Now, to this mighty chorus the Tippecanoe Club wishes to add its gladsome note of praise and thanksgiving over the triumph of our political idol. We are a club largely composed of young men at that formative period of life when they are wont to select some one as & model and & guide, and several vears ago William McKinley was, by common consent, selected by us all as that model. The great occesions in our club's history have been the banquets at which William McKinley Jr. was present and adaressed us. We have lived near Governor McKinley, have often seen him and heard him speak, and with fond admira- tion have followed his private and public life and have a profound love and respect for him. We look to him as our leader, and have ever | been Teady to go where he sent or follow where he led us. We cannot but love a man who has never been led by political rainbows to follow strange gods, but has ever been true | to his political faith and always kept incense | burning at the altar of protection, through whose favors alone can a sure and lasting Pprosperity come to our country. Had victory not been given at St. Louis we should still have loved and admired Major McKinley, but as he was triumphant tbere we now feel called upon | for renewed efforts to make secure, if possible, that the triumph at St. Louis may be followed | by an equally sweeping victory in November. As President of the United States William Mc- Kinley will walk into a broader life, but we know he will still be guided by the same noble | aims and high purposes which have conirolled | him hitherto. | | | As he has been an inspiration to the young men of the Tippecanoe Club so will he be an inspiration to the young menof tne Nation, both those now living and those who shall read the story of his life, They will find hima good and upright citizea in every-day life, & careful, faithful, industrious man, a loyal sol- dier in times of war, a profound statesman in times of peace, devoted to principle, a believer in America for Americans and a champion of protection more persevering and successful than any of our great leaders iiving or dead. We of the Tippecanoe Club love him and long for the day when we can greet him as Presi- dent William McKinley. Mr. Wolcott was followed by General C. H. Grosvenor. General Grosvenor’s fame asa MaKinley worker had gone before him and he was given a cordial welcome. The chairman introduced him as the rec- ognized leader of the Republican House of Representatives. Speaking of theis- sues of the campaign General Grosvenor said: “The Republican Convention at St. Louis did not abandon any of the tenets of its ancient political faith. Nordid it announce any new doctrine. It stands to- | day, as shown by 1ts platform, where it | stood from 1861, all along the shining path- way it has journeyed. “Bear in mind, it was the Republican | party which enacted the law authorizing | the issue of the greenback dollar and pro- | claimed as the solemn purpose of the country that the greenback should be a demand upon the treasury for a dollar as good as the dollar of the best and richest country on earth. It was the Republican party which redeemed that promise and gave a dollar in gold to the holders of each | dollar of their money. *“The silver question now soon to be a National issue between the men of sound money ideas and the Populistic fifty-cent dollar advocates is a convenient mark to hide behind by the party which, coming | into power in 1893, proceeded to destroy | the industsies of the country and plunge the treasury into insolvency. That is the real issue of this campaign. The answer to this question and issue will come from the people. The people alwavs settle the real issues. The people have decreed that we shall raise money sufficient to main- tain our treasury, and that we shall not | borrow it from Europe.” Hon. James H. Hoyt of Clevelana fol- lowed General Grosvenor. His speech was the most humorous of the day, and was heartily applauded. Charles Emery Smith was most heartily greeted when the chairman introauced him as the friend of Blaine, Garfield, Har- rison and McKinley. Mr. Smith, among other things, said: “I congratulate you upon the supreme honor which comes to the man whom youn in your love and faith have given 1o pub- | liclife, and I congratulate him upon the | personal devotion and long and loyal sup- | port of such people as I see before me. No man can hold the coptinued fidelity of such & people without being worthy of the broadest trust. This earnest and high- minded community represents and reflects the intelligence, judgment and patriotism | of the great American people. To preserve the full and constantly growing confidence | of such a constituency requires service of | the highest standard, and is itself: the | pathway and the title to the confidence of | the whole country. The rulers of the | Republic have for the most part sprung from such communities. The Lincolns, the Grants, the Garfields, the Blaines, the Harrnsons have met the highest demands of tie Nation because they have grown up | with the flavor of the soil and in close touch with the plain people. “To this immortal roll of people’s leaders, Major McKinley comes by the right of a popular choice and anointment unsur- passed in all our history. The future years will look back