son the nominee of the republican party
for president, was made known there was
tremendous applause and
THE GREAT AUDIENCE AROSE
to their feet and shouted until they were
entirely out of breath. One OF the officers
OF the convent IN climbed on the chair
mans desk and waved banner bearing
the portrait of Harrison.
HATS WERE THROWN Up
and q scene of enthusiasm followed. Cries
of Hes all right, were heard in the din.
Finally, with three cheers for Harrison,
the convention became quiet enough to
hear the official announcement OF the
result.
Governor Foraker then took the platform
amid enthusiastic cheers, and said
"Gentlemen OF the conventions The del.
egation from Ohio came hare all Sherman
men, they are now all Harrison men. 1t
is easier for us to be so when we remsm Der
that General Harrison had the good sense
to be born in Ohio (Applause.)
am directed by the unanimous vote of
the Ohio delegation to move the conven-
ton, in behalf of the state of Ohio, that the
nomination of Benjamin Harrison be made
Hoar, OF Michigan, General Hastings on
behalf Of Pennsylvania, and Senator Far
well on behalf of Illinois, seconded the
motion.
Depew was called for and upon ascend
ing the platform said

fectly willing to accede tn it because it is
the experience of national election that
when an Ohio man is nominated
HE ALWAYS WINS.
This convention will adjourn in different
temper from any that has been held in "a
quarter of II century. No candidate before
this convention expected to succeed and no
one is disappointed. We go away without
any heart burnings, but AS full OF cnthusi-
asn as we came, for whatever the result
might'be it is bound to be good for New
York. New York Is the metropolitan city
of this Union and men from other states,
rs soon AZ they get too big for tt cir own
commonwealth, come to New York
Laughter). And when New York finds a
man too large for his own common wealth
and who don't move, she adopts him.
(Laughter).
SHE ADOPTED BENJAMIN HARRISON
and voted for him solid and YOU concurred
in her views. The voice of New York and
the votes of this convention will be the
voice of the American people next Nov.
s,mber. (Cheers) You don't want long
speech. You don't want a statement of
principles. You don't want anything ex-
copt to feel in unity and SYM pathy with
that ent husiasm going from this conven-
ton and resounding IN every part ot the
country-a sympathy which, like the
beats and throbs OF the heart, which sends
blood everywhere throughout the system,
will come back again in one of the old.time
victories for republicanism and Tor repub-
lican principles-ior the salvation of the
industrial interests of the country, headed
by soldier, General Harrison.
When Wyoming's vote was taken, every
one knew that Harrison had been nomi- |
mated and without waiting for the formal
announcement of the vote, the convention
and the audience jumped up to make the
customary demonstration. General Har.
rison starts out on his preside ntial journey
without the frantic enthusiasm in the con
vention, which has characterized most
presidential nominations of late years, but
he has nothing to complain of in the
heartiness of the cheers which followed the
knowledge of his nomination to-day.
From all parts Of the ball sprang into
view national flags, umbrellas constructed
Of red, white and blue muslin, immense
fans OF various colors and streamers of all
kinds and descriptions. The great band

upon which was inscribed in gold letters,
"oHIcAGo LEADS TO WIN"
John s. Wise, of Virginia exercised his
muscular powers in waving an immense
yellow fan on which was inscribed in large
letters, Harrison
Chauncey M. Depew exhibited his en-
thusiasin will, large American flag, and
wide open mouth, shouting for the nominee
OF the convention.
While the enthusiasm was at its height a
floral horse shoe, six feet high, surmounted
by a star composed of red, white and blue
flowers, was borne to the platform and
confronted the convention with this motto
In red, upon back ground of immortelles,
THE ladies Of Chicago to The California
ueiegaton.' In the center OF the floral star,
surmounting the horse shoe. were the let.
