McKinley and Roosevelt Nomination at National Convention
Republicans nominate William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt by acclamation at Philadelphia, a ticket described as the strongest and a sure winner. Democrats plan to nominate Bryan next Wednesday in Kansas City with an unannounced running mate, while Prohibitionists meet in Chicago amid jokes about agua pura. A Des Moines Capital writer credits Lafe Young for shaping Republican momentum, and clarifies Hanna opposed Roosevelt, not Dolliver, noting the masses drove the nomination. A revival of Durrant case rumors is debunked, confirming Rev Gibson alive, no confession, and Durrant’s guilt remains as in the court record.
