uous Sesxion Lasting Over
8. NinC Hours.

ST. LOUIS, June 1a-The battle has
been fought in the Republican ma
tional convention. William McKin-
ley, of Ohio, is the nominee of the
party for president and Garrett A.
Hobart, Of New Jersey, for vice-presi.
dent on a platform distinctly declar-
ing for gold monetary standard.
The only really sensational feature
of the convention was the withdrawal
of some of the western silver leaders,
headed by Senator Teller, of Colorado,
An event that had been discounted
by previous declaration of inten-
tion. The proceedings, as a whole, were
of the cut-and-dried order, the results
being practically as they were mapped
out by the Mckinley managers; SO that
while there has been a certain amount
Of enthusiasm manifested. it has been
as nothing compared with other his
toric republican conventions.
Following is q synopsis of the pro-
ceedings:
