ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June 1o.-The friends
of Speaker Reed have given up the fight.
When the National Committee took re-
cess at 6 o'clock this evening Hon. Joseph
Manley of Maine dictated the following to
the representative of the United Press, and
revised it prior to transmission:
I'm my judgment the convention will
nominate Governor Mckinley on the first
ballot for the Presidency. 1t is useless to
deny that this will be the result
THE action of the National Committee
in its overwhelming vote on the Alabama
case settles conclusively how the respective
States which the members of the commit
tee represent win vote in the convention.
"Mr. Reeds name will be presented to
the convention and he will be voted for,
and L am authorized to say that under no
circumstances can he. or will he, accept
the nomination for Vice-President if it
should be rendered to him.
''The great majority of the New England
delegates will be loyal to Mr.. Reed, but
it is evident that the convention is for
Mckinley and will nominate him."
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-11

the Buckley delegation be placed on the
temporary roll. Senator Gear OF Iowa
proposed as substitute that the Smith or
Mosely delegation be seated, while W. A.
Sutherland wanted the entire matter re-
ferred to q SUBJ com mittee of three to re-
port on Thursday morning
A suggestion from Senator Shoup of
Idaho that each delegate be given a half
vote in the interest of harmony was met
by so many cries of NO" and "That's
not the way to get harmony" that it was
not pressed. Suth erland's substitute was
voted down with shout and then the roll
was called .op the main question. Thirty
four delegates voted to seat the Buckley
tics and six the other way. By some over
sight the secretary failed to call the State
of Maine, but the majority was so over
whelming that Mr.. Manley did not call at
tention to the omission, although he said
afterward that he would have voted for
the contestants. The exact complexion of
the committee therefore, the representa-
tives of North Dakota, New Mexico. Okla
homa and Alaska being absent, was 3S to 7.
Next in order was the contest in the
Fourth Congressional District, where Con-
eressman w. F. Aldrich and H. f. Curry
claimed precedence of the regular dele
gates. Thomas G. Dunn and William A.
Stevens. The latter, bright colored man,
spoke for himself and his colleague, an ex.
Federal soldier and member of Han
cocks staff, and despite plausible state
ment from Representative Aldrich the
colored man made out so good case that
the vote is sustain the regular delegation
was unanimous.
There was applause when it was an
nounced that tie Sixth District contest
had been abandoned.
The Fifth District was passed until
Thursday.
In the Seventh District Charles D. Alex.
ander and John s. Curtis, the regular
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-11

delegates, told story of attempted riot
and threatened bloodshed at the district
conventions while the contestants, Frank
M. Morgan and John /. Guzzell, sought to
put another face on the matter.
When the room had been cleared Com
mitteeman Payne of Milwaukee expressed
frown upon such convention methods as
those that had been narrated, and sug-
gested that both regulars and contestants
be excluded from the regular roll. Com
mitteeman Hahn, however, moved to seat
Alexander and Curtis, and there were but
four voices in the negative.
The Eighth District contest was with
drawn and the names of the regular dele
gates-W. w. Simmons and H. V. Cashin
placed upon the roll.
In the Ninth District A. D. Winds (col-
ored) and w. c. HamliD, Grand Army
veteran, both adherents of the Moseley
wing contested the seats of ]. w. Hughes
and W. L. Saunders. State Chairman
Vaughan made the argument for the lat
ter, while Moseley argued that what was
sauce for the goose was sauce for the
gander," and that the committee could
not decide against the contestants in this
case without admitting that, the facts
being the same, il was wrong in the Sew
enth District contests. The committee
agreed with him, and Powell Clayton's
motion to seat the colored man and the
ex-Northern volunteer was carried with
shout.
At 6:15 the committee took recess until
SP NJ. Subsequently it was announced
A. c4 - l.
settled by arbitration. Of the regulars
and contestants one favors Allison, one
Mckinley and two Reed.
When the committee reconvened at 8:15
o'clock the contest on delegates-at-large
from Florida and those in the Third and
Fourth districts of California were made
the special order for Thursday morning.
Georgia was next in order. and Chairman
Carter remarked, soto voce, as he sur
rendered the chair to M. Il. de Young,
that at the present rate of progress the
committee would still be in session when
the convention assembled on Tuesday.
Only two seats of the four delegates-at-
large from this State proved to be con-
tested. r. r. Wright (colored), who at
the outset announced himself the original
Mckinley champion of his State. opened
for the two contestants, himself and J. g.
Hetherington, an adherent of Senator
Allison, who were chosen at second
had adjourned.
w. II. Smythe replied in behalf of the
delegates attacked, j. U. Deveaux and n.
A. Rucker, and showed from the sworn
minutes that the two last named were Sc

