HILL FROM KANSAS.
Effort to Secure a Proxy From Sun
flower State Fail.
Especial to the State Journal.1

Especial to the State Journal
Kansas City, July When Hill
was turned down by New York, de-
feated for a place on the committee on
resolutions, some of his enthusiastic
friends suggested that he secure a
proxy from Kansas friendly state
and sit in the committee meeting, in
defiance of the action of his own dele
cation.
Overmyer IS the Kansas member.
Had Hill been given the Kansas proxy
Overmyer would have been kept out.
Few are the people in Kansas who
do not know Over'myer and every one
of them knows that Overmyer would
suffer himself to be drawn and quar-
tered, but under no circumstances
would he give up the place on the plat
form committee. SO the Hill scheme
bore no fruit. It's death in Kansas
was its knell in other states, so the vet
eran Hill sat in the convention while
the resolutions were prepared by others.

agreed upon last night. While there

several of the members manifested a
disposition to make changes in phrase

ing the various subjects to be embodied
in the declaration of principles. The
members who had led the fight against
10 TO L declaration requested an ex-
plicit declaration on planks of
superior Importance attaching to
other than the financial issue,
and the silver men decided to
make this ISSUE In accordance
rank was given to the subject of i'm
perialisn and to questions growing out
OF the Spanish war. These subjects,
including Imperialism, militariSm, Cuba
the Philippines and Porto Rico occupy
fully half of the declaration, beginning
with an assertion of their paramount
and supreme Importance AND declaring
that while other issues are vital, the
question of Imperialism strikes at the
existence of the republic"
A change was also decided upon in
the declaration regarding the Chicago
platform and the coinage of silver
This declaration is placed we'll down in
the body of the platform, and the lam
guage is changed considerably. The in
troductory phrase of this declaration as
originally presented was changed by
striking out. the words. I'VE reaffirm
the Chicago platform in whole and in
part and in letter and in spirit and it
is made to read as follows: I'VE re-
affirm and endorse the principles of the
platform adopted by the Democracy

free coinage of the precious metals,

A j. WARNER OPPOSES.
Says Putting 10 to Plank in Plat
form Is q Mistake.

Kansas City, 40, July General A
j. Warner of Ohio. one of the founders
of the bimetallic league, is vigorously
opposed to the action of the majority
of the committee on resolutions in in
sorting 16 to plank into the plat
form.
1.-The idea of announcing that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of16 to 1 is a great moral principle
is all nonsense" said he. The ratio is
a thing to be determined by congress.
Here we have the spectacle of Okla
homa and Indian Territory and some of
the smaller states debating to such
states as Ohio, Indiana, New York and
Pennsylvania. 1t is absurd. Bryan is
honest and earnest, but he is surround
ed by lot of people who evidently con-
troll his views. 1t would be simply inn
possible to carry Ohio or Indiana on
any such platform as is suggested by
the majority of the resolutions commit
tee. The Germans will vote solid against
US. 1t is for 16 to 1 to the front as the
paramount issue of the campaigner. 1t
is not that; but the Democrat will have
to defend from the minute the platform
with a 16 to 1 declaration is adopted
They are playing right into the hands
Of their opponents"

Hill Says Fight on 16 to Will Be
Carried to the Convention.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 5.-'The fight
on the platform will be carried to the
floor of the convention" said David 5.
Hill this morning. 1.-The action of the
resolutions committee is not conclusive.
Why, just look at the list of states that
voted for a 16 to 1 plank. 1t includes
states that never did bring an electoral
vote to the Democratic party and states
with small delegations in the conven-
ton. Look at the list of states that vo-
ted no. Is not nearly every doubtful
state in that column? Doesn't it include
nearly every state that is a battle
ground, and the states with the most
powerful delegation. There's Indiana
for instance and Michigan and New
York and Maryland and Ohio
''Then you don't consider the question
settled by the action of the resolutions
committee?" Senator Hill was asked
mo, sir, it is not settled by any
means. Wait until it comes up in the
convention
But. senator, it is understood that
there will not be a minority report?"
was asked.
e 81 don't so understand. Mr. Sinclair,
who was a member of the committee,
has just been here, and I gather from
what he says that there will be such a
report In fact. 1t was the understand
ing that such a report should be made.''
why do you know" he continued, in
rather excitable manner, that we car
ried the conservative proposition by five
votes one time and then they put up the
cry that Mr.. Bryan would not accept
and then carried it by two votes. Think
of it! Two votes. Probably Hawaii and
Oklahoma, two territories that can't
give US an electoral vote. defeat the will
of the east and the entire Democracy.
It's appalling. The strongest silver men
are with US. Even Jones is with us and
has SO declared, but he is dominated
by Mr. Bryan. Just the same as 1 am
opposed to Imperialism in nation, so
am opposed to it in an Individual This
is Imperialism of the worst kind. How

DRIFTING TO STEVENSON.
The Illinois Democrat Favorably Con-
sidered For Second Place.

Kansas City. Mo. July 5.-The talk
among the delegates this morning is
that the tide is setting very strongly
towards Stevenson for the vice presi-
dency. 1t was stated in some quarters
that both the president and vice presi
dent would be nominated before the con-
vention adjourned tonight. While the
leaders do not agree that Stevenson
should be the nominee it seemed that he
was gaining strength. The New York
ers said they would stand by Keller and
favorite sons of other states will be vo-
ted for. The Towne candidacy decision
seemed not to have made much head
way although his friends say the 16 to
declaration is bound to help him and
NAV nominate him.
