SAN FRANCISCO, July 11. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
The National Conventions for nomination of candidates for the President and Vice-President have been events of much importance to the country during the past three weeks. The Republican Convention met in Philadelphia, and nominated William McKinley for President and Theodore Roosevelt for Vice-President. Great unanimity was shown in the convention, as it had long ago been practically settled that the man who had presided over the destinies of the nation during the Spanish war should be endorsed by the party and rewarded by another term of office. The wonderful confidence that they will reelect him is displayed by Republicans throughout the country.
The nomination of William Jennings Bryan for President by the Democratic Convention, assembled at Kansas City, followed with Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, for Vice-President, and now the two parties stand,arrayed against each other on the eve of what promises to be the most important battle in the recent history of the nation, involving as it does the great question of expansion, which Democrats contend is against the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine.
