Il Will Go Into the Republican
National Platform,
PLANK THAT Has BEEN ACCEPTED.

Overwhelming Majority Of the Delegates
Dcc1nfes In Favor Of No Compromfse ON
the Financial Questisn-Illinois Swings
Into Linz by Vote Of 20 to 8 : ig Row
Among the New York Men. Who Stand
by Platt and Give Miller the marble
Heart"-situation On tho Eve Of the Con-
veation.
81. LoUD, June 16.-Following is the
financial plank which will be presented to
the committee on resolutions OF the ma
tional Republican convention:
"The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. It caused the enact
ment Of the law providing for the resump-
tion Of specie payments in 1879; since
then every dollar has been rs good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit Of our country.

didacy Of Levi P. Morton, has turned over
to William Mckinley. Why, who is the
traitor? Cries of MILLER, Miller."l
What is the issue? Why, it is Miller
against Platt, and that alone. The people
do not want to follow q traitors lead"
Miller sat with trembling lip and Gen.
eral McCook strove to break into the affair
by moving to proceed with the vote. Miller
tried to get him to not withdraw Depew's
name, but he insisted, and named Warner
Miller. THAT'S the issue, that's it: .
traitor against a Republican" shouted
Delegate Aldridge. Then Senator John
Raincs arose and in scathing terms de-
nOunced Miller. He said: "Now the
gentleman has placed himself in the posi-
tiOn he coveted. Shall we choose Repub-
lican or q kicker A chronic kicker from
Herkimer, q man whose place is never
known, who was never faithful to any
man or any partyf That is the ISSUE
Il hurl back in the Herkimer states
mans teeth the statement that Mr.. Platt
has maligned Mr.. MCKINLEY. When cleo
ton time comes and New York Republic
ans cast their votes for president, whether
he be Morton or Mckinley, he will get Mr..
Platt's support and the support OF New
York Republicans, but he can never rely
upon the vacillating and treacherous
statesman from Herkimer, Warner Miller.
His name viii go down to ignominy."
For three hours the Illinois delegation
struggled in discussion over . money
resolution. It contained the words gold
standard" and It was this which caused
the contention The members from south
ern Illinois wanted no mention made of
gold The farmers in that portion Of the
state were suspicuious Of any mention
made q gold They MD they thoughs il
favored Wan street. Their idea was voiced
BY William Penn Nixon. of the Chicago
Inter oosan. Who said the party did NOS
want . VOID about gold In the platform.
r w. Patterson, Of the Chicago Tribune,
replied TO Nixon declaring that TO leave
out the word gold" would be crowardly.
The word was retained-30 to g.

Issue Of the campaign, and should be
given first prominence in the platform a.
the great and fundamental principle Of
the Republican party" Dr.. T. n. lame
son was chosen for national committee
man. General Richard J. Oglesby, three
times governor and twice United States
senator from Illinois, was chosen chair
man; X. w. Patterson member Of the
resolutions committee aud Joseph w.
fffer vice president Of the convention.
The Iowa delegation organized and
made the following selections: Colonel
d. b. Henderson, chairman; A b. Cum
minis, national committee: John II. Gear.
resolutions; w. p. Hepburn, crcticutials;
T. Z hoach, permanent organization; l..
Banks Wilson, vice president of conyen-
zion; II. W. Macomber, rules and order Of
business. Senator Gear said that he did
not care to give his views fully in rcgnrd
TO the money plank. He said ne favured
maintaining the present monetary values.
The Wisconsin delegation met last night
and mado the following appointments:
State chairman, Philetus Sawyer; resolu-
tons, r. NJ. Lafollette; member Of tho
national committee, Hon. Henry c.
Payne. The delegation declared unani-
mously and unequivocally for gold and
Tor silver only by international agreement.
As result Of much teiegraphic negotia-
lions between st. Louis and Albany 1t Is
definitely stated on what Is believed to he
good authority that Governor Morton has
finally yielded to the solicitations Of his
friends and has agreed to accept the vice
presidential nOmination-despite the split
in the New York delegation. He Is now
to be vigorously pressed for the nominal
ton.
Representative Dingley, Of Maine, who
was spoken of does not covet the honor
There is stilla lingering hope among vast
number of the delegates that Speaker
Reed will be nominated by a spontaneous
outburst in the convention, and IL he Is
they do not believe he could decline any
more than Logan could in 1884 or Hen
bricks and Thurman could when they
were placed on the Democratic tickets In
1884 and 1888 respectively.

