Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-06-11


Colorado batlllion; the State that
leads the silver revolt against the adj
ministratisn.
Wolcott takes the floor and nomi-
mates Blaine amid burst of cheering
that lasts several minutes.
His first words were, "Blaine has
never been President -four country
but he will be on the first of March
next"
There was nothing remarkable III
this utterance, but the words had
not died from the speakers lps when
awave of applause rocked the build
ing, men rose and yelled, and wom-
en- also on their feet waved their
handkerchiefs and parasols.
81 am proud to cast my vote for a
man whose first thought has always
been for country and last thought
for self. Another series of yells.
As he went on eulogizing the man
from Maine, cheer after cheer re-
bounded to every sentence and the
cry, "Blaine, Blaine" echoed from
every side.
THE HARRISON GUNS IN ACTION.
When Indiana was reached Rich>
ard Thompson took the platform as
an army of delegates cheered every
footstep.
He sent this shot at the Blaine
line:
81 propose to present the name
of a man who does seek success
the detracyion Of any other great
Republican. [Cheers
Il nominate for President General
Harrison, the Warrior Statesman.
In an instant the hall swelled with
cheers. 1t was a prolonged roar
from floor and gallery, gathering vol
ume every instant, a crescendo Of
applause that ended in howl.
1t was longer and louder than lie
response to Blaine's name, anl then
it died away only to be renewed
again.
When order was restored and name
Of Michigan was reached there was a
Pause, and many who hoped to cheer
for Alger were disapr ointed, and the
State was passed in silence.
Then Eustice, Of Minnesota, took
the platform to second the nomina-
ton of Blaine.
lie spoke Of Mckinley, the great
disciple Of Protection, ana there was
tremendous cheering.
This was done to feel the pulse Of
the crowd, that they might know |
where to break ground to in case
Harrison did not win on the first |
ballot and Blaine had to retire.
THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE DAY.
When Eustice reached BIalne's
name, the ground swell of applause
rose in a dull roar like the growl of I
thunder, and then burst like an aya~
lanc6e over the assemblage.
The manner in which it rolled baci,
and forth over the tempestuous sea
Of frantic men, bristling hands and
waving handkerchiefs, is something
never to be forgotten.
The band struck up with forty
pieces, but the band was like leaf
N the storm of sound.
The demonstration in favor of
Blaine is something that no pen can
ittingly describe. 1t lasted fully
.wenty minutes, and tho audience
seemed to have turned into an assem-
olage of lunatics.
Such demonstration Of public
approval could have been secured by
10 man in the United States save
Blaine, and to have won it were
worth lifetime Of public service.
The testimonial, rough and savage
n its aspects as it may have bee,
would be regarded by many pubic
nan with az much inward satisfac
ion as a Presidential nomination
nd in many instances harder to Sc
ure.
GETTING TO. CLOSE QUARTERS.
After the din had subsidized, Matti-
on of Mississippi took the platform
OF Blaine, and there was revival
n tamr way of fie 3iaine nthusi-
SIN, but the storm had spent lis fury
nd the audience was weak from ex,
austion.
Depew tool! the Platform for Har-
ison amid u fresh cannonade of
