MCKINLEY and HOBART.
Last Thursday was a great day in St.
Louis. The Convention was in session
trtwn 10:30 A. M. to 7:51— nearly 9#
hours.
The fist business of the day was the
reading of and consideration of the re
port of the Committee on Resolutions.
Gov. Foralter of Ohio took the platform
and read the report or platform adopted
by the majority of the committee, and
then the Chair recognized Senator Teller
of Colorado, who sent the report of the
minority to the desk and had it read,
and moved its adoption as a substitute
for the financial "plank" of the report of
the majority. Mr. Teller then made a
long speech giving his reasons for object
ing to the financial plank of the plat
form. His speech was pathetic at times,
and at its close he was loudly applauded.
Foraker moved that the substitute
be tabled, the yeas and nays were demand
ed, and the substitute or free silver plank
was tabled by a vote of 813# to 105#.
The platform as read was then adopted.
Senator Cannon of Utah then read a
protest signed by himself, Senator Teller
of Colorado, Senator Dubois of Idaho,
Mr. Hartman of Montana, Mr. Cleveland
of Nevada, Senator Pettigrew of S. Da
kota, and others raAking 21 in all; and 1
then the party led by Senator Teller
marched out of the hall, while the whole 1
convention rose and sang "Three cheers
forthe red, white and blue,".
Other Western delegates asserted their
allegiance to the party.
The states were then called for mem
bers of the National Committee, and
Quay was selected by the delegation of
this state. There were deadlocks in one
or two states, and some humorous inci
dents.
THE NOMINATIONS.
The Chairman ected a call of
the states for non^ is for President.
lowa was the first state to respond and
Mr. Baldwin of Council Bluffs went to
the platform and nominated Senator W.
B. Allison.
Massachusetts was next, and Senator
Lodge took the stand and nominated
Thomas B. Reed of Maine. He was
seconded by Mr. Littlefield of Richland.
Maine.
New York came next; and Chauncey
M. Depew nominated G*v. Levi P. Mor
ton.
Ohio came next and Senator-elect
Foraker nominated William McKinley.
Foraker made a great speech and was
interupted for nearly half an hour by
cheering and singing "Rally round the
Flag."
His nomination was seconed by Sena
tor Thurston of Nebraska.
When Pennsylvania was called Gov.
Hastings nominated M. S. Quay.
The roll of states was again called and
the ballotting began. When Ohio was
called McKinley already had enough to
nominate, and the convention began
cheering, but the roll was completed and
vote announced as follows:
McKinley 661 Reed 84#, Quay 61
Morton 58 and Allison 35>4. All the
men who had made nominating speeches
then joined in asking that the nomina
tion of McKinley be made unanimous,
and that was done.
Some of the delegates then wanted to
adjourn for supper as the hands of the
clock stood at 6:20, but the majority
wanted to finish the business on hands.
Nominations for Vice President wfcre
called for, and Judge Fort of New Jersey
nominated Garret A. HoMrt, and gave
him a great "send off."
Mr. Allen of Rhode Island nominated
Charles Waneu Li pputt.
Win. Randolf of Tennessee nominated
Henry Clay Evans.
J. C. Walker of Virginia, nominated
James A. Walker.
The first ballott resulted as follows:
Hobart 533#, Evans 277yi, Bulkley 39,
Walker 24, Lipputt 8, and some scatter
ing votes.
Hobart was declared the nominee, and
at 7:51 the convention adjourned "Sine
die."
On President the Pennsylvania dele
voted 58 for Quay, and 6 for McKinley.
Quay's other votes came from' Georgia,
a; Mississippi 1, and Louisiana
Canton was the noisiest city on Earth
last Thursday evening, and next day.
The people were crazy over the nomi
nation and flocked in to congratulate
McKinley. Special trains came in from all
the neighboring towns, and several
eastern delegations on their way home
stoped to see him. Several delegations
also visited McKinley on Saturday.
THK PLATFORM.
