St. Louis, June 19. The Republican na

to the mastheads yesterday, and placed in
command of the ship wliich is to bear
them on to fortune or disaster in Novem
ber their popular idol, William McKinley,
of Ohio, and Garrett A. Hobart, -of Xew

and at the last moment before the lines

crew who had shipped in many a voyage
refused to subscribe to the new shipping
articles, and walked down the gang plank,

cut out for it, and .several different times
was tragic, dramatic and inspiring. Fully
10,000 people were in the vast audience to
hiss or cheer by turns.
The bolt of the silver men from the west
was fully discounted, but it nevertheless
furnished the most dramatic incident of
the day. Led by Senator Teller, they had
declared their intention of refusing to sub
scribe to the gold plank in the platform,
but yesterday, after ' Senator Teller had
made his final appeal to the convention
not to take the step which would drive
him and his colleagues out from the ranks
of the party; which in the past honored
them andhev had deliehtei to serve, and
tne convention had voted 81S to 105 to
stand by the gold declaration in the plat
form, no one who witnessed the 'scene will
forget to. his 'dying -day the picture of Sen
ator Frank Cannon, of Utah, facing from
the platform ,10,000 irate, hissing, jeering
people a-s he read the valedictory of the
silver men. '
'He stood erect and defiant, his pale face
set in grim determination as those before
him tried to cry him down, until the verj
courage he displayed won for him the ad- '
miration which compelled silence. When
he had finished the reading the crowds in
the galleries burst out again with their
jeers and cries of disapproval, but' in the
most - courtly fashion he turned and
shook hands with Senator-elect Foraker,
the chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions, Permanent Chairman Thurston,
and other friends on the platform: .
: Then locking arms with Senator Teller
the two men left the stage and moved
down between the walls of howling dele- -gates
to whe'ire the standard of the Idaho
delegation stood. There they were joined
by the handsome,-, stalwart Dubois, and
the three men continued their ma,reh to the
main door, their followers falling in be
hind them as they moved along. . It was a.
small band, only twenty-two in all, sev
eral of the delegates from the states of
"Utah and Montana, notably Senators Car
ter and Mantle, of the latter, preferring to
subserilje to the platform than to : sever
their allegiance to their party, and the
delegates, only a few of whom displayed
any bitterness toward what they believed
to be the misguided course of their col
leagues, breathed a sigh of relief when it
was over. . . .
The silver men who bolted immediately
perfected plans "to place-Senator Teller in
nomination as an independent silver can-,
didate for president in the hope that the
Democrats at Chicago, if controlleYthj the
'silver -men, .would place his name at the
head of their ticket. '
After this -sensational incident the con
vention turned with evident pleasure to
the work of selecting the standard bearer s.'"
It was a foregone conclusion that Me
Kinloy would bo nominated, but the pent
up enthusiasm of the friends of the Ohio
candidate found full Vent. ; ' ' v
The speech of Baldwin, of Council
Blufcs, Iowa, nominating Allison, of Sen
ator Lodge nominating Iteed, of Hastings
nominating Quay, and of Depew nominat
ing Zaorton were eloquent and masterly
efforts, and were received with the great
est, enthusiasm by" their respective sup
porters. " ..; V'a:--- "-" ...-."' ' ''-'- -': ':
: Bat it Avas the nomination of .McKinley
: by Foraker which turned the' convention
into bedlam. Save for the wild tumult
.that, followed Senator Wolcott's speech
placing Blaine in nomination a't'Minneap--
oils four years ago, the demonstration that ", if w
occurred yesterday has had no parallel in
a Republican national convention, at least
'in length. V ' '
The Minneapolis demonstration con
tinued for it wenty-seven minutes; that of
ye5tercu',y fell short of that record but
classes or our people, tne .Republican ana Tne
Democrat, the rich and the joor, the big and
the low have suffered in common. Idleness and .
' its consequent poverty and distress Jiave been ,
the rewards of labor, distress and bankruptcy
have overtaken business, shrunken values, have .
dissipatxl fcrt'.uies, deficient revenues have im
poverished the government, brought about
bond issues, and bond syndicates have discour--ligod
and cauvliiiizt'd the nation.
Over against this fearful i:enaltv,is, however,
to be set down one great c :niva-yitiry result,'
' it ha3 destroyed th? Democratic party. The
' proud columns which swept the country in tri
umph in lSt2 are broken and ''-noiselerW in 1896.
Their boasted principles vrha they came to
the test of a practical applirai n have proven
nothing but. fallacies!, and their great leaders
have degeiierat.d into warring chief tain.s of
petty and irreconcilable factions. Their boast
ed principles when put to the test of a proper
application have proven delusive fallacies.
Their approaching national convention is but
an approaching national nightmare. No man
pretends to be able to predict any go:d result
to come from it, and no man is seeking nomina
. tion of that convention!
The party that could stand up under the
odium of human slavery, opposition to the war
for 'the enfranchisement, reconstruction and
"specie resumption, , at last fels itself over
matched, and undonxvby itself !. It is .writhing .
-.in the throes of dis - nation, superinduced by a
dose of its own medicine. No human agency
can prevent its absolute overthrow at the next
election, except only this convention. If we
make no mistake the -Democratic party will go
out of' power on the fourth of March, to remain
out until God in his wisdom and mercy and
.goodness shall see t xmce more to chastise his
people. SO far we have uot made any mistake..
" We have adopted a platform which meets the
demands and expectations of the American
people.It remains for us now as the last crown
ing of our work here to complete our work b
nominating a good candidate,
j ' The people want a good Reptiblican. They,
want something more than a; wise patriotic
statesmm ; they want a man who embodies in
;. himself not only all of those essential qualifica

