MORTON NOT AN A. p. A.
Levi Tells His Views on the Re-
ligious Question.

st. Louis, Mo-, June.-In order to ascertain
the religious views of the various presidential
candidates the Marquette club of this city
recently sent kilograms of inquiry to each OF
them. To-day the following reply was re-
ceived from Gov. Morton Of New York:
Estate of New York: Executive Chamber,
Albany, N. Y, June 8, 1896: John S. Denver,
Dear Sir: l beg to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your telegram requesting an answer
to the question: In the event of your elec-
ton to the presidency will you in the ad-
ministration of that office make any discrim-
ination against Roman Catholics on account
of their religious belief?"
"Since the date of that telegram have re-
ceived a large number of letters from Roman
Catholic bodies in various cities reiterating
this inquiry. For reply, l beg respectfully
to submit the record of my views on this
question as embodied in my letter of accept
ance of the nomination for the office OF
governor, dated October 10, 1894 then took
occasion to say that under the constitution oil
the United States as weM as the organic law
of this state all citizens are placed on foot
ing of absolute equality. that l fully recog-
nize the provision in the supreme law, not
only because 1t imposes an obligation upon
all members of the state but because am IN
favor of the full and freedom In the worship
of AlmithY God.
II still adhere to the views therein ex-
pressed and can only add that II were
charged with the duty Of administering the
office of president of the United States !
should endeavor to treat all classes OF
persons without discrimination as to their
religious belief"
Very truly yours,
Levi P. Morton.
This is the only reply the club has as yet
received.

NOT DICTATED BY MAO.
Selection of Fairbanks for Chairman
Was "AcceptabIe."

ST. LOUIS, Mo. June Pit has been pos
itively denied that the Mckinley manage
ment has urged the selection Of the Hon.
Charles w. Fairbanks Of Indiana for tenn
porory chairman OF the convention. Marcus A.
Hanna SO stated today He said that Mr..
Fairbanks would be acceptable and that was
all. A good deal of talk in regard to the mat
ter has been caused because of circular
letter which has been sent to every member
of the notional committe. The letter is made
up from a newspaper interview with COL
Richard w. Thompson. delegate at large
from Indiana, In opposition to the selection
Of Mr.. Fairbanks. An open circular was sent
to Mr.. Hanna. When he had read it he
pressed regret that the affair had been carried
to such an extreme.
Il wish 1t distinctly understood said Mr..
Hanna that at no time, nor in any place
have l stated that 1t the wish Of the
Mckinley management that Mr.. Fairbanks
should sI be selected as temporary chairman
The impression that l had forecasted this
selection grow cut of a newspaper dispatch
sent from Indianapolis on the night L passed
through that city. That interview made me
state that l anticipated the selection OF Mr..
Fairbanks as temporary chairman. l did not
so state and said nothing upon thssubject
that could be distored into such statement.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Fairbanks as temporary
/ various sections, of tho. country, partly from
members of the national committee whose
attention to India had been called by Its
financial plank In the platform adopted by
that stats convention some weeks since.
That plank met with SO much approval that
it was believed to be wise tochose chairman
from Indiana and as Mr.. Fairbanks had been
the recognized author Of the financial plank
of the Indiana platform his name cam ma
turaly into the minds of those members Of
the committee and others who read 1t. and
thus erred to suggest Mr.. Fairbanks for the
position. When we were approached upon the
subject we simply said that Mr.. Fairbanks
would be acceptable He has been urged for
the honor by those who thought the speech
of the Indiana platform his namecame ma
largely of the financial question.
Quite number of the members of the
vention stated to-day there was no doupt CT
the selection of Mr.. Fairbanks as temporary
chairman when that order of business. the
selection of temporary officers Of the conven-
ton comes before the committee at tomor-
row afternoon. They contend that the COM
mite In selecting a temporary chairman who
will sound the keynote of the campaign
should pay no attention to local issue
rivalry or personal advantage.

