THREE HOURS STRUGGLE.
Illinois Delegation Has a Very In
teresting Time,

ST. LOUIS, June 15-For three hours
this afternoon the Illinois delegation
struggled in discussion over a money
resolution. 1t contained the words
gold standard" and it was this which
caused the contention. The members
from southern Illinois wanted no men
ton made of gold. They said they
thought it saNored of Wall street The
resolution as adopted reads:
Resolved. That the representatives
of the Illinois delegation on the COM
mdttee on resolutions shall be required
TO advocate a resolution which shall
explicitly declare in favor of the eX-
listing gold standard, and in favor of
the use of silver to the extent only that
its parity with gold can be maintained.
We favor a declaration for the further
coinage of silver whenever an agree
ment for its use by the leading COM
mercial nations of the world can be
arrived at. but we are unalterably OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver I'M
der the present conditions.
A motion was made to strike out the
word gold" preceding the word
standard" William Penn Nixon, ed
itor of the Inter-Ocean, said the Re
publican party did not want a word
about gold in its platform. 1t would
be disastrous.
r. w. Patterson of the Chicago Tri-
bune. said THAI if the word gold should
be left, out it would be conspicuous by
its absence. The party would be ac-
cused Of cowardice. It should come
out in a square, manly fashion.
IF we shrink he concluded, I'VE
are lost; we are for gold and let us
saw so.''
Nearly every member of the delega-
ton spoke, but on a roll-call vote the
motion was lost-40 to s.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved, That protection and reci-
procity should be made the paramount
issue of the campaign and should be
given firsS prominence in the platform
as the great and fundamental principle
of the Republican party"
There was some opposition to the Sc
lection of DR.. y. T. Jameson for ma
tional committeeman He led the fight
in the Illinois state convention against
instructing the delegates for Mex hley.
The Mckinley leaders in the state op-
posed him, but he was elected.
General Richard j. Oglesby, three
times governor and twice United
States senator from Illinois, was
chosen chairman r. W. Patterson
was selected for member of the reso-
buttons and platform committee.

PULLING FOR GOLD.
Foster Urges the Necessity of
Golden Plank.


ST. LOUIS, June 15.-Ex- Governor
Charles Foster of Ohio, who was secre-
tary of the treasury under the Harri-
son administration, was taking an ac-
tive part today in urging Ohio dele
gates, including Mr.. Hanna, to make
the financial plank specifically a gold
standard declaration. He said:
That the word gold has obtained
an Importance and significance not
heretofore attached to it is evident.
The discussion as to the platform in
the money question has turned wholly
upon the point as to whether the word
gold is to be used or omitted-whefher
the phrase shall be the existing stan
dard. or the existing gold standard
In view of the supreme Importance
of adopting a. platform about which
no controversy whatever, either ex-
pressed or implied can be had, it be-
comes highly important that the word
gold be used
THE opposition to the free coinage
OF silver or any form of the debaSe-
menf of our currency need not be Of
feneively expressed. For the use of
silver, so long as the parity OF the two
metals is endangered, and to use all
honorable means to secure such an in
teIHdtIoHdl agreement as Will safely
permit the free coinage of silver as
basis to be agreed upon, there can be
no objection
He insisted THAT if Senator-elect For
aker, as chairman of the committee on
resolutions, reported a financial plank
without the words gold standard"
Mr.. Lodge and others would move to
insert these words in the resolution on
the floor of the convention, and that
the parry would thus be put on record
as defeating ran amendment which
could not be interpreted as against
gold standards = a,

MI Lauterback said this morning, when

we are IN this position: Mr.. Hanna is

II we continue to gain recruits he may
concede TO US the honor of drafting the
plank. If he does not believe
we are strong enough to beat

out definite mention of gold. He has
neither denied nor affirmed our PROPOSE

not Settied by tomorrow we will bring it

not want to be thought disparaging in
my views of the Mckinley strength, but
do say that the precipitation of fight
over gold in the convention might turn
the tide toward some other candidate and
defeat Mckinley. OF course I appreciate
that his managers are shrewd enough to
seek cover"
Mr. Plat had representatives out in all
quarters this morning, who are managing
with v1gor the Reed campaign. One called
early in the day and announced that he
had been practically notified by the Hanna
people that he would not be allowed to
dictate terms on the platform. Mr.. Platt
smiled at the information and said well,
we may get together and change that at

ST. LOUIS, June ia monster Nc
Kinley mass meeting was held tonight in
the Music hall, which forms a part of
the exposition building, in which eight
years ago Grover Cleveland was noni-
mated The audience was made up large
ly of visiting delegates. although local
politicians were in evidence and a num-
ber of ladies graced the function:
Introduced by Mark Hanna, Governor
Bushnell of Ohio presided over the meet
ing. On taking the chair, the governor
said William Mckinley was the choice,
not only OF Ohio, but OF the nation, and
the audience rose and howled its acqui-
escence Like Virginia, he said, Ohio had
come to be the mother of presidents.
and she was ready with her man for the
present occasion
The governor was followed by ex-Con-
gresham VIM. E. Mason of Chicago. who
started out with the statement that to-
morrow the Republicans of the country
would meet to nominate a president OF
the United States. The audience sent up
a terrific shout for the man from Ohio.
why don't you speak about silver?'
inquired a voice.
'Silver," said Mr.. Mason in response,
sis a great issue between Democrats and
Democrats
Mr.. Mason's speech was almost
wholly laudatory of Mckinley.
Congressman Grosvenor, Of Ohio, said
an attempt was being made to blind the
issues of the campaign by the intro
duction of the silver question, but the
American people were not to be de-
ceived. What they wanted in the
money line was the American dollar.
The greenback dollar had no symp-
toms of debility about 1T, for it was
worth its face in gold. What was
wanted was the protection of American
industry represented by Governor Nc
Kinley, which put more of them into
the pockets of the American working
men. (Cheers.)
P. D. Woodmansee, of Ohio, ex-presi-
dent CT the Union League clubs, spoke
of Mckinley as 1.-The advance agent of
prosperity
Speaking of Missouri. Webster Davis,
of Kansas City. said Missouri and
Missouri Republicans were all right
and for that reason they were for Nc

A reference by Governor Bushnell to

afte.. month, thousands of times day,
with never a deyia ton or error in the
assembling or replacing of the ninety
charac ters that are at the command of
the operator. All the parts Of the ma
chinery are adjusted in their turn, to

fere with the other. While one line is
being distributed another is being cast
and third set. The lines of type once
cast are handled in exactly the same
manner as regular type, only they are
much more easily shifted about. These
lines of type can be either printed from
directly or can be stereotyped for use
on big newspaper perfecting presses.
Once used, the lines of type are re-
turned to the melting pot and are re-
melted, to be cast over again.
A comparison Of what can be done
on the linotype and what can be done
by hand will show the difference. One
man can set by hand from 1000 ems
of matter per hour to 1900. On ma
chine it is poor operator that cannot
set 1000 ems of matter per hour, and
records of nearly 5000 ems per hour
have been made on regular newspaper
work. A perfect proof from linotype
is very common. The linotype is guar
anteed to produce over 1900 ems per
hour and good operators constantly set
from 1900 to 5000 ems per hour.
Records of $500, 10000 and 1900 have
already been made. All the large dali
les in the country, over 800 small dali

job printing Offices now have the ma
chimes in use. Over 1900 have been
sold in the United States within the

upon this idea the present linotype has
been worked out. The development af-

added, and finally the distribution of
