A Bolt Promised,
1t Is announced to-day that the con-
vention, after all, is not to miss the oX-
element of a bolt, The extreme free
silverites are to be the boilers, Realt2-
ing that they are in hopeless minority
their leaders have held a conference
and decided that if they cannot get a
16 to | silver platform they will walk
out Of the convention to emphasize
their protest AGAINST an honest curren.
cy, How many delegates they will be
able to take out has not been stated,
but the number will be small
The Vice Presidency.
The friends of General McAlpin Of
New York announce to-day that his
name viii certainly be presented to the
convention as a candidate for vice
president His only backing for the
place seems to be the enthusiastic
young men who are members of the
League of Republican Clubs. Several
months ago General McAlpin made
trip through the west, and on his re
turn it was announced that he mad
been trying to make q deal with Mark
Hanna for second place on the ticket,
At the time the general Indignantly de-
MED the story-but it was true, just the
same,
H. Clay Evans Of Tennessee is still
candidate for vice president and while
he will probably be unable to get the
nomination, he can help the anti-Mc-
Kinley combination beat Hobart Of
New Jersey. Evans will get major
ity of the votes from the southern
states, which, il he were not in the
race, would be controlled by Mark
Hanna and cast for the New Jersey
man. Evans ran for governor last
year, but asserts that he was counted
out. He is using this fact for all II is
worth in his canvass here, and he real
ly has a very strong following.
General Daniel Buttertleld of New
York is the latest candidate for second
place on the ticket, but he has no show
for the nomination. Some talk Of at
tempting to nominate Morton as Nc
Kinley's running mate is still heard,
but after the governors positive an
nouncement that he viii not take sec
ond place it is doubtful If his name is
presented.
The anti Plat leaders quietly init
mate that under no circumstances win
they unite with the regulars in the sup
port of j. Sloat Fassett. Mark Hanna
would like to take his candidate for
second place from the Empire state If
he could find a man on whom all fac
tons Of the party there could be unit
ed But all his attempts in that direc-
ton having failed, 1t is believed he will
try to force the nomination of Hobart.
Must Be Gold, Says Allison
Senator Allison says: THE republic
can party was not an enemy of silver,
but had always stood for as extended
q use of it as was consistent with
maintenance of the parity between the
two metals. Under its rule, he said,
silver had attained to an extensive use,
and the republican party favored this
use so long as it did not seem to be
menace to the existing standard,
Free coinage at Is tot, however, with
out an international agreement" he
said, simply means silver monometal-
lism, and the republican party will
never consent to be a party to such a
crime against the financial and indus
trial forces of this country. The great
business interests of the country, to
friend, look confidently to it now to
take its stand unequivocally for the
maintenance of an honest dollar, and
it would be false to its glorious record
| if it failed in however so slight a de-
gree, to fully meet these expectations.
There can be no doubt, either, as to
| how the masses of the republican party
| think on this question. They feel that
the party is facing another great crisis
in its history, and they are eager to see
| it, face 1t with the same fearlessness
with which 1t has faced the many mo-
mentous problems of the past. | have
no fears myself therefore, as to what
the st. Louis convention will do, and [
believe its action will meet with the
Endorsement of the great business inter-
ests of the country, independent of par
ty affiliations.
"The convention will probably declare
for tariff which will afford the gov
eminent sufficient revenue to meet its
expenses, as well as afford adequate
protection to American industries. 1t
will also undoubtedly declare for reCi-
procity, which was productive of such
beneficent results to the commercial
and manufacturing interests of this
country.
con these lines [ think the republican
party will march forward to a glorious
victory in the coming campaign"
The Tariff Plank.
Hanna is preparing the tariff plat
form. 1t will contain a strong declara-
ton favoring a restoration of the duty
on sugar. 1t will say that the practica-
hility Of growing sugar beets success
fully in the United States has been
clearly demonstrated and that the eX-
pansion of this industry will materially
aid the farmers and increase the value
of their land. 1t has been suggested
that the sugar schedule should provide
for free sugar with q bounty Of two
cents pound to the growers of the do
nestle product, as was the case in the
law of 1890. Some Of the republican
leaders objected to the bounty provi-
sion, and are urging that the paragraph
relating to sugar shall merely stipulate
for an adequate protection to the Am
erican grower
