by the Mckinley managers that as a re-
suit OF the Illinois convention yester-
day Mckinley's nomination was not
only certain but an assured fact, does
not frighten the leadrs Of the opposi-
tion. In view Of that assertion, which
has so far been met by general denials
ex-senator Thomas c. Platt, who IL
chiefly responsible for Governor Nor
toms candidacy. and who Is one OF the
bine, was asked today whether he and
his associates would allow the figures
to stand unchallenged. Mr.. Platt re-
piled:
II am not prepared to make a full
statement at this time, but I am Of
opinion that Mckinley has not cap
tured enough votes to be nominated.
shall have talk with Messrs. Quay
and Clarkson, and then I shall be pre-
pared to be more specific. will say.
however, that Governor Morton Is still
In the race. and to stay We do not
concede everything, and we do not give
up anything"
1t is Mr.. Platt's private opinion that
Mckinley Is $50 votes short Of a major
ity to give him the nomination.

Of eX-President Harrison admit that

that the moral effect Of the action of

to insist on instructions.
