Much Oratory in Order When
the Nominations for Presi.
dent Are Made.
a VERY LONG CONVENTION
PROMISED.
Proposed Policy of the Gold Men to
Divide the Field as Much as
Possible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-Poli-
ticians are now figuring that the Chicago
convention will be in session ten days or
two weeks. They believe that the matter
of platform will not take up much time
after the convention gets to work. The
platform, if there is no change in the pro-
gramme of the silver men, viii not be
long, not half so long as that of the ST.
Louis convention. The tariff will be
touched lightly and if there is anything
like a straddle anywhere it will be on this
question. But judging from the present
outlook no candidate for the Presidential
nomination will have as much as 100 votes
to start.
Boies or Bland will lead. It will be a
great day of oratory when the time for
nominations is reached, and there will be
so many candidates that long time will be
consumed in placing them in nomination.
Iowa will present Boies, Missouri will put
forward the name of Silver Dick Bland,
Indiana will present Matthews, Ohio will
say Camp is her favorite, Stevenson
will be put up by delegates from different
States, California will present the name of
Senator White, South Carolina will show
up with the name of Tillman, some of the
silver men will agree to put Teller in
nomination, Kentucky will enthusiastic
caily present Blackburn, Pattison will be
the choice of Pennsylvania, Russell will
be presented by some of the New England
men, Whitney and Carlisle will find
friends, and there are Senator German,
Senator Morgan, Senator Harris, Governor
Altgeld and large mum Der of possibili-
ties. In fact, the field will be an unlim-
tied orc, and it would not be safe to PICK
the favorite and place money on him
against the field.
1t is said that it will be the policy of the
gold standard men to divide the field as
much as possible. They will have three
or four men in nomination and will scat
ter their votes until it is seen that the sill
yer men are beginning to concentrate on
a certain man; then they will go to the
man most likely to receive votes from the
silver delegates. Campbell is said to be
the man selected to make the last race
against the strongest silver candidate.
His popularity among Southern men may
make him a formidable candidate. II
Campbell is not the most available man
there is Stevenson, and last resort may
find Morrison in the race He did not
say in his recent telegram that he did not
want his name pre- sented at Chicago. He
simply asked that nothing be done to
secure the Endorsement of the Illinois con-
vention for him
1t is said here that there is no likelihood
that Campbell will get the full vote of
Ohio. The full f1edged silver men there
like the Governor well enough personally
and as Democrat, but they think his
conversion to silver is only partial. This

PROTECTION THE FIRST ISSUE.
When Prosperity Is Returned the
Money Question Will Soon
Be Sjlved.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 23.-Two
prominent Republicans from the Pacific
Slope are at the Hoffman House. They
are John D. Spreckels, member OF the Re-
publican National Committee, from San
Francisco, and Samuel M. Shortridge of
the same State. Sho-tridee Is one of the
younger men N the Republican party in
the far West ana is an aggressive fighter.
He is candidate for the United States
Senate and many of his friends think he
will succeed Senator Perkins.
I'VE are going to carry California for
the Republican party upon the platform
adopted at st. Louis, y said Shortridge yes
terday. "In our State Convention we de-
cIared for Mckinley and free coinage. We
got Mckinley at st. Louis, but we did not
get free coinage Half loaf is better than
no bread and we are going to take off our
coats to fight for the ticket, and while it
may be a tremendous fight, yet | think
can say confidently that the State will go
Republican.
Protection is the great issue. Califor-
mia is not a silver-produc State. Her
mines are gold mines, but her great indus
try, the one that employs more men than
all others, is agriculture. California is for
free silver, perhaps, first, on account OF
! sympathy with other neighboring States
/ second, she is for free silver because she

~ contend, and I believe that l am
right, that the proper solution of the
money question is through protection.

mills going and open the workshops that
are now closed. After we once have en-
ployment for the time then it is time tc
talk about the dollar they earn. l believe

John d. Spreckels, who defeated NJ H
de Young for the place on the Natlona
| Committee, is also confident that the Re
publican party will carry California. H.
says that protection means more to the
people of California than free coinage
does and that he thinks they will fight il
! out for protection first and then keep or
the battle for an international bimetalllc
| agreement Both he and Mr. Shortridge
think that such an agreement is to be
effected some day.
Senator Squire of Washington came tc
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. The
| Senator is from a free coinage State and
he was thoughtful when asked about the
! situation. He professed wish not to en-
ter into details of the situation, but did
say that he, as a Republican, would sup
port Mckinley and Hobart. He believed
| his State would remain within the Repub.
! lican column.

