st. Louis, June 19.-The Minnesota
delegation left here to-day at eleven
o'clock for st. Paul. Most of the dele
gates and visitors are going directly
home Governor Merriam, who was
here in advance, will accompany the
party. The work Of the convention is
highly satisfactory It is the univer-
sal opinion Of the delegation that the
silver men have made a mistake that
they will have reason to repent Of ere
many years. Mr.. Pillsbury expressed
the sentiments of the entire delegation
when he said:
"They have voluntarily read them
selves out of the republican party, and
] am convinced that they will see the
folly of their ways ere the present
campaign, the opening gun of which
was fired yesterday, is over. Sincere
though they may be they doubtless be-
lieve that the sensational incidents at
tendant upon their going out Of the
convention and the pronunciamentos is
sued with such martyr-like ring will
place them in a position to lead a
movement which they imagine to be
a great uprising. In this they are the
most mistaken men of our day and
generation. The American people,
while enthusiastic and sometimes in
voluntary, treat every question of this
character with great care and con-
sideration. 1 have not doubt but
what eventually even the states of
Colorado and Montana will become
strongly welded to sound money and
the men who did not bolt this conven-
ton, although they are just as strong
for silver as those who did bolt, will
be honored and elected to high posi-
tions by our party"
Senator r. F. Pettigrew today wrote
Chairman Babcock, of the republican
national congressional committee,
letter, resigning as a member Of the
national committee. Pettigrew had not
intended to walk out, but, after his
delegation refused to recognize him in
any way on the committee, he decided
to go.
'Pettigrew may be thankful" said
one Of the South Dakota delegation,
.'that he has still five years to serve
in the senate. Were his election to
take place next winter, he would be
badly-defeatedsman"
Hartman is a little fighter. He says
that his state will stand by him, and
he is willing to leave it to his people.
The Towne manifesto is regarded by
the Minnesota delegation as placing
him outside the pale of the republican
party, and 1t is understood that Mr..
Towne will not object to making a
campaign on a free silver independent
ticket 1t will be a great fight in the
Sixth district.
