gates Mckinley is Not Wanted.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Ex-Senator
Platt continues to maintain that the
nominee of the Republican National
Convention will not be William Nc
Kinley, and tonight he made a state
ment of the grounds of his opinion and
the reason why, in his judgment. an
other candidate would win.
The convention" said Mr.. Platt
will contain 91S delegates. 1t will re-
quire 400 to nominate. According to
the figures printed in the Tribune" this
morning, which are not in all respects
in accord with the facts as I under
stand them, the delegates instructed
for Mckinley number 80. This is $50
votes short of nomination, and only

My opposition to Governor McKin-

SPRINGFIELD (O), May 1O.-John
Rookwalter, who has been mentioned as
a delegate at large from Ohio to the
Chicago Convention, representing the
silver element, said this afternoon in
talking of the probability Of President
Cleveland's nomination, that he is of
the belief that Mr.. Cleveland will re-
ceive the nomination. He thought the
developments in Cuba would reach such
a stage that it would give the President
an opportunity to arouse the patriotism

would be his nomination at the hands

sacred harmony, the chant of absolv-
ing prayers, eloquent eulogy and all
the magnificent ritualistic pomp of the
Catholic church, the ~obsequieS of the
great archbishop of st. Louis were car
ried out yesterday.
A rarer scene, more medieval in
some respects. more unwOrldly in 9th
ers, has not been witnessed since the
cold, clear December morning four
years ago., when, in the same place,
the same man was again the central
figure of a magnificent ceremonial.
Then, indeed, it was a glorious event,
the celebration of half a century's
service as a prelate of the Roman
church. Wednesday the central figure
in that great event was cold in death.
The same vast ]ncour of arch
bishops, bishops and priests that came
then to rejoice and congratulate had
returned to pay their EAST tribute of
respect at his bier.
The one scene was typical of the
fullness of life. 1t was the culmina-
ton CT Peter Richard Kenrick's fame
as a pre!ate. The other was typical
of the spiritual, the unworthy view
that realizes the grandeur of death af-
ter a life well spent.
This man, who made nothing of
friendship during his life. who over
looked the arts that make men great
and pleasing in the public eyes, was
buried by his church with greater
pomp and sincerer eulogy than a
prince of the royal blood.
Rome has often been called the
mother of all the arts. Truly when
one gets back to the older and more
unaccustomed modes of her elaborate
ritual one finds how deeply in touch
she was with all that could inspire and
lplift the soul.
Music, painting, architecture, the
things that appeal to the eye and the
ear, symbolism. the imagination's mas
ter, are the groundwork of her cere-
monial.
1t is no wonder, then, that when peo-
pie are brought face to face with an
elaboration of this ancient ritual they
should feel transported from the work

Without the sanctuary all were
again rows upon rows of priests, fill
ing every bit Of vacant space between
the chancel and the congregation.
Just on the edge of this imposing
circle lay the dead archbishop on his
sombre catafaique. The frail, wasted
body in its gorgeous roles looked like
an ancient saint and gave the final
touch to the weird, ~unworldly scene
There has been nothing like it for
American eyes in many days, and
those who were present will long re-
member the quaint antiphonal chants,
rising from the Threats of 300 priests,
the minor modulations of the organ,
the inspiring strains of solo passages
in medieval hymns like the "Dies
Irae," the solemn ~intonations of the
celebrant and behind ever-rising clouds
of sweet-scented incense an ever
changing scene formed by the black
robed priests, the purple-robed pre-
lates, and the scarlet trappings of the
cardinal and his attendant.
To view this spectacle was gathered
an audience that included the Catholic
population of st. Louis, from the rich
est to the poorest. Not a 1.-THE of
those who craved admission could gain
entrance, and without the church a
mob half reverent, half curious, surged
up against the gates of the C athedral
and were swept back again by the po-
lice. All morning it was a battle be-
tween the police and the people, for
those who came for a last glimpse Of

bishop would not leave until the final
scene was over.
The funeral Grafton vas delivered by
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, who
was formerly coadjutor to the dead

Ollie church. Archbishop Kahn was the
celebrant.
The ceremony of absolution was per-
formed by Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Elder of Cincinnati, Archbishop

Archbishop Ryan was at his best, and
though advancing age has stolen some
of the mellow sweetness from his
tones, he has all the fire and grace of
