MCKINLEY RUSH" TACTICS
A Decisive Vote on the Motion 10 Make Per-
 n,anent the Temporary Roll of Delegates.

St. Louis, Mo-, June 16.-Just as soon as the committee on credentials had organ ized J. c. Cowen of Nebra ska submitted the following resolutions:
 That the roll of delegates and alter mates prepared by the national commit tee for the purpose of the temporary or ganiza tion be and the same is hereby adopted by this committee as the true and correct roll of the delegates and al- ternates of the convention, and that this committee proceed with the hearing of the contests referred to it by the national committee viz: The delegates and al- ternates from the state of Delaware and the delegates and a1ternates from the state Of Texas.
 MT. w. B. Hepburn of Iowa offered the following substitutes:
 That the secretary be instructed to obtain from the national committee all papers and documents filed and before them in the contests for seats in the con- veption and that thereupon this commit tee proceed to dispose of all contests in alpha betical order of states"
 This substitute was lost by vote of 29 nays to 17 ayes, thus showing that the Mckinley members of the committed, who sire to shut out any further hearing of the contests, have won, and that the tenn porary roll of the convention as far as completed will be made permanent and the work of the convention shortened. The committee adjourned until 7:30 D. m. without taking vote on the pending mo- tion.
 Before adjourning however, Messrs. Thompson of Ohio, Hepburn of Iowa and Cohen of Nebraska were appointed committee to formulate rules for any contests that the convention may hear
 Nearly every member responded to the roll call when the committee reassembled at 7:30. Mir. Sutherland of New York moved that representative of the press associations be admitted to the sessions of the committee, and this. was carried unanimously, all other persons not con nected with the committees investiga- tion being required to withdraw. A sub committee reported In favor of giving two hours for the discussion of the Hig- gins-A ddicks Delaware case and an hour and half to the Texas case. This report was antagonized by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, who moved that two hours be given to each side in this contest. but the proposition was defeated by an over whelming majority. and the report of the committee was adopted with one vote in the negative.

body, to Chairman Carter of the republi- can national committee:
 To the Republican Trades Unionists of the
 United States:
 Realizing that in a few short months the union workingmen of this country will be again asked to cast their ballots for president, we, the delegates of the or ganized laborfng people of Cleveland, appeal to republican wageworkers, who have been repeatedly told by their party newspapers and politicians that they must initiate capital and organize if they would enjoy the benefits of a higher tar fir, to demand that Hon. Marcus A. Han na, the principal manager of William Mckinley (and who, it is stated, will be a member of the latter's cabinet in case he is nominated and elected), to explain his attitude relative to labor organiza- tions.
 1. Ask Hon. M. A. Hanna if he did not aid in destroying the seamen's unions of the lower lake regions and then con- tribute to fund to send A. R. Rumsey, his non-union procurer, on a pleasure trip around the world as an acknowledge ment of his services
 g. Ask Major McKinley's bosom friend, Hon. M. A. Hanna, if he has not taken a prominent part in wrecking the mine- workers unions of Pennsylvania.
 5. Ask this tremendous political general who f1eeces his workingmen with one hand and spends money lavishly with the other to purchase 8 presidency, Hon. M. A. Hanna, if he did not destroy the union of his street railway employees and positively refuse to allow them to organ ize.
 4. Ask the prisedentmaker, Hanna, if he did not say to the striking employees of the Globe shipyard that $1.30 per day Is sufficient wages for them (when com- petitors were paying more), but if they would vote for Mckinley he would favor paying $1.50 day.
 5. Ask the unselfish Hanna if he is not at this moment erecting a mansion for his son and employing non-union labor and disregarding the wage rate and eight hour day of the building trades.
 Finally, ask MT. Hanna, before his can didate is given nomination for the high est honor in the land, if destroying work ingmens unions and paying pauper wages for long hours of toll is his inter- pretation of protection to American labor and prosperity and patriotism.

SHOULD HAVE SAID YELLOW
Lodge Says the Wagon May Be Painted Any Color, but It Must Be Red-Money
 Plank.

