In burst of laughter.
Patrick Egan seconded the nominationlof
Ager:
There being no further seconds of Aleer,
the roll of states was continued. When New
York was reached Mr.. Hiscock assembled the
platform and presented the name of Chaun-
cey M: Depew in nomination. That name,
he said, would be an inspiration to the
country. His name was dear to all repub-
icans. His counsel had led them and
would guide them. True he was
the president OF great railroad corpora
ton, and there was not farmer, freighter,
mechanic, a common laborer in New
York, who would vote against him for that?
In conclusion Senator Hiscock formally
presented the name Of Chauncey NJ. Depew
as the choice of New York.
Senator Hiscock was frequently applaud
ed, the New York delegation giving the cue
to the convention. As he closed, every man
from New York rose and gave three cheers
for her favorite son, and the cheers were
echoed back from the galleries with interest.
Mr.. Hartley, of Minnesota, was recog-
nized, and mounting the platform he said:
Minnesota seconds the name of Chauncey
NJ. Depew. Nominate the great man Of
New York and don't be afraid of the
CHANGERS OF THE NORTHWEST.
Minnesota will give Depew $4,000 majority.
The speaker said that he came from the
greatest granger district in the northwest,
and it would give Depew IL, 900 majority.
When the state of
OHIO WAS CALLED
the first really great demonstration of the
convention was made. Delegates all over
the hall climbed upon chairs, waved Ameri-
can flags and shouted at the top their voices.
The galleries joined in and the applause be-
came rapturous. Some ladies in the galleries
who had brought white silk umbrellas trim
med with small American flags
opened them and twirled these strik-
ing banners around and around,
while the cheers and shouts increased
in volume. The scene cont inued for some
time and was not even equalled by the one
which soon followed when General Hastings,
of Pennsylvania in presenting the name of
Sherman incidentally referred to Blaine.
When this demonstration came to an end
the Ohio delegation gave way to Pennsylva-
mia and Adjutant General Hastings was pre-
sented to the convention to present the
name of Senator Sherman.
General Hastings speech was admirably
delivered and was listened to with marked
attention. When he had concluded
GOVERNOR FORAKER, OF OHIO,
was presented by the Ohio delegation to
second Senator Sherman's nomination.
Mr.. Sherman's nomination was also sec
onded by Mr.. Arson, of North Carolina, and
by John M. Langston, of Virginia. Mr..
Smith, of Pennsylvania, presented the name
of Mayor Filter, of Philadelphia. Sena-
tor Spooner made an eloquent speech
Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin,
but there was no second. The call of states
having been completed, the convention
then, at 7:20 p. m, on motion of Mr.. Miller,
of New York, adjourned until IL o'clock to-
morrow.
