' Cleveland, ()., June' lit ? There was nothing exciting al*>ut the last hours of the eighth annual convention of tho Na t Ion a 1 I /-ague of Republican clubs. Tho resolutions, which have been public property for some time, wore adopted without preface to their introduction. No roll call wns had on their adoption and a lusty chorua of yeas against oihj or (wo resolutions showed that it was almost the unanimous sentiment of the convention that it had no power to pro claim its preference for gold or silver, for protection or free trade, or for any Presidential candidate who is pushing Ids clainiM for recognition before the nominating convention of the parly to be held in 180(1. The most conservative party men who came hero think thy* innovation Is a wine one. The silver men are satisfied with the outcome, and decided before the day's session began to make no outcry. They were fully heard in committee and assert that the result shows a senti ment in fnvnr of bimetallism that will spread to, the national convention next year. The more radical ones hope for free silver, but all would"J>e more than pleaded with any sort of a plank which favors tho white metal whether that plank fixes their favorite ratio or not. Once in the^datform they believe the double Htauda would rapid'.y gain in fa vor . There was no discordant voice in the big gathering, which dissolved today a little after noon. Many sacrifices were made for the sake of harmony, anil it appeared to be the wish of the hotly that it should go on record before the world as united on all points at issue, whatever differences might exist beneath the surface. With the exception of the 1(5 to 1 men the speakers were very cau tious in expressing a decided prefer enc(? on the currency question. None of t lie Presidential candidates came to the convention. Mr. McKinloy arrived tonight after everything was over, lie was met at the depot by the leading Republican clubs of the city and enthusiastically welcomed. Most of the delegates had returned to their homes, but those who remained were introduced, shook hands and chatted a while with the famous Ohionn, who held a recep tion In the corridors of the Ilollenden Ilotci. Chaunecy Depew was expected up to the last moment but he excused him self on the ground of other engagements. Thomas Tt. Heed was invited, but de clined, and Senator Allison did tho same. Maine was one of three States nof of ficially represented at the convention, ami the enemies of Mr. Reed are point ing to this fact with much glee. Tho other two States were New Hampshire and North Carolina, which were, how ever, unofficially represented. With CJen. MeAlpin, as president, and IT. J. Howl ing, of Minnesota, as secretary, the del egates feel that they have elected officers with a view to the best results in th?? work required next year. No treasurer was ebo?t'n. His selection will be left to the executive committee. An excursion on the lake tldh after noon ended the festivities provided by the local clubs for the delegates.

Just before tho hour for closlug Inst night, Cashier Johnson was standing within tho bank railing, when suddenly two masked men nplieaml and rushed behind tho counter with drawn revolvers. Tho o'ashler made a jump for his gun, but before he could move a foot ho was felled to the floor with a club by one of the robbers, while the other burglar lassoed tho teller with a rope and threw him to tho floor, where he was bound and gagged. Cashier Johnson, after falling to the floor, made ft desperato struggglo and was shot at twice by his assailants, l?oth balls going wild. The second robber, after disposing of the teller, came to the assistance of his '?oinpftnlon and struck the cashier several heavy blow^on the head with the butt of his revolver. One of the blows ren dered Johnson unconscious, and when he regained his senses he found himself bound hand and foot and lying under the counter. Several people outside the bank had been attriicted by the shots tired, but this did not deter the robbers, who locked the front doors and proceed ed to loot the ytitnlt. The inside door of the vault was locked. The robbers dc ?intnded the key from the cashier, and as he refused, gave him several kicks in the side. My this time a crowd bad collected outside. The men hurriedly filled the front part of tho vault door with pow der and touched It off, blowing, the ! doors off, nnd throwing things pro miscuously to the floor. The rest was easy work. In tho open safe within the vault were packages of bills, and (jiiftiifitios of silver, amounting In alt to over $30,000. The burglars stuffed their booty In tings brought for the purpose, nnd opening tho front dooi charged through the crowd assem tiled. The boldness and suddenness of thft deed 'staggered the onlookers, and tho fleeing men were a block away be* fore anyone seemed to realize what had happened. They turned a corner, and suddenly seemed to bo swuftlowed up. Ky tho time tho crowd had gath erod Its senses and started In pursuit tho burglars wore nowhere to be seen. A niissc was at once formed and i? ny<v in pursuit, and the men they aro after will doubtless be shot on sight If caught. Telegrnms hnve been sent in every di rection. giving a description of tho men. It is believed that they have headed for hake Superior to board some passing steamer. The bank cashier was very painfully bruised and will lie somewhat disfigured "for several days to come, but his wounds nro not serious. The inten tion was evidently to kill him. For some dayfc several strange and suspicious looking men hnve boon hang ing around the ./own, nnd it is believed thnt the two who did the work are part of an organized gang. *as all have sud denly disappeared. At a small boarding house on tho outskirts of the town it is learned thnt shortly after the robbery of the bank was commenced a wagon was seen going at breakneck speed and containing fivo rough looking mo.y. This robbery is the first of the kind that the cj>y ever oxjierioneod and the excitement is intense. More search in a parties nro hcidfyt formed.
