Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 25.-The cries for
Wise were continued for some time, but
finally the chairman restored order and
the secretary read the dispatch as fol-
lows:
Detroit, Mich, June 25, 1sss.-Hon. Nor
ris NJ. Estee, Chairman of the Republican
National Convention: Please convey to the
delegates who have so Loyalty supported nv
candidacy my heartfelt thanks. No state or
man will give the gallant gentleman who has
won the fight heartier support than Michigan
and myself. RUSSELL A. ALGER.
[Cheers and cries of ''He's all right.n
started by the clerk at the conclusion
of the reading of the dispatch.1 AS
soon as these cries began to subside
there were cries for various other speak
ers, and several delegates rose to adj
dress the chair.
"Gentlemen of the convention -.
shouted Chairman Estee. twill you all
be quiet. This is love feast, and you
are all
GOING TO HAVE A SHOW"
Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, came forward
amid great enthusiasm, and, after wait
ing until comparative quiet was OBJ
tanned. addressed the convention as fol-
lows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:
1t would be strange, indeed, if Virginia
were silent when the name of Harrison
was in the forefront. l have heard the
distinguished representative of Ohio
speak of his being born there, and
heard him claimed for. Indiana
but it was Virginia reclaimed Ohio
under the name of Harrison and found
ed KaskaSllia and Vincennes, still under
the name of Harrison, in Indiana. Two
hundred and fifty years ago that rich
and glorious blood was planted on Vir-
ginia's shore, and, spreading out, it has
enriched wherever it has gone. In every
state the name is the type and
synonym of q gentleman; [Applause.
Whether for North or for South, where
ever Harrison sword was drawn honor
was at its side and bravery pressed it
forward. On the deep streams of Vir-
ginia, where many a gallant Union
soldier here has slept in days gone by,
he will remember that those broad acres
were patented to the Harrisons. On
the old battle field when the Northern
SOLDIERS FEvERED BROW
was cooled by the hand of woman, many
a time and oft the tear that fell upon
MIN III tnaG strange land, fell from the
eye of a gentle, tender Harrison, and
when we carry that name back to old
Virginia not all the narrowness, not all
the bigotry. not all the old and dead
passions of the past can keep the peo-
pie of Virginia from electing
Harrison. Tremendous enthusiasm.
A word more and l have done.
Four weeks have gone and the Demo-
cratic press has been putting up the
horse that was to run this race. They
have had him long in fetlock, coarse in
blood, to much to leapers of their party.
! lLaughter.] But the horse that was t !,
be led forth by our party has been
blanketed. Curiosity has been eX-
erted to see him, and now
when his coverings are stripped
he stands with cleaning eve
and pointed ear; with curving neck and
rounding barrel; with bending pastern
and capped hoof and every indication
that they shall hgve their race and
THE VIRGINIA THOROUGHBRED
shall be put against the Conestoga. y
fGreat laughter and applause.l A nearly
unanimous roar went up for Malone
Some of the Virginia delegates grabbed
