gates and visitors drop in out of
curiosity and almost everybody seems
to be collector of badges. They accept
the proffered buttons and badges to
take home to wife and children and not
because there is any interest in the
candidate. In this respect matters are
very monotonous. When it comes to
putting gold" in the platform, and the
presidency, there is little more
interest. / have the best authority for
saying that Hanna, and that means Nc
Kinley does not want the word gold
to appear in the platform. He is really
between the devil and the deep sea, and
there is sure to be a fight of some kind
on the platform in open convention.
Sound money" Is what the Hanna
crowd want to declare for, but If the
committee on platform should report
those words and omit "gold" Henry
Cabot Lodge will submit minority re-
port insisting on gold" while Senator
Teller will come in with still another re-
port, favorable to silver. Beyond ques-
tion the Hanna push can make it
Sound money" instead Of "gold'' if the
latter is Objectionable to the boss. It
it is only question Of the safest policy
If Hanna concludes that it Is safer to
exclude gold than to put it in, gold
will be excluded, and If otherwise,
otherwise, consequently do not think
it worth while to waste space or tele-
graph toPs in figuring what the plat
form will declare, because if I should

down Of the gauntlet Of the anti-organ-
ization Republicans who are numbered
among the friends of Mckinley. The
result has proved interesting because
in the bitterness of the battle which has
been going on in that state delega-
ton, 1t was apprehended that, perhaps,
if Mckinley was the choice of the con-
vention, he would suffer at the polls,
but tonight while the dramatic scenes
are discussed with interest, the McKin-
ley people point to the open pledges
made by Mr.. Platts adherents that Mr.
Mckinley or any other candidate will
receive the vote of New York.
AS result of the meeting it is found
that II Of the 70 New York delegates
will cast their votes, not for the state
conventions choice, but for Mckinley.
1t is believed that the vote is sur
prising even to Mr. Platt. This leaves
Just SIS votes for Mr.. Morton and it is
believed this will be his entire strength
in the convention.
But the main topic of conversation
tonight is the breach that undoubt-

observant locker-on this afternoon
it was appraent that Mr.. Piatt had
laid a
TRAP FOR MILLER
into which he was tumbled by his own
friends who sought to pit him against
Platt. The result was that Platts
friends. who stood for their chief,
dashed and buffeted Mr.. Miller; Mr.
Miller denounced Mr.. Platt; Mr.. Depew
simply told Mr.. Miller that he had mis-
taken him Oepew's) attitude and Mil
ler told Depew as politely as he could
that he was a prevaricator and had
purposely misled him.
The trouble began as soon as the
delegation met this morning, 1t had
been arranged that Depew was to pre-
side at the caucus and that Piatt was
to be made chairman. Mr.. Miller ex-
ploded his boom at once by nominating
Depew for chairman. Before action
was taken the caucus adjourned till
afternoon. When the New York men
reassembled Mr. Depew withdrew his
name saying his position had been mis-
understood.

day, Hanna may change his mind be-
fore my message reached st. Paul, and
in that case, the platform would change.
From what I can learn, believe he is
a good deal worried on the subject. The
eastern men are vociferous for gold
and Minnesota is quite conspicuous in
the west on the same platform, while
such old politicians as Richard Thomp-
son, of Indiana, who with all due re-
spect to the Minnesota delegation,
knows more of practical politics in
minute than our whole delegation dc
in year, says that If gold is inserted
in the platform, Mckinley will be de-
feated. So the opinions see-saw and
Hanna scratches his head and thinks
When he decides the country will know
what kind of a platform Mckinley is
to stand upon. 1t is quite sure that the
effort will be made to make protection
exceedingly prominent in any event.
Pettigrew is making trouble in the
South Dakota delegation. When he
was selected as delegate it was thought
he was tied hand and foot but he seems
to have gotten at least one hand loose
and is threatening to make trouble If
silver is not recognized. Teller, Dubois
and Mantle are talking in the same
way but they might as well leave the
convention before they go in, for silver
Will not be recognized In the sense tney
mean. The most they can possibly hope
for is to keep the word gold out of
the platform and have it read sound
money! leaving them to claim that sill
yer is sound money as well as gold.
That is what Mckinley wants and
what Hanna will do if he dares.
The giving out officially that Joe
Manley of Maine is to be secretary
of the convention campaign committee
simply confirms what I previously
wired, that he went over to the Nc
Kinley camp for price, when he gave
that celebrated interview announcing
the hopelessness Of Reeds cause.
There seems to be more trouble for
the colored troops. 1t was discovered
today that the street fakirs were selling
Mckinley badges which the Ohio crowd
had prepared to give out gratuitously,
and investigation showed that colored
man In charge of one of the Ohio rooms
had stolen thousand Mckinley badg-
es and put them on the market. 1t
seems to me that he ought to have been
given some high official position for his
zeal in circulating the glad tidings,
but instead Of that, he was discharged
in disgrace. I'm not sure that he will

midnight Congressman j. F. Aldrich,
of Chicago, said: THE Reed men are
greatly encouraged by the days de-

We have telegraphed for a lot of Reed
supporters who had intended to stay at

Mr.. Littlefeld, the chairman of the

circulated that Mr.. Manley will not be
reelected to the national committee.
