When the storm has passed and the hour

from which they measure all terrestrial

Gentlemen of the convention, your

He would agree. with the President, how

examination, it should appear thst any

The object of the tariff laws was to en-
courage home manufacturers in competi-
tion with foreign rivals, as well as TO So
cure revsEue; and, therefore, these laws
should be as perBanent as possible. con-
sistept with the needs Of the government.
American citizens were encouraged to IN
vest their money IL expensive machinery
end buildings; but they had No special
privileges, no monopoly. All TIE world
might, in this country, enter into eompeti-
ton with them. The Presidents, however
seemed TO think that they were public enc
mics. To chase away the successful msnu-
facturer BY a change OF duties was to legis-
late for the foreigner snd against the Ameri-
can citizen.
The pnest important benefits conferred
by the tariff laws was that they not only
diversded American Industries, but secured
to tue laborer employed Ia manufactures
higher wages and better surroundings and
advantages than were enjoyed by lsborers

The quantity and quality OF food Of labor

to his wealth and his free and easy way of
spending it.
Sherman's name received decidedly the
best presentation of ALL
Juoge Hastings of Pennsylvania, who
put him In nomination, is an excellent
speaker, with fine command of language,
COCO presence and an effective style.
He was followed by Gov. Foraker, who
made the best speech of the day, meas
ured by its effect upon the audience.
AS Foraker took the stand an immense
floral design bearing the legend, "Norebel
flags shall be returned while am COVER
nor" was borne to the platform. He at
fected some annoyance at this, but
there is no doubt that this highly theat-
rical episode had been arranged with his
full knowledge and consent. Foraker is
a capital speaker, quick, ready and vigor-
Gus, and however badly his speeches may
read, they certainly sound well If
one does not mind the sentiment.
Foraker made some capital hits at the ex-
pense of the other candidates, especially
OF Alger, Depew and Gresham. His pane
gyric upon Sherman, if not sincere, was
certainly extravagant enough to satisfy
the most exacting partisan of the Ohio
statesman.
The liveliest demonstration of the day
followed Foraker's remarks, but how
much of it was intended for the orator
and how much for his candidate, is hard
to say.
Senator Spooner's presentation of
Jerry Rusk's name was made under
great difficulties as the conven-
ton was thoroughly tired out, and
had just been severed worn by Charles
Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press,
who had unloaded the preposterous
Filter boom in long speech, which served
no purpose except to show how big an ass
a bright man make of himself when
he sets about it. SpOoner's harangue,
which the convention refused to listen to,
ended the circus, and when the adjourn
ment was taken pretty much everybody
who had been exposed to the fusilade
was reduced to the verge of imbeeility. 1t
was field-day for the yawpers but sad
one for their victims.

Two Ballots Taken and Then an Adjourn
ment to Monday Follows.
CHICAGO, June 23.-To-night did not see
in nomination a republican presidential
candidate. Ten thousand people in the
national convention did see the manifest
action ever witnessed in an American
public assemblage. The man who was
equal to the moment is William McKin-
ley of Ohio. 1t was almost at the instant
when the convention opened. Scattering
votes had been cast for Mckinley the day
previous. The first roll-call began now
with one for him from Connecticut. A
subdued buzz went over the vast audience.
Gle is winner" came from all sides
Then there was hush. Then thousand
pairs of eyes bent toward the Ohio dele
gates. Among them in the exact center of
the great, brilliant thronged hall, rising
above the groups of log-rollers about,
could be seen the dark-eyed, pale, firm
face every person present had come to
know so well. Almost any other man
living would have been conspicuously or
unconsciously theatrical. Mckinley
simply stepped upon his chair, in his own
place, and quietly spoke to the delegates
His voice reached the galleries, as few
others have done. No syllable was sent
there now, no gesture, no elocution. He
said briefly and Enthusiastically that any
vote for him would be dishoner The
delegates and the people were prepared
for strong, earnest protest, all that
could be asked from any man. They were
not prepared for sincerely absolute. APP
plause was not lacking, but disappoint-
ment was so keen, even though smOthered
in admiration, that enthusiasm was for
the moment impossible.

