When the convention convened on the 2Sth
for the purpose of nominating 4 state ticket, n
committee was appointed to prepare a list Of
names TO present to tn" convention from which
To- select a ticket. While the committee was
absent the state committee was chosen, two
from eacn congressional district
The convention grew tired waiting for the re-
port of the special committee, and the Third
district committee secured the fionr and moved
that the rules be suspended and Hon. William
Warner nominated by acclamlt ion for the office
Of governor of the state of Missouri. Nothing
could he hearl but cheers for several mo-
mcnts, each man in the house seconded
the nomination. and when the motion
was put it was carried by n rising vote
the delegates standing upon chairs and tables
and in the windows. Hats, canes, handk,r-
chiefs and umbrellas filed the air and nearly
1000 throats yelled and screamed till they were
hoarse. After this had continued for five or ten
minutes, and Judge Burton had vainly cndeav-
ored to restore order, hs climbed upon the
speakers desk, waving. and calling upon the
convention for order. This movement, how
ever. was only the signal for another outburst of
cheering In hopes of calming the multitude the
band played "Hail Columbia" The Red. White
and Blue" The star Spangled Banner" ="
and other airs. Nothing could stop the crowd
however which seemed TO have gone wild.
Some one struck up Marching Through
Georgia 9" and the band caught the idea and a
thousand voices joined in and kept it up till the
crowd became quiet by becoming at last cx-
hausted. 1t was then half an hour after the
nomination. and the chairman notified thr con-
vention that he would appoint a committee to
wait upon the next governor of Missouri and
conduct him 10 the hall. He aided that he
would head the committee with Chauncey l.
Filley, Of St Louis. This was greeted with ap-
plause. He nsmed the others of the COM
mittee: E. S. R5wse, of st. Louis; p ID.
Hastam Of Sedalia: B. NJ. Prantiss. of Gala
tin, and George Martin of Brookfeld.

fellow republicans, there are some things that

the magnificent reception YOU have rendered
me and the honor yOu have conferred can not
sufficiently thank you. You will sec enough OF
me and you will hear enough about me from the
opposition papers between now and the end of
the campaign. so it is needless TO dwell
upon myself. Laughserl l will say, thongh,
