Further Particulars of Today's Conven-

ton.
Indianapolis. May THE Indiana
Republican convention today instructed
its delegates to St. Louis to vote for
VIM. Mckinley for president, with
scarcely a show of opposition from the
people who had been expected to make
q, bitter fight on the Ohio major
The Instructions went through with a
rush which surprised even the most en-
thusiastic friends of Mr. Mckinney and
although there was a vigorous cry of
nay" when the adoption of the plat
form containing the resolutions was
moved, the chairman's decision was
that the resolution was unchallenged
and no division was called for.
There was no unusual display of en-
thusiasm, although McKinley's name
was repeatedly and enthusiastically
cheered. The widely circulated ru-
mors that President Harrison would
deliver an address before the conven-
ton which would make Mckinley in
structiOns impossible proved to be alb
solutely devoid of Foundation. The
platform. adopted without opposition,
indorses Mr.. Harrison's last admins
tration. reaffirms the Republican pro-
lection principles, declares for sound
money" favoring the use of both gold
and silver at a parity and international
bimetallism, but declaring against the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of IS to I, and concludes with
strong Mckinley Instructions.
