Place.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, October 2.-The Repub
lie, the only morning paper in ST. Louis
which supports the Chicago platform and
ticket, prints a story this morning in
which it claims Governor w. j. Stone of
Missouri has been offered a place in Bry-
ans cabinet should he be elected. 1t says
| this was the cause of Governor Stones
withdrawal in favor Of Vest in the race for
United States Senator. Continuing the
| ticle says: "A close personal and political
| friend who has the reputation Of enjoying
| the governors confidence, says that Mis-
| sCurfs chief executive has been offered and
already accepted the proffer of the secre-
| taryship of the Interior In the event of Mr.
Bryans election. This story has much
| more substantial quality than mere rumor.
| 1t is supposed to be based on a thorough
| knowledge of the relations between Bryan
| and Stone, and an admission which appar-
| emily came direct from the governor in a
| somewhat roundabout fashion,"
