REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Plank Referring to Use of Public Honey
for Sectarian Schools Killed.

ST. LOUIS, June 24-It was stated
last night that it was thought the infiu
ence of Archbishop Ireland that plank
proposed by the American Protective
Association was not adopted as part of
the platform of the recent Republican
National Convention in this city.
The word was given out that Colonel
Sellers, President of the National Coun-
Gil of Patriotic Associations of the
United States, was at work to get a
plank into the platform indorsing the
A. P. A. On the very day Colonel Sci
lers sent copy of what he wanted en-
bodied in the platform to Mr.. Foraker,
Chairman of the Committee on Resolu
tions, the following telegram was re-
ceived by Thomas H. Carter, Chairman
Of the Republican National Committee,
from Archbishop Ireland:
ST. PAUL (Minn.), June 18th.
To Hon. Thomas H. Carter Ma
tional Committeeman: The clause in
the proposed platform opposing the use
of public money for sectarian purposes
is unnecessary and uncalled for 1t is
urged by the A. p. A. It's adoption would
be taken as a concession TO them, will
awaken religious animosity in the coun-
try, and do much harm. The Repub-
ican party should not lower itself to
recognize directly or indirectly the A.
P. A. hope the clause, or anything like
it, will not be adopted.
JOHN IRELAND.
Colonel Sellers, in an interview said
that he gave a copy of the platform of
the Patriotic Societies to Foraker, and
also to Senator Gear of Iowa. He was
also told by the latter that the para
graph relating to the appropriation
from the United States Treasury for
sectaa'ian purposes would be incorpor-
ated and that the committee had taken
favorable action upon it. Later in the
day "wednesday he was surprised to
learn from member of the committee
that its action had been reconsidered,
and that there would be nothing in the
platform in that regard.
All this is now explained by the tele-
gram from the Archbishop at st. Paul.
The dispatch was read by Chairman
Carter to Edward Lauterbach of New
York, one of the big four from that
State, and he, with National Committee
man Kerens of this city, went before
the committee and succeeded in knock
ing out all reference to the church.

Committee on Permanent Organization
then presented its report, which was
adopted, naming General A. Warner
Permanent Chairman.
In taking the chair General Warner
made a short speech. He said he be-
lieved that Major Mckinley was honest
in his money theory but he could no
more bring prosperity to the Nation that
way than he could lift himself by his
EoOtstraps.
After the report on credentials had
been adopted without opposition the fol-
lowing ma jority report of the Committee
Oh Resolutions Eas presented:
1--WE, the Democrats of Ohio, in con-
yention assent bled hold that the money
question is the vital and paramount is
sue now before the people of this coun-
try, and that its early and correct set
tlement is necessary to a revival of
business and the return of prosperity !;
therefore,
Resolved, That we are unalterably
opposed to the single gold standard and
demand an immediate return to the
constitutional money, gold and silver,
b.7 the restoration by the Government,
Independently of other nations, of unre
stricted coinage of both gold and silver
as standard money at the ratio of Is to
l, and upon the terms of exact equality
existing prior to 1873, such coin to be
full legal tender equally with gold coin
fer all debts and dues, public and pri-
vate.
Resolved, That the delegates at large
chosen by this convention and the dele
gates to the National Convention from
the several Congressional Districts
shall be and are hereby instructed to
use all honorable means to secure the
adoption of the principles contained in
the foregoing resolution by the Demo-
cratic National Convention to be held on
July 7th, and vote for candidates for
President and Vice-President who are
known to be in full accord Herewith,
and to accomplish these ends to cast
the votes from the State of Ohio as a
unit as the majority may determine
The gold men moved to strike out the
unit rule instructions, but were voted
down by vive vOce vote amid much
disorder.
j. G.. Patterson of Dayton presented
a minority report covering the Monroe
doctrine election of Senators by the
people, the Cuban question, tariff re-
form, personal liberty and all the usual
declarations of the Democratic Con-
ventions, including reaffirmation of the
national platform of 1892. No refer
ence to the financial question was made
Patterson said it was left out in the in
terest of harmony. The minority report
was signed by four members, the major
ity report by sixteen members. The mi
nority report was decisively defeated
The motion to strike out the unit rule
was also promptly defeated. The gold
men demanded a call of counties on the
adoption of the majority report, and the
vote resulted: Yeas 742, nays Us.
After selecting the delegates and
State ticket named above the conven-
ton at p. m, adjourned sine die.

