and administration. and know of no cause that
would be likely to induce in any degree TO
change ny present affiliations locally. 1t Is EVIL
dent that a hot fight is about to take place in the
Republican party Of the State for control of the
State Convention which meets in September.
While this is to be regretted. from some points Of
view ii is sure TO result in increasing the aggrts-
siveness and carrestness of the National ana
State campaigns after the nominations have been
made for state officers, as the fight VII! not be
so acrimonious as 10 cause "A party split"
In his talk. the Commissioners said that Morton
could not possibly have been elected or nomi-
mated for ce-President. lie did not believe
thai Plat had had any influence In the selection
OF the gold plank, but said that the vote for the
gold plank would have been just as strong II Mr..
Plat had not declared himself in favor Of it.
Like many other delegates 10 the National Con-
vention who were parboiled and roasted in the
unhealthy atmosphere IN st Louis last week,
Walter Il. Atierbury. the Original Brooklyn Nc
Einley delegate. breathed a sigh Of relief on Sat
urday night when he returned to Brooklyn. Like
others, too. he was thoroughly fatigued. But
yesterday Mr.. Attcrbury was once more In the
condition to enjoy life and talk politics.

from any part Of the country. So far the
ticket IS concerned completely satisfied
No better choice then Major Mckinley could have
been made, and nothing that any anti-McKinley
leader can say IL going 10 injure him. Mr.. Nc
klnley Is essentially man II the people. They
love him and trust in his ability to lead the party
to a high degree Of prosperity. The gold plank,
OF which 50 much has been said regarding the
manner OF It's insertion. wac put there by Mr. VI

authority OF one who knows what he Is talking
about"
"Supposing that Morton had said he would
stand for the Nicc-Prcsldency?"
Mr.. Morton could not have secured the noml-
nation, notwithstanding the tremendous cffor,
on the part of HIS friends 70 have him nom-
mated. even If he had allowed his name to go
tefore the Convention. There was at NJ time
a sufficient number OF votes attaipahle. His ad-