The result was received with no sign
from the convention as TO what impress
sion had been made.
Before a second ballot was taken, Mr..
Smith of Pennsylvania, who had yester-
day nominated Edwin II. Filter, withdrew
his name. This episode made no stir
whatever in the convention and the with
drawal was made in so low tone of voice
that it was not known that Mr.. Filter was
out OF the race until the chair made the
announcement himself.
The second ballot was them proceeded
with. During the announcement of the
votes the convention was more sedate
than it has been at any time during its
sessions. The spectators and delegates
were too much interested in noting the
changes from the previous ballot to make
a noise or indulge in any demonstration.
Senator Quay had evidently done good
work among the Pennsylvania delegates
last night. Sherman gained "a votes from
that state, most of them being the votes
which on the first ballot had been cast for
Mr. Filter This was the most important
event of the ballot and considerably
elated the Sherman men, who had been
disappointed at the vote for their favorite
on the first ballot. The second ballot was

men were knocked to the floor. Policemen
in vain tried to force their way through
the dense crowd, but before they reached
the combatants the struggle was over. In
revenge, two Gresham men climbed up
and fixed their favorite's picture on the
highest points of the pillars and left them
there. Such a scene was never known in
Chicago before.

Of the clubs had to shout for their favorite
candidates, and they made the most of it.
The Alger club paraded, the Sherman
forces were out, and the Gresham clubs

torch lights. The principal Gresham
demonstration was composed of a large
number of workingmen, armed with tin

WOULD Rather BE LOVED.
Women Prefer Mans Affection and Sup
port to the Ballot.
Nav Xork

New York SUM-
On Thursday a paper by Mrs. Nellie
Cooke Coon was read before the anthropo-
logical congress. Its subject was "Wo-
mans Social Position, but more suggest
i've than anything else she wrote was the
name of the writer as signed by herself 70
the ambitious essay.
Mrs. Coon's name is either Helen or
Ellen, for it is not probable that she was
baptized by a nursery appellation like
Nellie; and yet the diminutive seems to
her so much prettier and more feminine,
so much more attractive of affectionate
regard, that, even as a married woman
discussing a profound subject in grave
and important congress, she asks to be
called Nellie.
Now, that little incident goes far to ex-
plain why women are not voting atgeneral
elections, as Nellie would have them do
She says that the time is not far distant
when that privilege will be granted; but
surely its coming will be delayed until
women are regarded as serious political
factors to whom the application of baby
names, suggestive of weakness and de-
pendence, seems altogether incongruous
and impertinent. When they become
citizens, charged with all the duties and
responsibilities of citizenship, and when
they enter fully into competition with
men in the rough and tumble of life, they
must, of course, put away childish things
and whatever implies that they cannot
stand alone and hold their own in the
contest.
So far, women seem to feel that they
have better chance under the present
order of things, when they appeal to men
for protection, instead of undertaking to
look out for themselves. Already they
have obtained from men much more than
they asked for, or knew would be advan-
tageous to them, and they understand
very well that they have only to intimate
desire for the franchise to get it forth
with. But they do not demand it, because
they do not want it. They feel that they
are safer under the rule of men than they
would be under the rule of women, which
would come with woman's suffrage; and
the aim OF every one Of them not already
in a state of subsection is to be dependent
on the strength of a man. Woman's sui
frage gets little support from woman, but
they are unanimous for marriage and for
the tender regard of men.
Even Mrs. Coon herself indicates by her
adoption of a nursery name, suggestive OF
an appeal to affection and soft and gentle
care, that she had rather be loved and
petted than go to the polls.

sarily loud calling of the roll clerk. New
Jersey, Mckinley A." That settled it. At
that moment, in the Utmost hearts of the
great majority of delegates and audience,
the unanimous choice of the convention
it was felt would be the brilliant protec-
zionist congressman and gallant soldier,
Mckinley of Ohio. Again the ballot pro-
ceeded. New York, amid intense excite
ment, threw the bulk of her vote
for Harrison as against a granger
candidate or a possible dark horse.
1t was the very anthithesis of the McKin-
ley scene. Chauncey NJ. Depew, whose
graceful and supposedly magnanimous
withdrawal as a candidate had been caus-
ing great revulsion in his favor, was now
seen 10 be, surely, as rumOred, unable to
resist the temptation to thwart those by
whom he had been thwarted. There was
some loud cheering over the announce
ment of New York's vote, but the friends
OF Harrison were not elated. 1t began to
be whispered that New York would, when
the pinch came, be virtually solid for
Blaine.
The battle was seen to lie, unless all APP
pearances were deceitful, between Blaine
and Mckinley. Each gained as the bal
loting went on. Later, after the conven-
ton assembled after recess, ninety-nine
hundredths OF the eager thousands pres
ent believed that before the sun went
down one of the two men would be
named. When an evidently cut and
dried adjournment until Monday inter
vened, the thousands could not under
stand. They remained waiting till the
vast hall was LETT in darkness.
The convention met this morning with
the usual rumors of combinations flying
through the air as thick as black birds.
Everybody was asking his neighbor what
he knew and imparting his own
exclusive tip to meet any unfav-
orable news he may hear from 9TH
