QUICK WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The Resolutions Go Through with Scarce
ys show Of Opposition from DeIegat,s
who Had Been Expected to Make a Hit

INDIANAPOLIS, May s The Indiana Re-
publican convention Thursday instructed
its delegation to st. Louis to vote for
william Mckinley for president with
scarcely show Of opposition from the
people who had been expected to make a
bitter fight on the Ohio major. The in
structions went through with a rush
which surprised even the most en-.
thuslastic friends of Mr. Mckinley
and although there was a vigorous cry OF
Nay when the adoption Of the platform
containing the resolution was moved the
chairman decided that the resolutions
We're unohallenged and nc division was
called for. There was no unusual display
oil enthusiasm, although McKinley's name
was repeatedly and enthusiastically
cheered
humor That Was Unfunded.
The widely circulated rumor that ex.
President Harrison would deliver an ad-
dress before the convention which would
make Mckinley instructions impossible
proved TO be absolutely devoid of founda-
uon the general not appearing before the
resolutions were considered. The plat
FORM adopted without opposition, reaffirms
Harrlson's last administration; reaffirms
Republican protection principles; declares
Tor sound money, favoring the use Of both
gold and silver at a parity and interna-
tional bimetallism, but declares against
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at ratio Of 10 to I, and concludes with
strong Mckinley instructions. There
was hot contest over the various state
nominations which kept the convention
In session all day.
