gave the Ohioan S2 votes or one-half of what had been anticipated, but the country districts immediately following rolled up their tens and scores against the senior senator from Illinois. Here and there delegation that was in structed for Mckinley gave a solitary vote to the other candidate, but gener- ally the instructions were respected and inducements regarded as good as in- structions. The only notable violation was that of this (Sanagmon) county, the twenty delegates from which in spite of Mckinley instructions voted solidly for their fellow townsman, Sen ator Cullom. When Stephenson county had been passed with fifteen counties still to hear from the motion was de- feated by ten majority, but it was not until Woodford, the last county on the list, had been called that the pent-up feeling broke loose.
 Then cheer after cheer arose and ban ners and Autographs of Ohio's eX-gov- ernor were waved in a dozen parts of the hall. The footing of the secretaries gave S32 votes against tabling the in structions to 503 in favor, a majority of 329, but before the vote could be announced Senator Fuller moved that in the resolution which he had pre- scented the name of William Mckinley be substituted for that of Shelby M. Cullom. This equalization of the op- position again let loose the enthusiasm which swelled into a cyclone when AL derman Madden in behalf of the Cook county machine moved that the substi- q exclamation.
 The compact was sealed with a mighty shout and then for ten minutes the victorious element gave itself up to a general jubilation. The defeated Chi cago men took the situation hard and refused to join in the publication. Pres ently they had a small revenge. The report of the committee appointed to name delegates at large and which had been made up In Cullom's interest, was presented It named William Penn Nixon of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, R. w Patterson of the Tribune, ex-Gov- ernor Fifer of Bloomington and D. T. Little of Springfield.
 The Mckinley minority of the Chica- go 900 wanted Mayor Swift substituted for Nixon, and roll call was ordered Two hundred and fifty Chicagoans vot- ed against the mayor, and aided by Mr. Nixon's large personal following in the country delegations succeeded in de- feating Swift by majority of 105.
 MT. Littler then withdrew his name and the McKinleyites chose the vener- able ex- Governor Oglesby in his stead Patterson and F'ifer were acceptable to them, and their names went through with a rush. General Horace Clark of Mattoon and Emil Hirsch of Chicago were selected as electors at large Chairman Gilbert read the report of the committee on resolutions as follows:
 The republicans of Illinois in conven- ton assembled again announce the fundamental principles of the party which have inspired it from it's birth to the present and given to it so many signal victories in it's contests for the rights of men. The people of the nation have learned by sad experience during the last three years of democratic mal- administration that the democratic party is prolific of promises when out of power and even more prolific of fail ures when in power; that instead of bringing the blessings which it promises it brings disasters financial and busi- ness Arrangements and gpanics of which even the democrats do not dream.
 The present administration of Grow CT Cleveland, by the bad administra- tion of good republican laws, and the enactment of bad democratic laws, has demonstrated that the democratic party ic I,Jo xDc,, ing the affairs of this great nation.
 Resolved, That we, the republicans of Illinois, are unyielding and emphat- ic in our demands for honest money. We are opposed, as we ever have been, to every and any scheme that will give to this country a currency in any way depreciated or debased, or in any re- spect inferior to the money of most advanced and intelligent nations of the earth We favor the use of silver as currency, but to the extent only such restrictions that parity with gold can be maintained"
 The republican party, from the days of Lincoln, has been devoted irrevoca- bly, to the doctrine of protection to home industries, and we hereby renew and reaffirm our faith in this funda mental principle. We believe in tar if that will produce revenue sufficient to meet the wants of government hon estly and economically administered, and high enough to insure to home labor regular and remunerative en- ployment
 We advocate the unrestricted ex change of non-competitive articles. We believe in reciprocity-the reciprocity of James G. Biaine-re- enforced by ex- perience and an earnest wish to extend our foreign commerce to the fullest ey tent consistent with the control of our own market in the sale of articles that can be profitably produced at home.
 We believe in the exercise of a gen. uine American spirit in all our inter- course with foreign nations and are op- posed to the extension of monarchical institutions upon any part of American soil. We condemn the vaccillating and un-American policy of the present dem- ocratic administration and advocate firm, vigorous and dignified policy to- ward all nations, and to that end we recommend the further strengthening of our coast defences and such an en- largement of our navy as shall com mand the respect of other governments and will more effectually promote our peaceful relations with all the world.
 We believe that the sympathy of this nation should be extended to all pco- pie who have been driven by oppres- sion and wrong to take up arms in be-
