SUGAR.
We condemn the present administration for
not keeping faith with the sugar producers OF
this country. The republican party favorx such
protection as will lead to the production on
American soil of all the sugar which .he Amer
lean people use and for which they pay other
countries more than 300, 100000 annually.
WOOL AND wooLENs.
To all our products-to those of the mine and
the field well as to those of the shop and
factory; to hemp; to wool, the product OF the
great industry of sheep husbandry. as well as
to the finished woolens of the mill-we promise
the most ample protection.
MERCHs ANT MARINE.
We favor restoring the early American policy
OF discriminating duties for the upbuilding OF
our merchant marine and the protection of our
shipping in the foreign carrying trade so that
American ships-the product OF American la
Dor, employed in American shipyards, sailing
under the stars and stripes, and manned ofh-
cered and owned by Americans-may regain
the carrying Of our foreign commerce
MONEY.
The republican party is unreservedly for
sound money. 1t caused the enactment OF the
law providing for the resumption OF specie pay

as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed
to every measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit OF our country. We
are therefore opposed to the free coinage of sill

When Ohio was reached the requi-

nominate Mckinley and the convention
broke into cheers. When all the states
had been called the chairman an
nounced that William Mckinley had
received 661H votes. Delegates and
spectators arose and waved flags and

rent the air.
The chief supporters of the four un-
successful candidates for the presi-
dency, Senator Lodge for Reed, Mr..
Hepburn for Allison, Gov. Hastings
for Quay and Mr.. Depew for Morton,
made speeches moving to make Nc
Kinleys nomination unanimous and
pledging him the support of their re-
spective states. To these assurances
Mr.. Platt added his personal promise
of friendly cooperation.
The chair put the question: "Shau
the nomination be unanimous?" and by
rising vote it was so ordered and the
chair announced that William McKin-

Mr.. Frank Cannon, the youthful
senator from Utah, advanced to the
platform and, with Senator Teller sit

ending by declaring that accepting
the fat of the convention as the pres
ent purpose of the party, we withdraw
from this convention to return to our

Idaho; Senator Cannon, of Utah; Con-

Mr.. Cleveland, of Nevada-all mem
bers of the committee on resolutions.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,

the afternoon session would be opened
with prayer by Bishop Arnett, of Will
berforce (O.) college. Judge Denny, of
Lexington, KY, was presented to offer
to the chairman a gavel fashioned from
an ash tree planted by Henry Clay on
his farm at Ashland, Ky.
The report of the committee on ere
dentials was presented by Mr. Fort, of
New Jersey. The paragraph in the re-
port seating the Higgins delegation
was received with slight applause and
there was more applause when the
seating of the Grant faction of the
Texas republicans was announced,
Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, was
received with great cheering on rising
to present the report of the minority,
seating the Addicks and Quincy (Texas)
delegations, and there was further
cheering when he said that the minor
ity was unwilling to accept the decis-
ion of the national committee.
Mr.. Fort, as chairman of the COM
mittee, moved the previous question on
the report of the committee. Mr.. j.
Doyle, of Georgia, seconded the reso-
luton, as also did delegate from Ohio,
A TEST VOTE.
The roll of states was then called
and resulted as follows: Yeas $685.,
nays $685.; so the previous question
was ordered. This vote was regarded
as showing the strength of the Mckin-
ley and anti-McKinley forces The
Mckinley men voted yea.
A vote was then taken on the Della
ware case, those favoring Addicks
voting aye and those opposed no. The
noes were declared to have it and the
minority report on the Delaware case
was rejected. A similar result with
even greater emphasis awaited the mi
nority report referring the other con-
tests back to the committee, the mi
nority report in each case being over
whelmingly defeated. The majority
report was then adopted amid cheers.
AT 5:07 p. IN. Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
moved to adjourn till 10 o'clock this
morning aud an equal storm of ayes
and noes was raised. The chairman
declared in favor of the ayes and the
convention adjourned accordingly.

was adopted the republican party
would lose control of the senate and
not regain it in a quarter of century.
Mr. Fessenden, of Connecticut, ex-
planned why it was necessary to
adopt gold plank and expressed his
regret at this difference of opinion
within the party. The vote was then
taken on the Teller substitute and it
was defeated-ayes 10, noes Al.
Mr.. La Toilette, of Wisconsin. moved
to amend the last section by striking

The committee on credentials were
called upon for report, but were not
ready. The report of the committee
on permanent organization was then
presented and read. 1t named Senator
Thurston, of Nebraska, as chairman,
made the secretaries, sergeants-at-arms
and other temporary officers permanent
officers of the convention and gave
list of vice presidents, one from each
state. The report was adopted
Senator Thurston took the chair amid
applause and addressed the convention.
The secretary then read letter
from the chairman of the comnit
tee on credentials saying they were
engaged in consideration of the Texas
case, and had not been able to COM
plete it. On motion of Gov. Bushnell
the convention then adjourned until
2p. m.
THE TEXAS CONTEST DECIDED.
The credentials committee resumed
its session at 10 o'clock, the contest be-
tween the Grant and Cuney factions
for the four delegates-at-large from
Texas being taken up.
Judge Thompson, of Ohio, moved the

John Grant They We're given the

the national committee be made the
permanent roll of the convention with
the exception of the Delaware and
Texas cases, which should be heard,
was then adopted. The committee
then adjourned.
THE PLATFORM BUILDERS.
1t was 1890 a. m. when Chairman
Foraker called the full committee on
resolutions together. The platform
was read by paragraphs, the agree
ment being that each paragraph should
be voted upon separately.
Mr.. Teller stated that he had pre-
pared minority report on the finan-
cial plank which he would present
when that subject was reached. The
remainder of the platform was, he
added, entirely satisfactory to him,
The tariff plank was agreed to unani-
mously.
There was pathetic scene when the
financial plank was reached and SEN
ator Teller presented his minority re-
port. 1t took the form of substitute
and declared in general terms for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
ratio of 16 to l. He spoke for about
80 minutes of his long connection with
the republican party. 1t was the party
with which he had affiliated for 80
years. 1t was a party that had given
him great honors and he had served it
Loyalty. "But," exclaimed in a voice
of deep earnestness, 1.-The time has
come when l shall be obliged to leave
it, if it declares for the single gold
standard.
Mr.. Cannon, of Utah, like Mr.. Teller,
created a profound sensation by the
earnestness of his remarks. His voice
was cholked with emotion several times
and he proceeded with great difficulty
Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho, announced
that he would follow Messrs. Teller
and Cannon in leaving the party, al
