National Committee settles Alabama cases for McKinley
In St Louis on June 11 the national committee largely backed McKinley, seating McKinley delegates and rejecting opposition. Manley of Maine said McKinley will win on the first ballot, while Reed’s backers fear loss. Contests involved all Alabama delegates and most districts, resolved mainly in McKinley’s favor. Discrimination against colored delegates sparked protests at hotels and mixed reactions from Mopkins and Morton supporters.
