st. Louis, June 16.-The money plank
of the platform has been agreed upon.
1t is victory for the middle west, but
perfectly satisfactory to the extreme
east. The New England contingent,
headed by Lodge of Massachusetts and
backed by the Platt and Quay forces in
New York and Pennsylvania urged the
adoption of short emphatic declara-
ton The middle west, however. for
plulated a pianl. which it insisted
upon, and which was submitted to the
eastern men The latter soon agreed
to it and now that all but the extreme
free silver men are satisfied the general
impression here is that the plank
agreed upon will be put into the plat
form. Senator Foraker will present it
to the committee on resolutions. 1t

The republican party is unreserv-

coinage of silver except by information

til such agreement can be obtained the

being the dominating power in the con-
vention, has had many planks present
ed to him, but all mean practically the
same thing-the maintenance of the
gold standard until an international
agreement can be reached, and unalter-
able opposition 30 free coinage. Coup
led with these declarations there will
be undoubtedly a declaration in favor
of such use of silver as the needs Of
commerce demand but not beyond a
point where the maintenance of parity
would be endangered. Foraker Ohio,
who is chairman of the committee on
resolutions, has had prepared a rough
draft of the platform covering most of
the subjects to be presented. and this
will furnish basis for the work of
constructing the platform, The selec-
ton by various state delegations yes
terday of their membership on the
committees, was rot marked by sensa-
tional incidents save in New York and
Missouri. In New York all the smould-
ering bitterness between Platt and anti
Plat factions broke forth, and Warner
Miller at the head Of the anti-Platt
faction, threw down the gauntlet of
defiance to the New York leader He
made ringing speech in which he
spurned the leadership of man who
had declared that Mckinley was unfit
for the presidency, and moved to de-
pose him by making Depew chairman
of the delegation. Plate, however was
elected chairman.
The situation as to the vice presi-
dency continues indefinite and opinion
does not seem to crystalize. Talk of
Hobart of New Jersey Lippett of Rhode
Island and Evans of Tennessee goes on
but does not seem to be regarded SER
iously. Although the Maine delegation
is not advertising the fact, it is almost
certain that it will present the naEe of
Ex-Governor Cleaves. There is still a
lingering hope among vast number
of delegates that Speaker Reed will be
nominated by spontaneous outburst
in the convention, and ii he is, they
do not believe that he could decline
any more than Logan could in 1884 or
Hendricks and Thurman could when
they were placed on the democratic
tickets in 1884 and 1883 respectively.

ANDY SICK.

Most OF Andv's more intimate friends
have noticed that for the last thirty days
Andy has been constantly losing flesh
and in every way has been running
down in general 80 much that an extra
amount OF stimulants have been neces-
sary in order to hold IL good friend up
to the point OF locomotion. Last Thurs
day some OF our most talented gentle
men and doctors decided to hold q
council oyer the matter and if anything
could be decided upon they were together
willing to do ANYTHING for Andy that
was found necessary. The decision vas
that Andy should stand a rigid examine
alton and everything was put in readi-
ness for that event. DIR. Nichols, Hon.
A. Steele, DR.. Hills, B. Bower and G.
II. Lewis attempted the task. Andy
objected to the work but his friends
proved too much for Andy and Steele
was given Il rope and that same landed
on Andy's neck. After Andy found
that he was gone he gave up but not I'M
til he was landed on his back in the
office of DR.. Hills. On examination it
was found that just below the left arm
pit was deposited a large wood tick. DIR.
Nichols with the assistance of Messrs
Steele and Hills extricated the tick
which is now in pickle at Andy's re-
quest.
Andy threatens to sue the parties for
malpractice.
LATER-Andy is feeling better now
and says he had no idea that there were
so many good friends left.

ANOTHER CONCESSION.
The Southern Pacific People Give Stock
Shippers Further Advantages.

G. F. Smurr,. General Freight Agent
for the Southern Pacific Company, in
formed a Gazette reporter this morning
that on and after April LIST, his company
would give drovers free transportation
home when they make a shipment OF
live stock east or west. This is a liberal
concession on the part of the company
and should, and undoubtedly will be
highly appreciated by the cattle and
sheep men of this State. Heretofore
men going to market with a shipment
of cattle or sheep have been obliged to
pay their fare home, now they return
free. This will save shippers thousands
of dollars annually.-Gazette.

Fine Millinery.

We called at Mrs. Phillips & Linton's
Millinery Store since their Spring Open
ing which was Oh Thursday morning
and saw one of the richest assortment of
goods we over cast an eye upon. The
stock was very carefully selected and the
fashionable dresser from France could
find just what she wants.
Following is listed a few of the rich
articles:
Roses every variety and conceivable
color and combination OF c%olors, orna-
ments of pearls, Persian and Turkish
enamel effects, ribbons in pompadour
and lowered effects, dresden, gauzes
and crepes; fancy braids in nacre and
changeable effects.
Call early and see their elegant line OF
goods.

rANGERNAN TO STAY OUT.

The Call says: Jere Lynch, the new
President of the Hale 4 Norcross Min
ing Company is still r~eticent to outsiders
concerning the plans and purposes oil
the management in connection with the
working OF the mine.
From indirect sources it is ascertained
that the Directors have decided to turn
down Tangerman. Should the police
authorities of Virginia, sustained by the
National Guard of Nevada, guarantee
Mr.. Tangerman the amplest protection,
his services as Superintendent would
not now be accepted.
1t is understood that President Lynch
is DESTROYS of establishing and main
tanning the most amiable relations with
the miners. He was waited upon in
Virginia City by several representative
workmen, who were authorized to speak
for their fellow-workers. They assured
Mr.. Lynch of their personal regard for
himself and their willingness to support
the new management. One concession,
however, they desired, and that was the
appointment of some superintendent
other than Tangerman. "Send us any
body %else," they said. ''Send US a yell
low dog, even, and we will be satisfied;
but We cannot get along with this man.
When President Lynch reported this
interview to the directors there was a
general exchange of. opinion on the sub
ject. The Directors were anxious to
maintain pleasant relations with the
miners, and so it was the sense Of the
meeting hat Mr.. Tangerman's services
at Virginia City should terminate. In
due time the name of the new superin-
tendent will be announced.

the Mckinley men insist that they have
