TIE ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.
Richard Yates Nom i'm ated for Gov.
ern~r mid G reat Confusion.

Peoria, Ill, May 9.-The Republican
State Convention to-day nominated
Richard Yates for Governor, after an
exciting contest Mr.. Yates Is son of
Dick Yates, Illinois famous war gov
ernor. The nominee Is 80 years old, Is
United States internal revenue collec-
tor for the Springfield district.
The platform adopted re-affirms the
st. Louis platform, endorses the Nc
Kinley administration and it's bene-
ficent effects and it's insular policy, en-
dorses the new currency law and favors
such legislation as will destroy all un-
lawful combinations of capital formed
for the purpose of limiting production
or increasing the price of manufactured
products.
A proposed amendment to express
sympathy with the Beers was lost in a
storm of Kisses. Congressman Joe"
Cannon, John J. Brown. Hale Judson,
J. NJ. Smyth, were elected delegates-at-
large and H. D. Pierce and J. M. Her
bert electors at-large.
The State ticket elected includes w.
A. Northcutt, renominated by acclama-
tion as Lieutenant-Goyernor; J. A.
Rose, Secretary of State: Nj. Q. Will
Hanson, Treasurer; H. J. Hamlin, At
torney-General. On the first and second
ballots for Governor was taken Judge
Elbridge Hanecy, of Chicago, led. and
on the third an effort was made to
stampede the convention for Congress-
man Reeves.
The roll call ended in confusion. The
convention became a mob. But Yates
banner hoisted brought defeaning
cheers, and it was Yates convention
from then on. Hanecy's strength was
quickly transferred to Yates. The
fourth and last ballot resulted: Yates,
971; Reeves, 566. Mr.. Yates nomination
was made unanimoc..

A RIOTOUs STRIKE.

Cumberland, Md, May S.-About 1000
of the Georges Creek miners, who have
been on strike several weeks. and who
had determined to resume work to-day,
were met this morning by an equai
number of union men at Ocean Mine
No. l and a serious clash occurred.
One Of the men. John Davidson, who
persisted in entering the mines against
the protests of the union men, was as
saulted and badly beaten. Several
others were beaten and seriously in
jured. Only about fifty miners sue
ceeded in entering the mines. Iona
conding Is reported to be in possession
Of a bowling mob. Sheriff Martin and
deputies have gone to the scene. The
ugly feeling between the union and
non-union men Is growing, and II Is
feared that the militia will be called
out to quell the disturbances in the
several towns In the region-.
"Delays are dangerous.
Those who have poor, weak
impure blood should take Hoods
Sarsaparilla at once. It never
disappoints.

day was the report Of the Committee on
Organic Law of the Church. This COM

ference of 1896 and was made up OF two
bishops, six ministers and three laymen'
among whom were the leading constitu-

every question bearing on the subject
were submitted to the most careful scru-

the annual conference. It is clear that this
will be resisted by the ministry.
