convention to present the name of Senator
Sherman. He was given a rousing well
come, and he proceeded to put Ohio's
favorite in nomination. He declared in the
opening of his speech that Pennsylvania
did not want Grover Cleveland in the white
house, declaration which was met With
laughter. He proceeded to vouch for
tne repuolicanism of Pennsylvania. and
he boasted of the large majorities
that state had given to Hayes,
Uarneld and Blaine. As the speaker ut
tered this last name, the enthusiasm OF the
convention again found vent in cheers,
ana shouts and uproar The campaign,
continued Gen. Hastings, found the enemy
entrenched in tho seat of power with the
prestige of victory, with the influence Of
the solid south, and with the increasing
democratic appetite tor Office to give it
encouragement But the country was
tired OF sham, double-dealing and
mediocrlty. Applause and laughter He
whom he was about to nominate needed no
introduction. His character. his man
hood and his ilustrious achievements were
part Of the country's history, and he
was man whose name was n tower of
strength, He was man who had never
been defeated for an office for which he
had been nominated. [Applause.I He
should receive the support of every man
who believed that temperance in states
manship was prerequisite to high public
preterment, and that IL was not disquali-
fcation to have actively and honorably
mingled In generation of events more
vital TO liberty and humanity than was ever
crowded into an equal period Of the worlds
history.
Gen. Hastings speech was admirably de-
livered and was listened to with marked
attention. When he had concluded, Gov.
Foraker of Ohio was presented by the Ohio
delegation to second Senator Sherman's
nomination, and ms Gov. Foraker advanced
up one aisle to the platform two of the
sergeant-at-arms came up the other bearing
an enormous floral emblem, surmounted by
floral shield, and upon the face Of this
emblem, In letters formed by red roses on
field OF white roses, were Foraker's now
famous words, 'No battle flags surrendered
while / am governor" Considerable sig.
nifcance appeared to be attached to this
incident by the convention, and
as the governor and the floral
tribute got on TO the stage
together there was thunder OF applause
from all parts OF the hall, but mingled with
it could be heard a volley of Kisses. The
mon bearing the emblem found some diff
Guilty in getting it placed upon the stage,
and while place was being found for it,
the governor waited in some embarrass-
ment until the uproar had subsided. He
evidently had not anticipated the incident.
He then proceeded TO second the nomination
of Mr.. Sherman.
The cheering continued thirteen minutes
after Foraker had concluded. John NJ.
Langston of Virginia took the platform to
second the nomination of Sherman. He
said 100000 negroes ask for Sherman's
nomination.
Dancy Of North Carolina also seconded
Sherman's nomination.
FITLER AND RUsK BRING UP THE REAR.
Charles Emory Smith of PHILADELPHIA
then took the platform TO nominate Mayor
Filter Of Philadelphia. Filters name was
greeted with applause and laughter, which

Senator Spooner rose TO nominate Gov
Rusk Of Wisconsin. Alluding to the dis

wrestle with a cyclone, but 1t was his duty
to attempt IL. The disorder continued.
Spooner's speech and Rusk's name received
very slight applause, except where mention
was made of his attitude toward the an

completed without further speeches, and
the convention than adjourned until IL a.
