ganizcd Opposition to MCI<inley-SOund
Money Sentiment Strengthening.
St Louis, June 12,--There was a
change in the situation here this mora
ing. The arrival of Mr., Platt and his
lieutcnants from New York put life into
the fight for the sold standard and the
fight against the man whose position
on the money question is unknown.
Mr.. Plat said this morning: Il am
here to fight to the end for Governor
Morton and a platform that shall de-
clare for the gold standard of finance.
THE lines of the opposition to Nc
Kinley have been materially strength
ened since yesterday. We are here to
fight, and we will fight to the last ditch
Governor Morton's name will be pre-
scented to the convention So will the
names of Reed, Allison and Quay. We
will all stand up and be counted.
'All of Reeds delegates are firm in
spite of the action of Mr.. Manley. The
conduct of the latter makes him not
only an object of ridicule, but of con-
tempt. | am not making any predic-
lions as to the result of the convention.
but the fight against Mckinley is going
on to the end, and the opposition is
stronger to-day than ever.

reason to believe that the platform will
declare for gold in unmistakable

story to the effect that Mr.. Platt and
Mark Hanna had long conference last
night. Mr., Plat said to-day that the
story was absolutely false. It have
not seen Mr.. Hanna or any man con-
nected with the Mckinley movement
since 1 have been here, and 1 do not ex-
pect to have any conferences with
Them" he said.
The hearing Of the New York con-
tests has been adjourned until to-mor-
TOW at the request of Cornelius N. Bliss,
who telegraDhed to the national COM
mittee not to take them up until he got
there.
Anti Mckinley Men Rally Around
Platt.
The friends of Reed, Allison, Morton
and Quay are rallying around Mr.
Platt. They recognize in him a leader,
and a man who cannot be carried off
his feet by the rush and the roar of the
Mckinley boom.
Mr.. Plat and his followers are also
going to make a vigorous fight against
the methods of the national committee

more chance of getting into heaven
| than an anti-McKinley delegate had of
getting into the convention.
| But already there is an evidence of
| change in the policy of the Mckinley
| men who dominate the committee and
map out it's work. Their high-handed
work in seating Mckinley delegates
without any regard to the merits of the
contest has Disguised. many fair-mind-
ed men who We're in favor of the Ohio
candidate Some of the republican
leaders of the west have Joined with
! those of the east in denOuncing the
work Of the national committee as an
| outrage.
| There was a let-up last night in the
| policy of seating only Mckinley men
| Two Morton delegates from Florida
We're seated, and later a motion to re-
| consider that action was defeated. This
was the first break in the plan of the
Ohio crowd to decide every contest in
| favor of their candidate There is NJ
doubt that they were forced to this &C
| ton by the vigorous and outspoken OPP
| position which their course has arOus-
ed. A Mckinley delegate from Cali
fornia said to a group of national COM
mitteemen:
eff you have enough votes to nomi-
nate your candidate without any OF
| those from the districts where there are
contests, why can't you afford TO act
| honest and fair"
That is the feeling that has beer
aroused among all factions of repub-
| licans, and now that Mr.. Platt anC
other anti Mckinley leaders are here tC
| lead the fight, there is plenty of evil
: dence this morning that future contests
may possibly be decided on their mer.
it's.
fractional Differences.
| Two days ago the fight between Nc
| Kinley on one side and the four Oppos-
ing candidates, in spite of all the talE
to the contrary, had not reached that
degree of bitterness which threatened
| permanent fractional differences within
the party. But the bulldozing and snaI
judgment methods of the national COM
mtttee in deciding contests has chang
ed all this.
The feeling is growing more bitter
every hour, and the situation is now
ripe for the breaking out of interna
| differences in the party, that will be
carried to the polls in November. The
Mckinley managers undoubtedly are
beginning to realize this fact, and they
have not said an unkind word of Mr.
Plat or any other leader of the opposi-
ton to-day.
