The Call's Headquarters,
.St. Louis, Mo., June 18.
At ten minutes to six o'clock tonight
the booming of cannon in front of the
convention hall announced to the people
of St. Louis that William McKinley
of Ohio had been nominated for President
of the United States by the Re-
REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERS.
Wm. McKinley of Ohio for President and Garret A. Hobart of New1 York for Vice President. Nominated by the National Convention
of the First
publlcan national convention. Following
this signal given by the cannon,
the locomotive, mill and steamboat
whistles on the Mississippi river joined
in a shrill screaming. Brass bands immediately
commenced their noisy parades
through the principal streets. It
was just growing dark, and enterprising
and patriotic merchants fired off
rockets and Roman candles as the
bands passed.
Although McKinley's nomination was
expected by everybody, theanticipation
of it did not detract in the least from
the great enthusiasm of the crowd in
the convention hall, in hotel lobbies and
in the streets.
When the result of the first ballot
was announced the convention went
wild. Delegates, officers of the convention,
reporters and all stood up and
cheered lustily. Hats, fans, handkerchiefs
and papers were thrown Into the
air. Umbrellas were raised and whirled
about
The immense portrait of McKinley
that had adorned the south wall of the
hall was carried to the center of the
auditorium, and a great crowd of cheering
delegates and spectators made a
mad rush to the center of the building.
The wonderful popularity of McKinley
had never before been made so apparent
After the speech of Foraker, ,who
placed McKinley in nomination, the
delegates and spectators cheered lustily
for more than ten minutes. The band
would occasionally strike up "Marching
Through Georgia," "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," "The. Red, White and
Blue" and "Yankee Doodle," trying to
quell the uproar, but no sooner had the
band finished one air than the immense
congregation of nearly 14,000
people would take up the refrain and
sung with a volume that shook the
rafters of the convention hall. The
racket would then almost subside, but
would again be precipitated by the Ohio
men in the gallery, who manipulated a
huge crayon portrait of McKinley. Finally
the great crowd, having tired
itself out, subsided and business was
proceeded with.
The first two days of the convention
were quiet enough. There was not so
much noisy demonstration. But today's
session was marked by scenes that will
live in the memories of all spectators.
The whole city Is talking tonight about
the wonderful popularity of the Republican
candidate for President Bands,
followed by crowds, are parading the
down town streets, rockets and Roman
candles illuminate the sky in every direction.
Seldom before has a presidential
candidate beea nominated under
such auspicious circumstances.
All good Republicans are in line.The
friends of Reed, Allison, Morton and
Quay are hearty In their enthusiasm
for Major McKinley as if they had not
espoused the candidacy of their own fa
vorites.
When the president directed the call
of States for nominations for the
VI
dency, the, first State to respond was
Iowav when R. M. Baldwin of Council '
Bluffs came to the platform and J
nated Senator W. B. Allison of Iowa.
The speech was an eloquent one and i
was loudly applauded at some points. J
i ne next state to- respona was Massachusetts,
and Senator Lodge nominated
Thomas B. Reed for the presidency.
Reed's nomination was loudly applauded,
many of the delegates rising
and waving flags amid much cheering.
Tlaa nomination was seconded by Chas.
E. Llttlefleld of Rockland, Me.
When the State ' ' New York was
called, Mr. Sutherland of Rochester rose
and said that the name of New York's
favorite son would be presented by another
"favorite son of that State and of
all the States, Chauncey M. Depew."
A round of cheers greeted Mr. Depew
as he made his way to the platform
and proceeded to put in nomination
Governor Levi P. Morton.
Mr. Depew's speech repeatedly elicited
bursts of laughter and applause, par-
ticularly one humorous interpolated
passage, in which he said:
"I wonder what our erring, bolting
brothers will say when they arrive at
THEY STAND
Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous
and dignified, and all our interests in the western hemisphere carefully
watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be
controlled by the United States, and no foreign power should be
permitted to interfere with them. The Nicaragua canal should
be built, owned and operated by the United States, and. by the
purchase of the Danish islands we should secure a proper and;
much-needed naval station in the West Indies. j
Foreign Relation Plank of Repubbcan Platform. j
the celestial city, which is governed by
Republican principles, and are met
there by St Peter with a golden key."
As he sat down he was loudly, cheered.
Foraker Names McKinley.
When the State of Ohio was called,
Joseph B. Foraker of that State, ex-Governor
and Senator-elect cam6 to
the platform and amid great applause
proceeded to put Mr. McKinley in nomination.
In the course of his speech
Foraker spoke as follows:
"Se far we have not made any mistake.
. We have adopted a platform
which, notwithstanding the scenes witnessed
in this hall this morning, meets
the demands and expectations of the
American people. It remains for us, as
the last crowning act of our work, to
meet again that expectation in the nomination
of our candidates.
"What is that expectation? What is
it that the people want. They want as
their candidate something more than a
good business man (alluding to Mr.
Depew's characterization of Governor
Morton). They want something more
than a good Republican. They want
something more than a popular leader.
They want something more than a wise
political statesman. They want a man
who embodies in himself not only these
essential qualifications, but those in addition
which in the highest possible de
gree typify, in name, ini character, In
record, In ambition, in purpose the exact
opposite of all that is signified and
represented by that free trade, deficit-making,
bond-Issuing, labor-assassinating
Democratic administration. I
stand here to present to this convention
such a man. His name Is William McKinley."
At this point pandemonium was let
loose and the convention gave up to unrestrained
yelling, cheering, horn-blowing,
whistling, cat-calling and all the!
other devices common to such
sions. A number of red, white and blue j
plumes which, carefully wrapped np.j
had been brought into the convention
hall earlier in the proceedings, were
uncovered and waved, while almost every
delegate seemed 'to be wildly gesticulating
with either a Jan or a flag
In the air. The band tried in vain to
compete with the ear-splitting clamor,
but at last the strains of "Marching
Through Georgia" caught the ears of
the crowd and it joined in the chorus
and gradually quieted down.
Then a portrait of McKinley was
hoisted on a line with the United States
flag on the galjery, facing the platform,
and the cheering began over again, to
which the band responded by playing
"Rally Round the Flag," the convention
joining in the chorus.
After at least twelve minutes of this
kind of proceeding the chair began to
rap for a restoration of order, but without
avail. Governor Foraker stood
through all this wild scene smiling his
approval.
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa had in the
meantime been called to the chair by
Senator Thurston, hut just when he
had nearly restored order Mrs. H. W. R.
Strong of California, who had presented
the plumes in honor of Ohio's choice,
made her appearance on the floor waving
one of them, and another

