CLEVELAND, ONO, April 2S.-With
knives upliitcd in deadly earn est until
the very moment OF the assembling OF
tho convention was tho way the rival
bands OF Shcrmanites and Forakerites
approached each other to-day. Sudden
lrand unexpectedly, however, as tho
trump of the Archangel Gabriel, came
at the critical moment voice com.
maRdins halt.
Fiery, white haired General w. Fl.
Gibson, OF Tilin, impersonated tho
archangcl. lie declared that he would
nominate slate without regard to
either side. He would, himself, with
draw, and. unless prevented by what
would amount to an act OF Providence
or the powers internal, would move that
NIL four dclegates-at-larsc to NIinneapo-
lis be nominated by accamation and
that they be Mckinley, Foraker, Bush
nell and Hahn-two unmistakablc
Sherman and easily recognized Foraker
men. As 4 result Of this bold move no
fight was made on the permanent Or
Ganization and Governor Mckinley
made his initial appearance and went
to the chair amid a tremendous out
burs. OF applause and waving OF hats
and handkerchieis.
Notwithstanding that he had been up
until a. m. at the Americas Club gath
crlngln Pittsburgh and had travelled
continuously until almost tho time he
stepped up on the platform. Governor
Mckinley's magnificent vitality seemed
uniiasslng and he seemed calm, forccful
aia ready Tor any emergency rs he
stepped to the front OF the stage and
gazing an instant at the wildly cheer
ing mass OF people before him began
lis speech.