St. Louis, June 16.-The text of the financial plank of the platform agreed to this morning at the conference held immediately after breakfast by MT. Han- ma, Senator-elect Foraker and Senator Lodge is as follows:
 The republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enact ment of law providing for the resump- ton of specie payments in 1879. Since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are una1terab1y opposed to ev- cry measure calculated to debase our cur rency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coin age of silver except by international agreement, and unless such agreement can be obtained the existing gold stand ard must be preserved. All our silver and be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures to maintain invio- lably the obligations of the United States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard-the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth.'
 As Messrs. Hanna and Lodge separated MT. Hanna smiled and remarked to MT. Lodge: Really, MT. Lodge, you are the most persistent individual with whom I have ever come in contact" and, with touch of sarcasm continued: "Of course, the Mckinley men will be permitted to write the tariff plank, and that will come first''
 Certainty said MT. Lodge, "the tariff plank will come first. I am not at all un- reasonable. I do not care in the least what color you paint this wagon so long as you paint it red.' And thereupon in very good nature the conference con cluded.
 The draft of the plank above quoted was not finally agreed to until almost 10 o'clock this morning, and after its prepa- ra tion it was carefully read and assented to by Messrs. Hanna and Foraker.
 MT. Foraker will be chairman of the committee on resolutions. It was given out early in the fight that MT. Lodge was to be it's chairman provided straightout gold plank was adopted. but having won this fight and the Mckinley men having come gracefully into the gold camp. Sen ator Lodge rested his case, and MT. Fora ker will be chairman.
 strong effort has been made to in- corporate in the tariff plank a clause fa- voring bounty on sugar manufactured from beets, an industry in which the states of Nebraska, Kansas, California and several others are vtally interested.

PLAYING MAYOR
President King Carries Things With High
 Hand at Louisville.

Louisville, June 16.-During the ab- sence in St. Louis yesterday of Mayor Todd as delegate to the republican na- tional convention President King of the board of aldermen forcibly took charge of the mayors office and signed, among other papers, contract for $19,oo0 with the Barber Asphalt Paving company, to which Mayor Todd was opposed. He searched for other papers, of which there are many, but they were locked in the mayors desk. He will have a locksmith force the desk today, but Mayor Todd, it is claimed will also be on hand today, and trouble will likely follow. King Is an American Protective association man, which society animates the general coun- ell. The boards of public works and safe ty are democrats, and as a result of the three-sided warfare the city Is at stand still

He Left the Way Clear for Straight Re-

 The Montgomery Advertiser of yester- day said editorially:
 The triumph of the Vaughan wing of the republican party may put new face on Alabama politics. The Advertisers special from St. Louis on Saturday last stated that the Vaughan committee would meet in this city on the 24th in- stant. That wing of the party was op- posed to fusion with the populites, and it was only after an all night session that they agreed to submit the names of Smith and Grimmett as a contribution to the populite ticket. There was no resolu- tion, however, indorsing the Goodwin ticket even with the republican addition. Even then 1t was understood that their executive committee would have unlim- tied power as to future action. There is very strong probability when that body assemblies on the 24th instant of full fedged republican ticked being placed in the field, headed by a well known leader. It will interfere beyond question with the calcula tions of the combine now fighting the democracy in this state.

TAUBENECK's DISCLAIMER. Says No Meeting of His National Commit

St. Louis, June Notwithstanding the fact that Chairman Taubeneck de- clares that no meeting of the national committee of the populite party has yet been called, members of that body con- tinue to arrive in the city, protesting to be simply spectators" MT Roselle, chairman of the state committee, says there is no foundation for the rumor of a free silver populite conference. Never theless, one of the silver delegates from North Carolina says: There is move ment on foot to unite free silver demo- crats, free silver republicans and free sil- yer populites. The populites and free sil- yer leaders are gathering here, waiting to see what is done by the free silver re- publicans in convention. It is probable that some action looking to the union of the free silver elements will then be taken mn
