Wolcott Withdraws From the
Contest for a Seat at
st. Louis.
wRANGLE OVER THE POLICY.
Resolutions Strongly Favor the Free
Coinage of Silver and Protec.
tion TO Industries.

PUEBLO, CoLo., May 14-The Republi-
can State Convention was called to order
this afternoon by Chairman Howbert. DR..
John Grass of Trinidad was selected
temporary chairman, and after a creden-
tials committee was appointed recess
was taken. The defeated minority of the
Arapahoe County Convention appeared be-
fore this committee to appeal for repre-
sentation in certain districts. Arguments
were made on both sides. 1t was openly
stated that should the convention decide
to unseat any of the delegates by favoring
the minority appeal the entire Arapahoe
delegation will withdraw from the conven-
ton.
A telegram from Senator Wolcott was
read announcing his desire to withdraw
from the contest for seat in the National
Convention at st. Louis as delegate from
Colorado in the interest of harmony and
the cause OF bimetalism. The friends of
Wolcott are now confining their efforts to
preventing q vote of censure. 1t is not be-
lieved that this will be done; neither will
the delegates be instructed to bolt.
The report of the Committee on Creden-
tials was submitted at 9:30 clock. It de-
cided against the appeal of the McMurray
faction of Denver for representation. No
further fight was waged and the conven-
tion was ready for work.
The delegates were not inclined to allow
business to proceed until resolutions de-
fning the policy of the Colorado Republi-
cans were adopted and long wrangle en-
sued.
Speeches in plenty were heard and they
kept the delegates in a measure pacified
until nearly midnight when the committee
on resolutions reported. There was a hot
fight in committee on account of the ex-
pected clash between the Wolcott and
Teller factions.
1t was finally decided to let Senator
Henry NJ. Teller head the Colorado dele
CATION. This was reported TO the conven-
tion and his nomination was made unan-
imous.
Instructions to cast the Colorado vote
according to his views were also passed.
The resolutions were strongly in favor
of free coinage OF silver at Is to 1 and pro-
lection to American industries. Free
trade and the gold standard were roundly
scored
At :45 A. NJ. the convention adjourned
sine die, after electing Senator Teller, J. W.
Rockefellow, James Downing and Frank
Goudy delegates at large to the St. Louis
convention.
The convention of Republican delegates
in the Second Congressional District
to-day selected Charles Brickenstein of
Coneios and c. ]. Hart of Pueblo as dele
gates to the st. Louis convention upon a
platform which instructed them to abide
by Senator Teller's judgment in ali mat
ters. A resolution instructing the dele
gates not to bolt failed to pass.
State Chairman irving Howbert has re-
signed. Who his successor will be is as
yet problematical.

vestigation into their case prior to receiv-
ing any representations from Consul Gen.
eral Williams.
Captain-General Weyler has issued in
structions in reference to his recent edict
calling upon all peasants to seek refuge in
the towns. General Weyler is reported as
saying that the concentration of peasants
in the towns is not obligatory. but merely
for the benefit of the inhabitants them
selves. He also says that he is willing to
employ in the army all who shall surren-
der voluntarily. He will be an energetic
enemy, he says, but generous to those who

WASHINGTON D. C. MAY I4.-It is as
serted tonight that since the convention
here OF the A.P. A. the Ohio delegates tel.
egraphed to Mr.. Ha ma dispatch, the ma
ture OF which was TO prevent Mr.. Grosve-
nor from making any further utterances
detrimental to Judge Stevens, and that the
reply to the telegram was of character
thoroughly satisfactory to the friends of
Mckinley in the association.
The address of President Traynor, which
was made public tonight, says that the
A. 2. A. has passed the probationary
milestone of its existence, and to-day is a
recognized factor in American politics.
whose favor is openly courted by political
leaders, organizers and aspirants for pub
lie office who year ago ignored, treated
with contempt and denounced it.
The address does not SAVIOR of much re-.
gard for eleventh hour converts and much
stress is given to similar points question
ing the honesty of parties in efforts to con
troll the A. P. A. vote and organization.

DEL EGATE MAGEE TALKS.
Defends the Sound Money Policy of Major
lMckinIeu.

4uch tntPI,
PITTSBURG. Pa, May 15.-C. l.. Ma
gee, who is a delegate to the Republican
National Convention from the Pittspurg
district, returned to-day from New York.
where he has been several days looking
over the political situation. Asked about
the talk being INDUCED in at the metropo-
lis concerning McKiuley's attitude on the
currency question, Mr.. Magee said:
1.-The anxiety displayed by Messrs. Quay
and Platt as TO Major McKinley's position
on the money question is rather amusing,
considering that whatever record Major
Mckinley has made on that question was
made in Congress prev 3us to 1892; yet in
that same year-1892-McKinIey money
record was so good that Mr.. Quay cast his
vote for him for President in the Repub-
ican National Convention.
"McKinley's record on the money oues-
ton is as sound as Sherman's, and nobody
questions Sherman's. Another point.
Benjamin Harrison has al ideal sound
money record. Yet this did rot prevent
Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Platt and the other con-
splrators Of their school from attempting
TO defeat the nomination of Harrison in
1892, just as they are now seeking to de-
feat the nomination of Mckinley.
'Their efforts were not effective then
and will not be this year. There is not the
slightest danger that Mckinley as Presi-
dent will be different from Mckinley as
Congressman or Mckinley as Governor of
Ohio, in both of which positions he has
been the soundest kind of sound money
man. 10 question McKinley's soundness
on money is as absurd as to question his
soundness on the tariff

RALEIGH, n. c., May 1.-THE Repub-
Iican State Convention did not meet until
nearly l o'clock this afternoon. A com
mittee on credentials was appointed and
the convention adjourned in thirty min
utes. 1t did not reassemble until 8
o'clock this evening, so numerous were
the contested seats. 1t is believed that the
convention will not adjourn until late to-
morrow night.
1t is asserted that Senator Pritchard
will head the delegates-at-large to the
National Convention. The greatest inter-
est is manifested in the nomination OF a
candidate for Governor. Five names-Oli-
yer H. Dockery, Daniel L. Russell, James
E. Boyd, James W. Moody and V. s.
Lusk-wiIl be placed before the conven-
ton. Lusk is to be permanent chairman
of the convention.
The offices of Lieutenant Governor,
Treasurer and Secretary of State are to be
left open TO be filed by the Populists when
they hold their State convention, or if this
convention declines to fill them, the bolt
ing Populists, who are now aff1liat1ng with
Republicans, will do SO. There was a
meeting of these boilers with the Repub-
lican conference committee to-day and
they relinquished their demand that they
should be allowed to name the candidate
for Governor. Spier Whitaker was chair
man OF their committee and he withdrew
as soon as this backdown occurred. He
says the Popullsts in the eastern part of
the State, save those in Vance County,
follow him fully end indorse his course.
II is quite clear that the mass OF the Pop
ulists are backing Senator Buckler in the
declaration that there shall be no fusion
or cooperation with the Republicans un-
less the latter pledge themselves to vote
for only free silver men.
There was no regular session of the con-
vention tonight. Two hours were devoted
to speech-making, and anv mention of Nc
Kinley was loudly applauded.

Grosrenor Is Confident.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Representa-
tive Grosvenor, McKinley's campaign
manager in Washington, says that Nc
Kinley will be nominated on the first bal
lot by majority of at least 200, despite
all that Platt of New York can do. Platt
is actuated by spite, says Grosvenor, and
by holding the New York delegation to its
pledge for Morton is practically disfran-
chising the delegates, as Morton has no
chance of nomination.
