HOBART IS CHOSEN
FOR SECOND PLACE ON THE
. NATIONAL TICKET.
Oold-i-EHtbo4ie in-tJie Platform
Silver Men Bolt the Conven
tionHow it Was Done.
-William McKinhy, of Ohio, was
nominated at St. Louis last, Thurs
day by the National Republican
Con volition as' a candidate for Pres
ident of the linked States, and G.
A. Ilobaif, of New Jersey, for Vice
President. .The lirst orderof business when
the convention aseerabled Thursday
was the report of the committee on
resolutions, "and. the chair recognized
for that pnrpM.se : Senator-elect For
aker, who said: "As chairman : of
the coinmittee-on resolutions, I have
the honor t report as follows."
He then read the platform It
declares for the maintenance of the
present gold standard and against
the free coinage of silver; for pro
tection and wciprocity; Tor active
interposition 'or lUjS restoration of
pVace in CulxtHuj.diolds the Monroe
doctrine; favtr? govern ihent -construction
of th Nicarauga canal;
favors protect jnTof American -sugar;
endorses Harrison's adminitTatioii.
i : Silver Men Bolt.
After the reading of the platform,
the.chair, amid the breathless atten
tion of the convention, recognized
Senator Teller, who sent ten the sec
rtttary's desk and had reai the mi
nority report as follows:
"The liepubTiean party
hVors tlie
use of both gold and silver equal
standard money, and pledges its
power to secure the free, unre'stnc'
el and independent coinage of ;gold
and silver q,t oiir- mints at" the ratio
of sixteen parts of,, silver to one of
gold." . t ;:V. ; '
This Mns offredas an amend
mentr but waf . overwhelmingly de
feated. , It , was then . that Frank
Cannon, of IJtabAVitU Senator Tell
er sitting bDia irtit read-in ringing
tones a protest signed by Teller, .Du
bois, Cannon and Ilartman.
Senator Teller and Senator Can
non then shook hands with their
senatorial associates, Foraker and
Thurston, after which they left the
convention hall, followed by the
delegations from Idaho, Colorado,
Montana, Nevada, Utah and others..
The scene that followed is inde
scribable, the band playing "Red,
White and Blue.?' Much emotion
was apparent on all sides, and the
scene of withdrawal will never be
forgotten by those who. witnessed it.
There was no attempt at dramatic
effect by the silver men.
The Financial Plank
"The Republican party is unre
servedly for' sound money. It caus
ed the enactment of the law provid
ing for -the resumption of specie pay
ments in 1870. Since then every
dollar has been a good as gold.
We are unutterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our
country.'. We are. therefore, oppos
ed to the frte oomage of silver ex
cept by international agreement with
the leading nations of. the world,
which, we pledge ourselves to pro
mote, and until such an agreement
can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. - All
our silver and paper currency must
be maintained at a parity withhold,
and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolably the obliga
tions of the, United States, and all
our; money, whether coin or paper,
at the present - standard the . stand
ard of the most enlightened ' nations
of the world."' ,
Chairman Ilolton dors not believe
Russell will ever consent to have his
name taken off the ticket.
Jt is .said the friends of Judge
firaham will present his name in the
Fifth District for Congress.
Senator Ranson says his visit had.
nothing to do with politics; that he
is, in fact, out of political life, and
never again expects to be an aspir
ant or candidate for any political
office in the State. -
Of the one hundred andsTxty-ti vo

It is decided that the temperance

J. C. L. Harris, a prominent Re
publican, is quoted by, the Raleigh
News and Observer as saying that if
the - Democrats, .. Republicans and
Populists each run a' separate ticket
in 1 North; Carolina, the Democrats
will carry the State by a plurality of
from 20,000 to 20,000. Oh the sil

the Democratic and Populist parlies
will draw vetes from the Republican
party! and the victory will all be for
the Democrats."
If it required an annual outlay of
$ 100.00 to insure a family against
any serious consequences from an
attack of bowel complaint during the
year there are many who would feel
it their duty to pay it; that they
could not afford to risk their lives
and those of their family for such an
amount. Any one oan get this in
surance for 25 cents, that being the
price of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy.
In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of bowel
complaint before medicine could be
procpred or a physician summoned.
One or two doses of this remedy will
cure any ordinary ease. 'It never
fails. Can you afford to take the
risk for so small an amount ? For
