Western Vice Presidential Gossip.
Itisadmitted that the number of vice pres.
identlal candidates will ncccssitate an ad-
journment after the nomination of the
presidential candidate and IA consequent
delay in the work of the convention. Tho
New York delegation has given up all
hopes of securing favorable answer from
Governor Morton, but will urge him
If Mckinley is nominated to ac-
cept. In tho meantime, however,
rumor is busy with the name of j.
Sloate Fassett of New York and the men.
ton of his name is favorably received by
the eastern delegates Ii is claimed in
his behalf that he could obtain sixty Of

Free silver Movement.
The delegates from the silver producing
states have not yet held a formal confer
ence, but they expect to get together later
in the afternoon. There have, however,
been several informal meetings at which
the programme to he pursued by the radi-
cal silver forces has been sufficiently dis.
cusscd to no longer leave any doubt that
il is their intention To bolt the conven-
ton in ease their demand for the
free coinage of silver Is not ac-
ccptcd which they do not expect it to
be. They have decided, however, to go
out without any display. Before they
take their departure a resolution will
probably be offered providing for the coin
age of the American silver product, but
while the man from the silver producing
states will support this i'm lieu of absolute
free coinage. it will not bc offered by one
of them, but probably by delegate from
a non-silver producing state.
