'M'KINLEY'S LETTER.
FORMALLY ACCEPTS THE PREsl-
DENTAL NOMINATION.
In His Very Long Letter He crit,cises
the Democratic Doctrine and Its
supporters-Goid Standard Protec-
tion and Reciprocity Supported.
Written by Mckinley.

VIM. McKinley's letter formally accept
Ing the Republican presidential nominal
ton has been issued. Republicans con-
slider ii a strong presentation of the prin-
cipal issues of the pending campaign. 1t
Is devoted principally to the discussion OF
what he considers the three great ques-
tons of the campaign-protection, mon
ey, and reciprocity.
About one third of the message Is de-
voted to consideration of the free silver
question. He announces that he Is unal-
terably opposed to any such policy. he
says that the Republican position In the
pending campaign Is no "new departure,
but that its proposition to maintain gold
and silver coin at parity has been the
unbroken policy of the Republican party
since 1873. He says 1t has inaugurated no
new policy. 1t will, he declares, keep In
circulation and as good as gold all of the
silver and paper money which are now
included in the currency of the country.
1t will maintain their parity. 1t will
preserve their equality In the future as
It has always done in the past. 1t will not
consent to put the United States on a
silver basis, which would inevitably fol-
low independent free coinage. 1t will
oppose the expulsion OF gold from our
circulation.
He says that the farmers and laborers
would suffer most by the adoption of free
silver. The silver question, in his judg-
ment, is not the only issue affecting our
money in the pending contest. He consid-
ers the declaration of the Democratic and
Peoples parties for unlimited, irredeem-
able paper money as the most serious
menace to our financial standing and
credit that could be conceived. He. con-
demns as sin the highest degree repre-
hensible" all efforts to array "class
against class, the classes against the
masses, section against section, labor
against capital, the poor against the rich,
or interest against interest"
He considers protection az an issue of
supreme Importance, and observes that
while "the peril of free silver Is a menace
to be feared, we are already experiencing
the effect of partial free trade" The one
he would avert, the other correct He
recommends the immediate restoration by
Congress of the reciprocity sections of the
tariff law of 1890, with such amendments.
| if any, as time and experience sanction as
wise and proper. The underlying princi-
pie of this legislation, he declares, should
be strictly observed. This, he explains,
is to "afford new markets for our surplus
agricultural and manufactured products
without loss to the American laborer of a
single days work that he might otherwise
procure"
He discusses foreign immigration brief
ly. He commends legislation that will pre-
vent the coming here of all who make
war upon our institutions" or profit by
public disquet and turmoil. He favors
liberal pensions for the soldiers and sail
ors, and expresses qualification that old
sectional issues are passing away.

IOWA GOLD DEMOCRATS
Select Their Electoral Ticket and
Cheer C1eveland's Name.

SneeT NleNelauu'0 VNames
With cheers for President Cleveland,
gold and true democracy" as they see it,
the Iowa gold Democratic State conven-
tion was called to order at the Des Moines
Grand Opera House Wednesday morning
by Henry Vollmer State chairman. More
than 700 delegates were present, ninety
three counties being represented. Each
ed his chair and cheered with will
Temporary Chairman Markley's speech,
in which he arraigned Gen. Weaver, Till
man, Gov. Altgeld and the silver Democ-
racy generally. He applauded the admin
istration of Grover Cleveland, and de-
clared that democracy, as an organization,
had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The electors at large. w. w. Wilmer
of Des Moines and ]. Il. e. Markley Of
Mason City, and all of the district elect
ors were nominated with the understand
ing that they would enter upon vigorous
canvass which should last until election
day. The platform was written by Henry
Vollmer of Davenport and w. w. Bald
win of Burlington. 1t recognizes the
value of party organization, but denies
the right of the majority Of convention
to adopt platform at variance with the
cardinal principles of the party. 1t de-
nounces various undemocratic planks in
the Chicago platform and adheres to the
time -honored principles of the Democratic
party. The convention gave no attention
TO State issues, and the fight this fall will
be along national lines.

