said:
John Sherman belongs to family of lead
ers. He is brother Of that grand old hero

the blue, who once split the Jeff Davis wing
of the Democratic party wide open, when he
marched in triumph from Atlanta to the sea.
IApplausel Put your banner into the hands
OF. John Sherman and let him do a similar
job for you. He will not only carry it TO
victory, but he will give the country the benz

mot certainly by a resort to such pusillan-
imous methods as those known under the
name and guise of offensive partisanship-
not, either, by a cowardly assassination OF
individual character, the method that seems
50 dear TO over righteous Mugwump friends,
but he will do it in manly, courageous way,
demonstrating our power by Republican
agencies according to Republican principles.
He will uphold the pledge with which we
commenced our platform, namely, that the
Constitution and the laws of this country
shall be enforced everywhere throug ghout our
borders

Yes, even in South Carolina We areiiust
aching up in Ohio to get a man into the
Presidential chair who will have character
enough to vindicate the rights of the Repub-

country of every State, and they said that it
should be our banner in the approaching
campaign as the offset to the old band inna.
1t was now that there began the cheer
ing which carried the Convention into
a scene Of unbounded enthusiasm. Mrs.
Foraker, who had been beaming from
the gallery upon her handsome husband,
spread her sunshade with its decking of
flags, and her lady friend spread its
counterpart. Excepting those of New
York the Delegates were nearly all upon

one mass of people after another in the
galleries rose to their feet, and they, too,
brandished, waved, and flung whatever
they carried in their hands, and all the

the whistling and catcalling, the wild
and unrestrained extravagances of noise
welled out of the throats of the seven
thousand people deafening themselves.
When the cheering had been going
on eight minutes, Chairman Estee fell to
rapping the multitude to order. He
only maddened them. They set about
to rebuke him by making twice as
much NOISE. 1t was as if men who had
sat down tired rose up and recommended
their fiendish shrieks Women who had
taken no part in the uproar yelled their
loudest. The people on the second gal.

"A SONG AMID THE TUMULT.
Through the Babel and the tumult a
faint but growing semblance of the
regular time became perceptible. 1t was
unshaped and vague as though one heard
the sound OF a fife and drum corps
through heavy cannonading. The tumult
of discordant sounds was many times

strain grew more and more distinct until
lit became evident that hundreds of
throats were joining in song. A
minute passed and the rythm and swing
of the song became more pronounced,
yet it was still impossible to tell the ma
ture of the song. In another thirty sec

and now one could begin to distinguish
a glad old refrain and the words that &C.
companied it: "Hurrah Hurrah the
flag that set US free" Finally, by slow
degrees, the singing dominated the ap.
plause, and more than half the people in
the enormous house had changed theii
plaudits into massive, powerful, mas
culine chorus, and were singing the ma
tional ballad that celebrates SheTman's
triumphal march through Georgia.
1t was beautiful beyond description
Only those who have heard $500 mer

After the singing had died away th'
cheering was continued, and thirteeI

Then Delegates Langston, of Virginia
