St. Louis. Juno 13. It Is ccncraily be
lieved that tho declaration In favor of the
gold standard In tho Hopubilcan platform
win be very emphatic nnd unequivocal.
When tho men from tho cast roach St.
Louis they will llnd that tho closo friends
of Major McKlnley 1 -a ready to offer them
a financial plank that they can agree upon
without hosltuney. Sovoral drafts of n
platform havo been prepared, and it is now
believed that a form has been secured
which will bo satisfactory. It will doclare
against the f reo coinage of silver unless It
should be brought about by International
agreement. No ratio is mentioned, and In
this respect It is more acceptable to the
gold men. It will also declare that Ito
publicans are against tho debasement of
tho currency, and Is therefore in favor o

paper, and thnt tho standard of money
should bo, ns It always has boon and is
now, equal to that of tho most enlightened
nations or tho world.
Theso declarations embody tho wishes of
tho friends of Major McKlnley, and the
men who are now hero nppn vo them.
It Is probablo that tho National Leaguo
of Republican clubs will havo something
to say about tho vico presidential candl
date. Tho leaguo la largely for McKlnley,
but there Is a division or sentiment in re
gard to tho second place. Ex-Governor 1).
Ilussell Brown, of Hhodolsland.ls a mem
ber of 'tho leaguo In good standing and his
friends will put him forward as the right
man to eombino with McKlnloy on tho
national ticket. E. A. McAlpin, of Now
York, is tho president of the loaguo, and
naturally his friends are anxious to see
him honored. McAlpin it adjutant Ron
oral on tho staff of Governor Morton, of
Now York, and tho argument will bo ad
vaneed thut his nomination would ploasa
Morton.
Governor Morton seems to bo tho choico
of tho national commltteo, among all tho
Now York candidates, and if ho would ao
ccpt tho nomination there is somo reason
to bellevo that tho vice presidency would
bo held out to him by tho powers that bo,
provided that Uuuy's consent could bo so
cured. Tho friends of Garret A. Hobart,
of Now Jersey, claim that Quay Is com
inittcd to him, and there are surface hull
cations that give probability to this story.
Senator Quay, howovor, is very cautious
in making promlsos, und tho Hobart peo
ple may be counting their chlokensbeforo
they are hatched.
Quay may tako it into his head, for ox
ample, to namo Governor Hastings, of
f
i
II. CLAY EVANS.
Pennsylvania, for tho vico presidency
Leaving Hastings out of tho question, It
Is probablo that Quay, if ho had to chooso
botweon Hobart and a Now England man,
would soloet tho former. Henry C. I'ayno,
member of tho national committee for
Wisconsin, said In discussing tho situa
tion: "At present Hobart, of Now Jorsoy, has
tho load with thoso now hero. Wo cannot,
howovor, tell how it may bo when more
dolegatos arrive. Still Mr. Holiart Is gen
erally recognized as an available man,
who could easily carry Now Jorsoy for tho
Republican ticket this year."
Tho boom for H. Clay Evans, of Ten
nessee, has grown to a wonderful stzo.
Evans himself has mado no otlort to se
cure second place on tho McKlnley tldkot.
Ho has other plans in view, which would
make his acceptance of tho vice presiden
tial nomination Impossible.
Another candidate for second place on
tho tlckot is M. II. Do Young, of Califor
nia. Ho is a strong favorite among tho
freu sllvqr men of tho west. Ho has d,ono

If. HI 18 CONFIDENT
Has Formally Demanded an Official
Investigation of the Charges.
APPEARANCES ARE IN HIS FAYOR
Members of the Knoxvlllo School Board and
Many School Teachers and Business
People of the Place Write Strong
Letters In Bis Behalf.
Another chapter was yesterday added to
tho case of Prof, liogart, tho superintendent
elect of the local public schools, and appears
to bo of a character that will not please Mr.
Jiogert's accusers. Messrs. John J. 1'iico nnd
T. U. Bcddall, respectively tho president and
solicitor of tho School Board, spent yesterday
at Harrisburg and had a long talk over tho
caso with both Prof. Bogart and tho State
Superintendent. Tho latter lias been urged
to bring about a hearing of tho caso as soon
as possible, but it is not likely that the event
will tako placo before tho latter part of this
month, or first rart of July, owing to tho
Stato Superintendent's previous engagements;
nor has tho placo for tho investigation been
decided upon, although it is known thnt
either Harrisburg or Kuoxville will bo
selected.
Prof. Bogart formally demanded a hearing
on tho charges mado against him upon call
ing at tho Stato .Superintendents head
quarters last Saturday, and ho is determined
that a full investigation shall bo mado.
Neither Mr. Ilcddall nor Mr. Price would
speak ollicially In tho matter, but it can bo
assumed that they do not consider Prof.
Bogart's position in tho samo light that a
hasty consideration would put it. Prof.
Bogart again emphatically denied the charges
and has evidence, from Knoxvillo that seems
to fully exonerato him. Tho School Board
of Knoxvillo has sent a strong olllcial letter
in his behalf and it is Hanked by similar
letters from many leading merchants, school
teachers and others of Knoxvillo.
Another very essential point has developed.
Prof. Bogart's accusers havo studiously kept
before tho public a statement by ono of tho
newspapers concerned in tho matter that tho
Knoxvillo School Board demanded Prof.
Bogart's resignation, whereas it now appears
that tho resignation was novcr demanded,
that tho School Hoard adopted resolutions
honorably acquitting Prof, liogart of the
charges and also urged him to stay. It is
likely that tho Superintendent-elect will pay
a visit to town within tho uoxt few days.
