KANSAS TO STAND BY GOLD.
Governor Morrill, Says Republicans From
There Will Fight for Honest Money at
the st. Louis Convention,

TneFo Wall EignG IOf hOneSG money ~
the st. Louis Convention
The following letter, together with the
above headlines, are taken from the
June issue OF the New York AdUertiSer:
Topeka, Kss., June 5.-You can assure
our Republican friends in New York
that their Kansas brethren will fight as
iercely as they, il need be, for the
adoption Of a single gold standard plank
in the ST. Louis platform. Kansas Re-
publicans are just as ardent in their
championship Of sound money as you
are in the East,
have every reason to believe that the
st. Louis convention will not seek TO
evade the issue, but will declare against
the free coinage Of silver at l6 to /, or
any other ratio You cannot make so
cents worth Of silver worth dollar any
more than you can make sixteen quarts
equal a bushel. The intelligent man
knows this, but the ignorant have to be
educated to know that cheap money
means deprecated currency and that
we should soon find ourselves bankrupt
as a country il we permitted ourselves
to adopt the free silver idea.
Very few Republicans in Kansas have
joined the free silvsrites. On the other
hand thousands Of honest money Demo
Gratis are ready to come over to US If we
adopt lOund money plank at St. Louis.
II, as it seems certain, the Democrats
are going in for free silver, there Is all
the more reason for the Republicans to
declare for the gold standard. The
issue will then be clearly defined between
the two parties.
Major Mckinley will stand on the
platform adopted at st. Louis, and it
will be sound money platform. IL was
unfortunate that his friends straddled |
the financial question in his own State,
but there will be no evasion in the ma
tional platform, in my opinon. The
platform will declare for gold, whether
Mckinley, Morton, Reed, Allison or
Quay be nominated.
GOVERNOR E. N. MORRILL, Of Kansas.

Leland Says LET 'em Bolt"

In reply to the query if "any Conces-
sions would be made the silver men in
the West," Chairman Leland Of the
Kansas Republican committee replied:
"None, whatever. Those fellows will
take what we give them, and if they
don't like it they can bolt; that is all
there is to it. In fact, l expect to see
some Of them bolt. And what il they
doP 1t won't affect the success Of
our ticket in the least. We can eRoily
do without them, with New York and
New Jersey, and we've got q cinch on
those States and Connecticut, too."
In a ST. Louis Republic interview Mr.,
Leland is quoted as ssaying:
II am for the gold standard. l want
the platform to say something and mean
it. We have tried hedging and trim
ming in our State and it don't pay. We
came out one year in lot Of Congress
sionRl districts announcing in the plat
form for free coinage, and the result Of
it all was the Populists said we were
trying to steal their thunder, and wal
loped the life out of as. Then we got
back to Republican principles and
redeemed the State"
"Will not the Republicans be likely
to lose Kansas il they plant themselves
on the gold standard?" was asked.
The "apple jack" statesman smiled
and looked mysteriously funny. swell,
hardly" was his reply. "With McKin-
ley as the nominee for President | Judge
we are good for about $4,000 majority" +"
To the Globe Democrat he ssid
"Kansas is not a free silver State, nor
is our delegation, there being only two
in the delegation with that leaning. l
am in favor Of coming out clear on the
matter and believe in a sound money
platform. What il the Eastern people
don't like our platform, what can they
do? They have nowhere else to go. The

A Gold Standard Party.

An Associated Press dispatch recently
sent out from New York says:
A movement has been started in this
city for the formation Of new National
political party, to be known as the Sound
Money party. Those who are behind it
are not yetready to announce themselves,
but copy Of circular which is in prep
aration was shown correspondent to-
day. 1t was only first draft, and is
likely to be much changed before it is
finally signed and put into type for
circulation. 1t is said that the circular
will be signed by some of the most
prominent men Of New York, Democrats
and Republicans alike. The circular
begins as follows:

and Democrats, observing the move
ment in our respective parties in favor

are unsourd in their views on questions

duty to refuse to submit to unworthy
party leadership, are fully persuaded
that the time has come for sll Repnbli-

REPUBLICANS MEET.
The National Convention Began at St. Louis
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
The Republicans of the nation are now
at st. Louis engaged in the work Ofnam-
ing candidates and framing platform
for the coming election. All the old
wheel-horses and bosses, big and little,
are In their accustomed places.
There seems little doubt but that
Mckinley will receive the nomination.
Speaker Reeds fight was injured some
what by virtual announcement Of his
withdrawal by his manager, Congress
man Manley. Reed denies that he is
out Of the fight and declares that he will
do the best he can to get the nomination.
Some excitement was occasioned when
the crowds began gathering by the
refusal of certain hotel men to entertain
colored delegates, notwithstanding the
fact that the committees contract
with the Business Mems League provided
AOr 6uCu ENTERTAINMENTS
The sessions of the National COM
mittee have continued since the middle
Of Last week and have been occupied
largely with the hearing Of contest cases.
In all districts or States where Mckinley
delegates are interested an attorney pre-
sents the Mckinley side to the committee.
This is causing much unpleasant
comment, as it is regarded by the OPP
position candidates as evidence that the
Mckinley people will force every point
and will leave nothing undone to obtain
control Of everything. If Mckinley had
prospect Of a close fight his efforts to
win every point might be more pleas
Rntly regarded, but as he already has
things his own way the opposition feels
that he should not be so eager in the
contest fights These contest matters
have gone to the extent that Boss Platt
Of New York fatty announces that If
fair treatment Of the opposition the
entire delegation, will walk out of the
convention.
The principal topic being discussed is
the finance plank. 1t would seem to be
absolutely certain that a single gold
standard declaration will be made. The
silver men will make a fight in the
committee and on the floor Of the con-
Vention for free coinage resolution, but
there is no doubt but that they will be
beaten. The best that they can posi-
bly, expect Is straddle. It Is not at all
likely that Senator Teller will accept
such q platform, and there is every
indication Of bolt on the part Of the
delegates from several Western States.
There is considerable talk Of the adoption
Of finance resolution similar to that
adopted by the Indiana convention.
This resolution was printed in last issue
Of the ADVOCATE.
There are q number Of names being
mentioned for the nomination for Vice
President. Speaker Reed or Governor
Morton could have it, Hobart Of New
Jersey is regarded as a very prominent
probability. Governor Evans of Ten
nesses would not object to the honor.

National Cooperative Congress.

A number of interested workers,
among whom are some OF the most prom
inent co-operatoFs in the country, have
issued a call for a National cooperative
congress to be held at st. Louis July a.
The object is to establish harmonious
relations between cooperative associa-
tions and TO effect an organization to dis
seminate cooperative principles. All
who are interested in this work are in
vited to attend. BY holding the con-
gress at st. Louis on the date named the
advantage Of a one-fRre rate is secured.