to the convention of 1896 with admiration and gratitude for its courage, its high spirit and its unflinching action. It was the bravestof all conven- tions in the history of the party and the truest in its direct reflection of the peo- ple’s will.” The last speaker, save McKinley, was the brilliant young orator who has suc- ceeded him in Congress, Hon. Robert W. Taylor. Mr. Taylor declared that the Democrats are trying to direct attention from the real issue by talk about an im- aginary one, We had, he maintained, the same currency and currency legislation in 1890, 1891 and 1892, and we were prosper- ous then. McKinley represented the anti- thesis of all the legislation and wvrinciple the people complain of. He was the peo- ple’s candidate. A glee club sang a campaign song and | November? | side. | South. | convention, before the song was finished Major Mc- Kmnley came upon the platform. In a moment there was an outburst of applause and cheering and when he arose to speak the noise was deafening. Major McKinley looked well and his voice was strong. He sai “My fellow-citizens: I thank you for this magnificent demonstration. I think I know just what it means. It is in no sense personal, but it is the assurance of the interest which you feel in the great questions which are to be considered in the great campaign and which are to be settted by the American peovle at the ensuing election. It means, my fellow- citizens, that you are attached by every tie of fealty and affection to the fundamental doctrines of the Republican party. Re- publican principles do not perish; they | matter matter at issue. I fear it has gone beyond that point.” “Have you asked Senators Gorman and Brice to attend the convenilon as a party duty ?” “No; they have no reason to believe that they could accomplish anything. None of us has.”” “If a free-coinage candidate 1s named on a free-coinage platform what will be the result?” “Practically it will disrupt the Demo- cratic party. No power on earth can either coerce or persuade sound-money Democrats to forsake the fundamental principle of Democracy. They do not re- gard this question as either factional, sectional or political. The main- tenance of National credit . is a of National honor. The have not suffered by defeat; they have not | Saratoga platform emphasizes this fact. suffered by their temporary rejection by the people. “They are brighter and more glorious to- day than they have ever been before. [Cries of ‘That's right.'] They are en- deared to every American citizen and en- shrined in every American heart. [Loud applause.] Their defeat before the Amer- ican people has never brought good to any American interest and their triumph has brought only good to the American peo- ple. [Appiause.] And, my fellow-citizens, those principles are to be tried before you this year. What will your answer be in [A voice—The election of McKinley,” and loud cheering, which | lasted several mnoments before the Gover- nor could resume his speech.] *““What are those principles, my country- | men? A protective tariff that takes care of every American interest and secures the highest good of American labor. [Great cheering.] A principle that in- sists that our work shall be done at home and not abroad. [Loud yelling and ap- plause.] A reciprocity that, while seeking the world’s markets for our surplus prod- ucts, will never yield up a singleday’s work that belongs to the American working- man. [Vociferous cheering.] And then, a sound dollar—as sound as the Govern- ment and as untarnished as its flag. [Loud cheering.] A dollar that is good, mnot only at home, but good wherever trade goes; a is as good in the hands of the farmer and workipgman as in the hands of the manufacfurer or the capitalist.

The former leads with 106 votes, claiming Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Ari- zona, Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Massachusetts with thirty votes and New Hampshire with eight will go for ex-Gov- ernor Russell. New York will back Wil- liam C. Whitney with seventy-two and alifornia will support its brilliant native son, Stephen M. White, with eighteen yotes. Of course, Boies will be loyally backed by Towa with twenty-six votes and Matthews ‘with Indiana’s sclid thirty. Kentucky will present Blackburn to the Pennsylvania is pledged to Patterson, Ohio has its McLean and South Carolina its Tiliman,while Illinois, though unpledged to any candidate, may swing inline for Stevenson. With such anarray | of Democratic talent representing all sec- tions of the country and all phases of Democracy, and with so many conflicting, it would be a reckless person who would attempt to pick a winner. FraNK MoGUIRE, [NO CHANCE AT CHICAGO. Whitney Does Not Think That a Compromise Will Be Made at the Convention. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 27.—A repre- sentative of the United Press called upon Hon. W. C. Whitney at his residence, 52 W st Fifty-seventn street, and had the following interview with him as to the coming campaign: “‘How is the campaign progressing?’ asked the reporter. +Like 1860, the truth must be told,”’ replied Mr. Whitney. *“What are the chances of sound money in Chicago?” “Unless tie situation changes, and our Southern and Western friends are dis- posed to reason with us, no chance what- ever.” “What do you hear in the South and West?” “Judging by the letters | receive, there is no apparent disposition to discuss the | our country’s honor. | position. 