M'KINLEY, HOBART AND HARMONY.
War Cry of New York Republicans
Sounded Last Evening.

New York, June %. The first big rat
ihoation meeting Of the approaching cam-
paign was held tonight at the Carnegj je
Music hall under the auspices of the Re-
publican county committee, to endorse the
nominees of the st. LoCis convention.
Every seat was filled. When Thomas G.
Platt, accompanied by Cornelius Van
Cott and others entered the hall they re-
ceived warm welcome. Edward Lau-
terbach, chairman Of the Republican
county committee acted as chairamn.
He predicted that at the next election
at least one hundred and seventy thou
sand Republicans would cast their votes
in the city of New York for Mckinley
and Hobart. He stated thnt the local
organization was intent upon one pur-
pose only, the destruction of Tammany
Hall, and the building upon it's rains of
O great Republican party that should
control Greater New York. The next
speaker was Mr.. Platt. As he stood up
the uproar o. cheering and hand clapping
continued several minutes. When the
noise subsided, Platt remarked that his
confidence in his party's success and his
devotion to it's candidates were never
greater than at that minute. He declared
that the party could not lose on the issue
of protection and honest money. Mr..
Platt in conclusion said: "The Repub-
Hcans of New York are united in behalf
of the candidates nominated. and the
platform adopted at St Louis. hope
they will be no less united in all matter,
that affects the welfare of their party and
the honor of their state. AT the end of
his speech cheers were given for McKin-
ley, Hobart, and harmony. Speeches
were made by Senator Hitchcock and
others.

today received long letter from Sena-
tor Quay, in which he says: 'tI did not
push congratulations over the wire from
st. Louis, for you are not, think, to be
felioited upon the annoying campaign
ahead, nor upon the severe trials which
must succeed your election. I do. how
ever, congratulate you upon the splendid
vote Of confidence you received from the
convention, which represents the absolute
thought Of the Republican party of the
nation"
Private Secretary Boyle, who returned
from St. Louis last night, went to work
this morning upon the mail and tele-
grams which had accumulated and ex-
poets to get replies to more than 5000 SEN

Afternoon-Mr. George W. stearns Will
Be the Manager-A Notable Addition
to Portland's List of Hotels,
Yesterday afternoon the Rines Bros. in
vited the newspaper men to view of
their new hotel. the Congress Square, a
most acceptable addition to Portland s
list of hotels. The Congress Square, as is
well known to our citizens, is located at
the corner of Green and Congress streets,
ON the site of the old City hotel The
work upon it was begun late in 1894,
and has been continued up to the present
time, as the Rines Bros. were determined
that all the work should be thorough, and
therefore had it done by the day. AS a
result there is not a crack to be found
anywhere, and the different contractors
are to be highly praised. Mr.. f. H.
Fassett was the architect and the result
of his plans is noble. seven story struo-
ture-the tallest building in the city-85
by 115 feet in size.
The hotel is built of face brick with
free stcne trimmings. The frame is of
steel, with steel beams and columns,
thus giving greater strength and light
ness com bined, to the edifioe. On the
Cong ress street front, in the centre of the
building, large double doors open into
the front office, spacious apartment
thirty feet in width by ninety-fee in
breadth, and lighted in the day time by
large plate glass windows looking out on
the street, and at night by twelve large
gilt chandeliers, arranged for both cleo
tic light and gas, and this is a feature
all over the house, the electric light or
gas can be used as preferred. The floor
of the front office is laid in small marbles
that gives most excellent effect, and is
extremely neat and stylish. The vain
soothing is a cherry, and the walls are
tinted to harmonize with the wainsoot-
ting, and the ceiling is handsomely fres-
coed. Large chains of oak, upholstered in
leather, attract the weary guest. On the
right side of the office is the desk where
Mr.. George W. StearDs, the genial mana
ger and his clerks, will welcome the trav-
ell er as he registers. Back of the office
desk is a large and eommodious cloak
room. Opposite the office desk is the tel
egreph office, and next to it the porter
room and the trunk room.
The Office corridor is 1oored in hard
woods, and leads into large square room
that is also entered from Green street,
and will be the newsroom, where all the
leading papers will be on file, including
on the Green street side, is spacious
barber shop, aud, at the end of the cor
ridor, large lavatory and toilet rooms
with open plumbing in the latest STYLE
and floors laid in black and white marble

