MANLEY'o BREAK,
His Declaration Surprises Reed and the

His Declaration Surprises Reed and the
Candidates M tnarers.
Washington, June 1.-THE interview
given by Joseph Manley, conceding
the nomination to Mckinley. was a
surprise and shock to Speaker Reed and
his supporters In Washington. The
speaker. when the report was shown
him last night. denounced II as a lie.
To-day he declines to speak OF the mat
ter. Manley took the step entirely on
his own authority without consulting
Reed or any Of the Reed contingent In
Washington. A letter was received at
Reeds headquarters written by Man
ley just before he left Augusta. in
which he said he had not given up the
hope Of Reeds nomination. His last
step Is embarrassing to the Reed men.
One Of the Reed managers said:
"Manley has made q mistake. We do
not question his motives at all. Prob
ably he was laboring under discourage
ment caused by the adverse decisions
In the Alabama contests which We ex-
pected to gain. as the seats undoubt-
edly belonged to US. Perhaps he was
discouraged also by the number OF
Mckinley shouters. who arrived early
on the scene. We know no one can re-
gret the interview to-day more deeply
than Manley does. There are hundreds
Of delegates to the convention instruct
ed for Mckinley. who do not want to
vote for him. Circumstances may arise
under which the convention may see
that the nomination Of Mckinley Is
unwise. and in that event Reed would
stand the best chance for the nomina-
ton. We do not consider the fight
hopeless, nor do We believe Manley
does to-day"

There Ars Hundreds of Forms Coming In
From An rarls of the Cou,try.
st. Louis. June 11.-There are hun
dreds of forms Of financial planks for
the republican national platform at the
Mckinley headquarters In st. Louis.
and in the hands of McKinley's friends,
who will largely determine what the
platform shall be. More than a week
ago there were sent out To papers vaii-
Gus forms of financial plank. and in
timations made that 1t was form OF
declaration which was wanted. This
was done for the purpose Of securing
views OF the financial planks from all
sections and from people interested in
the character of the financial resolu-
ton. The result has been as anticipa-
ted, and platforms have been coming
In by letter and by telegraph from
every part of the country. The Nc
Kinley managers have not only been
able to obtain forms for financial
planks. but they have been able TO Sc
cure views Of men all over the coun-
try. whose opinions are worth having.
The more the matter is considered the
more probable 1t appears the nation-
al platform will conform very closely
To that of the Indiana convention, with
all reference to a ratio stricken out.
The Indiana platform declares against
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
"at a ratio OF l6 TO l." 1t is proposed

SWEEPS OF IMAGINATION

Everything Else.

st. Louis, June 11.-Telcgrams have
been received here that Cornelius ".
Bliss OF New York. with a large dele
CATION OF Mckinley men from that
state Is on the way 10 st. Louis. This
immediately started a great deal OF
gossip. and among the rumors was one
TO the effect that Bliss was TO he push
ed for the vice presidency. In order to
strengthen the ticket in New York.
This rumor had a running mate In one
which stated that information has been
obtained saying that Governor Morton
would accept the second place and that
Platt had been consulted and had said
the arrangement would be satisfactory.
1t seems that these rumors have been
started by those who think the McKin-
ley men, now In full control OF the
convention. are under the necessity OF
p,acating one section or another OF the
country, especially where there have
been disappointed presidential candi-
dates. Senator Gear OF Iowa has been
given second place in one of these wild
sweeps of the imagination which have
conceived necessity for placating the
state Of Iowa because Senator Allison
could not be nominated for president.
Mr.. Manley. who yesterday conceded
the nomination Of Mckinley, to-day
gave out the following statement: "St.
Louis, June 1.-THE action of the ma
tional committee at their meeting yes
terday, showing clearly their intention
of placing in the temporary roll dele
gates favorable to Governor Mckinley.
which In the end would mean 160 addi-
tional votes. caused me to make the
statement that did. / am as earnest
ly for Mr.. Reed as ever, and am. with
his friends, doing everything possible
to bring about his nomination, and /
urge upon his supporters throughout
the country to make still greater efforts
In his behalf. j. II. Manley."
Mr. Manley said that 1t appeared In
some quarters that his statement OF
yesterday was misunderstood, and he
made this statement in order that there
might be no mistake as to what was his
position.
Ex-senator Thomas C. Platt Of New
York and Chairman Hackett of the
New York state republican committee
arrived In St. Louis tonight. Senator
Platts arrival has been quite anxious
ly awaited on account of the manner
in which the southern contests have
been going and especially on account
of the statement Of Manley. sent out
last night. To his friends, he express
ed the greatest surprise that such a
statement should have been made by
Manley. Mr.. Platt announced. how
ever, that the fight would be carried
on against the nomination of McKin-
ley just as II no statement had been
made by Mr.. Reeds manager that the
Ohio man would be nominated on the
first ballot.
General Henderson and General
Dodge of Iowa, managers for Senator
Allison, arrived tonight and express
surprise that Mr.. Manley had given up
the fight.
