St. Louis, June 18. After a ten -hours session in torrid heat and dlstrossln.? noise the eleventh national Republi can convention nominated a ticket pre ordained from the first by the Ohio pclitical managers, who practically controlled the gathering and namod William McKlnley, of Ohio, and liar reU A. Hobart, of New Jersey, for presi dent and. vlco-preBldent, respectively, of the United States. No effort was put forth to carry out the much-talked-ot purpose of conferring the second place uron Governor Levi P. Morton. .Mr. Hobart went through on the first bal lut with many votes to spare, jus; as soon as the word was passed around, when McKlnley had teen eafaly '.and d, that McKlnley's friends desired the elect.on of Mr. Hobart. . . The chief supporters of the four un successful other candidates for the presidency, Senator Lodge for Reed; Representative Hepburn for Allison; Governor Hastings for Quay, and'Mr. Pepew for Morton, came out In il-tjing little speeches, moving- to make Mc K'.nys nomination unanimous an 2 pledging him the loyal support ct h Ir re' pectlve states.' When to these assur ances Mr. Piatt I added his personal promise of friendly co-oreratloi', tho cup u happiness of the McKlnlty rn;n was full. t ". '' " . Mr. Depew was at his best In moving to make McKlnley's nomination unanl mous. He happily said that he felt ha waa now nominating a winner. It was quite evident he did not feel In the same f-r.rc of nird rbon he rlaecd. nr. I.:w From the Chicago Times-Herald. PRESIDENT. HOBART ton In nomination for he. most unusual ly for hm, spoiled one of his best points When leading up, to what it was sup posed would evoke a burst of applause Ifor Blaine, he Inadvertently substituted the name of James A. Garfield for James G. Blaine and was Ignominious' ly corrected by the bystanders. Aiv other amusing little slip was perpetrat ed by the permanent charman, Senator Thurston, who, by the way, made most excellent presiding officer. The Incident clearly showed the way his mind was running. When nominations for vice president were called for and Judge Fort took the stand, the chair man Introduced him as "Mr. Hobart, of New Jersey," the man whom the Mc- Klnleyltes had determined to elect vhen the laughter this blunder occa sioned called his attention to It. he adroitly passed It off by saying, "Mr. HoDart, of New Jersey, will now be nominated by Judge Port." Whatever enthusiasm was lacking In tne early days of the convention was supplied when the nominations were made. A more boisterous scene of yell' ing, plume and banner waving and other manifestations of ecstatic Idiocy has seldom been seen or heard than that which for nearly half an hour occupied the convention after the nomination of William McKlnley. The Bllver bolt was largely discounted and Its effect was to a great extent neutralized by the speeches which Sen ators Mantle, of Montana, and Brown, of Utah, and others made, declaring their continued allegiance to the Re publican party, notwithstanding their disappointment on the silver plarjk, After the nomination of Hobart the convention at 7.51 p. m. adjourned sine die. CONVENTION IN SESSION. Proceedings of the Meeting Which I.uxtcd Nearly Eight Hours. St. Louis, June 18. At 10.35 Senator Thurston called the national Republi can convention to order. Rev. John R. Scott, of Florida, invoked the divine blessing. , The chairman said the first order of business was the reception of the re port of the committee on resolutions and the chair recognized for that pur pose Senator-elect Foraker, of Ohio, who, as he stepped on the platform, waa received with hearty applause, and re ported the platform. Mr. Foraker read In a clear voice with distinct enunciation. He gave a point ed emphasis to the endorsement of President Harrison, who was received with cheers, but not with any over whelming demonstration. As Mr. Poraker approached the finan cial plank, Mr. Teller left his seat with the Colorado delegation and moved up to the platform, where he seated himself at the end of the second row of Beats to the right of the chairman. With the opening sentence: "The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money," which Mr. Foraker read slowly and very emphatically, a burst of cheering occurred, and the applause was repeated with redoubled volume when the pledge to promote Interna tional agreement for free coinage waa read. The demand for American control of the Hawaiian Is aids rec?lved appro al, but the proposed building of the Nicar agua, canal by the -United States and the purchase of the Danish Is'and for a naval station fell flat. There was surprising little enthusiasm over the Monroe plank, bvt the Cui an rarag;ar)h was greeted with loud cheers, thoutrh the convention mlBsed tiie pnrase