in record, in ambition, and in purpose, the ex-,
act opposite of all that .'is signiSel and repre

such a man. His name is William McKinley.
i No ether name .'so' completely meets the; re-
quireiiients of. the American people, and no
j. other man so absolutely commands their

thirty seconds. Of course it lacked the
zest that comes after a long and uncertain
contest of giants, and if in a measure me
chanical, it did not want for inspiration
and enthusiasm. . The delegates listened
to the opening words - of the speech of 'the
dashing Foraker in silence, awaiting the
first mention of McKinley's name. s The
explosion came with it.
Mark Hanna climbed on his chair just
in front of the platform, with his handker
chief held aloft; Fifteen thousand people
in the galleries rose simultaneously and
15,000 throats gave f orth their wild enthu
siasm. The black mass of delegates and
alternates in the pit seemed to also 'rise
en masse, save for here and there a delega
tion of the opposition. Several' American
flags and tri colored plumes waved fran
tically, while the noise was like the deep,
steady roar of Niagara. . .
An Ohio -delegate seized the Buckeye
standard and held it aloft until it was
seized and carried to the platform, and
opposite the stand an enormous portrait
of the choice of the convention was hoisted
to the gallery. -The minutes passed, but
the delegates and the spectators did not
weary. Just at the close, as the shouting
spectators were ready to sink , from ex
haustion, a man wearing a Napoleon
cockade hat of the first empire came out
from beneath the galleries and pushed his
way over the press benches to the plat
form. Altogether the scene was a remark
able one. and testified to the popularity of
the candidate who has been placed in the
field. Mr. Foraker spoke in part as fol
lows: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven
tion, it would be exceedingly difficult, if not en
tirely impossible, to . exaggerate the disagree
able "experiences of the last four years. The
grand aggregate of the multitudinous bad re
sults of a Democratic national administration
may be summed up as one stupendous disaster.
It has been a disaster, however, not without at
least one redeeming feature ; it has- been fair
nobody has escaped it. It has fallen equally
alike uuoo all sections pf pur country and all
that state or section, but in all the states and
' all the'sectioan of our . country, from ocean to
ocean, and from the gulf to the lakes. They ex
pect us to give them a chance to vote for him.
e discharee that dutv Ave will trive joy to
their hearts, .enthusiasm- to the campaign and
. triumphant victory for our cause, and he in.
j turn will give m an administration under'
i which the country. 'will enter upon a new era of
'. prosperity at home and of glory and honor
t abroad. By all these tokens of the present, all.
these promises for the future, in the name of
the delegates of Ohio, he claims your consider
ation. .
McKinley's vote exceeded the especta- ;
tions of his friends, as . he "received Wl4,
within a vote of a vote and a half mora
than a majority, and almost three times
as many as his' five opponents. " The full
vote was as follows: McKinley, mVAl
Reed, 8434; Quay, 0l4; Morton, 53; Alli
son, ?:. ' . , .
The nomination was immediately made
unanimous with enthusiastic speeches
from the representatives of the opposing
candidates, and there were the. usual
felicitations. Mark Hanna isyas obliged, in
response to calls, to address the conven
tion. :' . !
After the: decision of the Piatt forces in
New York not to present the name of Gover
nor Morton.owing to the war waged against
him by the Warner Miller faction, the
nomination of Garrett A. Hobart, f New
-Jersey, became a certainty. Mr. Hanna
and the McKinley influence was thrown
for him, and although there '.was an at- :
tempt to consolidate the west and south
p on H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, the Mc
Kinley influence was too potent. Besides,
it was the general sense of the , delegates
that the logic of the situation required the
nomination of an eastern man for vice
president. V ' '
The nominating speeches were brief.
Bulkeley of Connecticut, Lippett of Rhodo
Island and General, Walker of Virginia
were also placed .in nomination, arid it
only required one ballot to determine the
contest. ; Hobart received ' S30J votes, IK)
more than a majority. Evans, his nearest
competitor, received 2S03.1 : . There were
scattering votes for Reed, Thurston, Grant,
Depew,. Morton and Brown.
