quarters of the national committee,

Mr.. Marvel declared last night and reit-
Grated today that Mr.. Gray was not a
candidate for anything but the pres
idency. He was asked if the judge would
accept the nomination provided the con-
vention adopted a platform containing
radical anti-injUnction plank. To this
M, Marvel replied:
will arise From all I can gather. the
Denvef plalrorp. will not cetta'n any ut
terance on the anti-injunciion proposition
varying largely from the expressions con-
tanned in democratic platforms Tor the
last twelve years
Stress was laid by Mr.. Marvel upon the
fact that there are 400 uninstructed dele
gates in the convention, and he believes
that Judge Gray will be able to obtain
many of them on the first ballot, more of
them on the second ballot and will then
make inroads in the Bryan delegations
that will eventually result in the nOInina-
ton of the Delaware candidate.
Delaware's Views on Injunction.
1t has been decided by the Delaware
delegates that l.. l.. Layton shall repre-
sent that state on the committee on reso-
Iutions. He is expected to arrive in this
CITY in company with a large number OF
other GRAY boomers the evening of July
l. According to Mr.. Marvel the Della
ware delegation has some we'll developed
ideas of what the anti-injunction plank
should be- but will not make them public
until they are offered by Mr.. Layton
when the platform committee meets.
That these ideas are in harmony with
the views expressed in the last three plat
forms of the democratic Iarty Is admit
ted.
To Honor Cleveland's Memory.
After meeting and perfecting tempo

mans of the committee on arrangements
are carried mo. effect The committee
has not reached the point of making
definite announcement, but the question
has been recently discussed. and the ex-
preston generally favors this course 1t
is believed that the adjournment can be
taken in this way without interfering
with the progress of the proceedings OF
the convention, and at the same time en-
able the convention to pay the proper
degree of respect for the eX-PreSldent.
The committees will he announced so

The Thistles opened the game with
a rush. and Storr was eai1y called on
to clear Play was then transferred to
the other end. where Aston had hard
luck with a nice shot. 1t was plainly
seen in the early part Of the game that
the San Francisco's halfbacks packed
in placing the ball and although they
tried hard at times their judgment of
distance was at fault. Mizen was the
only half TO show form at all and his
efforts We're spoiled by the weakness
OF his fellow players. The first sensa-

tors. and he succeeded in scoring Is

when Kay fisted the ball inside the
penalty line and gave away a penalty
kick. 1t was one of the most foolish
mistakes of the season. as the other
side was in no immediate danger OF
scoring and at that the fullback had to
reach to catch the ball with his hands
Aston was intrusted with the kick and
sent the ball directly into the waiting
hands of the goal keeper. McRitchie
was roundly cheered for saving.
Five minutes later the ThistIss were
awarded a penalty for Mizen tripping
Scott inside the penalty area. Gore
took the kick and made no mistakes
the ball crashing into the l.sfthand cor
ner of the goal, where the custodian
had no chance to reach it. Ten minutes
before the conclusion of the first half
the Thistles gained another goal
through a stroke of luck. Fitchie, in
endeavoring to clear, kicked the ball
against Wilson, and before the goal
sphere had rebounded through the goal.
Half time found the Thistles on the
nice end of a to score.
The Scotch team was deserving of
their lead in the first period, but the
second half was another story. The
San Franciscos started things with an
overwhelming rush down the field,
and, carrying everything before them,
brought play to McRitchie's charge.
Many dangerous shots were rained on
the custodian. but he managed to make
away with them all. The only redeem
ing feature of the Thistles' play in this
half was the work of Scott, at outside
left.
The finish arrived with the Scotties
still Leading and the San Franciscos
left the field bemoaning their hard
luck. The teams lined up as follows:
