hqw delegates view it. Continued from First Page. ivith the Eastern delegations will depend their attitude on the silver question. Ohio i t° r bimetallism and against the insertion in the platform of a IG-to-1 plank. The Ohio delegation arrived to day. They arc a unit in saying that Ohio did not want the 16-to-l plank in serted in the platform. ■However, they will not make a strong tight against it, ond will accept the result with cheerful ness. F'nless the convention favors the nom ination of the vice presidential candidate hv acclamation, a complimentary vote probably will be given on the first ballot o Judge A. W. Patrick of New Philadel phia. He will not, however, be formally nominated. The majority of the dele gate* apparently fuvor the nomination of a'man "whom New York can agree upon," as one delegate expressed It, either David B. HIU or Congressman Sulzer be ing acceptable. Judge Parker also has friends in the delegation. Maine— Maine is in favor of the reaf firmation of the Chicago platform as a whole, said L. M. Staples of that delega tion. which arrived to-day. The Maine delegates probably will follow New York's lead as to Vice President. Oklahoma.— The rival Oklahoma delega tions, rivals over local differences only, arrived to-day. All of them desire to sup port some New Yorker for Vice President, and favor a reaffirmation Of the financial plank in the Chicago platform, rather than a specific declaration, Alabama.— "We are for 16 to 1, first, last and all the time,” said R. J. Lowe of Birmingham, when the delegation from Alabama came in. "We are for a plank in the platform to that effect, and if any candidate for either the first or second place on the ticket should ask any con cession in that regard, the chances are that we would be against him. We will fight for it in the convention if necessary. From ail we hear, however; we are cer toin there will be in the platform a specific declaration for the ratio. "On the vice presidential proposition me are for Hill of New York, although there ore several members of the delega tion, who favor other men than Hill. But the majority of our delegates are for him. We are for him, however, only on the understanding that he is to demand no concessions in the platform. If he asks that 16 to 1 be placed in the background or left out of the platform, then we are for somebody else.” Delaware—The Delaware delegates, with no unit rule to bind them to the unani mous support of a particular candidate, will probably divide their vote on the vice presidential nomination. Delegate Harrington said to-day that two members of the delegation favored the nomination of Towne and the insertion In the plat form of a flat declaration In favor of free silver. "The majority, however," said he, “fa vor the nomination of a conservative man. We believe that a platform can bo drawn up that will bring the Gold Demo crats back into the fold and also be suit able to the Silver Republicans.” Mr. Harrington added that he believed the nomination of either David B. Hill or Congressman Sulzer would he satis factory to the Democrats of his state. Maryland—Nearly all the members of the Maryland delegation, headed by Gov. Smith, arrived to-day. They declined to state their position in advance. Mississippi—Senator Money was among the early arrivals to-day. He probably will represent his state in the Committee on Platform. "I am for the reaffirmation of the Chi cago platform,” he said, “for a strong plank in denunciation of imperialism; for tlie denunciation of trusts and the gold standard law, and for the severe condem nation of the rascality in Cuba. I want an especially strong declaration on Impe rialism." Nevada.—Representative Francis G. Newland* waa the first member of the Ne vada delegation to arrive. He said the Nevada delegation will do that which Mr. Bryan wants done. If Mr. Bryan wants the specific declaration for 16 to 1. it will he made. That or a simple reaffirmation of five Chicago financial plank he regarded as e splitting of hairs. As to the vice presidency, he could not answer for the other delegates, but he favored Towne. Alaska.—Either a simple reaffirmation of the Chicago platform or the leaving out altogether of the 16 to 1 plank, is favored hy the members of the Alaska delegation, who arrived here, to-doy. "We are all silver people, of course," said L. L. Will iams of Juneau, “but we. believe it is for the best interests of the party to drop that issue.” For Vice President, the Alaska delegates favor a New York man, either Congress man Sulzer or David B. Hill. Texas—The Texas .delegation will ar rive to-morrow morning in two special trains. Lee Blanchette and D. P. Wheat comprised the advance guard, which ar rived to-night. According to both gen tlemen, they were instructed for Bryan, and that, of course, implied that their delegation would consider no deviation from the straight path of 16 to 1. On the vice presidency no choice, "as far as known, had been made by the delega tion, and none wilt be made until the state caucus, to be held to-morrow. Virginia—One delegate from Virginia arrived to-night, the banalnce of the dele gation being due in the morning. The lone delegate on the ground is C. Man ning. Jr. He did not claim to speak for the entire delegation, but said there was no doubt whatever that the Virginia dele gation would be for .the specific declara tion In favor of 16 to 1. One the Vice Presidency the delegation, Mr. Manning said, would be inclined to favor Hill if he did not demand concessions from the party. Florida—The members of the Florida delegation arrived to-night in a body. They announced that they were for 16 to 1 without evasion or restriciions, and fa vored Hill for Vice President. Nebraska.