M'KINLEY WON HANDS DOWN. THE VOTE IN INDIANA WAS THREE TO ONE IN THE BUCKEYE'S FAVOR. HARD FIGHT FOR GOVERNORSHIP. Seven Ballots Were Necessary Be fore a Choice Was Made by the Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 7.—The Indiana Republican convention today Instructed its delegates for Maj. McKinley, with scarcely a shew of opposition, and the long-Impending battle between the McKinley and the alleged Harrison forces ended In commonplace peace. The platform embodying the instructions was adopted by a viva voce vote, and without di vision. Gen. Harrison did not make his eager ly-expected speech to the delegates, and did not visit the convention at all. The platform declares for "sound money," favors the use of both gold and sliver at a parity, urges bi metallism on an International basis and con demns the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The ticket chosen was as follows: Delegates at Large—R. W. Johnson, of Vigo county; C. W. Fairbanks, of Marlon; F. M. Mllllken, of Henry; Gen. Lew Wallace, of Montgomery. Governor—James A. Mount. Alternates—R. T. McDonald, of Allen; Hiram Brownlee, of Grant; E. 0. Hopkins, of Van derburgh; George L. Knox (colored), of Mar lon. Electors at Large—H. G. Thayer, of Marshall; C. E. Jones, of Henry. The sudden collapse of the antl-McKlnley forces was a surprise alike to tho friends and the foes of the Ohioan. There was little doubt when the convention met that Instructions would carry, but a warm light was expected, and a fight, too, in which Gen. Harrison's name would figure prominently. The half-ac cepted invitation to the ex-presldent to address the convention this morning had led to the vague hope on the part of the anti-Instruction people that an eleventh-hour sensation would be sprung, which would save the day to them. No one believed that the general would Indi cate to the slightest extent that his name might be considered, but it was persistently rumored that he might deliver an address, which, while non-committal, would cause a stampede and defeat resolutions. That was the great struggle of the opposition— to permit McKinley Indorsement, if necessary, but to prevent instructions at all hazards. But Gen. Harrison failed to appear. The cries for him and cheers for him were frequent and hearty, but as the permanent organization was ef fected and committee reporting proceeded, his continued absence began to tell on the anti-instruction delegates. When the report of the committee on resolutions, the signal for the expected battle, was called, there were frantic yells of "Harrison, Harrison," but the ex-president was at home, a mile away, and the fight was plainly lost. The various planks in the platform were heartily cheered, and when the instructions were reached, the outburst of applause was tremendous. When it had subsided, the mo tion to adopt was mado and put.and although there were frantic yells of "no!" for the negative, the vote was very evidently about three to one In the Ohloan's favor. There was an Interval of applause sufficient to sat isfy the most exacting of McKinley enthusi asts, and then the delegates abruptly set tled down to the work of making a ticket ap parently, forgetting the Indiana presidential situation, which has been a matter of na tional Interest for months. The sudden wind up of what had been expected to be a sensa tional and bitter fight was a marked feature of the day's proceedings. That its significance and what the significance of Gen. Harrison's failure to address the delegates may be, was a matter thoroughly discussed about political headquarters tonight, but opinions widely differ. Some express the opinion that the ex presldent felt that the Instructions were a direct slap at him, while others declare he had merely emphasized his previously ex pressed desire to be considered entirely out of the presidential situation. Gen. Harrison refused to discuss the day's proceedings in any way. The convention was called to order at 10:45. The- report of the committee on rules and permanent organization was read. Ex-Secre tary of the Navy Richard W. Thompson was reported for permanent chairman, with a rousing cheer, and Gen. Stormont was named for secretary. The report was unanimously adopted. When the white-haired "Uncle Dick" Thompson assumed the gavel he was greeted with a rousing reception. Despite his eighty-eight years, the ex-secretary deliv ered a stirring speech, which disposed of the Democratic party to the entire satisfaction of the crowd, and vigorously predicted Re publican victories in the coming election. References to McKinley were loudly cheered and there was applause for Harrison. The plaform was then presented. After a tribute to Republicanism in general and to Gen. Har rison in particular, and a strong statement of tariff principles, the plaform reads: "AYe therefore demand a return to the sound Republican policy of protection and reciprocity. We are firm and emphatic In our demand for honest money. We believe that our money should not be Inferior to the money of the most enlightened nations of the earth. We are unalterably opposed to every scheme that threatens to debase or depreciate our currency. We favor the use of silver as currency, but to the extent only and under such regulations that Its parity with gold can be maintained, and, In consequence, are opposed to the free, unlimited and independ ent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. We demand an enforcement of existing immi gration laws by the national administration. and the enactment of such further legislation as will best protect our people against the in flux of criminal and vicious classes of foreign countries. "Believing, as we do, in a protective tariff, the leading issue before the people, we favor the nomination as president of the United States of the man who best represents the system of protective tariff and the cardinal principles of the Republican party; a man who has devoted his life to the defense of his country in war and in peace; a man who, with the restless shibboleth, 'Protection and prosperity,' has challenged the attention of the commercial world, and won the sup port of every patriotic workingman of our country; whose life and work, open as a book, are in themselves a platform,and whose very name ls magic—that loyal Christian gen tleman, William McKinley, of Ohio —and the delegates to the Republican national conven tion selected by this body are directed to cast their vote for William McKinley, as fre quently and continuously as there is any hope of his nomination." The various clauses of the declaration of the party principles were well received; the protection and money planks receiving par ticular attention from the. crowd. The In terest became Intense as the chalnman reach ed the McKinley resolutions, which conclud ed the platform. At the naming of the Ohio candidate, the great crowd broke into a wild cheer, which, when it subsided, was met with vigorous counter-cries of "Harrison." For several moments the opposing forces howled ST. PALI, MINN.: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1896. for their favorites. When the climax was reached and the phrase "directed to vote for William McKinley" was read the howls broke loose again, and for a moment, the air was full of vibrant Indiana lungs. After the gavel had in a measure restored order, the motion to adopt was put amid a wild turmoil of conflicting cries. Owing to the great confusion during the adoption of the resolutions it was impossible to arrive at any accurate estimate of tho vote of the opposing forces. The ayes were reinforced by yells from the galleries and corridors, as were also tho nays, but the Indications were that the vote was about 3 to 1 for the resolutions. The easy victory of the McKinley men was a great surprise for the opposition forces, who could scarcely explain the sudden vote. It was generally believed that the rumors of a Harrison stampede had decided the ex-presi dent not to appear before the resolutions were acted upon, and the complete failure of the faint hope that his speech might change the McKinley sentim.nt left the anti-instruction people without ground upon which to build a. show of strength. The sympathy of the spec tators seemed to be very largely with the Ohio candidate, and that also had something to do with the discouragement of the advo cates of the uninstructed delegation. At 1 o'clock Private Secretary Tibbott sent word that Gen. Harrison had decided not to address the convention. The announcement caused a deal of comment and much disap pointment among the delegates and spectators. No explanation of the ex-presldent's refusal to appear was made, further than the statement that he had never fully decided to accept the Invitation. He denied himself to interview ers. When the selection of four delegates at large was taken up, the first name presented was that of Col. Richard W. Thompson, of Terre Haute. He was chosen by acclamation. A wrangle ensued over the selection of the re maining three delegates by acclamation. This Indicated a breaking of the slate and caused something of a sensation. The convention be came uproarious, and it was some time before the chair could restore order. The districts were called in regular order, and the names of Frank M. Milliken, Charles W. Fairbanks, R. R. Shiel, Gen. Lew Wallace and Hiram Brown lee were presented. The first ballot resulted in no election. Before the second ballot was proceeded with, Chairman Thompson retired in favor of Senator J. Q. La Follette, of Jay county. The rules were suspended, and Wal lace was elected by acclamation. The second ballot resulted in the election of Milliken and Fairbanks. The following alternates were chosen: B. T. McDonald, Allen county; Hi ram Brownlee, Grant; George L. Knox, Mar lon, and E. 0. Hopkins, Vanderburg. Knox is a colored man. The most bitter fight of the convention, that for the gubernatorial nomination, was begun with twelve