DR. Jameson explained; "The fight
ing ground of the campaign will be in
the south and west and Chicago is the
geographical center Of the battlefield.
1T would be a benefit to have the head
quarters in the west and a detriment to
have it in the east. To have the head
quarters of a gold campaign under the
shadow of Wall street would be men
ace to the interests of the party.
Chicago is accessible from all parts of

JUDGE CALDWELL'SNO
VIII Not be a Says Silver
Men Should Unite.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. June IL
Judge Henry C. Caldwell of the United
states circuit court, who is stopping
here, was asked whether he would ac-
cept a nomination for the presidency
from the Populist and the silver con
ventions at ST. Louis.
He replied emphatically that he
would not. He stated that he wanted
to vote for a silver man at the coming
election, but he was afraid he might
have to chose between two. He thought
that if all the friends of silver could be
brought together they could win the
greatest victory for the people, since
the days of Lincoln.

MANLEY SHOOK REED.
Dropped Him So Hard that He Re
fuses to Believe 1t.

Washington, June 1.-THE interview
given by Joseph Manley conceding the
nomination to Mckinley was a surprise
and a shock to Speaker Reed and his
supporters in Washington. The speak
er refused to believe the report when it
was shown to him last night and de-
nounced it as a lie. Today he declines
to speak Of the matter.
Mr. Manley took the step entirely on
his own authority without consulting
Mr.. Reed or any of the Reed contingent
in Washington. A letter was received
at Reeds headquarters written by Mr..
Manley just before he left Augusta for
ST. Louis in which he said he had not
given up hope of Reeds nomination His
last step is embarrassing to the Reed
men.
One Of the Reed managers said:
The speaker could not believe that
Mr. Manley had spoken as quoted until
We received confederation of the inter
view. He has made a mistake. We do
not question his motives at all
probably he was labOring under the
discouragement caused by the adverse
decisions in the Alabama contests
which we expected to gain as the seats
he was discouraged also by the num-
ber of Mckinley shOuters who have arr
rived early on the scene. We know that
no one can regret the interview today
more deeply than EIr Manley does.
There are 100 delegates to the cOnven-
tiOn instructed for Mckinley who do
not want to vote for him. p"

why is This So, Because Gold Has
Been Around Purchasing?

Been Around Purchasing?
ST. Louis. June 11-VearIy all of the
southern negro delegates are for the
gold standard. The southern states
never cast a Republican vote but they
count for q great deal in Republican
conventions. "A prOmir eTI free coinage
Republican from Colorado says that
emissaTies from the eastern states long
ago bought up the southern negro del
a sold standard plank in the platform.
H. L. Johnson, a cOlored delegate from
Georgia expresses the prevailing Opin-
ion among the cOlOred delegates. He
SAYS
This talk about AIcKinley's folks
stampeding the convention is all bOsh-
Reed viii get my vote if il is the only
one cast for him. Mckinley may be
nominated but it win not be on the
people who are going to have some
thing to say on the planks in the plat
form and if Mr.. Mckinley has written
one and sent it here to be adopted, he
viii find that he has made a mistake
7 am for the gold standard. I know my
candidate stands squarely for it. May
be Mr.. Mckinley does, too, but his rec
ord has not been consistent. The fact
is the Mckinley scheme is to straddle.
mo straddle viii be tolerated The
silver element won't have it, and the
gold men certainly viii not take any
thing else except a solid gold plank.
The day has passed for milksOp poll
tics, and the issue of the day-the cur
rency-is so narrowed down that it has
either got to be free and unlimited

St Louis. June 11.-There was con-
siderable interest in the contest be-
fore the national committee from the
Fifth Kentucky district which en-

regular delegates, and the Bradley men
Z. J. Knoebel and J. w Reeder, as the
contestants
Mr.. Hart Vance. who appeared as
counsel for KnOebel and Reeder, con-
tended that the primaries for the Todd
convention were held in retired places
and said it was proven that bribery
and personal assaults had been resOrted
to- He created considerable merriment
in the cOmittee by stating that the
votes cost only so cents each Mr. Vance
said he represented the Republican ma
jority obtained in the election by which
Gov Bradley was chosen; asserted that
if these frauds were endorsed by the
national committee by seating Sapp
and Todd, the action would result in the
Judge Thompson spoke for Todd and
Sapp. He cOntended that the cOnVen-
tiOn could not go behind the returns to
investigate the alleged frauds.
Mr.. Sutherland moved to seat KnOe-

as a substitute that Todd and Sapp
should be given the seats