—At a meeting of the Ne braska delegation to-day, called expressly for the purpose of making clear Its posi tion upon the fin.fhcial question, the fol lowing specific declaration in favor of the 16 to 1 proposition was adopted unani mously: "Reaolved, That the Nebraska delega tion to the Democratic National Conven tion la unalterably opposed to any surren der of the principle of bimetallism, and heartily 1* in favor of inserting in the national platform, n plank specifically pledging the free and unlimited coinage of gold and ellver. at the ratio of 16 to 1, independently of what any other nation may do." The significance of the utterance subse quently was emphasized by the pains taken by the members of the delegation to secure Its wide and prompt distribution among the delegates and newspaper men. James Dahltnan. who has been selected by the Nebraska delegation as that state s tepresentatlvc on the new National Com mittee. made the positive statement to-day that the delegation was a unit in favor of the nomination of Mr. Towne for Vice President. Towne campaigned in Nebras ka last year—on off year In that state — and Mr. Dahlman soys that his work on the stump gained for the Democratic party thousands of votes. VAN WICK'S PLATFORM. The New Yorker Submitted n Flank to Sonttiern Delegation"* Kansas City, July 2.—Judge Augustus \lu> Wyck of New York haa a draft of " platform which has been submitted to the Southern delegates and is said to have met with some favor with them. The document reaffirms the Chicago platform and practically confines Itself to three questions—trusts. Imperialism and the tariff, it says: “In reaffirming the principles declared In the platform adopted four years ago, wt recognize the new questions that have arisen in the meantime, and are not io • S,oO<l “ ,urnin * °r faces from tbejmob.ems that now most urgently cou f ont the country to those which, though rightly emphasized by the Chteago con vention have been for the present some what shorn of their urgency by the course of recent events. When the very llte of free institutions is at stake, we think it incumbent upon all patriots to waive their lesser differences to the end that their united strength may be exerted against the common enemy." As to trusts the platform declares that in the nation. In the several states and in every municipality the Democracy, through all its organizations, will wage unremitting war for the stamping out of these conspiracies to re-establish under ne forms of trod*. the power of the few io rule and rob the many. If the laws already on the statute books be found inadequate to the work before us, we shall enact laws that will admit of no excuse for official inactivity.” With reference to imperialism, there is the following: "We make a clear distinction between expansion and imperialism. Bv the former, we mean that jus* demand of a rapidly-growing people, distinguished In highest degree for skill In manufactures, enterprise in commerce and unrivaled ca pacity in agriculture, for access to ever enlarging markets; while, by the latter, we mean that un-American spirit which would Identify our flag with tyranny, re pudiate the principles upon which the republic was founded and commit us to the abhorrent task of stifling with the bayonet the natural aspirations of weaker communities for liberty. There are nec essary measures to be taken alike in the Philippines and China for the mainte nance of the commercial interests of this republic, as well as for the effective ex ercise of our naval and military author ity in the Pacific ocean, and these the Democratic party will, withfcut violating any principle, either of our own Declara tion of Independence or the right of other people, not hesitate to fake; hut we pro test against the monstrous pretense that, in order to secure the objects here indi cated, we must invalidate our own cla m to existence as a nation.” The tariff plank declares that "tariff reform Is called for over the entire circle of our so-called protected Industries.” NATIONAL COMMITTEE MET. Flnnllj- Agreed to Refer Contests to Sulk-Committees. Kansas City July 2.