The Republicans of the United States,
assembled by their representatives in
national convention, apj>ealing lor the
popular and historical justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican role,
earnestly and confidently address them
selves to the awakened intelligence, ex
perience and conscience of their country
men in the following declaration of facts
and principles:
For the first time since the civil war
the American people have witnessed the
calamitous consequences of full and un
restricted Democratic control of the
go\ernment. It has been a record of r.n
--p allele'! incapacity, dishonor and disas
ter. IN administrative management it
has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit,
eked out ordinary current expenses with
borrowed money, piled tip the public
debt by $262,000,000 iu time of peace,
forced an adverse balance of trade, kept
a perpetual menace hanging over the
redemption fund, pawned American
credit to alien syndicates, and reversed
all the measures and results of success
ful Republican mle. In the broid effect
of its policy it has precipitated panic,
blighted industry and trade with pro
longed depression, closed factories, re
duced work and wages, halted enterprise
and crippled American production while
Stimulating foreign production for the
American market. Every consideration
of public safety and individual interest
demands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands of these who
have shown themselves incapable to con
duct it without disaster at home and dis
honor abroad, and shall be restored to i
the party which for thirty years adminis
tered it with unequaled success and pros
perity.
TARIFF,
We renew and emphasize our allegiance
to the policy of protection as the bul
wark of American industrial indepen
dence and the foundation of American
development and prosperity. This true
American policy taxes foreign products
and encourages* home industry; it puts
the burden of revenue on foreign goods;
it secures the American market for the
American producer; it upholds the Amer
ican standard of wages for the American
workingman; it puts the factory by the
side of the farm and makes the Ameri
can farmer less dependent on foreign de
mand and price, it diffuses general thrift,
and founds the strength of all 011 the
strength of each. In its reasonable ap
plication it is just, fair and impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monoply, to sectional discrim
ination and individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional , injurious to the pub
lic credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such an equi
table tariff on foreign imports which
come into competition with American
products as will not only furnish ade
quate revenue for the necessary ex
penses of the government, but will pro
tect American labor from degradation to
the wage level of other lanas. We are
not pladged to any particular schedule.
The question of rates is a practical ques
tion, to be governed by the conditions of
the time and of production; the ruling
and uncompromising principle is the
protection and development of American
labor and industry. The country de
mands a right settlement and then it
wants rest.
RECIPROCITY.
We believe the repeal of the recipro
city arrangements negotiated by the last
Republican administration was a national
calamity and we demand their renewal
and extension on such terms as will
equalize our trade with other nations,
remove the restrictions which now
obstruct the sale of American products
in the ports of other countries, and
secure enlarged markets for the products
of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and berth
must lie re-established.
Protection for what we produce: free
admission for the necessaries of life
which we do not produce; reciprocal
agreements of mutual interests which
gain open markets for us in return for
our open market to others. Protection
builds up domestic industry and trade
and secures our own market for our
selves; reciprocity builds up foreign
trade and finds an outlet for our surplus.
SUGAR.
We condemn the present administra
tion for not keeping faith with the sugar
producers of this county. The Repub
lican party favors such protection as will
lead to the production on American soil
of all the sugar which the American
[ people use, and for which they pay other
counties more than $100,000,000 an
nually.
WOOL AND WOOLENS.
To all our products—to those of the
mine and the field as well as to those of
the shop and the factory—to hemp, to
wool, the product of the great industry of
sheep husbandry, as well as to the finish
ed woolens of the mill—we promise the
most ample protection.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We favor restoring the early American
policy of discriminating duties for the
-upbuilding of our merchant marine and
the protection of our shipping in the for
eign carrying trade, so that American
ships—the product of American labor,
employed in American shipyards, sailing
unaer the Stars and Stripes, and manned,
officered and owned by Americany—may
regain the carrying of our foreign com
merce.
MONEY.
The Republican party is undoubtedly
for sound money. It caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the re
sumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as good
as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency
or impair the credit of our country. We
are therefore opposed to the free coinage
of silver except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial na
tions of the world, which we pledge our
selves to promote, and until such agree
ment can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our sil-
ver and paper currency must be main
tained at parity with gold, and we favor
all measures 'designed to maintain in
violable the obligations of the United
States and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth.
PENSIONS.
The veterans of the union army de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given the pre
ference in the matter of employment, and
they are entitled to the enactment of such
laws as are best calculated to secure the
fulfillment of the pledges made to them
in the dark days of the country's peril
We denounce the practice in the pension
bureau, so recklessly and unjhstly car
ried on by the present administration of
reducing pensions and arbitrarily drop
ping names from the rolls, as deserving
the severest condemnation of the Ameri
can people.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our interests in the western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Ha vaiiau islands shonld be control
led by the United aful no foreign
power should be permitted to interfere
with them; the Nicaragua canal should
be built, owned and operated by the
United States; and by the purchase of the
Danish islands we should secure a proper
and much needed naval station in the
West Indies.
ARMENIAN MASSACRES.
