McKinley Indorsed by Illinois Republicans in State Convention
In Springfield on May 1 the Illinois Republican convention voted 134 to 1335 with a 32 vote margin to instruct four delegates at large to back Willam McKinley of Ohio at St Louis. The move defeats Senator Cullom and Chicago interests and names the state ticket. Electors chosen and a platform endorses honest money, protection, and tariff reform while favoring silver under strict parity with gold. The delegation’s actions align with McKinley’s national support and reinforce Republican leadership for years.
