WILL DECLARE FOR GOLD.
Financial Plank of Platform Said to Have
Been Agreed Upon.

st. Louis, June 16.-The text of the
finaE cial plank of the platform was
agreed to this morning at conference
held "a ter breakfast. 1t is as follows:
"The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
nlent OF the law, providing for the resump-
tion of specie payments in 1879; since
then every dollar has been as good as
gold.
ss''We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
renoy or impair the credit of our country.
We are therefore, opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by international
agreement, and until such an agreement
the existing gold standard must be pre-
served. All our silver and paper now in
tanned at parity with gold, and we
favor all measures to maintain inviola-
BILE the obligations of the United States
and all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard Of
| the most enlightened nations OF the
earth"
The Cubans will find hope and comfort
| in the expression of the convention.
| A determined effort will be made to
secure vigorous plank endorsing civil
service reform and incidentally condem n
| ing the administration for it's violation
| OF civil service rules and regulations.
| The contest between the advocates and
opponents of civil service promises to be
warm.
| The proposed ship protection plank
drawn by Senator Lodge first found
expression in the Massachusetts plat
form, since which time it has been in
corporated in the platform of Is different
states conventions. 1t will read as fol-
lows: we pledge ourselves to restore
the early American policy of discrimin-
ating duties Tor the protection of our
shipping in the foreign carrying trade
SO that American ships, the product of
American labor en- ployed in American
shipyards, sailing uAder the Stars and
Stripes and manned by officers and
owned by Americans, may retain the
carrying of American foreign oom-
merce.'
Tho draft of the plank before noted
was not finally agreed to until almost
| O'Clock, this afternoon and after it's pre-
paration it was carefully read and as
sented to by Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. For
aker. Mr.. Forak er will be chairman of
| the committee on resolutions.

NO CONTESTS ON THE FLOOR.

The National Committee Roll of Delegates
Will Be Adopted.
st. Louis, Juno 1.-THE committee on
credentials met in the rooms of the Mass
achusetts headquarters at the Southern
hotel Immediately after the adjournment
Of the convention and organized by
electing j. E. Fort of New Jersey as
chairman, Jacob Triebor OF Arkansas,
secretary; J. M. Gilbert of Arkansas, as
sistant secretary; Edward J. Smith OF
| Colorado, sergeant at arms. j. G. Phelan
of Nebraska submitted the following
resolutions:
That the roll Of delegates and alter
mates submitted by the national COM
| mlttee for the purpose of temporary or
| ganization be and the same is hereby
adopted by this oOm mittee as the true
and correct roll of the delegates and alter
| mates to the convention and this commit
tee proceed with the hearing of the icon
tests referred to it by the national COM
| mitee, viz: The delegates and altornates
from the state of Delaware and the dele
| gates and nlternates from the state of
| Texas. ". P. Hepburn of Iowa offered
the following substitute: That the secre-
| tary be instructed to obtain from the
national committee the contests for
seats in the convention and that there
| upon this committee proceed to dispose of
all contests in the alphabetical order of
| states.
This substitute was lost 80 nays to II
ayes, thus showing that the Mckinley
men OF the convention who desire to shut
| out any further hearing of contests have
| won and the. temporary roll of the con-
vention SO far as completed will DO made
| permanent and the work of the conven-
| ton shortened.
The committee adjourned until 730 in
the evening without taking vote on the
pending motion. Messrs. Thompson of
Ohio and Hepburn of Iowa and Cowen of
Nebraska were appointed committee to
formulate rules for any contests the COM
mittee may hear. Nearly every member
| responded to the roll call when the COM
mlttee reasseInbled &C z 80. Mr.. Suther-
land of New York moveu that the repre-
sentatives Of the press associations be
admitted to the sessions of the committee
which was carried unanin ousiy, all other
persons not connected with the commit
tees investigation being required to
Withdraw. sub committee reported in
favor of giving two hours foe the dis
cussion of the Higgins-A ddicks Delaware
case, and an hour and half to the Texas
case.
This report was antaRonized by Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa who moved that two
hours be given each side in the contests.
The proposition was defeated by an OVER
whelming majority and the report of the
sub committee was adopted with one vote
in the negative.
The resolution to seat the Addicks
delegation was defeated go ayes, 90 nays.
The committee voted on the question of
seating the Higgins delegation, ayes 81 !;
nays II.
The committee then adjourned until
10 tomorrow, when 1t will take up the
Texas contest between the Lily Whites''
and the ''Blaok and Tans." Mr.. Hep
burn will present minority report on
the Addicks case.

MATURING FOTS1UEs.-.
How 1t May Be fastened For Early 1fAr.
ket Supply.

