A Warm Fight Likely to Take Place over the
Financial Questlon At Des Moines.

Dies MoINEs, Ia, Ju'y 10 Over
100 delegates and as many spec
tators were present in the tabernacle,
to-day, when Hon. III G. Mcmillan,
chairman Of the state cintral com.
mittee, called to order the state re-
publican convention, to place In
nomination candidates for secretary OF
state, auditor, treasurer, attorney
general, Judge of the supreme court,
railroad commissioner and two
electors. at.large. After the opening
prayer, Hon. w. P. Hepburn, OF Fair.
field. was Introduced as temporary
chairman, and delivered an energetic
address. For secretary Of state there
are four candidates. Auditor McCar-
thy, State Treasurer John Herriott
and Attorney General Milton Renley
will be re-nominated by scclamation.
There is a warm fight for the supreme
judgeship.
The financial question promises to
be bone of contention in the conven-
ton. There ia a strong silver element,
but considerable number OF the dele
gates are IN anything but pleasant
state OF mind over the summary turn
ing down of Senator Allison, at ST.
Louis. The position at that time also
of Senator Gear and Congressman
Henderson and Hepburn, in seeking to
avoid straight-out declaration for
gold by the national convention, has
raised the question whether to.day's
convention will repudiate the gold
plank in the national platform, or
whether it will turn down the senator
and the two representatives. There
promises to be warm fight on this
question in the committee on resolu-
tions.
The committee on resolutions have
rejected the platform, submitted by
Hon. A. B. Cummins, national COM
mitteeman, because OF its great length,
and have appointed subcommittee
OF five to draft, brief declaration.
There is no dissension as to principles.
Congressman Hepburn said that,
while he was favorable to the use Of
silver as money, yet he regarded the
democratic plan IS fraught with I'M
measurable disaster.
Alter the announcement Of commit
tees, the convention took recess until
2 O'Clock, this afternoon.

Mr. HANNA'S COMMITTEES

CANTON, Ohio, July l5.-On their
special train, with their own band,
several hundred Cleveland women
came to Canton, this morning, to call
upon Major Mckinley and congratulate
him and the nation, as one OF them put
1t, upon his nomination. A fast and
furious summer rain fell through most
of the morning, but 1t did not prevent
the Canton people from turning out in
large numbers, and with cordial good
will, to welcome their fair visitors.
The Cleveland delegation was met
at the railway station by large COM
mittee of Canton women, under the
leadership of Mrs. Miller. president Of
the Sorosis, and Mrs. Kate Brownlee
Sherwood. The Cleveland women
marched from the depot to the
residence of Major Mckinley. He was
standing on the porch to receive them.
A speech of congratulation was made,
on the part of the visitors, by Mrs.
Elroy Avery, of Cleveland, state regent
of the Daughters OF the Revolution.
She was heartily and frequently ap-
plauded. A song, written for the oc-
casion by Mrs. N. Coe Stewart, presi-
dent of the Cleveland Sorosis, was
sung, with great spirit and effect.
In response to Mrs. Avery's remarks,
Major Mckinley in part, said "There
is no limitation to the influence that
may be exerted by the women in the
United States, throughout its long and
eventful history. In distant period,
its settlement; in days of revolutions;
in trials of western pioneer life; dur
ing the more recent days of civil war
indeed. in every step of our progress
as a nation, the devotion and sacrifices
of woman, have ever been constantly
apparent, often conspicuous. Zap
