It was a pretty fight!
1t was two o'clock this morning
when a young man of strong unshaven
face, stood leaning on the piano in
front Of the stage Of the Metropolitan
Hall holding his thin lips together
lest the tempest which was tossing
within him should carry him. He did
give way once for second under the
leaping passion that seemed to lift
the immense convention billoWs.
''You go to hell!" he exclaimed with
tense feeling and the person addressed
was Mr.. Marshal Mott, chairman of
the convention.
The tellers were hardly yet through
the count, but the total seemed to throw
itself together by some unknown pro-
cess and cathode rav seemed TO car
ry it to the brains Of few Of the
Russell leaders whose eyes and ears
were throbbing with eagerness.
At least one knew that the fatal
119 ST was the figure 10 be announced,
119 being necessary to a choice and
the young man was Oliver TT. Doclcry,

for his highly esteemed old father,
and his frank and manly tactics were
admired by more than one. But he

of Satan and his political tactics.

with the understanding that he
Speares was going to move that the
nomination be made unanimous
But Speares was standing against
a crowd of men who were desperate
with disappointment. Among these
was Jim Moody who came painting
down the aisle in a fighting sweat
shouting "Mr. Chairmanl Mr.. Chair
mani" Speares yielded for a moment.
''Don't yield!" came to him from a score
of Russell men. The chairman show
cred the table with his gavel-blowS
and called Moody to order. ''Mr.
Speares yielded to mel" Moody cried
back

lessness,

never once lost his self-possession or
nerve.

man, and that was the last word he
said. For with step Of passion he left
the hall in a few moments.

AFTERNOoN sEssIoN.

Shortly after IL O'Clock the conyen-
tion was called to order by Chairman
Holton, and the report of the commit
tee on credentials was read by Chair
man Reynolds. A minority report was
submitted by Wheeler Martin Russell
ite), and George II. Smathers, who
seemed the only man on the committee
trying to find justice As soon as the
report was read, Mr.. Cook, of Warren.
leader of the Russell forces, took the
floor. I'VE are here FOR that which is
fair and right. That committee shows
division. They are not satisfied. We
have no evidence for intelligent action
| demand thatWe shall hear the evidence
The committeeman from the Second
district has his seat contested. The
Second district wants fairness. / will
go down fighting with my colors in my
hand, if ! am not treated with fairness.
He moved that each contestant and
contestee be allowed ten minutes to
present his case. (''That won't do"
said Pritchard). Tom Settle, leader Of
the Dockeryites, replied to Cook, and
said if the motion ought to be made
at all, it ought to have ben made before
the committee was appointed The
committee spent all night in their
work, and nobody should question
their integrity. He moved to table
Cooks motion. Cook demanded the
roll call. Great confusion followed.
While roll-eall was proceeding, when
Halifax was called. Cook, of Warren,
protested against permitting Halifax
To vote, Cook, of Warren, and French,
Of New Hanover, made speeches saying
Halifax had reported a contest, and 1t
could not vote. Then for twenty min
utes pandemonium broke loose, county
after county changing its vote, and
general melee Of hurrahing and holler-
ing that looked like a mob of anar-
chists, rather than American citizens.
Tom Settle tried to speak, and they
wouldn't hear him. Twenty-Five men
were on their feet in moment, and
Pritchard was begged to come forward.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
Sketch of the Career of Major
VIM. Mckinley.
Houston Post.

.
States, has lived the life of a
typical American and repeats
the familiar story of poor boy
hood, brave youth, struggling
manhood, successful middle
age and honors thick upon him
as in the SOS he began to reap
where he had sown and gather
ed the fruits of resolute life
full of inspiration for all young
Americans. Coming of good
Scotch Irish stock, with longev-
ity one of the characteristics on
both sides Of the house, the
president elect has the eXppcta-
ton of equally long years of
usefulness in the service Of his
country. He was born at Niles,
Ohio, on February %, 1914,
whittier his father had moved
from Pennsylvania, his birth
place. William Mckinley en-
tered the village school in
Poland, Ohio, to which his fam
lily had removed when only 5
years old. He remained in the
schools of that town until in
his 18th yeay, when he made
enough money by teaching in
a nearby district public schoo!
TO pay his matriculatlon fees
in Allegheny college. He re
manned at the college only II
few weeks when the call to
arms for the civil war came and
the pale faced, grayeyed. earn
est and patriotic young student
flung aside his books and de-
cided TO shoulder a musket.
And so his education in books
ended and that broader educa
ton OF stirring events and the
ways of men began.
Dining the war young Nc
KiuIey acquitted himself like

ranks fourteen months, but. was
soon promoted. Governor Tod
made him second lieutenant
and on February 7, 1868, h.
was promoted to first lieuten
ant, and on July %. 1864, cap
tain. This latter promotion was
supplemented by his appoint
mpnt as adjutant general of his
brigade, and he remained npon
the staff until mustered out in
July, 1865. 1t was as assistant
adjutant general that lie went
through Sheridan's famous cam
paigns in the Shenandoah val
ley. While on his way to

cutting attorney of Stark coun
ty, and his popularity was such
that in 1877 he was sent to
congress.
Major Mckinley was only 80
years old when, in 1877, the
people of the Canton district
elected him to represent them
in congress. 1t was a demo
cratic house, and the new mem
Der began his service at the
foot of the nnimportant law re-
vision committee. His first
term passed with no public
speech of note to his credit, hut
Speaker Samuel j. Randall had
noticed the studious application
of the young Ohioan and his
shrewdness in committee work.
Hence, at the outset Of his sec-
ond term Mckinley was placed
on the judiciary committee next
to Thomas Bracket Reed. His
au bition and mental prompt
ings led him to prefer the
ways and means committee.
His congressional prominence
may be said to have fairly
begun, therefore, with the 70
tirement of Garfield from the
ways and means committee af
ter his election to the presidenc,
in 1880. Mckinley was appoint
ed 10 the vacancy, and from
then until he retired from con
gress in 1891, after ten years of
service that would have been
continuous except for that por-
ton of the Forty-eighth con
gress when the democrats un-
seated him, lie remained upon
the most important committee.
1t Sas during this time that
the great tariff bill was passed
| (l8909 and then after his retire
ment from congress the repub-
licans Of Ohio bonored him by
twice elecling him governor Of
the State in 1898 and 1898 90

largest plurality (S0.955) ever
given q gUbarnatoriol candidate
in Ohio in time OF peace. Major
Mckinley has taken a promi-
nent part in the National re
publican conventions and hlr
name was mentioned for the
presidency in 1888, and again
in 1892.
Mr.. McKinley's home life is
very beautiful. He lives in IL
charming residence in Canton,
Ohio, with Mrs. Mckinley, WIN
was Ida Saxton, daughter of
the richest banker in Canton,
whom he married in 1871. Two
children were boru to them, but
they both died in early child
hpod. 1t was soon after the
birth of the second daughter
that the fact became apparent
that Mrs. Mckinley would be a
lifelong invalid. II is enough
to say that this husband aud
wife have never been parted
excepting during eXigeut work
in campaigning. During his
