Republican UMifleattea laity.
The announcement by telegram yes-
terday afternoon of the nomination of
Major William McKinley of t)hio by
the republican natlbnal convention in
session in St. Louis sent a flame of cn
thusiasm through the republicans of
Abilene and there was quite a gather-
ing on tne tightof-way and the dven
ing was'nade hilarious with a bonfire
anvil firing and speech miking.
The democrats present joined their
republican neighbors in hurrahing and
did no little towards making them feel
good admonishing them to enj y
themselves while yet they may for
the day was coming said the demo-
crats when there would be nothing for
the republicans to rejoice over.
The republican speakers Mere John
Morrow J. G Lowdon Ludwing
Lapowski andR. B. Ispm (colored).
Mr. Lowdon made a neat patriotic
speech and through a free silver
man and a Reed man he took his medi-
cine like a man who holds the princi-
pals of his party above his purse. Mr.
Lipowski said that white he thought
a little more silver wou:d be beneficial
he would take his medicine straight.
John Morrow was also a stiver man
and for Allison Morton or Reed in pref-
erence to McKinley. yet the medicine
was better than he thought it was and
he would take it and shell the woods
(or more. R. B. Isom the colored
man divided the honors of the even-
ing with the speakers and kept Howard
Young busy sounding the anvil ap-
plause. The good feeling grew to such an
extent that the democrats -were called
on for speeches and as Fred Cockrell
Esq. can speak on any subject and
under any circumstances he made a
good humor talked and said some nice
things about their candidate but drew
the line at their platform. Everything
passed off pleasantly and not a razor
was flashed.
Our lightning reporter caught Mor
row's speech which is as follows:
Fellow Citizens: The purpose ol
this meeting tonight is to ratefy the ac
tion of the Republican National Con
vention at St. Louis in the adoDtion

Hon. Wm. McK mley" as president.

it is generaly conceded that this nomi'
anon assures the election. This con-
Iveniion has been watched with breath-
less interest by an entire nation. Not
so much because the nomination was
considered equivalent to election but
because the future destinies of a great
nation were trembling in the balance.

financial crisis with lack of confidence

is due to the fact that four years
go in a moment of sublime folly the
eopte of this great commonwealth

man unworthy of their trust a man
ho led them to the very verge of

paokruptcy. That man is Grover

The Alvorado Bulletin thinks that
gentlemen who oppose a second term
for Governor Culberson ought to
specify their objections definitely. If
he has not made a good gevernor they
should tell us wherein he has failed to
do so. If he has not done his duty
they should point out his shortcom-
ings. Let's be honest about this
matter.
Some time ago Ralph Seelyi who is
a bachelor living near New Paltz N
Y. inserted an advertisement in a Tol-
edo paper for a wife and gave the as-
sumed name of Winfred Hale. The
advertisement was answered by a
Dayton (O) woman who gave the
name of Miss Maggie Sloan also as
sumed her real name being Mrs.
Sarah Weeks a widow. Over the as-
sumed names a correspondence was
opened and a marriage was arranged.
Seely went and met his correspondent
at her home in West Dayton. Then
the betrothed couple discovered that
they were brother and sister who had
not seen each other for many years.
The engagement was declared off but
the meeting was a happy one after
all.

reply: Wo suggest pribery persuasion

ance. If he remains obstinate use
rawhide on rawhide. Welt him until
he is ready to hold up his hands and
promise never to smoke another ci-

one that smokes cigarettes."
Republican Nominees.
As announced yesterday Major
William McKinley has been nominat-
ed by the republicans as their standard
bearer iu the coming presidential
campaign.
Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey
has been nominated for vice-president.
Major McKiniey is one of the best
men in the republican party and his
personal character is spotless. He
lias been governor of his state and a
representative in congress and is the
author of the McKinley bill.
Very little is kowc of Garrett A.
Hobart but he is said to be a large
manufacturer.
The platform is for a gold standard
and the issue between tho democratic
and republican parties will be the
financial question.