The massacres in Armenia have arous
ed the deep sympathy and just indigna
tion of the American people and we be
lieve that the United States should exer
cise all the influence it can properly
exert to bring these atrocities to an end.
In Turkey, American residents have been
exposed to the gravest dangers, and
American property destroyed. There
and evetffwnere American citizens and
American property must be absolutely
protected at all hazards and at any cost.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its
full extent, and we reaffirm the right of
the United States to give the doctrine ef
fect by responding to the appeals of any
American htate for friendly intervention
in case ot European encroachment. We
have not interfered and shall not inter
fere with the existing possessions of any
European power in this hemisphere, but
those possessions must not, on any pre
text, be extended. We hopefully look
forward to the eventual withdrawal of
the European powers from this hemis
sliere, and to the ultimate union of the
English speaking part of the continent by
ihe free consent of its inhabitants.
CUBA.
From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people of the United
States have regarded with sympathy the
struggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from European domina
tion. We watch with deep and abiding
interest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots against crnelty and oppression,
and our best hopes go out for the full
success of their determined contest for
liberty.
The government of Spain, having l.ist
control of Cuba, and being unable to pro
tect the projjerty or lives of resident
American citizens, to comply wfth its
11 treaty obligations, we believe th.it _ the
: government of the T'nited States should
actually use its influence and good offices
I to restore peace anil give independence
I to the island.
THE NAVY.
The peace and security of the republic
and the maintenance of its rightful in
fluence among the nations of the earth,
demand a naval power commeusurate
with its position and responsibility. We
therefore favor the continued enlarge
ment of navy and a complete system of
harbor and sea coast defenses.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
I For the protection of the quality of our
American citizenship and the wage- of
our workingmen against the fatal com
petition of low-priced labor, we demand
that the immigration laws be thoroughly
enforced, and so extend as to exclude
from entrance to the United States those
who can neither read nor write.
CIVII. SERVICE.
The civil service law was placed on the
statue hook by the Republican party,
which has always sustained it, and we
renew our repeated declarations that it
shall be thoroughly and honestly enforc
ed, and extended wherever practical.
FBEE BAEI.OT.
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast one
free and unrestricted ballot, and that
such ballot shall be counted and returned
as cast. •
LYNCHINGS.
We proclaim our unqualified condem
nation of the uncivilized and barbarous
practice, well known as lynching or kill
ing of human beings, suspected or charg
ed with crime, without process of law.
• NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
We favor the creation of a national
board of arbitration to settle and adjust
differences which may arise between em
ployers and employes engaged in inter
state commerce.
HOMESTEADS.
We believe in an immediate return to
the free homestead policy of the Repub
lican party, and nrge the passage by Con
gress of the satisfactory free homestead
measure wnich has already passed the 1
house and is now pending in the senate.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the remain
ing territories at the earliest practical
date, having due regard to the interests
of the j>eople of the territories and of the
United States. All the federal officers
appointed for the territories should be
elected from bona fide residents thereof,
and the right of self government should
be accorded as far as practicable.
ALASKA.
We be'ieve the citizens of Alaska
should have representation in the con
gress of the United States, to the end
that needful legislation may be intelli
gently enacted.
TEMPERANCE
We smvpathize with all wise and legit
imate efforts to lessen and prevent the
evils of iutemperance and promote nioral
ity.
RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
Th# Republican party is mindful of the
rights and interests of women. Protec
tion of American industries includes
equal opportunities, equal pay for equal
work, and protection tw the home. We
favor the admission of women to wider
spheres of usefulness, and we invite their
co-operation in rescuing the country from
Democratic and Populist mismanagement
and misrule.
THE PARTY'S PLEDGE.
Such are the principles and policies of
the Republican party. By these princi
ples we will abide, and these policies we
will put into execution. We ask for
them the considerate judgment of the
American people. Confident alike in the
history of our great party and in the
justice of our cause, we present our plat
form and our candidate* in the full assur
ance that the election will bring victory
to the Republican party and prosiieritv
to the people of the United Slates.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The new Republican National Com
mittee met in St. Louis, Friday, filled
the vacancies in the Committee and el
ected M. A. Hanna,, chairman Mr.
Hanna accepted the position and said:
"I certainly appreciate the compliment
and the confidence which goes with it, in
offering me this position, whicli under
ordinary circumstances I should be com
pelled to decline, but under the present
condition of affairs my loyalty and my
love for our candidate induces me to go
one step farther and see the consumma
tion of this great victory for the Repub
lican party.
