He Denounces Boodlers From the North
 Who Seduce the Faithful.
 St. Louis, June 15.--It is announced by Senator Lodge that a majority of the committee on resolutions will report a gold standard plank
 A debate that for. heat and vigor of language rivaled that of some of the stormy sessions of last week was precip- itated in this mornings meeting of the national republican committee upon the motion of MT. Payne of Wisconsin, changing the basis of representation in the next national convention in such a manner as to increase the delegations from the north and decrease those from the south. When the debate was at it's height Colonel Youngblood of Alabama created sensation by vigorous ad- dress, in which he charged that conflicts among republicans in the south and dis ruption of that party in that region were due to corrupt men coming from the north with their pockets full of poodle to seduce and fix" in the interest of their candidates republicans who under other circumstances would be loyal to the party organization. Stop your fix ing" he shouted, land stay at home. Southern republicans can take care of themselves. Keep your poodle at home. The very man who Is accused of first starting disruption in, 1880 sits in the senate of the United States today. We don't want your interference; we. don't want your money; let us alone"

That Is the Prognosticahon of Editor Hor-
 ace Hood.
 Montgomery, June 15-(Special).T Journal says editorially this afternoon:
 Tt has been generally understood among Alabama republicans that if Me Kinley was nominat led at St. Louis on a gold platform or platform that opposed free silver, and the Vaughan faction of the republican party was recognized and Moseley turned down by the national committee that another convention would be called for the purpose of putting out a straight republican ticket, headed by Major Burke of Calhoun, on gold platform.
 "The Vaughan, or Mckinley, faction were only prevented from doing this at their recent convention in this city by a fear that Vaughan would not be recog- nized as chairman of the state republican committee, and they did not want to jeop- ardize his chances by premature action before the national committee, not know ing whether 1t was a Mckinley or anti Mckinley committee.
 "Now the news comes from St. Louis, from the Journals correspondent who is on the scene, that since Vaughan's victory over Moseley the former plans of the Me- Kinleyites are to be carried out. Immedi- ately after their return to Alabama, or soon thereafter, they will call conven- tion and nominate Burke for governor with full state ticket on gold platform, and a prominent Alabama republican is quoted as saying he expects the gold dem ocrats to vote for him."

ST. LOUIS CHESS BOARD Nothing Like "Check" Has Been Said to Mckinley.
  MIR. HANNA'S LATEST MOVE
 F Looks as if He Were Clearing the Way to "Castle" Today
BUT MIR. PLATT HAS NOT RESIGNED YET
The Tariff Plank Outlined-Senator Platt Says It Will Be "Gold'-Y Youngblood Reelected Committeeman for Ala
 bama and Is Real "Sassy."

The national committee was in session until about o'clock this morning wrest- ling with the New York cases, says Joe Ohl, on the ground at St. Louis, In yes terdays Constitution. Some of their de- cisions pleased the man who stood for the republican party of New York, but he was exceedingly wrathy at others which recognized the Brookfield doings; and while MT. Platt may not have just now as many people chasing after him as Mark Hanna has, he is still not dead by a long sight. Early in the day he sum- moned a few of the faithful. Henry Ca bot Lodge was there and so was Char ley Foster, and so were number of oth- CTS of the tried and true, notably the rep resentatives of eastern banking inter- ests who are here in such force. Platt laid down. the law.
 "The word gold must be in the plat form," said he, and he bade Foster carry that information to his fellow Ohioan, Hanna. This was supplemented by the declaration that unless the gold standard was expressly and explicitly declared for, he PlatD would carry the fight on to the floor of the convention, and, per haps, further. e

prepared by the national committee as the permanent roll of regularly elected delegates to the convention.
 This statement is disquieting to those delegations whose claims were rejected by the national committee and who were sanguine of the reversal of that verdict at the hands of either the credentials committee or the convention.
 As the temporary roll now stands Del aware is unrepresented under the decision of the committee, which refused to recog- nize either Addicks or Higgins delegates, and should this roll be adopted as the regular roll, then for the first time in the history of national republican conven- tions state having representation in the electoral college will be debarred from taking part in it's deliberations.
 It is understood that the proposal is based upon a desire to expedite business in view of the large number of appeals to be lodged with the committee and also to prevent the reopening of any of the New York contested cases, which occasioned so much excitement in the committee room