—The Democratic National Committee was called to meet at the Kansas City Club building at 10 o'clock to-day, but the members were slow In gathering and did not begin to arrive for almost an hour after that lime. The committee heard the report of the sub committee, which has had in charge the preparation of convention hall, and then took up other matters requiring its at tention. A decision had been reached to have the various contests over seats heard by sub-commltte sand not by the ccmmittee as a whole. The committee did not manifest a dis position to accept without question the Leision of the sub-committee to refer the I ’ NEW CONVENTION HAIL, KANSAS CITY, WHERE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION MEETS. contests to sub-committees for hearing, i and especial objection was made to this disposition of the Montana controversy. A motion was made to temporarily seat the Clark delegation until the Committee on Credentials could take up the case, but the motion was almost immediately voted down. After a brief debate the sub-committee’s recommendation was accepted, and Chair man Jones was authorized to name the members of the various subordinate com mittees. During the discussion, Mr. Campbell of New York indicated prefer ence for the Clark delegation and Mr. Clayton of Alabama for the Daly men. The sula-commlttee on contests appoint ed Is as follows: On Montana, Williams of Massachusetts. Campbell of New Yorg, Clayton of Alabama, Ferguson of New Mexico, and Wilson of Colorado. On District of Columbia.—Woodson of Kentucky. Norris of New* Hampshire, Paul of New Jersey, Clancy of Wisconsin, Obermeyer of Indiana. • ' On Oklahoma.—Senator Kenny of Dela ware, Johnson of Ohio. Woods of South Dakota. Gordon of Maine, and O'Brien of Minnesota. On Indian Terrltory.-Daniels of North Carolina. McGrow of West Virginia, Ga han of Illinois, Ainslee of Idaho, and Head of Tennessee. Of the Montana sub-committee, Messrs. Williams and Clayton ere said to be fav orable to Daly delegates, and Messrs. Camplwll of Ferguson, to the Clark peo ple. Mr. Wilson’s position is not defined. When the sub-committees were an nounced. the committee took up the ques tion of the distribution of seats in the con vention. The decision was to give to each national committeeman five stage seat* and ten general seats; to each delegate tour tickets In addition to his own se it, and to each alternate his own seat only, the remainder to be left in the hands of Chairman Jones. The committee then adjourned until p. m. NOT AGAINST SILVER. Croker So Declares Alton, the Posi tion of Tammany. Kansas City. July 2.-“I wish to correct the impression that Tammany is fighting against the Insertion of a silver plank In the Democratic platform,” said Richard Croker to an Associated Press represent live to-night. "This Is not so. and It la a point on which I and the whole Newr York organization haa been more misrep resent and misunderstood than on any °'"l 'believe, and have frequently slated, that a more conservative stand on this Question would be much more to the Inter ests of the party, not only in New York, but all over the country.

POITMSTS OX THE SCENE. All of Them l'nvor tlie Nomination of Towne as Vice President. Kansas Citj - , July 2.—United States Senators Harris, Allen and Heitfeld, all Populists, arrived to-day and will remain during the convention as spectators. All of them favor the nomination of Towne for Vice President. "I think Mr. Towne the best vote getter that can be named,” said Senator Harris, “but I doubt whether the convention will have the wisdom to accept him. My opinion Is that the nom ination will go either to Indiana or New York.” Senator Allen said it was foo early to make a forecast. "It is likely, however," he said, "the convention will be guided, to a considera ble extent, at least, by the wishes of Mr. Bryan, if he cares to make known what his wishes are.” IT MIST BE FOB SILVER.

Strong Ftterunces in a Speech to Colorado Visitor*. Lincoln. Neb., July 2.—With the return to Kansas City this morning of ex-Sena tor David B. Hill, and with lilm J. <l. McGuire and Eugene Hughes of Syracuse, N. Y., the gentlemen w(io have been clos est to Mr. Bryan In the consultations over the platform and vice presidency, the con ference stage at the Bryan home has given way to the more spectacular features. These began to-day with the arrival of the Colorado delegation, accompanied by visitors to the number of over 100. So far as the platform which Mr. Bryan favors is concerned, it it supposed to have been entrusted to Senator Hill to manage it at the Kansas City end. The vice pres idency is not so clear, but the develop ments of the day seemed to emphasize the belief that Congressman Suizcr Is no longer In the running. Senator Hill and District Delegates Hughes ami McGuire are not for him. Among the Lincoln crowd, now that the Nebraska delegates themselves, who are for Towne, have gone, the name of Carter Harrison Is more frequently mentioned than that of any other second place possibility. Mayor "Harrison, it is asserted, would be accept i ble to Mr. Bryan, hut U is believed that not even to his Intimates has he expressed a leading preference as to hit running mate. Strong Declarations. The new front porch of the Bryan home received Its real dedication to-day. The Colorado contingent, over 100 strong, and including most of the delegates, stop ped over from 8 o'clock until neon and visited Mr. Bryan In a body. In response to an address from a mem ber of the delegation. Mr. Bryan said: "I thank you for this friendly call, and as sure you I