Rev. DR.. Anderson prayed that the
voice of the convention might be as the
voice of God. Then the state chairman
essayed an Introductory speech, but his
voice was barely audible to the front
benches. When, however, he made a
complimentary allusion to eX-Gov. For
aker there was repetition on a smaller
scale of the Sherman ovation.
The junior member of "Ohio's Big
Three" who sat in the midst of the
Hamilton county delegation, bowed
and rebowed his acknowledgements, but
the noise grew louder and he finally al
lowed himself to be escorted to the
platform, where he dramatically shook
hands with Senator Sherman and took
a seat by his side.
A third time the chairman picked up
his notes, but the babel of irony was
recommended and he gave it up in de-
spair. Then he whispered in Sena-
tor Sherman's ear, and the latter as

mality of an introduction, reprimand-
ed the convention like parent chiding
a child for its misbehavior and sug-
gested that it was evident that those
before him were not in u fit state of
mind to select candidate. Then he
proceeded to address the convention.
Senator Sherman spoke with consid-
cradle energy and his references to the

plauded. Warm greetings We're also
given to his naming of Mckinley as
Ohio's presidential candidate and For
aker as her next senator.
AS soon as he had concluded, Gen.
Hurst, of Chillicothe, was on his feet
with resolution for a night session.
There was shout of opposition, but in
a few impassioned sentences he called
attention to the fact that Thursday
was memorial day and urged that the
convention would certainly not in.
