When the result of the vote adopting the
platform was made apparent Senator Teller
sent to the secretary 8 desk protest against
the gold plank. The protest was signed by
Senator Teller of Colorado, Senator Dubois
OF Idaho, Senator Cannon of Utah, Congress-
man Hartman of Montana and Cleveland of
Nevada, all members of the committee on
resolutions. Senator Pettgrew of South
Dakota that morning had added his name to
the protest, although not member of the
committee. The names of the sgners to
the protest as read by the secretary We're
greeted with hisses and voice in the rear
ca led out, Good bye, my lover, coed bye"
as Senator Teller and his associates went
ont of the hall. The whole convention rose
and yelled and waved flags, hats and fans
while the band played patriotic airs, the as
semblage singing the chorus of "Three
Cheers for tile Red, White and Blue"
The silver delegates who retired from the
hal Were Congressman Hartman of Monta
ma: Mr.. Cannon, Congressman Allen and
Delegate Thos. Kerens of Utah; Senator
PettigIew Of South Dakota; Delegates CIeve-
land and Strother of Nevada; from Idaho
the entire delegation of six, headed by Sena-
tor Dubois; from Colorado the entire dele
CATION of eight, including Senator Teller.
The nomination of candidates was next in
order, Senator Allison was nominated for
President by John n. Baldwin. Speaker
Reeds name was presented by Senator
Lodge, who was seconded by Hon. Charles
F. Littleteld Of Maine Hon Chauncey NJ
Depew named Gov. Morton of New York.
Gen Foraker put Hon. VIM. Mckinley's
name before the convention. GOV. Hastings
of Pennsy lyanla named Senator Quay
Reeds name was received With enthusiasm.
There was a tremendous outburst of ap-
plause when Mr.. Lodge said he wanted "a
President who would on the 18th of March
next, call an extra session of Congress to
enact tariff which would furnish sufficient
money into the Treasury to pay the expenses
OF the Government. McKinley's name,
whenever it was uttered, was the signal for
great waves of applause, and the first time
1t fell from the lips of Foraker, who placed
the champion of protection in nomination, it
was a spark which lighted in the convention
a vertahe prairie fire. When it came to a
vote Mckinley was nominated on the first
ballot. Only three States voted solidly for
Reed-Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island. They We're unbroken when their
names We're called. There was division in
Massachusetts and Connecticut. The de-
fection of votes in the Nutmeg State had
been expected and created no surprise, but
when Chairman Draper announced that one
of the Massachusetts delegates had separat-
ed from his associates and thrown his lot
with Mckinley the announcement was re-
celved with astonishment The deserter
was Smith of Leicester, who is openly charg-
ed with bad faith and has no defenders.

SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES.

William Mckinley was born at Niles,
Trumbul county, Ohio, January 80, 1S43
He was educated in the public schools and
later entered Allegheny college at Mead
vile, Pa, teaching school to pay his tuition
fees. He was about nineteen when the war
broke out and he early enlisted in the
Twenty-third Ohio infantry, the first colonel
of which was William S. Rosecrans. Later
he was made commissary sergeant and sub
se4uently lieutenant. In February, 1868 he
was promoted to first lieutenant, and year
later to captain. The brevet rank of major
was subsequently conferred upon him by
President Lincoln for meritorlCuS service at
Opequan. He was mustered out July 26,
1865 After the close of the war he began
the study Of the law and in 1867 was adj
mitted to practice, locating at Canton, Ohio,
where he has since resided. He acquired
considerable reputation as lawyer and adj
vocate. When 80 years of age he was elected
d representative to Congress as a Repubii-
Congress until 1890, when the tidal wave
mander swept him out of the House He
was candidate for Speaker in the Doth Con
gress but defeated by Mr.. Reed by
large majority. Mr. Reed appointed him
chairman of the ways and means committee,
and the tariff bill which that committee
framed came to be hnt .f ii as the Mckinley
bill and was ultimately very important
factor in securing his nomination to the
Presidency. After his retirement from Con
gresS lie was elected by the Republicans
governor of Ohio, which was the last public
office held by him.

The veterans of the Union armies deserve

tect an express train when tip that
train is to be held up is received.
This is what r. E. Culbreth. editor and
proprietor of the Argus. said yesterday:
MY life has beon threatened on two
occasions by Dave Neagle. AT the time of
the killing of Terry was roasting Neagle
rather severely in my paper. He met me
one day on the street and said that II
didn't stop it he would kill me.
HE also at about that time went into
the Office OF A. 3. Henderson, then manag-
ing editor of the Examiner, and threatened
his life if the paper did not cease its COM
ments upon his actions in the Terry
tragedy. Neagle seems to bear special
antipathy to newspaper men.
1.-The second time that he threatened me
was some six monrhs ago. In the Argus
| mad been denouncing the policy OF the
Southern Pacific Company. This angered
NeagIe, who approached me in an in
sulting way at the corner of Post and
Kearney streets and declared if contin-
ued my attacks upon the company he
would cut my throat from ear to ear

blackmaiI and extorrion. They threat
ened him with prolonged physical tor1ure
and in the end death if he would not sign'
but he refused to negotiate.
From Tuesday noon until WEDNESDAY
evening at o'clock Campbell was In ped,
bound and chained so firmly that he could
not move all day Wednesday. winthrop
and his accom- plice, younger man, threat
ened and again threatened to lnouce Ine
victim to sign a check and letter TO MS
wife which had been prepared for ms sig
nature. When the robbers found that the
old man was infexible in his determlna-
tion to die rather than submit to extortion,
they decided to darken the house, release
the victim and under cover OF night apan-
don the premises.
Accordingly at o'clock, or about that
hour, Wednesday evening Mr.. Campbell
was unbound and led out of the house by
rear passage way leading to an alley. The
accomplice of Winthrop escorted the
planter along Third avenue to point near
Geary street. When a car came in sight
the victim was given a nickel to pay his
car fare and advised to get aboard. This
advice he followed and reached the Occi-
dental Hotel about 9 clock. His wife was
so overcome with Joy at seeing him that
she tainted.
Mr. Ca mpbe1l was in the jury-room for
nearly half hour and was questioned
closely as to all the details and incidents
of his detention. When he was excused
as witness he returned to the inner pri-
