handed them about the hall In the
seats occupied by the Ohio delegation

AS InurstOn announced that Mckln-
ley received 66l12 votes the convention
burst into another furious Qemonstra-
ton. Finally Thurston recognized
Senator Lodge who moved that the
nomination be made unanimous in a
graceful speech in which he pledged
the support OF the followers OF Reed to
the nominee. General hastings, OF
Pennsylvania, followed IN behalf OF
the Quay contingent. Chauncey De-
pew arose to second the motion on be-
halt OF New York, but the chairman
recognized PlaLt, who in a simple SEN
tence seconded the motion an pledged
tne state OF New \ Ork 10 Mckinley.
Eloquent Dave" henderson, OF Iowa,
spoke for Allison. Shouts Tor DepeW
and Hanna came from all parts OF the
nall Both responded. When the mo-
ton to make the nomination unanimous
was put, the delegates rose en- masse.
The general impression was that the
convention would take recess at this
point and thousands Oh people lett the
nalI, but the uelegaLes mere determined
10 close the work OF the convention be-
lore adJourning. They supported
Lodges motion to proceed with The
nomination OF vice president immedl-
ately with great unanimity. 1t was
then 6:l5 and the convention had been
in session eight hours. Lodge also
moved that speeches be limited to five
minutes. Samuel Fessenden, of Con-
necticut, was recognized and nominal
ed by Burkeley. Judge Fort nom1n-
ated Hobart. Humphrey, of Illinois,
second the nomination of Hobart.
Randolph, of Tennessee, nominated
O Evans. Smith, of Kentucky, and la
O Toilette, of Wisconsin, seconded the
= nomination of Evans. Hobart received
600 IL NOLc6 Ul LlS uIoL DdIlUL, ne
= nomination was then made unanimous
o Bushnell, of Ohio, offered resolution
j., that Thurston be chairman of the com
o mittee to notify Mckinley, and FAIR
banks to notify Hobart, which was
, carried. The convention adjourned
sine die at 1850.
At McKinleys Home.
Canton, O., June 19.-Within few
: moments of the announcement of the
| nomination, kilograms began to pour
, in, and within a half an hour were
. numbered by the hundreds from all
, parts Of America. Mary Hanna's mod
est announcement was simply this:
"Ohio's vote nominated you; congrat-
, ulate you. NJ. A. Hanna" One of the
earliest was from Gov. Morton, of New
: York, who wired: "You may recall
my remark in 10 as we sat side by side
in the house of representatives that |
expected some day to see you president
of the United States. Please accept
today my heartiest congratulations"
WHAT WILL HE DO WITH HER?
