MnssacluSetts Cold Canvass.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The Massachu-
sets delegates met tonight to listen
to the result of canvass made under
their direction, in relation to the adcp-
ton of gold plank in the platform.
The meeting was enthusiastic and fire.
quent bursts of applause were audible
through the closed doors as the trend
OF she canvass was announced.
The Massachusetts, people claim that
their canvass has been very thorough
and complete and they declare in the
most positive manner that a gold plank
will be inserted in the platform.
1--WE have not entirely completed our
count" said Senator Lodge at II 80 to-
night, "and / am not able to quote fig
ures with accuracy. 1 have no hesita-
ton whatever in saying that We will
have gold plank in the platform. Our
canvass shows that we will get it in
the report of the committee on resolu-
tons and if by any chance we should
miss there, / know we will get it from
the convention"
E. S. Draper chairman of the MaSsa-
chusetts delegation, made a statement
similar to that of Mr.. Lodge.
Although neither Senator Lodge nor
Mr.. Draper would give out any figures
lit was learned that the canvass as far
as complete at 1870 showed very close
to 524 delegates in favor of a gold
plank with some of the strong gold
delegations yet to be counted

throw IL to Reed. was not deep rooted
and the lack of enthusiasm seemed
to rather dampen the ardor of the
ceiored men who expected a, royal re-
ception. AS fully analysed this morn
ing and the analyzafion presented to
several leaders for approval, the result
may be summed uD about at follows:
The names of Morton, Allison, Quay
and Reed will be presented to the cln-
vention for vote for no other reason
than to prove the delegates loyalty.
The battle this morning is purely upon
finance grounds. ManleyAs delegation
visited Piatt's rooms early this morn
ing and declared for a gold standard
with the word gold in the plank. This
makes thirteen states that have prom
ised to stand by Plaft, New York in
Guided. AS yet Ohio has not signified
its willingness through Hanna to ac-
cept his, and SO sure is the latter of
the control Of the convention, that he
believes he can either allow the east
erners to fix the plank or else use his
own judgment and strike it out.
The plan at present is to have an
adjournment of the convention after
the nomination of president is accom-
plished to- allow the concentration of
votes upon some of the many eandi-
dates for vice-president Hanna, Platt
and Manley this morning all denied
that they had any conference with each
other looking toward a withdrawal of
the candidates. Hanna said: Il see
no need of such a conference" Platt
said: Morton will not be withdrawn.
4 nave no reason to consult upon such
subject" Manley said: Reed has
gained some strength and is in the
race until the nomination is made'

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The Oregon del

The Oregon delegation adopted the
following resolution and will submit it
to the national committee on resolu-
tons:
The Republican party has always
been an advocate of honest money; it
points with pride to its financial re-
cord during the greenback movement
1t was opposed to greenback imitation
then; it is opposed to silver initiation
now. 1t believes every dollar issued by
the government should have the same
purchasing power as every other dol
lar. We are, therefore, in favor of the
maintenance of the present gold stand
ard and except through international
agreement, we are opposed to the free
or unlimited coinage of silver

COLORED DELEGATES.
THEY FIGHT SHY OF THE WHITE
METAL.
Only Six Among the Delegates Who
Are in Favor of the Free Coinage
of Silver.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE colored
delegates to the convention at a mass
meeting today, attended by more than
two-tE1irds of their number. declared
for the gold standard, with but six
dissenting votes.
This action was the chief incident of
the formation of an organization of
colored Republicans for the purpose of
cooperating in securing recognition of
their race from the convention Mr..
Thomas Fortune of New York, Colo
mel Perry Carson and w. Calvin Chase
of the District of Columbia were lead
er5 in the movement and letters of
endorsement were received from Con-
gresham Murray and ex-Congressman
Lapgston.
DR.. S. E. Courtney of Boston was
elected chairman, and Rev. W. H
Nixon of Alabama, secretary of the
organization.
Rev. Nixon inspired a tremendous
oufburst of applause by the paroration
of a glowing prophecy of the future of
the Afro-Americans: that the negroes
hope rested upon religions, education,
politics and money"
resolution was then presented, en-
dorsing the financial plank which is
being pushed by the Massachusetts
delegation, which was adopted by
about seventy ayes and only six nays
on a rising vote. Several outeroppings
of presidential preference disturbed
the meeting in the course of the finan-
cial speeches, but there was general
harmony.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-06-16

the silveg7nen could be just as effective
by uttering strong protest against
the adoption of the gold plank, and SUE

