cheers subsidized.
The call of States was resumed and
when Michigan was reached there was
breathless pause, but no response came
from the Michigan delegation. SWhat's
the matter with Alger?" shouted q
mot in it," and the convention taking
it that the Michigan delegation had re-
tired tho Wolverine candidate from the
race, burst into cheers; Just why no one
knew.
Mr.. Eustis, of Minnesota, seconded
the nomination of Blaine.
The Republican party honored its
great leaders" he said, but above them
ali stood one man. Every issue on which
we must win is personified in his name"
AT the close of Eustis' speech tho
chief Blaine demonstration of the day
took place. 1t seemed as il it were with
out end. Tho crowd yelled, waved UNI
brellas, threw hats in tho air, danced,
cheored, and, after every man had come
to think that human power must soon
overcome itself, the old stamping cry,
blaine, Blaine, James G.. Blaine"
spread throughout the audience.
When it had lasted SO that subsistence
was coming from exhaustion some one
in the crowd began kissing. When Il
lady was given huge star, bearing the
portrait of Blaine, she waved it on high
and the cheering was again renewed.
The enthusiasm began to stir up the
old Blaine mon who had reluctantly
consented to go into the Mckinley
movement
This excited Forakor's hopes that tho
gallant war horse of his devotion might
go through in hurrnh, so that Clarkson
and other leaders had to go him and
stop him from breaking the programme.
The the cheers lasted thirty one
minutes.
w. e. Madison, the colored delegate
from Mississippi, seconded tho nomina-
ton of 1.-The greatest citizen of the
world, Il man so great that no
one is jealous OF him, that
greatest of Americans, that gre at

followed tho speech OF the colored dole

York was called. AS tho courtly De-
pew arose 5000 Harrison representa-
tives burst into one mighty cheer.
For few minutes MIR. Depew could
not speak for tho cheering. When it
