.APPORTIONMENT SCHEMES.
Proposition to Abandon the Old Plan
MIR. Acheson's Table.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ST. LOUIS, June 13.-There is fight
ahead between the Mckinley and the anti
Mckinley forces which may not end as all
the other anti-McKinIey contests now
promise to result. This is the old fight for
a new method of apportioning delegates.
Reference was made in an earlier dispatch
to the fact that this matter would be taken
UP at the present convention. and it is ap-
parent that the advocates for new sys-
tenn of apportionment are constantly gain
ing recruits. This matter was first brought
up at the convention of 1884 by Judge
Ewing. of Pennsylvania, who proposed
that the old system OF apportionng dele
gates on the basis of representation IN
Congress be abandoned and in it's stead be
substituted an apportionment based on the
number of Republican votes cast at the
last federal election Immediately preced-
ing the national convention. The PROPOSE
ton was bitterly opposed by the Southern
delegates, who were quick to see that it was
aimed at them. They claimed that the Re-
publican vote in the South is systematic
ally suppressed and at each recurring
convention when this proposition has been
brought forward this plea has always
served to defeat it. This year the matter
Will be fought out in the convention.
National committeeman Scott of West
Virginia, and Payne, of Wisconsin, will
bring the subject up in the meeting of the
national committee on Monday If not be-
fore, but they recognize that they will be
defeated. as the Mckinley men, who have
the overwhelming preponderance on the
committee, are opposed to any change. But
while the Mckinley men may suppress the
movement In the committee, there will be
found strong support in the convention.
Thus Senator Quay is in favor of a change
OF methods. and one of the first acts of the
Pennsylvania delegation when it meets here
will be 10 indorse the movement. Other
States with strong representation on the
floor. like Illinois and Missouri, are enlist
ed in the movement, and Ii will be a topic
of some earnest discussion before it is set
tied. The present proposition is the same
as the one brought forward by Mr. Scott
four years ago, and bases the representa-
ton on an apportionnient OF one delegate
FOR every seven thousand Republican votes
cast at the last preceding federal election.
The four delegates at large Will still re-
main, and in addition to these every State
shall have at least one delegate even
though it does not cast the requisite seven
thousand number of Republican votes. II
Mr.. Scotts proposition be adopted the rep
rcsentation OF all but three States would be
affected The representation OF fifteen
States would be decreased, the represen-
tation OF twenty-six would be increased.
and that OF Kentucky. Missouri and Rhode
Island would remain as II is. This estimate
Is made upon the basis of the vote cast for
Congress In each district in 1894 That is
taken because the vote of 1896 is more
likely 10 approximate the vote of 1894 than
that OF fSsz- In many districts doubtless
the vote In LIS will exceed that polled In
The Indianapolis journal., 1896-06-14


1884, and the representation of these dis
tricts will be increased thereby. On the
basis OF the vote of 1894. the convention OF
1900 would contain 40 more delegates than
the convention of this year, providing that
the representation of Utah and the Terri
tories remain as at present. The gain in
delegates in twenty-six States is 199. and
the loss in fifteen States is seventy-nine.
The membership of the ST. Louis conven-
ton will be 9ls and If the Republican
vote in the several districts this year aver
ages the same as in 1894. the representa-
ton in the next convention will, therefore,
be LOSS.
In the following table the figures i'm the
first column show gains made In certain
States and the second loss made in other
States. If the objection be made that the
increase Of the total number of delegates
is too large, that can easily be remedied
by increasing the ratio of representation to
5000 or 10000 The following is Mr.. Ache
sons table:

"NoNE OF YOUR BUsINEss. ,,

The financial plank of the republican platform is saidrto have been submitted to J. Pierpont Morgan for his approval, being wired him from St. Louis on Mon day last. When seen by a New York Journal reporter in his Wall street office and asked concerning the matter the fol- lowing conversation took place:
 Tt is reported, MT Morgan, that the republican currency plank has been wired to you for your approval"
 There hasn't been any plank adopted yet"
 NO, but if you have passed upon and approved a proposed plank the public would be interested to know its provis- ions."
 q wouldn't show it to you" said MT. Morgan.
 Do you object to stating if proposed plank has been forwarded to you for ap- proval?"
 Tt is none of your business"
 But the public is interested in know ing whether Wall street has set it's stamp of approval upon the money plank in the platform
 What right have you to come here and ask me these questions? Again I say 1t is none of your business"
 It has come to a pretty pass when the financial policy of one of the great po- litical parties of the United States must be submitted to the shylocks of Wall street for approval. Nothing more than this incident is needed to prove that the republican party has outllved its mission and usefulness, and the sooner it dies the better for the people and the country.

HAS NOT REMAINED TRUE.

