Those republican, who have been OPP
posing the nomination of Mckinley
but are now ready to admit that he can
not be beaten, propose to make their
last stand on the financial plank OF
the platform. There may be some Ell
fort to concentrate the opposition to
McKinley's nomination upon that issue
hut there is no doubt that Mckinley will
stand on any platform which is
adopted, and the most serious fight will
be made to secure a gold standard
plank. There is reason to believe that
the Mckinley boomers are realizing the
wisdom of making this concession to
eastern sentiment, and that they are
only holding off in order not to lose
their silver delegates and 20 assure
themselves that they have a safe Nc
kinley majority, in the sound money
states. Gen. Grosvenor, the Mckinley
leader on the floor of the house, has
talked very airily at times about the
possibility of nominating Mckinley
without concessions to the supporters
of the gold standard Wiser councils
now appear to prevail in the Mckinley
camp and there is a disposition to con-
ciliate the friends OF Mr. Reed and 10
deprive them of the argument they are
now using against Mckinley in New
York md other commercial centers by
putting the Ohio candidate on a sound
money platform, The eastern dele
gates propose to insist in any case that
such platform shall be framed and
it will probably prove good policy for
the Mckinley men to meet them half
way in the matter in order 10 overcome
opposition to their candidates.
