great dissatisfaction among the stockh9ld-
ers of the Ohio Steel company at tho pros
peotive closing OF the plant as result OF
the steel POOLS influence. The mills have
been turning out 1000 tons of billets a
week. and many manufacturers took stock
in the enterprise on the understanding
that they could get billets right at homo
for a reasonable price. President Henry
Wick and Secretary W. II. Baldwin OF the
company left for Pittsburg for the pur-
pose Of signing the pool contract with the
Carnegie interest, and if that is done the
plant will be closed permanently, It Is
said.

Senator Cullom gave out the following
statement regarding the resultof the con
vention
THE Republicans OF Illinois in their
state convention have shown that they
want the delegates at large to support
Major Mckinley for president That ac-
ton is binding and conclusive. 1t Is not
to bo construed as unfriendly to any Of
the candidates. but as an expression Of
their preference Every Republican IN
Illinois will accept it. Personally have
no fault 10 find I came out TO the con-
vention, as Iihavo been in the habit OF do
ing for years past, particularly whom held
in my own home. That some of my friends
gave their support 10 Major Mckinley
was perhaps natural, as he has been in
the minds OF the people as candidate for
tho last two or three years. Some months
ago. when the conditions seemed such that
my friends believed It would be advnn-
taqeous 70 Illinois 10 have my name pre-
sented as a candidate at st. Louis, i left
the matter IN their hands My public du-
ties have kept mo constantly in Washing
ton, and / have made no canvass. The
preference which the Republicans Of the
state have shown will be faithfully car.
ried out in the national convention. II
Major Mckinley should be nominated, II
will be hecause OF the popular belief that
he most thoroughly typifes those cardinal
principles Of the Republican party which
are embodied in our platform.
