THIRD DAY.
ST LOUIS, Juno 18. After ten
hours session in torrid heat and dis
tressing noise the 1ith national Re-
publican convention nominated q
ticket pre- ordained from the first by
the Ohio political managers, who
practically controlled the gathering,
and named WIN. Mckinley of Ohio,
and Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey
for President and Vice President re-
sptctively, Of the United States.
No effort was put forth to carry out
the much-talked of purpose of confer
ring the second place upon Levi u.
Morton. Mr.. Hobart went through
the first ballot with many votes to
spare. Word was passed around after
Mckinley had been safely landed,
that Mr.. Mcllinley's friends desired
the election Of Mr.. Hobart.
THE VOTE BEGUN I
Amid q hush the call Of States was
begun, and Alabama led off with for
Morton and 10 for Mckinley. Arkan-
sas and California cast their solid votes
for Mckinley. Connecticut cast five
votes for Reed and seven for Nick lin
ley; Delaware q solid vote for McKin.
Icy; Florida eight for Mckinley !;
Georgia two for Reed, two for Quay
and % for Mckinley.
One Of the colored delegates from
Florida made angry protests, insisting
on challenging the vote, and Thurs.
ton, who had resumed the chair, de-
cided that the right to challenge
should be given every delegate. The
delegation being polled, it was found
that Morton. had Q votes in Florida
and Mckinley only 8 instead of s, as
announced by the chairman of the
delegation.
A challenge of Georgia followed,
and resulted in confirming the vote as
previously announced. A colored del
egate from Alabama followed with q
challenge of tho vote of that State,
which resulted in showing that in
stead of casting solid vote for Mo
Kinley, the vote should have shown
for Morton, Q for Reed aud McKin-
ley 19. #
Illinois, 4G for Mckinley and Q for
Reed was challenged, and poll
showed no change. Indiana cast it's 80
votes for Mckinley.
Iowa, amid slight demonstration
of applause, cast its 26 votes for ALI.
son; Kansas 90 tor Mckinley; Ken
lucky 26 for Mckinley. Louisiana
cast curious vote: Half vote for AL.
lisOn, half vote for Quay, for Reed
and II for Mckinley. So the voting
went on without further incident un.
til Massachusetts, gave vote for Nc.
Kinley and the rest for Reed.
The Mckinley column steadily in.
creased When Mississippi's 18 votes
were cast for Mckinley, another of
the colored delegates demanded poll,
which showed l vote for Quay and II
for Mckinley.
Montana cast vote for Mckinley,
for Don Cameron of Pennsylvania,
| blank and 1 absentee. The chair
called the name of Mr.. Hartman's al
ternate, and he voted blank. .5s
There was decided sensation whom
the vote OF New York was challenged
by Warner Miller. It had been an
nounced as ID for Morton and II for
| Mckinley. Joseph H. Newins was
absent in the frat district, and the
name OF his alternate was called. Mr..
Gruber raised a laugh by saying: "He
is just leaving the room to avoid vot.
ing"
The next alternate wns called and
voted for Mckinley.
The delegation voted solidiy for
Morton till that of the votes were
reached when the halves divided equal.
ly between Mckinley and Morton.
Then came quite q number of breaks
for Mckinley, and three absentees
were noted in the 29th district, John
e. Parkhnrst and both the alternates.
Charleg M. Woodward and Charles II.
Andrews. The poll resulted in show
ing the vote to be exactly as announc-
ed Morton 81, Mckinley II.
When Ohio was reached the reuuis-
ite number Of votes were given to
nominate mckinley, and the conven-
ton, recognizing tho fact without an.
nouncement, broke into cheers.
Texas delayed The final announce
ment a little by challenge from one
of the dissatisfied colored bretheren.
The poll resulted in 81 Mckinley, 6
I{eed, 8 Allison and absent.
Another colored delegate chalieng-
ed the vote OF Virginia and again de-
layed the Official announcement of the
final result, eliciting remarks Of inn
patienca and dissatisfaction frnr,o tho
