PENSION LIST A UPAs TREE.
No Doubt Mckinley VIII Apply the
Knife Just to Please England.

london June 1.-THE Globe COM
menting on the political situation in
the United States says; we have no
reason to suppose that Mckinley is a
less ardent protectionist than formerly
and his election to the presidency
would undoubtedly be a serious mis-
fortune to British commerce.
He has a plausible reason for REIN
posing the tariff which President Cleve-
land toned down. The revenue of the
United States no longer equals the ex-
penditures and recurring deficits are as
used to be. Nor is there room for re-
trenchment. except in the mOnstrously
inflated and scandalOus pension list
and it is not the least likely Mckinley
viii apply the knife to that upas tree
Pensions are the most convenient re-
ward for election service. Even Cleve-
land shirked overhauHng the list with
the view Of placing it upon a less cor
rupt footing.

From Our Special Correspondent.
st. Louis June 1.-THE Kansas dele
cation this morning talked over the
financial plank framed by the commit
tee on platform and instructed their
member on resolutions. Prof, Swensson,
to use his best efforts to have the word
gold stricken out He is to allow the
words existing standard to remain in
but to cut out the word gold. This is
to fool the people. How it is expected
to deceive anyone by such a perform
ance when every movement of the
scheme is open is a mystery. But
Swensson from the first has said the
platform should mean gold but not to
say it and so he viii only be carrying
out this very sly % plan which fools
no one.
John schilling, of the First district,
viii be perfectly satisfied if the conven-
ton declares for the single gold stand
ard. He isn't trying to dodge like
Swensson and some of the others
There is no use trying to keep the
money question in the background any
longer and no use trying to straddle-
We might just as wen accept the situa-
ton and come out squarely for gold,
says Schilling.
AT a meeting of the Kansas deIega-
ton this morning before the convention
met it was decided to support Hobart
for vice president
There were expressions yesterday by
individual members of the delegation
i'm favor of Morton who is likely to be
the nominee, but Cy Leland is for Ho-
bart and as it seems to be part of the
Mckinley plan to name Hobart the
delegation after talking the matter over
decided to give the support of Kansas
to Hobart. Cy Leland has been for
Hobart all the time and he has the
delegation pretty well moulded to his
wishes.

CREELMAN IS MAD
Because He was Expelled From Cuba
He Wants War Declared

St Louis, June 17.-At the request of
Senator Foraker. James Greelman, the
newspaper correspondent, prepared the
following suggestions for use in con-
structing a Cuban plank in the plat
form:
tThe government of Spain having
lost control of Cuba, and being unable
to protect property or lives of resident
American citizens or to comply with
it's treaty obligations. We demand that
the armed force OF the United States
shall be promptly interposed to restore
peace in the island. We hold it to be
necessary to. our national peace and
prosperity that the people of Cuba
shall achieve political independence
and we pledge to them our sympathy
in their noble struggle against the cor
rupt and barbarOus Spanish monarch.

or circumlocutiOn which viii give any
ground for fear that something else
than gold may have a chance to be
adopted, then disaster is certain.
Philadelphia, June 1.-THE Enquirer
(2epublican) says: Gold wins at St.
Louis because the sober Judgment OF
the delegates told them that it is the
money OF moneys Were this not 50,
who can doubt that the other civilized
nations Of the world would change their
standard whenever it proved profitable
or eXpedient to do so. There may be
question as to which economic policy
is better but on the question of what
should be the money of the realm there
is practically no dissensiOn. They are
practically solid for gold. Delegates
are to be congratulated for their Ge-
cisiOn. The country is to be feliCi-
tated upon the result. For four years
at least we snail have an honest cur
rency. The present outlook is that free
silver has received its death blow.
Louisville, June 1.-THE Courier
Journal says: The financial resolution
reported by the subcommittee of the
platform committee of the St. Louis
convention is a satisfactory resolution
so far as the question of the gold
standard and free silver is concerned.
despite its tWaddle about the financial
record of the Republican party and its
demagogy about International agree
ment II the convention should adopt
this resolution, and show its sincerity
by shelving Mckinley and nominating
man whose convictions this resolution
is known to represent. and if the Dem
Ocratic party should put out a free sill
yer ticket. as it seems bent upon doing,
the Republicans would win a ire
mendOus victory.
Philadelphia June 1.-THE Press
CRepublican) SAYS: The national Re
publican convention plants itself on the
existing gold standard as a foundation
principle of sound currency. The man
ner in which this utterance is reached
is not less encouraging than the utter
ance itself With choice the Repu5ii-
can national convention has adopted a
more stringent declaration because it
means both principle and victory. The
complete defeat of silver in the Repub-
lcan party leaves the Democratic par
ty the only hope of a motley array Of
voters who desire and demand deprPci-
ated currency. 1t is fight to the
finish on a clean issue.

Early scenes IN the CONVENTION C4Iy
This Morning.
St Louis. June ia chilly drizzling
rain began about 8 o'clock this morn
ing and the second day of the great
Republican convention promises to be
very disagreeable. Flags and bunting
are hanging limp and the spirits of
the delegates seem to be correspond
~ depressed There is but little
interest felt now by the great mass Of
the delegates that AcKinley's nomi-
nation is certain and the platform is
settled except perhaps as to a few tech
meal points of phaseology in which
comparatively few are much interested.
There has been no inspiring oratory
and the street parades have palled upon
the taste.
The contest over the vice presidency
will probably put life into the cOnven-
ton just as soon as the nomination for
president has been made. The fight
lies between Garret A. Hobart Of New
Jersey and Morton of New York. In
spite of the protest of the minority of
the New York delegation headed by
Warner Miller it looks like Morton but
it remains to be seen whether Miller
Bliss and Conger can force the con-
vention to go elsewhere than New York
for its vice presidential candidate The
drift seems to be toward Morton. in
spite of the protests of the anti-Platt
faction in New York and of Mark Ham
ma However the situation may change
very rapidly in either direction just
as soon as the convention effects it's
permanent organization and settles
down to bushes.
The weather, if it continues disagree
able, will likely shorten the convention
as the delegates are already getting
tired and anxious to set away. Two
days ago it seemed certain that the
convention would not adjourn before
Friday night but now in spite OF the
practical impossibility of getting
through with so much business there
is talk Of an adjournment tonight. 1t
is probable the end viii be reached to-
morrow This may interfere with the
plans. for huge demonstration in hon
or of Mckinley that has been projected
The brass bands last night and the
heat indoors, kept most Of the dele
gates on the streets until a late hour
and they were late getting out this
morning The southern delegates es-
pecialIy are anxious to get away They
saw that the profound harmony and
quiet character Of the convention does
not afford as much entertainment as
district and state conventions at home
and there promises to be but little op-
Dortunfty for the usual display of ora
tory for which the orators on the floor
are always prepared. 1t is expected,
however. the platform and the nomi-
Mating speeches will infuse some new
life into the proceedings today.

BY pledging a perpetuation of the
gold standard the Republican national

McKinleyism remains in the canvass
