Portland Press Thinks He Heard the
HHnd Wagnn Music


Portland, Me-, June i2.-TEe Portland
Press, the leading Republican paper of
Maine, says today ctlitorially:
Mr. Manley's public statement that he
believes Mr Mckinley would be Nominated
on the first ballet was entirely unoslied
for. Every eminent man has known for
months that the chances were greatly i'll
favor Of Mr. Mckinley. Mr.. Reeds sup
porters knew that the outlook was not bril-
liant, but they were all going to st Louis
determined To stand by him loyalty and Ike
the best fight possible
But now, lust on the eve of their depar-
ture. the man whom they had a right to re-
gard as tiicir leader anI from whom they had
a right TO assume that no discuura cement
would GENE. even if encouragement were
out of the question. ma kes proclamation that
lac considers the nomination all settled and
in the same breath announces that. never
tlicIess. he expects the Reed delegates TO
make a fight.
"A commander who finding his force
greatly outnumhered, surrendeTs, IS en-
Titled to some credit. for he saves the lives
Of his men: but cornman nder who dispirits
his forces by telling them that they are
sure 10 lie beaten and then insists upon
their going into the fight. can hardly lay
claim 10 humanity OF generalship or any
thing else.
Ii has been suggested that Mr.. Manley
made his statement of belief that Mr..
Mckinley would he nominated on the first
ballot as a way of introducing his sui'se-
qUent statement that Mr.. Reed would,
under no circumstances, accept the Vice
Presidency.
Bat Mr.. Manieyh has been able to ma Ike the
last assertion several times during the past
month without finding it necessary to
couple with it the first one, so that expia-
nation does not explain.
1T seems more probable that Mr.. Manley
vas thrown off his balance by the music on

convention. and will resist vigorously any
speedy action on the previous question.
MAY LAST A WEEK.
The st. Louis people, of course, want a
long convention, and fortunately for them
II looks as IL the session would last for
four or five days, probably winding up on
Saturday. 1t took two days only at Chi
cago, In 1860, TO nominate Lincoln and
Hamlin, and the same length OF time in Bal
tiinore when Lincoln and johnson were
put on the ticket. Grant and Colfax, ut
Chicago, and Grant and Wilson at Phila-
delpliia, each were nominated after two
days work, but a convention of three days
was necessary for Hayes and Wheeler at
Cincinnati, In 1876.
Tic days OF long Republican conventions
began with the celebrated anti-Grant fight
in Chicago i'll 1880. the convention then
lasting from Wednesday, June to Tues
day. June 8. or six working days. Blaine
and Logan. in Chicago, in 1884, took four
days. and four years later, at the same
place. 1T required seven days, including a
Sunday morning, TO fix up the nominal !,
OF Harrison and Morton.
With these records staring them in the
face, delegates may not be surprised il they
do not return to their families until after
tile end of next week.

In Spite of Then, Tone of Stock Mar
ket Remained Firm.

het hemhineu r lrm.
New York, June 12.-After a firm OPEN
ing, which was quickly followed by u
slight decline, the stock market gathered
strength and prices advanced briskly. The
slight hesitation after the opening was
due to the engagement of nearly $2,OO0,-
600 of gold for shipment to Europe and the
advance in the posted rates OF sterling eX-
change of 1-2 to 4SS 1-2 and 4S9 1-2.
The advance in sterling exchange means
further gold shipments next week. The
strength of the stock market in the face
OF these developments surprised the trad
ers, who are accustomed to look for lower
prices to follow gold shipments.
London proved TO be the main support
of the local market this morning and its
purchases of st. Paul and Louisville and
Nashville were much commented upon.
1t appears tha5 tile foreigners have been
advised from this side that the outlook for
a gold plank at st. Louis has improved,
and that the free silver advocates will not
have walkover at Chicago by any means.
The foreign buying encouraged local op-
orators, and the latter were m oderate buy
ers of the leading issues. The advance in
prices ranged from 1-2 to l IA per cent,
the internationals, grangers, Bay State Gas
| and the Southwesterns all being prominent.
/ Manhattan and Sugar were weak. The
former was influenced by the hitch in
the negotiations with the rapid transit
commission and the latter by the decline
in the refined product. At IL O'Clock the
| market was strong in tone.
With the exception of Manhattan, which
| sold down to 100 "a, the stock market
| since IL O'Clock has been firm. The fluc-
| tuations were confined within compara-
| lively narrow limits outside of Sugar.
which rose from 122 SO to 1913 IA The
early advance in the general list was well
maintained, aud the fact that London con-
tinued purchaser. encouraged their work
| ing for higher prices.
