McAlpin The story comes from sources which are absolutely trustworthy that Adjt.-Gen. McAlpin, of Gov. Morton’s staff, is a candidate for the nomination as vice-president of the United States, and that he has been secretly negotiating with Maj. McKinley’s managers to get second place on the ticket with McKinley. Gen. McAlpin is young and rich. His father was a famous tobacco manufacturer, and the son inherited his business and his wealth.
