gress yesterday that tho members of tho
committeo aro beginning tofeol that there
is danger 01 very groat prolongation 01
their work. There aro consequently many
suggestions as to tho necessity of finding
a moans or reducing tho time. Up to 11
o'clock lost night tho committeo. after sit
ting for twolvo hours, had decided contests
affoctlng fifty suats In tho convention.
Those Included tho four delogates-nt-largo
from each of tho states of Mississippi nnd

from Collfornla, Alabama, Kentucky,

This immediately stnrtod a great deal of
gossip, anil among tho rumors that were
nlloat was one to tho effect that Mr. Illlss
wii's" to be pushed for tho vlco presidency,
nnd that, although ho had stated long ago
that ho could not accept tho nomination,
ho would bo prevailed upon to take tho
second phico in order to strengthen the
ticket In Now York. This rumor had a
runnlngmato in ono which stated that tho
Information had been obtained saying that
Governor Morton would accopt the second
place, and that Mr. Piatt had.bcen con
suited and said tho arrangement would bo
satisfactory.
Tho rumor has been started by those
who think tho McKlnley men, nowTiav-
lng full control of tho convention nnd
everything connected with it, nro under
tho necosslty of placating 0110 s-cction or
another ct the country, especially where
there have been disappointed presidential
candidates. Senator Gear, of Iowu, has
been glvcu second place in ono of those
wild sweops of tho Imagination, which has
conceived a necessity for placating the
stato of Iowa, because bonator Allison
could not Ihj nominated for president. Tho
fact appears that there aro a number ot
rathor eager aspirants for tho vlco pros!
deney, and for several of thorn there is
vory warm feeling in tho McKlnley camp,

Thero aro hundreds of forms of finan
cial planks for tho Hepubllcan national
platform at tho MoKinloy hondiiuartors In
St. Louis and in the hands of Molvlnley's
frlonds, who will largely determine what
tho platform shall bo. Moro thnn a weok
ago thero was sent out to tho newspapors
various forms of a financial plank and
Intimations mado that it was 11 form of
declaration which was wanted. This was
done for tho purposo of securing views and
financial planks from all sections, and
from people intorostcd In tho character of
tlio llnancial resolution. The result has
been as anticipated, and platforms havo
been comliiIn by letter and by telegraph
from every part of tho country. Tho Mo

unusual honor. Tho speaker closed tho
