The platform was then read, 1t be-
gan by indorsing the national platform
of the party and then took up the ad-
ministration, dcvoting to IL words Of
the highest praise, not forgetting the
foreign policy and Blaine and instruct
ing the delegates to Minneapolis to
vote for the denomination of Harrison.
This part was greeted with great
cheers. The platform further Endorsed
the Mckinley bill, declared in favor Of
an International monetary system, in
favor of pensions, against monopolies
and trusts and imported foreign labor,
and condemned the last legislature for
its gcrrymandcr bills,
AS soon MS the platform was read
Delegate Snyder, moved that Major
William Warner be nominated for
governor by rising vote.
The chair put the motion and in.
Stantly the whole convention was upon
its feet, Then followed scene such
as was never before known in Mis-
souri, Republican convcntion--such n
scene as is seldom seen on the floor of
any convention, The delegates
seized handsful of sawdust
from the floor and threw il
into the air, yelled, sang, whistled and
rOarcd Wave after wave Of wild, ear
| splitting noise hurled itself through
the old capitol, This continued for
ten minutes. Then band appeared
in the gallery and began to play
praise God" The worn out cheerers
caught their second wind and went at
| it again, II seemed us il there was no
end Of it, The band played tune after
tune, but they were almost drowned by
the roar
Warner was nominated to minutes
after II o'clock, but IL was ll;l5 VIII cI
he at last faced the convention. Dur
ing all that time the upronr continued
"ln naming the committee TO escor
Warner to the PLATFORM" said Chair
man Burton, 81 take the liberty TO &c
outside Of the convention and to name
Chaunccy |, Filley."
The courtesy to lNillcy after the com
mittec on credentials had refused tC
allow him II scat on his proxy seemed
to please most Of the delegates and
was received with cheers
When Fillcy appeared on the plat.
form, leading Warner by the arm,
there was u great roar of blended
voices. He only said IL few words in
Introducing Warner.
Warner accepted the nomination
He said that he had come to jefferson
| City firmly rcsolv ed not TO be the can
didatc for governor, but as the dele
gates Of his party had insisted upon it,
he consented and offered his best SER
vices to his party. His speech was
constantly interrupted with applause
When Warner had finished there
were loud calls for Fillcy and the old
man in response made speech in
which he Landed the protective system
and told the convention that II the
Republicans of Missouri would stand
together and make n bold and intelli-
gent campaign they would elect the
man they had just nominated and
turn the Democrats out OF the state
house
At the close of Fillcy's speech re-
cess was taken.
