High Salaries. Many were the people who envied Henry C. Hydehissalary of $100,000 per annum as president of a life in- surance company, says an exchange. They wondered at his death that he had only accumulated $550,000, and concluded that a man ona salary can’t save much these days when millionaires turn their money over f again in trust deeds. Now comes another subject for wonder and envy, for Vice-President McDonald, the Standard Oil Com- pany, has gone to New York to assist President Rockefeller and his salary makes those of the other corporation office-holders look like 30 cents—for he is to receive $200,000 per annum, $16,666.66 a month, $548 for every day in the year, Sunday included. Up tothe time of his death Hyde had received the highest salary ever paid in the United States, Depew, as ident of the New York Central having been credited with only $75,- McDonald is now the highest paid, and only a trust of the colossal wealth of the Standard oil Company could soreward anemploye.—Nevada Post.

C., Dee. 6.—Phila-} delphia is the place and June 19 tle time when William McKinley is to be |renominated as the standard .bear. r of the republican party. The republican national committee decided these too essential points at its meeting to-day. It was induced to send the conven- tion east instead of west chiefly le cause of a certified check for $100,- 000 made out payable to “Mark A. Hanna, chairman,” and left in his possession when the Philadelphia del- egation filed out of the room just prior to the vote being taken. That bit of paper practically set- tled the convention location. New York had Depew and Wood- ruff and an alleged humorist named Ford to present its claims; Chieago had the best orators of the Hamilton club, including some of its very best butchers, to talk for it; St. Louis had Nat Frank, ex-Mayor Walbridge and Edward Devoy to tell what it would do, but not one of the three left a cer- tified cheek for $100,000 in the hands of Senator Hanna. So in one, two, three order they were bowled over, and the Quaker with the cash put the persimmon in 1is fruit basket. It required only two t tle the contest. Chairman Hanna held to that certified check like southern blacksnake to a negro’s heel and the res:2!t \ i tory for staid Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA AND SOUTH COMBINE. The effort of Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin to put forward the issue of reducing the delegations from the south was also a good thingfor Phil- adelphia. It enabled her delegation to combine with the southern mem- bers. But above all else, except the certified check, Philadelphia owes her victory to Missouri. When Chicago was presenting her claim it rudely refused to notice St. Louis as being one of the cities in the contest. When reminded by Chair- man Kerens that St. Louis on the map and in the contest, Chicago laughed boisterously and told the national committee that Chicago re- garded St. Louis as one of its sub- urbs. The committee laughed too, but a little later this bird came home to roost, and to-night Chicagois be- wailing its stock yard humor. On the second ballot the vote was first reported as Philadelphia 25 and Chieago 23. This was at once dis- puted and the vote taken over again. This time it was Chicago 24, Phila- delphia 24, with the National Com- mitteeman Kernes of Missouri, not voting. When he saw thatit wasa tie the Missourian rose to the occa- sion. With the echo of the Chicago delegation’s derisive laughter at St. Louis still ringing in his ears he plumped his vote for Philadelphia, and that is the story of how a laugh at the wrong time cost Chicago tle national convention of 1900. The meeting of the committee was held at the Arlington hotel and was presided over by Senator Hanna, the chairman of the committee. Forty- three of the forty-five states and each of the six territories were represented. In addition to the committee there were many of the big wigs of the re- publican party in attendance. The proceedings throughout were enthusiastic and harmonious, every 8 h that was made emphasizing the fact that President McKinley wiil be renominated, and that the con- vention will be in effect simply a rati- fication meeting.
