say that unless the delegates TO be selected
by the State convention were instructed for
Major Mckinley they would seize the first
opportunity to break from him and follow
the lead of New York or some other Eastern
State and secure the nomination of General
Harrison" for that would be opposing Gen.

ponents of instruction, who were inspired
from without the State, were, in my judg
ment. seeking to defeat instructions for
Mckinley they could break away from
him whenever New York or some other East

Harrison, and that the scheme had for its
object the defeat of Mckinley only. and was
not in the interest of General Harrison"

it, to keep them from following New York

The friends of Mr.. Millikan put forth
strenuous effort on this ballot to secure
votes, in the hope Of succeeding in crowd
ing out Mr.. Brownlee. When the result of
this ballot was announced it was seen that
there was no election. A motion was then
offered by the Twelfth district that the
rules be suspended and that on the next
ballot the counties express their preference
for but three of the candidates. and that
they ballot until the remaining delegates
at large be elected. This motion was
amended to read that Gen. Lew Wallace
be elected delegate at large by acclama-
ton. This amendment carried with hur-
rah, and General Wallace was declared the
second delegate at large.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
Mr. Forkner, of the Sixth, endeavored to
get the floor to demonstrate against the
original motion, but was not recognized
by the chair. The motion, amended to pro-
vide for double ballot for two OF the can
didates by each county. was then put by
Vice President pro TEN. j. j. NJ. LaFol-
lette and carried. The call of counties was
then made for the second ballot. resulting as

PARENTS PLEASED WITH THE
HAPPY MARRIAGE.
Quiet Ceremony at the Breakers, the
Noted Seaside Resort for New
York Swel1dom.

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 25.-The long
anticipated and widely heraIded wedding
of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, eldest
daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
Harry Payne Whitney, eldest son Of Hon.
William G. Whitney, ex-Secretary of the
Navy, took place at noon to-day at 1.-THE
Breakers" the famous summer house of
the New York millionaire.
Owing to the recent illness of Mr.. Van
derbilt the wedding was a family affair
and not social function.
Half a hundred comprised the party
which witnessed the tying of the nuptial
knot by Rev. Bishop H. c. Potter of New
York, assisted by Rev. G. T. Magill of
Trinity Church.
The bride came downstairs on the arm
OF Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, and was
escorted to the "gold" room, where the
knot was tied. Cornelius Vanderbilt had
been previously wheeled into the room
and up to the altar, where he took his
daughters hand and gave her away.
She was attired in Worth costume of
white satin. trimmed with lace, and wore
her mothers wedding veil caught up with
orange blossoms. The maids wore NOUS
selaine de sole over silk, with rose-tinted
belts.

the case. and, indeed, there is something
stupendous in the thought that to these
young people there is 10 be intrusted the
ownership and care OF $50, 900, 600.
This is rough estimate, but hardly an
exaggeration, for the wealth of Cornelius
Vanderbilt can not be less than 500 000,-
000 and as his daughter Gertrude is his
favorite, ii is not improbable that her
share will be less than $25. 900 900, and
young Whitney's inheritance will be little
less than that sum.
Desirable from all points as this pros
pective alliance seems, it should afford
particular satisfaction to the father of the
bride to be. Vanderbilt marriages OF late
years have not all been unqualified suc-
cesses. Besides the recent heart-wringing
disobedience OF his son, his namesake, he
has experienced much modification and
displeasure by reason of the marital ma
neuvering of others of his kith and kin.
The matrimonial record of William K.
Vanderbilt has not been a source of pride
to his staid and scrupulous brother, nor
have the law proceedings and weddings of
the once Mrs. Willie K. added to the COM
fort which he formerly found in contem-
plating the immaculate respectability of
the family name. But Gertrude has been
dutiful and wise. He will dover her well,
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-26

