man with not having offered to re-
sign il he were elected. At this Till
man sprang up and declared he would
resign on the spot If McLaurin would
do so.
"That suits me-" replied McLaurin.
"Draw up the papers," said Till
man, land we will sign now"
McLaurin agreed. designations
were signed to take place November
Is next, Senator McLaurin being I'M
able to stand summer campaign.
This leaves the two offices open to all
candidates without reserve. The
designations were mailed Saturday

A HEARTY GODSPEED
President Mckinley Starts for the
East with His Invalid Wife.
San Francisco hid Farewell to the Distin-
guished Guests Saturday Afternoon
Nevada Desert Crossed without Ill
Eject on Mrs. Mckinley.

San Francisco. May 26.-President
Mckinley, accompanied by his wife
and members of his cabinet, started
for Washington at ten a. III. Saturday.
Mrs. Mckinley enjoyed refreshing
nights rest and seemed cheated mt
the prospect of soon being at home.
She was conveyed from the Scott res
idence to the Oakland ferry in n
closed carriage over circuitous
route, which was chosen SO that the
invalid might pass over only smooth
paved streets. An immense crowd
was assembled at the ferry depot of
the Southern Pacific.
Heads were uncovered rs the car
riage in which Mrs. Mckinley rode
approached and there was q visible
effort to restrain an outburst of APP
plause as the carriage with drawn cur
tains drove slowly through the
throng. All respected the frail con-
dition of the sufferer and the enthu-
siasm was suppressed. There were
no formal ceremonies at the depot.
Goodbys were exchanged by the pres
ident, cabinet members and others
of the party with the friends who had
come to wish them godspeed and the
distinguished travellers boarded the
ferryboat Oakland, which made spe-
cial trip for their accommodation.
The carriage containing Mrs. McKin-
ley was driven on to the lower deck
Of the boat and the curtains partly
raised so that she might obtain a
glimpse of the bay and Golden Gate.
As the steamer drew out of the slip
hats and handkerchiefs were waved
and as it swung clear into the stream
the shipping in the harbor dipped
their colors in salute. Tumultuous
cheers then broke forth on shore and
were borne across the waters as San
Francisco's final farewell to President
Mckinley. his wife and the accompa-
nying members of his official family.

and then descended into the Salt Lake
basin. During most of the day the

snow-clad peaks were continually in
sight from the car windows. At this
season of the year the ride across
Nevada is exceedingly disagreeable.
The heat is oppressive and the dust
from the desert is frequently blind

one of those heavy transforms which
so rarely visit this region swept COM
pletely over the state Saturday night,
laying the dust and tempering the at
1t rained also several
times during yesterday. The weather
seemed almost like n special interven-
ton of Providence for the benefit Of
the gentle sufferer.
