says IN Telegram to Depew That He Has
''kescinded Nothing"
There is no doubt that the majority of
the delegates would willingly vote for
Governor Morton for vice president and
when 1t was reported that he had definite
ly decided to accept the place sentiment
rapidly crystalized in his favor. Dcpew
had received telegram from Morton stat
ing that he was candidate for president
only, and SO dissatisfied was Depew with
the situation, and SO disturbed over the
rumors that last night he sent this mess
age to Governor Morton: Stories circu-
lated tonight say you have decided to nc
copied the vice presidency instead Of presi-
dency. Do l understand that you have
rescinded your former telegram to me?"
Shortly after 10 o'clock this answer came
to Depew from Morton direct: Telegram
received; stories circulated are unfoundetl.
have rescindcd nothing" Depew showed
this to the Associated Press correspondent,
and said: II have no alternative but to
present Mr.. Mortoc's name to the conyen-
lion for presidcn1' When these tele.
grams were shown to Platt in his room.
he said:
II don't see that the situation Is changed.
MI. Morton is our candidate for president.
II he is defeated then we can consider his
fitness for the other Office. 1 never ex-
pected that Mr.. Morton would withdraw
from the presidential race"
"Levi P. Morton cannot 90 on the ticket
with William Mckinley" said Warner
Miller, the leader of the anti Platt faction.
1--WE will invoke the aid of the Mckinley
managers to assist us-their friends in
New York state-against this injecting of
national politics into our state fight" and
his followers added their ''yes' to the
statement. These men held a meeting
and formulated a protest against Morton's
nomination for vice president, which they
had printed and circulated everywhere.
Regarding the vice presidential situation
Newell Sanders chairman of the Tennes-
see state central committee, and Evans
manager, said: ''Mr Evans has q suffi.
Gent following to nominate him IL it is
left as an open fight. The only thing in
the way Is the custom of giving that place
to the east whom president is taken from
the west. Notwithstanding this Mr..
Evans will get good vote in the east,
especially In the states of Massachusetts,
Vermont and Pennsylvania"

1T HAS been proved scores Of timos In
different countries that cheapening the
money by lowering the standard increases
the cost Of living at least three or four
times as fast as 1t increases the wages of
working people. The most pitiful thing
about this cheap money craze at the pres
snt time Is just this feature Of IL What
ever Bryan, Williams and the rest Of
them may tell the workingman to the
contrary, one Of the chief reasons why tho
newspapers and the best class OF public

sdness that would b. sure to como upon

A member of the Clearing House says:
There was no large house or any
houses Of good credit yesterday which
did not succeed in getting whatever
funds were required to enable them TO
meet engagements. The fact that there
was no distress anywhere was clearly
shown by the total absence OF cash stock
in the market. IL has been almost
invariably the case that whenever
stock house Is unable 10 procure money
II sells stock for cash. and in this
way obtains a sufIiciency of funds TO
pay its loans. a few small and in
