REPUBLICAN NEGRO PLANK
MAY AID DEMOCRATS
Delegates From the South TO the Con-
ventiOn Proposed Reduction
In Representation.

It seems to be the consensus of opinion
Of the leading Democrats OF the South
that the Democratic platform should take
no cognizance OF the negro plank in the
Republican platform. The Southern Demo-
Gratis hold that the negro question is dis
tinctively a Southern problem one which
the South can SETTLE, an dthe threat of
the Republican party to reduce the South
em representation in Congress has no
terrors for them.
1t is generally believed that the plank
was Incorporated in the Chicago platform

large negro vote. and that the Republican
party has no intention OF attempting to
reduce the representation from the South

At a conference between United States

the Vandalia New Jersey special yester-
day morning. the breach between the op-
posing factions of the New Jersey De-
mocracy was ratched up.
For several years Smith and Davis have
been recognized as the factional leaders.
the principal bone of contention being the
question of patronage. Gourley arranged
the meeting yesterday morning. and when
1t was over It was understood among the
delegates that an amicable arrangement
had been reached whereby the patronage
would be equally divided hereafter
The delegation. twenty-four strong. ar
rived In st. Louis last night and registered
at the Lindell Hotel. Before reaching the
city caucus was held, at which Senator
Smith was selected chairman of the dele
cation. William b. Gourley was reelected

Resolutions. Howard Carrow of the Com
mittee on Credentials. Johnston Cornish

Another caucus will be held tomorrow
morning at headquarters in the LindeIl to
decide on the delegation's choice for the
presidential nomination.
A member of the delegation said last
night that sentiment was divided between
Cleveland. Gray and Parker. II the con-
vention shows disposition to accept the
Cleveland movement seriously they will
push 1t for all it is worth. but otherwise
the votes will be cast for either Judge
Parker or Judge Gray.
The delegates were instructed by their
State Convention to act as Il unit on all
questions. but were uninstructed as to any
particular candidate.
As to the platform the delegates were
unanimous last night in declaring that
they were opposed to reaffirmation of
the Kansas City platform.

the large paTlor on the second floor OF
suggestion OF Senator Stone, Governor
Dockery. Major Harvey W. Salmon and
others. Governor Dockery first offered his
quarters at the Southern. but II was de-
cided that they were too small. Meantime
Senator Stone learned that the quarters
now in possession Of the Missourians could
with as many Of the delegates as possi-
BILE, asking their advice. He was advised
to secure the quarters at once. Excise
Commissioner Seibert was with Senator
Stone when the contract was made with
the Southern Hotel people and he offered
to advance the money for the quarters
(s6oO. which was accepted. although 1t
seems the hotel people had not asked that
payment be made in advance.
1t is the understanding. so Governor
Dockery and other delegates say. that Mr..
Seibert will be reimbursed, as he should
be. He advanced the money both as a
matter of accommodation and because he
is destrous Of aiding the Missourians in
every way possible to secure the nomina-
tion of Senator Cockrell. 1t is the under
standing of the delegates that the ex-
penses of the quarters will be borne jointly
by them.
The delegates regret very much that any
thing ever got into print about this mat
ter, as they deem 1t of private nature
and really Of no public concern. But as
notices had been mailed to the delegates
by Senator Stone stating that each would
be expected to bear his share of the ex-
penses of the headquarters. the misleading
statement referred to caused a general
misunderstanding. with the result that it
was deemed best to make a plain state
ment of the facts. The whole cost will
not be very much. and II is stated that
each delegate will be very glad to contrib
ute his part.
1t is fact that the CockreIl headquar-
ters are the most commodious in the city.
They are more than double the size of the
New York headquarters. while some of the
other rooms devoted to presidential booms
would be lost in the Cockrell quarters.
1t was stated yesterday that Congress
man De Almond. who is one of the dele
gates at large from Missouri. has so far
recovered from his recent illness that he
will probably be in the city to-day and
be able to render the delegation substan-
rell. A good many, inquiries were made
concerning Mr.. De Almond during the
day. No one has any definite Information
from his home. but Major Salmon. who
lives in the district. said he was satisfied
that the Congressman would be here, and
that he had sufficiently recovered to be of
great service to the delegation.
William j. MCGEE of San Francisco one
of the California delegates to the conven-
tion. is of the opinion that should the con-
would be necessary for the friends of

kananA Wants Harris.

The Kansas delegation wants former
United States Senator Harris of Leav-
enworth 1t is the belief of the Demo-
Gratis from that State that If Harris re-
ceives the nomination for Vice President
the electoral vote can be taken from
Roosevelt in all probability. and in any
event. with the Republican fight over the
governorship. the State will be able to
elect Democrat for Governor.
If a Kansas man is not selected the
Kansas delegation would go to an Indiana
or Wisconsin man for the second place.
Senator Harris served in the Confederate
army was elected from Kansas to the
United States Senate by the combined
votes of the Populists and Democrats in
the Legislature in 1897. and his part in the
task of recovering debt of several mil
lions of dollars from the Union Pacific
Railroad for the Government. and his
service in the Panama Canal negotiations.
placed him among the most prominent
ard able men of the Senate.