strong movement for compromise. This
afternoon he sent for a number of the
Southern delegates who are known to be
friendly to Mckinley, and urged them not
to push their demands for gold plank.

Westerners.
The incoming crowds on the late trains
last night and those of the early morning
were so numerous as to take by surprise
the hotel people and the local committee
of arrangements, who, going by the re-
ports from different parts OF the country,
had been led to believe that it would be-
late in the week before the visitors would
be very much in evidence.
Before the breakfast hour was over this
morning, however, four pages of freshly
written autographs had been added to the
convention register at the Southern.
About the same number were recorded at
the Planters and the Lindell. In the ro-
tundas were the same ever changing
crowds, the same discussions, whispering
confabs, button holeing and other incidents
that are the invariable accom- paniments of
a rally of political chieftains
There were a score or more of old friends
and acquaintance at the Union station to
welcome the "head center" of Major Nc
Kinley's campaign, Mark A. Hanna, when
the Bee Line train from Cleveland pulled
in at 7;3o.
With him were General w. Mckinley
Osborne of Boston, the majors cousin;
Myron T. Herrick and Colonel Sylvester
Everett delegates from Cleveland: W.. NJ.
Hahn of Mansfield and Oscar R. Meyer of
Portland, Or. Before he had time to
register at the Southern Hotel Mr.. Hanna
was the center of group of other dis
tinguished Republicans, among whom
were SamuelFessenden of Connecticut; NJ.
J. Bowling, president of the Minnesota
State League; Henry C. Payne OF Mil
waukee, Ex-Governor Fifer and CAPTAIN
| Tanner, the latter the gubernatorial nomi-
nee in Illinois. There were greetings and
| handshakes, and then, after hurried
! breakfast, Mr.. Hanna betook himself to
the private room of the Mckinley head
quarters, on the parlor floor, and conferred
with Judge Thompson.
Then a messenger was sent in quest OF
]. n. Huston of Indianapolis, who, it is
undelsto is authorized to speak for
Charles w. Fairbanks of the same city,
regarding the presentation of the latter's
name to the National Commute as cam
didate for the temporary chairmanship of
the committee. Mr.. Huston, however,
was not to be found for the moment, and
Mr.. Hanna turned TO the task of greeting

lected by acclamatlon, the opposition max
ing no protest until after the convention
had ad djourned. This and other proof was
sufficient for the committee and by un-
animous vote Deveaux and Rucker were
seated. The other delegates-at-large are
A. G. Buck and II. L. Johnson.
In the First District of Georgia r. w.
White and S. o. Cherry both (colored)
contested the seats of M. j. Bowie and S.
b. Morse (colored). who were chosen at
the regular convention. All four are Nc
Kinleyltes, the two latter having been
given instructions. Both sides were ac-
corded full hearing. 1. w. Lyons of the
Tenth District, a colored delegate, aroused
interest by an earnest speech in behalf of
Boyle. who is an Irishman. Boyle and
Morse were seated, with five dissensions.
The Ninth Georgia District contest was
passed until tomorrow, and that in the
Eleventh District was taken up. In this
case the seats of S. M. Scarlett and Will
liam Jones, both colored and instructed
for Mckinley, were claimed by w. H.
Matthews and D. Outlaw, also colored,
who were instructed for Reed by conven-
ton consisting of seven bolters.
Another exhaustive presentation of affi-
davits and personal experiences of persons
present at the district convention was in
order and in the result Jones and Scarlet
were seated without about a half dozen
votes in the negative.
At 1925 the first of the Kentucky con-
tests was called, but several committee
men entered a protest against midnight
session on the ground that they had been
on the road for from two to four nights
and needed rest, and an adjournment was
therefore taken until 10 A. NJ.
Each member of the National Commit
tee, rs we'll as the leading delegates on the
ground, was furnished this afternoon with
gested monetary plank for the plat
form drawn up by Richard G. Kerens. 1t
reads as follows:
1--WE be lieye that our m oney should not
be inferior to the money of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth, and are
unalterably opposed to every scheme that
threatens to debase or depreciate our pres
ent monetary standard. We favor the
reasonable use of silver as currency, but
such use should be to the extent only and
under such well-defined regulation that
its parity with gold as currency can be
easily and efficiently maintained. AS con-
sistent bimetallists, we are opposed to the
independent free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to as measure fraught with
certain disaster to all commercial inter-
ests, destructive to the interest of the
wage-earner and in the absence of inter-
national agreement, sure to lead to silver
monometallism."
Mark Hanna is already taking hand in
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-11