Mr.. Hanna responded, "Major, am glad
to see YOU" Alighting, Major McKin-
lev took Mrs. Hanna, Mrs Grant and Mrs.
Evans with him in the family carriage
and, drawn by the staid old white horse
they proceeded sedately and securely to
the house. The gentlemen utilized public
conveyances.
Mr.. Evans was his usual frank, enter

suggestion of an interview.

which orig mated in that period. Possibly
the worst of these is what is known as

After lunch Mr. Hanna came out on the
porch with the other visitors and chatted
most affably with the newspaper men who
made that their camping place.
"Anvthing important bring you down
here to-day ?'' was asked Mr. Hanna by
the United Press representative

Republicans and Gold Advocates

Convention.
BIMETALLISM IS DEMANDED
BY ITS ADVOCATES.
But the Sentiment of the Sucker State
Is Not Unanimous in Wisconsin,
Ohio, Indiana and Texas.

PEORIA, ILL, June 23.-These are the
principal pIanks of the platform adopted
this evening by the Democratic State Con-
vention, which met here to-day:
We favor the soundest and safest money
known to man, and experience has shown
that this consists nf both gold and silver, with
equal rights OF coinage and full legal tender
power, we demand the repeal of that Republi-
can and plutocratic legislation which de-
monetized silver and reduced it to the basis
of token money, destroying by half the stock
of real money, and by doubling the work to be
done by gold doubled its purchasing power so
that the farmers and producers had to give
twice as much work to get & dollar they
formerly had, and found it hard to meet their
debts, interest, taxes and fixed charges, which
were not lowered. In this way the market for
those things which the mechanic and laborer
made was destroyed, and the factories had TO
shut down.
But by this taking out OF the commercial
world one half of It's blood, industry and trade
have been paralyzed and idleness and misery
spread over the. civilized world. With richest
natural resources, with q most industrious,
frugal and enterprising population, and with
the most abundant harvests, our people are
in distress. Three per cent of our population
own over half the wealth of this Republic
and almost the only men who prosper are the
bond sharks and the men who fatten of the
misery of their country. These are conditions
under which republican institutions cannot
long endure.
We believe in the greatness and patriotism
of the American people; in their energy, in
dustry and thrift; and that such a people,
with the unlimited resources of our land, are
srong enough to sustain 8 monetary system
without the aid of foreign governments. We
believe the benefits OF the independence which
we Gained hundred years ago--the war for
which was initiated upon & matter of tribute
should not be lost by yielding vassalage, to a
monetary system preferred by other govern
ments.
We believe bimetalliism, which has doue the

There were IN the neighborhood of seven
thousand delegates and visitors in attend
ance when State Chairman Hinrichson
called the State Democratic Convention to
order in the immense Tabernacle, which
was crowded to the doors with visitors,
anxious to witness the successful culmina-
ton of the effort to commit the Demo-
cracy of Illinois to the free silver creed-a
policy which was inaugurated in a special
convention of the party held at Springfield
over year ago for the consideration of
the financial question. The thoroughness
with which the silver legions have swept
the State may be judged from the fact that
less than fifty sound money" delegates
have seats in the convention.
The usual committees were appointed
by the convention at its initial session to-
day, and although the body has not as yet
formally committed itself, it is a foregone
conclusion that free silver resolutions will
be adopted and free silver candidates
selected to the National Convention.

the temporary chairman, spoke as follows {:
