WYOMING WILL co FOR M'KINLEY
Republican Convention at Sheridan
May Have Trouble Over Silver.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 13.-It Is no; pcs
sible for the republican state convention tc
meet much before 3 p. m. tomorrow, and a
lively time is expected. Upon two questions
to be acted upon in the convention there is
practically no division of sentiment. Judge
Van De Venter who has been engaged in ar
active canvass for the endorsement OF Wyom'
ing republicans for the place upon the ma
tional committee will be supported without
any contest and Mckinley will be endorsed
for the presidency, probably by acclamation
Upon the silver question, however, every
thing points toward contest with the force
somewhat divided, although the balance ap-
nears to lean toward free silver. Sound
money men are handicapped in their figh:
by the pro-silver declaraticA Of the state
republican platform of 1894 and also by the
active influence of the Wyoming congress
sional delegation.
