Ex-President Savala, Montiel Morales and other rvevolutioaary leaders marched with the soldiers. The citizens who lined the streets all the ¢ to the president’s palace, cheered the soldiers enthusiastically.

They take the house and the home of the peasant. They are werse than the social democrats.” Then Bismarck says, very angrily: *I repeat you have not the floor of the house.” rdt, without paying attention to the admonition, began speaking again, till he was brusquely interrupted in his turn by semitic Liebermann, who remarked ically: “Ahlwardt, don't spout.

Corumpus, O., June 7.—Llomorrow’s sun will seo the beginming of a new race for the presidency. Before the Ohio state conven- tion adjourns for the day the first candidate will be fairly in the field. His name is Wil- liam McKinley. ‘Tonight, at least, that is the outlook—barring an earthquake or some- thing equally unexpected—for it seems well understood that McKinley’s renomination tomorrow, which promises to be by acelama tion, is only the start of a campaign for the highest honor in the gift of the nation. Whatever opposition there may have been here has apparently failed to organize its forces against the famous gov- ernor, or, with a chivalry worthy of the oc- casion, has been unwilling to take such an ungracious part, The latter hypothesis finds some conflrmation in the fact that no name, not even that of McKinley, wrought a greater whirlwind of applause in the con- vention today than that of McKinley's old- time rival, ex-Governor Foraker. The men- tion of Foraker's name occurred in a brief address at the very outset of the proceed- ings, the speaker being F.

Instantly there was a round of cheering. 1t was a picturesque beginning of the star con- vention of the year.

The rival leaders, Sherman ana Foraker, are absent, though their friends are bound to see that no undue advantage is taken of the fact of the absence of their re- spective captains, It seems probable in advance of action that the present ofticers will be renominated. In Governor McKinley's case it is cly con- cealed that the expectation is that 1f suc- cessful in the race(s it will make him the logical eandidate for the presidency in the next campaign The temvorary chairman, Hon.

He dwelt on the wisdom of the McKinley bill, the number of articles which came in free under it, while at th me time proteéting American in- dustries and declared that if the democrats attempted to pass an advalorem tariff they would have to make a rate of 30 per cent all around, leaving nothing on the free list He atiributed the present hard times not so much to the silver problem as to the appre- hension that the democrats will o out their pledges in regard to upsetting the tariff. He declared that protection and reciprocity were the twin sources of Ameri- can prosperitv. Extracts from Senator Sherman's Letter. Senator Sherman, writing from Washing. ton, D.
