One of the very few who could enter
Hanna s sacred presence without ask
ing was Gen. Osborne of Boston, whose
wife is the Majors cousin, or some
thing of the sort New England office
seekers won't fail to remember.
One of the deputy sergeant at arms
was Sir Michael A. Meyendortf, who
has curious history. He is the son of
a Polish noble and as boy of IA was
banished to Siberia for taking part in
the Polish rebellion of 1868. He had a
half brother in the Union army during
our civil war who induced President
Lincoln to try to get him released.
Minister Cassius NJ. Clay did the work
at st. Petersburg and young Meyerdorff
was pardoned and sent to America. He
held office under Grant and now halls
from Montana. Very naturally Sir
Michael reyeres the name of Lincoln
whose personal influence opened for
him the doors of Siberian prison.

Disclosures About the Doodle Methods

Southern Delegates by the Wholesale.

The national committee had hot
session that brought out some blister
ing truth Monday over the proposition
of Payne of Wisconsin for new basis
of representation, allowing each state
four delegates at large and one addi-
| tional delegate or each seven thousand
votes or larger fraction thereof,
of the vote cast for the Repub-
lican electoral ticket at the last pre-
ceding election. The idea of course
was to do away with the scandal and
corruption of rotten Borough repre-
sentaton from states in the south that
contribute nothing towards election but
have the same power in sele citing can
didates and often sell it for cash-as

posal was voted down 81 to ) but dur

for the sake of fighting Hanna. AThf
Southern darkies abodt all lined up IL
the same way. and since appear in new
clothes and jcweIry. The fight was in
tense Monday and Tuesday. Mckinley
il alleged to have kept the wire shot
with admontion to Hanna to stand
firmly against it and Hanna in wrath
told l. dye Monday, to go ahead and
run INSTRUMENTATION il he could. "
But Lodge kept it up. every delega.

different states that gave the gold men
a strong majority. Even Indiana and
Illinois abandoned their straddles tc
fall in and finally Hanna surrendered
Tuesday night, under instructions
from Mckinley. The fight was won by
uncompromising courage and Lodge
was the acknowledged hero of t.
When the committee on resolutions
got together it stood "A to 8 for gold,
and the sub committee appointed to
draft the platform was s to |. Lodge
then yielded the chairman ship of the
committee to Foraker.
When the committee met Wednesday
evening to formally decide on the plat
form there was solemn scene. A free
silver substitute for the free coinage
offered by Teller was voted down Al to
10 and he rose and in speech of 30
min ltes announced that, though one
of the founders of the Republican par
ty and leader in its councils foi 30
years, he must now leave it, since it
had fallen under the dampation of
Lombard and Wall street. Cleveland
of Nevada, Dubois of Idaho, Hartann
of Montana, Cannon of Utah and Mott
of North Carolina, who said he had
followed Mckinley in the belief that
he was for free silver, all
followed suit, Lehman OF Col
orado said the gold plank would wipe
out the Republican majority of 4O.G GO 0
in that state. Teller and Dubois were
moved to tears as they declared the
bolt, even while they predicted that o
state west of the Mississippi would
vote for Mckinley.
Lodge and others expressed regret at
the parting, and paid tribute of respect
to the men.

IL struck the New York Delegation Mon
day Afternoon.

There was cyclone meeting Of the
New York delegation Monday. when
''all the fires that have smoldered
in Republican politics in New York
for 10 years burst forth IN a scorching
blaze and heat And the wrath en-
gendered cannot fail to count at the
polls IN November. 1t all began over
an attempt of Warner Miller to dis
p lace Tom Platt as chairman Of the
delegation, nominating Chauncey De
pew for the place. Miller pitched into
Plat savagey, quotingPlatt statement
that Mckinley was incompetent and
unfit for the presidency, and inquired
dramatically if the New York delegates
Endorsed that statement. II they did,
they could make that man their chair
man. He would not consent that the
New York delegation should put any
such stigma on Mr.. Mckinley, and If
it were done. let them go home and
explain how they approved this infa
nous Characterization Still more sen
sational, if anything. were the replies
of Thurow Weed Barnes and John
Raines, who denied, qualifiedly, that
Platt had made such statement and
VINO pictured MIR. Miller as sneak ing
into the convention with knife in
his sleeve and as being faithful in
nothing and faithless in everythi ny.
