ATTITUDE OF THE GOLD STATES.
The attitude OF the gold-standard States in the
Arht for the nomination is of curious interest.
OF the 301 delegates who voted yesterday
AGAINST the adoption of the Populistic platform
offered by the party leaders. 162 declined
to-day 10 record their votes for any Presidential
candidate. The other 141 continued to the end
TO participate actively In the work Of the Con-
yention The l62 delegates who refused to vote
were distributed thus among the States: New
York ~; New-Jersey, IS; Connecticut, 10:
Maine. 4; Vermont. A. Massachusetts, Is; Wis
consn, 10; New-Hampshire. Z; Rhode Island.
g Delaware 2; Maryland. 1. and Minnesota. ..
OF the l41 anti-free-conage delegates who de-
cided 10 vote. from ninety-fve TO a hundred sup
ported Ex-Governor Pattison as non-committal
way of retaining their active membership IN
the Convention. The rest supported one or an
other of the active silver candidates. and on the
nnal ballot at least forty-four votes from gold
standard States were cast for an outand-out
free-coinage nominee. Delaware gave Bryan
one vote in the final struggle. Maryland gave
him votes; Massachusetts,. 6; Minnesota. IL;
Wisconsin. :; South Dakota. y; Vermont 4;
while Massachusetts, and Minnesota cast votes
apiece for Vice-Presdent Stevenson.
The policy pursued by the sound-money dele
cations had much to do with weakening the
moral effect Of their forces against the free-con-
age platform and to raise the suspicion that
their threats Of fractional resistance In case the
revolutionary programme Of the Western and
Southern leaders were fastened upon the party.
were only empty Nominations for local and tenn
porary effect.
COLLAPSE OF THE TELLER BOOM
II In worthy 10 note that after all the prose-
lyting efforts of the free-coinage Senators who
withdrew from the st Louis Convention to force
the nomination Of a silver Republican here. Mr.
Teller, Of Colorado. the leader. offered to the
Democratic silver managers. received but eight
votes all told in to-day's balloting. These were
given 10 him by the Colorado delegates, who,
after paying him an empty compliment on the
first and second ballots. dropped him as
Presidential possibility and transferred their
votes 20 Bland. and then TO Bryan The whole
Teller movement was. of course. an absurdity'
and his candidacy was hopeless from the day
the nrst protests Of the rnossoacks against
any repetition Of the experiment OF 1917 ihaoe
themselves heard
No one is willing to predict tonight what the
populis, Convention which meets in ST. Louis on
July 90 will do in view OF to-day's nomination
for the Presidency. It has been the settled con-
viction Of most Of the leaders here that no candi
date they might name would receive the indorse-
ment Of the Populist National Convention, yet
Mr. Rryan's Democracy Is so deeply tinged with
Populism and his aff1liation with the Populist
party in Nebraska has been so pronounced. that
the Democratic managers already turning
with some hope toward st. Louis. and the gather
ing Of the Populist delegates week after next is
therefore likely 10 assume an added interest and
Importance.
TALK OF ANOTHER CONVENTION.
Talk about calling of a second Democratic
National Convention TO put sound-money
Presidential ticket In the field Is still too vague
to base definite predictions on. 1t Is not likely
that any step toward calling a new Convention
and forming a new National organization VIII
be taken until the sound-mOney delegations
have a chance TO test the party sentiment In
their own States II the movement for Sec
ond ticket is launched. the Illinois sound-money

Convention at Peoria. will probably take the
lead and issue the National call