How 1t May Be fastened For Early Mar.
ket Supply.
The conclusions arrived at cy the ex.
pertinent station of Rhode Island after
experiments in fastening the maturity
of potatoes are thus given in bulletin
No. SO:
When early potatoes are grown for
market, those offered in the most ma.
ture condition as to size and quality
bring the best price.
Certain localities, through the prox-
unity of large bodies of water and IA
vorable climatic conditions, are ESPECIAL
ly adapted to the production Of an early
crop.
Maturity may be fastened in three
ways: (a) By planting sets in pots in a
greenhouse and hansplanting to the
open ground; (b) by "sprouting' THAT
is, planting sets thickly in cold frame,
and when ready to "break ground"
transplanting them to the field, and (c)
by ''budding" -that is, subjecting seed
tubers the size of hens eggs from four
to six or more weeks ito the action Of
moderate heat and light so that one OF
two strong buds of a dark color ready to
develop leaves and roots are formed on
each tuber while all other buds remain
practically dormant ~ s-r
Budded seed tubers compared with
dormant seed tubers in SO days from
planting gave an increase Of 81. Sc bush
els of merchantahle potatoes and gain
in total yield Of 1891 bushels per acre.
Budded seed tubers compared with
dormant seed tubers in Ill days from
planting gave an increase Of Al. % BUSH
els Of merchantable potatoes and gain
in total yield of o. So bushels per acre.
The increase in growth in the period
between the first and second diggings
was 80. 70 bushels in the case Of the bud
ded seed tubers and 17.47 bushels per
tubers
For budding, seed tubers one to three
ounces in weight are to be preferred.
They may be 'greened" by exposure to
light, on ground free from vegetation,
directly after digging and placed in
tIdyS dG any CouNouiouo oIAO OI1uS
early winter.
Where large seed tubers are used
sprouting is better method Of hasten
ing maturity than budding, as the tubers
are cut into sets before they are placed
in the cold frame, and more even de.
velopment Of sprouts is secured than is
possible if large tubers are subjected te
the budding process.
The most successful growers of pota-
toes pillow deeply and thoroughly and
fertilize and cultivate well in order thai
the soil may be reservoir Of moisture
and plant food ready to supply quickly
every demand Of the crop.

A PICTURE WITH A TALE.

the Casco Bank Block, and thereby

an ordinary picture Of o sheep or a pic
lure of an ordinary sheep that would call

particular picture is one which would at
tract especial notice anywhere. 1t is a
work OF art and the sheep portrayed is

The painting itself is work of art. It

The Crowds Too Big for The City.

st. Louis, June 16.-More people ar
rived in town yesterday than on any pre-
vious day during the past week.
1t is estimated that from 5000 to 10, 900
people are here. Hotel accommodations
Manager Cunningham of the Planters,
says he has 1900 guests, while the South
ern is accommodating about the same
number. The smaller hotels are also
crowded and the boarding houses are do
ing land office business. AT the big
hotel the guests stand In line waiting
to get a chance to enter the dining rooms
which are crowded from early morning
to late at night.
St. Louis people deny that the crowd
ia too big to handle. But nevertheless
there is none too much room in which to
turn around.

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.
Let Him Jump the Bosses and Run til
Conventions.

Let Him Jump the Bosses and Run the
Conventions.
The laws, policies and presidents Of
the republic should come direct from
the choice of the people; so let the farm
ers, wageworkers and voting wealth
creators of the country not wait for q
hint, wink or cue from political head
quarters, but jump the bosses, run the
conventions, make the platforms and
name the president, not to suit the
cliques and clackers, but with an eye
single to good laws and good govern,
ment for all hands.
With public affairs run on these
primitive lines, there may be no big bar
rels of money or crafty schemers to boost
the campaign, but what's the odds, if
only good principles and Biblical right
eousness prevail? Questions Of this kind,
but without any partisan bias, are free
ly and thoughtfully discussed in the
grange, and if more Of the farmers were
thus organized to cooperate in self edu-
cation on the many questions that affect
their interests, politics would soon grow
into the science Of good government
rather than into mad grab and scramble
for the Offices. and with congress and
a president welded to the wants of the
people rather than to the party we would
have just laws, justly executed, and a
fourfold chance for that kind Of nation
al prosperity which not only means
thrift and capital, but peace and plenty

SCARCE as HENS TEETH
We're the Base Hits in Yesterdays
Game.
PORTLAND NARROWLY ESCAPES
ANOTHER SHUT OUT.

Schmidt and McDougan Both Pitch Good
BalI-Portland Plays Well lin the Field
Lewiston Shut Out by Fall River-Ban-
gor and Augusta Win.
More weak hitting tells the sad tale of
yesterdays Sunday school conflict out
on our base ball grounds.
Such namby pamby, inert, boiled milk
stick work as the people of this town
have been treated to in the last two
games is discouraging and disheartening
in the extreme
1t is death to enthusiasm and regard
for the game. Monday we faced Korwan
and found we had seven hits when he got
through with u.s. Yesterday Doe put in
a fellow named Schmidt who is said to
have had some big league experience and
Schmidt had more fun with us than Kor-
wan did even.
1t appeared to tickle this lad half to
death the way he couldn't be hit, and be
certainly had right to be.
A queer man is this Schmidt. If he
hadn't been fooling us SO like all
possessed, he would have been decidedly
funny. But it was pretty hard to laugh
at his original antics and then see him
make monkeys of the boys on whom our
hopes in a baseball way depend. 1t is a
good deal like laughing when a man
boots you out of his house and you fall
in heap in the yard.
There is humorous aspect to it, but
hat ;, - ~
was with Schmidt's pitching yesterday.
Outside of the batting the work of the
home team was all right. There were
errors of course but day in and day out
they are playing an elegant fielding game.
MoDougalps work was all right too and
he was hit consooutively in only one in
ming, the third.
This time misplay caused the RUIZ.
Murphy and Weihl had both gona out.
Burke hit safely. Schmidt hit an easy
one to Magoon. The latter had plenty of
time to retire his man OF first and on the
other hand Musser should have covered
second.
But neither comb nation was worked.
Magoon held the ball to wait for Musser
to get round and the result the sida
was retired when it should have been.
After that a couple of singles and q
base on balls came in and our chances
were as dead as the hopes of the
Democracy in Vermont.
Our poor little lone run, our orphan
boy, came in the fifth. Woods hit to the
2snce for two bases and Slater batted
him in. -
The only oasis in the desert OF fungo
hitting was the stick work of Woods and
Duncan which was nice.
