are friendly one to chauncey Chau acey I 1 fillacy tho other to richard OK erens thero are thirty four delegates from missouri nineteen necessary to choice and mr kerens claims to hava already secured tho pledges of seventeen of them western men ara largely in evidence tonight and their views of the all absorbing topics alie nominea and the finance plank are highly interesting col isaac trumbo of salt lake city delegate at carire from utah said we of the west have become convinced eliat the republican party is controlled by the lead trust and the eastern manufacturers the time has come to put th party back in lie handa of the common people for years we have braved the heat of the cast and have fought the battles of the republicans without asking anything in return tho only thing we ever got to the temperature was when the of the great east gave us for president our fight is plain we are fr silver first aad for a duty on load and wool we want lead and ool for the west and silver for tho whole country the eastern manufacturers are no longer sincere in nd vocation of protection they want free wool eo that they can buy it cheap at abo ex bensa of the farmer but they hiis st that tho manufactured product shall bo protected so that they may secure high prices for their goods our bleim is that those who grow the wool aro entitled to tho same degree of protection that ia given of massachusetts chu will you bolt in case a silver plank is not adopted that is a matter for future consideration thus far wo have believed that we could fight the matter out within our party lines but it we fail wo may he compelled to adopt some other course out of self protection suppose mckinley ia nominated on a sound money platform what then iio would be beaten in indiana and illinois and would be given auch a close rub in his own state that the result would be known only after the ballots were counted could mckinley or any other republican be elected on a sound money platform no most emphatically no every western state with the possible exception of oregon would go democratic and that combined with the vote of the south would sweep the republicans to certain defeat ato will utah support for the nomination 1 I imagine that her vote will be cast for teller nearly all the votes of the silver states I 1 think will go to him my impression now is that he will have nearly forty votes on the first ballot utah colorado and idaho will certainly support him and there is a movement on foot to get all the mining states to act in concert mr samuel H oe san francisco said the california delegation is here primarily to do what it can for california and tha pacific coast and if we may offer advice to the party we hope to promote the interests of the whole country I 1 am but one of eighteen delegates from california but I 1 know each and every one of them and I 1 know that each ot them is pledged to carry out the wishes of the republicans of california as expressed in our recent state platform that platform enjoined upon us the doty of voting and working and doing everything in honor to bring about the nomination of mckinley and every delegate will do all that is in his power to compass that result we were nest en to advance the causa of silver and this we shall do to the utmost of our ability next the republicans of california think the time has come when the pacific coast shall have a place in alfe cabinet and naturally we think that california should furnish the man for the place we ask the republicans of now england of the great east and perhaps of the greater mississippi valley to concede the justice and propriety of Cali fornias desire in this matter so the california delegation is here to ask at the hands of the republican nominee who in my judgment will be the next president this recognition 1 I am aware that at present the money question is absorbing public attention perhaps to the exclusion of the tariff but speaking for myself I 1 believe the tariff is and will be the greatest paramount coat rolline issue of abe campaign this is a question that goes directly to the homes and fi resides of the whole american people east and west north and uth we californians believe that protection walks hand in hand with patriotism and prosperity what tho prostrate and almost helplessly ruined industries dus tries oi this country want is the return of the republican party to power and tha restoration of a genuine american protective tariff and it is because cali for niang look upon mckinley as the personification ol 01 protection and it is because of ills close identification with the protective tariff that california is for maior mckiniry for president M II 11 de young of california had this to say the delegates from the dilver states are very determined in their desire 0 o advance the interests of silver they want the right to have free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 some of them are very radical and talk of leaving the convention in case they faillo have their views adopted this action will not be general it is generally known that colorado under the leadership of teller promises to walk out of tha convention the silver men especially in colorado montana and other states chere silver is an important factor think that if teller should be nominated by the democratic party in chicago there would be no question of his endorsement indorsement indor by the two conventions that inset in st lous on july that is the silver party convention and the populist party in fact it