The silver Mems Protest.

This account is given of the plea of the
silver men at the conference on the finan-
cial plank at st. Louis.
Mr.. Teller spoke of his long connection
with the Republican party. 1t was the
party of his young manhood, the party of
his choice. 1t was the party with which
he had affiliated for 81 years. 1t was
party that had given him great honors, and
he had served it loyalty. "But," he ex-
claimed in a voice of deep earnestness,
''the time has come when | shall be
obliged to leave it If it declares for the single
gold Standard Mr.. Teller explained in
conclusion that he had not originally in
tended to speak at such length. 1t was
he said, purely matter of conscience and
principle. There was no question of per-
sonal ambition involved. He might be
wrong; he believed not. Time alone could
tell whether he or the trainers of this plank
were right.
Senator Lodge explained that no choice
was left to the committee but to adopt the
plank in question. He expressed his high
appreciation of Mr.. Teller, and stated his
belief that he was acting from conscien-
tious motives, but that the Republicans
had come TO the parting of the ways and
in separating for Mr.. Teller and his asso-
ciates he wished to assure them that they
carried with them the full respect of the
committee.
Mr. Cannon of Utah, like Mr.. Teller,
created a profound sensation by the ear
nestness of his remarks. His voice was
choked with emotion several times, and he
proceeded with great difficulty. He pointed
out that Utah had been converted from a
Democratic territory into a Republican
state, but that it would be irretrievably
lost ii the party were committed to the
gold standard. He bitterly deplored the
necessity which compelled him to leave the
party Of his choice, but existing circum-
stances left him no alternative.
Mr.. Dubois of Idaho also announced
that he would follow his associates, Messrs.
Teller and Cannon, in leaving the party,
although he regretted that necessity COM
PEELED him TO take this step.
When the vote was taken on the Teller
substitute 1t was defeated Al to 10.

Some of the pre-convention figures read
queerly in the light of the actual result.
The Rutland Herald steadily claimed big
lead for Stickney, its tabulated returns on
the day before the convention showing 355
delegates for Stickney to 3l2 for Grout,
with three small towns to hear from. The
Montpelier Watchman's claim was 355 for
Stickney to 317 for Grout. The Free
Press was persistent in claiming a winning
lead for Grout, but the final event showed
its figures to have been made on a much
better basis of fact. Its table printed on
Tuesday showed 342 for Grout and 323 for
Stickney, with eight doubtful, and at the
very last despatch from that Office said
the contest was very close, with the result
depending on having every Grout dele
gate at the convention.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-06-19

Very little is called for in the way of
comment upon the result of the Second
District convention. Claims were freely
made by Gen. Grout's opponents of a
ticket of $50 to $50 votes to be cast against
him, but when the hour of the convention
arrived and nominations were called for
not voice was raised in opposition. 1t is
evident that, without in any way conced-
ing to him perpetual hold upon the office,
the people of the district as a whole are
well satisfied with the service which Gen.
Grout has given them for almost fourteen
years past

The convention opened at noon on Tues
day, elected Charles w. Fairbanks of In
diana temporary chairman; appointed
committees on credentials, resolutions, and
permanent organization, and then adjourn
ed until Wednesday morning. Only one
set speech was made, that of the tempo
rary chairman, who reviewed the disas-
trous course of events under Democratic
administration, and said the Republican
party must adhere to the policy of sound
money and protection.

The New Workers Love One Another

A stormy meeting of the New York del
egation was held Monday, when Warner
Miller denounced Platt for having DETAINED
Mckinley and delared him unfit to be pres
ident. Thurlow Weed Barnes replied for
Platt, inquiring sarcastically who was en-
titled to the greater honor, the man who
came out squarely and made his fight, or
Miller, who sneaked into the delegation
with his knife in his sleeve Mr.. Depew
poured oil on the angry waters, and the
meeting resulted in Platt's election as per-
manent chairman of the delegation.

Grout the wiser choice at this time and
gave their best efforts to secure his NOM

confidence justified we feel no doubt.

The Candidate for Vice President.

Garret Hobart, the Republican nomi-
nee for vice president, is a resident of Pat
erson, n. j., and is 80 years old He is a
lawyer by profession, but is eminently and
distinctively a man of affairs and of dis
tinguished business ability. He has been
member of both houses of the New Jersey
legislature, a member of the state Repub-
lican committee and of the national Re-
publican committee; and is a director in
so or 90 corporations and legal adviser for
many of them. Mr.. Hobart was the choice
of Mr.. Hanna and the other Mckinley
managers for the vice presidency.

A Hot Hight Wei Ended.

The canvass for the gubernatorial nom-
ination which closed on Wednesday was
the most closely fought contest of the
kind which has ever been witnessed in
Vermont politics. The Page Woodbury.
contest Of 1890 most nearly resembled it,
but at that time the result was clearly
foreshadowed the night before the conven-
tion, and when the final test came Page
had a margin of 43 votes, while Grout had
only three. In 1872 Converse had bare
there had been no such pre-convention
contest, and the result was brought about
by the supporters of Gov. Stewart for re-
nomination suddenly throwing their solid
strength to Converse.
The way in which each candidate held
every supporter which he had won, in
Wednesdays convention, is noteworthy.
Close observers doubted whether any
changes were made after the delegates
reached Burlington. The Stickney men
were the more confident and aggressive,
and on the surface it looked like "Stick-
ney convention" but the Grout men made
up in quiet determination what they lack
ed in outward demonstration, and their
votes told the story. But the tension on
either side was never relaxed for a mo-
ment until the result of the ballot was de-
clared.
For Mr.. Stickney and his supporters it
is to be said that they made good fight,
that they acknowledge themselves fairly
beaten, and that they promptly announce
themselves ready to give hearty support to
the winning candidate. On the part of the
Grout men we believe it to be true that no
personal feeling against Mr.. Stickney en-

To our notes of last week on county
politics it is now to be added that the
friends of j. II. Merrifield of Newfane will
present him as candidate for the senate
and strongly urge his nomination. No
man in the county presents a better equip

his strong personal qualities and through
his familiarity with legislative work as
member of the house and as assistant
clerk and clerk of that body. In the up

How the Declaration for the Geld Stand-
ard was Secured.

To Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is
given the credit of leadership in the fight
which resulted in the Incorporation of an
unqualified gold-standard plank into the
Republican platform. Mr.. Lodge was
backed in his work by the New England
delegates, by New York, by Oregon, and
finally by the negro delegates, and the pres
sure grew so great that Mr.. Hanna, Nc
Kinley's manager, whose policy was to
temporize, was compelled to yield the
point and allow a straightout declaration
to 60 into the platform. Mr. Lodge was
able to say to his opponents Tuesday morn
that he had secured pledges of support from
% states and he assured Mr.. Hanna that a
fight would be made on the floor of the con-
vention unless he and his supporters yield
ed. A sub committee of the committee on
resolutions was finally agreed upon to
draft the financial plank, this committee
containing five gold men, one bimetallist
and one free-silver man. When this point
was reached the victory was won.
When Hanna and Lodge separated after
reaching this agreement Mr.. Hanna is
credited with having said to Mr.. Lodge:
'Really, Mr. Lodge, you are the most per-
sistent man have ever met" and with
touch of sarcasm he added: "Of course,
the Mckinley men will be permitted to
write the tariff plank and that will come
first."-
"Certainly," said Mr.. Lodge, ''the tariff
plank will come first. am not at all un-
reasonable. don't care in the least what
color you paint this wagon, so long as you
paint it red," and thereupon, in very good
nature, the conference concluded.