able mention on the first ballot. All this
is so apparent that no one risks even a
doubt of it. Friends of the minority can
didates are whistling through the grave
yard of impending defeat, and hoping
that something may happen"
Something has happened, but not to the
liking of the minority. II has transpired
that the Mckinley contested delegates will
be seated in the convention and will assist
in the temporary organization. First
nossession will mean title in fee to these
seats after the credentials committee has
reported and the permanent organization
is effected.
The atmosphere about the various head
quarters that was so strongly impregnated
has undergone a change. 1t is not diff
cult to analyze this transmutation OF met
ais. Whereas the early arrivals were from
the Western States and Territories, where
every tone is silver, the arrivals to-day
were from the Atlantic seaboard and the
New England States, where gold is sa-
cred dogma of faith. There was lots of
silver and more of gold in the exchanges
of opinions to-day. Primarily and finally
all are Republicans. and while the dele
oates from these sections widely differ on
finances it is believed from developments
TODAY that the earlier threats to bolt COM
ing from botn sides were blank cartridges
fired to test the purpose OF the opposition.
This easing off in the talk OF boiling has
smoothed the way to better understand
ing and the platform makers work IS
made easier The California, Utah, Ne
vada and other Western delegations have
not entirely abandoned the fight and are
preparing silver resolution to be pre-
sented to the committee on platform.
Colonel Isaac Trumbo of Salt Lake has
the resolution in charge and will advocate
its adoption by the committee.

seats IA, 125 persons and the chairs are so
arranged as to give every occupant an un-
obstructed view of the chairman's desk.
Many of the politicians who form the
advance guard of the convention were
present at the ceremonies tonight. The
question of hotel accommodations for the
colored delegates reached a crisis this
afternoon and speedy solution was de-
manded by those committeeman having
the matter in charge. Manager Henry G.
Lewis of the Southern Hotel was appealed
to and after a hasty consultation with a
number of hotel proprietors the following
statement was given out:
"To the National Republican Committee:
In regard to the accommodations for the
colored delegates to the Republican Con-
vention to be furnished by the hotels of St.
Louis and promised by the Business Mems
League of st. Louis while in Washington
last December, am authorized to say that
the Southern Hotel, the st. Nicholas Hotel,
the Lindell Hotel and the Laclede Hotel
will live up to that promise In spirit and
letter and will make no distinction what
ever. but will grant TO all delegates to the
Republican Convention equal rights and
privileges. Respectfully.
"W. R. ALLEN,
president Southern Hotel Company
The friends of Major Mckinley are in
overwhelming control of the National
Committee. This was demonstrated at its
meeting to-day, first in the adoption by a
practically unanimous vote of Powell
Clayton's resolution to hear the contests
in committee of the whole instead of re-
ferring them to subcommittee appointed
in accordance with precedent by the Ma
tioual chairman, and again in the vote on
the numerous contests from Alabama
With >ut single exception-and this in a
