bt, Louis, June 17. The Republican
national convention cleared the decks
or action today. Two session were
held, one ot an hour In the morning
and one of three hour In the evening.
Permanent organization wa effected
and the permanent cnalrrr.an, Ben a tor
John ii. Thuraton, of Nebraska, as
sumed tne duties ot preaiuing omcer.
The report of the committee on cre
dential wa received and adopted at
the afternoon session. This leave the
battle royal over the platform and the
nomination of candidate tor tomor
row. It is probable the platform
would have been disposed of tonight
hsd It not been the night session
would have Interfered with the mam
moth McKlnley parade ot marching
club previously arranged for tonight.
Nothing could have been in more
striking contrast with the dull, feature
less session of yesterday, than the bril
lalnt, animated and enthusiastic ses
sion of today. The vast hall wa pack
ed to it utmost capacity with thous
and of spectators, keyed to the high
est pitch ot enthusiasm and overflow
ing with cheer and handclapplng to
the elastic touch of words, or with the
hoarse roar ot 12,000 voice as It came
thundering down to the pit from the
black walls of people on all sides, ac
companied by the waving ot handker
chiefs, mats and flags, all making a
tumultuous noise ' and motion t.at
made the pulse beat a faster tune.
Yesterday the appearance or mention
of the names of the great leaders of
the party evoked no demonstration.
Today it was like applying match to
a powder magaxlne to mention a dis
tinguished name, and several times
when there was no occasion for It the
exuberant galleries applauded their ex
plosions with a chorus of shout for
McKlnley.
' GOOD BYE. 8ILVER.
St. Louis, June 17. At the afternoon
session the first test of strength be
tween the McKlnley follower and
those ot Reed, Allison, Quay and Mor
ton came, and although the Issue pre
sented was not as strong as McKln
ley, It demonstrated to the satisfac
tion of all candidate that McKlnley
ha a clear majority of over 100 in the
convention. The question was the
adoption of the report of the commit
tee on credentials which ratified the
action of the national committee In
giving almost all of the 158 contested
seats to the McKlnley Interest, and de
cided the Texas contest in favor of the
Grant (McKlnley) delegates, and that
ot Delaware In favor of the Hlgglns
delegates.
While the convention was proceeding
with Its work a dramatic scene was
being enacted In the committee on res
olutions. A group ot western silver
men, headed by Senator Teller, of Col
orado, said to their colleagues, when
the gold plank In the platform was
adopted by a vote ot forty to ten, that
they had reached the parting of ways
and nothing remained but for them to
bolt the convention. It was thought
there would be violent recriminations
and wild words of denunciation when
the final announcement of the break
came, but Instead it was the parting
of old friends in sorrow, not in anger.
The allver men felt themselves swept
on tty an Irresistible fate and with pro
testations of regret, they cast the die.
The scene was a most affecting one.
The gold men in the committee were
filled with compassion, and there was
not a dry eye In the room while Sen-
ktor Teller spoke. Senator Dubois,
Senator Cannon, and Delegate Mott
broke down completely and wept like
children. Senator Lodge, who replied.
spoke words of tender sympathy, as
It the occasion waa some great per
sonal bereavement. He euolglxer Sen
ator Teller and his colleagues, but d
clared that the representatives of his
party could not falter on that account
on the money question.
THE SECOND PLACE.
St. Louis. June 17. The vice-presi
dential situation bids fair to take the
convention out of the featureless rut
which has so far marked Its session
and it is tonight as pretty a three
cornered fight as has been seen In a
long while, and although Piatt's ad
herents claim that "If Morton wants
It he can have it." It Is nevertheless
patent that Reed would be the candl
date If Vis consent to make the race
waa obtained. ' ,
The New Jersey delegation, with
their candidate. Garret A. Hobart, are
campaigning aggressively for him and
have obtained the support of the Miller
element Nor Is this latter element
lumayed at the I'latt claim of victory ;
for their candidate. It 1 asserted by
h'-m tonight that they will effect a
mthlnatlon thai will destroy Morton's
nances. Kvans' adherent are not out
f the race, and a portion of the Ohio
elegstlon that 1 adverse to Piatt and
Morion are working energetically to
night. The confidence of the Piatt men
onlght Is. however, a trifle diwourag-
ng to the more Incipient booms, be
cause It is thoroughly well know n that
Piatt will never stand a second beat
ing, and will not put Morton In the
race for vlce-presl lent unles he Is pos
itive that he ha enough men to elect
him. Mark Hanna, McKlnley' man
ager, (till retains hi silence a to
which side of the controversy he will
endorse, claiming that nntn hla can
didate receive the nomination It
would be both unrrlce and unpolltlc for
him to do o.
Miller asserts that be will not under
any circumstances aid Piatt, anl Piatt
himself believes this and finds no fault
with Hanna' course, seeing that the
Miller people would have upholder In
New York slate, but the Guay-Lodge-Alder-Platt
combination la very strong
tonight and their probabilities of win
ning eem bright
GERMAN AMERICANS,
bt. Lous. June 17. The following tele
gram 'waa received In this city last
night for distribution amot.g the dele
gates to the convention:
The German American Bound Mon
ey League declares, irrespective of pol
itics, that they will support the party
which by its platform emphatically de
clare. for the maintenance of the gold
standard and against the free coinage
of silver at any ratio. They are sup
ported in this declaration by ISO out of
3S7 German-American newspaper
throughout the country, and by nlne-
tenihs of the German-American voter
in the doubtful states."
A GOOD RIDDANCE.
St Louis, June 17. The Colorado
delegation bad a meeting tonight and
decided in positive terms to leave the
convention In a body upon the adop
tion of a platform containing a decla
ration for the gold standard. It ha
frequently been announced that they
would pursue this course, but there
ha really been more or less doubt up
to tonight that they would do so, one or
two members of the delegation being In
doubt as to the wudom of this course.
The decision to go out ot the conven
tion waa unanimous.
The Idaho delegation as a body, a
majority of the Utah and Nevada dele
gations, and part of the Montana and
North Carolina delegations will go out
with the Colorado men.
THE SILVER MEN.
St. Louis, June 17. When the stiver
delegate walk out ot the convention
tomorrow It is their purpose to bold
a meeting of their own at which they
will probably place Teller In the field
aa candidate for the presidency on the
free silver platform. The only ob
stacle in the way of this ia the fact
that Teller has not yet given his as
sent ':' ' "' ' 'l ': ;
MORTON COOL
Rhlnecllff, N. Y., June 17. Gov. Mor
ton is watching the course of events at
St Louis with unruffled demeanor,
showing no anxiety whatever. As re
raded the acceptance of the vice-presidential
nomination, he had nothing to
say.
BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
San Francisco, June 17. The Rev,
H. F. Marshall, who was employe.!
by the Call several months prior o
last April filed a complaint aganist
John D. Spreckles today demanding
150,000 damages for assault and bat
tery.
The young clergyman recites In his
complaint that "on the 14th ot April
the defendant struck and beat him on
the face, breaking his teeth and bruis
ing, cutting, and breaking the Bkin of
his face, and then proceeded to knock
the plaintiff down and kick him.
It Is said the reason for the assault
by Spreckles was that Marshall at
tempted to sell out the A. P. A. to
Spreckles and made a blackmailing de
mand upon him.
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.

gentlemen are hop merchants, and
have made a careful Investigation of
Oregon's growing crops. They report
that the fields In the WtUamette Val

number of plants is lees than In former
years, the average crop will probably
be secured owing to the exceptionally
fine condition of the vines.
It this is a fair estimate of the hop
