Special to The Cheonicle: a
St. Louis, June 16. The weather to
day is fine. The delegates at all the
hotels were up early and several meet
inps were held before breakfast. Quay
expressed himself satisfied with the
financial plane already agreed upon.
No nominations are expected this week.
The convention was called at 12 :20 p
m. by Carter. Rabbisale offered a long
.invocation. Secretary Munly, of Maine,
then read the call for the convention.
A great demonstration occurred when
Charles Carter introduced C; W. Fair
banks, of Indiana, as tempory chairman
The nomination was seconded by Win
H. Southerland, of New York delegatiod,
and his selection was unanimously in
dorsed.
Massachusetts will be solid for Reed,
though the nomination of McKinley ha
been conceded. It is understood the
Hanna and McKinley managers have
given Piatt the privilege to name a can

sorrow of New Jersey delegates.
who believed their candidate, Garrett
A.' Hobart, would be victorious.' Piatt
has informed Hanna that he would not
consider the vice-presidency until after
the president was nominated.
Later. At the opening of the conven
tion the halls were crowded and an ex
tra force of police were applied for to
preserve order. The principal speech of
the morning was that of Charles W.
Fairbanks, of Indiana, on the currency
question, which was wildly applauded.

admitted that the large number of vice
presidential candidates will necessitate

the presidential candidate, and a conse
quent delay in the work of the conven
tion. '
The New York delegation has given
up hopes of securing a favorable answer
from Governor Morton, but will urge
him, if McKinley is nominated to ac
cept. Meantime, however, rumor is
busy with the name of J. Sloat Fasset of
New York, and bis name is favorably
received by the Western delegates. The
boom for Garrett A. Hobart is being
pushed with great vigor and he will un
doubtedly prove a formidable antago
nist to the many other men mentioned.
The Maine people have two candidates,
leaving out of . consideration the move
ment in Dingley's favor. Senator Frye
and Governor Clews had open support
this morning in a friendly rivalry. Mc
Kinley people busied themselves today
with the names of, two Easterners,
Chauncey M. Depew and Warner Miller.
Depew would be acceptable to the New
York factions, and Miller would not.
It is the general view that the vice-presidential
nomination shall go to the Fast.
TBEI WILL SUPPORT BHD.
Colored Delegate Bay Tbey Are
Tlirougn With McKinley.
St. Louis, June 15. Henry Cabot
Xiodge, Joseph Manley, State Insurance
Commissioner. Carr and other Maine
workers were extremely active this
morning, yet frank in their statements
that McKinley had a clear majority
Senator Lodge had a conference with
South Carolina, Florida, West Virginia
and New York colored men, and an
nounced that he had received assurances
from them of active support for Reed
and a pledge for missionary work. He
said :
"The colored Southern delegates have
been badly treated by the McKinley
managers. They were promised great
consideration and received none. A ma
jority of them have declared for Reed.
A significant fact in this connection is
that Caleb Simms, of New York, a prom
inent Piatt colored man and instructed
alternate for Morton, was one of the
leaders in the movement of colored men
toward Reed. The Kerens faction, of
the Missouri delegation, owing to the
fact that Hanna is supposed to be treat
ing with Chauncey I. Gilley, boldly an
nounced that thev were tbroueh with
McKinley, took down his pictures and
decorated for Reed. Naturally there
was rejoicing in the Reed camp.
PLATF6BM AGITATION,
Three-cornered Fight Upon the Money
- Issne.
ST. .lotis, June lo. Today promises
to be a day of platform agitation. A
three-corned fight has drawn the lines
sharply." The men from the East de
manding gold in the platform are very
determined.
Lodge, Piatt and other opponents of
McKinley seem to feel that they are
placing McKinley in thf hole bv insist
ing upon an emphatic gold declaration
being made. Their programe is to force
the fight in the' committee on resolu
tions, and if tbey cannot win in the com
mittee to carry it - to the convention.
Lodge, the Reed manager, is to lead the
fight for a gold declaration, and if it ie
not granted he and other Reed men have
a faint, hope that the refusal to put gold
in the platform will solidify the gold vote
on Reed, bat the fact that so' many Mc
Kinley men are for gold gives rise to the
hope that the gold men may be success
ful..
It has been the effort of the friends of
McKinley to avoid a fight in the conven
tion between the factions favoring the
single standard and against free coinage.
mere Mas been a drift towards a moder
ate expression in favor of gold, and there
is quite a pressure from several states for
a declaration against free coinage, and
not to have the word gold used in the
platform at all. '
Lodge, who has drafted the gold decla
ration, and secured its Indorsement by
the representatives of a number of states,
has been Dressing his plank with a great
deal of persistency, and irritated some
who would prefer a mifder declaration.
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, said this
morning: -
"We know that there is a great effort
being made to force a certain form of de
claration, but the probabilities are that
no one will .know what the financial
plank will be until the committee on re
solutions reports. It may be the fight
as to the form of the resolution will be
carried to the convention. The financial
plank will be what we want : that is all
there is to it.'' '
Tne silver men were at first disposed
to aid the ultra gold men in securing the
straightest kind of declaration, but there
is an indication that they are not quite
so enthusiastic in that direction as - at
first. There are some who seem anxious
to make a dramatic exit from the con
vention hall, but the count up ' to date
finds a number of waverers, and the pro-
DaDiuiy mat mere would be representa
tives of all the delegations left on the
floor makes the 'proposed grandstand1
play seem a little doubtful as to the ef
fect.' There is a disposition toward mod
eration among the prominent silver men,
which may make the bolt less preten
tious than advertised.
gation made the following selections:
National committeeman, George A.
Steele; vice-president of the convention,
J. H. Calbreath; resolutions, Charles S.
Moore ; credentials, Wallace McCainant ;
permanent organization, J. W. Mel
drum; notification, Charles Hilton;
chairman of the delegation, Charles Par
rish; secretary, E. A. Booth.
The Oregon delegation adopted the fol
lowing resolution, and will submit it to
the national committee on resolutions:
"The Republican party has always
been an advocate of honest money; it
points with pride to its financial record
during the greenback movement. It
was opposed to the greenback inflation
then; it is opposed to silver inflation
now. It believes that every dollar
issued by the government should have
the same purchasing power as everv I
other dollar. We are, therefore, in favor i
of the maintenance of the present gold
standard, and except through interna
tional agreement, we are opposed to the
free or unlimited coinage of silver."
In addition to the above declaration,
the delegation also adoped a resolution
indorsing Senator McBride for hia action
in opposing free silver in the United
States-senate. -
