State Ticket Nominated and Delegates
at-Large Appointed.

at-Large Appointed.
CLEVELAND, April 29.-The Republican
state convention assembled again yester-.
day and Governor Mckinley was made
permanent chairman. He had been up
nearly all night, but had to say few
words to the delegates, who received him
with great heartiness. The mention of
the name of Harrison, Blaine or Foster
was loudly cheered "We love all our
leaders," continued Mckinley, but we
love our cause and our country better than
all of them. With US it is no longer
question of promise. We stand where we
have always stood. The tariff which we
stand for is tariff which shall
protect the homes and firesides of
America against all the world. And
we need not be alarmed as to the out
come. We are not dealing this year with
a tariff bill four weeks old as we were in
1890. 1t was then too young to speak for
itself. 1t is now eighteen months old and
doing its own talking. [Great cheering
and laughter.l

Incendiaries Active a. Vienna.

VIENNA, April 29-Incendiaries, sup
posed to be anarchists, are again active in
this city and vicinity. Their latest out
rage is the burning of the panorama of
"Christ Clucified, by Piglheim, a work of
great labor and considerable art. There is
no doubt that the confagration was in
cendiary in its origin. The anarchists
circulars and documents discovered in
Galicia have all contained blasphemous

EFFECT OF ABUSE
Considerable interest is beginning TO be

the people of this section. the majority
appear TO be in favor OF ex-Presldent
| Cleveland. vet David B. Hill has some
very stout and enthusiastic supporters,
and recruits are added TO the Hill ranks
every day. The senseless and unjust ABUSE
of David b. Hill by Democratic papers Is
thinning the ranks of Clevelands sup
porters in these parts.
