fervor. He was frequently interrupted by
the applause of his statements as to
the special reasons why New York should

was wild outburst of applause, the dem,
onstration continuing for several minutes
and almost eclipsed the demonstration
which occurred when Harrison was nomi-
mated.
Mr.. Gage, of California, seconded the
nomination of Morton, He said the
convention had been gathered, not in the
interest of any one m an, but in the inter
est of party, and it was now a question of
what was best to be done for success
next fall. He believed that
the nomination of Harrison
had made Indiana certainly republican
now. There was a chance to name a can
didate for vice. president who could, win
Harrison, make New York certain. Levi
p. Morton could poll more votes on the
Pacific coast than any other living Amer

Governor Foster, of Ohio, also seconded
the nomination of Morton. He said that
the hopes of his state had been shattered

president, asgit would assure the success
OF the ticket beyond doubt. He believed
that eight years, ago the nomination
of Arthur had made victory sure
because it had assured victory
in New York. Let the party now profit
by that example, and do some wise thir &
