ONE LOST FOR REED.
New England States Do Not All Fa-
vOr the Maine Man,


MONTPELIER, VT, April 29.-In the Yer
mont Republican convention which was held
today, the enthusiasm was for the party
rather than for candidates and sometimes
IL seemed as if there was tendency to
guard against a demonstration in favor of
any one leader. The preliminaries to or
gan1zat1on were arranged last night and in
accordance with them Chairman Merrill of
the state committee, called the convention to
order today. Hon. w. A. Lord of Montpelier,
was named as temporary chairman. The
work OF further organization was then pro
ceeded with. including the choice of COM
mittees. Ex-Gov. John w. Stewart of Mid
dlesbury, was named chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions
The temporary organization was then made
permanent, and Chairman Lord made brief
address. Following the chairman's address
the convention adopted resolutions reaffirm-
Ing Republican party principles, including
protection and reciprocity of trade On the
financial question the platform says:
The continued agitation for the free coin
age Of silver retards the return of confidence
and prosperity, stands in the way of bene-
fcial legislation, and is in every respect
harmful to the best interests of the |coun-
try"
On the subject of the presidency the plat
form says:
we pledge hearty and loyal support,
promising to keep Vermont where, without a
shadow Of turning, she has always stood
in the front ranks Of the Republican states"
The convention adopted the following reso-
luton as supplemental to the platform:
Resolved, That in the great apostle of pro-
lection, William Mckinley. of Ohio, we rec
ognize the first choice of the Republicans of
Vermont for their presidential candidate
The following delegates ar large to fha
tfonal convention were chosen:
Senator Redfield Proctor, of Rutland; Dr.
H. D. Holton, Of Brattleboro; Col. E. C.
Smith, Of st. Adams; H. S. Prouty, of New
port The alternates selected are Hon. Phil

WANT ALL OR NOTHING.
G. A. r.. Make New Demands on the
City Hall.

The G. A. R. committee, which had IN hano
the securing of quarters in the court mousse
and city hall for the war museum, has de-
cided to refuse the offer OF the county COM
missioners for the use of the tower room. IL
has been the idea of the more conservative
members of the posts that they would De
satisfied with permanent home for the
relics, which will be theirs ii they accept the
tower room, but some of the others want
room in which all the posts can meet, anu
thus save rental of halls.
Mr.. Nash was willing to let the posts nave
the fourth floor as they desired, but the coun-
ty has no money to fix it up. He suggested
that as the posts paid something like $1,000
per year in rental for halls, that they finish
off the half Of the floor themselves. Thls
could be done for about SO, 600, and then they
would have no expense, not even for ele-
vators which would be theirs to use. They
already have plenty of furniture, and only
need to plaster and put in partitions. The
post committees will go before the board Of
court house and city hall commissioners and
make the same request, but word has gone
cut that the board will not listen to any such
proposition.

FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
Georgia Republican Convention
Ended I'm q Row.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 29.-The Republican
state convention assembled at 10 O'Clock. but
was not called to order until IL O'Clock The
delay was caused by a row over admission
to the hall. Chairman A. e. Buck, of the
state central committee, took position at
the door and would only admit those who
had tickets signed by him. A party Of Reed
delegates, unprovided with tickets, gathered
at the door and forced their way in, with
shouts of triumph. Then followed scene
OF stormy confusion, which was only calmed
by the appearance Of a squad of policemen
At Ii o'clock Chairman Buck called the con-
vention to order. There was no appoint
ment Of committee on credentials but the
secretary read the list Of delegates as agreed
upon by the state executive committee. This
done, surprise was sprung by w. A. Pledg-
er, leader of the Reed forces, who arose and
nominated A. e. Buck, the chief Mckinley
champion, temporary chairman. Pledger
explained that he did this as a preliminary
to peaceful convention. He and Col Buck,
he explained, had gotten together and con-
cluded that there was something higher than
factional triumph. Chairman Buck was
thereupon chosen chairman by acclamation
Delegates at large were then placed in
nomination as follows: A. E. Buck, H. T.
Johnson, H. A. Buckner and J. A. Deveraux
The negroes wanted R: r. Wright as one Of
the delegates at large, and they howled and
waved their arms and raved as they pushed
toward the speakers stand. AS soon as the
uproar began Col. Buck yielded the gavel to
Walter Johnson, and retired. The negroes
swarmed about Mr.. Johnson and shook their
fists In his face. The police were called for
ward, and cleared the speakers stand The
tumult continued and as soon as the blue
coats disappeared the mob surged again
about the chair, and Wright again mounted
the stand.
The stand was partially cleared again and
the chair received a motion to adjourn and
declared it carried. He then left the stand
man forced opening between the ne
groes, snatched the gavel, and in very ex-
cited manner called the convention to order
ard in the midst of the din nominated A.
II. Love chairman of new colored conven-
tion. Love was declared elected, and
howled a speech heard only by those within
six feet of him. Committees were appointed
to report on delegates and platform. and
then the delegates who had howled them
selves tired, lapsed into quietude to wait for
the reports The committee on delegates
followed the lead of the convention and split.
The boiling convention finally adjourned,
having indorsed Buck and Johnson, two
of the delegates named by the regular con-
vention, and sent r. R. Wright and ]. E.
Herington as contesting delegates.
The regular convention reconvened tonight.
and after adopting a platform reafflrming
the principles of the Republican party. ad-
journed sine die. The financial plank de-
clared strongly for sound money. The fol-
lowing delegates at large were chosen: M.
E. Buck, J. H. Davaux, H. A. Rucker and
H. L. Johnson. The first three are pledged
to Mckinley. Johnson is understood to favor
Reed.

SOUND MONEY WON.
Carried Everything I'm the Michigan
Democratic Convention.

DETROIT, Mich, April 29.-Sound money
had won complete victory when the Mich
igan Democratic convention adjourned this
evening. On the questions which were most
closely contested, this victory was accom-
plisfed by the narrow margin of IS majority,
OF total Of some 300 votes. The administra-
tion men obtained the organization, adopted
their resolutions entire, and elected all their
candidates. The free silver contingent took
their defeat hard, but there is no anticlpa-
ton of any bolt, although such talk was in
dulged in by a few of the radicals. They
assert that, without the use of the unit rule
IN many counties, the convention would GER
tainly have gone on record for free silver
The administration men are jubilant over
the result. There was considerable disorder
and much hot personal debate, but nothing
approaching an actual row.