names presented. They were as follows: C. F. Griffin, Lake county; John L. Griffiths, Marion; Will Cumback, Decatur; J. S. Dodge, Elkhart; C. T. Doxey, Madison; C. E. Everett, Allen; J. L. Johnson, Parks; J. A. Mount, Montgomery; F. B. Posey, Van derburg; W. S. Sayers, Wabash; Theo Shock ney, Randolph, and James B. Todd, Wells. Seven ballots were necessary before a nomination for governor was made. On tha sixth ballot Mount received 357 votes, Doxey 295 and Griffith 268. It was evident after the announcement of the result that the dele gates, wearied by the ten-hour session, were ready for a break to a winning candidate. As the call began It was plain that Mount wa3 profiting by the break. Marion county with drew the name of Griffith, and when Mount was given the majority of the Indianapolis delegation's vote, the matter was settled. The final ballot resulted: Mount, 763; Grif fith, 302; Doxey, 251, the remining votes be ing scattered in small lots among the other candidates. Upon motion of Mr. Griffith, the nomination was made unanimous, amid the greatest enthusiasm yet shown by the con vention. Mr. Mount made a graceful speech of acceptance, and speeches were also made by the defeated candidates. - A motion to adjourn was hotly contested, a roll-call being demanded. Adjournment was defeated, and nominations for lieuten ant governor were ordered. W. L. Haggard, of Tippecanoe county, and John W. Baker, of Whlttley, were placed in nomination. Eaker received 668 votes and Haggard 777, necessary to a choice 708. For secretary of state, W. D. Owen, of Cass county, and for auditor of state. A. C. Dailey, of Boone county, were nominated by acclamation. It became evident that the convention was in for an all-night session, with F. J. Roots, of Ccnnersville, presiding, the delegates settled down to a long and hard pull. For treasurer, Fred J. Scholtz was nominated over Leopold Levy. Scholtz is the present incumbent. Ketcham was renominated for attorney general by acclamation. For reporter, supreme court, Charles F. Remy was nomi nated on the second ballot. For superintend ent of public Instruction, D. M. Geetlng, of Jefferson. For state statistician, S. J. Thompson, of Shelby county, was nominated by acclamation. SOUND MONEY INDORSED. Strong Declaration by tbe Demo crats of New Jersey. TRENTON, N. J., May 7.—United States Senator Smith, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, called the New Jer sey Democratic convention to order today, ond in a brief speech predicted success for the party in the presidential election. He then introduced James B. Bergen, as tempor ary chairman. After the appointment of committees a recess was taken. After re assembling a permanent organization was effected, with Hon. John T. Queen as chair man. On taking up the gavel, Mr. Queen made Individual reference to the different men named In connection with the Demo cratic presidential nomination. Gov. W. E. Russell, of Massachusetts, received the greatest applause. The committee on resolu tions made its report, which was unanimous ly adopted. The platform opens with a de claration upon the currency question as fol lows: "We are in favor of a firm, unvarying maintenance of the present gold standard. We are opposed to the free coinage of silver at any ratio, and to the compulsory purchase of sliver bullion by the government. We be lieve that the Interests of the people de mand that the earnings of trade, agriculture, manufacture and commerce, and especially the wages of labor, should be paid in money of the greatest Intrinsic value, and of the hlgfiest standard adopted by the civilized nations of the world. We are, therefore, unalterably opposed to all devices and schemes for. the debasement of our currency. We believe that the federal government should be divorced from the business of banking; we therefore demand the repeal of all laws, authorizing the issue or reissue of legal tender or treasury notes by the govern ment; they should form no part of the cur rency of the people. We favor the enact ment by congress of such legislation as will ensure a banking currency ample In volume for all the needs of business, absolutely se cure under every contingency, and at all times redeemable in gold." The following were elected delegates at large to the national convention: United States Senator James Smith, Newark; A. McDermott, Hudson; ex-United States Senator Rufus Blodgett. Monmouth, and ex- Judge Albert Tallman, Gloucester. The selection of alternates was left to tho delegates at large. The convention then ratified tke district elections of delegates, and then adjourned. MCKINLEY INDORSED. Money Question Dodged by the De troit Convention. DETROIT, Mich., May 7.