WASHINGTON, May 18.—-The supreme
council of the American Protective asso-
ciation elected officers for the ensuing
year as follows: President, J. W. Echols
of Atlanta; vice president. Henry» S. Wil-
liams of Boston; secretary, H. P. J.
Swain of California; chaplain, W. H.
Gotwold of this city.
Following is the full report of the ad-
visory board on the McKinley, question.
which was adopted, practically without
oppositlcn or discussion:
To the Supreme Council of the American
Protective Association In Session In
May, 1896:
We, your national advisory board, beg
leave to most respectfully make the fol-
lowing report:
Your board finds, after investigation,
that there is no reason why any one of the
following named candidates for the Re-
publioan nomination for president of the
United States campaign of 1896 may not
be supported by the members of the order:
,Hon. William B. Allison of Iowa, Hon.
Thomas B. Reed of Maine, Matthew Quay
of Pennsylvania, Hon. Shelby M. Cullom
of Illinois, Governor Bradley of Kentucky,
Hon. Benjamin Harrison of Indiana, Hon.
Levi P. Morton of New York and Hon. Wil-
liam McKinley of Ohio.
Regarding the matter heretofore appear-
ing in the public press relative to Govern-
or William McKinley, we find that it was
sustained by the evidence in the posses-
sion of the executive committee of this
‘board at the time of publication, but sub-
sequent statements receivcd by this board
from the special committee sent by au-
thority of this board to interview Mr. Mc-
Kinley say that he denies and explains
the greater part of the matter contained in
said evidence, and these (statements are
accepted by this board. Said committee
also reported that in said interview with
Governor McKinley be fully and unequiv-
ocally indorsed the principles of this or-
der, and, in order that no injustice may
be done him, worecommend that so much
of this action as may be deemed wise be
given to the press for publication.
We also find that the action of the ex-
ecutive committee of this board relative
to same was taken in good faith by the
committee and this board, believing that
under the action of the supreme council
session of May, 1895, as shown on page
106 of the proceedings, conferred upon
them full power to do as they did.
, NO candidates of any other political par-
ty have been investigated, for the reason
that none have yet come before the public
sufficiently prominent to demand an in-
vestigation by this order. We also recom-
mend that provision be made to ascertain
the attitude toward the principles of this
order of any and all candidates for a place
on national tickets, to the end that mem-
bers of this order may be able to act and
vote intelligently. all of which is re-
spectfully submitted.
B. F. HUDDLESTON, Chairman Pro Tem.
THOMAS S. KING, Secretary Pro Tem.
Several resolutions were also adopted.
The most interesting of these provides for
the appointment Of a committee of five to
take steps toward the establishment in
Washington Of a bureau for inquiry into
and the collection of facts regarding the
alleged activity of the Roman Catholic
church in politics.
IDAHO REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention Declares For Free
Silver, Protection and Reciprocity.
POCATELLO, Idaho, May 18.—The Repub-
lican state convention proved a harmoni-
ous gathering. The Dubois men were in
control by about 180 to 70. The financial
plank is very emphatic and comprehen-
sive. It be gan:
“Whereas, The Republican convention
Of 1888 declared in favor of: gold and sil-
ver as standard money of the United
States and condemned the action of the
Democratic party for its efiorts in at-
tempting to dcmonetize silver; and,
“Whereas, The Republican national
convention of 1892 substantially reiterat-
ed the declaration Of 1888; and,
“Whereas, The question of crystallizing
into -law the utterances of the last two
conventions named and of every utter-
ance heretofore made by the Republican
party of this state recently arose in the
United States senate; and,
“Whereas, Senators Harry M. Teller,
, Fred T. Dubois, Thomas E. Carter, Lee
Mantle and Frank Cannon demanded the
reform of said platform and utterances
under conditions known to all; therefore,
be it
“Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
action Of Senator Dubois in joining with
his associates named in the fearless posi-
tion named in behalf of the free coinage
of silver and protection to American in-
giistry and reciprocity one and insepara-
e. ’
The resolutions then state that the free
coinage of silver would open to the Unit-
ed States the immense trade of China and
Japan and instructs the delegates from
this state to work for a silver man in the
St. Louis convention.
