Yet they tell us these countries are
on the gold standard. and the bankers
in their conventions state they want
the money Of this country the same as
in these countries named, SO that when
they speak Of the dollar they know
what it's value Is the same as they do
when they speak Of the pound OF Eng
land: the franc of France, or the mark
of Germany. Are these great finan-
ciers so ignorant that they do not
know that the same thing compared
with itself in value never changes my

special to the Heraid"i says:
Senator Hanna, who is much occupied
with preliminary matters leading up to
the Republican National Convention. said
tonight: n.-i
Aiyices Just received from Philadel
phia indicate that everything will be ready
in time and that the city and people are
prepared to give the delegates to the Re
publican National Convention OF 1900 a
hearty reception and generous hospitality
AS State and district conventions have
been held and delegates chosen. we have
been receiving visits or letters which in
dicate perfect harmony on national ques
tions and the choice OF the nominee for
the head OF the ticket
The selection of man for the second
place is open, has always been. and will
SO continue until the convention shall
have made its choice.
Governor Roosevelt will not be nomi-
mated for Vice President, and has not been
discussed in that connection by party
leaders or those who might speak for the
administration. What has been said
about it has been purely speculative
All am interested in is to secure the
denomination of William Mckinley. The
assertions made here and there that the
President is concerning himself with the
choice OF his associate en- the ticket 20
him injustice. 1t can be said with en-
phasis that the Vice Presidential nomina-
tion will remain open Until the assembling
of the convention.
=" "A number of names have been brought
forward, and no doubt each gentleman
will develop strength. have yet 10 fear
from any source within the lines of the
Republican party even a ripple of hesita-
ton regarding the denomination OF Pr/5i-
dent Mckinley.
e The inclination is to renominate him
by acclamatiOn, and the convention
may have it that way. The past four
years have given rise to new issues. There
will be bold declarations on these. The
Republican Convention, in its platform
declarations, will have to meet all these
new problems of public policy by taking
advanced ground
Mr.. Hanna says that correspondence OF
the National Executive Committee shows
that confidence in President Mckinley is
strengthened by experience. and his re-
election, particularly if opposed by the
head OF the ticket and platform of the
Democratic party OF 1896, Will be simply
overwhelming.

THE CUBAN POSTAL SCANDAL.
4 Suspect Confesses and DicIoses I'm.
portant Information.

pOrIHnu 1hIorIhnttOn-
HAVANA, May 10.-The investigation
into the postoffice department has reached
that stage where the men implicated in
the conspiracy to defraud the department
are looking out TO save themselves To-
day one of the suspects turned state's S
evidence and gave the special agents in
formation to where some of the plunder
had been concealed. 1t is expected that
this money. which is said to amount to a
large sum. will be recovered by tomorrow
Who the informer is the authorities re-
fuse to dtvulge for the present. His state
ments. however, are said to confirm all
the allegations made by the officials and
also dispose of the assertions made in
certain interested quarters. both here and
in the United States. that the discrepan-
cies are the result of clerical errors which
have been misconstrued into fraud by the
military authorities through jealousy of
the civil administrators of the postal de-
partment.
When the investigation began the postal
officials were Indignant and Director
Rathbone and all his subordinates refused
to talk. AS the evidence accumulated
day after day to such an extent that there
could be no possible doubt of the existence
of a gigantic swindle change came over
them. Mr.. Rathbone says that he had
been deceived by those he trusted and
FASTENED to offer every assistance to Cen
eral Wood. Now, postal and division
agents are working in perfect harmony
No arrests have been made. for the rea-
son that 1t is deemed wiser to permit the
suspects to have their freedom a little
longer. They cannot escape from the
island and they may do something to in
crease the proof OF their guilt The Gu
ban press still ignores the matter

Many supporters OF silver in the
state Convention.
DENVER, Col. May 10.-Many men who
have until recently been leaders in the
Silver Republican party today took part
in the State Republican convention here.
Out of nearly 200 delegates more than half
have been outside the ranks of the Repub-
lican party during 1.-THE last four five
years, but have come back for good. The
following delegates at-large TO the
National Conventio6 were chosen: Sen 3.
ator Edward o. WoIcott. David ii. Moffatt.
Winfield s. Stratton, and ID. r. C. Brown.
Senator Wolcott WIS received with tre-
mendous cheering. In addressing the
convention he said:
"A wave swept oyer shis State few
years ago that took from its moorings the
best blood of the State. We all sought
what we believed to be the best welfare
of the Commonwealth. We have come to-
gether again never to be separated"
The keynote OF the conyentiop was the
cordial reunion OF the silver and gold
wings of the party. AS Colorado Is nor
mally Republican. confidence is expressed
by many that the tremendous majority
for Bryan in 1896 may this year be over
come.