—An animated fight over the money question was the most striking feature of the Michigan Republican convention. It resulted in squelching both the gold plank offered by the majority and the sliver plank submitted by the minority of the resolutions committee, and the sub stitution therefor of the money plank of the Minneapolis platform of '92. McKinley was Indorsed most unequivocally, and the dele gates were strongly Instructed In _____ favor. D. M. Ferry was choften chairman of the | state central committee, btrt it is not cer tain that he will accept the post, both him self and Gen. Alger, whose name was also presented, having declined the honor in ad vance. As the convention was assembling today, it was announced that Hon. C. M. Depew was in the city. The delegates applauded the announcement, and appointed a committee to Invite Mr. Depew to address the convention. Depew was wildly cheered. He made a characteristically happy address,, reviewing the triumphs of the Republican party, and picturing the alleged sad results of Demo cratic "British" policy. On the currency question, the speaker asserted that the sound principle necessary to prosperity of the country is that its currency must be of the best money in tho world. The mention of McKinley in the list of distinguished liv ing Republicans was cheered with great en thusiasm. The convention was formally called to order by A. W. Smith, In the absence of the chairman. Senator McMillan. O. A. Janes, of Hillsdale, was Introduced as temporary chairman. After the election of a temporary secretary ard the appointment of committees on credentials, organization and resolutions, the convention took a re cess. After the convention reassembled the fol lowing delegates at large were elected: R. A. Alger, Thomas J. O'Brien, John Duncan and Mark S. Brewer. The platform, re ported by the majority of the resolutions committee. Indorses McKinley and protec tion. The financial plank was as follows: "We are unyielding and uncompromising in ___ i _ -fOVT 6^8 Bj-grfriiswA f eai rbb Mi.jmfi MrlMv-mv it » vtm i.'C n-m.- *J>TI-__T" Cl-Tr-VU.T.K'f'l. _I_7" nTI_T_ CHANNING SEABURY HANDLES THE FIRST SHOVELFUL OF DIRT. our demands for sound and honest money. We are in favor of the use of gold and silver and paper dollars In our currency, all to be maintained at a parity. ax to their purchasing and debt-paying power. We are opposed to any provision that will invite depreciation of a portion of our currency, and therefore we are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone under present conditions, and we believe that such a course would destroy the parity of and contract the currency." S. W. Hopkins presented a minority com promise substitute, the first twenty-five words of which were quoted from the na tional platform of '92. Several delegates supported the free silver substitute. After ccnslderable confusion, T. W. Crissey, of Midland, moved to substitute the currency declaration of the Minneapolis platform of '92 for both the committee reports on the money question. The motion prevailed amid cheers. The remainder of the majority res olutions were adopted. IT IS SETTLED. Sherman Says McKinley Will He the St. Lonls Nominee. WASHINGTON, May; 7.—The news from Indianapolis was awaited with Interest at the capitol. When Indiana's action became known, Senator Sherman said the question was settled, and he believed Mr. McKinley would be unanimously nominated. The overwhelming sentiment both north and south was tor him to such an extent that there could be no other outcome. Friends in the senate of other candidates, and candi dates themselves, generally received the an nouncement with a grim smile, but declined as a rule to be quoted. Senator Quay said that he did not consider the fight closed until the St. Louis convention should declare It self, as much would depend upon the con testing delegations. Senator Lodge, referring to the declaration, said, joklngly.that it hard ly seemed "adequate." Senator Cullom smiled as he read the dispatch, but declined to make any comment, as did Mr. Manley and Senator Allison. CONTESTED SEATS. Republican Committee Will Con sider Them at St. Louis. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Senator Carter, chairman of the Republican national com mittee, today gave out the following: "The members of the Republican national committee are requested to meet at the Southern hotel in St. Louis, on Wednesday, June 10, for the purpose of preparing the temporary roll of membership, and designat ing temporary officers for the convention, and for the transaction of such other business as may require the action of the committee. It appears probable that an unusual number of contested cases will be presented for set tlement, in connection with the preparation of the temporary roll. All notices of con tests must be filed with the secretary of the national committee in writing, accompanied by printed statements of the grounds of con test, which shall be made public. Pref erence in the order of hearing and determin ing contests will be given by the committee In accordance with the dates of filing such nctiees and statements with the secretary." - In a Deadlock. LAWRENCE, Kan., May 7.—The second district Republican convention is deadlocked.

