NO 152 s. If 1i i . v i w AMP senator foraker noinates Mckinley MCKINLEY AND ROOSEYELT. The Ballots by Which Tbey Were Ncnvna'xd. The roll-call was concluded at 12:50, Hawaii casting the last two votes for McKinley. A minute later Chairman Lodge announced: "There have been cast 926 votes, all for McKinley, and I announce bis unanimous nomina tion for President." The band8track up "The BaU tie Cry of Freedom." The dele gates joined in the chorus and there was an outburst of applause. Then an immense imitation ele phant walked majestically down the centre aisle, causing much amusement. Order was Eoon restored be cause every one was eager for the nomination of .Roosevelt to begin. Chairman Lodge appealed for quiet. He said it would be impos sible to go on without order in the galleries. He called the atten tion of the delegates to the fact that there was much work for the convention to do after the nomin ations wore completed. At 12:55 he ordered the clerk to call the roll of States for Vice President. "Alabama," called the clerk. "Alabama yialds to Iowa," re plied Chairman Barker of this del egation. "The chair recognizes Lafayette Young of Iowa," said Senator Lodge. Mr. Young nominated Theo dore Roosevelt of New York for Vice-President. It was 1:07 o'clock when Mr Young concluded his speech and finally named Roosevelt. "I nominate him for Presi dent," said the speaker. "Vice-President!,' came from all parts of the house. "Vice-Pre?i lent, I mean," said Mr. Young. The New York delegates were the first to Jump up again and be gin the cheering. The two bands in the hall struck up "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To night," and thousands began to sing it. On the roll-call of States Koose velt received 925 votes for Vice President all excepting his own ballot and was declared the nome inee of the convention. NOMINATING SPEECH. Senator Foraker was in splendid voice and held the attention of the audience throughout his speech, nominating McKinley. He said: - "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention : Alabama yields to Ohio, and I thank Alabama for that accomodation. Alabama has so yield ed, however, by reason of a fact that would seem in an important sense to make the duty that has been as signed to me a superflous duty, for Alabama has yielded because of the fact that our candidate for the pres idency has in fact been already nom inated. (Applause.) He was nomi nated by the distinguished senator from Colorado when he assumed the duties of temporary chairman. He was nominated again yesterday by the distinguished senator from Mas sachusetts when he took the office of permanent chairman, and he was nominated for a third time when the senator from Indiana yesterday read us the platform, (Applause.) Not only has he been thus nominated by this convention, but he has also been nominated by the whole Americaa people. (Applause. "From one end oi this land to the other, in every mind, only one and the same man is thought of for the honor which we are now about to confer, and that man is the first choice of every other man who wishes Republican success next November. (Applause). On this account it is no.t necessary for me or any one else to speak for him here or elsewhere. He has already spoken for himself (applause) and to all the world. H has a record replete with brilliant achievements : (applause) a record that speaks his highest eulogy. It comprehends both peace and war, and constitutes the most striking illustration possible of triumph and inspiring fidelity and success in the discharge of public duty. "Four years ago the American people confided to him their highest and most sacred trust. Behold with what results. He found the indus tries ol this country paralyzed and prostrated; he quickened them into new life that has brought to the American people a prosperity un precedented in all their history. He found the labor of this country everywhere idle; he has given it everywhere employment. He found it everywhere in despair; he has made it everywhere prosperous and buoyant with hope. He found the mills and shops and factories and mines everywhere closed: they are now everywhere open. (Applause.) "And while we are here to delib erate they are sending their surplus products in commercial conquest to the very ends of the earth. Under his wise guidance our financial stand ard has been firmly planted high above and beyond assault, and the wild cry of 16 to 1, so full of terror and long hair in 1896, has been put to everlasting sleep alongside of the lost cause, and other cherished Democratic heresies in the catacombs of American politics. (Applause). " With a diplomacy never exce lied and rarely equalled, he has overcome what at times seemed to be insur mountable difficulties and has given the assurance of complete protec tion, education, enlightenment, up lifting and ultimate local self-government and the enjoyment of all the blessings of liberty to the millions of Porto Rico and the Philippines. What we have so gloriously done for our selves we propose most generously to do for them. (Applause.) We have so declare 1 in the platform that we have adopted. " A