The result was received with burst OF
applause and the great audience arose to Its
feet and shouted until it had tired itself out.
One Of the officers of the conven-
ton climbed on the chairman's desk and
waved banner bearing tha portrait of Har-
rlson. Ladies in the galleries waved
their handkerchiefs and parasols. Hats were
thrown up and scene Of enthusiastic fol-
lowed by cries of "He's all rights were heard
in the din. Finally, with three cheers for
Harrison, the convention became quiet
enough to hear the official announcement of
the result.
Governor Foraker then took the platform
amid enthusiastic cheers and said: Gentle-
men of the convention: 1.-THE delegation
from Ohio came here all Sherman men. They
are now all Harrison men. Applause. It is
easier for us to be SO when we remember that
General Harrison had the good sense to be
born in Ohio Laughter.J am directed
by the unanimous vote of the Ohio delega-
ton to move the convention on behalf of the
State of Ohio that the nomination of General
Benjamin Harrison be made unanimous. I"
IApplause.
Mr. Horr of Michigan seconded Governor
Foraker's motion. He hoped that the con-
I.1- W.
will stand by Harrison just as firmly as we
have stood by Alger. I think ] can see the
hand of Providence in the nomination. We
hoped to place soldier at the head of the
ticket. We have done it. Now let us go
home and ratify it.
seconded the motion of Governor Foraker
Mr.. Depew being loudly called for said that
this convention would adjourn in different
temper from any other convention in quar-
ter of century. No candidate before the
convention expected to succeed, and no one
was disappointed. The candidates would go
away without heartburnings, but as full of
enthusiasm as they were when they came
here. New York was the cosmopolitan State
of the Union. Men of other States, when
ever they got too big for their own common
wealth, went to New York, and when New
York found man too large for his own
commonwealth and he would not move she
adopted him. New York has adopted Ben
jamin Harrison and voted for him solidly.
(Applause.) In conclusion; Mr.. Depew pre-
dicted an old-time victory for the Republic
cans, for Republican principles and for the
salvation of the industrial interests of the
country. (Applause.) General Hastings of
Pennsylvania said he was also authorised to
second the motion to make the nomination
unanimous. The nomination was then made
unanimous. After motion to adjourn had
been voted down the convention went on
with the regular order-the placing in nomi-
nation of candidates for vice president. When
Kentucky was called Mr.. Denney as
cended the platform and placed
in nomination William o. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, and the nomination was seconded by
Mr.. Griffin, of Kansas. Mr.. Warner Of Ala
bama, Mr.. Houk of Tennessee, Mr.. Watt of
Georgia, and Mr.. Atkinson of Michigan on
behalf of a large part of the Michigan delega-
ton seconded the nomination of Mr.. Brad
ley.
When New Jersey was called Senator Sew
ell stated that it was the intention of New
Jersey to present the name of William Wal
ter Phelps for the presidential nomination.
There would be he said some brief seconding
speeches and as the members of the conven-
ton were tired he would move q recess until
six O'Clock. This motion was at 3:05 agreed
to.
