SCENES ARE ANIMATING.
Arrival of Marching Clubs and Bands
Made Things Lively.

Arrival of Marching Clubs and Bands
Made Things Lively.
Philadelphia, June 1S.-Crowds are
arriving on every incoming train and
marching clubs and bands are on all
of the principal streets making things
lively in true convention style. The
perfunctOry proceedings of the past
few days have given way to agrees
siveness and hustle and tens of thou
sands of strangers will be in the city
by nightfall. Delegation meetings for
the purpose of selecting members of
convention committees, is the order of
the day. Interest of course centers in
the action of the New York delegation.
Action will be taken by the delegation
as TO Governor Roosevelt, and ii is not
unlikely that he may make some state
ment at the meeting of his position
and desires.
The distribution of tickets for the
convention has been begun by Ser
geant-at-Arms Wiswell. The city of
Philadelphia was given 1000 of the
cards, which will be given only those
persons who subscribed 10 the local
convention fund Each delegate re-
ceived his own and two additional
tickets, and every alternate was given
one seat. The national committee
men were each presented with twenty
five of the much-sought-after paste
boards, while the remainder were dis
tributed among distinguished men in
vited by the national committee.
Senator Hanna arrived In the city
at 9:45 in the morning, having spent
the night with Mr. Griscom at Haver-
ford. He went directly TO the Hotel
Walton and hustled through the crowd
in the corridor as rapidly as he could
to his own apartments on the second
floor. But it took deal of effort both
on his own part and also on the part
| of Colonel Dick, who had met him at
| the door, to get through the crowd
| that thronged about him. Among
those who pressed upon him were new
| ly-arrived delegates who merely want
| ed to shake hands, and many of them
wore badges proclalming themselves as
advocates of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
| The senator looked upon these with a
| good-natured smile upon his broad
| face, but he declined to talk.
The Maine delegation arrived at the
| Walton early in the day, and opened
headquarters on the first floor, neal
| Senator Hanna's rooms. The delega'
ton is for Long, but if Roosevelt con-
sents to allow his name to go before
| the convention the Maine men prob
ably will split their vote between the
New York governor and Cornelius n
Bliss. This was the sentiment OF the
| delegation in the morning.
The Kansas delegation arrived and
| a number of delegates reported that
| the sentiment for vice president was
nearly unanimous for Roosevelt, Dol
| liver being second choice.
The Hamilton club of Chicago, 1O(
strong, arrived and paraded through
the principal streets on the way to
their hotel The club. which displayed
several gorgeous banners, was neatly
attired in black, with silk hats, each
member carrying an umbrella. The
club was accompanied by band com
posed of seventy-five boys, which they
| brought from Chicago.

WILL NOT GIVE UP TAYLOR.
Gov. Mount Refuses to Honor Gov. Beck

Gov. Mount Refuses to Honor Gov. Beck
hams Requisition.
indianapolis, June 14.-Governor
Mount last night issued statement
declining to honor a requisition from
Governor Beckam, of Kentucky, for
the return to that state Of w. S. Tay-
lor, who is under indictment for COM
plicity in an alleged plot which result
ed in the assassination OF Governor
Goebel. The statement was brought
out by the arrival here of officials from
Kentucky with the requisition and
with arguments-which were heard
why it should be honored. Mount pre-
faces his refusal with an argument to
show that a governor has the right to
exercise his discretion in the matter Of
honoring acquisitions and then says:
II deplore the assassination Of the
late William Goebel and would not for
a moment refuse to return Mr.. Tay-
lor or any other man charged with
completely in that crime If / could per-
suade myself that the party so
charged under existing conditions
would be accorded fair trial. do
not believe a fair and impartial trial
can or will at this time be given Mr..
Taylor. When Judge Cantrill, Of the
trial court at Frankfort, declares that
he would not subject a sheep-killing
dog to trial under such circumstances
as exist may not justly refuse to send
Mr.. Taylor back to be subjected to q
trial with this prejudice intensified
and famed into hate.
"When a man who is controlling
spirit in the prosecution. witness IL
this case and prominent in its coun
ellis, uses the monstrous language tina,
when they should get control they
would hang Republicans like pigs to
pole land these anarchistic words
have not to my knowledge, been de
nied), the question of guilt seems OF
little consequence in this conspiracy
against innocent men, the furtheranc'
of which is indicated by Indictment
found by a partisan grand jury. UpoI
such finding is based the requisitioI
papers which | now refuse to honor.
The governor then makes vigorous
criticism of the Goebel election Law
and the proceedings Hereunder o.
which this requisition is one sequel.

BURIED THE RATCHET.
Chairman Aiken and Richard Kerens
shake Hands.


Shake Hands.
Philadelphia, June 1S.-The fight in
the Missouri delegation for national
committeeman from that state wound
ND in a love feast. The climax was
reached when j. A. Akin, the Missouri
state chairman, who led the faction
opposed to Richard G.. Kerens, shook
hands with the latter amid the cheers
of the whole delegation. The recon-
Citation was brought about in a
speech by Charles G. Benton, who
asked the two men TO come together in
the interest of harmony and for the
success of the national ticket in Mis-
souri, in the coming election. Several
other speeches were made and the
delegation avs organized without any
friction whatever. When Committee
man Kerens was unanimously elected
everyone in the room stood up and
cheered ID. ii. H0user was elected
chairman Of the delegation.
There is a hot fight on in the Hi
nois delegation regarding the selection
of a national committeeman. The fac
tions are divided on the lines that sep
arated the party in the recent guber-
material fight in that state. The
anti-Tanner men, who are headed by
Greame Stewart Of Chicago, are in ia
vor of the choice of Mr.. Stewart as
member of the national committee,
and the Tanner faction is fiercely op-
posed to him. The Tanner people
have no man whom they have as yet
placed in opposition to Mr.. Stewart,
but they have decided to oppose the
choice of the latter with all the
strength in their power. There is a
general opinion among the delegates
that John NJ. Smyth of Chicago could
be elected over Mr.. Stewart If he will
take the position, but Mr.. Smyth has
SO far declined TO accept.
Backing Mr.. Stewart are the forces
that were for Reeves and Carter in the
last state convention, and they claim
that as things now stand they have
sufficient votes 10 land Mr.. Stewart on
the national committee. The Tanner
people say that hey can beat Stewart
any time they decide on their man to
beat him with.
A hot fight developed In the caucus
Of the Indiana delegation over the po-
sition of national committeeman. Har-
nv New of indianapolis is claimed by
his friends to have majority OF the
delegation, and to be certain Of cleo
ton, but the friends Of Harry Milligan,
his opponent, say that Ii Is no sure
thing for Mr.. New, and they have been
putting up very hard fight.
