Republican Conventions Continue to
Show Their Enmity to
Silver.
GOLD IS STILL THEIR CRY
Mckinley Kindly Allows Reed to Cap
ture the Delegation From
Maine.

TRENTON, N. j., April 1G.--The repub-
licans OF New Jersey met here in con-
vention this afternoon and unanimously
elected the slated candidates, United
States Senator William j. Sewel, Gar
rett A. Hobart, John Kean, Jr, and
State Chairman Franklin Murphy, as
delegates at large TO the st. Louis con-
vention, with Congressman N. G. Lou
denslager, G, B. Breckenridge, Barket
Gummers and Charles A. Reed as alter
mates. The delegates we're not instructed
regarding tho presidential nomination,
but the platform contained strong
recommendation of Garrett A. Hobart
as an available man for tho vicn-prosi-
loncy. Some OF the ffiends of Hobart,
led by Congressman McE,wen, endeavored
to secure the adoption Of a specific in
dorsemont Of Mckinley, but the leaders
regarded euch hRmporing of the dele
gates as i,npolitic, and the proposition
was rolled cut Of order.
What promised TO be a hot fight be-
tween tho fricnda OF Franklin Murphy
and Elias S. Ward, d wealthy railroad
man, rs 10 which OF thom should be del
egate to ST. Louis, WAS avertod at the
last moment by the Withdrawal OF
Wards name. The principal interest in
the platform conferred in tho money
plank, and the convention adopted a
resolution declaring for the gold stand
ard and against the free coinage of silver
The friends of Hobart declare that his
candidacy for the vice presidency will be
vigorously pushed. They recognize
however, that if an eastern man heads
the ticket his chances are weakened, and
it was for this reason some OF his
friends endeavored to secure an indorse
ment Of Mckinley

Two Silver Republicans.

DENVER, April 1C.-The Times says:
"Senator Teller and Representative
Shafroth have decided definitely that
they will not be candidates for election
as delegates to the national republican
convention. They feel that there ia no
hope that the convention will nominate
a candidate or adopt a platform which
thoy can indorse. Both say they cannot
support a gold standard candidate for
the presidency, no matter by what party
nominated, and they would only place
themselves in an embarrassing position
by participating in convention which is
80 certain to take position against eil-
YER as they consider the republican con-
vention will. Teller says he promised
the people of Colorado, in 1894, that he
would not support gold standard man
in the campaign Of 1896, and that he
will not change his position now"

aieature OF the proceedings in the house
yesterday, terminated uneuccessfully
when his amendment to substitute the
name of General Howard for that of
General Franklin was rejected by T. vote
Of 81 to 149. The debate on the subject
was continued until o'clock, and was
at times quite spirited. Both General
Franklin and Governor Smith, of the
Leavenworth home, were elouuently de-
Tended by Groevenor of Ohio, Henderson,
Hull of Iowa, chairman OF the committee
which reported the resolutions, and
others. Hepburn, Kirkpatrick, and
Calderhead spoke against General
Franklin. The resolutions adopted to-
day appoint General Franklin and Steel
Of Indiana to succeed themselves; John

Ohio VS.. Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, April lG.-The Bradley
slate was considerably damaged in the
contests for delegates at large in today 8
convention. A. II. Durham,
who has been pronounced Mckinley
man, was chosen 4 delegate by the sec
ond highest vote received by any candi-
date for these places. The other three
delegates are Bradley men. The gov
crnor secured an Endorsement of his
presidential candidacy in the platform,
but his satisfaction at this triumph can
not be unalloycd, for the instructions
are coupled with a provision that when
his name shall be Withdrawn the vote of
the state shall go to the Ohio champion
of protection. The Mckinley men could
hardly have asked for more. The hot
test fight of the convention occurred
after three delegates had been chosen,
on the question of negro representation
on the delegation at large, but it was
ended in the colortd brothers favor be-
fore the vote was half through.

WAsnINGToN, April lG.--Penelon legia-
stion, to be taken up by this congress,
was the subject of conference by the
republican leaders today in Speaker
Reeds room. There were present the
speaker, Chairman Pickler, OF the COM
mittee on pensions, aud representatives
Dngley, Dalzell, and Payne. Pickler's
general pension bill, reported to the
house by the committee, was discussed
minutely, as the committee on rules de-
sres to become familiar with the terms
of the bill before deciding to give it time
for discussion in the house. 1t was de-
cided that it would be good policy to
take up the pension question and the
bill will be brought forward in the house
and ample time given for debate within
few days. Several changes were sug-
gested in the details of the measure,
however, and these will be submitted to
the pensions committee for approval be-
fore the bill is taken up.

Control

Control.
New York, April 1G-Depoeits of
Northern Pacifi: first mortgage bonds
by the holders who have assented to the
reorganization plan now amount to more
than $S,OO0,O00 This action is regarded
as very favorable to the success of the
plan, since the assent of those holders
and the conversion of their holdings will
materially reduce the charges Of the
new company. 1t was for some time
feared that these holders would decline
to convert their bonds, but would hold
them to get the difference in interest.
An expected call Of large number of
bonds for the sinking fund at ITO, how
ever, is thought to have induced many
holders to accept the plan and take 135
per cent in new prior lien bonds and 3
per cent in cash.
James j, Hill, president Of the Great
Northern, is quoted as saying, with re-
lation to the Groat Northern and North
ern Pacific; The supreme court OF the
United States has declared the consol-
dation of two lines illegal, and there ie
nothing further to look for in that
direction. In fact, we ceased consider
ing the project over three months ago
J. think the Northern Pacific reorganiz
alton plan will succeed. It's promoters
are conservative and have marked the
interest charges down. We are entirely
satisfied to have the Northern Pacific
security holders run the road and pay ill.,
debts, and be charged with the resronsi,
bility OF meeting all proper obligations
rather than have it operated by the off
cers of two or three courts CONSTANT,
contending for jurisdiction.
