st. Louis, June 16.--The money plank
Of the platform has been agreed upon.
1t is a victory for the middle west, but
perfectly satisfactory to the extreme
east The New England contingent,
headed by Lodge of Massachusetts and
backed by the Plat and Quay forces in
New York and Pennsylvania urged the
adoption of short emphatic declara-
ton The middle west, however, for
INFLATED a plank which it insisted
upon, and which was submitted to the
eastern men. The latter soon agreed
to 1t and now that all but the extreme
free silver men are satisfied the general
impression here is that the plank
agreed upon will be put into the plat
form. Senator Foraker will present it
to the committee On resolutions. 1t
fellows:
The republican party is unreserv-
edy for sound money. 1t caused the
enactment of the law providing for a
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold. We are unalterably Op-
posed to every measure calculated to
debase our currency or impair the
credit of our country. We are, there
fore, opposed to free and unlimited
coinage of silver except by internatiOn-
al agreement, which we favor, and un-
til such agreement can be obtained the
existing gold standard should be pre-
served. We favor the use Of silver as
currency but to the extent only, that
it's parity with gold can be maintained
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain inviOlably the money of the
United States whether coin or paper"
A dispatch early Tuesday morning
says: "As a result of much tele-
graphic negotiations between st.
Louis and Albany it is definitely stat
ed on what is believed to be good
authority that Governor Morton has
finally yielded to the solicitations Of
friends and agreed to accept the vice
presidency nomination. Despite the
split in the New York delegation, he
is now to be vigorously pressed for
the nomination.

draft of the platform covering most of
the subjects TO be presented, and this
will furnish basis for the work of
constructing the platform. The selec-
ton by various state delegations yes
terday of their membership on the
committees, was rot marked by sensa-
tional incidents save in New York and
Missouri. In New York all the smould-
ering bitterness between Platt and anti
Platt factions broke forth, and Warner
Miller, at the head Of the anti-Platt
faction, threw down the gauntlet Of
defiance to the New York leader. He
made ringing speech in which he
spurned the leadership of man who
had declared that Mckinley was unfit
for the presidency, and moved to de-
pose him by making Depew chairman
of the delegation. Platt, however was
reelected chairman.
The situation as to the vice presi-
dency continues indefinite and opinion
does not seem to crystalize. Talk of
Hobart of New Jersey, Lippett of Rhode
Island and Evans of Tennessee goes on
but does not seem to be regarded ser
iously. Although the Maine delegation
is not advertising the fact, it is almost
certain that it will present the name Of
Ex-Governor CIeaves. There is still a
lingering hope among a vast number
of delegates that Speaker Reed will be
nominated by a spontaneous outburst
in the convention, and if he is, they
do not believe that he could decline
any more than Logan could in 1884 or
they were placed on the democratic
tickets in 1884 and 1888 respectively.
