Convention Hall I'm Readiness for the
of the Telegraph Companies.

ST. LOUIS, June Up to date there
are fully five times as many out-of- town
newspaper correspondents in St. Louis who
have come TO the national convention than
politicians. Less than half a dozen poll
ticians of national repute have put in an
appearance. 1t is not expected there will
be much real activity in a political way
until the arrival of NJ. A. Hanna, Major
Mckinley's manager, with his forces. He
Is expected Tuesday, and also is the
Hon. Thomas c. Platt. who is coming to
look after the interests of Levi p. Nor
ton. 1t is also said that Ex-Governor Gear,
of Iowa, will put in an appearance before
the middle of the week, with a corps of
assistants, to engage in the preliminary
skirmish in behalf of Senator William b.
Allison. The bill-posting brigade of the
Hawkeye candidate was here to-day, and
as a result Autograph portraits of Senator
Allison have been hung in shop windows
and posted on the dead walls of the town.
The national committeeman will all be
here before the close of the week. All the
arrangements for handling the crowd
have been completed. The convention hall
has had all the finishing touches and will
be dedicated with pomp and ceremony this
week.
None of the managers of the Republican
presidential candidates have as yet ar
rived. Mckinley has number of neuten-
ants here. however. The latest arrival is
ex-Congressman Thompson, of Ohio, who
with General Grosvenor, will argue the
contested Mckinley delegates before the
national committee. AS yet but two ma
tional committeeman have arrived. They
are Hill, of Tennessee, and j. G. Long, OF
Florida. Both are avowed Mckinley men.
According TO an interview with Chauncey
l. Filley. the Republican leader of Missouri,
William Mckinley will not be nominated on
the first ballot. Mr.. Filley declares that
Major Mckinley can be nominated on the
first, but his friends and managers will not
attempt such a move, owing to the cour-
tesies due to each other candidate whose
right it is to have his name presented.
voted upon and to have the vote an
nounced.
A good deal of gossip has been caused
by the sudden departure of Richard c.
Kerens, Of this city. Chauncey /. Filleys
political opponent, for Canton, O., last
night. IT is said he went on telegraphic
request from Major Mckinley. In regard
to the matter the Republic in the morning
will say: 'Kerens's friends declare that the
object of his visit is TO confer with Nc
Kinleys lieutenants throughout the coun-
try, who are to be assembled before Ham
ma leaves for st. Louis. The theory of the
Filley men is that Mckinley proposes to
call Kerens off and insist that he shall
make no further warfare on the regular
Republican organization In Missouri

The Convention.

No definite news has been re-
celved from st. Louis. There is
little doubt, however, that McKin-
ley Will be nominated on the first
ballot. AS to vlce-president, con-
siderable doubt exists, but Morton,
Hobart, and Evans appear to be the
favorltes, any n of whom would
make an acceptable running mate
for the great apostle of Protection.
As for the platform, the determin-
alton seems to be to oppose free
coinage except by international
agreement and declare infavor of the
present standard. This does not
suit Senator Teller and the free
silyerites from the Rocky Mountain
states who will bolt the party. APP
p~arently, no concession will suit
them-they demand a plank IN
favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to
L, or nothing.
