could be distinctly heard in every |
portion of the auditorium, Mr.. Me-
Kinley read the declaration of repuh- /
lican principle AS he mentioned
the names of the dead leaders of the
republican party, cheer after cheer
assembled, and his allusion to the liv-
ING hero, Philip I'll. Sheridan, was
received with loud applause. But
these bursts of enthusiasm were as
nothing to the storm of applause and
cheers which broke out when Mr..
Mckinley enunciated the principle
of the republican party in regard to
protection. Every member of the
convention rose to his feet, and many
of the spectators followed the exam
pie. Fans were waved, handkerchiefs
were futtered cheers were given, and
shouts of approval found noisy vent
for fully minute. Mckinley was
unable to continue on account of the
demonstration, which broke out
afresh when the denunciatiOn of the
Mills bill found expression in the
platform.
Following the adoption of the plat
form came the nomination of candi-
dates. On the roll call of states for
this purpose Connecticut presented

wild enthusiasm. Davis of Minneso
ia, Lynch of Mississippi and Mccall

scented Depew and Hartley of Mime
sofa seconded him.
! When the state of Ohio was reach
ed and Gen. Hastings of Pennsylva-
MIA presented John Sherman's name,
there occurred the first great demon
stration of the convention. Dele
gates all over the hall climbed upon
chairs, waved American flags and
shouted at the top of their voices.
The galleries joined in and the APP
plause became rapturous. Some la
dies in the gallery who had bro't
white silk umbrellas trimmed with
small American flags, opened them
and twirled these striking banners
around and around, while the cheers
and shouts increased in volume.
