NOMINATIONS MADE.
AH of the Candidates Placed in Nomina
tion —A Vote will Follow Before Ad
journment-Senator Mantell Re
fused to Bolt—The Convention
Went Wild While Delegates
Were Retiring.
Convention Hall, St. Louis, June
18.—The plan of the managers is to
bring the convention to a close today.
The convention hall at 10 o’clock was
nearly empty. The day is hot and
the humidity isfearful. The second
place is still in doubt, though the
probabilities are in favor of Morton,
Hobart or Hastings. The platform
will declare for gold, and the Cuban
plank will declare that the active in
fluence and good offices of the United
States should be interposed for the
restoration of peace.
During the wait for the delegates
to take their seats a glee club from
Nebraska began singing campaign
songs from the platform. Teller was
on the platform conferring with
party leaders. - The hall soon com
menced filling. The aisles were
filled with v legates canvassing for
votes for seco? d place on the ticket.
The convention was called to order
at 10:32.
Committee on Platform Reports.
Rev. John Scott of Florida offered
prayer. At ten thirty five, chair
man Thurston called for the report
of the committee on platform and as
Foraker arose he received loud
cheers. The preamble to the plat
form adverts to the calamitous re
sults of Democratic rule and charges
that party with incapacity to direct
the countries affairslaughter. The
tariff plank extols protection and
denounces the present tariff as sec
tional. The question of rates is de
clared to be practical and to be
general by the conditions of time
and production. Ample protection
is promised producers and manufac
turers of wool. Woolen restora
tion and encouragement to merchant
marine is promised. The financial
plank already published is unre
servedly for gold. Liberal pensions
are advocated as well as generous
treatment of all pensioners. A
vigorous and dignified foreign policy
is advocated. The Hawaiian island
should be under our control and no
foreign power should be permitted
to interfere with the Nicaragua
Canal. The purchase of the Danish
Isles west is advocated. The Ar
menian massacres are denounced and
the Monroe doctrine is re-asserted
to its full extent. It says, we shall
service advocated; a free ballot is
demanded and lynching denounced.
Favors Woman’s Rights.
The remaining planks favor free
.homestead, the policy of the Republi
can party; admission of the remain
ing territories; encouraging temper
ance and favors woman’s rights.
Cheers greeted the financial reci
procity and Cuban planks. Eleven
delegations and two-thirds of the
States rose and cheered the declara
tion against the free coinage of sil
ver.
Teller Offers a Minority Report.
Foraker moved the adoption of the
platform. Senator Teller was re
cognized and offered a minority re
port. There was loud cheering by
the silver States when Senator Tel
ler arose and referred to the finan
cial plank. He favored the use of
both gold and silver and favored
free coinage of both at the ratio of
16 to 1. He took the platform and
spoke in favor of the report signed
by the members of the committee
from Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Mon
tana and Nevada. Ilesaid the issue
in the civil war was not greater
than the financial issue confronting
the country.
Vote by States on the Report.
Teller stated in his speech that if
the gold plank was adopted he must
sever connection with the .party.
There were cheers and hisses.
Foraker replied to Teller’s speech.

