1t Is Not
Reasonable

To suppose that a dealer who
knows his business, who
knows values, as no novice
can know them, would
charge you for his knoWl-
edge. knowledge of goods
makes it easy for him to pur-
chase right; and to sell right.
We claim to carry the best
goods known in our various
lines, and quality considered
sell them lower than most
houses in our line of trade.
1t is quality we brag on; it
is the backing we give our
goods which make them
right to you, for there is no
question but what our
guarantee means ABSO-
Lutte RELIABILITY.

CHAIRMAN HANNA
Gives Out Statement Relative to the
Chicago Nominations.

CLEVELAND, July 11.-Hon. NJ. A.
Hanna, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, authorizes the fol-
lowing statement on the platform and
Presidential nomination at Chicago:
The nomination. of ex-Congressman
William j. Bryan of Nebraska at Chi
cago Friday afternoon was [ think.
simply a climaX-a fitting one to such "a
convention, controlled as it was by %
combination of the most radical and
revolutionary sentiment in politics. The
effect on the country will be to bring to
the surface the honest and patriotic
purposes of all good and true citizens,
who think more of their country's honor
and integrity than party affiliations. 1t
will make this campaign one of serious
ness, because the questions involved are
the most important as affecting the in
terests of the country that have been
before the American people since the
Presidential campaign of 1860. The
Chicago platform means revolution and
repudiation. My judgment is that party
lines will be broken up, to the great ad-
vantage of the Republican party, which
will stand for all that is true and Amer
lean in this issue.

doubtful if there is a man who is as

FOURTH BALLOT.
The fourth ballot was then begun. In
the course of the vote Mr.. Fithian of
Illinois declared (out of order and amid
great confusion) that the convention
could not afford to nominate man for
the Vice Presidency who had announce
ed that he could not support one prin-
ciple of the national platform-that in
favor of imposing an income tax. The
Chairman refused to allow any debate
during the vote and directed Mr. Fifth
ian to take his seat.

nounced as follows: Williams of Massa-

SEWALL NOMINATED.
Before the fifth ballot was entered

cation made the following statement:
''The Ohio delegation has received two
kilograms from Mr.. Mclean. They
state substantially what I said this
morning, but that you may have the
exact words / will read what Mr. Nc
Lean says. He speaks for himself, not
for the Ohio delegation: Any vote cast
for me is against my expressed wish
and against my authority. Please an
nounce this to the convention.
This is Mr.. Mclean; not the Ohio
delegation" added Mr.. Stone.
Nevertheless, the effect of the tele-
gram was felt in the next ballot. Louisi-
ana and other States which had voted
for Mclean changed to Sewall, and
when Wisconsin was reached sufficient
votes had been cast for Sewall to elect
Nebraska Immediately changed her 1S

which antagonizes the honesty and in
telligence of the American people, and
which If it should find expression on
the statute book would mean the de-
basement of the currency, the prostra-
ton of business and the degradation of

the Republican party has openly and
positively taken up its position for the

tiOn possible.
George w. Fithian Of Illinois spoke in
support of the nomination of Sibley,
"Pennsylvania's honored son. AL
though Sibley had been represented as
a Populist, he was as good a Democrat
as any man who had a seat in the con-

The Chairman cut him short by de-
claring that debate was not in order.
1t became evident that the Bland
movement was not a success, and Gov
ernor Stone of Missouri, who had with
held the vote Of his State until the last,
got up and said that the Missouri dele
cation had no authority to present the
name of Mr.. Bland for the nomination
for Vice-President, but if the conven-
ton voted for him they did so on their
own responsibility. He then proceeded
to cast the vote of Missouri for other
candidates.

dered, but before it had proceeded far
the Chairman said he thought it proper
to interrupt the balloting to introduce
Hon. Amos Cummings of the Tammany
Society, New York, who would read a
telegram which would be of interest.
Mr.. Cummings then took the stage and
read the following dispatch from Mr..

When Missouri was called Governor
Stone said: Under instructions Of the
majority of the delegation, Missouri
casts her thirty votes for Bland. This
was cheered, but the second attempt to
turn the convention over to Bland did
not make much further progress, Ar
thur Sewall running him close.
When New York again declined to
vote the people in the galleries, led by a
man at the back of the platform, raised
a yell, and a delegate from Minnesota
said the convention had been disturbed
all the morning in this way, and he
would ask that the Sergeant -at-Arms
be asked to employ sufficient force to
keep this internal mob quiet.