HE|iSP FOR jiOIiPS PENALTY OF HIS CRIMES PAID BY THE PHILADELPHIA MULTI MURDERER. HIS NERVE LASTED THROUGH. ON THE SCAFFOLD HE SHOWED NO TRACES OF ANY COWARDLY FEAR. TOOK HIS CONFESSION ALL BACK. He Said He Was Not Guilty of the Murder for Which He Waa Executed. PHILADELPHIA, May 7.—Herman W. Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, was hanged In Moyamensing prison today. The drop fell at 10:12. It was fully a half hour later before he was officially pronounced dead. A half minute before he was shot into eternity ho THE NEW CAPITOL SITE. (From a Photograph Taken by Mr. Haas May 6.) made this declaration. to the solemn assem blage gathered about the scaffold: "I have very few words to say; in fact, 1 would make no remarks at this time, except that by not speaking I would appear to acqui esce In my execution. I only wish to say that the extent of my wrong-doing in taking human life consisted In the death of two women, they having died at my hands as the result of criminal operations. I wish to state here, so there can be no chance of mis understanding, that I am not guilty of tak ing the lives of any of the Pitzel family—the three children, and Benjamin, the father—of whose death I was convicted, and for which I am today to be hanged. That is all I have to say." The words were well chosen and distinctly enunciated. The voice of the condemned man never quavered; the hands, clasped on the dark railing of the scaffold, did not tremble. The nerve which had all along characterized this most marvelous of assassins did not de sert him at the end. As tho last syllable fell from his lips, he turned to his attorney, Mr. Rotan. Clasping the right hand of the young lawyer, Holmes placed his left on the other man's shoulder, and gazing into his eyes, said, In a loud voice: "Good-bye." Then he carefully buttoned his coat, nodded to the sheriff, and an instant later was shot up Into the air. Holmes was undoubtedly the most stolid of any one in the assemblage of more than fifty men. The pallor of his face was no deeper than the ordinary prison bleach, and he stood erect, gazing steadfastly before him until the horrible black cap shut out his last look at earthly things. Holmes spent his last day of life unevent fully. During part of yesterday, Fulher Daiy, of the Church of the Annunciation, visited him and said prayers. In the afternoon, his lawyer, Samuel P. Rotan, spent a short time with him. The rest of the day Holmes spent in reading his Bible, and other devotional books. Father Daly came again early in tne evening, and remained until 10:15 o'clock. After he le£t Holmes wrote letters of fare well until midnight. It is understood that these communications were addressed to his wife in Giimanton, N. H., and Georgiaua Yoke, of Franklin, Ind., the so-cailed uiirU wife, whose testimony did much to bring about today's execution. He also penned a letter of instruction to Mr. Rotan, his coun sel. Absolute secrecy is maintained regard ing the contents of these letters. At 12 o'clock Holmes undressed aad went to bed, under the watchiul eye of Keeper Weaver, who was feariul lest the man in the cell might commit suicide. But apparently nothing was further Irom the abnormal mind of his charge. Holmes slept like an innocent babe, and at 6 o'clock in the morning It re quired two calls to awaken him. At 7 o'clock Fathers Daly and Mac Peak arrived. Hlomes received them silently, and knelt with them while they went over the communion service, according to the rites of the Catholic church, to which he had been converted during the last week, in form at least He had been fasting since midnight The service once over, his breakfast of eggs, dry toast and coffee waa brought in, and he ate it with an apparent relish. The only sign of defiance that he made was Just after the priests left "Am I nervons?" he demanded, stretching his hands out to Keeper Weaver. They were steady aa a rock. Holmes smiled and re tired to the rear of his cell. He declared that he had never felt better in his life. Soon after this, the priests returned and remained with him to the end. Meantime a nervous crowd had gathered outside the gates of the gloomy old prison. A rope had been stretched across the entrance to the passage way leading to the convict department, and inside of this were assembled the sheriff, city officials, jurors and newspaper reporters, wtie had been admitted to witness the exeoutlon. The gates were opened at • o'clock, and the party filed in. Sheriff's Solicitor Wagrew called the list of jurymen In t__e _ruperlnten PRICE TWO CENTS—{.KJ&fSS }— NO. 129. dent's office at the head of the corridor con taining the scaffold. Those