WE'LL RECEIVED,
The Oratory of F. F. Davis
RoundIy Applauded.


Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 21.-The Northwest
carried off fair share of the oratorical
honors in to-day's session. Frank Davis
won his spurs in most gallant style, and
while his speech seconding Gresham's
nomination had good deal of the
sophomore tinge, still it pro-
duced an electrical effect, and
was we'll received by the convention.
Davis made the only speech of the morn
ing session worth listening to. 1t was
fortunate circumstance for him that he
was preceded by Leonard SWEET, in the
tamest nominating speech that was ever
inflicted upon a convention, and was
followed by others as dry and
barren as the sands of Labrador, so that
Davis f1orid rhetoric and beautifully
rounded sentences tell as refreshingly
upon the convention as the sight
of an oasis in the midst of
desert. The speech was heartily
applauded by the vast audience
and at its conclusion he was warmly
congratulated by his fellow delegates
and friends. A candidates name never
went before the convention in worse
mangled shape than Gresham's,
and if it had not been for Mr..
Davis brilliant effort Gresham's
candidacy would have died

and thoughtful of the day. Like most

CHICAGO. June 21.-The clean cut
phraseology of the platform adopted to-
day fixed the status of the Republican
party, as the party of protection for
projections sake. 1t is the best plat
form the Republican party ever stood
upon, in the sense that it is
the most honest one. It is
an Illuminated photograph of
the Pennsylvania tariff idea, and If the
Republican party has mission on
earth it is to perpetuate the Pennsyl-
vanla doctrine of protection. But what
an awful bait of crow it dishes up for
Minnesota Republicans to swallow.
Compared with their state plat
form OF two years ago, it suggests
the picture of a house divided against
itself. l felt sorry for some of the
Northwestern delegates to-day while
the platform was being read. When
Mckinley, with loud voice and in an
emphatic tone, read the sentence,
I'VE uncOmpromisingly declare in
favor of the American system of pro-
tection," all the delegates from
the East and the colored coherents from
the South, together with sprinkling of
Westerners, arose to their feet and rent
the air with approving clamor. But
most of the Iowa delegates, about one
half of the Minnesotans and a part of
the Michigan and Wisconsin delega-
tons sulked in their seats.
They realized that it would
be strange doctrine for them to
go back home and preach to their con-
stituents. They knew that it was not
what the farmers of the Northwest
wanted incorporated in the platform.
Still they didn't have the courage to
stand by their convictions or to enter
protest against the hostile attitute the
national party was about to take
in opposition to the agricultural in
terests of the great Northwest. A few
minutes afterwards, when it was pro-
posed to adopt the platform by rising
vote, the sulkers stood up with the rest.
and formally expressed adherence
TO a doctrine which they
know to be destructive of all
Northwestern industries. 1t was a
humilitating spectacle to see Mime
sota's fourteen delegates, so blinded by
partisan zeal, as to forget that the
farmers and workingmen had an inter
est at stake. 1t was gross betrayal of
public trust, and a political crime
which will cost the Republican party
dearly In the coming election. G. FL. NJ.

CHICAGO, June 21.-At 10:0S, although

CHICAGO, June Ex-senator Steener-
son always had hair of the white-horse
variety, but he is more red-headed to-
night than usual. 1t is because
of Hartley's statement to-day that
the Fifth district, the larg-
est wheat-growing district in the
United States, was practically solid for
~Depew. Senator Steenerson not onlv
denies the statement in most emphatic
language, but says that if it had been
known that Hartley was Depew
man, he would never have held
a seat in the convention. He saws in
most unqualified terms that if Depew is
nominated the Democrats will sweep
the Fifth. district. Delegate Lewis
backs him in the statement. Delegate
Edgerton, of the First district, will
stick to Gresham as long as he is before
the convention, but feels that it is
useless fight. He is sure that
Blaine will be nominated. l have
it from good authority that it is
plan of the Sherman managers to
hold back portion of his vote on the
first ballot and bring it in after
wards in order to create the
impression on the convention that
Sherman is a growing candidate. Col.
Quay says, that while the Pennsylvania
delegation will stand by Sherman at
the outset, the Blaine feeling is so
strong among them he is sure they can
not be held back if Blaine's name is
precipitated upon the convention.

CHICAGO, June 21.-After hearing the
nominating speeches and closely watch
ing their varying effects upon the con-
vention, it is as difficult tonight as at
any previous time to forecast the re-
suit. Blaine continues the problem, and
the uncertainty of it's solution is
only intensified by the conduct OF
the California delegation to-day. To a
careful observer it is apparent that the
forces of Blaine, Depew and Harrison
manage to keep in sight of each other
and it is fairly evident that they have
established secret signal ser.
vice by which they are enabled
to understand each others movements.
