McKinley Backed by Mass GOP Delegates in Nominating Fight
Massachusetts Republicans elect Lodge McCall Plunkett and Walter Clifford as national convention delegates in Philadelphia.

The era’s party alignments feature McKinley-Hanna dominance and calls for reform measures amid vivid campaign rhetoric.
