THE VICE PRESIDENCY,
Mr. Morton Not a Candidate for ii
Nomination for Second Place,

Mr.. Morton Not a Candidate for the
Nomination for Second Place.
ST. LOUIS. June 1s.-At 1870 Warner
Miller says that Mr.. Depew informs him
that Mr. Morton has been withdrawn from
the vice presidential race. Mr.. Depew
says: Il don't think Mr.. Morton will be
nominated, but have no official knowledge
on the subject"
Mr.. Platt said: "Mr Morton has not
been withdrawn. That is all / have to
say"
At ] pm. Mr.. Depew said to Hanna:
"Mr. Morton will be presented to the con-
vention for first place only. He will not
be put forward as vice presidential can
didate. The New York delegation so
agree" Mr.. Platt nodded assent to this.
AS the hands of the clock moved about
toward 1870 II evident from the ap-
pearance of the New York people that their
boom for Morton was broken. Mr.. Depew
began to argue with Mr.. Platt at - o'clock
that it was not advisable TO push Mr.. Nor
ton for the place, and finally, at 12:55. Mr.
Depew walked up the aisle and stood in
front of Mr.. Hanna and said:
"Mr. Hanna. l shall present Gov. Nor
toms name to the convention for President.
That is the only office for which his name
will be put before this convention
Mr.. Hanna bowed acquiesce2ce, shook
hands cordially with Mr. Depew and the
brief interview was over.
In the meantime Mr.. Miller the leader of
the opposition to Platt had been circulating
about among the newspaper representa-
tives. announcing the withdrawal of Mr..
Mortons name for second place.
Senators Quay and Lodge both heard the
rumor and went to the back of the hall to
see Mr.. Platt.
At first Mr.. Platt hesitated to express
himself, bit when pressed said: New York
will content itself with presenting to the
convention the name of Governor Morton
for the presidency only
The camp of the New Workers looked
rather blue when this announcement went
forth.
Mr.. Depew said: Il have always believed,
and l still believe, that IL would have been
a serious mistake to press Governor Nor
ton for the vice presidency. / am positive
that he did not want 1t, and / believe he
would not have accepted it,
At 10 ii seemed certain that Hobart of
New Jersey would get second place.
There was vice presidential furry in
the Illinois delegation today which came
near to resulting in a decision TO present
the name of Senator Cullom 10 the conven-
ton for second place on the ticket. The
proposition was soon abandoned, however.

Special from a Staff Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, June 1S.-The early adjourn
ment yesterday and the abandonment of the
contemplated night session of the conven-
tion without awaiting for the report Of the
platform committee, was due to the desire on
the part of the managers for an oppor-
tunity to plead with the silver leaders,
and. failing to accomplish anything with
them. to weaken their action as much as
possible by drawing off some of their fol-
lowers and making arguments to have
the place.; of the boilers taken in the con-
venton by alternates. The entire night
was spent in this effort to break the force
of the bolt and in making up the plans for
today. Every possible argument was used
with the silver men, and all sorts of pres
sure was brought to bear on them.
Up to this time the party managers have
not adopted a policy of making light of the
bolt or of belittling the men who partici-
pate in it. They have treated the matter
seriously. as have the silver men them
selves. and have assumed tone of solemn
regret. denying that the bolt would en-
danger the success of the party, but ex-
pressing sorrow that men held in such
high esteem as are the leaders in the bolt
should feel compelled to leave their party
The Mckinley en- who have been fight
ing against the gold standard show more
anxiety than do the party managers vino
are actually in control of the destinies of
this convention. They insist that a dam
gerous situation VIC uld have been avoided
IL more moderate course had been adopt
ed. They say that it would have been diff
ficult for Teller and Dubois to get any fol-
lowing in bolt if a moderate plank had
been adopted. and add that it is at a per-
sonal sacrifice that some of the bimetallists
who will not bolt have decided to supnort
the gold platform.
