Convention Badges.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE usual variety
and elegance of the badges and buttons
displayed here strike all late arrivals.
There are naturally more Mckinley
badges than those of any other candi-
date, but the other candidates are well
represented in the variety. The favorite
Mckinley insignia is a buckeye with a
portrait of Mckinley attached. Very
beautiful badges bearing in relief the por-
traits of Allison and Morton are worn by
the respective followers Of these candi--
dates. Reed aad Quny buttons and
badges are also seen in large numbers
upon the lapels of their friends, while the
street hawkers, handling the emblems of
all impartially are encountered at every
turn. The Massachusetts delegation
brought with it today a button of the
shape and color of a gold nugget, bearing
the words "Gold Basis"

Kentucky, who has been selected as
the first assistant secretary in the tenn
porary organization, said tonight a
nomination could not be reached be-
fore Thursday, and that the conven-

Senator Warren on Financial Plan.
ST. LOUIS, June 14-Senator War
rem of Wyoming, who arrived here to-
night from Washington. believes that
the best way 20 settle the dispute over
the money plank is to leave the whole
question open. Mr.. Warren is a free
silver man but was instrumental in
securing a declaration by the. conven-'
ton of his state against boiling. He
thinks it would be a wise policy rather.
than attempt to frame a financial
plank to be acceptable to the extrem-a
lists on both sides, which must, in the
nature of things, be unsatisfactory to-
both, to leave the whole question to the
public for solution. a
IF I could have my way" said he,
Il would make no equiyecal declara-
ton. Let the Republicans of the coun-
try frankly acknowledge that the diff
ference is one which they fully realize;
on tariff and other questions we are
united. On the money question our
differences seem irreconcilable. but
west. east, north and south we believe
in the truest discharge of our obliga-
TONS No Republican wants anything
but the soundest money and no one
desires Reputation at home or abroad.
Let us say that, for upon that we are
of one mind. But let us stop there
and allow the Republican party to, in
the future, work out the problem as
to the manner and extent of silver
coinage. There should be no proscrip-
ton on one side or the Other. If the
members of the party honestly differ

THE SILVER MEN WILL BOLT
They Realize That Their Cause is
Already Lost.
VIII Make a Strong Fight For Sill
yer, However, and When They
Are Turned Down, They Will At
tempt to Force the Convention to
n Gold DecIaration-There Must
Be No Dodging of Any Character.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Senatpr Du-
bois, of Idaho. and Representative
Hartman. of Montana, joined Senator
Teller here tonight.
There is no longer any doubt of the
purpose of these radical silver men to
bolt the action of the convention I'M
less they can have their way about
the financial plank. They realize that
they are in a hopeless minority, and
they have carefully laid their plans to
walk out of the convention. The pro-
gramme they have arranged will prob
ably furnish the most dramatic and
sensational incident of the convention.
They intend, as preliminary, to, mar
shall all the strength they can in the
committee on resolutions for silver.
They
KNOW THEY WILL FAIL,
but instead of their attempting to Sc
cure d compromise it will be their
plan 10 so throw their strength in the
committee as to force, if possible, the
adoption of a straight gold plank, be-
lieviIg that an emphatic gold declara-
ton will put them in a more adyan-
v
AS one of them said tonight:
IF the Republican convention can
not be right, we will force it to be
honest. Better a gold declaration for
alf concerned, than an equivocal plank
that wears gold
The fight will then be carried to the
floor of the convention under the lead
ership of Senator Teller. The Colorado
senator, as the head and spirit of the
silver strength in the Republican
party, will make a. speech which his
friends say will be the effort of his
life 1t will be his valedictory to the
Republican party. 1t will be followed
after the convention has voted down
the minority report, which he will offer,
by the formal announcement OF the
SEVERANCE OF THE TIES
which bind him and his associates to
the party. This will be done in the
form of a statement to- the convention
or of an address to the people, prob
ably the former. The climax will GER
tainly be dramatic.
1t is probable that Senator Teller
VIII go Immediately to Colorado and
other Republican silver men will re-
main here and issue an address TO the
sflveriteS of the country of all parties
calling upon them to support Senator
Teller, as the pre-eminenr representa-
tive o ftlhe issue, for president The
silver men expect to carry at least five
states out of the convention with them,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana and they are very ho2eful
that the Democratic convention at
Chicago will nominate the man who
leads the bolt here.

Some Funny Speeches.

An Irishman who was very i'll,
when the physician told him that he
must prescribe an ometio for him,
said, Indeed, doctor, an emetio will
never do me any good, for l have
taken several and could never keep
one of them upon my stomach. ?" An
Irishman at cards, who, inspecting
the pool, found it deficient, exclaim-
ed: Here is shilling short. Who
put it in?" A poor Irish servant
maid, who was left handed, placed
the knives and forks upon the din
ner table in the same awkward fash
ion. Her master remarked to her
that she had placed them all left
handed. "Ah, true, indeed, sir, " she
said, land so have. Would you be
pleased to help me to turn tho Ia
ble?" Doyle and Yelverton, the two
eminent mem bers of the Irish bar,
quarreled one day SO violently that
from hard words they came to hard
blows. Doyle. powerful man with
the fists, knocked down Yelverton
twice, exclaiming, You scoundrel,
