called, and voted for Mckinley. The del

All Of the states having been called, the
president stated before the announcement
of the result that application had been
made on him for recognition by the rep
resentatiVes Of the defeated candidates
to make a certain motion He believed
II would be the fairest way to recognize
them IN the order in which the nomina-
tions had been made. He then announced
that William Mckinley had received 661h
votes, and the scene of an hour before was
repeated. Delegates and spectators arose
and cheers and huZzas rent the ar. There
was not a single one of the 1900 or
1900 people in the great hall who did not
do his or her best to swell the sounds or
jubilee, and to join In the grand popular
demonstration In favor of the successful
candidate. The women were as enthusi-
astic as the men. 1t seemed as If no one
would be seated again, and as If orderly
proceedings would never more be at
tempted.
one young man on the platform waved
on the point of the national banner, a
laced cooked hat such as the conqueror
at Marengo is represented as wearing.
This symbol of victory added, if possible,
to the enthusiasm and the noise was
swelled by the booming of artillery out
