The attendance of visitors has been ap

The day was opened with a 4 o'clock

PROTEST FROM LEACH.
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

itKincnt chaninaii of lie coiiveiilloii li

committee. 1 am asked now. 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." HATAL STABBING

Major McKinley will tnis week leave

In upon him he would have had Scarce
ly an hour at home since the St. Louis
convention.
Tomorrow Major McKirlcy expects to
go to Cleveland, and it is not probable
that he will return to Canton before
Thursday afternoon. His promise to
tutu Cleveland to tuke part In the ceti
tiliolal exercises is of long standing,
and the occasion is one of dignity and
Importance, the purpose of It being to
observe in a litlin way the one hun
dredth uiinlversary of the settlement of
the western reserve. Wednesday Is
founder's day. und on that day the for
mal Inaugural ceremonies occur. Major
.McKinley has not been to Cleveland lo
remain longer than a few hours for
some Weeks and he feelsi that he ought
to spend a few days among his host of
urd-'iit friends In Unit city. There will
be a great many people In Cleveland,
too, this week, from all parts of tiie
country, and Major McKinley will want
to talk lo some of them on matters re

After p.iitlcipatlng in the public

Major McKinley will go lo Alliance on
the day following to spend a few hours

Major McKinley does not propose, if

Jcr McKinley's managers in looking
over the list of available speakers llnd
that they have more than fifty men of

POPULISTS ASSEMBLE.
Advance Guard of the SL Louis Conven
tion Is on the Ground Bryan
Popular with Delegates.
St. Louts. July 19. 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.

ckisL, Truilort or Kepudlalors.
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

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.
