Tho proceedings OF tho convention were re-
-.rhshlo for their surprises. Contrary TO every
.-n.ctatiop. the friends OF John r. Mclean met
,.s..t AT nearly every point, and their over
$50 has been the talk OF tho thousands Of Wis
49,. and delegates. For weeks 1t was declared

n-.si,t,ut attacks Of the delegates on the gold
,soord AZ his candidate. Hough. caused one Of
~ l.,ding sensations Of the day. After the
hrst ballot Houghwas withdrawn.
The second great surprise Of the day was the
vithdrsual OF John G. Welty. the Canton
millionaire, before his name was presented.
This va brought about by the action OF the
asldi IN uniting against Mclean and his candt'