1t is as positive as words can ex- | monstrous in effect. | donment of principle. dollar -that | of | I thank | | It says the rigid mamntenance of the pres- ent gold standard at the present time is essential to the preservation of our Na- tional credit, the redemption of our pub- lic pledges and the keepinz inviolate of That is New York's press; and it cannot be changed.” “Then you do pot Jook for a compro- mise?"’ “Compromise is impossible. Debase- ment of the carrency would be more than It would be aban- It would disgrace every citizen. It would be not merely dis- honest, but dishonorable. And you can- not compromise a question of honor.” “*What do you expect todoin Chicago?” “Do everything in our power to save the party and protect the country. That is the plain duty of every Democrat who goes to Caicago, and it is none the less the duty of those who stay at home not to hamper the efforts of those who go. And by those who stay at home, I mean not merely Democrats. I mean to include every good citizen regardless of politics or prejudices. The crisis which has come upon us is the most serious menace to National prosperity and to the welfare of the people since 1860. This is the time when all men who love their country must stand together to avert, if possible, public disgrace and the wreck of hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the coun- try.” ‘Do you not despair of success, then?’” “No; we cannot tell whether the knowl- edge of the attitude of Eastern Democrats will affect the determination of the South- ern and Western Democrats who have not known until within the vast week how strong the feeling here is. The vigorous expression of our position may cause hesi- tation, especially among the rank and file of the Democracy, who I cannot believe want to drive all Eastern Democrats out of the party. I know some of the leaders of the movement assume that attitude, but I am not yet convinced that the peo- ple behind them do. If not, they will make their wishes known and felt.” e THURMAN’S STATEMENT. Says That Such Interviews as Whitney’s Will Not Frighten Any One. COLUMBUS, Ox1o, June 27.—After read- ing an interview given by ex-Secretary Whitney in New York to-day, in which Mr. Whitney said there seemed to be no hove of saving the Democratic party from disruption unless the Southern and West- ern Democrats would listen to reason on the coinage question, Allen W Thurman gave out the following statement to-night: There is now going on in this country an ir- repressible conflict between the British stand- ard (gold) on tnhe one side and the American standard (gold and silver), the money guar- anteed by the Constitution, on the other, Shall the Demoeratic party declare in its platform that it favors a violation of the Constitution; that the people shall not obey it unless the Governments of Europe give them permission to do so? This is what all the talk about en inter- national agreement really means; this is what the Republican party said at Bt. Louis. Shall the Democratic party merely re-echo the voice of the Republican party on & question that cannot be suppressed and which will over- shadow all others in the coming campaign? If s0, why should we go to Chicago at all? Euch interviews as Mr., Whitney's will frighten no one. On the contrary, they only intensify the issue, and his writing about the dishonesty of those who differ with him will only make them more determined. The silver men of the West and South have long known that the Democrats of Mr. Whitney's school would much prefer seeing a gold Republican President rather than a silver Democrat in the Presidential chair. Mr. Whitney’s interview will make this perfectly clear to every delegate who will be at Chicago, and while ail will re- gret that Mr. Whitney has determined to ieave the party they will bedr it rather then to put their principles into his keeping. ALLEN W. THURMAN, ———— BLAND AND HIS EOOMERS They WIll Invade Chicago and Cer- tainly Be Heard During the Convention. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., June 27.—Ex-Congress- man R. P. Bland, Governor William J. Stone and several other free-silver Demo- crats of prominence arrived here to-day from Lebanon, Mo., the home of Mr. Bland. On the wubject of his personal connection with the work of the Chicago convention Mr. Bland declined to talk. He was confident a free-silver platform would be adopted. He gave his opinion of the New York platform as follows: *It is as good as any Republican platform. It simply uses the old international bimetal- lism theory to cover up the tracks of the gold bugs.” Mr. Biand would not venture an opin- ion as to thelocation of the real battle. He even thought Democratic chances good in New York. Governor Stone was more communica- tive. He was asked if the two-thirds rule would be abrogated at Chicago. “Idon’t know asto that. Iam of the opinion that two things must be carried | tue Republican party has through, the 16 to 1 platform and the nomination of Bland, and whatever ought to be done te bring that about should be done.” The Governor leaves for Chicago Mon- {day night. The Biand headquarters at the Auditorium, Chicago, will be opened Monday by Colonel Nick Bell. Bland’s boom for the nomination will be reinforced by 2000 Missourians, mem- bers of different Bland clubs. A special train will carry them north on July 5. These clubs are uniformed and drilled and in the matter of shouting and music will surely be heard. it iy COOK COUNTY POPULISTS. They Give an Ovation to Natlonal Chairman Taubeneck and Elect Delegates. CHICAGO, ILL., June 27.