the representatives of other candidates.
Mark Hanna was obliged to respond to
calls to address the convention.
After the decision of the Platt forces
in New York not to present the name of
Governor Morton, owing to the war
waged against him by the Warner Mil
Ter faction, the nomination of Hobart Of
New Jersey became certainty.
Mr.. Hanna's and the Mckinley inf1u-
nece was thrown for him, and although
htere was an attempt to con-
ciliate the west on Evans of
Tennessee the Mckinley infiu-
ence was too potent. Besides, it was
the general sense of the delegates that
the situation required the nomination Of
an eastern man for vice president. The
nominating speeches were brief
Bulkley of Connecticut, Lippitt of
Rhode Island and General Walker of
Virginia were also placed in nomination
but it only required one ballot to deter
mine the contest. Hobart received 53Ok
votes, ninety more than a majority; Ev-
ans, his nearest competitor, received
2S01A. There were scattering votes for
Reed Thurston, Grant, Depew, Morton
and Brown.

into the delegation the resolution would
make him powerless. The attempt to

then adopted after another hard struggle
by the gold men, and the resolution hy

ST. LOUIS, June 1S.-The convention

which time Mr.. Thurston called the body
to order, and without waiting for the
delegates to get into their seats intro
duced Rev. John r. Scott colored cler-

prayer. Although DR.. Scott's voice was
strong. so great was the confusion it
could be told only from the movements
of the minister's lips that he was pray

The chairman then announced the
reading of the report of the committee
on platform as the next order of busi-
ness and called upon Foraker to read
the report.
The announcement of Foraker's name
produced a tremendous outburst of ap-
plause which continued several min

again with renewed force. After quiet

This ominous spectacle at once attract

conversation was afterwards discovered
to be about as follows:
DR.. Depew-Let us have a short ad-

Senator Dubois-Mr Chairman:
There are great many delegates in this
convention who are for the free and un-
restricted coinage of silver at q ratio of
16 to l. There are also a great many
delegates in this convention who are in
favor of the single gold standard. I
therefore ask for separate vote on the
financial platform, in order that our
great party may go on record on this
great question. (Cries of no. no. no.)
ask this particularly in the interests Of
the Republican party.
The Chairman-The chair will state
that iN case the previous question is
ordered by this convention under the
rules any state, seconded by other states.

Colorado and Montana called for a
division on the question.
The Chairman-The request for divis-
ion on the question has been properly
seconded and the chair will, therefore,
state that in case the previous question
is first ordered, the question will there
after be put as upon that portion Of the
plank upon which the demand is made
for separate vote. The question be-
fore the convention is upon the previous
question.
MIR. Stevens Of Idaho-I ask that the
