raised laugh by saying: "He's just
leaving the room to avoid voting" The
next alternate was called and voted for
Mckinley. The delegation voted solid
" for Morton until the half votes were
reached, when the halves divided
equally between Mckinley and Morton.
Then came quite a number of breaks
for Mckinley, ard three absentees were
noted in the Twenty ninth District.
John f. Parker and beth the alternates.
The poll resulted in showing the vote
to be exactly as announced: Morton 81,
Mckinley IL.
When Ohio was reached the requisite
number of votes was given to nominate
Mckinley, and the convention, recog-
nizing the fact without announce
ment, broke into cheers. Texas delayed
the final announcement a little by a
challenge from one of the dissatisfied
colored brethren. The poll resulted

absent Another colored delegate
challenged the vote of Virginia, and de-
layed the final announcement. Vir-
ginias vote ON a poll stood: Reed /,
Mckinley %.
All the rest of the call of States went
selid for Mckinley. When the Ter
ritories were reached New Mexico cast

and amid howls of derision one of the
delegates challenged the vote. A poll
confirmed the accuracy of the an
nouncement. Alaska wound up the
roll by casting it's newly conferred
four votes for Mckinley.
The absent delegate from New York,
Mr.. Parker, here appeared, and by
unanimous consent cast his vote for

All of the States had been called. The
Chairman stated before the announce
nent of the result that application had
been made to him for recognition by
the representatives of the defeated can
lidateS to make a certain motion He
believed it would be the fairest way To
recognize them in the order in which
the names had been made.
He then proceeded to state the re-
suit of the vote. When he announced
that William Mckinley had received
661L votes the scene of an hour ago
was repeated Delegates and spectat
ors arose and cheered and waved flags
and banners and the panpas plumes
Of California; the band struck up MY
Country, 'Tis of Thee and cheers and
huzzas rent the air.
There was not a single one of the fif-
teen or sixteen thousand persons pres
ent in the hall who did not do his or
her best to swell the sounds of jubi
lee, and to join in the grand popular
demonstration in favor of the success
full candidate. The women were as en-
thusiastic as the men. 1t seemed as
though no one would be seated again
and orderly proceedings would never
more be attempted. One man on the
Platform waved on the point of the
national banner a cooked hat such as
the conqueror of Marengo is repre-
sented as wearing. This symbol Of
victory added, if possible to the en-
thusiasm and the noise was swelled by
the booming of artillery outside.
At last the Chairman got a chance
TO continue his announcement of the
vote. Thomas B. Reed. he said. had
received S4112 votes, Senator Quay 611a.
Levi P Morton So Senator Allison 33l12
and Don Cameron /.

himself to country and principle and
party That loyalty they now transfer
tc the soldier the patriot, the Ameri-
can whom you have named here to-day,
and, on behalf of my own State. and |
believe of all the other New England
States that supported Mr.. Reed, we
pledge a great majority in our State
and our assistance in other States, and
all the help we can render, for William
Mckinley. (Cheers) l move you, sir,
that the nomination of William Mckin-
lev be made unanimous" (Cheers)
Hastings of Pennsylvania, who had
nominated Senator Quay, seconded the
motion to make McKinley's name unan-
imous Pennsylvania, he said, with the
loyalty which always distinguished her,
would become the champion of the
champion of protection to American in
dustry, William Mckinley, and would
welcome the issue of American pro-
lection, American credit, American pol
icv. and give to William Mckinley the
largest majority she had ever given to
a Republican