ANTS GET TOGETHER.
Propose to at Least Dictate the
Financial Plank.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12-The move
ments of the men who are opposed to
Mckinley has been very quiet, but
it is understood that since the arrival
of Mr.. Quay to-day there has been
a conference of men representing the
different candidates, those present be-
Henderson for Mr.. Allison and an
Eastern man representing Mr.. Reed.
1t was understood. that the conference
was not with any hope of defeating
the nomination of Mckinley because
Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Manley have already
conceded the nomination of the Ohio
man on the first bollot, but that 1t was
proposed to prepare a platform on the
money question which was to be in
sisted upon at all hazards and to give
it to the Mckinley men as one of the
demands of the opposition. 1t was un-
derstood that the declaration was un-
equiyocally for gold.
In this connection 1t is said the decla-
ration will be so pronounced that 1t
will not be acceptable to the great
middle west which is here solid for Nc
Kinley and may precipitate a fight.
This is one of the many stories that
were in circulation indicating the ar
rival of Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay had
made the opposition more formidable
than was supposed. AS the Mckinley.
men here are for the most part talking
in favor of strong declaration in fa-
vor of gold they say that there cannot
be very much difficulty in adjusting q
financial plank to suit the men who will
vote for the other four candidates.

CINCINNATI. June 12.-Senator and
Mrs. Teller remained here tonight enS
route from Washington to ST. Louis5
They resume their Journey to-morrowS
Senator Teller was interviewed by tho
Enquirer, the free silver organ, as fol.
lows:
What do you thing the Republicans
Will do at st. Louis. SENATOR"
Il think that Mckinley will be tha
nominee on a. gold standard PLATFORM Il
In that event, what will you do2's
Il don't wish to make any statement
further than that which is already on
record. When the Republican stata
convention of Colorado was In session.
L telegraphed them that l did not de-
sire to go to st. Louis, but that If mx
party sent me 1 would not support ac
gold standard candidate for president
on gold standard platform or on al
platform Of doubtful import or in!
other words straddle. Not only did
the convention elect me, but instructed
the other delegates to be governed bX
my action. 1 did not like that becauseI
it is rather embarrassing that other
men should be forced to go as 1 might
do"
Then you will bolt the convention ?'s
Il didn't say anything about thath
but my declaration to the Republicans
of Colorado is on record and you cam
draw whatever conclusions you please
from that"
will any of the other silver senator's
from the West refuse to support a gold
standard mann"
Certainly"
You have no idea that Senator Car
ter, of Montana, chairman of the Re%
publican national committee, will re-
fuse to support the ticket under such
circumstances?
yes. he will and so will Dubois
Mantle and Cannon
do you believe the Democrats viii
go for silver?"
1T looks very strongly that way"
would you support a free silver
Democrat as against a gold Republi-
can 2"
Really. donot wish to be interviews
ed on that point now. l go to st. Louis
as Republican, representing the
Republicans OF my state. The Republic
can party has not as yet put itself on
record as a gold standard party and un-
further than my record before the Coli
orado state convention.
The inevitable conclusion drawn from
the talk with Senator Teller is that he
will bolt If 4 gold standard ticket and
platform Is named.
He was asked further: What figures
will the tariff question cut I'm the CAM
paign?'
Not much. All the tariff In the world
won't help the country without the free
and unlimited coinage of silver II the
Republicans should elect Mckinley on a,
tariff platform the times would not inn
prove and in two years the discontent-
Of the people would wipe the PARTY out
Of existence"

CLEVELAND, o., June 12.-Hon. G. w.
Fairbanks of indianapolis, who is to be
temporary chairman of the st. Louis conven-
tion, spent the day with Gov Mckinley at
Canton and started for st. Louis tonight. He
was seen by the Associated Press cores

he regarded as the probable action of the
convention on the money question.

will declare unequivocally for sound money.

"No. l rather expect to see the ratio
clause stricken out If the convention adopt
the plank. AS it stands now the plank pro-
nounees emphaticaly against the free COIN
age Of silver at ratio of Is to /. My
opinion is that il the convention sees fit to
adopt the plank it will simply obliterate the
words 16 to 1. That will place spuarely a.
gainst the free coinage of silver at any and ev-
cry ratio. Whether the Indiana plank is
adopted or not you can rest assured that the
convention Is going to pronounce in no un-
certain manner on the financial question.

Test Vote May Come on Contests In
Convention.