—Three hun- dred delegates, representing the People’s party of Cook County, assembled in con- vention here to-day. H. E. Taubeneck, | chairman of the National Committee, was one of the distinguished Populists on the platform. He not only took away with | him to St. Louis to-night the pleasant memory of tributes paid to his fidelity by other party leaders, but he received the hilarious plaudits of the delegates and a unanimous vote of confidence by resolu- tion. Every mention of his name and his acts as a Populist evoked the enthusiasm of the convention. When Mr. Taubeneck rose to respond he expressed his confidence, but he made no dire ct reference to the St. Louis Teller in- cident, in approval of which the demon- strations were made. He said a crisis was on the party ai the present time, and the party was facing it. There was enough generalship and enough statesmanship in the ranks of the party to steer it through to safety, no matter how many rocks it might encounter. “The bolt of the silver Republicans at St. Louis,”” continued the National chair- man, amid an outburst of applause, “practically assures us of the vote of every Presidential elector west of the Mississippi River. It insures usof the success of all of our legislative, Congressional and State tickets, and that section of the country frcm henceforth begjongs to the Populist «column. Y88 *“When the'Democratic cpnvention ad- journs in Chicago next month the result of their action will be that the territory south of the Ohis River will also belong to the People’s party. At our convention in St. Louis there will be no surrender of part, rights, of party name or party principles.” Dr. Howard 8. Taylor, chairman oi the County Central Committee, who was also | chosen permanent chairman of the con- vention, was the object of a demonstration as flattering as that'accorded to Mr. Tau- beneck. By unanimous resolution the twenty- two delegates were chosen to represent the county at tha St. Louis convention, and are also requested to use all their ef- forts with the Illinois delegates to obtain for Dr. Taylor the second place on the National ticket. Dr. Taylor is a Chicago Jawyer, who has been an active ieader of the party since its | birth, and Chairman Taubeneck in his speech expressed the hope that the con- vention’s choice would be nominated and elected. Dr. Taylor and Christopher O'Brien were the two chosen delegates at large. The sentiment of all the speeches was for independent action at St. Louis. Z oigg e TELLER NOT TALKATIVE. Says He Is in No Sense of the Word a Candidate for the Presldency. MORRISON, IrL, June 27.—Senator Teller has been quietly resting here since the day after the St. Louis convention. His aged mother, one brother, several sis- ters and any number of relatives reside at Morrison and in Whiteside County. A héavy mail has foliowed Teller. He ad- mits that many of the epistles received speak of him in connection with the Pres- idency. This was in answer to a question put to him: “I am in no sense of the word a candidate.” 5 ‘“‘But you could not refuse a nomination were it tendered ?" “It has not been offered,” was the answer. “No man has a right to say he will accept or decline an honor before it is offered.” “You must know that your friends are working to have you nominated at Chicago, and with the ultimate hope that all the silver forces may combine on you before the end of July.” “My good friends are enthusiastic for me, and I have had intimations thata movement is on foot to present my name, but I prefer not to discuss the matter in the papers. You can readily see that in my position it would be indelicate for me 10 express opinions personal to myself.” e s ey The Populist Convention. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 27.—J. H. Mec- Dowell, who will be sergeant-at-arms of the Populist National Convention, has ar- rived in the city and opened headquarters in the Commercial building. He says he will appoint not more than 400 assistants. Mr. McDowell says he expects 30,000 Pop- ulists in the city during the convention, besides many silver men who are not al- lied with the party. There will be 1375 delegates present. g el ZLeaves the Republican Party. OMAHA, NEsr., June 27.—Tue World- Herald will to-morrow print an open let- ter from Judge Cunningham R. Scott of h district bench, in which he states that © Re 1] one back on its prinéiples in-adopting a goid platform and that he cannot support it. Judge Scott has been a life-long Republican and ran ahead of his ticket at the last election. e Nevin 1s Nominated. HAMILTON, Onro, June 27.—The Re- publicans of the Third Coneressional Dis- trict in convention here to-day nominated by acclamation Robert M. Nevin of Day- ton for Congre: n. i ‘Young men orold should not fail to read Thomas Slater's advertisement on page 80. STRUCK h SURKEN B The Big Cunarder Umbria Meets With a Peculiar Mishap. But the Vessel Is Soon Cleared and Being Uninjured Proceeds on the Voyage, 1 QUARANTINE, 8. L, June 27.