"The task which I have had before me
in this present campaign though arduous,
its conduct was in accordance with strict
business integrity, honor and fair dealing.
I wish to say further to this committee
that if Maj. McKinley is elected Presi
dent of the United States he will be el
ected owing no man a promise that will
embarrass his administration. What he
owes he owes only to his country; and
what he will do will be for the welfare
of the Republican party. If a pure life,
patriotic motives and a firm determina
tion to do his duty will make his admin
istration a success, the United States will
have occasion to thank God for the nom
ination made in yesterday's convention."
(Applause).
Mr. Manley was made temporary secre
tary and Col. Swords, of lowa, ttie ser
geant-at-arms of the old committee, was
kept in that position temporarily. It was
agreed that Chairman Hanna should have
full authority to select all the officers of
the committee, including the treasurer.
At the instance of Senator Thurston, of
Nebraska, the following resolution was
unanimously agreed to:
"Resolved, That the chairmnn of this
committee is hereby authorized and cm
powered, after consultation with the can
didates for President and Vice President,
to appoint an executive committee of
nine members, and that the chairman of
this committee shall be chairman ex
officio of the said Executive committee."
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman and it is said
that the next meeting will be held in
New York city in about two or three
weeks.
REJOICING AT PATTERSON.
Patterson, New Jersey, rejoiced last
Thursday night over the nomination of
Hobart.
He is popular with every one and all
classes paraded the streets and all the
fire works in the city were burned up.
The crowds about the newspaper and
telegraph offices became so dense that
the cars could not pass. When it became
npparent that Hobart would be nominat
ed 011 the first ballot the crowd could no
longer lie restrained.
Every band in the city was in waiting
and they pasied into the streets. Pro
cessions sprung up on every side and
every factory bell was tolled. This was
a signal for a general illumination of the
buildings in the city.
Garret A. Hobart, born on Long
Branch. N. J„ in 1844. After receiving a
common school education he attended
Rutger's college and was graduated when
20 years old. He was admitted to the
bar in 1866 and was chosen counsel of
Patterson in May, 1871. In 1872 Mr.
Hobart was elected assemblyman, ami
during his second term he was elected
speaker of the Assembly. T" 1877
Passaic county sent him to the State
Senate. He closed his caiicr as a legis
lator in 1881-2, when he was president of
the Senate. Hobart was the Republican
caucus nominee for United States States
senator in 1884, when John R. McPher
son, Democrat, was elected. He was
New Jersey's member of the Republican
National committee In 1,8.84, aud was el
ected vice chairman.
THE platform adopted by the St. Loui
convention has caused much anger in
Spain and a conflict with the United
States is looked upon as about certain.
The Rotlichilds have made the Spanish
Government a loan of 100,000,000 pesetas
to be mostly applied to the purchase of
war ships. The Government is respond
ing to the undoubted national sentiment,
trusting probably to receiving help from
other powers.
It appears from aii official statements
that the annual sale of beer and ale in
the United States lias increased from
$8,500,000 in 1576 to (36, 000,000 at the
present time, which seems to show that
the efforts of the Prohibitionists are con
ducive to a growing taste for malt bev
erages
N»p.l Dow continues to make public
speeches in Maine, though he has rt ach
ed the age of 92. Gladstone must feel
prematurely old to be advised by his
physioipn to quit the platform at 86.

A Fearful Arraignment.
There is no denying (ho fact that the
Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, Senator
fleet from Ohio, can clothe ideas in proper
Unguage, and he always has a bounteous
store of ideas on tap. When he named
Major McKinley at the St. Louis conven
tion. he landed body blow* on tho Demo
r*cy from the very start. We herewith
quote the opening sentences of Foraker's
nominating speech. They are good read
ing and ought to he printed in every Re
publican newspaper in the land. Head
tnem.
"Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: It would be exceedingly dif
ticnlt if not entirely impossible to exagger
ate the disagreeable situation of tho last
tour years. The grand aggregate of tho
multitudinous bad results of a Democratic
National Administration may be summed
up as one stupendous disaster. It has
been a disaster, however, not without at
least this one redeeming feature —that it
has been fair; nobody has escaped. [Loud
laughter. J
"It has fallen equally and alike on all
sections of the country and on all classes
of cur people; the just and the unjust, the
Republican and the Democrat, the rich
atid t) e poor, the high and the low, hav«
suffered ia common. Poverty and dis
tress have overtaken bnsiness; 3hrunkon
values have dissipated fortune 6 ; deficien
cies o! revenue have impoverished the
Government, while bond issues and bond
syndicates have discredited and scandal
ized the country.
