way to Pennsylvania. Adjutant General
Hastings was introduced to the convention TO
present the name of Senator Sherman. He
was given a rousing welcome. General
Hastings speech was admirably delivered and
was listened to with marked attention. When
he had concluded Govsrnor Foraker, of
Ohio, was presented by the Ohio delegation
to second Senator Sherman's nomination. As
Governor Foraker advanced up one aisle to
the platform two Of the sergeants-at- arms
came up the other bearing an enormous
floral emblem surmounted by horal shield.
Upon the face of this emblem in letters
formed by red roses in q field of white roses
were Foraker's now famous words, ono bat
tie flags surrendered while ] am Governor"
Considerable significance appeared to be at
tached to this incident by the convention,
and az the Governor and the floral tribute
got on to the stage together there was q
thunder of applause from all parts of the
hall, but with it could be heard volley of
misses. The men bearing the emblem found
some difficulty in getting it placed upon the
stage, and while place was being found for
it the Governor waited in some en-
barrassment until the uproar subsided. He
evidently had not anticipated the incident.
Mr. Foraker said the name and fame of John
Sherman fill the whole land and brighten
every page of our history that has been writ
ten since he entered public life. He is fannil-
iarly known to every State and territory. He
is the immediate friend and acquaintance of
all classes and conditions of our people, high
and low, rich and poor, white and black, ma
tive and foreign born. As it was written on
our platform "a it was read from that desk
to-day, all alike know and honor him because
all alike take an interest in his Iabors and
achievements. Not only do they honor him
for his distinguished services to his country,
but as it was well said by the gem
tleman from Pennsylvania because of
fha araItad eharanfar and rurifv Of hia
private life He is in every sense q typical
representative of the best American life,
American citizenship and American states
mauship. John Sherman's record covers all
there is of Repuhlicanism. Indeed, it began
before the Republican party was born and
has gone on continuously and consistently.
There Is not question and has not been for
thirty years affecting the American people,
internal or external, that he has not dealt
with, and in such way as to COM
nnand the unboanded confidence not
only of business but of all men.
He has always been ready, no matter how
much personal disappointment may be in
volved, to support the nominee and platform
Of Republican convention. He never sulks,
he is always in line and ready for duty; yea,
he is always on duty and that too at the
very fore front or where the fight Is thickest
and there he always delights to be. he La 8
natural born leader. He belongs to fami-
" of leaders. (Applause.l He is brother
of that grand old hero, SO dear to the hearts
of every man who wore the blue, who split
the JEFF Dayis wing of the Democracy Widt
open when he marched in triumph from AT
lanta to the sea. (Applause.) Put your ban-
| ner into the hands of John Sherman and
| let him do a similar job for you
