when epidemic, is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Hereto

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 15.-EX-Sena-
tor Warner Miller, one of the dele
gates-at-large from New York, ar
rived to-day. When asked what he
had to say regarding the New York
bolt talk that had been indulged in
since the arrival of Mr.. Platt, he said:
"There is not Republican in the New
York delegation that will bolt or walk
out of the Repu blican natlona conven-
ton. And further, there is no man in
the delegation who can take ten of
the New York men out of the conven-
tion under any preteXt whatever.
= To-day Mr.. Platt expressed the
opinion that the national committee
would place the Morton delegates in
contest on the temporary roll. He
also referred to the fact that in one
district the contest against his men
had been withdrawn. He said there
was no reason for making a contest in
the other five districts.
Chauncey NJ. Depew said that there
was no talk of boiling in the New
York delegation.

debate.
Next Will probably come the report
of the committee on resolutions.
This committee will have clear sailing
until the currency question is reached.
On that interest will be intense and
oratorical efforts pronounced. A
mem Der of the national com mittee,
discussing the probable length of the
convention, said: considering the
whole situation, it is difficult to see
how the report of the committee on
credentials and the committee on res
olutions can be disposed of before
midnight on Friday by the convention;
therefore. according to the natural
order of things, the presentation Of
candidates will not occur until Satur-
day morning. Owing to the interest
taken in the money question,
the convention will scarcely de-
fer action on the platform until
after the nomination of the candidate

present will make the best speech of
which he is capable, and the proceed
ings of this session and of that which
will follow in the evening will prob
ably be interspersed with oratory.
Wednesday morning the report of
the committee on permanent organiza-
tion and order of business will prob
ably be presented and acted upon and
the permanent officers will take charge
of the convention. The permanent
chairman will proba bly, be United
States Senator John NJ. Thurston of
Nebraska, far famed orator. Pend
ing the receipt of the report of the
committee on credentials the sessions
will be devoted to general conven-
tion business, interspersed with
oratorical efforts by famous ora
tors of the Republican party in

is probable that resolutions will be
received and referred to the commit