fitting place it is for this party to make such declaration Here in this magnificent city of Philadelphia, where the evidences so abound of the rich blessings the Republican party has brought to tlie American people; here at the birthplace of the nation, where our own declaration of independence was adopted and our constitution was formed ; where Washington and Jefferson and Han cock and John Adams and their illus trious assistants wrote their immor tal work ; here where centre so many historic memories that stir the blood and flush the cheek and excite the sentiments of human liberty and pa triotism ; indeed a most fitting place for the party of Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and Blaine, (applause), the party of union and liberty for all men, to formally dedicate themselves to a great duty. We are now in the midst of its discharge. We could not turn back if we would, and we would not if we could. (Applause.) "We are on trial before the world, and must triumphantly meet our re sponsibilities or ignominiously fail in the presence of mankind. These responsibilities speak to this conven tion here and now and command us that we choose to be our candidate, the next president which is one and the same thing the best fitted man for the discharge of this great duty in all the republic, (Applause.) "On that point there is no differ ence of opinion. No man in all the nation is so well qualified for this trust as the great leader under whom the work has been so far conducted. He has the head, he has the heart, he has: the special knowledge and the special experience that qualify him beyond all others. And, Mr. Chairman, he has also the stainless reputation and character, and has led the blameless life that endear him to his countrymen and give to him the confidence, the respect, the admiration, the love and affection of the whole American people. (Ap plause.) He is an ideal man, repre senting the highest type of the American citizenship, an ideal candi date and an ideal president. With our banner in his hands it will be carried to triumphant victory in November next. (Applause.) "In the name of all these consid erations, not alone on behalf of his beloved State of Ohio, but on behalf of every other State and Territory here represented, and in the name of Republicans everywhere throughout our jurisdiction, I nominate to be our next candidate for President William McKinley.". AN UNLETTERED MAN. He Doas Not Know His Name in Print, But Wou'd Vote For the Amendment If He Knew It Wonld Dis franchise Him. Car. Ra'eigh Post., Fayetteville, N. C, June 20, 1900. I am not an educated man. I can's reader write, I don't know my name when I see it, 1 am a poor man was at Bethel and was at Ben tonsville and fired the last cannon there, I have never scratched a Democatic ticket, have been voting thiriy six years and have voted at every election. Now th8 most impor tant time in the history of North Carolina has come, when it is a question as to which shall rule, the white man or the negro. Po pulists and Republicans tell me that being an uneducated man I will lose my vote if the Constitu tional amendment passes. I don't believe it. A good son never turns out an old father and the Democratic party is not going to prevent me or any other white man from casting a vote as long as we live. But let me tell you, Mr. Editor, that if I knew I would lose my vote, I would vote for the amendment for I don't want the negroes to ever rule oyer my children. His J. W. X Carroll., Mark. "Witness: A. M. Williams. The Meaning and Origin of Boxers. Prof. Headland of Pekin University in Harper's Weekly. The society called Boxers or iginated many years ago and is of a two-fold or perhaps a mani fold character. It is partly ath letic, ond partly moral and relig ious. As an athletic association it goes under the name of the Big Knife Society (Ta Tao Hu',) and as a moral or religious suciety under the name of Rgbteous ness and Peace Fist. It. is orgar zA for the most part in the rur al and village district?, an;-?, it is said by the officials, is for the mutual help and protection of the country people help in t?m3S of famine, and protection from their enemies, and in case of necessity against oppression of avaricious officials. About one year ago the Society of Boxers transformed tbem -selves from keepers of the peace t j a band of marauders, robbing, murdering, pillaging, and looting all the Christian villages in Shan tung. They made no distinction between Catholics and protest ants. Early last year Prince Tuan, the father of the heir-apparent and one of the most warlike of all the Princes of the imperial house, raised a corps of not less than 12,500 Manchus from twen ty to thirty-five years of age as a special bodyguard of the Ems press Dowager. These he called the Glorified Tiger's Corps, and it is reported on the authority of one of General Nieh's officers that not less than one-third of this company joined the ranks of the Boxers, - and etablished a branch association in the suburbs of Pekin. This would readily ac count for the proximity and strength of the Boxers in the vicinity of Pekin at the present time.

