ton for Mckinley failed and
the convention instructed its
delegates to work for Morton.

Thomas Fitchie of Kings read q minor
ity report naming delegates favorable
to Mckinley and instructing them to
use all honorable means to secure the
Ohioan's nomination. The reading of
the report put the house in an uproar
and for five minutes business was sus.
pended. When quiet was restored the
roll was called and the minority report
defeated by a vote of 631 to 100.
The platform declares for protection,
favors reciprocity, ~denounces the agita.
ton in favor of fire. coinage and de-
clares for the gold standard, and in.
dorses the presidential candidacy of

the west, satisfied with the outcome Of
the convention although it was not what
they went after. The Mckinley senti-
ment was too much for the Allison logic
and the ~latter's forces gracefully yielded
TO the inevitable. Judge Gardner was
permanent chairman and the delegates
nominated by the respective districts
were, with one exception, endorsed by
the conv, ntion by reclamation. The
contest in the Aberdeen circuit between
Jewett and David Williams Of Webster
resulted on a vote in favor OF Williams.
The delegation in the order of districts
are AS follows: l.. B. French, r. F.
Pettigrew, Carl Sherwood, d. A. Miner,
DAVID Williams, H. T. Meacham. w. V.
Lucas, Walter Smead. No platform was
adopted. Resolutions i%nstructing for
VIM. Mckinley, for president, endorsing
the Minneapolis platform, and RELOCATING
the silver and other issues to the declar-
atoms OF the st. Louis convention were
unanimously passed before electing del
egaSes and each delegate as he was NOM
mated was given three minutes to state
his position relative to the resolutions.
The convention was harmonious and en-
thusiastic throughout.
