SPEECH OF C. W. FAIRBANKS
A Severe Arraignment of the Demo
cratic Party Scenes at the Open
ing of the Convention Piatt Says
Mr. Morton Will Hot Accept tee
ViC3 -Presidency.
St. Louis, Mo., June 16. The first
day's session of the eleventh national
Republican convention, which opened
(shortly alter noon today In the hall
erected for that purpose by the patriot
ic citizens of St. Louis, was unrelieved
by a single incident to lift the interior
proceedings above the level of dull and
uninteresting monotony which charac
terized the exterior of the building.
There was an immense assemblage, a
great waving of fans In a torrid hour or
so of prepared oratory, the deliverance
of which fulled to reach more than one
fifth of the vast auditorium; and a
prompt adjournment to awalf the re
ports of the committees on credentials
and platform. Other committees were
of course appointed, but theBe two were
the only ones upon which public Inter
est centered.
The credentials committee early made
manifest a purpose to pass most of the
night i" a discussion of the Delaware
taOMAS C. PIATT.
and Texas cases, which were specifical
ly referred to their adjudication by the
national committee. In each of thCEe
cases the delegates-at-large had been
excluded, the national committee being
unwilling to decide between the con
tending factions. In the Delaware case
Senator Thurston's open denunciation
of Mr. Addicks complicated matters.
In the T?xas contest was involved the
legitimacy of the new "Lily White"
movement which Is perplexing Republi
can organizations in the south. The
action of the committee In Betting apart
three hours and a half tonight for the
coriBldr ration of these cases is taken as
an indication that it will confine its at
tention to matters specifically referred
to it and let the other contests stand as
settled by the national committee.
, THIS PROGRAMME.
Prophesying is a risky profession In
connection with a body which has al
ready undergone so many lightning
changes us have come over the.couiau
of this convention, but this seems to be
the programme. That Is to say, to Ce
clde the Delaware and Texas cases and
the few disputed district cases In Now
York, California and some other states
which have been In turns referred to
the credentials committee by the na
tional committee and then by a sweep
ing omnlbu3 resolution to adopt the
temporary roll call as the permanent
cne In all other contestants. Such a
plan, if adopted, will of course elicit
stiong opposition from dissatisfied con
testants, but as few of them will have
spokormen on the Hoor of the conven
tion they will-probably have to air their
grievances on the outside:"" .
The platform committee conducted Its
labors behind closed doors and did not
permit the privileged reporters of the
United Press to listen to Its delibera
tions, which undoubtedly were vastly
more Interesting than anything said be
fore the credentials committee.
Aside from the work of these com
mittees, the curious movement started
to force Levi P. Morton Into the position
of tull to McKlnley' kite before his
nurne has even been laid before the
convention for the higher office to which
his state has nominated htm, engrosses
attention. The fact in this matter,
carefully verified, seems to be about as
follows:
Certain New York Republicans (not
however,- Mr. Piatt) have repeatedly
visited Mr. Hanna's headquarters to
day to solicit that gentleman's co-op
eration In bringing about the nomina
tion of Governor Morton. Mr. Hanna
In turn questioned these gentlemen as
to their knowledge of Governor Mor
ton's Intention. He referred them to
the governor's telegram to Mr. Depew
on Saturday last In which he stated,
without qualification, that he would
not take the second place on the ticket.
In these circumstances Mr. Hanna de
sired to know what reason these gentle'
men had for believing that Governor
Morton had so suddenly shifted his
posttlon. '
To these Inquiries a frank reply was
made. They had no assurances from
Governor Morton that be would accept,
but they wera so satisfied he vnuld not
decline the honor. If It were given to
him, that they felt no hesitancy In se
curing his nomination, knowing that he
would not run counter' to the conven
m
fit
WW W
tlon's wishes. Mr. Hanna thereupon In
formed his visitors that he was taking
no hand In the contest for the vice
presidency. He was here, he said, to
nominate Mr. McKlnley as president In
this view of the case he did not think it
advisable to embarrass his candidate's
chances by taking part In the contest
over the second place. lie did not hes
itate to say, however. that so far as his
Individual preference was concerned It
Inclined to Mr. Hobart, of New Jersey.
IN TUB HANDS OF FRIEND8.
It was openly stated this evening that
Mr. Piatt was In receipt of a dispatch
from Governor Morton which said In ef
fect that so far as the vice-presidency
was concerned, he was In the hands of
his friends, but in which he failed to
declare In so many words what action
he would take if the convention should
nominate him. Information reached
the United Press this evening that some
t.Evi r. hoijtos.
or Mr. Morton's friends who have been
working up an Interest In his behalf
today cabled Mrs. Morton, who Is In
Europe, t use her Influence with the
governor to take the second place. Her
reply, received at a l?.te hour t'i's af
ternoon, contained an emphatic nega
tive, the substance of thu dispatch be
ing that she wished him i.i uute um
first place or none.
The New York McKlnley men with a
view of forestalling any fnvorable ac
tion that the convention rnlKht take re
specting Morton and the vice-presidency,
drew up a paper this afternoon
which was being circulated tonhjht for
signatures. It does not mention Gov
ernor Morton by name, but It protests
against the factional quarrels of New
York being carried Into the convention
n:id condemns the unwisdom of select
ing the vice-president from New York.
Hut an apparent quietus was appar
ently put upon all this gossip tonight by
Mr. Chauncey Depew, who, as Governor
Morton's sponsor, would have been
placed In a most embarrassing position
If he had been called upon to waste his
eloquent periods In plnclng Mr. Morton
In nomination for one high office while
the governor's alleged friends were ac
tively Bushing him for another office
of lesser dignity. Mr. Depew tele
irrached Governor Morton, stating that
It had been asserted that he had re
scinded his tologram of declination and
was now willing to accept second plnce
ona asking him if this was so. To this
Mr. Depew received the following ex
plicit reply:
Rh!nerl!ff. N. Y.. Jiinn 111.
Hon. Chauncey II. Depew, Southern Ho
tel, St. Louis:
Telegram received. Stories rlreiilatf.1
are unfounded. Have rescinded nothing.
L. P. Morton.
As a commentary upon this dispatch
Mr. Depew repeated the remark he
made to a United Press reporter this
morning when the rumors about Mr.
Morton's vice presidential aspirations
were brought to his attention.
"How often must a man sav a thl is
before ho is to be believed? Must ho
say it every day and keep on saying It
inuennueiy '
Governor Morton being out of the wav
the contest for the vice-presidency nar
rows aown to fllr.Hobart.of New Jersey,
and Mr. Evans, of Tennessee. At Mc
Klnley's headquarters it wns stated to
night that either of these two men will
be satisfactory, and the vote of Ohio
will probably be divided among them.
THE FORMAL OPENING.
Chairman fatter Cnlls Convention to
Order--UuiitrN Transacted.
St. Louis, Mo June 10. At 12.20 Sen
ator Carter, chairman of the Republi
can national convention, called the con
vention to order. By this time all thP
seats of the delegates and nearly half
of the gallery space were filled.
The chaplain. Rabbi Sale, opened
with prayer, the whole assemblage
standing as the chaplain invoked the
divine benediction as follows:
Gracious Father, fountain of life and
light, we seek Thy nresence anil .inni..ra

CLEVELAND TALKS
TO INTERVIEWERS
Does Not Think the Democratic Party
Unpatriotic or Foolish.
HE DISCUSSES THE SITUATION
Believes the Cause of Sound Money
Worth Fighting For, and Advises
Void Democrats to Htiiuululo Ac.
tivityIs Proud of Democracy's
Achievements.
Washington, June 16. President
Cleveland today made the following re
ply to a representative of the New York
Herald who asked of the president a
statement concerning the Democratic
situation. Mr. Cleveland said:
I have made no figures as to the pro
bable action of delegates already chosen
or to be qhosen to the Democratic na
tional convention, but I refuse to be
lieve that w hen the time .arrives for de
liberate action there will be engrafted
upon our Democratic creed a demand
for the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver. I cannot believe this
because I know the Democratic party
Is neither unpatriotic nor foolish and
because It seems bo clear to me that
such a course will Inlllct a very great
Injury upon every Interest of our coun
try, which It h.is been the mission of
Democracy to advance and will result
In lasting disgrace to our party organi
sation. There Is little hope that as a
means of success this free Ellver propo
sition, after its thorough discussion
during a political campaign, will attract
a majority of the voters of the country.
It must be that many of the Illusions In
fluencing these now relying upon this
alleged panacea for their His will be
dispelled before the time comes for them
to cast their ballots which will express
their sober second thought. The adop
tion by the Democracy of this proposi
tion, I believe, would give to our op
ponents an advantage in the present
and future which they do not deserve,
ATTACHMENT TO DEMOCRACY.
"My attachment to true Democracy Is
so strong that I consider its success as
Identical with the promotion with the
country's good.
"This ought sufficiently account for
my anxiety that no mistake be made
at our party convention. In my opinion
no effort should be spared to secure such
action of the delegates as will avert
party demoralization.
"It Is a place for consultation and
comparison of views and those Demo
crats who believe In the cause of sound
money should there be heard and be
constantly In evidence.
"A cnuse worth fighting for Is worth
fighting for to the end. If sound money
Democrats suppose there Is danger of a
mistake being made such danger Bhould
stimulate their activity In averting It
Instead of creating discouragement.
"I am very far from arrogating to my-
self a controlling inlluence upon the
policy of my party; but as an unflinch
ing Democrat, who has been honored
by his party and who desires hereafter
no greater political privilege than to oc
cupy the place of private in Its ranks,
I hope I -may not be blamed for saying
this much at this time, in the Interest,
as it seems to me, of the grand old or
ganizations, so rich In honorable 'tra
ditions, so Justly proud of its achieve
ments and always so undaunted and
brave In Its battles for the people's wel
fare." IT WILL BE NO WATERLOO.
Major McKinlcy Hits Faith in the
Ilrptiblicnn Success.
Canton, Ohio, June 16. While talking
this afternoon about the probable
length of the convention and the day
on which the nomination would be
made. Major McKlnley exploded an
other story based upon his alleged su
perstition. Soipe one had said that he
did not want the nomination to be made
on Thursday because that would be tho
lxth Inst., the anniversary of the battle
of Waterloo. When this was brought
to his attention, the major said:
"I don't know but what that would be
a good day for the nomination to be
made. Whatever may occur. It won't
be the Waterloo of the Republican par
ty." RESERVOIR COLLAPSE.
Catastrophe at Baker City in Which

AN ATROCIOUS CRIME.
Milton Wells Murders Miss Jennie Wal
ters in Fiendish Way No
Motive tor the Deed.
Elkhart, Ind., June 16. An atrocious
murder was committed In this city last
night, the victim, Mlvs Jennie Walters
dying this morning In agony. Milton
H. Wells, the accused murderer. Is In
the county Jail at Goshen and refuses
to talk about the crime. The two fami
lies live In adjoining houses and both are
prominent members of the community.

tem statement, Wells, who recently be
came a widower, called her to his house
last night and when she entered he

wards. Then he Is accused of firing
two bullets from his revolver at the
burning woman. One ball grazed the

her chin, breaking the Jawbone, knock
ing out several teeth and lodging in
the back of her head. The young wo
man fell, but regained her feet and es
caped to the veranda of her home.
where she fell exhausted, bleeding and
ablaze. The flames were quickly
smothered by persons who were at
tracted by the shooting and screams of
the victim. Wells stood by indifferent
to her fate and apparently satisfied.
In some unknown way Wells' house at
the same time began to burn and the
rear part was destroyed before the de
partment could quench the flames. Af
ter Miss Walter's death the exciting
talk of lynch law became so prevalent
mat wells was quietly removed to
Goshen. No motive for the murder
was assigned by Miss Walters.

(Spanish Cortes in SessionEscape
of the Lauruda.
Washington, June 16. The Spanish
minister, Depuy de Lome, has gone to
Lenox, Mass., for the summer. The en
tire stnff of the legation and the minis
ter's family accompany him.
It Is the .understanding In diplomat lo
circles here that the military opera
tions in Cuba will be suspended to a
large extent during the summer months,
owing to the prevalence of, continual
rains, which make campaigning diffi
cult and dangerous.
Hopes are expressed among officials
that peace may be restored as a result
of the change of heart among a certain
class of young enthusiasts In the Insur
gent ranks. Concessions of autonomy
and home rule are to be made mainly
with a view to reconciling this class.
The Spanish cortes has been In ses
sion for a number of weeks, but as yet
has not reached the Cuban question ow
ing to the length of time required to
organize. It is expected that there will
be early and favorable action taken on
the plans outlined In the speech from
the throne, for giving home rule to Cuba
on a far wider scope than has been
previously suggested.
LAURADA ESCAPES.
Philadelphia, June 16. The filibuster
ing steamship Laurada has escaped the
fire of hostile Spanish gunboats and is
once more in friendly waters. The
famous little fruit steamer passed in
the Delaware capes late this afternoon
and Is now on her way up the Delaware
river to this city, where she will arrive
tomorrow morning.
The last time the Laurada was re'
ported she was skirting the shoes of the
Island of Jamaica within the three mile
limit and a Spanish gunboat was fol
lowing parallel with her and awaiting
me moment she should get out of Eng'
itsn waters to open fire on her. The
Laurada undoubtedly proved too fast
for the Spaniard and left him behind
before she was compelled to take to
the open sea.
