Pennsylvania CANDIDATE
Continued from First Page. J

Pennsylvania was reached in the roll cali.
withdraw from the contest and throw his
Pennsylvania vote to the Ohio candidate.
The friends of other candidates are still
quite determined to continue their candi-
dates in the race to the finish Mr. Platt
as tho representative of Governor Morton
is especially persistent in urging this
course. His reason for this is his desire Go
secure roll call for the purpose of put
ting the New York delegation on record
He is, however, decided to abide by the
decision of the national committee in dis
posing Of the New York contests and not
to make any factious opposition
The talk of a bolt from the convention
unless the Platt men were seated, and the
almost implied threats of Mr. Sutherland
in committee that bolt would follow the
seating Of Bliss and Cruger, worked the
committee up to the highest pitch of ex-
element. Not in any other contest was
there such bitter feeling raised in the COM
mittee, and although the language which
might be in the least distasteful TO any
member of the committee was withdrawn,
II did not lessen the determined feeling of
opposing sides to seat their respective men.
Senator Dubois of Idaho and Represent
ative Hartman of Montana Joined Senator
Teller of Colorado here last night. There
Is no longer any doubt of the purpose of
the silver men to bolt the action of the
convention unless they can have their way
about the financial plank The program
they have arranged will probably furnish
the most sensational incident of the con-
vention. They intend, as a preliminary,
to marshal all the strength they can in the
committee on resolutions for silver. They
know they will fail but instead of their
attempting to secure a compromise it will
be their plan to so throw their strength in
the committee as to force, if possible, the
adoption of a straightout gold plank. As
one of them said today: "If the Republi-
can convention cannot be right we will
force it to be honest. Better gold dcclar-
alton for all concerned than an equivocal
plank that wears gold.n The fight will be
carried to the floor of the convention under
the leadership Of Senator Teller, who, his
friends, say, will make a speech that will
be the effort of his life. 1t will be his val
edictory to the Republican party. The
silver men expect to carry at least five
states out of the convention with them
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Mon
tana-and they are very hopeful that the
Democratic convention at Chicago will
nominate the man who leads the bolt here.
Yesterday the Reed boom was given the
first impetus that it has had during the
ante-convention days. The arrival of the
Maine and Massachusetts delegations,
with glittering badges and waving ban
ners, gave the first real appearance Of
Reeds candidacy that has been seen. SEN
atOr Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, who is to
place Reed in nomination, has become the
recognized leader of the Reed forces, and
since his arrival has been trying to gather
the scattered Reed forces and retrieve the
losses that have occurred in the past fcw
days, Chairman Littlcileld, of the Maine
delegation, who will probably second
Reeds nomination. has had the Reed head
quarters formally opened, and last night
the delegation had a meeting in which
steps We're taken towards pressing the
candidacy of Reed with all possible spirit.
The Reed men are jubilant over the re-
suits of q colorod mass meeting at which