Realizing that he was helpless, Cor-
bett called upon Captain Whitman, VINO
stepped in and thrust Sharkey 10 ms
corner. The sailor was still full OF hght,
however, and he struggled with MS
three seconds and three policemen VINO
tried to force him into a chair. Corbett
stood meekly in the center OF the ring
and wagged his jaw at the referee. A
number of officers rushed into the ring,
and the audience howled in derlslon.
Corbett sat down in his corner and at
tempted to smile, while Delaney and
Green revived him. There he remained
for fully twenty minutes, and many
were cruel enough to say that he was
too fatigued to retire to his quarters
Meanwhile Sharkey ran over and
grasped Joe Choynski by the hand.
His right eye was badly swollen, but he
was game and still had several rounds
of fight left in him.
After the usual handshaking the
sailor ran nimbly down the steps and
went to his dreSsing-rOom amid tre-
mendouS cheering.
The champion sat humbly in his cor
ner explaining to the newspaper men
Just how it happened. He protested
that it was a wrestling match, but few
believed him. After an announcement
that the fight was declared a draw, the
10000 spectators left the building sur
rrised at the outcome.
Later in the night COrbett recovered
his conversational powers and explained
his miserable showing to his friends as
best he could.
ShIarkey had little to say. Il fought
from the call of time" was his reply to
a question, land if Corbett had not hung
on my neck all the time the result might
have been different
The first bout of the evening was six
rounds between Charley Rochette and
Jack Howard of San Francisco, light
weights, and was called at 500 and
given to Rochette at the end of the
fifth round by Referee Choynski, Ro-
chette having been the aggressor from
the start, hitting his man almost at will.
"Australian" Billy Smith and Jack
Davis of Omaha, heavyweights, were
the next to don the gloves. 1t was an
nounced as an eight-round contest.
Davis assumed the aggressive as soon
as the men had advanced to the center
and landed several times ON his oppo-
nent's face, one of his blows drawing
blood. The work was light during the
rest of the round. Davis at once went
to work when the gong sounded for the
second round. He rushed Smith to the
ropes.
The Australian then woke up and re-
turned blow for blow, forcing the Oma-
ha man across the ring, both going
down through the ropes. When both
had regained their feet some vicious
work followed. Smith sent Davis down
on his back with a left-handed swing.
Davis arose after three seconds and
then fell over on his knees. With one
great effort he finally stood up only to
receive another blow that sent him
across the ring against one of the pad
ded posts, just about knocked out, and
Referee Choyinski gave Smith the de-
ClSiOn.

it was a desperate race for the lead be-
tween Cornell and Harvard, with Penn
sylvania rapidly closing the gap. AT
the half-mile the Harvard boats nose

The convention was called to order
by Chairman Smalley at 1870 this
morning. w. A. Taylor was introduced
as Temporary Chairman. In the course
of his address he said:
The danger which threatens this
country is not her rich mines of gold
and silver but that grasping financial
policy which has made England the
home of landlords ard tenants and
hich, being surreptitiously ingrafted
upon our own laws by the Sherman Act
of 1878, has made it possible to turn the
United States Treasury into a broker
shop and enrich foreign syndicate
with unpatriotic American connections,
by compelling the issue of the bonds of
the people to keep intact a stock of gold,
which it turns to its own sinister ac-
count at pleasure. You have no war to
make on capital. You will make no war
upon it. You intend to respect it's
rights. and you intend that it shall re-
spect your rights. If you did more or
did less than these things you would be
unworthy the title of an American"
At the end of Colonel Taylor's speech
the report of the Committee on Rules
was called for, and the overwhelming
vote by which the report was adopted
showed that any opposition from the
gold delegates would be futile The
