VARIOUS CANDIDATES
Reed Is Very Serene but Refuses to
Talk
Governor Morton 10 Also Calm, and Hopes
That the Result May Still Be
In Doubt

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Speaker
Reed was about the hotels throughout
the morning and received bulletins of
the early proceedings at ST. Louis. Be-
sides these, close friends of Mr.. Reed
kept him pretty thoroughly advised of
events beneath the surface. He main
tanned his usual serenity and appears
quite as much concerned with his books
as with developments of the convention.
The speaker is very reticent and will
not talk as to the outcome Of the con-
vention.
A Western congressman, who was ac-
tive in behalf of Reed. received dis
patch today saying there was a strong
under current on behalf of Maine and
the outcome was not yet free from
doubt.
The information was taken with some
allowance as it was felt he was infiu-
enced by preference for Reed. Reeds
friends here regard the declaration in
favor of a gold plank as introducing a

said that. No mans affidavit to that
effect stating knowledge, was read.
That distinguished gentleman said
somebody else told him that upon an
occasion, critical indeed, Mr.. Addicks
contributed $4,000 to Democratic cam
paign fund. That was the character of
the proof. That affidavit was not pre-
sented. Again he said that he had learn
ed the Standard Oil company had con-
tributed 100000 to Addicks senatorial
election. Not an affidavit, not particle
of proof-and those are the evidences
upon which the political integrity of Mr..
Addicks is impeached. If there is more,
name it. If you have anything else that
was brought before that committee,
bring it out. (Cries Of That's it! That's
it!') I don't know what affidavits may
have been brought here. They were not
presented to, nor considered by your
committee. and yet there stood that man
thus assailed, stating that he had voted
for Abraham Lincoln and for every Re-
publican candidate from that day down.
(Cheers.) He stated that never in his
life had he voted any other than a Re-
publican ticket, and no one assailed that
statement. save by these wild, loose, ir-

five persons were not Republicans, and
yet they were the head and front Of the
Republican organization there until
they preferred Addicks to Higgins for
senator. The Republicanism ceased
when they failed to support the preten-
sions of the ex-senator"
A vote was taken on the minority re-
port recommending the admission of the
Addicks delegates from Delaware. and it
was lost. Applause.)
The question required on the admis-
sion Of the Quincy delegates from Texas
and it also failed to carry. (Applause.)
The remainder of the minority report
was rejected.
The question Of the adoption Of the
majority report was then put, and it was
carried by large majority. The result
was received with almost universal
cheering.

MORTON IS CALM.

MORTON IS CALM.
RHINECLIFF, N. Y, June 17.-Gov-
ernor Morton is watching the course of
events at st. Louis with unruffled de-
meanor, showing no anxiety whatever.
The governor has had a telegraph wire
run into his house, over which he re-
ceives the Associated Press dispatches
from st. Louis, which. as his private Sec
retary puts it, keeps him in touch with
the most minute details of the conven-
ton. With representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, who called on him, Mr..
Morton chatted pleasantly on all topics
not associated with the convention. but
became reticent when convention gos-
sip was mentioned. When the gold plank
adopted was mentioned, he made no
declaration, but the expression of de-
light which lit up his face instantly told
that the plank met with his views ex
actly. AS regards acceptance of the
ce-presidential nomination he had
nothing to say.

WITH this he located tract on

PattiSon the ChoIce.

1t is quite evident from the result Of
Saturdays's convention that the
lines voiced the sentiment of the Re-
publicans of the city of Superior when
few weeks ago it said IF Mr. Patti
son would accept, there was no ques-
ton but what he vas better fitted by
experience, independence of charac-
ter and fortune than any other man
for the office of Maror."
The compliment paid Martin Pattison
on Saturday, being chosen by acclama-
ton with but one opposing vote, after
he has at two different times held the
office Is assurance enough that the peo-
pie believe him honest, and Trustworthy
capable OF filling the position with
credit to every one. There is no reason
why the Republican party should not
have a glorious victory in the coming
election unless some of the disappointed
leaders quietly work for the defeat oft
party which they 50 loudly support in
public. If Mr.. Pattison is by anv
means defeated it will be through the
combinations made by men in his own
party.
Mr.. Ekstrand for treasurer and Mr..
TiCknor for comptroller were unani-
mously placed on the tickets of Popu-
lists, Democrats and Republicans. Such
is the reward of the faithful, honest
official servant. The balance of the
ticket vas well filed out, but around

Apostle of Protection, William McKin-

Party to which you and belong will be
called upon to again assume the reins

Democrats Decide Wisely.

On Saturday evening the adjourned
Democratic convention came OFF. And
never in their history have they nom
mated a better man for Mayor. If, in
this year of Republican land slides, any
Democrat could carry Republican city
like Superior, Mr. Carl NJ. Wilson is
the man that could do it. After receiv-
ing the nomination Mr.. Wilson made a
very happy impromptu speech, in
which lie declares for good government,
freedom from political rings, reduced
taxation, and general economy. lie also
announces that he will make no COM
binations, if elected will go unpledged
into office, and expects to surround
himself with the smartest and abest
men of the community. If held to the
promises made in his speech, Mr.. Viii
son if elected would make a very safe
mayor, and the citizens may feel per-
teCtly safe which ever it is, Pattison or
Wilson. Under existing circumstances
however, We can see no good reason
why every Republican should not vote
the party ticket.
Another wise thing the Democrats
did was to endorse Treasurer Ekstrand
and Comptroller Ticknor for their of
fees. They could not improve upon
them, SO wisely endorsed them, thus
hoping to gain support for the head
of the ticket from the Good Govern
ment Club.
