GENERAL MENTS, j ;
Win. McKinley, of Ohio, was on last
Thursday evening at C o'clock nomina
ted at St. Louis by -the Republicans as
llicir candidate for President. He Was
nominated in tho first ballot, and before
the call of States was:half done.
The chairman directed the call of
States for nominations for President.
The first State called was Iowa, when
Mr. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, came
-to the platform and nominated Senator
Allison. - .. . - - . , - '"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
nominated Thomas B Keed, the nomi
nation beiDg loudly applauded. Depew
I xjr formed a like service in" behalf of
Gov. Morton, of New York.
, Senator-elect Foraker put McKinley's
name in nomination. After some bit
ter abuse of the Democratic party, he
got to McKinley's name, and the con
vention went wild. -
Theconvention gave itself up to
unrestrained yelling, cheering, horn
blowing, -histling! j and cat-calling.
Then a portrait of McKinley was
hoisted on line with the United States
Hag. from the gallery facing the plat
form and the cheering began over again,
to which the .band responded by play
ing "Itally Round the Flag," the
convention joining in the chorus.
After at least twelve minutes of this i
kind of proceedings the chair began to
rap' for a restoration of order, but with
out, avail. Foraker stood during all
this wild scene, smiling his approval.
After twenty-five minutes of incessant
turmoil Mr. lorater jvas allowed to re
sume his speech.' He said from what
bad occurred, it waa evident the con
vention had heard of his candidate be
fore. He closed an eloquent peroration
by submitting in the name of 46 dele
gates, Wm. McKinley 8 name for the
consideration of the convention.
Governor Hastings, of Pennsylvania,
nominated Senator Quay, and" J. M.
Vance, a negro from Louisiana, sec
onded McKinley's nomination.
The rod call of States was then begun.
Alabama led off with one for Morton
and 19 for McKinley. Arkansas and
California cast solid' votes for McKinley.
Connecticut cast iiye for Reed and
seven for McKinley; Delaware a solid
vote for McKinley; Florida eight for Mc
Kinley; Georgia two for Reed, two for
Quay and 22 for McKinley. One of the
colored delegates from Florida, amid an
gry protests, insisted on challenging the
vote, and Senator Thurston, rwho had
resumed 'the chair, decided that the
right to challenge should be given every
delegate. The delegation being .polled
it was found that Morton had two votes
n Florida ana McKinley omy six in
stead of eight as announced by the
chairman of. the delegation.
Illinois announced SG for McKinley,
was challenged and poll enowea no
change- Indiana cast its 30 votes for
McKinley. Iowa cast its 26 votes for
Allison; Kansas, for McKinley, zv;
Kentucky 26 for McKinley. Louisiana
cast a curious-vote, half a vote for Ali
son, half a vote "for Quay, four for Reed' j
and 11 for 3IcKinley, and so the
votine went on until Massachusetts
grave one vote for McKinley and the
rest for Reed. The McKinley column
steadily incrensed. When Mississippi's
IS votes were cast ior McKinley another
of the colored delegates demanded
rjoll: which showed one vote for Quay
and 17 for- McKinley. Montana cast
one vote for McKinley, one for Don
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, one blank
and one absentee. There was a decided
sensation when the vote of New York
was-challengcd bv Warner Miller. It
bad been .announced as 54 for Mor-

the
laws of that
of life have much brains andVeryj little
conscience. ;' Every shebang, like' every
set of track hands along the railroad,
has Us boss or sachem. Tammany hall
is the best organized gang, perhaps, in
the United State: i' They were once in
position to dictate who we should i- have

ernor of New York buti Dr. Parjkhust
and the Lexow; committee haya par

I have been in some towns and icities
lately where "the gang" has beenjover-
thrown. i believe it has been ddmodf
strated in most places that whenever
and wherever the good people of the
town try to down the gang the? will
eucceed. Right must have a champion.
Then it has a victory. The goo4 ele ;
ment in a community is generally
timid, but when aroused is as coura
geous as a lion. The bad elemeat in
a city consider themselves brave but
when they see that the good people are
thoroughly aroused they are as coward
ly as a mob of 10,000 men after; one
poor little helpless prisoner. I .
The "gangs" in every department of
life have two objects in view. The first
is personal gain, and the. second is to
take care of their friends and punish
their enemies. When we come into the
realm of "the church we can see as plain
ly there as anywhere that the gangjruns
tne macninery. it is as true in one
church as another. -
It is irue from the genjeral conference
of the M. E. church down to a little
crossroads convention of a little; Baptist
church in the country. As the darkey
says, every church has its most leadinist
members as. well A3 its bench members.
j . .
I suppose there never was a gangjwho
didn't start in at the beginning to re
form things and run them right. But
they soon find, out that it pays better to
run things wrong-. -..In other words, tthat
honest money is not so easily made as
dishonest moneys Wealth is' not ac-
tunities to make money rapidly jpre-
booniven by heaven to man. It is
the greatest legacy that ever befell a
human being. A man who is not forced
by circumstance and surroundings to do
anything that is not right is the man
who can.be most trusted, for not only
has he got the God endowed sense of
right and wrong, tut he Btands above
environments unpurchasable and unre
deemable. - Conscious independencce
and ..conscious rectitude make a man
invincible, no matter in what circles of
life he ia seen or in what departments of
life he speaks or acts; he ia a man, : he
stands for something, he is an express- 4
ion of something. Like John the Bapist
crying out in. the wilderness, he has
a. voice and a conscience a voice that
will be heard and a conscience like the
north star guiding him unerringly.
. The reign of - right is forever. The
reign of gang is for only a short while.
All from Boss Tweed "down to a little

illustrations of the fact that the best
thing a man can do is to do right and.
the worst possible thing he can do is tt
do wrong. The incorruptible men in
the political world like George Washing
ton, old Hickory Jackson and Abraham
Lincoln will stand forever as monuments
of the immortality of principle. So on
the other hand in the realm of trickery

How Butler Was Scared.
News and Observer, 17th.
"I will let you into a secret if you
will not use my name," said an East
ern Republican a day or two ago.
"The Republicans who are trying to
secure fusion haye worked the best
scheme on Butler that ever was attempt
ed, and it has worked beautifully. I
had begun to think he wouldn't s wal.
low the bait,-but the last week's Cau
casian showed that he swallowed it

their Democratic neighbors about get

That is the question we asked ourselves.
Finally, after a conference with Rus-
sell's close' friends, a scheme waa hit
upon that has worked admirably. It

leaders into re-fusion by making them
