ing Dixie was loudly applauded. The
thousand fans made butterflies of the night.
How Some Of the Delegates Looked.
Kinley's hopes. Platt talked with Harry
Oliver, weary faced but smiletul. Warner
Miller read his newspapers clean, after o
ride. Ladies galore were banked behind
the stage. Depew and Horace Porter con-
versed seriously. Senator Washburn seemed
| jovial. Judge Robertson the milestone of
| the Garfield tragedy, sat braced up to hear
| the great debate on the credentials of Africa.
| The big electric light against the dark roof
| and golden columns, restored to our sight
| the mosque of fAb-el-Drahman. Pinchback
| was on the stage.
For nearly one hour the band of music
| went on a lark. Depew arose and in fine
college style called for congratulations to
Dick Thompson. Colonel Dick came to
the stage with full head Of white hair
and spunky voice. He was slightly sug-
gestive of General Dix-had teeth, winked
his white eyebrows and remembered the
battle of New Orleans and was 80 when
Grandfather Harrison died. AS he puffed
Mckinley to his face, such loud applause
arose that the light went out, rousing the
suspicious of Cincinnati in '76.
Quay as Innocent as a Lamb.
Quay appeared in his seat innocent as one
just awakened. Titusville wept on the
conventions breast and asked for relief
Cogswell, fat and tired, announced that
rival reports were coming, but not written.
Quay and Platt attentively listened War
mouth sat back with gray mustache, and
sat seated among his henchmen not ad-
mitted. Spooner came up chewing gum to
greet Quay. Quay stood up like little
boy at camp meeting and famed himself.
Sharp, who called all tic turns for Grant in
$780, sat by the good Shepard and the great
Chauncey, and as the father-in-law OF Ira
Davenport. feels not his soul
The Reading Clerk, not being used to
carry fish in such a market, was fattered
took his place. The audience applauded
the minority report Delegates listened
languidlv to the bill of particulars.
Tom Keogh, of North Carolina, leaped
upon the floor, but Filley, of Missouri, was
recognized and spoke loud and passionately.
Filley is a square-headed man, with white
bearded jaws. He merely repeated the
minority report. 1t looked like sparring
for time His five minutes were soon out,
but they gave him five more: Foraker was
biting his gray Japanese fan. Massey, q
tall, cranky Delawarean, replied, hands
folded, head swaying, Methodist style.
\ The YeEs for Blaine Aroused.
The next man from California fairly
yelled. George Knight, ne who led, is one
of Harrison's officehoders The people
began to be excited. Knight has Roman
head and gray, spiky hair, and he
awoke the Blaine yell loud and long.
Betheny, of Illinois, spoke rather bleached
and see-sawing for officeholders Quay's
son is always by him, as messenger and
friend. Betheny gave Alabama witnesses
bad name.
Joe Cannon wanted to clear the galleries,
but was coughed at and his friends were in
suited. Big men kept out Of the Southern
affray. Ed Wolcott now got up with a
white scarf, Broadway coat and close
fitting head of hair. He walked easily up
and down the aisle, spoke voluble, and
his fine manner was the admiration of
Depew. He gave a lordling's aneer Of
