No Agreement Reached as Regards the Vice Presidency. KANSAS CITY. July 3—A conference of the three political parties was held at the Kansas City Cludb to-day. From the Demo- cratic party there was Jones of Arkansas, Tiliman of South Carolina, Croker of New York and Johnson of Kansas; from the Populists there was Edmiston of Nebras- ka _Weaver of lowa, Pettigrew of South Dakota, Allen of Nebraska and Heitfeld of Idaho: of the Silver Republicans there were Teller of Colorado, Dubois of Idaho and Newlands of Nevada. Other repre- | sentatives of the different parties were resent. The object of the meeting was form the basis of an agreement be- tween the three ailied parties as to a Vice Presidential candidate. The conference resulted practically in a decision to incorporate a specific declara- tion for the free colnage of silver at the ratio of 1§ to 1 in the Democratic plat- form. No agreement was reached on the Vice Presidency.

To-day’s session of the monetary league | also attracted some attention. mainly | through Mr. Towne's speech severely ar-| raigning his old associates of the Repub- | lean ty and declaring that the record | in Cuba and the Philippines was one of T t disgraceful pages of American | history. But far more interesting than the for-| mal business of the day has been the wing intensity of feeling over the plat- 'orm and the Vice Presidential candidate. The most remarkable feature of the sit. uation is the sudden shift of sentiment since yesterday, when the dominating in- fluence of Mr Bryan was everywhere manifest. whereas to-day many delega- tions took formal action against a specific | 18 to 1 declaration, which is supposed t be Mr. Bryan's sine qua non. The move- ment took form early in the day among some of the most Influential men of the | party, not through any spirit of opposi- tion to Mr. Bryan. but because they be- | lieved the overwhelming sense of the dele- | gates was favorable to a simple reaffirma- | tiow of the Chicago platform. without a specific declaration for 1§ to 1—that is a conservative instead of a radical financial | latform. As explained by one of these | jeaders. a man foremost in the munselal of the : “We have nothing authoritative before | us showing that Mr. Bryan insists upon | the 16 to 1 declaration.

The Florida caucus fe soon after by instructing its platform member, Mr. Gibbons, to oppose a specific plank of 16 to 1, and then work for a reaffirmation of the Chicago plat form.