are lowering around Bolondron, Matan-
 gas province, with 2000 men waiting for
 the arrival of Marjia Rodriguez from Camaguey, or Francisco Carrillo, if he should happen to come there. In butcheries here are a few authentic cases:
 In Sabanilla, Matanzas province, on the 9th instant, two young lads named
 Fernando Vega and Manuel Jimenexwere
 taken from their homes in the town and
 killed in the fields near by, without any
 apparent reasons save for the pleasure
 of killing and for the Spaniards to satisfy
 their thirst for blood on defenseless peo-
 pie, whose sole crime lies in their bear ing the Cuban stamp on their faces. The mayor of the same town of Saba
 nilla, named Vincent Orriele, and cap
 tain of the local guerrillas, with section
 of the same, whilst marching through
 the sugar estate of Carmen. belonging to MT. Alfredo Hernandez, came across four laborers, who were sowing corn in
 patch of ground, and, without warning, fired on the poor wretehes, killing them outright, leaving their bodies on the ground to be devoured by the buzzards and dogs. Here are the names of the victims: Federico Garcia, Floreicio Yor- jas, Secundino Hernandez and Sisto Mol renjon.
 Two days before the same guerrillas killed tenant of the estate named Cele- | tini Cruz, the father of fourteen children, of which two daughters are married to corporals in the Spanish army, one a civil guard and the other of the regular troops. They also burned the farm houses of the tenants of that same estate, belonging to Federico and Ramon Banera, brothers,
 and Ysidro Sanches, all white men of
 some means, saying that since the rebels
 are burning Spanish towns, they would
 burn Cuban homes The next day they
 returned and threatened the other ten
 ants and the man in charge of the estate
 that they would burn all the buildings
 of the same if they did not clear out of
 the place immediately.
 MT Alfredo Hernandez, the owner be-
 ing an American citizen, reported the fact to Consul-General Lee, who carried the case to General Weyler, and 1t Is said that orders were issued to protect the property and stop committing further outrages on the same.
 Of course all the above crimes have been reported as victories" obtained over rebel bands, and the houses burned as "camps captured and destroyed"

Florida Democrats Meet rodav.

Ocala, Fla, June 15.-The Florida dem- ocrats will meet here in convention to- morrow to nominate a state ticket from governor down and select eight delegates to the national convention at Chicago. A majority of the delegates have been instructed for free silver, but the majori- ty is small and there is an impression that the gold men, who control the ma chinery, will be able to overcome 1t. No fight has been made for gold, the friends of that metal working to secure unin- structed delegates. In consequence there is formidable minority of delegates who are uninstructed, but are supposed to be really for gold. The silver men would undoubtedly easily control were it not that they are opposed to the men who have ruled democratic politics in this state for years. United States Sena- tor Pasco is a silver delegate from Jeff ferson county, and he may prove a match for the opposition leaders. If the gold men carry the day 1t is said they will ignore the money question in the plat form and send uninstructed delegates to Chicago.
 Ex-Governor and present Comptroller w. B. Bloxham is the leading candidate for governor, but he is said to indorse Cleveland's financial policy and this may cause the silver delegates to oppose him. In that case MT. Bloxham might be beat- en, as it requires a two-thirds vote to nominate.

THE TARIFF PLANK.
It Was Prepared by Hanna and Will Be
 Stiffly Protective

It Was Prepared by Hanna and Will Be
 Stiffly Protective.
 St. Louis, June 15.-Mark Hanna has prepared the tariff plank of the platform. It win be stiffly protective and IS under stood to distinctly reflect McKinley's views. It will not demand the restora- tion of the rates of duty fixed in the law of 1S90,a nor will it refer specifically to that law as the Mckinley act" All personal reference to the author of the tariff bill which passed the FYfty-frst congress will be avoided. It will call for such increase of duties as will amply protect American manufacturers and farmers from foreign competition. The platform will contain special reference to the wool industry. It will recite the ben efits which the wool grower enjoyed un- der the Mckinley law, and 1t will advo- cate the restoration of the rates which were in vogue when the present law was enacted.
 It will contain strong declaration fa- voring the restoration of the duty on su- gar. It will point out that the practica- bility of growing sugar successfully in the United States has been clearly dem onstrated, and it will assert that the ex- pansion of this industry will materially aid farmers and increase the value of their land. It has been suggested that the sugar schedule should provide for free sugar with bounty of cents a pound to growers of the domestic prod- uct, as was the case in the law of 1890. Some of the republican leaders objected to the bounty provision, arguing that the paragraph relating to sugar shall merely stipulate for an adequate protec- tion to the American grower.

