 Occasion. STABBED BY GOLD DAGGER The Vitals of the 6. 0. P. in imminent Danger

 thing Drop.
ULE OR RUIN, THE MCKINLEY MOTTO

St. Louis, June 1.-The most striking event of the day was not in the conven- tion, although the proceedings were trifle more animated than yesterday, but in the rooms of the committee on resolu- tions, where Senator Teller declared that he could no longer remain in the republi- can party after it had been committed to the single gold standard The high per sonal esteem the members of the com mittee entertained for MT. Teller and the heartfelt regret he so plainly showed in being compelled to sever lifelong ties, gave to the scene unusual interest To that extent it was dramatic, but it was more pathetic than anything else, be- cause it was evident Mr. Teller took his course as a matter of conscience and principle and without any other reason. This was fully understood, and it was for this reason his associates exhibited equal marks of friendship and regret. Notwithstanding that this was a family quarrel, in which two factions were ar- rayed against each other, it was charac-. terized by genuine interchange of cour- tesies, which robbed it of all the bitter ness which usually accompany party schism.
 Senator Frank Cannon of Utah, still in the thirties, a republican from boy hood and deeply attached to the princi- pies of the party, exhibited almost equal feeling at the terminating of his politi- cal affiliations. Notwithstanding the radical position assumed by the silver men, it is noticeable that only four-Sen- ators Teller, Dubois and Cannon and MT. Cleveland of Nevada-said that they would leave the party. The other mem bers of the committee, Hartman of Mon tana and Mott of North Carolina, stated that they were still republicans and would stick to the party.

Hanna Will Not Interfere.

St. Louis, June 17.-It is probable that on the first ballot for vice president the twentyfour votes of Virginia will be cast solidly for Gen. James A Walker as a compliment to that distinguished hero of the Confectionery. After that has been done it is claimed the vote will be almost unanimous for Morton. if his name should be placed in nomination. With Morton not candidate, MT. Hobart of New Jer- sey is expected to get about twenty of the twenty-four votes. The Ohio delegat ton has held no caucus on the vice presiden- tial question and none will be held. Each member will be permitted to vote as he pleases. MT. Hanna positively declined to intimate what he would like to see done. It was given out at Ohio head quarters tonight that Hanna considered every pledge kept and every instruction to be received when the delegates would cast their vote for Mckinley for presi- dent of the United States.
 Efforts have been made to secure some intima tion from Hanna as to what his ideas are with respect to the nomination of a running mate, but to all corners MT Hanna is discreetly silent. It is admit ted at the Ohio headquarters that be- tween eighteen and twenty of the vice presidential votes of that state will be cast for Morton. The remainder will probably be divided between Hobart and Evans

St. Louis, June 17-Senator Carter of Montana is no longer one of the five dn- surgent senators. His associates, Teller, Dubois and Cannon, made public their positions before the resolutions commit- tee, and what course Senators Carter and Mantle would pursue has been a matter of general interest. The former this af- ternoon notified the silver men that he could not go with them,, and that if they bolted and left the convention and the republican party they must do so with out him. MT. Mantle has not yet notified his colleagues to the same effect but will probably do so tomorrow.

acters employed on the paper. Ferguson

he was the leader Of a local temperance

would write a personal concerning Fer
guson. Generally il ran like this: Mr.
john Ferguson. the well known make
up Of The Times composing room. ap-
peared for work yesterday evening in

This entertaining hl Field would send
down in a bundle a copy, and the 9TH
ers Of the composing room would sot 1t
up and say nothing.
Poor Ferguson knew that this awful
personal was in their midst, and every
night would go carefully over every gal
ley for the purpose of locating and kill
ing it, II gave him vast trouble. Every
now and then Field woul, not write his
personal about Ferguson, and then the