hard words. Miller wanted Platt deposed
as chairman Of the delegation, and to do
this proposed the name of Chauncy NJ.
Depew, who declined. In the course of q
speech he said: II stand here to repudiats

that Mckinley is unfit for the Office Of
president I cannot stand under such q

world pointing its finger at me and saying

ThurlOw Weed Barnes, then standing
directly in front Of Miller, talked at him
In some OF the most violent language that
has been heard, while the majority of the
delegates applauded. "This man." he

state Of New York as preferring the can

and from there into the convention With =
demand for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. We shall expect to be given orr
due share Of time in the convention and
20 be fully and fairly heard in the presep-
tation Of our cause
I'VE expect to be able to show that our
demands are in accord with the doctrine
and traditions Of the Republican party.
We cannot, of course hope to win. What
We shall do when this is demonstrated the
public will then see. but in whatever we
do we expect to have the cooperation OF
the delegations from Idaho, Colorado.
Montana, Utah and Nevada, and also that
OF other scattering delegates"
The principal controversy. among the
Montana delegates at their meeting was
conducted by Representative Hartman,
who favored bolt, and Judge Streyille.
who contended that such a course would
pc hi-advised. Streville represents a
wool growing constituency, and he con-
TENDS that protection is of greater i'm
Portance to his people than bimctallism.
Anere was very sharp passage between
him and Hartman
Considerable division exists in the Mon
tana and Utah delegations. The Montana
delegation is evenly divided, with Senator
mantle heading the wing favorable to walk
ing out OF the convention and Senator
Carter heading the forces opposed to this
action, there being three delegates ON each
side.
This subject formed the basis of unite a
stormy scene at the meeting of the delega-
ton. Carter advanced the idea that the
silver men could be just as effective by
uttering q strong protest against the
adoption Of a gold plank and still remain
ing in the convention, while Mantle con-
tended that the only course left to the sill.
yer men was to leave the convention in
case 1t should decide upon a course so an
tagonistic to their belief as would be tho
adoption of gold standard declaration,
In Utah there Is majority favorable to
bolt. Senator Brown, who did not stand
with the other senators from the silver
producing states in their actagonism to
the Dingley tariff bill, will not bolt. One
other member Of the delegation may stand
with him, but the other Delegates will
walk out of the convention Is case of the
adoption of q declaration for gold mon o.
metallism.
The latest estimate of the division of the
states on the financial question is given to
the Associated Press from the leaders in
the various movements, and has been sub
mitted to them in tabulated form and an.
proved. The results are as follows: For
gold standard, with the word gold" in
the plank, $50; for free silver, Is; against
free silver, but without mentioning gold,
3O4; doubtful, with Missouri in favor Of
present standard" 1854.

seldom. indeed, is it found possible
for an interested public to read
glowing obituary recorded 10y the
person who is supposed to have
passpd heyund this vale of tears"
and cold feet. When such a thing
does occur, We believe it is called an
autobiography, but in the case in
hand it is more properly home
made obituary.
Some one mas said that ga states
man is a politician who has died. =" SO
too a great journal and journalist
must be an advertising circular and
ppnny-a liner, which and who has
Joined the great majority"
1t was not our purpose to say
another word about our late depart
ed npighbor, but the fine points OF the
accompanying obituary notice, con-
corning the Advertiser, written by its
final editor himself, and clipped from
one of the quartette of papers for
which he writes local misstatements,
is too good to blossom unseen, so
here it is -
The Advertiser, which has been the medium
of disseminating more MorTisville news than
any paper in the State and has been favor
tie with MorIisvle people on that account
has been OBLIGED TO suspend Tor several rea-
sons. For the asst few months Editor MOI
gan has been doing all the work, outside OF
the mechanical himself, and that his work
was appreciated was shown blythe subscrip-
! tiun list Of over 600 names, which is pretty
| good Tor - strictly local paper. The Advertiser
covered iJs fed excellenty during its life, and
| list OF readers was increased when it was
| Obliged to suspend, owing to inability to
make terms with the nearby printers Inc
| people took to" the Advertiser and were
| g,ipved to learn of it's suspension. Editor
Morgan is settling up with his patrons in a
manner which is satisfactory to them oil. 1t
is to be regretted that so good local paper
| could not have made arrangements so that
it would not have been forced to suspend
Notice the modest assertion as to
its former wonderful disseminating"
powers. We can still hear the mourn
full vibration of the choking sOhs
swelling the bosOms ''of over 600, "
of those ghostly "grieved" subscrib,
ers. The obituary writer says "sus-
pended for several reasons" in one
connection and in another lowing to
inability to make TERMS" etc., but
yet again in private conversation
trls the truth-and says he couldn't
make it pay" Thus endeth the read
ing.

As was expected, the railroad
freight auditor was here last week
squared up accounts with Dell San
ders, everything being found correct,
and the otfire turned over to MIR.
Fuller Of Lenoxville, P. G., the new
freight agent, since in charge. Per-
sonal letters from Mr.. Folsom, of the
railroad company, speak in very
high terms of Sanders services here,
and regret that the arrangements
with the security, or guarantee com
pany OF Montreal were such as to
make srch change necessary. He
states that the guarantee company
may possibly be successfully treated
with by citizens of Morrisville. init
mating that in case they should so
succeed, the office would again be

thing else found for him in the course