During the interval of confusion a

THE REPUBLICAN
bust of McKinley was presented to For
aker by the Republican. Club of the University
of Chicago. The portrait hvob in
a mahogany frame, decorated withered,
white and blue ribbons. It was accepted
by Governor Foraker in dumb show.
After twenty-five minutes of incessant
turmoil and interruption Mr. Foraker
was allowed to resume his speech.
He said that from what had occurred
it was evident that the convention had
heard of the candidate before. His
words, however, seemed vto have lost
much of their fire and fervor, because
they came in such close contact and
contrast with the unbounded exuberance
of the convention. For some time
he could not secure, a hearing He spoke
of the great champions of Republicanism
in the past, eulogizing Mr. Blaine
particularly.
Senator Thurston of Nebraska was
recognized by Temporary Chairman
Hepburn and seconded the nomination
of McKinley.
Hastings Speaks for Quay.
At the close of Mr. Thurston's effective
Speech cries of "Vote!" were
raised, interspersed with cries for
"Quay." In the midst of this Governor
Hastings took the stand and placed in
nomination the name of Matthew Stanley
Quay.
Governor Hastings was listened to
with attention, and there was quite a
formidable demonstration of applause
at the close of his speech. It was participated
in by only a small portion of
the convention, however and was maintained
with difficulty though with much
noise and amid counter demonstrations
almost as numerous. As it was dying
away the rythmic cry of "Quay, Quay,
M. S. Quay," accompanied by stamping
of feet, set in. The hisses increased in
volume, and delegates began to pelt
each other with rolled up newspapers.
Cries of "Vote! vote!" were started in
Silk. '
.
every section to beat down the similar
shouts of "Quay."
The chair rapped In vain for some
time, hut at last quiet was restored and
the call of States was resumed, and J.
Madison Vance of Louisiana, a colored
delegate, from that State, was recognized
to second McKinley. At the close
of his brief remarks the chair announced
that the call of States being completed,
the order called for balloting
for the nominee for President of the
United States. -

the fact without announcement,
broke into cheers.
Alaska wound up the roll by casting;