not be extended. The country de
mands a right for settlement and
then wants rest. The repeal of the
reciprocity arrangements made by
the last Repulican administration
was a National calamity and recipro
city and protection go hand in hand.
The Free Cuba Plank.
The democratic administration is
condemned for not keeping faith with
the sugar producers. The republican
party favors such protection as will
lead to the production on American
soil of all sugar which American
people use, and for which they pay
other countries hundreds of millions
annually. The government of Spain
having lost control of Cuba, and be
ing unable to protect property or
lives of resident Americans, or to
comply with it’s treaty obligations,
we believe the United States gov
ernment should actively use its in
fluence and good offices to restore
peace and give independence M the
Island. Continued enlargement of
announced that the delegation from
Utah would not bolt, but that only
two or three members had gone.
Three loyal alternates took their
places.
Chairman Thurston endeavored to
restore order and suggested that the
Republican party fear no such calam
ity. Delegates and spectators arose
and cheered several minutes. Order
was restored after several appeals.
Cannon proceeded with the names
to the silver protest. Senator Tel
ler, Dubois, Hartman of Montana, and
Cannon of Colorado left the hall amid
cheers and shouts of good bye. The
band played “ Three cheers for the
red, White and Blue.” The crowd
rose and sang with the band and
cheered several minutes. The
delegates from Idaho, Montana, Utah,
and South Dakota followed.
Chairman Thurston remarked
facetiously while the delegates were
retiring that enough delegates seem
ed to be left to transact business.
Nominating speeches being an
nounced to be inorder, Mr. Baldwin,
of»Iowa, nominated Allison amidst
cheers. Senator Sewell, ofNew Jer
sey, says there is little doubt but
that Hobart will be nominated Vice-
President. It is reported that Mor
ton's name will not be presented.
Maine was called and Lodge nomi
nated Reed amid cheers. The chair
stated that an efforttoadjourn would
be opposed. The programme is to
remain in continuous session until
candidates are nominated.
Depew presented the name of
Morton, and bedlam broke loose when
Foraker took the stand to nominate
McKinley. Theaudience sang Dixie,
America and other songs at the con
clusion of Foraker’s speech. Gov.
Hastings presented Quay’s name.
Hahn,- Hanna’s right hand man
says Morton will be nominted by
McKinley delegates. It was decided
to boom Thurston for the Vice Presi
dency this morning. The Illinois
delegation has voted/ to support
Hobart for the Vice Presidency.
As we go to press balloting by
states, which will nominate Mr.
McKinley is in progress.

Saturday’s Hail Storm Touch
ed Three Counties.
IN UPPER WAKE
The
Loss was Frightful.—Farmers Leav-
ing Their Farms—Hail on the Ground
for Three Days—People Injured-
Fowls Killed.
The news which was received
here today regarding the hail storm
Saturday night is much more alarm
ing than that received here Sunday
from Wake Forest. Parties from
•the north-western section of the
county, ten mites from Wake Forest,
state that the storm was more gen
eral there, and did far greater dam
age. The loss must be exceedingly
large to farming interests from to
day’s reports.
Mr. David Allen, a son of Mr. W.
G. Allen, superintendent of the
County Home, was at the residence
of Dr. Penny, near Vanteen post
office, this county, when the storm
passed there early Saturday even
ing.
The storm first struck the Orange
county line, passed through Dur
ham county near the Granville line
and then jumped into Wake. The
path of the storm in that section av
eraged a mile, and Mr. Allen says
that it extended over 15 miles and
possibly more territory, before
reaching the Wake Forest section.
Mr. Allen has seen the damage
done at Wake Forest, but it does
not begin to equal the desolation
and ’destruction done .crops in the
western end of the county. Mr.
Allen says that the damage was so
great that many farmers have given
up their land and are going else
where to seek employment. Others
began to plow up their fields to
HORSE CRUELLY BEAT
Mayor Riiss Sends .Melvin Chavis on to
Wait Next Term of Court.
The Mayor’s court had an unusu
ally large attendance this morning.
The case that attracted the most at
tention was the one against Melvin
Chavis, charged with cruelty to
animals.
The evidence was that Melvin
beat a horse belonging to Mr. E. M.
Martin unmercifully, while driving
him from the river. Mr. Martin
stated that the horse was injured
physically and that large whelps
stood out on his back and body, be
ing the result of cruel abuse. Tobe
Marshall and Joseph Bramm were
witnesses.
The case is beyond the jurisdic
tion of the Mayor, and his Honor
bound Chavis over to the next term
of Criminal Court, under a $50
bond.
This is the 'first case of the kind
that has come to public notice in
some time. The law is a humane one
and punishment should be fully
meted out to all offenders.
Platform Adopted Viva Voci Vote.
U. S. Grant, Jr., was applauded
when he voted “no.'’ The platform
as a whole was adopted by viva voci.
Teller arose to aquessionof personal
privilege. Cannon, of Utah, was
the first permitted to read a state
ment announcing the purpose of the
silver minority.
At 1:20, Cannon was interrupted
by shouts of“time” from the galler
ies. Order was restored and he
proceeded. He predicted the down
fall of the Republican party if it ad
heres to the gold platform. He was
interrupted by howls and hisses.
Burleigh, of Washington, was rec
ognized and he said that his State
was for the singlegold standard and
McKinley.
The roll call of the national com
mittee was ordered.
Silver Delegates Leave the Hall to Music.
The chairman recognized Senator
Mantell of Montana and he said he
thought that a majority of the Mon
tana delegation thought they were
justified in retiring, but he said the
republicans from Montana can’t give
their approval of the financial plank
adopted. Mantell entered his protest
against the plank adopted, but an
nounced that only a part of the dele
gation would withdraw. Senator
Brown of Utah was recognized and

