formed by The democrats rs to give thai
party natural majority of the voters
within the new limits. but the republicans
are determined to elect him.
About $1,000 people were in the city,

Smyser early in the day received the fol-
lowing telegram from James q. Blaine:
Il trust your convention to-day will nomi-
nate Maj. McKiaIey for congress. He has

years. On many occasions he has helped
the republicans OF Maine and they want 10
acknowledge their obligations and help him
by their interest, their sympathy and
frisniship."
The opera house Was iammed full OF re-
publicans when the convention opened. A
telegram from the secretary was read, caus-
ing immense cheering. Congressman
Smyser introduced Judge Munson. OF Me-
dina, who made speech nominating Me-
Kinley. He reserved McKinley's name 60

and shouts arose that fairly shook the
house. When vote was called for by
smyser the walls quivered with The mighty

followed with his speech Of acceptance,
which was MASTER effort. A number Of
