JOHN PAUL CosGRAvE.
MCKINLEY AND HOBART.
1t Is Prophesied That They Will Be
Nominated.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 10.-For Presi-
dent-Wllliam Mckinley of Ohio; for
Weep President-Garrett A. Hobart of
New Jersey; platform-"Sound Money"
The ''knowing ones'-and there are
many of them in the Southern Hotel
lobby-predict that this will be the ticket
nominated by the Republican party in the
National Convention. A stanch sup
porter of Mckinley, as well as his intl-
mate friend and political confdant, said to
THE CALL correspondent tonight: EVERY
one of Major McKinley's supporters is
certain that he will be nominated hands
down, on the first ballot, and those who
have opposed him reluctantly confess as
much. He will certainly be selected on an
anti-sixteen to one, in other words,
"Sound Money" platform. Therefore the
interesting question is now, who will be
nominated as his running mate? MY
guess is that it will be Garrett A. Hobart
of New Jersey, whose nomination would
be quite as acceptable to McKinley's sup
porters."
Ordinarily the opinion of one individual
politician is not weighty at a gathering
where wise predictions are as plenty as
blackberrys. The desires of these political
prognosticators often warp their better
Judgment and again they resort to willful
misrepresentation to accomplish their
ends. Not so, however, with The CALLS
informant. He is a man whose strong
Character and sterling worth has made
him close friend of the great Ohioan. If
the name of this gentleman should be
mentioned, coupled with his prediction
that Hobart of New Jersey would not only
be acceptable to the friends of Major Nc

DELEGATES GETTING IN.
Scenes in the Lobbies of ST. Louis
Hotels.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 10.-The tall and
rather distinguished form of coal black
man, his head topped with shining silk
hat, towers above the straw hats, slouched
sombreros and derbys in the spacious lob
bies of the Southern Hotel. His short
hair and closely cropped side whiskers are
as white as snow, and form a striking con-
trast to his Jet black skin. There are more
than 200 pounds of him. He is six feet
three inches in height, and he attracts
added attention because of the showy AL
lison badge which he displays on his vest
in the shape of a miniature reproduction
OF the stars and stripes and photograph
of the head of Senator Allison.
This colored man is Perry Carson of
Washington, D. c., the acknowledged
leader of the colored delegates, about
score of whom have already arrived.
Although 81 years of age, he is as vigoroust
and active as a man of 40. When one con-
verses with him for q while, he easily
understands the reason why Mr.. Carson
stands in politics, on this occasion at least,
as the leader of his race. He has a deep
manly voice, and is urbane and courteous
His experience in politics oates back for
more than thirty-fve years. He is proud
OF telling how he attended, as a spectator,
the convention that nominated Abraham
Lincoln He says, unlike the conventions
of the present day. full of hustle and
activity, it was rather tame and quiet. It
seemed as though the actors in that
memorable drama were unconscious of the
deep significance of that nomination. Mr..
Carson is proud also of the fact that he
was born in Baltimore, Nd, and that his
fathers mother was full blooded Black
hawk Indian of that State. He is also vain
of the fact that he never attended school,
but picked up his education by kind of
inspiration, as he calls it.
Mr.. Carson has held many Offices of
trust and responsibility, having served as
messenger for the Governor before the
territorial form of government was abol-
ished. He afterward held the Office of
superintendent of freplugs for several
years, and was the deputy Marshal who
escorted Murderer Guiteau from jail to the
Courthouse in the prison van when an
overzealous United States soldier shot at
the prisoner. When the bullet tore
through the van Guiteau completely lost
his wits and turned a somersault in the
vehicle, almost breaking his neck.
MIR. Carson claims the honor of having
organized the Republican party of the
District of Columbia, so far as the colored
voters were concerned.
81 never bolted my party, )" he said, "and
have a record that no other representa-
tive negro has in this country. When
was elected a delegate to Minneapolis it
was thought was going to stand by Har-
rison; but before l left Washington 1 said
would support Blaine if he would be a
candidate, and 1 did so. I am for Will
liam B. Allison because he has been fair
man 10 my race. He is all right on the
currency question. The colored men here
are for Allison and Reed and Morton and
Quay, and some are for Mckinley. You
zee, they are mixed up"

BALTIMORE, MD, June 1O.-The at
tempt to commit the Democratic party OF
Maryland to free silver declaration was
defeated this afternoon by vote OF STA
to 291z in the State convention. Senator
German presided as temporary and per-
manent chairman and, while allowing his
opponents some little latitude, easily con-
trolled the delegates.
After disposing of the money question
delegates to the National Democratic Con-
vention and Presidential Electors were
chosen, the slate as prepared by Messrs.
German and Rasln coming out without

men of the country, as Mr.. Hobart is es
sentiaIly business man. Besides he lives
in one of the pivotal States.
"Would Mr.. Hobart's nomination be
acceptable to the Mckinley managers and
supporters ?" he was asked.
'Quite So" said Mr.. Heath.
"t notice that John M. Thurston of
Nebraska is wearing a Mckinley and
Hobart lapel button" suggested THE
CALL correspondent.
"Yes," said Mr.. Heath, "and it is one of
the first issues"
''This, coupled with the fact that Thur
ston is strong Mckinley man, might
naturally be regarded as Significant"
Yes, perhaps So" answered Mr.. Nc
Kinley's friend, with look more express
sive than words which he did not utter.
There is no doubt that the free-silver
men fully realize the platform will be for
'sound money" They only hope now
that the declarations will not be emphat-
ically expressed in favor of a single gold
standard; but whatever may be the plat
form all good Republicans will abide by it.
This Is the sentiment of all with the ex-
ception of a few far Western delegates.
One of the National committeeman said
tonight that he talked with most of the
Western delegates now in the city with a
view of ascertaining their attitude in the
West if a "sound-money" plank was
adopted.
"Only one State will walk out" said he,
'and this will be Colorado. Some of
the Idahoans may bolt, but Sena-
tor Shoup will support the Republican
ticket"
This expression of National Commit
teeman is given, because it fairly reflects
the sentiment of vast majority of the
prominent Republican politicians who are
on the ground. There are one or two radi-
cal silver men, however, who declare they
will never accept the 'sound-money"
platform. Colonel Trumbo of Utah de-
clares that the time has come when the
battle between gold and silver must be
fought to finish" Thomas d. Riordan
OF San Francisco is another one of the
radicals who threatens to bolt if the plat
form IS antagonistic to silver.

Maine comedies that his candidate, Reed,

All this anent the parade tomorrow,
ana for the information Of those, If any
such there be. who would interfere with
the parade by booking the way with car
,iages or wagons.
IL very seldom happens in Richmond
that these churlsh individuals display
themselves. but should they do so to-
morrow, they may as well know now that
they are liable TO instantaneous arrest.
The present arrangements for to-mor-

everybody. The children and veterans
on foot will have a short route; the volun-
teers and thesnounted veterans will have
more distance to cover. The parade In its

The disaster was not sudden one in the

From all accounts. the mine had been