de manding the Intervention of the armed forceiofthetTnltedSUtes lnCuba,whl h ;rr".rv t' v? uori fre riatt'i platform. "Influence and good offices appeared In place of "intervention." Civil service enforcement was re ceived In blank silence, but the demand for a free ballot and the condemnation of lynching enlisted the enthusiasm and approval of the colored delegates. The reading of the platform as a whole was listened to with marked at tention and at Its close It was greeted with ' great cheering. Mr. Poraker moved the adoption of the report as the Republican national platform for 18. ' MR .TELLER RECOGNIZED. Then the chair, amid the breathless attention of the convention, recognized Senator Teller, who sent to the secre tary's desk and hd read the following minority report: We. the undersigned members or tne committee on resolutions being unable to ain-ee with that portion of the ma jority report which treats of the sub jects of coinage and finance, respect fully submit the following paragraph as a substitute therefor: The Republican party favors the use of both gold and silver as. equal stand ard money and pledges Its power to secure the free, unrestricted and inde pendent coinage of gold and .silver at our mints at the ratio of 16 parts of silver to one of gold." Mr. Teller then advanced to the front and In earnest tones addressed the con-' ventlon In explanation of his course. He disclaimed that advocacy of free silver was In any. manner controlled by the fact that he represented a state which produced sliver. He contended for It because he believed that no country could prosper without It and because he believed that It was the great weight which was not weighting the country. Professing tolerance for those who differed from htm, he said his decision had been arrived at after many years of deliberate thought. The great con test whether there should be one Hag or two In this country was not more im portant than this. Confronted for the first time In the history of this glorious party of ours with the danger of a fin ancial system which In our Judgment would be destructive to the country, they were called upon to decide whether to adhere to It or to reject it. He asked the convention to pardon him If he closed with personal allusions. He had formed his conclusion on this subject to Buch an extent that ths became bind ing on his conscience.He believed the morality, the civilization nay, the very religion of this country were at stake in this contest. Men in distress were neither patriotic nor brave. This was what made him c. Republican, because he believed Its principles were calculat ed to build up and sustain the .unfor tunate and distressed. He did not be lieve this could be done on the gold standard. With this solemn conviction upon him he must sever his connection with this political organization with which he had been so long associated. (Cheers). As he subsequently repeated his declaration of un Intention to seyer hi connection with the party cries of "No, no," were raised In different parts of the hall. He recognized the Jibes and sneers that would follow htm, but he was used to that. Before the Republican party was organized he stood for the doctrine of free Bllver, free homes and equal rights. (Cheers.) There were few men in the party who had been more sin cerely attached to Its principles, than he, and he could not go out of it'vith out heart-burning and regret, "If I go out of the Republican party," he said, "I care not what the consequences may be." Whether It takes me out of politi cal life or not, I go out with feeling at least that I maintain my consistency and manhood approves the sacrifice. Retiring from you as I do, perhaps never again to have the oportuntty of addressing a Republican convention, I cannot go out without saying that I cherish down In my heart a hope nay a belief, that better counsels will pre vail and that at some future day on a true Republican platform, sustaining Republican principles, I may have the Inestimable privilege of again address ing you." RESOLUTION TABLED. Mr. Foraker, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, moved to lay Tel ler's substitute on the table. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, seconded the motion. then yeas and nays were demanded by the states of Colorado, Montana and Idaho and the vote was taken. The result of the roll call was an nounced: Ayes, 818; tipya, 1054. So the motion to lay Senator Tellers sub stitute free stiver plank on the table was carried. Mr. Foraker was recog nized to move the previous question of the passage of the resolutions. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, rising In the body of the hall, asked that a sepa rate vote be taken on the financial plank. Cries of "No." The previous question was then or dered with only a few feeble noes. Mr. Dubois demanded a roll call of states on the passage of the financial plank and Colorado and Montana sec onded the call. The chairman said the question to be voted on was, "Shall the financial plank be adopted as the sense of this conven tion?" On this the roll of states was called. The roll call proceeded amid so much confusion that the chairman had to sus pend until order had been restored. Meantime the two secretaries were puzzling over the result of the vote as announced on the previous motion, which' footed up apparently more dele gates than there were In the conven tion. The result of the roll call on the ques tion of the adoption of the financial plank was annonced: Ayes 812, nays 110. and the financial plank is adopt ed, added the chairman, amid cheers. SENATOR CANNON'S STATEMENT. The rest of the platform was adopted with a ringing chorus of ayes, there be ing but one solitary "no." The chair announced that It was requested as a question of personal privilege that a statement prepared by certain members of this convention be read. - "Is there objection," he asked. Wait ing for a few seconds and receiving no response he announced, "as a matter of personal privilege the chair will permit Senator Cannon to read tho statement and the chair asks respeotful attention and perfect quiet. . ; Mr. Frank Cannon, the youthful sena tor from Utah advanced to the platform and with "orator Teller sitting b Tilt 1&? Hi f GARRET A. HOBART,' Next VIce-Prealdtnt. side, reading in ringing tones and with many gestures the following protest: "The Republican platform of 1892 affirmed that the American people from tradition and interest favored bimetall ism and demanded the use of both gold and silver, as standard money. This was accepted by us as a declaration In behalf of the principle upon which rests the Interest of every citizen and the safety of the United States. In such terms the platform was then satisfac tory. It believes In bimetallism within our party, only because of the equivocal construction and evasion has It since been demonstrated to be Insufficient "As the declaration of 1892 has been by a majority of the party construed to Justify a single gold standard for our monetary basis and as the recent trend of official power of the party has been in that direction, we can but assume that the money plank In the new plat form being much more favorable to per petuate gold monometallism will be de terminedly used In behalf of that idea. The Republican party has won Its power and renown by pursuing Its pur pose courageously and relentlessly; It Is, therefore, only in accordance with the party's history to assume that If it shall come to the present authority in the United States, It will crystallze Into law and administration under this tem porary platform of the perpetual single ff?! !ia,l),ri,"I?1uL"nanc8-, Th,s' .,f long continued will mean absolute ruin to the producers of this country and Anally to the nation Itself. To us It Is a folly without parallel that this coun try or any political party therein should deliberately accept a money system which enriches money at our cost. His tory, philosophy and morals all Join with the commonest Instinct of self preservation In demanding that the United States shall have a Just and substantially unvarying standard, com posed of all available gold and silver and with It our country will progress to financial enfranchisement, but with a single gold standard the country will go on to worse destruction. "Accepting the fiat of the convention as the present purpose of party we withdraw from this convention to re turn our constituents the authority with which they Invested us believing wet have better discharged their trust by! this action, which restores them th authorty unsullied than by giving cow ardly and Insincere endorsement to the greatest wrong ever wilfully attempted within the Republican party once the redeemer of the people, but now about to become their oppressor, unless provi dentially restrained by votes of the free men. When Mr. Canon JiacJ, nearly finished the reading of the document crlsa of "time" and counter cries of "no, let him finish" were raised The chair again apepaTed for respect ful attention to th protest which he said was 'nearly finished. , HISSES AND GROANS. At his closing word, declaring that the Republican party once the redeemer of the people, was now about to become its oppressor, a storm of hisses and groans were raised from all parts of the hall and cries of "down," were raised. The chair with his resonant voice rising above the tumult said: "The chair sug gests to this convention that the Re publican party In convention assembled netd not fear any declaration." Here an outburst of cheers which lasted several second Interrupted ,'the chairman. When they had subdued he continued: "And the chair further suggested In the Interests of the Republican party that whatever Is to be said within reasonable limits by those who can no longer re main In our organization ought to be listened to with respectful attention, believing that full answer to all such declarations will be made by (the great Continued on Page 8.