"Ov«r against that fearful penalty is,
ho - * ever, to be set down one great, blcasea
compensatory result—it has destroyed the
Democratic party." [Cnuers and laughter.]

POLITICAL NOTES.
It becomon more iikely every day that
the free eilyeriter will have a majority in
the Chicago Convention. This will give
them the power to make the platform;
but when it ooinns to the nomination of
candidates, tl.ey will be confronted by the
two third* rule," which is one of the cher
iahed conditions of their party. Therein
lies the only hope of the sound money
contingent in case it (ails to secure a
majority of the delegates. If it can mus
ter over one third ot the strength of the
Convention, and enforce the two-thirds
rule, it can prevent the nomination of
free silver candidates tor President and
Vice President, and compel the other side
to put go'J standard candidates on its
platform, or make no nominations. This
conri-e is being urged by some of the Dem
ocratic sonnd money organs as an alter
native to be preferred >o bolting. But the
fact should not be overlooked that the
success of such a plan involves the neces
sity of sdherance to the two-thirds rule
by both sides; and there is no assurance
that the free silverites will consent to be
beaten in that way when they can abro
gate the two thirds rule by their own
votes, and niakw nominations according to
the majority rule.
With tearful eye and sombre visages a
handful of men who must have free silver
or nothing formally seceded from the Rep
ublican party at St. Louis. The virtual
secession took place last Winter at Wash
ington when a group of five Senators, three
of whom seceded, placed an embargo on
all revenue and tariff legislation untill
free silver coinage should be grantod.
That was the parting ways. That action
helped to stiffen the backbone of the
party and prompt the clear and unequiv
ocal declaration for maintaining the exist
ing gold standard at which these silver
men rebel. Unintentionaly these seceders
have done the Kepablican party a service.
By their extreme and belligerent attitude
on the silver question they discouraged
all thought of compromise declaration
By leaving the party they disembarrass
it of an allegiance that had become incom
patible and inharmonious and a hindrance
to intelligent expression and decided ac
tion.—Press.
An alleged error in the tabulation of the

The Excitement
IS NOW ON!
Facts as Big as Facts Can
Be Telling the Story of
a Coming New and
THRIVING ZELIENOPLE.
One Hundred Men Now on the Grounds
Erecting the Structures that are to
Live as the First Monuments of a
Great Industrial Center.
Healthful, picturesque, conservative,
practical Zelienople, with its 1,200 sub
stantial citizens, good schools and churches
nestled in the lap of nature's blessings ie
now on the verge of a bound into an indus
trial prominence that will arouse and
interest all who are seeking better homes
and better prosperity.
The new manufacturing industries that
have been brought to the new town that is
now building on the edge of the old town,
and extending some three-fourths of a mile
into Jackson township, are being put up
with such a will and energy as ereile
public enthusiasm. One hundred work
men are alredy on the grounds, an<? pre
parations are being made for a big lot sale,
commencing July 15th when all the
evidences will be at hand to show every
possible investor the sound, sale opportu
nities that exist for judicious, money-grow
ing investments.
—The Blackham Manufacturing Com
pany's works, the principal industry, will
give employment to some 300 mochanics
of thfc highest skill, as all of their products
(finest enameled baths and porcelain spec
ialties) are made by secret prooess, requir
ing special care in their maunfacture.
Their plant will cover some seven acres,
while the premises and shops of the Pitts
burg tiranite Wool Company, Kavanaugb
Machine Works, canning factory «nd
coffee and, spice mills will require five
acres more.
The foundations for the Granite Wool
Works are almost completed, and ground
will be broken for the other industries as
soon as plans ca« be pat in shepe
A total of between 500 and 600 operatives
will be employed, assuring an increased
population which may be conservatively
estimated at 3,000.
The Zolienople Sxtension Company, the
organization that has brought about this
great industrial revolution for Zelianople.
have offices within a stone's throw of the
itcposing two-story depot now being erect
ed by the Pittsburg <fc Western railroad.
The new depot is some 3,000 feet west of!
the old depot, and the old one will be
abandoned and the new one occupied as
soon as the latter is completed. This will
change tho course of travel to up Walnut
and Zeigler streets, the latter of which will
be the imin or business thtroughfsre
Lots were never offered at such low
prices and reasonable terms as will rule at
this opening sale. Workmen must be
secured for the new industries, and e very
inducement will be made to get them here
in time to start the manufactories as soon
as the same are up and ready.
