Elli:.nsjiukg, Wash., April 5. The
State Republican Convention today
elected eight delegates to tbe National
Republicau Convention at Philadelphia,
and instructed them to vote for the re-
nomination of President McKiniey. A
platform was adopted and tbe coureo of
tbe Republican Congressmen for this
state was indorsed. The only issuo be
fore the convention was the fight for
party supremacy between tho Wilson
and the anti-Wilson forces, and the re
sult was overwhelming defeat for the
former. The convention was completely
in the hands of the opposition to the
Spokane ex-Senator, and it carried its
hostility to that former leader bo far aB
to deny Spokane county any representa
tive whatever on the delegation. C. B.
Hopkins, of Spokane, who had been In
dorsed by his convention for delegate,
found tho tide running eo strongly
against him that he withdrew his name
before tbe balloting began.
The delegates, who were chosen with
out contest in tho convention, as the
result of combinations between the anti
Wilson forces, are as follows:
Levi Ankeny, Walla Walla ; Dr. L. M.

THE NEW YORK
GOLD DEMOCRATS
Arc Generally Friendly To Admiral
Dewey.
New York, April 5. Gold Democratic
leaders of this city, discussing Admiral
Dewey'a candidacy for tho Presidency,
are generally friendly to him. Abram
S. Hewitt says:
"It seems to me doubtful whether the
Bryanites can now be dislodged. On a
good platform Dewey would certainly
get my vote."
"Wbat I am concerned about," said
W. Bourko Cockran, "is the platform
Admiral Dewey may run on. To my
mind, 'that's tho whole question at
present. He would make a good presi
dent if he stands for the right thing, and
has tbe backing of a good platform. With
a sound platform I should not only be
willing to see Dpwey the Democratic
nominee I would support him enthusi
astically." "Then you prefer him to Mr. Bryan?"
"I do not not make any issue be
tween the two men personally. As I
have just said, I think the platform is
the main thing, with the nominee
standing squarely upon it,"
Edward M. Sheppard believes that if
Admiral Dewey stood firmly against the
colonial policy of the present Adminis
tration, his candidacy would be both ac
ceptable and successful.
General D. E. Sickles said that Ad
miral Dewey's declaration creates a very
interesting opportunity, which tho
Democratic convention can scarcely re
fuse to profit by. John DeWitt Warner
said there are points in the Admiral's
political belief which will have to be
cleared up before the people can take
his candidacy seriously.

its shapeliness to the "bitter
end."
