They said of Governor Morron's father that
he was New England clergyman who brought
up family of ten children on $500 year,

heart. 1t is the principle which moves Ameri-
can spindles, starts its industries and makes
the wage-earners sought for, instead of seek
ing employment. That principle is embodied
in Mckinley. His personality explains the
nomination to-day, and his personality will
carry with HIM to the Presidential chair the
aspirations of the voters of America, of the
families of America, of the homes of America
protection to American industry and America
for Americans. lCheers.]

were raised. Mr.. Hanna, from the body
of the hall responded in few words which
were almost inaudible in the confusion,
pledging himself to take his place in the
ranks and work for the election of Nc
Kiniey.
The chair put the question: "Shall the
nomination be made unanimous?' and by
a rising vote it was so ordered. The chair
announced that William Mckinley was
the candidate of the Republican party for
President of the United States.
