Philadelphia. June 20.-Presldent
Mckinley was no. renominated at
the session of the Republican nation
al convention today But tomorrow
will witness in all probability the
unparalleled spectacle of both the
presidential and vice presidential
candidates being nominated by accla.
nation. Senator Hanna threw up
the sponge today He found be
could not stem the tide of che pop
ular favorite without using the direct
influence of the administration at
Washington And this he could not
get. Possibly ever with it be might
have failed But without the task
was hopeless. The president would
have no hand in an effort to control
the convention He made known
directly to Mr. Hanna his wish that
the will of the convention should not
be thwarted, and when that unequiv
ocal word came Mr. Hanna reluctant
" abandoned the fight. With his
retirement from the contest against
the Empire State governor both nom.
nations could have been made before
the convention adjourned today. The
original programme was to nominate
Mckinley today and to nominate the
candidate for vice president tomor-
row But the national Republican
committee had made compact with
the local Philadelphia committee to
keep the convention here for three
days, and it was feared that if the
nomination for president was made
today the convention might take the
bit in it's teeth and wind up the pro
ceedings before dark. All the prep
aratlons for the presidents nomlna-
ton at this session had been perfect
ed Hundreds of beautiful red,
white and blue pampas plumes at
tached to long stsffs had been taken
into the delegates pit before the con
vention met and they were slowed
away against the inevitable moment
when the climax sho1id be reached.
As they were carried into the pit by
the ushers while the convention was
assembling they recalled the magni6,
cent scene at St Louis four years ago
when similar plumes set the conven-
ton mad with delight during the
famous Mckinley demonstration.
Knowing the temper OF the delegates
and the crowds Mr. Hama decided to
take no risks.
And consequently the immense
throngs which blackened the vaat
amphitheatre today were compelled
to content themselves with the rou
tine incidepts connected with the
permanent organization, an oration
by Senator Lodge, the permanent
chairman, and the scene which at.
tended the unanimous adoption of the
platform.