the Chicago convention. and "stumped'' his
State last spring for the cause in oposi-
ton to ex-Speaker Crisp. Precisely what
determined him to renounce his affilia-
tions is not known, but his friends say
that he pledged his word to support the
Chicago ticket and platform, believing, as
they say, that the administration forces
would triumph at the convention.
1t is understood that Immediately upon
his withdrawal he will return to Atlanta
and resume the practice of his profession.

closed since his departure for Washing

''Hoke Smith has remained on the door,
and the Secretary's desk has been kept
awaiting his return. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Smith, OH entering the Cabinet,
left law practice which paid several
times the salary of n Cabinet officer, and
he will return to enter upon one which
will doubtless be still more profitable.

GREAT MEETING OF PYTHiANs.
Encampment at Cleveland Drawing
Crowds of KuiRhts.

Crowds of knights.
Great crowds of visitors were attracted
to the knights of Pythias' encampment
at Cleveland, il being estimated that co.
600 spectators witnessed the dress parade
of the Second Ohio Regiment Sunday af-
ternoon. The exercises at the camp dur
ing the afternoon consisted of the dress
parade and sacred band concert. In
the evening many of the visiting knights
attended services ut the Epworth Memo
rial NJ. Il. Church and listened to an ap-
propriate sermon by the pastor.
Among the attractions at the camp was
Lafayette, Ind, division of the uniform
rank, which has won more prizes than any
other division in the country, even though
1t has not competed in prize drills in eight
years. There was also present the crack
division from Hastings, Mich. Maj. Gen.
Carnahan, in speaking of the knights as
a military organization, said it was part
of the unwritten law of the order that the
knights should respond to the call of the
Government in time of need, especially
IL 1t was necessary to repel an invasion
by foreign foe. The knights were not
in any sense guardsmen, he said, and they
would not take part in internal dssen-
sions unless II was necessary to preserve
order and uphold the laws. Supreme
Chancellor Richie, in speaking of the
policy of the order, said there would prob
ably be no change. "The same lessons
that it teaches men to-day" he said, twill
be good for men 1000 years hence"

MET IN MILWAUKEE.
National Convention of Republican
IrSh

National Convention OF Republican
League Clubs.
The convention of the National League
of Republican Clubs met in Exposition
Hall, Milwaukee. The attendance of del
egates at the opening session was not 80
large as expected, but more came in dur
ing the day and evening. There was also
a slight feeling of disappointment at the
absence of certain speakers of national
reputation, whom the National Committee
had declined to send, on the ground that
they were needed elsewhere. Ex-senator
ingalls, of Kansas was asked to deliver
an address, but could not attend, nor was
Senator Allison able to be present. The
big hall in the Exposition Building was
handsomely decorated with the national
colors. The background was yellow,
while peering out from among the flags
were large designs of twenty-dollar gold
pieces. There were only a few spectators
in the galleries. The delegates were slow
in arriving, and it was an hour after the
appointed time when they began to take
their seats.
Gen. K. A. McAlpin, president of the
National League, called the convention
to order, and Rev. w. A. Huntsberger in
voked the divine blessing upon the as
semblage. President McAlpin presented
Mayor Ranscheuberger, who, in behalf
of the city, welcomed the visiting dele
gates. Mayor Ranscheuberger said 1t
was with pleasure that, as chief executive
of the city, he extended a cordial welcome
to Milwaukee He extended the freedom
of the city, and said that he had the latch
key with him. He paid high compliment
to the large delegations present, and said
that the organization showed that there
was great activity all along the line.
When he finished the delegates cheered
him and gave rousing cheer for the city
of Milwaukee. s. A. Harper, Of Madison,
Wis, president of the Wisconsin State
League, welcomed the delegates on behalf
of the Wisconsin Republicans. Irving NJ.
Bean, chairman of the Milwaukee Recep-
ton Committee, responded on behalf Of
the citizens committee.
The Secretary read dispatches from
Mckinley, Hobart, Depew and others re-

