As-will be seen by the proceedings
of the Board of Aldermen published
in another column, they have jumped
on the Banner-Democfat with both
feet about an article appearing in our
issue of the 29th ult., in regard to the
board taking certain "powers out Of
the hands Of the marshal" 1t was not
our intention 10 reflect in any way on
our city fathers, who manage the
affairs of the town with such a busi-
pess-likc method, and the Information
that we based the article upon was
received from the marshal and on the
streets. We think though, that il was
uncalled for and unnecessary for the
board to have made such large size
mountain out of such a small size
mould bill, and it looks like that the
gentleman who introduced the lengthy
resolutions had some other grievance
against the BID. than the one men,
toned. 1t is not our purpose or desire
10 hurt the feelings of any one, but to
publish a paper, and give the happen
ings as they actually occur.
The board deny that they have
taken any "power out of the hands OF
the marshal" which we are glad to
learn. If our article has caused them
to feel that they have been unjustly
centured, we make the amends honor.

C. r. Egelly,
Finance Com.
The report of the Finance Commit
tee was adopted as read.
The following preamble and resolu-
tions passed unanimously, the same
being expressive of the opinion OF this
board, in regard to the subject matter
therein contained:
Whereas, The Banner-Democrat in
it's issue of the 29th ult., has published
in it's local column an article rejecting
upon the mayor and board OF alder
men referring to deprlving the city
marshal of powers vested in said officer
in making arrest, asserting that the
hands of the marshal were tied, etc.
Now therefore it is the sense OF this
board that we view with regret the
unjust criticism and reflection cast
upon the mayor and board of alder
men in the assertions made in article
which are incorrect, as this board has
never attempted to coerce or deprive
the marshal of any of the powers vested
in him as an official in making arrests
of violators of the law. and that the
Banner Democrat is laboring under
misapprehepsion of the facts, and
that the said Banuer-Democrat should
make proper correction OF the injustice
| done.
AS public officials we are fnlly
aware that our acts are subject t.
Ecriticism, to which We do not object
but claim in justice to ourselves thai

convention spent the day with Gov
ernor Mckinley at Canton, and started
for ST. Louis tonight. He was seen by
the Associated Press correspondent on
the train tonight and asked what he
regarded as the proba BILE action of the
convention on the money question.
Il am Of the opinion the convention
will declare unequivocally for sound
money. I should not be at all surprised
to see it adopt the financial plank of
the Indiana platform"
with the ratio clause left in?''
No; I rather expect to see the ratio
clause stricken out, if the convention
adopts the plank. AS it stands now
the plank pronounces emphaticaaly
against the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l. My opinion is that
if the convention sees fit to adopt the
plank it will simply obliterate the
words .16 to L. That will place 1t
squarely against the free coinage OF
silver at any and every ratio. Wheth-
er the Indiana plank is adopted or not
you can rest assured the convention is
going to pronounce in no uncertain
manner on the financial question.
There will be no straddle or anything
approaching a. straddle. 1t will be a
plain statement, one which he who
runs may read, in favor of sound
money!
will the tariff or the money ques-
ton be the issue of the campaign
Both, but expect to see the tariff
dominate before the campaign is
over"

said, in discussing the situation: Eat
present Hobart of New Jersey has the
lead with those now here. We cannot,
however, tell how it may be when more
delegates arrive Still, Mr.. Hobart is
generally recognized as an available
man. He came within two votes Of
defeating Smith of New Jersey for the
United States senate several years ago
and could easily carry New Jersey for
the Republican ticket this year.
The objection has been raised to Mr..
Hobart that New Jersey has always
gone Democratic in a presidential cleo
ton; but the friends of the New Jer-
sey man say that this is an unusual
year, and that with Hobart on the
ticket the Republicans would carry
the state by a sweeping majority.
The boom for H. Clay Evans of Ten

Evans himself has made no effort to

A PuzzIing Proposition.

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-There is some
difficulty about the selection of vice
presidential candidate, and it is by no
means a settled question. Garrett H.
Hobart of New Jersey and H. Clay
Evans of Tennessee are the most
prominent candidates ait the present
time. A man who has been made more
prominent in affairs than Mr.. Hobart
is wanted, while there is a. feeling
that Mr. Evans would make a stronger
run as candidate for governor of Ten
nessee than be would as vice president.
Many people believe Evans was elected
governor of Tennessee and think
Democrats would vote for him for gov
ernor who would not vote for him as a
candidate for vice-president.
The question of giving the second
place to New York has been consid-
cred, and Governor Morton and B. F.
Tracey and J. Sloat Fassett have been
considered, but it is very apparent
that any nominee in New York would
have to be dictated by Platt or an anti
P.att man selected. Either selection
might widen instead of closing the
breach in the party. and the conclusion
is that the vice-presdent must come
from outside of New York, and as the
case now stands Hobart appears to be
in the most advantageous position.

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-It is generally
believed tonight that the declaration
in favor of the gold standard in the
Republican platform Will be very en-
phatic and unequiyocaL When the
men from the east reach st. Louis,
they will find that the close friends of
Major Mckinley are ready to offer
them a financial plank that they can
agree upon without any hesitancy. Sew
eral drafts of a platform have been
prepared, and it is now believed that a
form has been secured which will be
satisfactory. 1t will declare
AGAINST THE FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER
unless il should be brought about by
international agreement. No ratio
is mentioned. and in this respect it is
more acceptable TO the gold men. 1t
will also declare the Republicans are
against the debasement of the cur
rency and, therefore. in favor of the
present gold standard. The Republl-
can party will be given credit for hav-
ing brought about the resump tion act,
which has always maintained every
dollar at parity, whether com or
paper. and that the standard of money
should be as it always had been and
IS now, equal to that OF the most en-
lighGened nations of the world
These declarations embody the wishes
of the friends of Mckinley. and the
men who are now here approve them.
If the resolution should be changed
Sit will be by the committee IN roc ~
tions or the convention itself. but this
Is not likely, as it contains all that is
asked for except by the most extreme
gold men. who want a Etraight single
gold standard declaration and nothing
more. There Is some opposition to the
reference TO an
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT,
hut those who desire that language
inserted in the resolution, say the
party should not place itself in oppo-
sition to the coinage of silver under
an international agreement. if such an
ARRANGEMENT could be made. but that
the party is not TO be pledged 10
bring about such an agreement, which
is a contention of some Of the dele
gates. 1t is believed by those Who
have examined the proposed financial
resolution that it will meet every de-
manI that can be made by the eastern
men. and that it will be incorporated
into the platform when adopted.