Senator Mantel commended it was the
only course left to the SILVER men, IN
case the convention should decide upon
a course antagonistic to their belief-as

to preserve harmony in the party in the

During the evening an Informal con-
ference OF some of the leaders Of the
silver forces held in the rooms of the
Colorado delegation, at which Senators
Feiler on Colorado, Mantel of Montana,
DUBOIS OF Idaho and Cannon of Utah,
Representatives Towne of Minnesota,
ana Hartman of Montana and MeSSrs.
lennon of California, Mott of North
Carolina. Taylor of Tennessee, were.
among others present. They went
over the situation, discussing the prob
aolhGeS in the convention and giving
some attention to the form of the free
coinage resolution to be presented,
majority OF those present being mem
berS from their respective states of
the Platform committee. They were
LED TO believe from the reports made
from other than the silver producing
states, that an Independent movement
would be very strong. Mr.. Towne ex-
pressed the opinion that silver would
carry Minnesota by a large majority.
The principal controversy among the
Montana delegates at their meeting
was conducted by Congressman Hart
man, who favored a bolt, and Judge
Streyiiie, who commended that such a
course would be i'll advised. Mr. Sire
vile represents a woolgrowing con-
stituency and he contends that pro-
lection is of greater Importance to his
people than binstallism. There was a
very sharp passage between him and
Hartman. Senator Carter announced
his hearty concurrence in the plans of
the silver men except, as he said, he
thought nothing could be gained by
leaving the convention hall. He was
willing to join them in all other acts
proposed in the interest of.-the white
metal.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-Thomasi C.

and alone walked up the fight of

He was met at the end by Joseph B.

rect to the rooms occupied by Matthew

company with Senator Lodge of Mas

down to confer behind closed doors.
When the conference was over, all de-
clined TO state why it was held but it
was learned that bo1h the gold plank
matter and the vice presidential mat
ter was talked over. 1t is understood
that the project of throwing the vice-
presidential nomination to Morton de
spite his wishes, was preached. Mr..
Foraker went directly 10 Mr.. Hanna's
room when he came out, and was clos
etedl there at late hour.
X is further understood that Mr.
Foraker presented for consideration a
financial plank. which reads about as
follows:

QUESTION At

Continued fom Page u

feat of F'flley for the post of national
committeeman ait today meet of the
Missouri delegation.
The bitter fight which has been wag-
ed between the factions of Missouri
Republicans, led by r. c. Kerens and
Chauncey l. F'illey, eliminated at ST.
Joseph, Mo-, May II. when F'flley swept
everything before him in the state con-
vention. Since them the KeTens wing
has worked upon the district d,alegn-
tons and today, on a, secret ballot,
Filley was defeated. His defeat result
ed in his followers making desperate
assertions and q shower of Mckinley
buttons Uttered the streets, when the
thousand or more members of the
Merchants League club heard of the
vanquishing of their favorite. Since
the meeting of the Missouri delegation
al sorts of l-unnors have been af1oat,
but investigation fails to confirm
them. It has been developed, how
ever, that tremendous pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on the old man."
as he is called, to desert the Mckinley
banner. Mr.. Filley, when seen tonight.
refused to discuss the matter, saying
in his characteristic way: "I have
nothing 10 say"
The Merchants League club paraded
the streets tonight, cheering loudly for
Reed. This is a strictly Filley organ
izaion, and it's members may have
had something more than a. bitter feel
ing to urge them ON.