The marriage is not only matter OF
great moment to that part of the people
called society, but of unusual interest to
the general public, for this union will
bring into close relations two of the rich
est families on the American continent.
Its Importance to the world of wealth and
fashion is thus easily accounted for, but
the great public is attracted by another
and better consideration, the fact that
the ceremony will be the fitting finale OF
an ardent, old-fashioned courtship-that
is to say, people recognize this as love
match and they are pleased with it.
The story of Harry Whitney's fair, but
untiring and finally victorious, rivalry
with young Moses Taylor, year or so
ago, is known and the world continues to
love lover. Comparisons are also doubt
less made between the course OF true love
as discovered by young Whitney's pros
pective brother law, Cornelius Wander
bilt Jr., and the not 100 arduous path
which is now leading the ex-Secretary s
son to the altar. The sympathy which
went out to Cornelius Jr. and to Miss Will
son was not unmixed with depreciation OF
the unfiliaI attitude which his persistency
assumed.
But no shadows of parental autagonism
mar the brightness of the present event.
There is compIacency and approval IN the
minds of the elders of each household, and
all goes merrlly. The world at large ap-
plauds because in this alliance at least
there is no taint of the bargain and sale
infection which has found its way into
many of the recent matrimonial transac
tions of the rich.

Their love grew up as they did, before
they knew. The palatiai Vanderbilt man.
sion on Fifty-seventh street, New York, is
only across the way from the noble resid
ence of the Whitneys. The association of
the children of these families has always
been intimate. At Yale College Harry
Whitney was the faithful friend and chum
of Willie Vanderbilt, the brother of the
bride, whe died few years ago. The
close friendship of these schoolmates
made young Whitney a constant visitor at
the Vanderbilt house, where he and his
favorite girl friend, Gertrude, saw much
of each other.
The romance of the story comes in when
young Taylor commenced his devotional
exercises, with Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt
rs his shrine. Taylor had also been a
great chum of Willie Vanderbilt and came
to know his sister very well. The better
acquainted he became with her the more
he liked her. Soon after the rich young
heiress had made her debut in society it
came to the ears of young Whitney that
Miss Vanderbilt and Moses Taylor were
engaged to be married. He made no
moan, and there is nothing to warrant the
suspicion that the news caused him to
contemplate suicide. Young Whitney is,
like his father, man of purpose and OF
action.
Assuming at once that there was no
truth in the rumor, he mentally. vowed
that there never should be, ana so he
finished tying his tie and went to Newport.

course although begun merely in public dis
cussions will, if persisted in, threaten the per-
maneney of our institutions. That such an
effort will not be successful, firmly believe.
As the blood courses through the human
body and by its various functions sustain life,
so does an honest currency passing through
the channels of trade sustain the prosperity of
our citizens and establish the Nations integ-
rity. We are contending, therefore, with other
objects, for honesty in Government, the in
volatility of contract rights and the assurance
to every one in return for his labor or in
exchange for commodities OF a full and honest
dollar.
Weare all creditors and we are all debtors.
We cannot cheat others without cheating
ourselves. Our present money standards are
neither the result of chance nor conspiracy,
but are rather the outgrowth of experiment
and the result of centuries of progress. The
Government can neither make value or give ii
without consideration. To ask, therefore,
that 1t shall create dollar of intrins ically
half its normal value and force its acceptance
at its face value, is to ask the Government to
actually take property from our citizens and
commit legalized robbery. That money must
necessarily be the best money whose intrlnsi-
cal value is nearest to its declared value
wherever it may be presented for use.
We are told BY our political opponents, re-
Gently assembled at Chicago, that the Govern
ment shall coin the silver OF the world into
dollars actually worth 53 cents i'll merchan-
disc value and declare them worth 100 cents.
The Government must, therefore, present
from its own fund pof credit AZ cents of value,
or by statutory enactment rob its citizens of
that amount of property which they have al
ready accumulated.
For myself protest against the inconsist-
ency which denounces the existence of trusts
and at the same time seeks to compel the Gov
ernment to take the en- tire product of one field
of industry at a specific price, measured by an
absolute standard and to disburse it at fcti-
tious one. Such course is opposed to the
spirit of our institutions and contrary to the
functions OF government. The Nations integ-
rity rests not alone upon the surplus in its
vaults, but in the reserve power of labor in its
citizens and their capacity and opportunity
for employment. To continually draw upon
the one will as surely dssipate it as will free
