THEJ, LATTER YIELDS GRACEFULLY He Declares That the Illinois Delegates, Having Received Their Instructions, Will Loyally Support McKlnley at the National Republican Convention. Springfield, Ills., May 1. William McKlnley, Jr., of Ohio, Is tho cholco of tho Hcpubllcuns of Illinois for prosldont of tho United Stntos. Ho was so doclared nt tho state convontlon hero yesterday. Whllo Senator Cullom and his backers met with defeat, they mot It gracefully, and an nounced their determination to lend their hoartlest co-operation for tho eloctlon of Major McKlnley. Thegreatcstintcrost bogan when Charlos Fuller, of Hoono county, Introduced tho following: Hesolved, That tho delegates to bo elected by this convention to tho Repub lican national convention be and nro hereby instructed to present to said na tional convontlon tho namoof Hon. Shelby M. Cullom as Illinois' candidate for presi dent of the United States, and to uso all honornblo means to sccuro his nomination. Tho reading of this was tho cause of tho most uproarious applauso that had oc curred In tho convention. For fully flvo minutes there woro choors from tho gal leries and by dologatos. Tho chairman rapped his gavel In vain to rostoro order, but in splto of all ho could do tho applauso continued. When order was flnnlly ro storod and tho resolution wa3 road by tho secretary there followed another uproar. Mr. Fuller's speech in support of tho resolution was followed by long and fu rious cheering. When It had abated Sol Hcthen, of Loo county, arosoaud moved thnt tho name of William McKlnley, Jr., of Ohio, bo sul stttutcd for that of Sholby M. Cullom. At this tho cheering broke out with oven moro furoro than boforo. By actual tlmo tho applauso lasted four miuutos. "W. J. Calhoun then took tho plntform to speak In behalf of McKlnley, and his speech was liberally punctuated with applause. Will iam MoKinloy," ho concluded, "Is tho leading man of tho hour." Tho uproarious cheering was renowed as ho ceased to speak. Delegates and visitors In tho gallorlos got upon tho chairs, throw their hats In tho air and yolled like wild inon. A dolognto ofterod an nmendmont In structing tho delegates for Itcod or Allison la caso, MoKinloy failed of tho nomina tion, but tills was hooted down. An attempt to lay tho resolutions on tho tablo was then made by tho Cullom men, but this was defoated by a voto of BOD yeas to 832 nays. Furious cheering followed tho announce ment. Then Mr. Fullor moved that tho resolutions Instructing tho national dole-gatos-nt-largo for McKlnloy bo made unan imous. Upon hearing this motion from tho loader of Cullom's forces tho MoKlnlcy followors broko out again. Martin B. Mad den, In bohalfof tho dologatos from Cook county, socondod tho motion, which was carried unanimously. Followiug is the ticket ohoson In tho convention: For governor, John It. Tan ner of Clay county; lieutenant governor, W' A. Northcott of Bond county; socro try of stato, J. A. Itoss of Popo county; state auditor, J. It.

Presidential eleetors-at-lnrgo, Rabbi O. Illrsch and Hon. Horace I), Clark. Senutor Cullom gavo out tho following Gtatemont todny regarding tho result of tho convontlon: "Tho Republicans of Illinois, In their stato convention, havo shown that thoy want tho dulogatos-at-largo to support Major MoKinloy for prosldont. That no tion Is binding aud conclusive. It is not to bo construed as unfriendly to any of tho other candidatos, but as an oxprosslon of tholr proforenco. Evory Republican In Illiuols will accept It. Personally I havo no fault to find. That somo of my f rlouds gavo tho preferouco to Major McKlnley was perhaps natural, as ho has been In tho minds of tho peoplo as a candidate for tho last two years. If Major MoKinloy should be nominated It will boboonusoof tho pop alar belief that ho most thoroughly typifies those cardinal prlnelplos of tho Republi can party which nro ombodlod In ourplat form."
