Session Lasted Ten Hours.

The convention was held in session
for 10 hours and ut several different
times it was tragic, dramatic and in
spring. Fully 10000 people were in
the vast audience to hiss or cheer by
turns. The bolt of the silver men from
the West was fully discounted. but it
nevertheless furnished one of the
most dramatic incidents of the day.
Led by Senator Teller they had already
declared their intention of refusing to
subscribe to the gold plank in the plat
form, but on the floor, after Senator
Teller had made his final appeal to the
convention not to take the step which
would drive him and his colleagues ont
from the ranks of the party which in
the past had honored them and they
had delighted TO serve, and the conyen-
ton had voted-81S16 to 1051a-to stand
by the gold declaration in the platform,
not one who witnessed the scene will
forget TO his last day the picture of Sem
ator Frank Cannon of Utah facing from
the platform 10000 irate, kissing, jeer-
ing people as he read the declaration of
the silver men. He stood erect and de-
faint, his pale face set in grim deter
mination as those before him tried tc
cry him down until the very courage he
displayed won for him the admiration
Which Compelled Silence.
When he finished the reading he turned
and shook hands with Senator Foraker,
the chairman of the committee on cre-
dentials, and other friends on the plat
form, then, locking arms with Senator
Teller, the two men left the stand,
moved down the aisle to where the
standard of the Idaho delegation stood.
There they were joined by the hand
some, stalwart Dubois, and the three
men continued their march to the main
door. Their followers fell in behind
them as they moved along. 1t was a
small band, several of the delegates
from the states of Utah and Montana
preferring to subscribe to the platform
rather than TO sever their allegiance to
their party. Only a few of the dele
gates
Displayed any Bitterness
toward what they belie-ed to be the
misguided course of their colleagues,
and breathed a sigh of relief when it
was over. Never before has there been
a bolt from the Republican party, al
though Wendell Phillips and some more
radical Republicans held a convention
at Cleveland in 1854 and placed in the
field a ticket in opposition TO Lincoln
and Johnson. The radicals on that
occasion, however. withdrew their

The permanent organization was eff
fected and the permanent chairman.
Senator John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska,
assumed the duties of presiding officer
at the morning session, and the reports
OF the committees ON credentials and
rules were received and adopted at the
afternoon session.
Much Enthusiasm Prevailed.
The second days session was in
striking contrast to the dull, featureless
meeting on the the first day. The vast
hall was packed to its utmost capacity
with thousands of spectators, keyed to
the highest electric touch of word or
suggestion. The hoarse roar of 1900
voices as it came laundering down to
the pit from the black wall of people ON
all sides, accompanied with waving Of
handkerchiefs and band flags, made a
tumult Of noise and motion that made
the pulse beat a faster tune. The

date for Vice President.
PATERSON, N. j., June 20.-Garrett
A. Hobart was born at Long Branch, N.
j., i'll lS45. After receiving a common
school education he attended Rutgers
college, whence he was graduated when
20 years of age. He was admitted to
the bar in 1865. In 1872 Mr.. Hobart
was elected assemblyman, and in his
second term he was elected speaker of
the assembly. In 1877 Passaic county
sent him to the state senate. He closed
his career as a legislator in 1S81-S2,
when he was the president
of the senate. Hobart was the
Republican caucus nominee for United
States senator in 1884 when John K.
Mcpherson DEM was elected. He
was New Jerseys member of the Re-
publican national committee in 1884 and
was elected vice chairman. Hobart is
receiver of the Midland railway, the
Montclair and the Jersey and Albany
lines, and of the First National bank of
Newark director of several banks and
many railroads and q large number of
other companies and corporations.

the convention. Mr.. Fort of New Jer~
sey and General Grosvenor of Ohio
were put forward to champion the re-
ports. Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa led the
opposition. The lines We're not drawn
absolutely, as quite a number who are
pledged to Mckinley voted with the
opposition. They were defeated 5451s
3491s. They realized that they could
not overthrow the
Victorious Hosts of Mckinley
and made no attempt TO emphasize
their discontinue by demanding a roll
call on its final adoption.
General Harry Bingham of Pennsyl-
vania, who has been secretary Of the
Republican national convention and
who is chairman of the committee ON
rules of the present convention, then
presented the report of that committee.
General Bingham makes a picturesque
figure. He is small in stature and
dresses in the height Of fashion. Gen
eral Bingham read the report of the
rules committee in a strong voice, but
it wearied the convention, and Webster
Flanagan Of Texas asked that the fur

yield. On the completion of the read

over a convention which would nomi-
nate the
Next President of the United States.
The enthusiasm broke all bounds. For
several minutes the convention cheered
and yelled and shouted.
There was a brief contest over the
question of proceeding with the cleo
ton of permanent officers before the re-
port of the committee ON credentials
had been acted upon. Senator Yelling
ton and Congressman Mudd of Mary
land and Delegate L~ittlefeld of Maine
vainly protested that it was irregular
and that there was no convention until
the credentials of the members had been
passed upon. But their many protests
were swept aside like chaff before the
wind. The convention brimmed over
with enthusiasm and was in no temper
TO be delayed. At the afternoon session
the first test of strength between the
Mckinley followers and those of Reed,
Allison, Quay and Morton came, and,
although the Issue presented was not as
strong as Mckinley, it demonstrated to
the satisfaction of all that that candi-
date has a
Clear Majority of "A Hundred
in the convention. The question was
the adoption Of the report of the COM
mirtee on credentials which certified
the action of the national committee in
giving almost all the 100 contested seats
TO the McKinleyites and decided the