paratus and fee for their lives. Blazing
shingles and firebrands were carried hun
dreds of feet high by the Irresistible cur
rent of hot air, to fall quarter and half
mile farther on and fire the buildings that
they alighted upon. The people fed in all
directions. and families were divided. BY
5 o'clock the destruction of the village
was complete, and not a soul remained in
the town proper. Prior to abandoning his
post at the railway depot the operator had
sent out an appeal for aid. The relief
train managed to get within about a mile
of the doomed village. The train picked
up all the people found beside the track
and took them to Rockland. where they
were made as comfortable for the night
as the limited accommodations of the ham,
let would permit.
AS soon as daylight came the train
crew of the st. Paul Railway, aided by
citizens, loaded into a box car all the
clothing and provisions that could be col
lected and set out for Ontonagon.
The work of relief was Begun imme-
diately. Word was received by the rail-
way officials at Houghton that cars of
supplies including tents and lumber for
temporary sheds were already on the way
from Marinette, Green Bay, Iron Noun
tain and places farther south.
There is little hope that the town will
ever recover from the blow. The timber
in that vicinity has been gone for years
and the Diamond Match Companycan save
thousands of dollars by building its mills
closer to its untouched forests. The cop
per mines having been worked out or
abandoned years ago, the match COM
pany's plant was the mainstay.
The village will. of course, be rebuilt
but there is little likelihood of its being
so large or so prosperous. 1t is well
known that many families who had ac-
cumulated wealth in former years re-
mained only because of old associations.
and now that these are removed they will
doubtless move away.
The total loss will reach $2,500,OO0 of
which the Diamond Match Company sus-
tains 81, ,OO0,OOO with insurance of about

Villas AND BRAGG RULE.
Wisconsin Gold Convention Chooses
Presidential Electors.

The Wisconsin gold Democracy was
marshaled in the Pabst Theater at Mil
waukee Wednesday under the joint lead
ership of Gen. Bragg and Senator William
+. Villas and the State organization of the
National Democratic Party" came into
being.
Senator Villas was chosen permanent
chairman and delivered n carefully pre-
pared address. Gen. Bragg also made
an address, speaking without notes. He
was vitriolic and peppery, and he was en-
Enthusiastically cheered. A solid gold plat
form was adopted. A full electoral ticket
was chosen, an organization arranged for
and all the business transacted necessary
TO insure a gold campaign in the State.
Not more than 200 delegates were present
from outside the city.
The convention was called to order
shortly before noon, with 900 delegates in
the theater. John ii. Brennan. of Ste
vens Point, was the temporary chairman.
No State ticket was nominated by the
convention. The question of following
the lead of Illinois and going into the fight
from national ticket down was the only
thing that came near causing a brush in
the proceedings, as there were several
present who wanted things arranged that
way. A resolution was finally adopted
leaving the matter of State ticket to the
discretion of the State Central Commit
tee. which was given power either to name
candidates and have them duly placed
on the official ballot or to call State nom
mating convention. The platform is rath-
er long, but it deals with just one subject,
and that Is the financial issue. There is
no mention of any other issue being pres
ent in the campaign.

SPRING WHEAT CROP REPORT.
Yield in Three States Is 0O,OOO,OO
Bushels Less than That of 1905.

The annual spring wheat crop report,
prepared by the Minneapolis Journal, COW
ers the States of Minnesota, North Da-
kota and South Dakota, and these three
States are estimated to have raised this
year 1OS.OO0, 900 bushels, against 10S .OO0,-
600 bushels last year and 10000, 900 in
1894. The acreage used is 9,5O0,OOO,
about 1 100000 more than is allowed by
the Agricultural Bureau in Washington.
The crop Is not of the best quality, and
it Is yet a question whether considera-
BILE acreage in North Dakota and Northern
Minnesota natures because of possible
frost injury. No allowance has been made
for frost, however, in this computation.
The late wheat is filling nicely and prom
ises good yield if it is not injured. The
State yields are as follows: Minnesota,
A 100000; North Dakota, $4,000, 900;
South Dakota, 27 100000 The estimated
averages are: Minnesota, 1913; North Ds-
kota, 10.S; South Dakota, 9.4. The crop
is very spotted, ranging in yield from two
to thirty bushels. Corn, oats, barley and
fax are generally favorably reported
upon.