noticed in yesterday’s paper died
last evening at 11 p. m. at the resi
dence of his father, several miles
South of the city.
Young Mr. Wilson was taken ill a
few days ago with typhoid fever.
The malady seized him and quickly
carried him away, despite medical
treatment and- skill. Mr. Wilson
was about 18 years of age and a
young man of many splendid quali
ties. Full of promise he was cut off
in the bloomof youth.
The funeral was conducted this
afternoon from Inwood Church,

To illustrate the force and severity
of the storm, Mr. Allen says that
Tuesday—over two days after the
storm, he gathered a large quantity
of hail- stones and used them in freez
ing ice cream. The ground was
completely covered with ice.
Men who were caught out in the
storm were beaten fearfully and
some are reported injured. Chick
ens and fowls and birds were killed.
It is estimated that the damage
was from $50,000 to $60,000. The
people are reported to be in disti-
tute circumstances.

Not Shot.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Havana, June 18.—General Brad
ley T. Johnson has returned here
from Matanzas. It developed today
that he was one of the passengers
on board the railroad train which
the insurgents recently dynamited
near Benavider, and fired upon for
ten minutes. The, balls shattered
the windows of the cars and went
through the cars themselves. The
passengers hastily vacated their
Seats and lay on the floor until all
danger was over. Among them were
some very stout women. General
Johnson’s seat in the car was shot
through and through and two bulLt«

The Charlotte Dramatic Club will
present “TheCongressman" in Met
ropolitan Hall tonight for the Vance
Memorial Fund.
The play is a roaring farce comedy
replete with funny savings and sit
uations and was most enthusiasti
cally received when presented in
Charlotte, where it was twice re
peated to crowded houses.
The caste is made up of clever
young society folks, who have been
playing light comedies for several
years with great success.
One of the most laughable hits in
the home production was the appear
ance in the first act, of a band con
sisting of a one legged Italian in a
wheel barrow with a grind organ
and a monkey and two negroes play
ing a bass horn and drum. The
same band in the same costumes
will play here in the same highly
entertaining manner.
Coming to us as it does with the
highest recommendations and con
sidering the object for which it is
being presented, “The Congress
man” should be greeted with a
crowded house.
Three Companies Going to Richmond.
R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1, S. C. V.
yesterday issued their call for the
general organization of Sons of Con
federate veterans throughout the
South. These calls have been sent
to 250 camps, and it is the desire of
those in charge to have the United
Confederate Veterans take up the
matter, which has already been fa
vorably received and act upon it as
soon as they assemble in their Sixth
annual gathering. An effort is be
ing made to get the Auditorium for
the Sons’ big meeting, which will
be held on the night of June 30th.
Only three Companies in the State
have determined so far to make the
trip to Richmond. They are:
Governor’s Guard, of Raleigh, with
sixty; Hornet’s Nest Rifles, of Char
lotte; Forsyth Rifles, of Winston'.
Telephone subscribers will please
add to their lists Mr. Z. P. Smith’s
