After the Ball.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 19.-The seeth-
ing, struggling and packing crowds that
have surged like human waves through
the wide corridors of the Southern
Hotel for week past, have literally
melted away, and this morning that
great caravansary which has been the
political storm center of st. Louis is
comparatively deserted. The capacity
of the outgoing railway trains is taxed
to its utmost and tonight will see the
last of the convention visitors, with
few exceptions, en- route to their re-
spective homes. Mr.. Mark Hanna, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who has gained such
prominence as the leader of the Nc
Kjnley forces, still remains. He re-
ceived several hundred kilograms of
congratulation last night. The send
ers were in many cases leading demo-
Gratis. These express their gratifca-
ton at the financial policy adopted by
the convention and assure him of their
cooperation in the approaching con-
test.
There is talk of Senator Sherman
accepting again the Treasury portfolio.
Mr.. II. Clay Evans, of Tennessee,
will, it is thought, be rendered the
Postolice portfolio in the event of his
failure to be elected next autumn as
Governor of Tennessee.

The Boiling Silycritcs.


CARSON, New, June 19.-The gen
eral opinion among republicans in this
city is that nothing is to be gained by
the boiling of the silver men of the con
yention as silver is not the leading
question of Nevada. 1t is asserted that
the State now produces twice as much
gold as silver and three times as much
wool as silver, consequently a protec.
tive tariff will be of more benefit.
TOPEKA, .Kas., June 19.-The bolt OF
the free silver men from the st. Louis
convention yesterday has caused much
speculation among prominent repnDii-
cans here and it is predicted that
%, 1000 Kansas republicans will follow
Teller and refuse to support Mckinley.
PIERRE, S. d., June l9.-Many re-
publicans throughout the State criticlse
Senator Pettigrew's action and will de-
mand his resignation as United States
Senator. as he has renounced the party
which elected him.
ST. LOUIS. June 19.-At the secret confer
,ence of tho boiling silver delegates yesterday
and last night, after III CD careful cOnsdcra,
ton, an address to the people of the United
States was agreed upon. While tho address
contains much in the nature Of a silver com
age argument, the concluding paragraphs
show the determination of the boiling dele
gates to bring about the nomination, II posi-
bic, of Senator Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado
as the candidate for the presidency on plat
form having for its cardinal principle the Tree
and unlimited coinage of silver. The address
gives the history of the polite Lparties dnTIns
the past twenty years; the changes from
republican to democratic administration when
have taken place during that time, and inc
dissatisfaction expressed by the masses ~
both. The only remedy" the address says,
sis to stop falling prices, the deadiest curse OF
national life. Prices never will cease falling
under the single gold standard. The reStoF,I,
ton of bimetallism by this country VIII
double tho basis Of our money system. ID
time it will double the stock of primary
money of the world will stop falling price,
and steadily elevate them uotil they VII,
regain their normal relation to the volume o.
debts and credits in the world" The address
concludes as follows; eve invoke the union
of all men and all parties who believe tha'
the time has come for the triumph Of Ju tice.
1t is an hour when the people may SPEAK fof
themselves as individuals, and through con
yentions yet to be ncld." The address IS
sigued by Senator Dubois and 81 other dc.e'
gates

A Strange Story.

PORTLAND, Ore, June ia secret
marriage ceremony was performed here
on Wednesday last, the contracting
parties being Mrs. Adelaide ]. Shelton,
of Washington, D. c., and George Bum,
formerly of the same city. Years ago
before her marriage Mrs. Shelton was a
belle in Washington society and Bum
was her favored admirer. Bum went
to the Orient and was not heard from
for years. Meanwhile his lady love
married Shelton, who was attached to
one of the foreign legations. Last
winter Bum returned to Washington,
and, finding their mutual regard un-
changed, they planned an elopement
which occurred some three weeks ago.
Shelton died heartbroken few days
ago. Immediately upon learning of bis
death the couple came to Portland and
were secretly married.

WASHINGTON. June 10.
The following changes were made in
the fourth class postoffices in Virginia
to-day: Good View. Bedford county,
]. o. Thomasson was appointed post
master, vice Il. B. Thomasson, resigned;
Variety Mills, Nelson county, W. S.
Robertson, vice NJ. n. Mays, dead.
An old and well-"seasoned" demo-
crat, widely known throughout the
country, here to-day, a philosopher
and thoroughly familiar with human
nature, said he feels perfectly assured
now that if the Chicago platform be for
free silver and have a pronounced silver
man upon it, the democrats will carry
the country by an immense majority.
Why, said he, talking to the GAzETTE's
correspondent, the people of your State,
aud they once had the reputation of
being honest, voted by large majority
to repudiate more than one half of their
debt, and if the question of paying the
national debt with paper money were
submitted to the people of the whole
country, it would be answered in the
affirmative by an overwhelming ma
iority; the wilder and more radical the
proposition now, the more certain its
adoption, and if the democrats don't
avail themselves of their present OPP
portunity, but permit themselves to be
bought, they deserve to be defeated.
The nomination of MIR. Mckinley had
been discounted here; so it has fallen
flat. Il is the prevailing opinion that he
is about as weak candidate as could
have been nominated. Mr.. Hobart, his
running mate, will, it is supposed, add
to his weakness, as he is the president
of three trusts, director in six others,
and is interested in still more, and
therefore Objectionable to the people
whose votes decide elections.
Congressman Meredith, of the Alex
andria district is here to-day. He says
he was at the recent democratic meet
lug in Stafford county at which the del
egates to the democratic congressional
convention of that district from that
county were elected, and he is certain
three-fourths of the democrats of that
county are for him. He also says an
attempt is being made to buy the con-
gressional nomination in that district,
but he doesn't believe it can succeed.
All the counties of the district, he says,
have elected their delegates to the con-
eressional convention, except Fauquier.
Among the visitors here to-day is
Mr.. Donohoe, editor of the Fairfax
Herald, who is a delegate to the Chi
cago convention. He and some of the
other delegates from his district are
making arrangements for going there,
which they think about doing on
the End. Mr.. Donohoe thinks Boies
has now the best chance of being nom.
mated.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
Major Mckinley at Home.

CANTON, O., June 19.-Canton was
awake bri ght and early this morning
Notwithstanding the fact that a large
proportion of the population did not
cease celebrating the nomination OF
Mckinley until nearly dawn. The
town already takes on temporary COM
mercial aspect peculiar to the scene of
large gatherings. Fakirs with CAM
paign badges and. fans for sale throng
the streets, hawking their wares, and
the variety of these is simply amazing.
Opposite the Mckinley residence
big tent has been erected, under which
the hungry and thirsty wayfairer may
find refreshment at the hands Of a COM
mittee of church ladies. The McKin-
ley grounds presented desolate APP
pearance this morning. The beautiful
lawn was bare and brown as a prairie
swept by fire or trampled beneath the
feet of horde of buffalo. Major and
Mrs. Mckinley rose this morning re-
freshed by good nights rest and feel
ing none the worse for yesterdays
fatiguing experience. During the night
a mass of kilograms had accumulated.
Immediately after breakfast the Major
addressed himself to the perusal of
these and received member of the
committee in charge of the preparations
for the local demonstration on the 9th
instant. Among the dispatches re-
ceived was one from the Vice Presi-
tial nominee, saying ACCEPT my
hearty congratulations and those OF the
New Jersey delegation" To which
the Major responded: 81 send you my
cordial congratulations and wish you
might visit me on your way home"

THOUGH the white members Of his
own political party criticize, censure
and condemn the President to the full
extent of their physical as we'll as their
mental capacity, he possibly derives
some consolation from the fact that the
Zion Conference of the negro Methodist
Church of Baltimore and Philadelphia
has unanimously passed resolution
endorsing him for his disposition
to deal without regard to color"
But what is concealed from strong and
wise men is revealed to babes and

The McKinleys came originally from
the western part of Scotland. During
the religious persecution they. with
hundred of other covenanters, fled to
Ireland. From Ireland two of them
brothers, James and William-came to
this country about quarter of CEN
tury before the the BATTLE of Bunker
Hill. James was only a boy at the
time. He settled in York, Pa. There
he married. His son, David, fought
under Washington in the Revolution.
David Mckinley was the great-grand-
father of the Ohio statesman. After
the colonies had secured their inde-
pendence David returned to Pennsyl-
vania and lived there until after the
war of 1912, when he moved to Colum.
bana county, Ohio. He founded the
Buckeye branch of the family. The
Major was born January 30, 1913, in
the southwesternmost township in the

The Republican National Committee.

The Republican National Committee.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 19.-The men,
bers of the national committee will
meet to-day, when the subject of or
ganization will be concluded. Mark
Hanna is almost certain to be the head
of the committee which will conduct
the campaign. Major Mckinley tele-
graphed to friends here late last night
that he desired Hanna to take the
place. 1t Is doubtful if any of the old
members of the committee will be re-
tanned except Mr.. Marley, Of Maine,
secretary of the committee.
ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The new re-
publican national committee met this
morning at the Southern Hotel for the
purpose of organization, &c. The
members of the committee having been
sounded on the subject, it was deter
mined to elect the chairman at this
meeting, instead of leaving it open until
the meeting that will probably be held
in New York two or three weeks hence.
Mr.. Mark Hanna was nominated for
chairman and was elected by the unani.
nous vote of the committee. Mr..
Hanna accepted the nomination in a
short speech that was received with ap-
plause. He said "If Mai. Mckinley is
elected President he will be elected
owing no man promise that will en-
barrass his administration"
Mr.. Marley was made temporary
secretary and James F. Burke, of Pitts
burg, temporary assistant secretary.
Colonel Swords, of Iowa, the sergeant
alarms of the old committee, was kept
in that position temporarily. 1t was
agreed that chairman Hanna should
have full authority to select all the
officers of the committee, including the
treasurer.
Mr.. Hanna, in accepting the place of
Chairman ofthe National Committee,
announced that the headquarters will be
in New York city, and added that he
would very much prefer handing out
$4,000 than to assume command of the
campaign. He said, however, that
there was evidently nothing for him but
to take the place, and so within very
short time his labors will begin again.
