was in charge of a sacred duty to the ven
cradle chief Of the republican forces in
Ohio. Notwithstanding his appeals his
name was kept before the convention. and
on the third ballot he received eight votes:
on the fourth, eleven, and on the fifth
fourteen. At that time the convention was
apparently deadlocked between Harrison
and Sherman, with the deciding votes scat
tered between Alger, Allison, Gresham and
Blaine. and a recess was taken until Mon
day. On the sixth ballot Mr. Mckinley re-
ceived twelve votes. and on the seventh
sixteen: Harrison was nominated on the
eighth ballot, in the course Of which Maine
passed three votes for Mckinley and Kan
sas one.
The attitude assumed by Mr.. Mckinley
during the great fight Of 1885 endeared him
to the republicans of Ohio. and caused IL
TO be freely said that he was the republi-
can man of destiny. There was a strong
movement in his favor prior to the conven-
ton Of 1882, and the delegates from Ohio
were instructed to vote for him. President
Harrison was renominated on the first bal
lot. on which Mr.. Mckinley received lso
votes out of D3 one-sixth of a vote less
than that cast for James G. Blaine.
Financial Rcverses.
A few years ago Mr.. Mckinley, while
serving as governor of the state. lost his
entire private fortune. amounting to more
than one hundred thousand dollars. He
had indorsed the notes of large manufac-
turing concern that failed in the panic Of
'93, and the governor insisted upon dis
charging every obligation. He sacrificed
everything he had TO meet the payment
of this debt, which represented no value to
him, and thus completely exhausted his
entire means. Immediately upon the an
nouncenlerf of his reverses his personal
and political friends started a subscrip-
ton, which soon grew to large proportions,
and went far to reimburse the losses that
Mr.. Mckinley had suffered.

should not be the representative of any

and a public record fawless, untarnished
by suspicion, unsullied by calumny, a life
upon which the calcium light Of the cam

opinions and the courage to declare them,
and, when he has once declared them to
stand like Luther, if need be- forever.
He must have commanding ability, integ-
ingly loyal to all the principles of the
party. He must have a thorough knowl-
edge of the science of practical govern
ment, an ntelligent apprehension of the
true destiny of the republic, a sincere pur-
pose, a manly independence a freedom
from obligations, entanglements and al

Wall Street Review.

New York, June 29.-DIring the great
er part of the day the stock market to
put it mildly bordered on decentralization
The interviews with the leading east
ern Democratic leaders were mainly re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs,
these politicians having practically ad-
mitted in interviews printed yesterday
that the free silver men will not only
dictate the platform of the party but
will name the candidate. These state
ments alarmed timid holders Of securl-
ties and encouraged the bears TO make
demonstrations against the list. Pro-
fessional operators as usual were the
first to discern the uneasiness and ham
mered the list Long stock came out
freely and the fact was developed that
the market was honeycombed with stop
loss orders. The statements of the st.
Paul and Burlington and Quincy roads
proved to be very unfavorable the st.
Paul showing a net decrease of Sl6l,13
and the burlington and Quincy a deficit
OF S25O,Si6 Furthermore over one million
dollars was drawn from the sub-treas
ury for shipment to Europe. The poor
showing of the granger roads and the
unexpected engagements of gold placed
directly In the hands of the bear leaders
and this with the prominence given the
silver question made 1t comparatively
easy work to dscress values. The de-
cline in prices ranged from u to Az per
cent, the Industrials and Changers
scoring the heaviest losses. The de-
cline brought in London orders and us
ually well informed firms with Euro
pean connections placed the buying for
foreign account at forty thousand
shares. These purchases stemmed the
downward movement for a time and
Major McKinley's speech TO the notih-
cation committee in which he heartily
endorsed the platform of the st. Louis
convention also acted as tonic but in
the late afternoon trading the market
developed renewed weakness and closed
nervous. Ne: changes show losses Of
4 a 4 percent, Chicago Gas leading.
Total sales Were 3S4,29O shares.