When the chairman announced that
McKinley had received 661 votes the
scene of an hour before was repeated.
At last the chairman got a chance -to
continue his announcement of the vote.
Thomas B. Reed, he said, had received
84 votes, Senator Quay 61, Levi P.
Morton 58, Senator Allison 35& and
Don Cameron 1. McKinley received

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous. Hastings, Quay, Piatt, Depew
and Henderson seconded Lodge's
motion.
The chair put the question: "Shall
the nomination be made unanimous?"
and by a rising vote it was so ordered.
The chair announced that William
McKinley was the candidate of the Republican
party for President of the
United States.

Nerr Jersey Man Named on First
Ballot.
When the applause which greeted the
announcement of McKinley's nomination
had subsided Lodge moved to proceed
to the election of Vice President,
and that the nominating speeches be
limited to five minutes. Notwithstanding
many expressions of dissent and
cries to adjourn, this motion was declared
carried, and at 6:30, the convention
having been in session eight and a
half hours, the roll of States was called

(colored) nominated James A Walker
of Virginia.
The- call had only proceeded as far
as South Dakota when it became evident
that Hobart had been nominated
on the first ballot, and the delegates
and the crowd in the galleries began to
leave the building. The chair informed
the convention that it would be necessary
to appoint two committees to wait
upon the nominees for President and
Vice President and notify them of their
nomination, and he requested each delegation
to choose two of its members
to act upon these committees.
Resolutions were then offered and
agreed to appointing the chairman, Mr.
xhurston, and the temporary chairman,
Mr. Fairbanks, chairmen respectively
of the two committees to notify the
nominees for President and Vice President
Resolutions of thanks were also offered
to the chairman, the temporary
chairman and the officers of the
suitable acknowledgments
were made by Messrs. Thurston and
Fairbanks.

the Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 18. The first
thing on the program this morning was
the report of the committee on resolutions,
which was read by Joseph B.
Foraker of Ohio. Then followed one of.
the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed
in a political convention. Chairman
Thurston announced that he would recognize
Henry M. Teller, a member of
the resolutions committee, who desired
to make a minority report The convention
was expecting this and delegates
and spectators were stllL
Then stepped forth Henry M. Teller
of Colorado, United States Senator
from that State, delegate to the convention
and member of the resolutions
committee, prominently mentioned as
a joint Presidential candidate of the
Free Coinage Republicans, Democrats
and Populists.
At the conclusion of his address the
Colorado Senator folded his arms over
his breast and took his seat on the
platform, and a perfect storm of applause
went up.
Then followed the vote to lay the minority
report from the resolutions
committee on the table, which motion
prevailed. Ayes. 818; noes, 105J4.
The victorious gold men made the
convention rinff with their cheers.
Here followed the most dramatic and
thrilling scene ever witnessed in a national
political gathering. Senator
Frank Cannon, of Utah, son of George
Q. Cannon, tha fnmnim Mnrmnn !
man, began his valedictory address. The
uiiio nana oi iree sliver voters had
slated Frank Cannon for this duty. He
read his speech, and tlfough. his delivery
was far from being a histronic success,
his declarations vin itatBnei
with, the most intense interest The free
suverues cheered him, but the gold
men, who regard many of his utterances
as unneeeasarilv nm) k
noxious, hissed the Bpeaker.
Teller and Cannon stepped down
from the platform and the conTBntion
rang with cheers, hoots, hisses and all
sorts of noisy demonstrations.
Those who walked out were: The entire
Colorado deleentlnn ih.u t
Utah, all of Idaho, PetUgrew of SoTatk
