Agreement Reached in Nebraska Between Their Friends.
Omaha, Neb., March 20.—After an animated conference which lasted all day, an agreement was reached between the Manderson and McKinley delegation to the Republican National Convention. In return for this cession, the McKinley people bind themselves to present the name of Gen. Manderson to the Convention unless in their judgment it is apparent that McKinley will be nominated. The conference took place at 11 o'clock this morning. It was attended by Republicans of both sides. The McKinley side issued this proclamation:
"It is understood between the persons representing Hon. Charles Manderson and the committee acting as friends and supporters of Hon. Wm. McKinley and in the behalf of the McKinley club, that the delegation from Nebraska to the National convention shall be composed of sixteen original McKinley men, and that the Manderson headquarters will be closed."
The following resolution will be adopted by the State convention:
"Resolved, That the name of Hon. Chas. F. Manderson be formally presented to the convention as a candidate unless in the judgment of the Nebraska delegation, at the assembling of the convention, it is apparent that McKinley will be nominated for President."
As a result of this agreement the Manderson men are to make no further contention. The delegation to St. Louis is to be composed of avowed McKinley men. The Manderson headquarters have been closed.
Manderson's many friends in Nebraska are not disposed to believe that McKinley will be the choice of the convention.