who responded included two ex-sheriffs of this city, seven physicians and an undertaker. Sheriff Clem ent administered the oath, and two minutes after 10 o'clock, the procession to the gal lows was begun, beaded by Prison Supt Perkins, and Assistant Supt. Richardson. Fifty or more men, with uncovered heads, made up the solemn parade that halted before the scaffold. The instrument of death loomed high in the center of the corridor. The plat form, which stood eight feet above the level of the floor, was approached by a flight of steps. The witnesses passed around the structure and faced it Silence followed for a moment. Then a murmur arose from the other side of the scaffold. It was the pray ers of the priests who were escorting Holmes to the gallows. A moment later they mounted the steps and came into view, the priests, arrayed In their vestments, stood on either side of the condemned man, and chanted the "Miserere." Holmes, his eyes fixed upon a crucifix, which he clasped In his hands, walked steadily be tveen them. He wore a sack coat and trous ers of gray material, and a white shirt There was a thin growth of beard on his chin. There was a pause as they reached the trap, and then Holmes stood forward and de livered his speech. It took him exactly two minutes to utter what nearly every man there regarded as the last of a series of lies. Father Daly knows, if any living man does, whether or not Holmes went Into eter nity with a lie on his lips, for to him Holmes, either last night or today, made a final con fession. When the murderer confided to the priest ls a secret of tho confessional, and it will never be made public. After shaking hands with his lawyers, who then left the scaffold, Holmes turned and bade farewell to Supts. Perkins and Richard sen, and the priests, who were the other oc cupants of the gallows. Then the clergymen knelt In silent prayer. They arose at 10:12. In another minute the end had como. Holmes' bands were manacled behind him. The nocse and the black cap were adjusted and the stillness was broken by a sound that echoed along the corridors like the sharp crack of a pistol. The body shot up and then hung with a tremor. As the echoes died away, the voices of the priests softly arose. They were chanting the prayers for those in the agonies of death. Five minutes later six physicians examined the body. They gave no official opinion, but Dr. Butcher privately stated that a broken neck had undoubtedly caused death. The heart beat feebly for fully fifteen minutes after the fall, but to all In tents and purposes, the man was killed by the drop. Tho body was allowed to hang until 10:45 o'clock. Then It was cut down and placed in a coffin. At 12:30 the big iron doors in the rear of the prison swung open, and an un dertaker's wagon rolled out. The wagon drove rapidly to Mount Morlah cemetery, where It placed the plain, black casket In a vault. Here it will probably remain for two or three days, when It will be quietly in terred in another graveyard. Whether or not it will be finally buried In consecrated ground depends upon Holmes' last words with Father Daly, and tho will of Archbishop Ryan. Almost Immediately after the execution a letter carrier walked up to the gates of the prison, and delivered a newspaper addressed to H. 11. Holmes! As the undertaker's wagou rolled out of the court It wa3 pursued at a distance by a crowd of gamins, who pounded gleefully on the side of the vehicle until driven away by the police. There will be no autopsy on the body of Holmes. Among his last words was a strict injunction to Attor ney Rotan to forbid a dissection of his re mains. INDIAN EXECUTED.

Homes was led out of the court house, where religious set vices had been held, and placed on a box, five paces from the door. A blindfold was placed over his eyes, and two deputy sheriffs stood on either side holding his hands. Deputy Sheriff Bob Jackson did the shooting, standing just inside the 'flurt house door.

One of them, whose tram was stuck in the mud, Is said to have refused tho proffered help of a friendly passer-by to extricate hims.lf. He said that lor three years he had lived In Western Kansas, and during that time had not seen enough rain to make mud, and he wished to be left alone to the enjoyment of all he wanted of It for once. However, the condi tions are fast mending in this respect, and before the opening day the water will have disappeared, and the broad acres of agri cultural land on the reserve will be dry. and such a contest for t^ir possession will be under way as was never seen before with in the borders of Minnesota, If, Indeed, it has ever existed In the nation.