ST. LOUIS, NO., June 12.-While the ac-
tion of the national committee upon the var
ious contested election cases is not final,
1t places upon the temporary roll OF the con-
vention the various delegations voted on by
the committee. The usual rule Is to have the
contests settled for the permanent organiza-
ton by the committee on credentials which
in turn reports the result OF It's deliberations
to the convention. Owing to the length Of
time which has been taken up In considera-
ton of the contests before the committee.
1t is possible a motion will be made TO ad-
opt the roll made by the committee as the
permanent roll OF the convention. A vote
on this proposition would declare the Nc
Kinley and anti-M Mckinley strength of the
convention. II It Is adopted It will be great
disappointment to the defeated contestants,

New York Delegation VIII Counten-

New York Delegation VIII COunten-
ance No Straddle.
UTICA, N. Y, June FIN the Re
publican committee on platform New
York's delegate will demand that the
money platform shall be an unequi-
vocal statement for gold. BY that not
only shall 1t avoid straddle, but that
its language shall be plain and pointed
for gold with no chance for misconstru-
ing by any individual. In doing this
under instruction by New York's del
egation, we believe that we shall rep
resent not only the interests Of New
York state, but the entire business
and financial world in these United
States.''
Edward Luterbach, delegate at large
to the Republican national convention
at St Louis. made this statement this
afternoon to q representative Of the
Associated Press on the special train
going west. Mr.. Lauterback is to be
the New York state member of the
committee on platform at the conven-
ton and the statement, therefore, is
probably more significant than If COM
ing from any other lips.
New York, repeat, will accept no
uncertain plank" continued Mr.. Lau-
terbach. "By that I mean that we
shall even go to the length Of refusing
to abide by such a plank. We owe 1t
to the immense business interests of
our state.'
What Is your idea Of a proper plank
upon the financial question:"
Mr. Lauterbach took g. pad and pen
Gil and wrote this:
1--WE are entirely opposed to the coin
age Of silver as full legal tender money
and to any change in the existing gold
standard except by international
agreement to which England, France
and Germany must be parties. All
debts and obligations Of the govern
ment shall be payable in gold"
with perhaps even more explicit
language added" Mr.. Lauterbach
said, that expresses my ideas"
A few moments later Mr. John A.
Slecher came through the car and said:
IT have plank prepared by Mr.. VIM.
]. Arkell, which l shall present to the
committee on resolutions. 1t Is con-
else and I believe covers the ground
fully. Here it Is: We declare and
affirm that all the obligations of the
government shall be payable In gold
coin of the present weight and
finances When Mr.. Lauterbach saw
this platform he smiled and said:

WINE AND GOOD DIGESTION.
What They May Accomplish In Min
nesota.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 12.-I have had very en-
tertaining chat with John Gcodnow relative
to member of the national committee from
Minnesota. He says he would be glad to have
the place, but makes no bones III stating that
he is against the Republican machine in the
state, whether he gets 1t or not. He thinks
Tams Bixby will be pulled out and that Geo.
Thompson, Of the Dispatch, Is playing for the
place. Possibly this Is the inwardness of
Thompson's dinner to the delegation in st.
Paul. Bob Evans also expresses himself as
willing to take the place, but says he should
not be surprised if 1t was decided on the spe-
cial train which leaves today bearing the
Pillsbury special ear with the Minnesota dele
cation. He is not losing any rest in worri-
will have settled it before this is printed.
Wine and coed digestion accomplish big re-
suits in politics Sometimes especially If there
is good deal Of wine.
I met Gov. Merriam, IN Hanna's room to-
night, and he claims to- believe that there will
be no straddle in the financial plank About
the chief fight the anti Mckinley forces are
making is to force gold plank into the plat
form in order to drive off free silver Republi-
cans from supporting him at the polls. PIatt
declares sixty Of the New York delegation will
bolt if his eight contested seats are thrown
out by McKinleyites. The committee hearing
contests reached New York tonight, but passed
it over until tomorroW in order to sleep over
Platts threat. AS the politicians get together
and touch elbows or ciink their glasses it is
discovered that there is not such entire in
fatuation for the advance agent of prosper
rs getting hotter all the time.
