A Denial of the Story That Colored Men Are Discriminated Against. St. Louis, June 10. Politicians great and smull, black and white and nil tho In termediate shades of complexion, from nil over tho Union, aro swarming Into this city. For tho last week they havo been dropping In at odd Intervals by ones nnd twos. But now they aro coming by tho car load, and It will bo a woek beforo thoy will havo all arrived. Although It Is al most, a week until tho Republican nationnl convention will bo called to order, thero is n vast amount of preliminary work to bo done Thoro aro scores of contests to bo argued beforo tho national commltteo, and added to this Is a vast deal of routlno work to bo done. It is given out hero ns "authentic" that C. W. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, la tho SEJfATOIl TnuiiSToy. choice of McKlnley and Hnnna for tem porary chairman of tho convention. Hon. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, will bo permanont chairman. This Is also declared to bo authentic. Theso selections como in tho nature of a surprise, as neither had been prominently mentioned durlug tho canvass for tho positions. James Cox, secretary of tho Business Men's league, donlod emphatically that tho negroos wore being illserljnlnanHl against. Ho saldthat Committeeman Hill, of Mississippi, had no right to complain If ho could not And hotel accommodations. A lotter had licon written to him moro than a month ago tolling him that unless early application was mado nil tho rooms at the hotels would bo takon. In this letter tho leaguo offered to engago rooms for Hill and tho Mississippi delegation, but ho did not not reply. "Furthermore," continued Mr. Cox, "Mr. Hill has not been to seo us slnco ho camo to tho city. If ho will como hero wo will find him good rooms and board. All this talk about tho color lino is nonsense. Wo mado tho promiso to tako caro of tho colored dele gates and will do so. If thoy will not como to tho commltteo to let us know that fhey desire rooms and accommodations, that Is not our fault." Tho finishing touchos of tho Auditorium wero mado yesterday. Tho portraits of General Grant aud Admiral Farragut were BEPUM.IOAN COXVEKTIOX UUILDIXO. put up on Monday. Tho groat naval com mander will look down on tho members of tho convention from tho gallery railing at the oast end of tho hall. Directly oppo site is a portrait of General Phil Sheridan, representing tho army. Tho still greater loadors, Lincoln ami Grant, aro on tho two sides, tho first directly ovor tho speakors' stand, and Grant at tho center of tho south gallory, opposite Higher than all, just above tho Lincoln portrait, is Wash ington. Kaeh is surrounded by American flags. Somo havo wondered why Shorman, who livodand was buried In St. Louis, and who outranked Sheridan when ho retired from tho army, was not selected, Instead of tho hitter, for ono of tho four placos of liouor with Washington. Tho answer is that the local committee desired to have the cavalry as well as tho Infantry repre sented. Tho absence of pictures and mot toos representing loaders of tho Itenubll- can party of today may Ira noticed. Tho omission was Intontionnl. Tho local oom mltteo, supposed to bo tinctured with Mo Klnloylsiu, was placed undor rostrlotlous In this matter, It boing stipulated that tho portrait of no living Kopubllcau should bo displayed, nor any Insignia or motto bo used calculated to advanco tho causo of any candidate for tho presidency. Probably no ling in tho Auditorium will attract moro attention and cnuso moro comment than that of tho Cuban Insur gents. It occupies a conspicuous placo, lu fact tho most conspicuous placo In tho en tire building. Tho colors of tho Cuban ro- publio can bo soon from any seat in tho gallory or dross circlo, nnd that is more than can bo said of any other national emhlom in tho building. Even tho presi dent's Hag or bnnnorjustiibovo tho Cuban colors, will not bo vlslblo to somo of tho occu punts of tho dross circlo. Thoro is already considerable discussion among tho dologatos and othor party load ers who havo arrived ns to tho probable course that will bo pursuod on tho fluan clul quostlon, mid It Is liooomlng ovldent that this question will rcceivo moro at tention than liny other In tho