appreciate your good will and kindly Interest, and 1 am sure that the citizens of Lincoln join with me wheiwji say that I am glad to see you here. ”1 am sure that Colorado people are no more anxious for the realization of the principles of the Dftn craslc pLt.orm tna i are the people of many other states But 1 want to say to you that when Colorado forsakes the principle of 16 to 1. and when the people have ceased In their support ot tbe principle, I will still be found fighting, even though alone. “The Republicans held their national convention at Philadelphia on the anni versary of the founding of their party, thereby exhibiting a partisan spirit. The Democrats hold their convention in Kan sas City on July 4. the anniversary of the birth of the nation, thereby manifesting a patriotic spirit. The Republicans would repeal the Declaration of Independence, the Democrats would reaffirm It every where throughout the world. "There Is one great principle to he fought for In the coming campaign, and that is whether or not the dollar shall be placed above the man. Where man and the dollar come in conflict, and tbe Re publican party stands for the dollar first, the Democrats stand for the man. Where there was one reason In 1896 for carrying Colorado’s Democratic ticket there are sixteen reasons now. "The Democratic party stands for the same prineiplese, in the North as well ns in the South, the East as well as in the West. Ours ia a party whose speakers do not have to revise their speeches for each section of the country they visit." Mr. Bryan was vociferously applauded at the conclusion of his address. GEORGIA DELEGATES MET. Opposition to n Platform Indorsing That of 1896 tn Toto. Atlanta, July 2.—The Georgia delegation, en route to Kansas City, held a meeting in St. Louis to-night. There is strong op position in the delegation to a> platform which indorses in letter and spirit the platform of ’96, Hon. Clark Howell was indorsed as national committeeman from Georgia. Louis F. Garrard was chosen as the Georgia member ot the Committee on Platform, and Price. Gilbert for commit teeman on rules. The delegation Is unan imous for the seating of Clark of Mon tana, if his claim is a good one. NOT A CANDIDATE. Though Carter Harmon Dora Not Soy He Wouldn't Accept. Chicago, July 2.—Regarding the vice presidential situation, Mayor Harrison made the following statement before leav ing for Kansas City this afternoon: "I am not a candidate, I do not think the convention will play arty favorites. I am In favor of nominating an Eastern man, and I believe one will be nominated It weuld be discourteous for me to say I would not accept the nomination If it is offered me. I think my name will not go before the convention." Address to the People. Kansas City, July 2—A comm'ttee ap pointed by the llnited Sta es Monetary League has prepared an address to the Amtrican peqple and will sulmlt it to the meeting of the League to be held to-mor row. The address denounces the money power, tracing the. evils of trusts and im p rails m to that source and declares thai the only remedy for monetary troubles is free coinage at 16 to 1. Hill Rock at Kansas City. Kansas City, July 2.—Ex-Gov. David B. Mill returned from Lincoln, Neb., at 1:20 o'clock this afternoon. He said he might have something to say later. ”1 am tired and hungry,” he said, "and do not care to talk at this time.” DIDN’T CARE ABOI’T RATIO. Gen. Warner Raised a Howl at the Meetlag of the Monetary League. Kansas City, July 2.—Til* placidity of the meeting of the United States Mone tary League was considerably ruffled In the closing hours to-day by statements from. Gen. A. J. Warner of Ohio, who was a volunteer speaker, taking the time and place which had been assigned to Mr. Sulzer, who failed to appear. Gen. War ner was introduced by ex-Gov. St. John, who called him the father of the cause of free silver. Warner caused the first flut ter of excitement by saying that so far as he knew, there was no proposition to change the ratio of coinage. The live question of ehe hour, he added, is to get silver restored to Its former place, where it would have the same rights ay gold. ”1 don't care anything about Ihe ratio of 16 to I," he said. “Get silver restored," he added, “catch your hare first, then cook It. Regulate silver automatically and you settle the question. 1 sometimes think we have laid too much stress on 16 to 1. 1 am in favor of it. hut there are and must always he conditions which may change the ratio.” Heated About Silver. Mr. Berry of Pennsylvania Interrupted and asked if Gen. Warner was not giving away some of the secrets of the platform. Before Gen. Warner could reply Mr. Harvey asked him: "Do you understand the history of free coinage?” Gen. Warner replied without perturba tion that he had made a study of it, and he begged leave to say to Mr. Harvey and others that (here had been no legs) action ttikenr hy Congress on the question of ralio. Interruptions followed with rapidity, The Quakers Are Honest People. §The Quaker Herl Tonic la not only a bleed purifier, but a Blood maker for Pale, Weak and De bilitated people who have not alrength nor blood.