is an understanding der standing already made and agreed to that both of these conventions will in dorsa the nomination ot teller I 1 think if teller leaves the convention montana and idaho will promptly follow utah aa a whole will not A 0 cleveland national committeeman from navada was one of tha arrivals this afternoon we are here he said to feht to the bitter end tor silver we expect defeat but we shall fight just the same it party docs no hins for us they must expect defeat in nevada the nevada dt legation I 1 foil sure will remain in the convention there is nothing to be gained by starting a third party if the gold standard is adopted liere and free silver men win at chicago the result will ba an over ming victory for the in novada Nov jda r II 11 lannan publisher 01 the salt lake tribano Tri bans is a auest ot the southern and while not a delegate is much interested in abo convention we are or free airs last and all the time said mr lannan this evening aha people hero in ali ast have a much mistaken idea 0 us out there in tho west they regard our silver ideas as ones but I 1 assure you they aro not it costs about 12 a ton to mino and treat silver whereas it coats only a ton to do tho earns for gold let us pass the comamo of silver measure and business fiill revive all over tho country idle labor will be employed and hard times will be n thing of the past this docs not apply only in utah colorado and other pacific coast states but to every state in the union lion 0 J salisbury of utah also talked silver the utah delegation ho eaid is solid for silver of course we purpose doing the very best we can for tho white metal in the convention but wo hopes of accomplish ing anything the party seems determined to commit itself to the gold standard I 1 a declaration tor gold is made the democrats will carry tho state without difficulty tho republicans have a normal majority of from 2000 to but that would be wiped out entirely among the late arrivals was ex gov arnor powell clayton of arkansas he is firmly of the opinion that mckinley will win on tho first ballot and thought the only matter upon which there could bo speculation was the platform 1 I favor the present monetary standard and only such limitation on the coinage of silver money as will be necessary to maintain silver at a parity with gold the present ratio of 32 to 1 should be maintained and supported the national committee will meet tomorrow at 12 and will then decide upon the names of the temporary officers they will also take up the coni tests so far as settling sett lina them for the preliminary roll 0 W fairbanks of indiana ex go arnor of minnesota and george A knight of california also proctor of vermont have been mentioned for temporary chairman that part of cali fornias delegation now here will inaugurate a boom for ulysses S grant for the vice presidency george A knight of san francisco will place grant in nomination it is predicted that unbounded enthusiasm will follow the oratorical effort which is sure to associate father and son and play to the grand army sentiment sergeant at arms barnos gave out tho following for publication tomorrow much inquiry having been made relative to the extent of the damage done to alie convention hall by the cyclone I 1 think it proper to inform the public that the damage has been entirely repaired and that the hall is as good as it was before the great storm everything is in readiness tor the convention the assistants have nearly all been selected and they will report at the office of the sergeant al arms in the auditorium building on monday the 15 at 10 a m arg M wiswell of wisconsin first assistant sergeant at arms will under the general supervision of the sergeant at arms direct the work of all employed emp loyes in and around the auditorium no commissions will be forwarded they will be handed to the appointees individually at the time and place above mentioned and on abo same day the tickets of admission to the convention will be issued by the sergeant at arms at room no in the odd fellow building on olive street between eighth and ninth streets T geant at arms the finishing touches to the auditorium were put on today the por tibits of general grant and admiral farragut were put up yesterday yet erday the great naval commander looks down on the members of the convention on tho gallery railing at the east end of the hall directly opposite is a portrait of gen phil sheridan representing the army the still greater leaders lincoln and grant are on the two sides the first almost directly over the speakers stand and grant at the center of the south gallery opposite hugher than all juet above lincoln is washington each 13 surrounded by american flags some have wondered why aberman Kb erman who lived and was buried in st louis and who sheridan when he retired from the army was not selected instead 0 the latter for one of the four places of honor with washington the answer is that the local committee desired to have the cavalry as well as the infantry represented absence of pictures and mottoes representing leaders of the republican party of today is noticed the omission was intentional the local committee supposed to be tinctured mckin was placed under restrictions in this matter here is one of the clauses of the contract con by chairman kencaid Ken card a democrat by the way and his colleagues the citizens committee of st louis agrees to furnish to the republican national committee a hall of the seating capacity of or more handsomely and properly
