CANDIDATES ARE NAMED, McKinWy and Roosevelt Are Leaders for the Republican Party, PHILADELPHIA, June 22.—McKin ley was nominated by acclamation at 12:44. The roll was called and each state voted for McKinley all the wTay down the roll. 1:59 p. m.—Roosevelt unanimously nominated for vice president., The convention adjourned sine die at 2:24 p. m. PHILADELPHIA, June 22.—Presi dent McKinley was unanimously re nominated for president of the United States by the republican national con vention at 2:44 o’clock yesterday and an hour and ten minutes later Gov ernor Roosevelt of New York was unanimously selected to stand beside him in the coming battle. The scenes attending the selection were tumultuous. Such unanimous demonstrations in honor of the nomi nee of a national convention have not been equalled perhaps in the history of politics in this country. It was a love feast, a jubilee, a ratification meeting. Chairman Lodge’s announcement that Governor Roosevelt had been nominated for vice president evoked a burBt of applause that fairly shook the great steel-girdled building to its foundation. This closed the final business and at 2:24, on motion of Mr. Sereno E. Payne of New York, the repubican na tional convention of 1900 adjourned sine die.

To Whom It May Concern:—Especi ally to those who are desirous of ob taining health and wealth for them selves and families, I wish to state a few facts in regard to the Canadian North-west, where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie on May 2nd, 1899, for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate ticket for Ft. McLeod, Al berta. Through Manitoba and part of Asslniboia the farmers were busy em ployed ploughing and seeding. I found the farmers very kind gnd friendly, willing to talk and assist in giving me the particulars of the coun try. At McLeod I Bpent a few days looking over some ranchers* stock, which I was surprised to see looking so well; they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw in Michigan, even those that had been stabled, and most of these had never seen the in side of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as I was also looking for mixed farm land I found McLeod no place for me, it is only fit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to "Winni peg, I stopped off at Lethbridge, where I found some of the greatest horse ranches I ever had the pleasure of looking at. It is a fine level country, and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat, which is located in a valley, there were lots of sheep, cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well. On July 14th I went to Regina, there I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance, and the crops looking re markably well, and as long as daylight lasted 1 saw the same all along the line and on the 15th day of July I ar rived in Winnipeg, just in time for the exhibition. There I met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the world’s records, for as soon as I en tered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, all in motion, and the cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my expec tation, in fact it was beyond any in dustrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a dis tance of 250 miles, it is all good for mixed farming, and well settled, with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain, just coming into head, would take a man to the waist, and the wild fruit along the line was good, rich and in great quantities, from Saskatoon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river, to Prince Al bert on the north branch of the same river, is one of the best farming dis tricts without any doubt that ever laid face to the sun, and everything to be found there, that is necessary to make life comfortable, all that is required is labor. There is lots of wood, good water, and abundant bay land, and the climate is excellent. Prince Albert is a flourishing little place, situated on the north Sas katchewan river, having a population of about 1,800, with good street and sidewalks and churches of nearly every denomination, three school houses, and another one to be built at once, also a brewery and a creamery. Here I stayed for about four months, working at my trade of bricklaying, and met with farmers and ranchers with whom I made it my special busi ness to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out in the country while crops were in full bloom, and I may say that I never saw better crops in all my travels than I saw along the valley to wards Stoney Creek and Carrot River. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and black, and as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market The soil in and around this district cannot be beaten for anything you may wish to grow, and besides the season is long, giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture and hay land, and plenty of water wherever you go. The country is dotted all around like islands with timber lit for fuel and building purposes and within a day’s walk of lumbering woods, where lumbering and tie making Is carried on in winter. Both large and small game is plentiful. There are two good saw mills In this district, with a good supply of all grades of lumber all the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reason able price. Clothing and living are no higher than I And in Michigan, and furthermore I wish to say that there is a great demand for laboring men all the year round and good wages rang ing from |1.75 to $2.00 per day, and from $25.00 to $35.00 per month with board. I wish to say that I am perfectly sat isfied with the country and 1 intend to return to Prince Albert early in the spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can go there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family, and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall, desires more information, please write to me and I will freely give them my best opinion. I am writ ing this for the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friendB. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home, I remain Your humble servant, (Signed) WILLIAM PAYNE.