Editok Argus: It is a prov erb, lamentable as it is true, that sao man is fully appreciated un til after he is dead," and it is sometimes true of a hero that he is not honored by his countrymen until after he is dead, then we chime together in the singing of his praises. If the voters of Wuyne county knew a man as his comrades know him; if they had seen him on scores of battle fields in Virginia and Pennsylvania, exhibiting brav ely unexcelled by any of the bravest recorded in history, they would, like th3 lamented General Pender, who fell at Gettysburg, recognizo his merit and offer bim promotion which he so richly de serves. Could the public picture him as I and others saw him at Bull Run, 200 yards inside of the enemy's lines, capturing prisoners right before their eyes and mak ing good his escape; marvellous, thrilling indeed, and a dar'ng feat, almost, if not altogether, without a parallel in the annals of war. At Fredericksburg, with iess than one-hundred sharpshooters, he dislodged a whole regiment of the enemy from the Port Royal road, at the request of General Lee, who, with Generals Jackson, Hill, Pender and other noted of ficers watched his skill and tactics with wonder and admiration. He executed the hazardous undertak ing with heavy loss to the Sixth Vtrjnont Ragiment, according to their own account, and with the loss of only one of his tharr: shoots ers. At Gettysburg, aftor be had lost every man of his company, either killed or wounded, he still with one other lieutenant marched bravely on to the reck fence on Cemetery bill, behind which an overwhelming number of the en emy forced., him to surrender at the muzzle ef their guns.

Alice Cogdell Gets Into Prominence in Police Circles and Finally Winds Up In the Comity Jail, Daily Argus of Friday Yesterday and to-day the po lice have been busy with Alice Cogdell, a young negro woman, who has been stealing everything she could get her hands on. A few of the articles have been found and returned, but there must be others of which nothing will ever be known. Enough has been learns ed, however, to satisfy Mayor Pe terson that she ought to be-confined in the county jail preliminary to a trip to the State prison. . Alice was first arrested yester day on a warrant for stealing a silk dress from Mr. C. J. Nelson, who reported to the poMce that she had missed a silk dress and that Alice was the only person of a suepicious character who had been seen in the house for several days. The police went to the home of Alice where they found the silk dress on Alice's grand mother, who had been laid out for burial, she having died the night before. . This was a rather startling rev. elation and not a desirable job, but the law had to be obeyed and the dress had to be returned to its rightful owner. Alice, also, amid her grief, had to be arrested to answer to the charge of larceny, but the arrest was not made be fore the had further gratified her ambition to steal. She went to the home of Mr. C. E. Croom, a mechanic, who lives on William street, where she asked Mrs. Croom for money to help bury her grandmother. Mrs. Cioorr came out Lf the kitchen, where she was preparing dinner, and went into her bed room and opened a bureau drawer, took out her pocket book and gave Alice a email amount of money, Mrs. Cioom hurried back to her dinner, thinking Alice had gone on out on the street, but not so, for Alice waited just a little and then went in and got Ibe pecket bcok before she departed. She also took Mr?. Croom's umbrella Pckeibook contained $30, of which amount $26 was recovered. Looks Like Business, Kinston Free Press. Messrs. J.W. Lynch, presiden' ; S. H..
