a member of the committee on resolu-
tions.
California-The California delegation
is expected to arrive tomorrow morning

ters at the Southern. So far as can be
ascertained the delegation has not yet
designated their committeeman. Before
leaving their homes they electedd John
D. Spreckels as member of the national
committee to succeed Mr.. de Young, but
there will be an effort to reopen this
matter on account of the decision of the
contests from that state which, being
against Mr.. Spreckels, 1t is claimed gives
Mr.. de Young majority of the delega-
ton.
Kansas-About half the Kansas dele
CATION is here, and the other half will
arrive tomorrow. Kansas will be seated
solid for Mckinley every district hav-
ing instructed for him.
There is only one bimetallist in the
delegation. The Kansas delegation does
not favor a declaration for the gold
standard in terms. for fear of the effect
upon Republicans who favor a larger
use of silver. The delegation will or
ganiZe this morning.
Massachusetts-"For gold and Reed"
is the motto of the Massachusetts dele
cation, and in order that no one may
doubt it, the managers have hung it all
over the walls of the headquarters at the
Southern. 1t has been the motto of the
Massachusetts Republicans for months.
but it was formally adopted at a meet
ing of the delegation today. The matter
of selecting a national committeeman

understood, however, that Senator
Lodge will be the committeeman on res
olutions.

tonight except the four district dele
gates from Cincinnati. who arrive with
the Blaine and Lincoln clubs tomorrow.

to the Southern hotel and cheered the
Mckinley headquarters. 1t is under
stood that Governor Bushnell will be
made chairman.
Pennsylvania-Nearly all the men,
bers of the Pennsylvania delegation ar
rived today. 1t is expected that Cove r
nor Hastings will be chairman of the
delegation, and there is a probability
that Mr.. Quay may be made member
of the committee on resolutions. Mr..
Quay can be national committeeman if
he wants it, but it is understood that he
does not.

is in the air. The Addicks and the Hig-

tonight to select representatives on
committees, but they postponed the mat

F. s. Gibbs of New York city will be
the national committeeman, to succeed
w. A. Sutherland. He has pledged 62
of the 72 votes of the delegation. Mr..
Sutherland will represent the delegation
on the credentials committee, and Ed

resolutions.

an out and out gold plank about in the
language indicated in the interview with
Mr.. Lauterback in these dispatches two
days ago.

cation reached town today bearing BAN
ners gorgeously decorated and inscribed
with notices declaring for a single gold
