McKinley and Hobart Nominees for Republican Ticket
The Republican convention nominated William McKinley of Ohio for president and Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey for vice president after a dramatic day. Delegates from the west bolted in protest over the gold standard, but McKinley's victory drew 661 1 4 votes, nearly three times the sum for his five opponents, and Hobart won on the first ballot.