—The big Cunarder Umbria, Captain Dutton, which left her pier in New York Uity at 9 o’clock this morning with over 700 first and sec- ond class passengers, met with a mishap before she had cleared the bar at Sandy Hook which delayed her twelve hours. The steamer had swung from her pieron the first ebb tide and had made a quick trip down the bay, passing this place three-quarters of an hour after leaving her dock. She proceeded rapidly along the channel under the guidance of Pilot Jo- siah John and had reached a point about two miles off Sandy Hook when she struck a snag in the shape of a sunken coal barge in the middle of Gedney’s channel and was soon hard aground. There was much confusion for a time on the decks of the liner, which were crowded with passengers taking a last look at the receding shores, but Captain Dutton and his officers quickly reassured them and they philosophically accepted the situa- tion. The vessel struck the sunken barge at 10:15 o’clock this morning when the tide was pretty near at the full, so there was nothing to do but to wait for the high tide this evening. The wreckers had every- thing in readiness by 8 o’clock and it was then decided to try to get the vessel off. The tugs got in position, and, aided by the steamer’s own screws, the work was begun. 5 Aditer half an hour of tugging and pull- ing the stedmer slid off the barge on which she had been resting in deep water and immediately started for the open sea. The vessel proceeded just outside the:bar and at 9:33 dropped anchor. The wrecking tugs followed her out to sea and Captain Everett, the diver, was sent down to examine her hull. After a careful examination, lasting over an hour, he reported that the ship had sustained no damage. As the ship was making no water it was evidently decided on to con- tinue the voyage, for shortly after 10:30 o'clock the anchors were hauled in, the ship headed due east and the voyage to the other side bezan. Ao TWO BULEGLARS SHOT. Surprised by the Police They ,Fought With Revolvers. CHICAGO, [1L., June 27.—Two burglars were shot and perhaps fatally wounded to-night while at work in a housg at 265 Chestnui street. At a late hour word was received at the East Chicago avenpe sta- tion that burglars were breaking into a Chestnut-street house and that the occu- pants were out attending some entertain- ment. Officers were dispatched to tne scene and surprised the burglars at work. A great number of shots were exchangea. No officers were hurt, but both burglars were wounded and sent to the hospital. Chestnut street is a fashionable residence district. One of the burglars was recognized as Dan Carey, a well-known thief. He will die. The other is a tough character by the name of Brown. It is believed he will recover. e MILITARY TRAGEDY IN NEBRASK A A Private Murders a Sergeant and Is in Turn Killed by a Sentry. VALENTINE, NEBR., June 27.—Private Weaver of Company C to-day shot Ser- geant Livingston of Company D without the least provocation and instantly killed him. Weaver in turn was shot by a guard and soon died from his wounds. The affair occurred on the parade ground and caused great excitement. Weaver was ap- parently under the iufluence of drink. ‘The first bullet struck Weaver’s victim in the knee and the second pierced his heart. Weaver was instructed to give up his weapon, but refused and commenced to fire promiscuously. The sentinel then fired and the bullet struck the magazine of Weaver’s gun, exploding it and inflict- ing an ugly wound in his groin, from | which he died soon afterward. _— IHE COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS.

Gentry, the actor on trial for the murder of his actress sweetheart, Mudge Drysdale, known on the stage as Madge Yorke, returned a verdict this morning of guilty of murder in the first degree. i Gentry looked a physical wreck as he heard the pronouncing of his doom. His appearance was pitiable. The verdict was formally recorded and the customary motion made for a new trial. Thursday next was set by Judge Yerkes as the day for hearing the argument upon the motion. ——— WIFE-MURDERER LYNCHED. Officials and Citizens Taken Wholly by Surprise. LA PLATA, Mp., June 27.—Joseph Cock- ing, who was awaiting trial here for the murder of his wife and sister-in-law, was taken from jail at an early hour this morn- inz and hanged. The mob of executioners had been quickly organized, and tie au- thorities were taken whoui Dy surprise.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 27.—Great excite- ment was caused 1n the center of the busi- ness district to-ntght by an overcharge of dynamite in a well. One person was in- jured and many others had narrow escapes. In the Columbia Theater there came near being a panic and a number of people left the house, being frightened by the noise. | A well is in course of construction just back of the Losetti restaurant on Madison street, between Clark and Dearborn, and an overcharge of dynamite to-night caused an exolosion, which raised rocks on the surrounding streets. The engineer in charge was hit by a flying stone and painfully injured, but no one else was hurt. BRI Assassinated in Denver. ! DENVER, Covro., June 27.—Joseph G.
