tricts: The With. With. IXth. XIlth. KILN
and XVIII. All Of these contests grew out OF the
struggle between the Platt and the anti-Piatt
factions. The following the names of the
claimants for seats In the six districts In Ques'

In all Of the above the two names FIRST
given are those of the regularly accredited dele
gates.
In the With and With districts the contests are
caused by a bolt on the part OF minority of the
delegates to the conventions. In the IXth District
the ant-Platt men. finding. as they asserted. that
they were not receiving lair treatment, LETT the
hall. organized separate convention ana elected
| their own delegates to the convention.
In the XIIth District the contest ~ based on the
charge that delegates OF the convention. although
present in the convention. omitted TO act ana AZ
| lowed their alternates to act for them.
In the XTIIth District the Plat people elected
! temporary chairman but when the roll OF dele
| gates was presented II was found that certain
members claiming election had not been placed
upon It, On the roll as It stood the anti-Platt men
had majority of the delegates. The Platt people.
| finding this TO be the case withdrew from the han
and held a convention Of their own.
! In the XVIII District there were two chairmen
and two sets Of officers. The two charmen stimuli
| taneousy took the platform, each one putting mo-
lions to his own faction and declaring them car
red, each secretary making his own record and
| each faction trying 10 drown out the other with
| cheers yells and catcalls. The result wss the
election Of the two sets OF delegates given In the
| list above . ---
II is also reported that Major Mckinley and HE
friends preferring that there shall be as little
friction and soreness possible In the party, have
suggested that the contestants. where there seems
| 70 be any reasonable ground for contest. receive
! seats in the convention and one-haf vote
| apiece thus dividing the vote with those whose
seats they contest.
Should this plan he carried out II would. Of
course. greatly simplify the work Of the National
| Committee Of the Committee on Credentials ana
| of the convention 1telf The National Committee
has anticipated long and hard work in making up
the temporary roll. and 1t hae also been presumed
that the Committee on Credentials would have
an arduous task in deciding these numerous ana
complicated cases. Should the contests be set.

be small since the question Of the nomination has
already been practically settled.
Should the National Committee conclude TO ~
into the merits Of the in making up the tenn
! porary roll II will appoint subcommittee to each
| OF (which will be assigned certain cases These
| subcommittee will examine the cases and report
| TO the full committee with their accommodating

| each OF these recommendation the full committee
| will act. The question. then whether Mckin-

majority Of that body is an interesting one II -
claimed by McKnley's friends that ~ OF the ol
