major MoKin-
ley today and was taken under oonsidera-
ton. This proposed plank while follow
ing in the lines of the Indiana platform
goes step further and specially declares
for the gold standard. The suggestion
was made that If this platform were
adopted by the commi tteee on resolu-
tions, it would be with the distinct under
standing when it was reported to the con-
vention by the committee on resolutions
that. the chairman should entertain a
motion to strike out the words 'tgold
standard" the plank to be SO framed
that this could bs done without inter-
fering with the context of the sense.
Such motion being entertained the pro-
position would be subject to debate
and could be finally settled by tha con-
vention on a test vote.
1t is understood to be Hanna's judge
ment that the words "gold standard"
ought not to appear in the platform.
Platu today issued over his signature
the following statement: Governor Nor
ton will be put in nomination and oordi-
ally supported by his friends. Speaker
Reed and Senator Allison will also re-
oeive the votes of the supporters. I am
hopeful that the convention will reoog-
nize the wisdom of making Governor
NJ orton the presidential candidate and
declaring for the gold standard. From
q oursory observation during NY brief
stay hers am satisfied that a majority
of the delegates favor the continuance
of the present financial system interpre-
ted by the Republican administration.
The New York delegation will certainly
do all in it's power TO put gold plank
in the platform.
Allison's friends who have hitherto re-
mained so silent that the impression
gained ground that he had been with
drawn from the race, are now assuming
an aggressive attitude and assert that he
will be supported by vigorous oratory
and many votes when the convention
proceeds to nominations.

In the death of Mr.. Laurenson
this community and county suffers the
loss of one of its most intellectual citi-
zens. He was in many respects a re-
markable man, and one whom nature
had bounteously endowed with many
gifts, among which was that of the
most retentive memory of any man
with whom it had been my fortune to
become acquainted. He was man
of deep research, and with amazing
accuracy grasped and mastered the
most intricate technical problems with
but seemingly little effort. His ad-
vantages were but few; never having
attended an educational institution of a
higher grade than that of the common
schools of this county, first at Treasure
Hill, then at Hamilton and lastly at
Cherry Creek. Hence it may well be
said that by his own execution he fit
ted himself to appear before the Su-
preme Court of this State, as an ap-
plicant for admission to the bar as an
attorney and counsellor, and that high
judicial tribunal without hesitating or
a dissenting voice granted him a IL
cense to practice nall the courts of
this State; each member of that court
making the declaration that he passed
the most satisfactory and creditabls
examination of any applicant that had
presented themselves seeking equal
reorganization and judicial honor. To
say that our friend was bluff and un-
couth would be but the utterance of a
we'll known fact;yet beneathed rough
exterior a warmer heart never palpi-
tated in the breast of mortal man.
When his finances rendered it poss-
IDLE, there were none more generous
with purse to assist either in charity
or for educational advancement.
Mr.. Laurenson died as he had ever
lived, an upright conscientious honest
man-"the noblest work of God. "
He has gone from among us forever,
and if he had any faults let us bury
them with him, and forget them, and
remember only his giant intellect and
many manly virtues. We must now
bid last farewell to our worthy friend
for the eternal country for which he
has embarked will never return us
any intelligence of his safe arrival,
and speechless is the gentle breeze
that will soon fan his earthly cover
ing.

Master Avondale Hewlett, who ha s
been quite sick for the past ten days,
we are pleased to note is recovering
rapidly, and will soon be again.
We were all shocked to hear of the
sudden and untimely death of our
friend, VIM. Laurenson, at Ely on the
3rd., inst. When the news reached
this town there was not a dry eye to
be seen anywhere, as all our people
had long ago. learned to look on him
as their friend in all matters, and
when spoken of in any conversation,
was always pointed to as one of the
truest of men, and one who had the
brightest of prospects for the future,
before him. Had he lived to become
as we'll known to the people of the
outside world, as he was to the people
of White Pine County, there is no
telling whore his talent. ability and
honesty would have brought him.
Even our children would point to
him as their partner; as the man that
would some day become the Chief
Magistrate of the Nation, or Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, as
"Bill' Gas he was Familiarity called)
had lately adopted the profession of a
lawyer, the Supreme Court was laid
out for him by many. Now that the
Almighty, who is all wise, has seen
fit to take him from among us, we
have to humbly submit, Knowing
everything is for the best, but will
say a truer friend was never taken
from us. To show their appreciation
of the departed, all of our people
school children included-sat to work
and made two of the handsomest
wreaths of flowers that was ever form
ed in the mountains, and sent them
to Ely to be placed on the coffin of the
deceased. All that prevented most
of our people from attending the flu
neral, is the distance of 30 miles
between here and Ely, which would
have required an all-night ride, it
being only a few hours between the
time We receive the news of the death,
and the hour set for the funeral at
Ely. The Hon. Chas. Greene and
j. A. Carlson, were sent to repres-
ent our people, and deposit our last
token of respect on the coffin of our
departed friend. That his rest be
peaceful on tho other shore, is tho
wish of our people.

OBITUARY..

w III. AduAClSolA,O i1O VA w H1OC ZIG
leading citizens, died in Ely, at 9
o'clock P. NJ, Saturday the End, inst,
of pneumonia. The deceased had
been ailing for some time, but did not
look upon his case as serious, until
Tuesday of last week, when he was
compelled to summons medical assis-
lance; this he was advised to do sew
eral times, by his friends in the earlier
stages of his illness, but he refused,
saying that it was nothing serious, and
that he would soon be all right. His
case, however, seemed to have been
beyond the reach of medical aid when
the doctor was called He fingered
along without any decided improve
ment until Saturday, when a change
get in for the worse, and he relapsed
into a state of Inconsistencies;
he rallied toward evening however,
and regained consciousness, which
lasted until death.
Mr.. Laurenscn died just in the
prime of life, with the future still
bright and promising, "but death
makes no nice distinctions, and how
ever short mans life may be there
gathers about it always something of
love and sympathy, and when it is
gone. some fond hope and bright am
bitten perishes. "
1t has been truthfully said that no
man has lived without making some i'm
preston for good or i'll upon his gener-
alton, and no one is wholly dead whose
memory or whose example inspires the
humblest to higher purposes or more
noble resolves. Mr.. Laurenson was
man of far more than average in
tslligence, his powers of memory were
such as but few men possess; he was
self-reliant, man of convictions, and
prosecuted whatever he undertook
with vigor that was at all times
commendable. He was twice elected
County Clerk, and during the last two
years had held some important State
clerkships. His services as a public
officer. his strong individuality, and
striking personality, has made a strong
and lasting impression in the county
and State, and his memory will long
be cherished by all who knew him.
1t seems hard to have one 80 young,
and apparently so strong and vigor-
GUS, suddenly stricken from among
us, to be carried by an unseen power
from the pride of manhood, from a
warm and active life, to a cold and
unsought grave. But it was the COM
mand of Jehovah, the irresistible man
date of the Mighty One, and our I'M
needed protest proves the feebleness
OF our power.
1.-The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are oary,
But the voice of the weeper
Walls manhood in glory"
The deceased was born in Utah,
and 81 years of age.
The following peace was read by
A. B. Treece at the grave yard, just
before the remains were laid to rest
in the grave:
My FRIENDS:
Night before last Saturday when
the hands of the clock pointed to the
hour of nine, death came silently and
claimed for its victim our worthy
friend and fellow-townsman, William
Laurenson, whom we all knew but to
respect as an honest, worthy, upright
citizen; whom many of us have known
from early childhood.