Waiting a moment for quiet, Gen. Warner continued: "1 tell you the question of 16 to 1, is going to cut little figure in this cam paign. The Issues will be nitti-imperial ism and trusts, and what we should do for humanity, and the question of rat.o will sink Into infinitesimal insignificance." Mr. Harvey leaped upon a tabic and, repeating former statements, added: “If the people do not instruct Congress before election on the question of ratio, Congress would never agree. And I stand here to say to you." pointing to Gen. Warner, "16 to 1 has been demanded by our leader, Col. Bryan, and we will follow his lead." A motion to add Gen. Warner to the Committee on Resolutions brought out several objections, and Gen. Warner set tled the problem by declining to serve. A vote asking Gen. Warner to address the convention to-morrow at 10 a. m. on the currency bill was unanimously passed, and the convention adjourned until that hour. After the convention Gen. Warner was waylaid at the entrance by many who had been present, and some of them de nounced him politically, and in some In stances personally. The outside protest was as vigorous as that of the Inside. Hon. Charles I. Thomas of Denver, president of the league, culled the meeting to order, and introduced Hon. Edward H. Stiles of Kansas City as chairman, who read the call of the league. , Mr. Stiles followed with a brief speech, in which he said that after three years of affiliation with the Republican party, he waa now ready to hand in his adhe sion to the Democratic party. He charged fhat the Republican party had violated Its promise* on. financial ques tions He sold the Republican party had now taken the place of Spain In the Phil ippines, and waa shooting down the patri ot* of the islands. On motion of W. H. (Coin) Harvey, a committee was appointed to prepare and report to the league a declaration of prin ciples. The committee consists of W. H. Harvey. John P. St. John. Dr. A. A. Johnson, Colorado; F. J. Van Voris, In -1 dtana; A. Delmar of New York, and James B. Weaver of lowa. “Coin” Harvey Spoke, Mr. Harvey was Introduced as the first speaker. His subject was "The Connec tion Between Money, Trusts and Impe rialism.” He declared that in the last forty years there had been organized in this country a band of money lenders. They meet annually and have finally suc ceeded In cornering the supply of money and controlling W. By the act of the last Congress, the government had gone out of the business of issuing paper money, except as It was called for by the or ganization to which he referred. Money in the hands of this organization was money to loan, and in this respect the object for which money was made is di verted. The scale of wages, he said, has not declined very much, but this had been nullified by strikes and labor agi tations, the results of the trusts and money lenders’ organization. The Re publican administration was also respon sible for an Increasing tenantry system in this country. The fight for civilization was now on hy the Democratic party. It was more de termined than It ever had been and would never be given up until it won. The prosperity of which the Republican par ty boasted so much was the result of the Spanish wS and the demand caused by famine In India. He was In favor of the expansion of civilization, and not of cruelty. At the conclusion of Mr. Harvey's ad dress the league adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Speaker" of the I-engae. Ex-Gov. St. John was the first speaker of the afternoon session, his subject be ing "What Constitutes Money?" Refer ring to the convention on the Fourth, the speaker hoped that there would he anew declaration of principles. He demanded that (he free coinage of silver at 16 to i should be emphasized by the convention and nothing nhort-of such an enunciation wolf'd suit the people. J. R. Sovereign of Arkansas, spoke on "Monetary Reform.” The best money this country ever had, he said, "was *he zori that an not want to get away from home.” W. H. Berry of Chester spoke on "Free dom for the Workingmen.” Thin was to be the slogan of 1900, he said. Mr. Berry NOTICE Otir Store will be closed all day to-morrow, JULY 4th.

The Pennsylvania men hit It up a little as they neared th# last 'half-mile and prevented the Colum bia boy*, who were doing magnificent work, from overhauling them. Refer## Armstrong shouted again and again through his megaphone for the Cornall crew' to get into their course, but soon all Ihoec aboard the referee’s boat saw this was useless. The Cornell bow oar, Brlnk erhoff, half a mile from Ihe finish, was In a, fainting condition and barely able to raise his oar from the water; No, 3 waa distressed, and the diagonal course of the shell was explained by the loss of the** sweeps. A rowboat took their shell in tow, and the men were taken to meet the Cornell launch where the bow oarsman was laid out half unconscious and covered with coat* and sweaters. Pennsylvania h* thus won the 'varsity and the four-oar races of this year's to gatta. Columbia lias secured one secondl while Cornell has been forced to take third place In two everbs and been unable to finish in the third. The result fairly hears out what many thought from Coach Courtney's attitude upon hi* arrival here, namely. Hist the .Cornell men were at that lime about at Ihe fine point In thetr train ing and that they ail went stale before tho race was rowed. The fact that Brlnker hoff gave out after five minutes’ work and that Beyer gave out, shows the phys ical condition of these two men to ha va been far beyond the point required for hard rowing. - I AN AGREEMENT INDICATED.
