ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The work Of the
decorator of the auditorium where the
Republican convention is to be held is
about finished. The portraits of Cen
eral Grant and Admiral Farragut have
been put in place. The great naval
commander will look down upon the
members of the convention from the
gallery railing at the east end Of the
hall. Directly opposite is portrait of
General Phil Sheridan, representing the
army. The still greater leaders, Lincoln
and Grant are on the two sides, the
first almost directly over the speakers
stand, and Grant at the center of the
south gallery, opposite. Higher than
all, just above Lincoln, is Washington.
Each is surrounded by American flags.
The absence of pictures and notices
representing leaders of the Republican
party of today will be noticed. The
omission was intentional, the local COM
mittee having been placed under restrie-
tions in this matter. The decorations
will be all in place before the time set

ton of the country that this is his
home, and that it would be a graceful
thing for che representatives Of the Re
publican party to do.

GOLD PLANK
Congressman Thompson Claims
to- Define the Position of
Mckinley.
He Has Always Opposed the Idea
Expressed by the 16 to |
Cry.
Other Gossip Regarding the Plat
form-Speculation as to Tenn
pOrary Chairman.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Ex-C Congressman
Thompson, manager pro tempore OF the
Mckinley forces, has set at rest what
will be the vital plank in the platform
upon which Mr.. Mckinley expects to
stand
'What will be McKinley's platform
on the financial question:" asked re-
porter of Mr.. Thompson.
''It will be for the single gold stand
ard, pure and simple" he promptly re-
piled. "And to be explicit continued
the Ohioan, ST will add that the finan-
cial platform Of Mr.. Mckinley always
has been the antithesis of what is known
as Is to silverism, and so it will be
through this campaign"
AS the members of the national COM
mittee begin to come in, interest in
creases in the probable selection for
temporary chairman and permanent
officers. The permanent chairman will
not be selected until after Mark Hanna
arrives. The gossip as to temporary
presiding officer points to Senator John
Thurston Of Nebraska. The South
and West, it is argued, must be noticed
in some way. Thurston is the choice of
many of the Southern delegates, and as
he is Westerner, he will therefore
serve as crumb of comfort to both
sections.
Some Platform Opinions.
P. Fl. Lannen, editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune, arrived in company with Ma
tional Committeeman Salisbury of Utah.
Both of them are for free silver; will
advocate plank Of that character for
the platform.
''It would be folly for any one man to
say what the convention will do on the
money question, said Mr.. .Lannen to a
representative of the Associated Press.
'sBut / am confident that it will not de-
clare for a single gold standard. Neither
do think the platform will declare for
free silver. I am not pretending to say
what the convention will or will not do,
but it is my honest opinion that the
money plank will be of character that
the free silver men of the party can
stand on"
Mr.. De Young and Mr.. Salisbury,
who were both present while Mr.. Lam
men was talking, concurred in what he
said.
Powell Clayton Of Arkansas is here
and favors single gold standard plat
form. Speaking of the probability of a
bolt in some Of the states in case of the
adoption Of gold platform, he said:
"And what if they do? It won't af-
feet the success of our ticket in the
least. We can easily do without them,
with New York and New Jersey, and
we've got ciuch on these states, and
Connecticut, too. The Republican
party is for gold, because gold means a
stable currency that carries with it our
commercial integrity to the uttermost
regions of the world" +"