Mems Republican club held ratification
meeting tonight. The interest centered
in the speech of Delegate Albert E. Smith
of Leicester, who was the only Massa-
chusetts delegate to vote for Mckinley
Mr.. Smith denounced the doings Of the

ses of the state. He termed the keeping
Of Mr.. Reeds name before the conven-
tion as brutal. The Republican party he
said was for gold MIR. Hanna was ready
to put gold in the platform at the proper
time, but he was not ready to shake red
rag at an infuriated bull. Smiths speech

rounds of cheers showed clearly thai his

Interesting Democratic State Convention
in Wisconsin-The Gold Men Have a
Clear Majority, But Minority Made
Themselves Heard.
Peoria, ILL.,, June 23 Representatives
of the Democracy cf Illinois assemble
today to select a state ticket and to name
delegates to the national convention in
Chicago.
Fully $500 people were present and a
couple of Thousand more were unable to
gain admittance.
Ale xander Hamilton Bell of Carlin-
vile was temporary chairman.
Hon. Charles K. Ladd, the permanent
chairman, made fiery speech. Ex-Con-
gressman Worthington declared that the
eastern gold bugs were responsible fo1 40
cent wheat and $40 houses, but there was
sentiment breeding in the West that
would paralyize them. Gov Altgeld then
appeared on tho platform and was given
an ovation. He spoke at some length.
The governor declared that if all men
who thought aliKe gu the great questions
OF the daYshould stand together the hire-
lIngs of the plutooracy would be routed.
He then turned his attention to some of
those influential party leaders whose ad-
vice had been followed with the RESULT,
as he asserted, that the Democratic party
was neutral on almost every subject, and
every great issue had to be straddled for
fear Of losing votes. In order to win he
said the party must take decided stand
on the great questions
a platform was adopted which in part
says: "We favor the soundest and safest
money known to man, and as experience
shows that this consists of both gold and
silver with equal rights Of coinage and
full legal tender power, we demand the
repealo the Republican and plutocratic
legislation which demonitized silver, de-
stroying by one-half the stock of real
money.
"Ws believe bi-nletalism is absolutely
necessary 10 the prosperity of mankind.
We demand the immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver.''
The delegates were instructed to use all
honorable means to secure u like deolara-
tion by the national convention.
Altgeld was renominated for governor
by acclanation. The following delegates
at large to the national convention were
chosen: Gov. Altgeld, Secretary of State
Henhiehssn, ex-Congressman Fithian,
Judge Mcconnell. At 7.30 the convention
adjourned sine die.

Victory For Liberals i'm Canadian Elec-

Tariff Chief Issue. But Manitoba School
Law Helped Defeat the Conserva-
tiyes.

Toronto, June 23. Elections for Far
lament took place throughout the Do
minion today, and the contest was prob
ably the most hottest and in some re-
spects the most bitter in the history
of Canada. The result is complete
overthrow of the Conservative govern
ment. led by Sir Charles Tupper. While
the tariff question was the most import
ant issue of the campaign, the Manitoba
school question aroused great degree of
enthusiasm and excitement, and a lead
ing feature in the election was the
double headed policy Of the Conservative
party on the question, many Conservatives
running as supporters of the government
on all questions except as regards TO it's
Manitoba remedial legislation. Three
cabinet ministers in the Tupper govern
ment were defeated. Hon. Wilfred Lau-
r Ter, Liberal leader was elected for two
constituencies, Quebec east and Saskat-
ohewan. Tbs vote at midnight stands

al leader at the ssembing of the house
will have o clear majority of 46, irrespeo-

were appointed. During the recess the
free silver men to the number of about 60
held a caucus and resolved to make fight
for two delegates at large and oppose
the gold standard in the platform. When
