best. When he concluded, the Harri-
son enthusiasm uncorked. An i'm
mnnse picture of Harrison was
carted in and held over the
platform, while the crowd vented
its enthusiasm in yellS. Pres
emily the large gonfalon OF the Chicago
Blaine club was brought in, and its
huge portrait of lingo Jim placed be-
side that of Ben. Then both were pa
raded through the hall, and the din and
cheers of both partiSans were uproari-

thought OF dinner was forgotten by
those frenZied maniacS. But even this

and simply grinned at the calls for him.
Colored Delegate Boyd, OF Tennessee, a
clipper young coon, rose when his state
was called, and with grin of conf
dence, and splitting as he went, took his
way to the platform. Enthusiasm and
sweat made mis- countenance shine like

when cheers greeted the rising form of
a recognized leader and very popular.
But his voice was bad and the crowd
was tired. Oratory was at discount,
and there were cries of Vote! vote"
amid the cheers which greeted him. A
young buck, also from Wisconsin, who
talked through his Paderewsky hair
in juvenile appeal for Harrison,
was followed by an involuntary
humorist from Wyoming, under
a Blaine speech, which the crowd did
not need and would not hear. He
talked and they jeered, until the chair
appealed in his behalf. Nobody else
had the courage to talk, and this ended
the call of the roll. The convention

fusion was simply awful. But the
Harrison forces rolled the officeholders'
vote steadily on to victory. The
line never faltered. Even when Ohio
made its great break to Mckinley
from which the opposition hoped so
much, the administration gang stood
solid as rock. Down the roll the call
went, the Harrison vote growing stead

nearly even between Blaine and Nc
Kinley. When Tennessee added her
seventeen votes to the Harrison col

seven votes of a nomination. By this
time the widest bedlam was ''peace-
full valley" compared with that hail, the
Harrison crowd having gone completely
daft. Finally sufficient order was re-
stored to permit of hearing the vote of
Texas. When it added twenty-five
more to Harrison that did settle it, and
bedlam again broke loose. Mckinley
tried to get in motion to make 1t

call proceeded to a finish. -
