For Mckinley and Protection.

Parkersburg W. Va, May 1.-THE
state republican convention, which met
here today, was one of the largest and
most harmonious ever held in the state.
The following delegates to the ST. Louis
convention were elected by reclamation:
o. w. Hardman of Tyler. f. M. Rey-
nolds of Mineral county, ]. E. Dana or
Charleston and A. B. White of Parkers-
burg. -
The platform declares for protection
and instructs the delegates to vote for
Mckinley. Upon the financial question
the platform says:
1--WE denounce the unnecessary issue OF
government bonds in time of peace, a
transaction involved In a mystery which
has surprised and panied every man who
loves his country. We find great salts
faction in the fact that owing to the wise
and courageous stand of the republicans
from this state West Virginia may just
ly claim the credit of compelling the ad.
ministration to offer the latest loan to the
highest bidders.
1--WE demand a sound money policy,
which shall maintain at an equality of
purchasing power every dollar of Ameri-
can money. Every American dollar must
be worth 100 cents. The monetary sys-
TEN of the United States must be as
sound and safe as the soundest and safest
in the world"

AP A. CONVENTION.
The Temper of the Convention Is Pro-
nounced in Favor of Mckinley.


nounced in Favor of Mckinley.
Washington, May 1.-THE American
Protective association today adopted
resolution calling on the advisory board
to submit it's report not later than tomor-
row morning. The board. however, Is not
likely to respond before Saturday. 1t
has been wrestling with the action of its
executive committee In boycotting NC
Kinley, and the delay is understood 10
be urged in order that 1T can in the
meantime break the full force of the an
ticipated censure which that course is
likely to elicit. The temper of the con-
vention, it is said, has been so pro-
nounced in favor of Mckinley that the
committee has given up hope of having
its action approved. The Investigations
of the advisory board thus far have DEM
onstrated to it's satisfaction that the ex-
ecutive committee acted in good faith In
putting out the boycott. The committee
has fortified itself with mass OF testl-
mony which apparently justified its con-
illusions against Mckinley, but the SEN
timent of the convention is strongly OPP
posed to interference in national politics
before the platforms and nominations
are made.
Baltimore is the favorite place among
the delegates for next years convention.
1t is asserted tonight that since the con-
vention of the American Protective asSo-
citation began the Ohio delegation tele-
graphed to Mr.. Hanna dispatch. the
nature of which was to prevent Mr. eros
venor from making any further utter
ances detrimental to Judge stevens, anu
that the reply to the telegram was OF
character to thoroughly satisfy the
friends of Mckinley in the ASSOCIATION.
The address of President Traynor,
which was made public tonight, says the
association "has passed the probationary
milestone of it's existence, and today is d
recognized factor in American politics,
whose favor is openly contested by politi-
cal leaders, organizers and postuiants TOT
public office who year ago ignored
treated with contempt or denounced II.
A change of front, he says, which Is IN
dicative of it's strength and influence.
''It is no doubt highly essential that the
vote of the American Protective associa-
ton delegates to the national convention
should be conferred round patriots ike
Linton Gear Bradley and burroughs.
But it Is injudicious to make invidious
distinctions in this regard and to give
the results of elaboration to the press
before those interested and this SUI
preme council first passes upon matters
| of such vital moment. Any aSpirant Tor
presidential honors, in any section and
by any party, who desires the united
suffrage of our order must fully indorse
its principles and over his own signature
promise to maintain and uphold them to
the best of his ability"
The only reference in the address that
can be construed into an assault upon
those of the Catholic faith is an indirect
one.
The keynote of the American Protect
i've association, he remarks, Is the fact
that q papist, no matter how llperal
nominally, is not a consistent citizen or
the United States.

Pueblo, Col, May 14.-The republicans
of the Second Congressional district to-
day selected Charles Brickenstein and j.
O. Hart as delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention upon platform which instructs

ment in all matters.

before the committee to appeal for rep
resentation in certain districts. Argu-
ments were made an both sides. 1t was
openly stated that should the convention
decide to unSeat any of the deleg ates by
favoring the minority appeal the entire
Appahoe delegation will withdray. A tel
egram from Senator Wolcott was read
announcing his desire to withdraw from
the contest for a seat in the national con-
vention at ST. Louis as delegate from
Colorado in the interest of harmony and
the cause of bimetallism The friends of
Wolcott are now combining their efforts
to preventing q vote of censure. 1t Is
believed that they will succeed. Neither
will the delegates be instructed to bolt.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was submitted at $3.50 o'clock

Murray faction of Denver for representa-
ton. No further fight was waged and