bama by over 5O,OOO. Goodwin ought to come down."
 But the guillotine was ceaselessly at work In the committee room and the heads were falling into the Mckinley basket as Morton and Quay victims en- tered the saloon of the girondists. Those who looked on shuddered-those who walked away had blood on their feet that stained gold standard carpet of velvet and many hues.
 ''The king dies-the king lives!" was the old cry that rang out along the cor riders, and hope revived among the ex- peetant throng when it was announced that the Hon. William Vaughan of Bir- mingham was to rule and reign and wear the purple of the decapitated Moseley. This may give us cleaner politics in Ala bama. When the Hon. William Young blood walked out of the committee room your correspondent followed him down the stairway to the street. where he saw him throw several scalps into the sewer and wipe blood from a long, keen ma chete.
 Platt Has Come.
 Everybody in the lobby of the hotels repeated this cry of alarm last night when the Hon. Thomas c. Platt, the ''easy boss" arrived at the Southern ho- tel Artists sketched him and reporters sharpened their pencils, tongues wagged, and though the Mckinley shouters ap- peared to be stolidly indifferent the mer- cury dropped 20 degrees in twenty sec onds.
 Is He Going to FightP
 In half an hour the word passed the rounds among the friends of those who had been slaughtered by the committee to cheer up, and smiles like roses bloomed where frowns and doubts before had grown. By II o'clock at night it was known that "Platt said fght?' and Man ley, poor Manley, the champion of the czar of Maine, who had given up the fight, this morning donned his armor and fell into line. The drums are beating and there is call to arms as I write and close this letter at g o'clock p. m. Our defeated republican friends from Alabama can take comfort in the refiec- tion that If the tide for free and unlim- ited coinage of silver continues to rise the inundation to follow in November will sweep from the face of the earth their enemies.

 Montgomery, June 15.-(Special)-Th bicycle meets here on next Monday and Tuesday promise to be very important affairs. Already more than thirty of the fastest riders in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia have entered for the races. The riders from Tennessee and Georgia are not now in the southern circuit, but races have been provided for them in addition to the regular programme. The circuit is now composed of the following cities Meridian, Miss; Birmingham, Montgom- cry, Selma, Mobile, Jacksonville, Fla, and Pensacola, Fla.

T, Democrats Will Sit on the Fence and Watch
 It Out.

Ashville, June 15.--(Special.)-There was populist convention at Coal City on Saturday, the 18th, called for the pur- pose of nominating a candidate for the legislature to fill the vacancy on the county ticket occasioned by the nomina- tion of W. s. Forman for auditor. There were a number of candidates for the nomination, but the prize fell to the lot of John Yarbrough of Ashville, chairman of the county executive committee. MT. Yarbrough is a gentleman above re- proach and will doubtless poll the strength of his party. His only opponent is Daniel s. Jones, republican. The dem ocrats will put out no ticket. They will indorse neither of the other candidates, and at present it is difficult to tell what the individual members of the party will do. Anyhow, the race between the pop ulites and republicans will be interesting.

 oner--Populites Coming Over.
 Dadeville, June 15.-(Special)-Polit is warming up and the outlook is that the democrats will carry Tallapoosa county by a good majority. The negro, Mercer Farrell, of more than ordinary intelligence for his color, has announced for coroner on the peoples party ticket, subject to the action of the primary next Saturday. He states in his circular that no white man had asked for coroner, and as the republicans were entitled to part of the offices and his color was not represented on the ticket 1t is but just to give him the place. It has been sug- gested that the negro wants to get before the people in order to run for probate judge two years hence, as he Is no fool, and he openly declares that there will be only two parties in Tallapoosa now, the democrats and republicans as the popultes will have merged into the re- publican party after the race this sum- mer, and he wants to be prominent and ready for fat office.
 The executive committee of the county democratic party met today to decide on the day to make nominations for the county Chairman Vaughn Is vigilant and expects to make a noble fight in the county to prevent the combine from get ting control. He feels confident of suc- cess.
