 TIRE WORK OF THE SECOND DAE. The Convention Organized for BusI. ness and the Work Under Way Chairman Estee Makes a Strong and Comprehensive Speech-Nominating speeches will Not De LImIted-The | Platform Not Yet Presented.
 CHICAGO, June-20.-It was great throng that crowded into the auditorium today, all anxious, expectant and eager to witness the proceedings of the second day of the Repub- ! lican national convention. Mir. Estee of California, who had been selected as perma- | neht chairman of the convention, was an early arrival, but he was greeted by few as he walked upon the platform, for he is an uns obtrusive man and few present recognized him. He is 8 broad-shouldered and broad agreeable manners, and expressed himself this naDrning quite modestly as to his ! ability to successfully master the situation to which he has been chosen. MT. Estee's ! friends have no such doubt. He has man ! aged larger bodies before and has fine execu~ I tive ability. He looks a typical Californian | Such of the lines of his face as can be seen I through his heavy brown beard are strong and indicate 6rmness tempered with discre- ! tion and he stands squarely on his heels as a man who knows his own mind.
 | It was after 12 o'clock when Chairman | Thurston called the convention to order and \ a hush fell on the assemblage when Rev. Stephen Northrop of Fort Wayne, Ind, lift | ed his voice in prayer. After some discus. sion as to whether the convention ought to | effect permanent organization before the committee on credentials had reported it was decided that the convention should go ahead and organize. Governor Foster of Ohio, chairman of the committee on perma- nent organization, then read the report of the committee, MT. Estee's name being greeted with loud and continued applause. There was long list of vice presidents chosen | by the State delegations, and the other off ! cers of the convention were:
 Secretaries-Charles w. Clisbee of Michigan Mi chaeI Griffen of Wisconsin, William Ruel of Ten ! nessee. MT; Lynch of Pennsylvania.
 nessee, James Bisby of Minnesota, Henry M. Cooper Monroe of Maryland, J. E. Wiley of Texas, O. M Shinn of West Virginia and John E. Miner of Lou isiana. Reading CIefks-Henry Ballard of Vermont, Col. Clarkson Lake of New York, Capt. David Lenning of Ohio, James F; Stone of Michigan and George Official Stenographer- Gustavus P. English. Sergeat-at-A Arms-C Charles Fitzsimmons of Chi The report was accepted without dissent and MT. Estee was escorted to the platform \ from his seat in the California delegation. When the applause had subsided MT. Estee, \ after thanking the convention for the honor | done him by his selection as chairman, said:
