The Defeated Candidate for State Chair man of Republican Comrcitt.e Ob jects to Manner of Elkin's Election. Philadelphia, July 19.-Frank Will Ins Leach, former chairman of the Re publican state executive coinniltteee, and recently a candidate against Dep uty Attorney tieueral John P. Ulkln to succeed Senator (Juuy for the chairman of the general state committee, has written to Ids successor, ex-Speaker Henry K. Hover, protesting against the manner of Mr. Klkin's election as state chairman and asking .Mr. Uoyer to call a meeting of the state committee to elect Mr. Klkln. In conclusion Mr. Leach says: "Permit me to add. In con clusion, that I am not a candidate for the position in question, and that I would not accept a unanimous election. Although two-thirds of the delegates to the late state coin em ion were opposed to the election of Mr4 Flkin to the chairmanship. I have no doubt (lie state lommiltee will be happy to five him a unanimous vote if culled together for this put pose. I certainly shall be pleased to vote for him. I um not ob jecting o tiie selection recently made, but to the manner of It." Mr.. Leach submits with Lis leltei an opinion by John . Johnson, the emi nent lawyer of this city, that the state chairman should tie selected by the state committee. Mr. Johnson's opinion fol lows: "I am uu vised that the Republi can ptirty r"uie applicable to the election of :i chairman of the Republican state committee reads us follows, and that there Is no context affect ins the mat ter: 'The chairman of the state com mittee shall be elected by I he candi dates nominated ai the state conven tion uiul the permanent chairman there of us soon as practical after the ad journment of the slate convention, and shall hold Ills olili e Until his successor Is elected.' "1 am advised that at the state con vention held on the :::M instant the fol lowing resolution was adopted: Resell i I, That the rule which provides thai the chairman f the suite i oniaill lee sJiall lie chosen by lie uoiiiii.etrs uu toe slutc lii ket iu conjunction with tiie p. r itKincnt chaninaii of lie coiiveiilloii li sii.-tilni l, ami Hi -it tiie state chairman b) elceli-ll by tliij convention.

In case c'f Mr. (juuy's lesignution at any time pilot- lo the niecling of the next stale con v.-nl iun. the vacancy In the chair manship of the slate .committee will lie tilled. "It is Very evident that the party rule contemplutesaii election of a chair man almost immediately after the ud j jin iiiiunt of the convention of a qiiusl tiansltory bod, candidates who may soon cease to be such and u permanent cbuiimaii of the convention, whose functions would oidiuuiily have ceased With the life ii the convention itself, in my judgment there has been no pro vision for the i niilliigeucy of a vacan c). I cannot think It was intended that in case of same, persons wjio may .have ceased to be candidates should till it. In my opinion, the power vested in the candidates uiul in the permanent chair man unless legally restricted. Is the I'uwtl- tu elect Its own ollleers. including a chairman. In iny opinion, therefore, the state committee Itself, In case of .Mr. Quay's resigna tion, will have power to till the vacancy until the meetint; of the next conven tion."

Tomorrow Major McKirlcy expects to go to Cleveland, and it is not probable that he will return to Canton before Thursday afternoon.

The situation to night Is Bryan and anti-Bryan, or more strictly speaking, liryan against some member of the Populist party yet to be named. Not more than :100 of the I.3O0 delegates to the Populist convention have arrived and these are Individual members who constitute the advance guard of a number of delegates from the south and west. It Is yet too early to predict with reasonable certainty what decision the convention may reach, but from the surface indications today It would appeur that the senti ment for Hryait will be very strong, if, indeed, his friends be not In a majority when the roll is culled. It is a curious fact that some of the southern Populists have been converted from free traders to extreme protec tionists through their alillllutloiis of the late years with the Republicans. While some of the men place silver ubove the nutiouul Issue, there are others unwill ing to give their support to a tariff re former, but say as between two, they would prefer McKinley. Generally speaking, however, "Cyclone" Davis, the Texas member of the national com mittee, says there are only live states in the union that the Democrats can carry without the aid of the Populists, and they are Louisiana, Arkansas. Mis sissippi, Florida and South Carolina. There wus talk today of a bolt If ftiyan be nominuted. They do not hesi tate to say, however, thut a bolt would lose lo the sllvetites the electoral votes of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabuma, und Florula. und certainly result iu the elec tion of McKinley. There is but one thing the anti-Bryan men fear, that is a possibility that some one may make a ringing speech, full of allusions to the boy orator of the Platte and his loin? devotion to silver, thut muy sweep the convention oil' It's feet and bring about his nomination In a whirlwind of en thusiasm even us Kryan himself suc ceeded in doing nt Chicago, less than a fortnight ago. In such event, the list of malcontents might be so reduced us to make a bolt impossible, but this Is not expected. Inquiries among the Ala buma, Georgia, Tennessee und Texas delegations tonight discloses the fact that under no circumstances will they accept llryuu und Sew all us the head of Ihe ticket. They go so far as to say thut if the convention either endorses or noiniuutes Bryau and Sewall, they w ill bolt uud hold another convention. They will adopt the Omaha platform und will nominate men for president and vice president -who are uncompro misingly middle of the rotuMPopullsts, und w ho will be able to secure at least SU per cent, of the voting; strength of the party.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 19. The In dluiiupolls Democrats held a ratification meeting lust night which was presided over by Governor Matthews. There wan about 2,000 people In. the audience and Governor Matthews was given an ovation when he wuh introduced by Chairman, Holt, of the State Central committee. Holt has been a gold Dem ocrat, but declared from the platform that they were all Democrats and bowed to the majority. Governor Mat thews said In part: "I assure you there la no room for feelings of regret, discontent or dls aotisfuotton. The platform adopted and the ticket selected are both good and to both 1 give and will continue to give my cheerful allegiance and most earnest support." Speaking of the character ot the con vention he said: "It was not a gathering of anarchists, traitors repudlators or sectlonallsts, as our Republican friends In the freusy of fear proclaim, but a coming together of patriots, alarmed for the welfare of their country; of honest, earnest men. LUima.ted by a greaX cause aiul of AmeriuHJi citizens and their rights and liberties, determined to maintain them. It is this year supremely the people's light, their struggle against the most miserable and debasing enslavement thut can be conceived by men, "In spite of the nearly solid opposi tion of the metropolitan press of the en tire country, notwlthstandidng the un grateful crusade against it by certain hired men, professing to be Democrats, aye, even claiming to be Democratic leaders, but In truth Hessians hi the camp; In spite ef the crowds of alarm ists, or sordid appeals, of avarice and greed, the great country has grown and will continue to grow." Senator Turple, and W. R. Meyers, ex-secretary of state, also spoke. The lutter was on Of the leaders of the gold faction. He had, he explained, changed his vtews to agree with the majority. In the course of his speech he declared that they would send Matthews to the Senate for the next six years, saying nothing about Voorhees. , THE VENEZUELAN; CONTROVERSY. A Sensation in the Dispute Will Be Due is a Duy or Two. Washington. July 19. Something of a sensation In the Venesuelan dispute Is expected in a day or two, possibly to morrow, when a retort to the Pollock argument which prefaced the British blue book Is delivered to the commis slon and made public simultaneous In this country and England. Up to this time the agents of the Caracas govern inent have contented themselves with piling up evidence before the Venezue lan commission and pointing out the numerous Inconsistencies and false de ductlons In the British caBe, but since the distinguished Boston lawyer, James J. Storrow, has become associated with counsel Scruggs In Venezuela's behalf the case has been whipped Into legal shape and a brief has been prepared which Is understood to handle Lord Sal isbury. Prof. Pollock and the other British lawyers and delegates without gloves. It is said that Mr. Storrow has utter ly demolished the vital points of the British contention and turned Prof. Pollock's favorite arguments directly agulnst Lord Salisbury's pretentions, In his few months' conneotion with the case its entire conduct has beeen changed from one of defence to that of most vigorous agggreselveness. TROUBLE IN WISCONSIN. Believed That a Gold Democratic State Tic' et Will Ue Supported. Milwaukee, Wis., July lit. General Edward S. Bragg. Senator Vilas, James J. Hogan and James G. Flanders, the delegates at large frum this state to the Chicago convention, held a confer ence yesterday and Issued a declaration explaining the action of the delegation iu not voting in the convention. As a result of the meeting it Is cer tain that the gold Democrats of Wis consin will put a ticket in the Held In the state election, regardless of the bolters In other states. General Btagg Is about the only one uf the leaders who still believes that the gold men of the state will be able to control the Demo cratic state convention to be held Sep tember 5. J. J. llopan expressed the sentiments of the mujoiity -when he said: "I believe the sentiment of a large proportion of the Democrats of the state is in favor of a new ticket, and it Is probable one will be put In the field." In the statement which waa Issued and which Is signed by nineteen dele gates to the Chicago convention, refer ence Is made to a mass meeting or a convention of the gold men to take ac tion to repudiate the Chicago platform and nominees.
