e~ LOUIS. June 1s.-After ten hours
session. In torrld heat and distressing
.s.. the eleventh National Republican
convention nominated a ticket preo--
l,ioed from the nrst by the Ohio political
.,,oaccr. who practically controlled the
e.thcring. and who named William Nc
V.nley. Of Ohio. and Garrett A. Hobart
NJ New Jersey, for President and vice.
president. respectively. of the United
e,stes. No effort was put forth to carry
out the much-talked-of purpose OF con-
fsrrinc the second place upon Levi T.
Morton. Mr. Hobart went through on the
4rst ballot. with many votes TO spare
Inst as soon as the word was passed
around. after Mckinley had been safely
landed that Mr.. McI<inley's friends de-
sired tho election of Mr.. Hobart, the chiei
slrporters Of the four unsuccessful candi-
5ate. foy. the presidency-Senator Lodge
f,r Reed: Hepburn for Allison; Governor
Hastings for Quay. and MIR. Depew. for
worton-came out in ringing little speech
o. moving TO make McKinley's nomina-
ron unanimous. and pledging him the
loysl support of their respective States.
When 10 these assurances Mr.. Platt added
his personal promise of friendly co-opera-
ton the cup Of happiness of the Mckin-
les men was fun.
Nr. Depew was at his best In moving 10
make McKinleys nomination unanimous.
re said he was now nominating winner.
II was quite evident he did not feel in the
same frame OF mind when he placed Mr..
Morton in nomination, for he, most un-
usually for him. spoiled one OF his best
points. When leading up to what it was
slpposed would evoke a burst of applause
for Blaine. he inadvertently substituted
the name of Garfield for that of Blaine,
and was ANONYMOUSLY corrected by the by
SANDERS.
AN AMUSING SLIP.
An amusing little slip was perpetrated
fv the permanent chairman, Senator
Thurston, who. by the way, made a most
excellent presiding officer. The incident
clearly showed the way his mind was
rgnning. When nominations for Vice
President were called for, and Judge Fort
took the stand the Chairman introduced
him as 'Mr. Hobart. Of New jersey dhe
man whom the McKinleyites had detcr-
mined to elect. When the laughter this
h,ander occasioned called his attention TO
H. he adroltly passed it off by saying
nAfr Hobart. Of New Jersey will now be
nominated by Judge Fort"
whatever enthusiasm was lacking in the
early days Of the convention was supplied
when the nominations were made. A more
boisterous scene of yelling. plume, and
banner-waving. and other manifestations
Of ecstatic idlocy has seldom been heard
or seen than that which for nearly half
an hour occupied the convention after the
nomination Of Mckinley.
The silver bolt was largely discounted
and It's effect was 10 a great extent nel-
tralzed by the speeches which Senator
Mantle Of Montana, and Brown. of Utah.
ana others made, declaring their con-
tnuei allegiance to the Republican party
rotaithstanding their disappointment as
regards the money plank.
