claims: THAT If Morton wants 1t. he
can have it." It is nevertheless q
patent fact that they feel that Mr.. Reed
would be the candidate if his consent
to make the race was obtained. The
New Jersey delegation, with their can
didate, Hobart, are campaigning act
lively for him and have obtained the
support of the Miller element. Mark
Hanna, McKinley's manager, still
retains his silence as to which side
of the New York controversy he will
indorse, claiming that until his can
didate receives the nomination, 1t
would be unsafe and impolitic for him
to do so. The Miller men assert that
he will aid Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Platt

dars and put and declared carried a
motion to have the organization COM
mittee report. This brought Ell.
Thrrston. the permanent chairman to
the nlatform and I confess was glad
of # for he makes an excellent pre-
siding officer. His speech was brief
and to the point and deservedly
brought out the first real enthusiasm
which has been developed In the con-
vention. Thurston was temporary
chairman at the Chicago convention
which nominated Harrison eight years
ago and his experience, as well as his
excellent voice, enable him to handle
the body. which, without clear and
resolute presiding officer is liable to
become unruly and boisterous.
Aside from Thurston's speech there
was really nothing done until the
afternoon session. The chairman's
hoard was then discarded and the long
talked of gavel presentations took
place. giving him two mallets for some
one to steal tonight. Terrence, of
Minneapolis convention, and as McKin-
presenting the chair in which Nc
Kinley sat when he presided at the
Minneapolis convention, and as McKin-

for considerable applause.
The real important event Of the day
was the report of the credentials COM

cal death to him (Miller) and friends
Hanna, wants to give it to New York
but hesitates to turn Miller down TO
crafty Platt. In this dilemma he Is
leaning to Hobart of New Jersey As
near as can be foretold it looks as
though the race lies between Morton
and Hobart with Hanna as umpire for
Hobart. Mike Bowling says In view
of Morton's candidacy, Nc Alpin is no
longer in the field. There is no ex-
citement over the possible withdrawal
of the silver mob now that the plat
form has been agreed upon with gold"
inserted. The sound money men are
tranquil and mentally echo the bendic-
ticn of the Globe Democrat to silver
men bolt and be damned" Portions
of five states will doubtless withdraw
after the platform is adopted. Teller
words his farewell address to the Re-
publican party in the meeting of the
and 1 don't see why he should go into
convention tomorrow. Any withdrawal
scene that can occur has been already
anticipated and will be without effect
in the light of the former interview
which I wired. The declaration in the
platform that the Republican party
will work for an international agree
ment ought TO give MIN chance TO
remain in the party.
The Reed folks would not surrender
their portico at the Southern for a re-
viewing stand for the Military parade
tonight Hanna's parlors are at the
corner of the hotel on the same side
as the Reed portico and the reviewing
which was done was from that point
Hanna stood at the window bowling
and waving his straw hat but his ap-
pearance did not elicit applause. A
heavy shower nearly ruined the parade
and so dampened the ardor of the
Flambeau club that they did not flash
on the scene They say they will ap-
pear tomorrow night.
There was scarcely a vacant seat in
the Auditorium to-day. Perhaps this
was because the price of tickets has
fallen from S. to 81. The Hanna pro-
gramme is to complete the work to-
morrow, having If necessary an even
ing session. The silver men may not
speak at all and if they do, their time
will be limited. The vote to-day has
cleaned the skies and made the Nc
Kinley pathway easy.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-THE second
day of Mr.. Hanna'S meeting was much
more Of a success than the first. There
has been so much talk about a gavel
presentation that someone thought 1t
would be as well to steal the one in
use yesterday and when Chairman
Fairbanks wanted to call the conven-
ton to order this morning he was
obliged to follow the example Of the
chairman of the recent Democratic
convention in st. Paul and use board
to hammer on the table with. With
such eminent st. Paul precedent no
one either objected or offered to furnish
him anything else and he hammered
about ten minutes in feeble way be-
fore he commanded sufficient attention
to introduce the Methodist minister, in
structing the convention to rise as he
did So The Methodist minister was
not as great success as the rabbi yes
terday, judging from the lack Of ap-
plause. Perhaps 1t was owing to lack
of Methodist ability that caused the
permanent chairman to have his in
nings by calling colored minister to
offer prayer at the opening of the after
noon session. The permanent chair
man, however concluded the conven-
ton knew what prayer meant and did
not order them to rise as Fairbanks did
in the morning. In all the conventions
1 have attended this is the first one
where I ever saw a second session in
one day open with prayer, but sup
pose Hanna ordered it so and 1t will
hereafter be accepted as one of the per-
manent rules of the Republican party
that it requires two prayers day to
serve them. When the colored man
concluded, voice in the gallery yelled
eli Yi,'' which was followed by liberal
applause throughout the building.
Whether it was the prayer or the yell
that was applauded I am still unable
to determine.
When Fairbanks had got settled
down to business at the morning ses-
sion he showed that the Mckinley man
ayers intended to rush things by al
lowing the committee on permanent or
ganization to make their report. This

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, MO-, June 1.-THE vice
presidency is in a peculiar muddle. The
Mckinley men can land it whenever
they please and they don't know what
to do. The natural place is too give it
to New York. The conditions are much
the same as in 1880 when Garfield was
the nominee. The nomination of Car
field was the defeat of the then Boss
Conkling and the nomination of Nc
Kinley will be the defeat of Boss Platt-
