ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS


: Governor Foraker then took the plai
form amid
ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS
: and said: "Gentlemen of the Csnyer

rected by the unanimous vote OF tn
Ohio delegation to move the convention
on behalf Of the State OF Ohio, that thC
nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harrison
be made unanimous" Applause.
Mr.. Horr, of Michigan, seconded Gov
ernor Eoraker's motion. He hoped tina
the convention would be unanimous
but We will stand by Harrison Just III

people do not think that he knew every
thing, but think that l can see

in this nomination. We hoped to place

have done it; now let US go home ant
ratify it.
Senator Farwell, on behalf OF Illinois
also seconded the motion Of Gov. For
aker. This Convention would adjourn
in u different temper from any otheI
convention in aquarter OF a century
No candidate before the Convention ex
pected to succeed, and no one was disap
pointed. The candidate would go away
without heart-burnings, but full OF en-
thusiasm US they were when they came
here.
Mr.. Depew, on behalf OF New York,
also spoke. New York was the eosmo'
politan State OF the Union. Men Of
other States, whenever they got too big
for their own commonwealth, went to
New York, and when New York found
Il man too large for his own common
wealth and he would not move she
adopted him. New York had adopted
Ben jamin Harrison and voted for him
solidly. [Applause.l
In conclusion, Mr.. Depew predicted
an
oLD.TIME VICTORY
for RepubliCanism, for Republican prln'
ciplcs and for the salvation OF the indus
trial interests Of the country. Zap
plause.
General Hastings, OF Pennsylvania,
said that he was Rso authorized to sec
ond the motion TO make the nomination
unanimous. He said he had 100000
majority for any candidate, and it has
that, and perhaps more for Harrison.
Mr.. Henderson, OF Iowa, also seconded
the motion. He was sorry now for the
quill drivers in the Democratic sanctum.
They could find
NO WEAK PLACR
in Harrison'a record no stain upon his
character. He was a quiet man who
would measure up to the full dignity OF
the occasion. Iowa sent him to say that
that great Republican State will stand
now lirmer than ever at the bead OF the
Republican column.
Mr.. Boutelle, OF Maine, gave assurance
OF the heartiness, cordiality and enthu-
siasm with which the people OF Maine
would ratify Gen. Benz. Harrison. He
promised that rhe old refrain would
come down from Maine as it did in days
gone by, when another Harrison was Oh
the field: "0h, have you heard the
news from Maine, how she went hell
bent for Gov, Kent and Tippeeanoe, and
Tyler, too.m Applause and laughter.
He promised his Stateto the Republi-
can party and declared that in the fore
front OF battle would be found cleaning
as it had in every critical fight of the
Republican party, the white plume OF
our Henry OF Navarro.
This declaration was the signal for m
uproar OF applause and cheers, which
continued for some time. When Gov.
Boutelle had concluded his speech, there
were calls for
CREED RAYMOND, OF CALIFORNIA,
and when he mounted the platform he
was generally appIauded. The conven-
ton had given to the party candidate
who combined the qualities OF both.
He did not think that there would be
much need for speech making in this
fight. The Democratic party was at last
making its fight under its true oolors.
1t had adopted the badge Of slavery, the
red bandanna. II was banner which
no virtuous woman loved, and no brave
man ever fought under.
The great party OF the country which
has saved the country under the stars
and stripes would agiin march TO victory
under the old banner which was now
flung to the breeze to meet the old bun
dgnna,
Mr., Davis, OF Minnesota, in few
llowery remarks on behalf OF Minnesota,
also seconded to motion to make the
nomination unanimous. The chairman
then read dispatch he had received
from Russell A. AlgGr, requesting him to
convey his sincere thanks to the dele
gates who had SO Loyalty supported him,
and declaring that
no STATE OR MAN
would give the gallant gentleman who
had won the fight heartier support than
Michigan and himself. "He'sall right" "
ended the dispatch, and the Alger men
in the convention cheered loudly all the
old known refrain. After the conven:
