FAIRBANKS FOR CHAIRMAN
He VIII Preside When the Conven-
ton Is Opened.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 13.-The selection
of temporary officers of the. convention
was special order for P. NJ, but it was
considerably after that time before the
National Committee convened. 1t set to
work Immediately.
On nomination of Mr.. de Young of San
Francisco, seconded by Mr. Kerens of
Missouri, C. W. Fairbanks of Indiana was
unanimously selected as temporary chair
man of the National Republican Conven-
ton. The committee laid on the table a
request of ex-Secretary Richard Thomp-
son of Indiana asking a postponement OF
action on the temporary Craftsmanship
until his arrival.
Colonel CIV. Johnson of Minnesota, who
was secretary of the convention of 1892 at
Minneapolis, was unanimously chosen
secretary of this convention.
w. G.. Riley of Kansas City was made
first assistant; H. H. Smith, Washington,
second assistant, and A. B. Humphrey of
New York third assistant secretary.
For chaplain Rabbi Samuel Sale of st.
Louis was nominated by Mr.. Scott of Vir-
ginia and unanimously selected.
The following were selected as tenn
porary reading clerks: J. H. Stone, Wash
ington; F. H. Wilson, Missouri; John R.
Malloy, Columbus, Ohio; R. s. Hatcher,
Indiana; ]. R. Benson, New York.

mand for honest money. We believe that
our money should not be inferior to the
money of the most enlightened nations of
the earth. We are unalterably opposed to
every scheme that threatens to debase or
depreciate our currency. We favor the
use of silver as currency, but to the extent
only and under such regulations that its
parity with gold can be maintained, and
in consequence are opposed to the free, I'M
limited and Independent coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The last seven words may be stricken
out, for if left in the plank the inference
might be drawn that while the resolution
declared against 16 to another ratio might
be acceptable, when in fact the plank will
not seek to recognize, even by inference,
free silver coinage at any ratio.
The silver men have been anxiously
awaiting the arrival of Senator Teller be-
fore holding their caucus. Senator Teller
arrived tonight. but was tired out. and
the caucus was postponed until tomorrow
Senator Teller did not register, but for his
own comfort secluded himself in some
private residence and very few know his
whereabouts. One of the leading radical
spondent tonight that it was perfectly
true that if the silver men perceived the
danger of a ''straddle" Oil the money
question they would join hands with the
straight out gold men.
But how could the silver men justify
their course? How could they explain
their conduct to their constituents THE
CALL correspondent asked.
The free silverite replied: eve know
we cannot secure free-coinage declara-
ton, and we intend that the people shall
understand what sort of financial plank
they are voting for. There must be no
evasion = no makeshift. Therefore we
would gladly join hands with the gold
bugs and let a gold-bug platform be
adopted. Then we would defeat it over
whelmingy at the polls in November"
The Vice-P Presidential result is in as
much doubt as the financial plank of the
platform. Governor Mortons telegram to
Depew to-day. positively stating that he
will not accept the Vice-Presidential
nomination, ought to leave Mr.. Nor
ton out of all calculations, but
still there are those who believe that the
anxiety of the Mckinley men to have
Morton on the ticket will yet induce them
to give Mr.. Platt the recognition he seek S
in New York State. But if Morton per-
sists in his refusal the ticket will be
mckinley and Hobart" mckinley and
Evans" or Mckinley and Dingley."
Mr.. Evans of Tennessee is a victim of
Instantaneous geographical location.
While he is very popular, it is conceded
that the preponderance of sentiment ia
vors an Eastern man. mckinley and
Hobart" is yet the ticket that finds most
favor. Dingley of Maine is the latest sug
gestion for Vice-President. mckinley
and Dingley" would indeed make fine
team as well as a fine euphonious jingle
for the campaign rhymesters.

A FORAKER PLATFORM.
He Will Probably Be the Chairman
of That Committee.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 13.-Ex- Governor
Foraker of Ohio will be the choice of the
Mckinley men for the craftsmanship of
the committee on resolutions. The pur-
pose of this is to enable him to appoint
the subcommittee which will draft the
platform, and which, in turn, 1t is under
stood, will request him to act as its chair
man ex-oficio.
Some of the New England men desire
that the craftsmanship shall be given to
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, but the
Mckinley people say that no necessity ex-
lists for making this selection.
No doubt exists that the platform will
declare Enthusiastically for sound money.
The only uncertainty is as to the phrase
ology. It is believed, however, that it
will oppose any suggestion of free coinage
in any ratio, and demand the main
tenance Of the present standard.
1t is also asserted the platform will con-
tain reference to Cuba it will recite the
sympathy Of the Republican party for the
Cuban patriots, and condemn President
Cleveland for having failed to recognize
their belligerency.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-14

moment. They claim that the financial
question is paramount, and must and shall
be made the issue. In their opinion, the
tariff is of secondary importance, and
much as the Mckinley managers hope to
have that pushed to the front, they will be
doomed to disappointment, SO far as the
silver men are concerned.
1t is now recalled as very significant that
during the debate on the Presidents veto
of the general deficiency appropriation
bill in Congress, General Grosvenor and
other Mckinley leaders of the House at
tackled the veto power vigorously. They
claimed that it was a most dangerous
power to lodge with the President, and
that it could be used to defeat the wishes
of the people. The friends of Major Nc
Kinley were particularly bitter in their de-
nunciation of this constitutional right
and it is not unreasonable TO suppose that
the speeches were not made simply be-
cause the Chief Executive had exercised
his prerogative and returned the bill with
out his approval, but to get in line for the
clause they now promise to have inserted
in the platform and thus keep the silver
men from joining forces with the gold
platform advocates. @. G. CARLTON.

r. B. Hawley (Reed) and NJ. NJ. Rogers
(Alllson), both white. By unanimous con-
sent Governor Warmoth of Louisiana was
permitted to appear before the committee.
He made a plea in favor OF the Hawley
delegation. Hawley and Rogers were
seated by 81 TO 10.
When the delayed Ninth district was
taken up, Committeeman Quincy of Texas,
in behalf of the contestants, w. B. Brush
(Allison) and A. L. Maynard (colored, Nc
Kiniey), refused to submit their case and
announced that he would take it to the
National Convention. Thereupon the
committee placed the regular delegates,

preferences.) Abner and Rentfro obtained
the seats.
The contest from the Twelfth District OF
Texas was the next case called. The dele
gates were F. @. Balaine and Robert
Hondsche (McKinley); the contestants, c.
w. Ogden and Joseph Tweedy (Allison).
The two latter were placed on the roll.
The next case was that from the Thirteenth
District of Texas. Without discussion the
two regular delegates, Patrick Dooling and
o. T. Bacon (McKinley) were put on the
temporary roll. In the Alaska case the
names of both delegates and contestants
were placed on the temporary roll, with a
half vote each. The two delegates are for
Mckinley and the two contestants for
Quay.
The vote on the Eleventh District OF
Texas was reconsidered and the names OF
the two delegates, James o. Luby and
George R. Townsend (colored) preferences
for Mckinley, were placed on the tenn
porary roll.
The case of the Third District of Penn
sylvania was taken up and both delegates
and contestants were placed on the tenn
porary roll, with half votes. The dele
gates are j. H. Klemmer mckinley and
J. B. Anderson Quay, and the contest
ants Henry Clay and Elwooa Becker (both
Quay. The vote was 20 to 10 and there
was no discussion.

The next case was that of the Second
District OF Virginia. The delegates were

tin and Harry Libbey (Reed) John S.
Wise, ~ex-Congressman, appeared for the
contestants, ana got into an angry alterca-
ton with Mr.. Bowden, whom he de-
nounced vehemently and passlonately as a
political fraud. The names of the regulars
and of the contestants were placed on
the temporary roll t32 to 15) with half
votes. The New York cases were then
taken up.
The Sixth District was first called and
Mr.. Sutherland, first stating that accord
ing to the newspapers the contestants had
Withdrawn, moved that the regular dele
gates, Henry c. Saffen and G. w. Palmer
Morton mem, be placed upon the roll,
The motion prevailed.
In the Seventh District case it was stated
that the papers which had been sent to
the secretary could not now be found and
that the contestants, Martin H. Healy
and Abram S. Cole, would not arrive until
Sunday. Mr.. Sutherland asked unani-
nous consent for a postponement until
Monday morning, but it was refused. He

