son were in their seats ready 10 take au-
vantage of any crisis which might be Ia
vorable to a combination on Reed or some
other man.

nation of some kind and they, wisely per-
hans. refused even to take a recess
Warm appeals were made to Hanna lo'

EVERYTHING MKINLEflTE'
Tn the evening the ballotins began, ana

assured.
ON the ballot North Carolina voted IL IL
for Mckinley and 2l-2 for Reed. VIZ
