mittee will meet ut St. Louis five days be-
fore the convention assemblies. It's duty
Is to make up the temporary roll--a duty
often delicate because IL involves the recog-
milton of contestirg delegations, and on
the preliminary decision of these contests
sometimes depends the control of the con-
vention. Only recently IL was claimed
that the managers of Mr.. Mckinley cam
paign were relying on the friendliness Of q
majority of the members of the Republican
national committee 10 give their candidate
control of the ST. Louis convention.
There are 81 contests for the committee
To consider this year, involving the seats Of
l56 delegates. Alabama, California, Del
aware, Florida, Georgia Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, New York, North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ten
nessee Texas. Virginia and Arizona have
contesting delegations, and IL will need a
Solomon TO determine in some of these
cases which of the delegations Is entitled
TO place in the convention.
The decision Of the committee Is awaited
almost hreathlessly by contesting delega-
tons II not that IL determines contests
finally. All of them must go before the
committee on credentials when il Is ap-
pointed. But possession of a delegates
seat is considered great advantage.
With the Saturday preceding the con-
vention the clans will begin TO assemble.
Sunday will find the hotels crowded, and
by Monday breathing room will be at a
premium. Tuesday morning Is, 600 people
delegates and spectators-will move on
the auditorium and take possession of 1t.
Most of them will be in their seats at
noon, when Chairman Carter of the ma
tional committee, stepping TO the front of
the platform, will pound on the table of
the presiding officer 10 call the convention
TO order. Most of the 900 delegates will be
in their seats, each in the section marked
by the banner which bears the name of his
state. All of them will face the chairman
as he stands with gavel poised and cries
aloud, THE convention will come to
order" To right and left of the delegates
will sit the altcrnates. On each side Of
the platform will stretch rows of desks, at
which 400 of the working representatives
of the great newspapers of the country will
sit, pencils in hand, noting the smallest
features of the great gathering. Behind
the presiding officer will be many distin-
guished neutrality-suspicious. Republicans

white Metal Men Arrange . Programme
That IL Dramatic.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho and Repre-
sentative Hartman, of Montana, Joined
Senator Teller here last night. There IL
no longer any doubt OF the purpose OF
these radical silver men TO bolt the action
of the convention unless they can have
their way about the financial plank. They
realize that they are In hopeless minor
ity, and they have carefully laid their
plans TO walk out Of the convention
The programme they have arranged
will probably furnish the most dramatic
and sensational incident of the convention.
They intend, as preliminary, TO marshal
all the strength they can in the committee
on resolutions for silver. They know
they will fail. but instead Of attempting
10 secure a compromise 1t will be their
plan TO so throw their strength In the
committee as to force If possible the adop-
ton of a straight-out gold plank, believing
that an emphatic gold declaration will put
them in more advantageous position for
what is TO follow.
AS one of them said last night: IF the
Republican convention cannot be right
we will force il TO be honest Better
gold declaration for all concerned than an
equivocal plank that means gold The
fight will then be carried to the floor OF
the convention under the leadership OF
Teller The Colorado senator, as the head
and spirit of the silver strength in the Re
publican party, will make speech which
his friends say will be the effort of his life
1t will be his valedctory to the Republic
an party.
1t will be followed, after the convention
which he will offer, by the formal an
nouncement of the severance of the ties
which bind him and his associates to the
party. This will either be done in the form
of a statement TO the convention or of an
address TO the people-more probably the
former.
1t is probable that Teller will go imme-
diately TO Colorado, and that the Republic
can silver men who go out with him will
remain here and issue an address to the
silver men of the country of all parties,
calling upon them to support Teller as the
pre-eminent representative Of the issue for
president. The silver men expect TO carry
at least five states out of the convention
with them-Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Ne
vada and Montana-and they are very
hopeful that the Democratic convention
at Chicago will nominate the man who
leads the bolt here.
ExRepresentate William ]. Bryan, the
leader of the free silver wing of the Ne
braska Democracy, was one of yesterdays
arrivals. The appearance of Bryan in
hotel corridor in consultation with sew
eral Republicans from free silver states of
the far west excited much comment. In
response to question concerning his mis-
sion Bryan remarked: Il have nothing TO
say now except that these gentlemen and
l will be found next November voting the
same ticket"

When the temporary organization has
been effected, the convention, after trans
acting unimportant business, usually ad-
1ourns until the following day, when the
committee on organization, named by the
state delegations reports the names Of the
permanent officers Of the convention.
Permanent Organization.
On the second day the temporary clair
man resigns his Office TO the permanent
chairman. 1t is to be hoped that the chair
man of the st. Louis convention, unlike
the one who presided at Minneapolis, will
be able TO make his voice heard beyond the
tirst row Of delegates.
The rules 10 govern the convention are
adopted, and chief among them Is the pro-
vision that resolutions must be referred
unread TO the committee on resolutions
Then the committee on credentials re-
ports on the contested cases and the con.
vention, as rule, votes on them in lump,
indorsing rhe action of the committee.
The committee on resolutions is the last
TO report. Occasions have arisen where IL
did not make its report until the candidate
had been named Usually, though, it re-
ports before the nominations are made and
Its work is second in Importance only TO
should be more important even, for If the
party is greater than its candidate the dec
laration of the party's principles should be
more important than its nominee
Curiously enough, there is more anxiety
over the work Of this committee on resolu-
lions this year than there is over the choos-
Ing of the candidate The business men of
the countryare standing on tiptoe waiting
for the Republican convention to declare
for 'sound money or TO straddle the cur
rency question. There is no doubt the con-
ventiOn will not declare for free coinage of
silver, but just how great a sop IL will
throw out TO the free silver delegates is
something which interests the whole coun-
try, and the commercial and financial in
terests Of the country especially.
Usually the report of the committee on
resolutions is accepted without debate, but
Ii has been amended in the convention
within the memory of the present genera
ton of politicians, and in the comins con-
vention it is very likely at least to be de-
bated
When the platform has been adopted
comes the time for choosing n candidate.
