Two Tickets Nominated by the Delegates
at Pittsburg.


at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURa, May 29.-As was antici-
pated by many, the national Prohibition
party split over the money plank of the
platform but, contrary to expectations,
1t was the "broad gaugers' who were
compelled to take the initiative, for the
free silver plank was voted down after a
long discussion. The candidates were
placed upon the narrowest kind Of mar
row gauge platform, embodying merely
the principle of prohibition, and even
omitting the suffrage plank, which has
been feature of its platforms for years
past. Ex-Governor John P. St. John,
seconded by nearly all the Western
delegates, made gallant fight for the
Free Coinage of Silver,
and Helen M. Cougar of Indiana and
Mrs. L. A. Poole of New York struggled
in vain for woman suffrage. but the
narrow guage people controlled the con-
vention and took everything. When
the nominations for president were
reached the name of Charles E. Bentley
of Nebraska, the broad guage candi-
date, was not presented, his boom hav-
ing been burst by the overwhelming
defeat of the silver lorces at the after
noon session. It was long after mid
night before the last business was con-
cluded and the convention adjourned.
Joshua Levering of Maryland was
nominated for president, and Hale john
son of Illinois for vice president.
Broad Guagers Bolt.
The broad guage element left the con-
vention hall late at night and organized

Eleven state chairman were among the
boilers and "a states were represented. 1t
was decided to appoint a committee OF
five to visit the national Democratic
and Populist conventions and invite all
dissatisfied persons to unite with the
national party. The platform adopted
was practically the broad guage plat
form reported at the the Prohibition
convention with less prohibition fea-
lures. Charles E. Bently of Nebraska
was nominated for president and j. H.
Southgate of North Carolina for vice
president.

For the Control of the Democratic Ma

Will he Strong 18 to Plank Adopted.
Vice President Stevenson Will Probably
Be the Nominee.
CHICAGO June 1.-The Times Herald
publishes the following from Walter
Wellman,. it's Washington correspond
ent:
The reported free silver victory in
Kentucky is confirmed by private dis.
patches, and the administration has
given up the fight for control Of the
Chicago convention. 1t is now admitted
on all sides that the silver men will
have control of that convection by a COM
Portable majority, and President Cleve-
land and the members of his cabinet
hope the leaders will adhere to their
purpose of making platform for free
coinage at 16 to 1. In this way, accord
ing to the view of the president, the
country will have an opportunity to
choose between two systems of finances.
thus fastening the coming Of period
of quiet on the currency question.
They Agree With the President.
The silver leaders agree with the
president, oddly enough, and say there
is no doubt that the platform will be
made quite as strong as Mr.. Cleveland
could want it for the purpose Of bring
ing on test vote. Whether the ad-
ministration will or will not advise a
bolt at Chicago largely depends upon
the character Of the platform adopted
at st. Louis. The voice of President
Cleveland is for war in case the plat
form of the Republicans is not unequiv-
ocally for the gold standard. There are
many indications, however, that the ad-
ministration is losing much influence
which it formerly possessed, and that
leading Democrats in all parts of the
country are trying to figure some way
in which they can be saved without the
president assistance or leadership.
Stevenson for President.
There is observable among the silver
men an increased amount of talk about
nominating Vice President Stevenson at
Chicago. A number of senators have
within the last few days declared them
selves in favor of his nomination, and
quite boom for the Illinois man is
now on here. The nomination of Mr..
Stevenson would be very popular in
Washington. for every senator and rep
resentative likes the vice president and
realizes that if he should chance to be
elected he would be a comfortable man
to get along with in the White House.
Various unauthorized statements have
been made that the vice president con-
templated making an explanation of his
views OH the currency question, but
Mr.. Stevenson said he had no such ac-
ton in mind, and did not see that there
was any reason why he should declare
himself He said he was not candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
Everyone in Washington understands
that the vice president is silver man,
and his "soundness'' on that question
is vouched for by many Democratic
senators who talked privately with him.
1t is said here that Governor Altgeld is
interested in the Stevenson movement,
and will throw the Illinois delegation
for him at the proper moment.
