MCKINLEY AND THE a. P. A..
Mr.. Morrow Defends the Ohio States
mans Americanism.

Cleveland, Ohio. April 15.-The fol-
lowing statement vas given to the AS.
ISOLATED Press by James b. Morrow,
editor of the Cleveland Leader, a news
paper which perhaps more nearly rep
resents Mckinley than does any other
paper: persons who pretend to be
conspicuous members of the A. p. A.,
have given circulation to uhe statement
that Hon. William Mckinley is a mem
Der of the Ancient Order of H~ibernians,
that II. A. Hanna, McKinley's personal
and political friend, is a Roman Catho,
lie. that Mr.. Boyle, McKinley's private
secretary, is also a Roman Catholic and
finally, that while Mckinley was gov>
ernor of Ohio his appointments were
largely made from the members of a
certain religious denomination. 1t IL
urged that Mckinley is not the right
kind of an American. This Statement
Is untrue in part and in whole. Me-
Kinley's Americanism reaches back to
the war of independence. William Nc
Kinley himself was a private in the un>
len army while yet a boy and carried 4
musket for four years. He is a member
of the Methodist Episcopal church and
has been a member of that denomina>
ton nearly all his life. His ancestors
and family for two. generations have

A MURDERER KILLED.
After Shooting Down Two Men
in Cold Blood.
HIS WAGES ATTACHED.
And III Was Out for blood In Con.e-
quence-K eilehtr, ths City Marshal,
Not Expected TO LIve-A Crime
Up TO COIOradO's Record.

Central City, Colo, April 15.-At 10
O'Clock this morning Sam Covington,
an ore hauler of Nevadaville, shot two
men. Dick Williams and Mike Kelleher.
The latter is not expected to live. Cow
ington himself was shot and killed.
Williams injuries are not serious
and will probably recover
C%ovington came to Central this
morning and walked into the office of
T. Seeright, who had attached his
wages, to the of SCI. and point
ed a gun at him. Seeright. being close
to him, grabbed the pistol and the bull
let went into the floor.
Two men who were in the rooom left
and went after an officer.
Seeright then asked him what the
row was about, and on being informed,
said he would write a receipt, and sat
down to his desk to do so.
Mike Kelleher, the marshal, then ap-
peared at the door and asked what the
matter was. Covington turned and
said, "Ill show you," and fired.
The bullet struck the edge of the
door and hit Kelleher in the right
breast, and the ball probably lodged in
the left lung.
The man then went to the head of the
stairs and saw four men waiting for
him at the bottom. Among them was
Dick Williams, ex-mayor, who fired at
~Covington. The latter returned the
shot and Williams received it in the
abdomen.
C%ovington then walked down stairs
without any opposition and out into
the street, with a gun in each hand. He
turned toward Nevadaville.
In a few minutes the business men
were alarmed and set out in pursuit
with guns and pistols.
| Covington turned and fired two shots
at Judge Alright. The crowd still fol
lowed him up and Sherman Harvey and
Henry Lehman jumped into a milk
wagon and started after Covington
who was on his way to Nevadaville.
%Covington started to fire at Lehman
but the latter was too quick for him,
and fired himself. hitting Covington in
he intestines and liver. C%ovington
died in half an hour without speaking
or explaining his conduct.
kelleher, the marshal, is not expect
ed to live, and an expert surgeon from
Denver has been sent for.

DEMOCRATS.

Denver, Colo. April 15.-The demo-
cratic state convention was held here
today. After adopting a free silver
platform, and electing n delegate at
large, adjourned to 1880 tonight. AS
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina was
convention wat ~transaoting its bust
ness 1t was impossible to proceed with
further elections until after the ex-
governor had finished.
The theater wai packed with people
anxious to hear se3ator Tillman speak.
Thousands of persons were unable to
obtain admfttance to the theater. Sell
dom has a political leader received
such an ovation in Denver as did Sem
ator Tillman tonight. Before Mr.. Till
man began his speech letters and tele,
grams of a congratplatory nature were
read by the secrets1y of the state cen
trial committee. fr@n Governor Stone
of Missouri, Senator'S Vest of Missouri.
Daniel of Virginia and Call of Florida.
Tillman prefaced his speech with the
history of the democratic and republl>
car parties. He soon drifted into a
sarcastic argument against President
Cleveland and the present administra-
ton. He remarked: Who is this man
at Washington m~asquerading in the
clothes of Jefferson and pretending to
be introducing reforms? God, that the
name of democracy should be disgraced
by such a man as Grover Cleveland.
He spoke in this same strain when
referring to Senator Sherman. Major
iSScKinley and Secretary Carlisle. He
concluscd. we are face to face with
a crisis. MehSrre casting about to find
out where the shoe pinches."
He urged democrats and republicans
alike to bolt their respective national
conventions should gold platforms be
adopted, and assured the Colorado
delegation that the south would stand
solid with the west should it be neces-
sary to level the convention hall"
The convention then resumed and
will probably elect the balance of the
delegates.
After the conclusion of Tiflman's ad-
dress, the convention resumed work
and chose Thomas j. O'Donnell of Ara
pahoe, B. o. Sweeney OF Los Animas
and Adair Wilson of La Plata as dele
gates at large. Charles E. Thomas had
been previously selected by acclama-
ton. The first congressional district
chose R. W.. Speer and the second dis
triot H. H. Seldomrige.

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
Elect Mckinley Delegates and Declare
Against Free Silver.

Omaha, Neb., April 15.-The state
convention Of the Nebraska republicans
to select four delegates to the national
convention convened at Omaha to-
night. One thousand and f1fty-seven
delegates were present. Notwfthstand-
ing the general concession that the
body was unanimously for Mckinley
for president and ready to accept any,
Thurston, the session was by NO means
harmonious and a fight of considerable
proportions developed early. Ex-Gov-
ernor Crounse asked consent to intro.
duce a resolution. 1t was granted, but
when the secretary began reading the
instrument the storm broke. II was
intended as a rebuke to Senator Thurs,
ton for activity in the campaign
throughout the state leading up to the
selection of delegates. It rectted that
the senator had left has seat In the zen
ate and forgetting the dignity Of his
high ONCE, dabbled In ward politics;
aspired to be a dictator. Senator
Thurston was quick to reply, declaring
his political career was free from any
dishonorable act. The resolution was
tabled without discussion. The fol-
lowing delegates were selected snd In
structed to support NcK1nbys J. L.

Bradley Men Defeat Mckinley Men

Louisville. KY, April 15.-The re-
publican state convention, after two
long and weary sessions, adjourned
shortly after midnight until 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning. While nothing
more than organization and a few
nomination speeches were accomp-
lished, the result Of the days proceed
ings served to make certain the con.
troll of the Bradley men to secure for
the governor the endorsement of his
state as a presidential candidate, the
adoption of a platform to his liking,
containing a fiat declaration for the
gold standard and the selection of dele
gates at large from this state favoring.

ment in the convention and the
