WASHINGTON NEWS.
WILL MEAN GOLD, IF
DOES
NOT SAY IT.
The National Republican Platform,
President and Cuban Resolutions.
Bond Issue Investigation. First
McKinley Delegate.
Journal Bubeau,
Washington, D. C, June 15.
It seems difficult to understand why so
many people claim to be in doubt about
the financial plank which tho St. Louis
convention, which meets to-morrow and
Inch v: ill probably sit tbe greater part
of the week, will adopt. Some of those
who have expressed donbts have unques-
ionably done so for eflcct. There has
never been the slightest doubt about the
meaning of tbe financial part of that plat
form. The Republican party is the fatlur
of the present financial system of the
country, which is without specific decla
ration to that effect based on tbe gold
standard of value, aud there lias never
been any good reason to suppose, not
withstanding the extreme views of indi.
viduals, that the party would repudiate
Is offspring. Tbe wording of the St
Louis finaucial plank will doubtless differ
from that adopted at Minneapolis four
years ago. but its meauiug will be the
same the maintenance of the present sys.
tern, and especially tbe present standard
ol value, I'll miss my guess if Hie word
old ' is used in that platform, but it
will mean gold all the same.
Public interest in the St. Louis coiv
venlion has prevented an extraordinary
seuii-oflicinl statement issued by the De
partment of State from -receiving the
attention it deserves. This statement,
which must have excited the wonder ot
the world's diplomats, said in effect that
relident Cleveland had no intention of
taking any action concerning Cuba, add
that he was ulu-.ighty glad that Congress
had not compelled him to do something
by adopting the joint resolution so ear
nestly pleaded lor by Senator Morgan
uriug the last hours of Congress. Ex
traordinary as this statement wes, tbe
explanation attached thereto was eveu
more so. It said that President Cleve
land was averse to signing the Morgan
resolution because the Spanish minister
bad told him tbat to do so would make
war with Spain inevitable, and that he
was averse to vetoing it because that
would ojake bun appear to le slapping
the overwhelming sentiment of tbe coun
try in favor of Cuba in the face. It has
been expected ever since this statement
was made public that it would be repud
iated by the President and saddled upon
some minor official who had spoken
without authority, but as no repudiation
has beeu made it is now accepted as offi
cial, although it is humilatlog in the ex
treme to do BO.
The Senate sub-committee began its in
vestigation of the boud issues today. The
first wiiii ss heard was Secretary Carlisle,
who wns rigidly cross questioned con
cerning some of the statements contained
in his wat'.en answer to the committee, us
well as about things omitted from that
statement. J. P. Morgan, the N. Y.
banker who is credited with having pro
filed largely by all of tbe bond issues, will
also testify.
It seems tbat Hon. Win. P. Pierce, hns
a valid right to claim to have been the
first McKinley delegate to tbe Republican
National Convention, as bo was on the
10th of Feb, 1896, elected a delegate from
tbe third Georgia disltict as a McKinley
man, and it was also upon his motion
that tbe other delegates from that district
wete instructed for McKinley.
Ex-Representative Byoum, of Iud., who
has been making administration, gold
standard speeches in his own and other
states, dropped into Washington several
duys ago and remained long enough to
say that he had found the strength of the
silver movement in Ind. to be revolution
ary, being indorsed by all classes snd eon
ditions of men, lie added tbat if the
Chicago convention adopted a 18 to
silver platform, be did oat believe, any
thing could prevent the State going dem
ocratio In Novcmlcr. Ilia talk received
moie attention that It otherwise won'd
because it involved an acknowledgment oi
personal defeat for bimsell. Mr, Bynutn
was once a silver man, and is known as a
Cleveland convert to gold. .
Had either Senator Allison or (Speaker
Reed considered that tbey bad even a re
mote chance to win in the St. Louis con-
veotioo, they would not have been in
such a big hurry to get away from Wash
ington alter Congress adjourned. Speak,
ei Bed wilt get the news of the Conven.
Una somewhere between Washington and
his home, towards which ho is traveling
by .sy stage, and Senator Allison will
get It it his Iowa home, whither lio bas
gone direct. . Although tbe Speaker's
fritnds knew tbat be was beaten more
than a month ago, they speak very bit
terly of what they call "Manlcy's treach
ery" to him at St Louis. Numerous
attempts were made to Ret Mr. Reed to
express his opinion of Mr. Manley't ac
tion, but all of them tailed. There
little doubt, however, os to what he
thinks of Manley. In fact, It is said.
