ton, followed by final adjournment and
the great convention became thing of the
past
WIN. Mckinley. Jr., Of Ohio.
The one man who has come distinctly to
the front during the convention, and is the
marked man of the occasion, is VIM. Nc
Kinley, jr. lie came here as friend of
Harrison and remained so uncompromis-
ingy to the end. As presiding officer he
held the convention easily in his control
without the least display of nervousness,
ofliciOusness, or show Of authority. He
was entirely unmoved by the action Of the
Blaintcs in throwing their strength to him
yesterday afternoon, and carried himself
through the trying ordeal with perfect mod
esty and absolute self-poise. 1t was dis
play Of fidelity, as well as of tact and
delicacy. which captivated the convention,
when he insisted on having the vote of
Ohio poled so that he might cast his own
personal vote for Harrison, and again
when he went down on the floor and tried
to have Harrison's denomination made
unanimous in the face of Quay, Plat and
Clarkson's sullen refusal to let this be done.
When this exciting discussion was over
he boarded a crowded street car, and hung
on by one hand and foot to ride to his
quarters in the West hotel in the most
Democratic way. He has a fine physique,
a strong face and thoroughly winning
personality. Keep your eye on William
Mckinley. ir., of Ohio for the next four
years.
SeIishncss and Personal Hatred SUI
preme.
The action of the leaders of the alleged
Blaine movement. when the final test
came demonstrated their insinccrity, and
proved, what had all along been suspected,
that their controlling motive was hatred of
the President, and not devotion Mr..
Blaine or the fortunes of the Republican
party. They had known all the week that
there was not a reasonable chance Of Mr..
Bainc's nomination. The result of the
caucus Of the Harrison men on Thursday
afternoon, followed by the vote on the re
port of the committee on crcdential, al the
evening session, proved that there was not
the slightest hope that it could be brought
about. But in spite Of this they insisted
on bringing him before the convention Ia
be slaughtered, and then, instead Of stand
ing by him, they split their vote and threw
half of it to Mckinley, hoping by this
means to break the Harrison column and
stampede it to the Ohio man as a dark
horse All in all, the more one thinks
about it, the whole performance of the
half-dozen of these men who posed as Mr.,
Blaine's personal adherents was such an
exhibition OF malignant hatred of Mr..
Harrison and of shameless pertidy to Mr..
Blaine as has never before been seen Oh
such an occasion. 1t is a cause both OF
regret and Of indignation to every true
Republican that man of Mr.. Blaine 5