ENTHUSIASM OP HIS NEIQHB0RS Citizens Out for a Holiday-Seated at a Telephone the Candidate Listens to the Cheering at His Name in the Convention Hall 600 Miles Awav. Canton, Ohio, June 18. The striking of 918 on the fire alarm bell of Canton, that being the number of delegates In the convention, and therefore selected for the purpose, together with the booming of the big cannon on the bluff back of the watch factory at 5.19 this afternoon, notified such of the people of Canton as had not followed the Dosted bulletins that the national Re publican convention at St. Louis had nominated their fellow townsman, Ma jor William McKlnley, as Its candidate for president, and then the pent-up en thusiasm which had been repressed for two or three days with more or less force broke out and far Into the night pandemonium reigned. Every device that skill and Ingenuity could produce to make a noise waa brought Into play, not only In Canton, but in all the cities and towns for miles around, in all of which McKlnley Is a favorite and the principle of protection for which he now stands is the abiding faith of the population. Steam whistles, single and in chimes, brass mouthed calliopes emitting frightful shrieks, yells, cannon and ear piercing horns all united to create a commotion that might have startled the man In the moon and dwellers on Mars. Almost as If by magic, too, the streets blossomed forth In the national colors, of designs nu merous and various, bunting, flags, streamers and what not, and every where the smooth, serious face of the new candidate looked forth upon the multitude. Canton will be a thing of beauty for at least a fortnight if not a Joy forever. The McKlnley house waa the center of attraction all day and many resldenta and visitors from the surrounding towns called during the day to pay their respects and generally they stayed to hear the bulletins being read. There was a small army of newspaper men drawn hither in anticipation of the event, who were made cordially wel come by Mr. McKlnley and by members of his family and who occupied the front porch and the walk leading from the gate to the door In the northern front room where Major McKlnley sat and received those who were Introduced Into the circle. Here was located the long distance telephone which kept the house in communication with the con vention hall. Opposite this room, across the hall which divides the house, sat Mrs. McKlnley and a number of ladles gathered to receive with her the news of the day. The party Included Mrs. Nancy Allison McKlnley, the major's mother. BULLETINS READ. The scene In the house was Impres sive and Interesting throughout the af ternoon. Telephone bulletins were read by Mr. Sam Sexton, nephew of the ma jor, and commented on by him, and the little knot of companions gathered about him. These Included Hon. John Russell Young and Murat Halstead, the veteran newspaper writers: General R. H. Hastings: representatives of the press association and a few local friends. The platform was received over the wires at the house and read with much Interest. Major McKlnley is understood to be well satisfied with the declarations In the document. The Cuban plnnk is said to have received his approval and to be In close harmony with his views and wishes In regard to that subject. He received two or three parties of visitors who called to pay their respects and he Introduced them to his guests about the house. It was a trying position, but he bore himself through It all with dignity and serenity, A Hash of the eye under the overhang ing brows alone told of the emotion within. At 5:19 the vote of Ohio was an nounced, nominating McKlnley. The figures were given at 467H and McKIn ley asked: "Is that by that bulletin?" and being asusred that it was, he said, "All light," and swallowed a big lump in his throat. In a moment, like the crop of dragon's teeth, people by the thousands seemed to spring from the ground and In less than two minutes the spacious yard was filled to the fence. The crowd threw themselves Into the house and before Major McKlnley could get out of the room they were upon him with their tumultuous and affectionate congratu latlor FILEY'S Received One More Same Goods As Last Week, 12 1-2 Cents a Yari 'lever More Sold Less Than 25c.
