CHICAGO, June 25.--Gov. Foraker then
took the platform, and amid enthusiastic ap-
plause said: "Gentlemen of the convention,
the delegation from Ohio were here all Sher-
man mon; they are now all Harrison men.
[Applause.1 1t is fair for us to be so whom
we remember that Gen. Harrison had the
good sense to be born in Ohio. Laughter. !
am directed by tho unanimous vote of tho
Ohio delegation to move tho convention, on
behalf of the state of Ohio, that the nomi
nation of Gen. BENJAMIN Harrison be
made unanimous. [Apploussl
Mr. Horr Of Michigan seconded Gov.
Foraker's motion. He hoped that the CON
vention would be unanimous We will
stand by Harrison just as firmly rs we have
stood by Alger. Some people do not think
that he knew everything, but think that
can see the hand of Providence in this
nomination. We hoped TO place a soldier
at the head of the ticket. IL has done it /;
now let us go home and ratfy it,
Senator Farwell ON behalf of Illinois also
seconded the motion of Foraker.
Depew then made his way to tho platform
and said; "This convention would adjourn
in different temper from any other CON
vention III quarter of IA century. No can
didate before the convention expected TO
succeed and no one was disappointed. Can
didates would 60 away

but as full Of enthusiasm as they were when
they came here. New York was the cos
mopolitan state of the union. Men of other
states, whenever they got too big for their
own tommonwealths, went to New York
and when New York found man too
large for his own commonwealth and no
not gha AHA tnI NAN
York had adopted Benjamin Harrison,
and voted for him solidly [Applause.l In
conclusion, Depew predicted an old-time
victory for republicanism, for republican
principles and for tho salvation Of the in
dustrial interests Of the country. [Ap-
plause.l
Mr.. Hastings Of Pennsylvania said that
he wns also authorized to second the motion
to make the nomination unanimous. Penn
sylvania had 100000 majority for any can
didate, and it has that and perhaps more
for Harrison.
Henderson Of Iowa also seconded the
motion. He was sorry now for the Quill
drivers in the democratic sanctums They
could find no place in Harrison's record, no
| stain upon his character He was great
man who would measure up to the full
dignity of tho occasion. Iowa sent him
word to-day to say that that great republi-
can state win stand now frmer than ever
at the head Of the republican column.
NAMES ENTHUSIASM.
| Mr.. Boutelle OF Maine gave assurance oi
the heartiness, cordiality and enthusiasm
| with which the people of Maine would
| ratify Benjamin Harrison. He promised
| that the old refrain would come down from
| Maine as it did in the days gone by when
| another Harrison was in the field: Oh
| have you heard tho news from Mainei
| Mainea How she went hell-bent for the
government and Tippecanoe and Tyler
tool Applause and laughter He promised
| this state to the republican party, and he
| declared that in the fore front OF tho battle
would be found cleaning as it had in every
critical fight of the republican party--the
white plume of our Henry of Navarro.
UPRoARfoUs APPLAUSE.
This declaration was the signal for nm
uproar of applause and cheers which con
| tinued for some time. When Boutele had
| concluded his speech, there were calls for
| Greed Raymond Of California, and when
he mounted the platform he was generously
applauded. He said that while his heart
was glad that the nomination had been
reached, before he said anything about the
| candidate, he wanted TO return thanks tC
the ladies OF Chicago for their gifts OF
| flowers to tho California delegation. There
| had been some question as to whether II
would be wiser to nominate soldier or a
statesman The convention had gwen to
the party a candidate who combined the
| qualities of both He did not think there
would be much need for syeech making in
this fight.
The democratic party was at last making
its fight under its true colors. 1t had
adopted tho badge of slavery-the red ban.
dana. 1t was banner which no virtuoui
woman loved and no brave man ever fought
under. The great party Of the country
which saved the country under the stars
and stripes would again march TO victory
| under the old banner which was now flung
to the breeze to meet the old bandana
"He's ali right" ended the speech, and th'
| Alger men in convention cbeered loudly at
the old, well-known refrain

After the convention had been addresset
by Wise and Malone OF Virginia, Proctor
Of Vermont Lynch Of Mississippi, Thurs.
