enthusiasm.l
1t was at this point, while Governor
Foraker was taking his seat that tht
great demonstration occurred.
The scene following Foraker's nomi
nation Of sherman has only been equal
led in the history OF national conven
tions probably in the outburst following
the nomination OF CLEVELAND by DAME
DOughcrty at st. Louis, In one respect
it certainly surpassed that, for it camC
totally unexpected Foraker's cOnclu
sion was somewhat abrupt and III,
cheers that followed were from his
friends and in the nature OF persona
compliment. Then the convention real
lied in one instant apparently, as i
never realized before,
WHAT A HOLD SHERMAN HAD
on the convention and the country. A
tremendous shout went up. The ban
ners in the dome trembled, and i
seemed as though the galleries wouIt
fall under the wild mass OF spectators
The uncxamplcd continuance OF the
demonstration starting so suddenly rcn,
dcrcd the whole doubiy marve
even to those who participated mos
enthusiastically. After the excitement
was in Il measure ut IN end the Hon
John NJ. I.0ngston, OF Virginia, nd
dressed the convention in favor OF Sher
man.
When the applause had subsidized NJ
Arson, OF North Carolina, placed Mayor
Filter, OF Philadelphia, in nomination
His remarks throughout were grcetcC
with laughter aRA mingled with erie
"Sit down." Time" &c. He was fol
lowed by Senator Spooner, OF Wisconsin
who placed Governor Rusk's name il
nomination with fitting speech. III
was Literally applauded from every part
OF the hall.
The chairman declared that Governor
Rusk had been placed in nomination
and asked ii there was any second. N
response came from any one OH thu
floor. The secretary called the remain
derof the roll, hut there were no further
speeches made.
This ends the roll CALL" said the
chairman, and at 1926 o'clock the Con
vention adjourned until II o'clock to
morrow.
