CANTON. o., June 10 The enormous
majority to sustain the finance plank re-
ported by the committee on resolutions
pleased Major Mckinley hugely, while at
the same time he displayed visible signs
OK regret over tho action OF the sterling
lifelong Republican, Henry NJ. Teller.
During the session of the convention the
governor remained closely in his library
and was constantly in communication
with his friends at the st. Louis end Of
the wire.
The tariff plank of the platform gave
intense satisfactisr to Governor McKin-
ley. It is the apple Of his eye, the one
great question that is foremost in his
thoughts
As soon as the nomination was an
nounced here Major Mckinley was ten
dered an ovation by his friends and neigh
bors, which was the most enthusiastic
demonstration that has ever occurred in
this city. In response to their congratu-
latlons Major Mckinley said:

PATERSON, n. j., June l9.-This city
is wild with delight over the nomination
of Garret A. Hobart. He is popular with
every one here, and all classes are parad-
ing the streets, and all the fireworks in
the oity have been burned up.
Throughout the afternoon there were
great crowds about the different bulletin
boards watching the course OF events at
ST. Louis. There was cheering by the
Republicans when Mckinley was nomi-
mated. IL was shortlived. however. as
this city cared more about the second
place than it did for the first When the
mills and stores began to empty thsir
thousands into the streets. the crowds
about the newspaper and telegraph offices
became so dense that the cars could not
pass and the police had many times to
clear way As tho bulletins told the
story OF the convention after the nomina-
tion OF Mckinley the excitement became
intense. When II was announced that
Judge Fort had placed Mr.. Hobarts name
before the convention, there was great
cheering As the states voted each an
nouncement that added to the score Of the
Jerseyman was greeted with the widest
yells. When Il became apparent that Ho-
bart would be nominated on the first bal
lot, this crowd could not be restrained.
Every band in the oity was waiting,
and they poured into the streets, and their
music was the signal for the crowds to
gather about them. PROFESSIONS sprung
up on every side and marched IN all d.
rections. Those who did not go out 20
read the bulletins knew almost as soon as
those who did who had been nominated,
for every factory bell was sounded. This
was a signal for a general illumination OF
the buildings in the city, and no matter
which way one turns the houses are deco
rated by bunting. lanterns and pictures.
Most OF the professions made their way
to Mr.. Hobart's house and cheered. The
home of Governor Griggs. close by, was
decorated quickly when the result was
known, and 1t Is tonight the center Of the
demonstrations. Even the trolley carr
were ornamented with flags and bunting
