Up the Party Platform.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-General Gros-
venor issued his last bulletin tonight, but
in throwing away his ready pencil, the
General makes an important admission to
be found at the last end Of his bulletin"
He gives assurance that Mckinley will not
repeat the error made at Columbus. when
he wrote the wobbling, straddl.ng platform
which forms the neat point of his campaign.
He will let others write it and he will ac-
cept it, Thus reads the last Grosvenor
statement:
Last week closed the election of delegates
20 the ST. Louis convention, and Mckinley
was indorsed by all the States which ex-
pressed an opinion during the week-Wash-
ington, Wyoming. West Virginia and North
Carolina. The free silver States, Of course,
refused the Endorsement of Mckinley, and
their delegates are uninstructed as to per-
sons, but they have received very peremp-
tory orders as to principles. There are now
elected 91S delegates, but four in Arizona,
four in New Mexico and four in Oklahoma
must depend on the future action Of the
national convention for seats in that body.
the official call only authorizing them to
elect two delegates in each of the Territories.
The following States have elected either
solid Mckinley delegations or delegations
with majority of Mckinley men. so that
it may be conceded that McKinley's fol-
lowers will control these States to wit:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Arizonia, Florida. Georgia. Illinois Indiana,
Kansas Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jer-
sey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio.
Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Ten
nessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West
Virginia. Wisconsin, Wyoming and the Ter
ritories OF New Mexico and Oklahoma. Only
three of these States have contests for the
entire delegations. and, throwing them out,
there would be left twenty-nine Mckinley
States and Territories to eject members of
the committee on credentials To-day the
Mckinley delegates elected are as follows:

CLEVELAND. May 1.-THE delegates to
the Methodist Episcopal General Confer
ence found time to-day to discuss politics
in connection with 4.ie election of the bish-
ops. The failure of any Of the leading can
didates TO receive two-thirds vote has in
spired talk to the effect that a motion will
be made tomorrow TO change the rule so as
10 provide that the elections shall be by a
majority instead of two-thirds. 1t is also
said that a motion will be made to elect
lieved however, that either of these mo-
tions will prevail. The friends of DR.. Buttz,
DIR. McCabe and DR.. Cranstcn are still con-
fident OF the success of those candidates
and much earnest electioneering has been
done to-day, and the contest, when the
baloting is resumed tomorrow, Is likely
to prove very spirited.

"In Mississippi there is contest for dele

delegations are equally enthusiastic for Nc

The same is true OF one of the districts OF

column. In this statement are number Of
palpable errors, as, for instance, they give
Mckinley but one vote in Connecticut, only
thirty-six in Illinois, and but fourteen in
Virginia. The errors in these States alone
would run the estimate OF the Press up to
that of the New York Tribune.
The support offered Governor Mckinley
in the country at large has been greatly
intensified during the week, and a strong
assurance Of support has come from men
who up to this time have supported other
candidates.
THE attack upon Mckinley, emanating
from New York, upon the question of
money, has aroused a great deal of very
bitter feeling among the distinguished Re-
publcans in the East-men who believe
that when the fight has been fairly made
and triumphantly won by one candidate,
the friends of other candidates should not
join to weaken the victor before the people.
But the friends Of Governor Mckinley
know that these attacks upon the Governor
have had the effect to rally to his support

is the last bulletin of figures which I shall

"One Of the unwritten rules of political
campaigns which has seldom been violated
by any candidate for the presidency is that
a candidate shall not make platform. The