The reform movement in Alabama is | a popular uprising. It has begun where l every movement in the name of liberty | has always begun to-wit, at the base of | the social structure-the will of the 1 masses. The republican party has had nothing to do with it and can never have | anything of control over 1t so long as it remains true to itself.-Kolb's Tribune. The reform movement, as Kolb's Tri- | bune in November last called the peoples party, has not remained true to itself. | We are assured by so high an authority as Kolb's Tribune that so long as the re- | form movement remained true to itself the republican party had nothing to do
 with it and could have no control over it. It now being fact that the republi- can party does have to do with the re- form movement and is actually exercising complete control over it, we can but con- clude that it has not remained true to itself
 The reason it failed to remain true to itself is because it fell into bad hands. It's leadership got caught by the
 promise of contingent fayors from a possible republican government at Wash ington" and proceeded to "pack public meetings and conventions on the hon. est voters who joined the reform move ment in perfect good faith.
 There can be no doubt about this proposition. We are pre- pared to establish it by Kolbs Tribune Here is what that organ said about it n November last:
 Republicans in Alabama have voted the reform ticket because they could not help themselves. The moment their few managers in Alabama come to imagine
 they can get help from Washington to assume the power and emoluments of office in Alabama then they blow their horn and entice weak and designing re- formers to come in and share the booty with them."
 They were blowing their horn at the
 time the above appeared in Kolb's paper, but the toot was not full enough of booty
 to catch the owner and operator of the
 Tribune. However, later on he, too, fell by the wayside, either because of diff ferent blow of the horn or the promise of larger slice of the booty.

LET HIM DEPART.

We are informed by dispatches from St. Louis, that MT. Stahlman, together with his Nashville newspaper, the Banner, has gone over boot and baggage to the republican party. By all means let MT. Stahlman go, and his newspaper, too. Don't anybody object. The sooner all of his sort, who have been masquerading as democrats, take their places in the re- publican party, where they belong, the better for the democratic party and the country.
 MT. Stahlman should have been in the republican party all the while, ar 1uahis newspaper should have been there also. We may expect the departure of many others of the same political stripe os MT. Stahlman and his Nashville newspaper before the contest between the party of the people and the party of the corporate and money power interests gets fairly underway.
 After the Chicago convention acts and the fact is settled beyond perad- venture, as It win then be. that MT. Stahl- mans sort are going to be put on an equal footing with the people of the coun- try, and that not only will no further class legislation be indulged in, but that already on the statute books is to be stricken off. we will see MT. Stahlman's sort hustling out of the democratic party

THE ExPLosIoN HERE.

The explosion is coming. The prophecy of Kolb's Tribune, made last November, is going to come true. In fact, it has come true. The "piebald" party, which the Tribune said fusion would create, has about gone to pieces. Nearly all the self respecting white men who were formerly democrats have refused to swallow the thing. Smart managers packed public meeting and conventions and succeeded in foisting on the peoples party bas- tard organization, and the explosion has arrived. The offspring is being hurled into atoms. We really think, too, they are too small to be raked up for burial. Above is what has and is coming to pass.
 Here is what Kolb's Tribune, that is just now trying to rake up the shattered fragments for interment, said, in Novem- Der last, would happen.
 But it may be put down as an assured result that in the event smart managers shall pack public meetings and conven- tionS of reformerS, and thus succeed in foisting on the peoples party a bastard organization, there will be an explosion before election day next August that will hurl them and their offspring into atoms too small to be scraped up for burial"
 Of course, when Kolb's Tribune was talking as above its owner had not be- come reconeiled to the way the "contin- gent favors from a possible republican government at Washington" were to be dished out. He at that time thought the lions share was going to fall to some one other than himself, and that, therefore, they would turn to ashes"

 NEEDN'T WORRY.

MT. Cleveland need suffer no uneasi-
 ness over the probable action of the
 democratic convention when it meets in
 Chicago this year. The party has learned
 a good deal since 1t met there the last
 time The grievous mistake made four years ago when platform for free coin
 age was adopted and goldbug nomi-
 mated on it has cost the party and the
 country too dearly not to have taught a
 lesson.
 It is good news to the country at large to be able to read the following from the always ready pen of the president, when something to please the goldbugs is to be written
 ''I am very far from arrogating to my self controlling influence upon the pol icy of my party"
 There are doubtless many who will be constrained to believe that the recent re- suit in Alabama, Kentucky and Georgia had something to do with bringing the president around to the point of making that remark. While he was engaged in forcing congressman to travail and see light in the nighttime, it did not ap- pear that the occupant Of the White House was very far from arrogating to himself controlling influence upon the policy of the party

When the Bland-Allison bill for the re- coinage of the silver dollar was passed by congress the money power had the presi- dent by the throat and forced President Hayes to veto the bill. The measure be- came a law over the presidents veto. The supporters of the measure were roundly denounced by the same power that Is in control of the republican party at St. Louis, as enemies of the public credit and pilloried in the metropolitan press as madmen, knaves or fools. It was said that $75,OOO,OOO of silver might possibly be maintained at par but more than this would result in individual ruin, the expulsion of gold, silver monometal- lism and national bankruptcy. Instead of $75,OOO,OO0, under that act and the act of 1890, more than $6OO,OOO,O00 were added to the circulating medium in silver coin and silver certificates, and none of the proph- ecies of evil came to pass. On the contra ry. the period from 1873 to 1892 was mark ed by constant and unprecedented pros- perity.