be placed upon the roll and it was so or
dered by a unanimous vote. In the Ninth
District another postponement was asked
| and refused and Charles H. Murray and J,
J. Collins, the regular Morton delegates,
were placed on the roll.
| The failure of the contestants in the pre-
vlous cases to appear was a surprise all
around; but the decks were cleared when
! the contest of Howard Carroll and Thur
low Weed Barnes against National Com
mitteeman Cornelius n. Bliss and S. V. R.
| Kruger was reached, and the time was ex-
tended for each side. Hon. John 5. Wise
appeared for Mr.. Bliss, and at IL 20 en-
| tered upon detailed history of the trouble
of the Twelfth District.
The thread of his argument was broken
| by repeated queries from Senator Thurston
| and others, and the narrative was not con-
cluued when time was called. Congress-
man Quigg led the argument for Con-
testants Carroll and Barnes. When Mr..
| Quigg stated that no other name than that
of Mr.. Kruger was submitted, William
Henkel, who was in the rear of the hall,
shouted denial.
| Mr.. Quigg repeated the statement and
Mr.. Henkei retorted that he had named
candidate. Considerable confusion en-
sued and Chairman Carter warned stran-

money enough from the revenues to run
the Government without being obliged to
borrow, and the second was to have a
plain declaration with respect to finance.
On the Presidential contest he said, with
an air of conviction, that SO far as the
candidate for the Presidency was con-
cerned, that matter had been boiled down
to the unmixed fact that Mckinley would
be the nominee.
"Tom Platt and Others" he added, "are
trying TO make trouble, but the most of
the delegates to this convention are smil-
ing at them. Sometimes the smile is con-
cealed; sometimes it is broadly on their
faces; sometimes they punctuate the
smiles with little bit of expectoration OF
their favorite brand of tobacco. The
question as to the identity of the man who
is to be the nominee of the party for the
Presidency is beyond all doubt or posi-
bility of doubt or failure. Mckinley is the
man."
Speaking of the prospective platform
General Wallace said that the first decla-
ration should be in favor of a gold stand
ard. He emphasized this: put it broadly
so that no man can be deceived--in favor
rency IN the United States. The next
declaration should be that the Republican
party recognizes that the only legiti-
mate manner in which the Government
can protect the mining industry of this
country which is entitled to respect is by
bringing about an International agreement
for the use OF gold and silver, fixing the
ratio by international agreement. Even
Democrats are insisting that their tariff
bill is a dead failure and that the Govern
ment is perishing because of it. The Re-
publican position is to protect the home
producer. Wool, which is one of the
great industries of the Pacific Coast,
should be protected"
This terminated the interview and I slid
down the elevator to the regions of hustle
and politics.
1t is understood that the author of ben
Hur' will be appointed to high position
in the diplomatic service in the event of
Mr.. McKinley's election.

WHAT CLARKSON THINKS.
Wants Fair Play for the Party and
the Country.

the Country.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 13-Ex-Senato
Platt tonight received the following from
]. S. Clarkson:
Spring LAKE, n. J., June Is, 1895.
Hon. Z. C. Plat: l had hoped until to-
day to be able to respond to my almost ir-
resistible desire to DE with you in the fight
you are so Loyalty and undauntedly max
ing for fair play in the party and fair play
for the country, but my trouble OBJ
stinately continues and my physician says
it would be foolhardy for me to attempt
the journey. so l must abandon the hope.
l can only express my keen regret for my
enforced absence and send you my thanks
and my congratulations for the stanoh
AND inspiriting leadership you are so OPP
portunely showing DIT this time, when the
party so greatly needs it's largest wisdom
in choosing its ticket.
For its own sake the party should
choose at st. Louis the safest and strong.
est candidate to be found for its leader,
regardless of any mans ambition or any
factions programme. For it's own and
the oountry's sake too it should make its
declaration as plain and explicit for the
safest standard for money known to the
world and for protection to American in
dustries and answering loyalty to Ameri-
can ideas. am with you in these ideas,
and so l believe are an actual majority OF
the thinking and Unconditional members
of the Republican party. A candidate for
President weak in any vital point or
principle, or platform weak or evasive
on either of the two vital and supreme
current issues. would needlessly lmperil
party success in this otherwise apparently
invincible Republican year. You and all
with you stand for the safest possible
ticket and the soundest possible platform,
and you are right in your position. You
deserve to win and hope you may.
JAMES s. CLARKsoN."
