Tom Platt Starts for St Louis in
Special Car.

New York. June 11--smiling as if as
sured of success, ex-senator Thomas @.
Platt. accompanied by Chairman Chas.
w. Hackett, Congressman 3. 3. Odel,
Thomas L. Hamilton, ex-senator Fred
S. Gibbs and Clarence w. Meade, start
ed for St. Louis in the private car Chi
cagO, which was placed at Mr.. Platts
disposal
A reporter asked Mr.. Platt about the
presidential candidates and their
chances, and he said:
Fl do not know Of any candidate ex-
cept Gov. Morton. He is New York S
candidate and ne will remain in the
race. He is the choice OF the Empire
State, and I shall work for his nOmina-
ton to the last He was endorsed by
two state conventions in New York.
which certainly shows that the Repub-
ncans here are heartily Tor him
What about the vice presidential
boOms in this state2' he was asked.
''CfeneralIy it is customary to name
the head of the ticket first before the
second place is mentioned. But I no
tice that this state is peculiarly preg-
nant with vice presidential candidates.
To use a hOmely comparison, they are
as thick as pig tracks around a lonely
rural school house.
Did you know that Warner Miller
has been mentioned also for second
place?'
"Oh, yes; I was aware Of that fact -
There is Cornelius N. bliss, the can
didate of the Mckinley League. what
do you think of his chances2"
II do not think, for there is plenty of
time to nominate a vice president after
the president has been nominated. But
you have forgotten a most Important
candidate. There is Col. Fred Grant.
He should not be left out by any odds. ="
The names Of General Tracey, Cen
era1 Steward L. WOOdford and General
A1cAlpin were also suggested.
"Oh, yes, they are on the list" said
Mr. Platt- Remember, too, that Mr..
Saxton of clyde must not be forgotten.
All Of this shows what rich material
we have in this state. DO not forget
Mr.. Fassett. for he is prominent on the
list. If I had time could recall more
names"
Mr. Platt would not state which he
considered the strongest and most like
~ man to get the place

the Gold Platform.

Washington. June 11-SeveraI prom
inent Republicans We're interviewed
yesterday in order to learn what their
attitude viii be in case the ST. Louis
convention does not adopt a gold
standard platform Tia each instance
this question was asked.
"Wiu you support the Republican
ticket on the platform adopted in St
Louis if the party does not declare in
favor of a sold standard o."
In almost every case the senators
and representatives evaded q direct re-
ply. and in only one case did a Repub-
can say he would not vote the Repub-
Hcau ticket on such q platform. Seua-
etor Hawley was the exception.
'I viii not vote for the ticket" said
Senator Hawley, unless there is a dis
tinct declaration against the free and
unlimited coinage of silver"

CLAY EVANS WOULD LIKE IT
But Hobart Seems to Have the Pull
For Second Place.

st. Louis June 11.-H. Clay Evans of
Tennessee arrived in town this morn
ing and his appearance here started
fresh talk of his candidacy for the vice
presidency Mr.. Evans said his news
paper friends had. kindly kept him be-
fore the country in connection with the
second place on the ticket He would
of course, be pleased to have the nom
nation but he was not losing any
sleep over the prospects of success or
defeat The Tennessee delegation will
present his name to the convention and
he has assurances of support in other
directions.
The sentiment in favor Of Hobart
seems to be pretty strong and there are
reasons to believe that he is more likely
to be the nominee for second place
than any Of the men 50 far mentioned.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 1.-The most
destructive fire that Frankfort has

State Feeble minded Institute was
burned to the ground, entailing a
loss of nearly 5000, which was par
TALLY covered by an insurance Of
S56, 900 on all the buildings.
The fire originated in the highest
room in tue building i'll the main
tower, which was used for storing
rags, etc, to patch the children's
clothing. The city fire department
responded promptly, but the building
is so high up that the water could be
thrown only to the second story win
dows by the water. works pressure,
There were water tanks in the
smaller towers of the building, but
the hose from these could not force
the water on the fire which was high
er than the tanks, and thus the fire
was powerless and had to
stand by and see the building burn.
All the children, lis in number, were
removed in safety and tonight are,
comfortably housed in the temporary
frame buildings that were erected
seven years ago when the same insti-
tuition was burned the first time.