commltteo on resolutions and from tho delegatos gen erally. ThO possibility of a bolt by tho free sHyer advocates In caso of tho lncor- kJS " poratlon Of a plaint in tho platform Wnicn they will construe as unfriendly to silver Is discussed freely In tho hotel lobblos nnd by none moro so than by the silver men themselves, of whom thoro aro already several In tho city. Thoro has been no general conference among them, however, and will not bo until the arrival of Senators Teller, Du bois, Cannon and others, who are not ex pected to arrlvo until tho latter part of tins wceic or tno urst ot next. It is gath ered from thoso who aro already hero that tho disposition to bolt tho convention is confined to but very few. Ono of tho most prominent of tho silver delegates said to day that tho men from tho west felt that they had been elected by Republican con ntltuonelos to moot in convention to se euro nil they could for silver, but that thoy wero not authorized to bolt If thoy found thomsclvos in a minority, and that tho more thoy conferred tho moro gonoral was the opinion that thoy should stand by tho Republican organization. Among tho representatives from tho West tho namo of M. H. DaYoung, mem ber of tho national commltteo from Cali fornia and a strong advocate of f reo silver, Is already being urged lu connection with tho nomination for tho vico presidency. Regarding a possibly bolt Mr. DoYoung said: "Somo of tho wostorn dclogates aro very radical and talk about leaving tho convention in caso thoy fall to havo their vlows adopted. This action will not bo general. It Is generally known that Colo rado, under sho leadership of Tellor, pro poses to walk out of tho convention. Tho California delegation has been instructed for MoKinloy and freo silver. But our dologatlou does not intend to leavo tho party nor tho convention In caso of tho fulluro of that nature." Chairman Carter, of tho national Re publican committeo, arrived last night from Washington with soveral other mem bers who camo from tho cast. General Clarkson, tho member from Iowa, Is 111 nt Philadelphia and cannot bo at the moot ing. J. H. Manley, a member of tho commlt teo from Maine, who Is tho chief manager of Thomas B. Reed's campaign, also camo in last night. Ho said ho was not prepared to say how mnny votes Mr. Reed would got on tho first ballot. When askod If Mr. Reed would accept tho nomination for vico president ho nnswored: "Under no circumstances will Mr. Reed tako tho nomination for vico president. You can not make that too emphatic. Ho will have the first placo on tho ticket or none at all." Said a prominent Republican leader this morning: "Major McKinloy is a sound monoy man. Ho will bo nominated as such on tho first ballot. Thoro will bo no, humbug of an informal ballot, as some of tho autl-MoKinley peoplo are talking." This seems to bo tho general opinion among tho Itbpublloan leoders hero who hi.vo expired opinions.

THE PLEA OF INSANITY IS OFFERED William Euckanlvlzi, of Mahanoy City. Who Committed Suicide by Jumping in Front of a Train, Was the Person Holding the Policy. n interesting point of law will bo decided soon, arising from tho death of William Iiuckanlvizi, who committed suicide on Juno 1st by jumping in front of a Lehigh alley train in tho deep cut near Mahanoy City. Iiuckanlvizi was insured by tho Homo rricnuly Society of lialtiniore, Md his wifo holding a policy to tlio amount of about $:!00. Max Luwickl, tho West Coal street saloon keeper, is a brother of Mrs. lluckawivizi, and upon application to tho insuranco company for tho amount of the policy it is claimed payment was refused on tlio ground that tho man committed suicide. Tho only amount recoverable in caso of sulcido is tlio prem iums paid on tho policy. Tho wifo of tho deceased threatens to enter suit for tlio full amount of the claim, when tho question as to whether Iiuckanlvizi committed suicido will bo decided. It is alleged by tho rela tives of tho latter that ho was insano when tho deed was committed, and therefore not responsible for his act. Tho company's refusal to honor payment was in accordance with the provisions of their policy issued to tho deceased, and tho outcomo of tho caso will bo of much interest to policy-holders and insurance companies.
