Declare Himself on the Money Question.
wAsHISGroN, May 2s.-The Mckinleyites
In Washington are very much disturbed at tho
suggestion made to-day by Senator Carter,
Chairman OF the Republican National Com.
mittee. that II may be necessary TO postpone
tho meeting time Of the st. Louis Convention
Tor a month or So, owing TO the damage done
IN that city By Yesterdays terrible tornado.
Mr.. Garter has not yet received details as to
the damage done. especially to the teleRraphiS
and railroad facilities and 10 the Convention
hall, but his mere intimation that II might
be determined TO postpone the Convention has
raised a storm Of protests from the Mckinley
camp. The boomers OF the Ohio candidate
would be very much pleased II they could hold
their Convention tomorrow, for they under
stand as well as the general public does that
the crest of the Mckinley wave was reached
some time ago, and that each day that passes
increases the feeling in tho public mind that
the wabbling candidate is not the man for the
hour.
Another thing that Is giving the Mckinley
men great uneasiness to-day is the ad mission
on the part OF practically all the delegates in
Washington that the Chicago Convention will
be controlled by the free-silver element. Sena-
tor Brice, who went into tho fight In behalf Of
sound money early In the campaign, said to
THE SuS correspondent a month ago that the
sound mon would certainly control the
Convention, at least TO the extent OF nominal
ing the ticket, even though the free-sllver men
should have Il small actual majority. To-day
he said to the same correspondent that no
power on earth could prevent the freo-silver
men from controlling the Convention abso-
lutely. as they will have a majority Of at least
$50.
The Senator added in a sort of ~facetious way
that senator Teller would probably be the
Democratic nominee, but IL is none the less true
that there Is a serious and carefully arranged
plan on foot to nominate Teller IN the Demo-
cratic Convention on q free-silver and moderate
public men In Washinston who are not willing
to admit that unse: these circumstances Teller
Mckinley men believe that there is danger of
this, and they also frankly admit that they are
