Heads Together.
Don't Expect to Name the Can

the Platform.
Hobart Of New Jersey the Fa-
vOrite at Present for Sec
Ond Place.

ST. LOUIS. June 15.-The movements
of the men who are opposed to McKin-
lev have been very quiet, but IT Is un'
derstood that since the arrival Of Mr..
Quay there has been a conference OF
men representing the different II
dates, those present being Platt for Nor.
bon, Quay for himself, Henderson for
Mr.. Allison and an Eastern man repre-.
eenting Mr.. Reed. 1t was understood
chat the conference was not with any
hope of defeating the nomination OF
Mckinley, because Mr.. Quay and Mr.
Manley have already conceded the
nomination of the Ohio man on the first
ballot, but that it was proposed to pre-
pare a platform on the money question
which was to be insisted upon at all
hazards and to give it to the Mckinley
men rs one OF the
Demands of the Opposition.
It was understood that the declaration
was u~nequivocally for gold. In this
connection it is said the declaration
will be so pronounced that it will not
be acceptable to the great middle West,
which is here solid for Mckinley, and
may precipitate a fight. This is one Of
Che many stories that were in circula-
tion indicating the arrival of Mr.. Platt
and Mr.. Quay had made the opposition
more formidable than was supposed.
As the Mckinley men here are for the
nost part talking in favor of a strong
declaration in favor Of gold they say
that there cannot be very much diff
Guilty in adjusting a financial plank to
suit the men who will vote for the
other four.

Sr. LOUIS, June Educational Com

Resolved, That the national commit
tee recommend to the convention that
hereafter the basis of representation
from the various states shall be fixed at
four delegates at large and IL ad.
ditional delegate for each 1000 votes or
majority fraction thereof cast in each
state for the republican electoral ticket
at last preceding election, and that each
territory and the District of Columbia
be entitled TO six delegates,
The scenes through which the ma.
tional committee has passed during the
few days ii has been considering con-
tests will probably influence them to
favorablv consider Mr.. Payne's resolu-
ton.

The New Jersey Man Leads the Race for

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-There is some
difficulty about the selection of a candi.
date for vice president. and it is. by no
means a settled question. Carrot 4.
Hobart of New Jersey and H. Clay
Evans of Tennessee are the most proml-
nent candidates at present. There is a
feeling that Mr.. Evans would make a
stronger u as candidate for governor
Of Tennessee than he would as vice
president. Many people believe that
Evans was elected governor Of Tennes-
see and think that Democrats will vote
for him who would not vote for him as
q candidate for vice president.
The question of giving the second
place to New York has been considered
and Governor Morton, Benjamin f.
Tracy and j. Sloat Fassett have been
mentioned. The general conclusion
seems to be that the vice president must
come from outside of New York and as
the case now stands, Hobart appears to
be in the most advantageous position.

Washington to St. Louis. Senator
Teller was interviewed by The En-.
quirer, the free silver organ. as follows I:
What do you think the Republicans
will do at St. Louis. senator?'
II think that Mckinley will be the
nominee on a gold standard platform"
I'm that event, what will you do"
II don't wish to make any statement
further than that which is already on
record"
Viii IL of the other silver senators
from the West refuse TO support a gold
standard MANI
''Certainly."
"You have no idea that Senator Car.
ter of Montana, chairman Of the Repub.
lican national committee, will refuse to
support the ticket under such circum.
stances"
Eyes. he will and SO will Dubois,
Mantle and Cannon
The inevitable conclusion drawn from
the talk with Senator Teller is that he
will bolt if a gold standard ticket and
platform is named.

ST. LOUIS. June 15.-Whilet the action
Of the national committee upon the
various contested election cases is not
final, il places upon the temporary roll
Of the convention the various delega-
tions voted Oh by the committee. The
usual rule is to have the contests settled
for TIE permanent organization by the
committee on credentials. which in turn
reports tie result of its deliberations to
the convention. Owing to the length
of time which has been taken up in
consideration of the contests before the
committee. it is possible a motion will
be made to adopt the roll as made by
the committee as the permanent roll OF
the convention. A vote on this PROPOSE.
ton would declare the Mckinley and
anti. Mckinley strength of the conven-
ton. If it is adopted it will be a great
disappointment to the defeated cor
~testants, many of whom are hoping for
a reversal of the action Of the committee

it will demoralize the fight which is to

Mr.. Lodge. they say, is to be on the

the fight on the money plank in the
committee, and later, if necessary, on
the floor of the convention. The speak.
er will remain here until Sunday. when
he will leave for New York. He had
no public comment to make on Mr..

Nothing but the selfishness Of the
banking interests Of this country has
prevented the adoption of the postal
savings bank system in connection with
the postoffice department.
The Canadian government has main
tanned postal savings banks ever since
1866. A year or so ago Canada's 5,000,-
900 of people had $25,OOO,OOO Of depos-
its in those banks.
Six years ago the deposits of the peo-
pie in England's postal savings banks
amounted to more than 1925, 900, 900.
We have no later figures at hand.
The peoples party is the only organ
ization which has Endorsed this plan in
national convention. Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker urged its adoption
during his stay in the cabinet, but the
banking influence was too strong for
him.
Nevertheless, the financial welfare Of
the plain, common people, the working
men and working women, demands
that they be given an absolutely safe
place of deposit for their surplus earn
ings.-Nevada Director.

control is not so remote as some i'm
agine'
I'm the opinion of this committee,
the sentiment in favor of government
ownership of railroads is due, not only
to the practices of determinations be-
tween persons and places, but also to
the over-capitalization of railroads, and
the delay under our present system of
adjudicating controversies between the
railroads and their patrons.
Among the objections to govern
ment ownership of railroads are the
cost of them to the government, and
the consequent increase Of the public
debt, and also that it would create a
vast field Of political patronage, and
consequent corruption.
"As to the first objection, the cost
of the railroads, we believe this gov
eminent is amply able to assume that
burden. This government could bor-
row money cheaper than private indi-
viduals or corporations; but very lit
tie money would, perhaps, be needed
the present owners would doubtless be
glad to exchange their stocks and bonds
for those of the United States, whereby
they would be assured of fixed in
come. We fail to see in what respect
the public would be saddled with any
additional burden; the people Of this
country are expected to and are will
ing now to pay rates that will give
fair income on the cost of the railroads,
and that is all they would have to do
under government ownership.
"As to the question Of political pat
ronage and corruption, we believe
that the matter could be guarded by
proper civil service rules and safe
guards whereby this evil could be OBJ
waited; in fact, 1t is generally believed
that under even the present system, the
railroads take quite hand in politics
and political patronage.
eve believe under government own
ership labor troubles on the railroads
would be less frequent, if not cease
entirely, to the great advantage Of the
employees, the railroads and the pub
lic."
