The Convention Was Very Noisy and
 Against Free Silver.
 St. Joseph, Mo-, May 12-The battle royal between Chauncey I. Filley and Richard c. Kerens, the respective leaders of opposition factions of the republican party in Missouri, is being fought in the republican state convention now in ses- sion here.
 When the convention met a few min utes after noon Congressman Richard Bartholdt was made temporary chair man. The test of strength is being made on motion to exclude the St. Louis dele gates from places on committees until the contests are settled. Both factions endeavored to pack the convention this forenoon, and any number of rows re- suited.
 At the conclusion of Temporary Chair man Barthcldts address the St. Louis contesting delegation attempted to se- cure control of the convention by filibus- tering methods, but were promptly over ruled by the chairman, who announced that no motions would be entertained. After hot fight the Buchanan delegates, who worked under the direction of the Kerens faction, the Filleyltes triumphed, and his committees were chosen. An ad- journment was taken to D. m. to let the committees report.
 The fight was then transferred to- the credentials committee room, the Kerens faction endeavoring to seat their dele gates in the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth districts. At 9:30 o'cloc2 tonight the fight was still on.
 The platform as agreed upon declares for protection and reciprocity, and in- structs the delegates to vote for McKin- ley.
 Upon the financial question it says: We are firm and emphatic in our de- mand for honest money. We believe that our money should not be inferior to the money of the most enlightened na- tion of the earth. We are unalterably opposed to any scheme that threatens to debase or depreciate our currency. We favor the use of silver as currency but to the extent only and under such regulations that it's parity with the pres ent gold standard can be maintained and in consequence we are opposed to the free, unlimited and independent coin age of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. We recognize the Hon. William McKin- ley as the champion of protection, gall lant soldier, an able statesman and a true and loyal American, and the dele gates elected by this convention are di- rected to cast their votes for William Mckinley for president of the United States.