The delegates will be Senator Dubois,
ex—Congressman Sweet, A. B. Campbell
of Shoshone, Lytieton Price of Blaine, M.
B. Cwinn of Canyon and Ben Erichs of
Fremont.
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
The State Committee Declares Emphatic-
ally For the Gold Standard.
NEW YORK, May 18.—The New York
state Republican committee, in session in
the Fifth Avenue hotel, has again declared
absolutely for the single gold standard.
The preamble and resolutions were intro-
duced by Hon. Abraham Gruber, state
oommitteeman for the Fourteenth dis-
trict. They are as follows and were unani-
mously adopted:
“The subject now absorbing the atten-
tion of all classes of our people and over-
shadowing every other issue before the
public is universally acknowledged tO be
the money question. The future prosper-
ity of the country depends upon the deci-
sion which shall be reached by the people
in their coming conventions, in the nomi-
nations to be made by these conventions
and than upon the result of the following
election in November. In a crisis like the
present. when the business of the nation
is at a standstill, awaiting the action of
the political conventions, we hold it the
duty of every political body and the duty
of every man who seeks anomination by a
Advertise in the GAz'uIrII.
competitors for the world’ s commerce, the
standard which now prevails with us and
the only standard by which our currency
of gold, silver and paper money can be
maintained at an equality of purchasing
power, and we are unalterably Opposed to
nng change whatever in this standard ex-
cept by international agreement.”
NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention Declares For Gold,
Silver, Greenbacks and McKinley.
RALEIGH, May 18.—The ticket nomi-
nated by the Republican state convention
is as follows: For senator, Peter C. Pritcho
ard; for governor, Daniel R. Russell, for
attorney general, Z. U. Walser; .for audi-
tor, Ruff Henderson; for justice of the su~
preme court, R. M. Douglass.
The other places were left open in the
hope that the Populists will continue fu-
sion. H. A. Cudger and Oscar J. Spears
were nominated for electors at large.
The delegates at large to the national
convention were instructed for McKinley.
They are Senator Pritohard, James E.
Boyd, GeorgeH. Whiteand ClaudeM. Ber-
hard.
The contest over state chairmanship,
which was very bitter, resulted in a compro-
mise. ‘ Mr. Halton, a Reed man, remains
chairman of the committee, but the entire
management of the campaign is put in
the hands of a campaign committee named
by Senator Pritchard, with R. O. Patter.
son as chairman.
The financial plank reads: “We favor
the use of gold and silver as standard
money and the restoration of silver to its
functions and dignity as a money metal.
We are Opposed to the retiring of the
greenbacks, the money Of the people, the
money favored by Lincoln. We are up
posed to the issue Of interest bearing bonds
in the time of peace. ” And the president
and secretary are criticised for issuing
bonds.
AGNUS IS FOR REED.
And He Says the Entire Maryland Dele-
gation May Turn to the llIaine liIan.
BALTIMORE, May 18. — General Felix
Agnus, editor of the Baltimore American
and a delegate to St. Louis, said in an in-
terview: “We must have a sound money
man. We are for protection, rational pro.
tection, for radical protection would close
our ports, but before that comes sound
money. It is the leading issue, the great
issue. Personally I am for Speaker~Rced.
“The Maryland delegates are not of one
mind. They are all uninstructed. Reed,
Morton, Quay and Allison all have friends,
and, taking these gentlemen as the field,
the delegation stands as follows:
“First district, McKinley 1, field 1;
Second district, field 2; Third district,
McKinley 1, field 1; Fourth district, field
2; Fifth district, field 2; Sixth district,
McKinley 2; delegates at large, McKin-
ley 2: field 2.
“This gives six to McKinley—a liberal
estimate—and ten to the field. I expect
to see a majority of the delegation, if not
the entire delegation, vote for Reed. The
cause of sound money grows stronger ev-
ery day in our state, and Reed grows stron<
ger with it.”
Instructed For McKinley.
CHICAGO, May 18.—D. W. Mills was re-
nominated by the Republicans for con-
gressman in the Fourth district. Joseph
Bidwell and Thomas Shaughnessy wore_
named as delegates to the national con-
vention. A resolution instructing the
delegates for McKinley was adopted by ac-
clamation.
