the crowd and il joined in the chorus
and gradually quieted down.
Then a portrait of Mckinley was
hoisted on line with the United States

and the cheering began over again, to-
which the band responded by playing

After at least twelve minutes OF this

When the State of Ohio was called.
Joseph B. Foraker of that State, eX-
Governor and Senator-elect, came TO
the platform and amid great applause
proceeded to put Mr.. Mckinley in nomi-
nation. In the course of his speech
Foraker spoke as follows:
so far we have not made any mis-
take. We have adopted a platform
which, Notwithstanding the scenes wit
messed in this hall this morning, meets
the demands and expectations of the
American people. 1t remains for us, as
the last crowning act of our work, to
meet again that expectation in the NOM
ination of our candidates.
What is that expectation? What is
it that the people want. They want as
their candidate something more than a
good business man (alluding to Mr..
Depew's characterization of Governor
Morton). They want something more
than good Republican. They want
something more than a popular leader.
They want something more than a wise
political statesman. They want a man
who embodies in himself not only these
essential qualifications. but those in ad-

delegates and spectators cheered lusti-
ly for more than ten minutes. The band
would occasionally strike up Marching
Through Georgia, Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," 1.-The Red, White and

quell the uproar, but no sooner had the
band finished one air than the i'm
mense congregation of nearly $4,000
people would take up the refrain and
sung with a volume that shook the
rafters of the convention hall The
racket would then almost subside, but
would again be precipitated by the Ohio
men in the gallery, who manipulated a
huge crayon portrait of Mckinley. FL
nally the great crowd, having tired
itself out, subsided and business was
proceeded with.
The first two days of the convention
were quiet enough. There was not so
much noisy demonstration. But today's
session was marked by scenes that will
live in the memories of all spectators.

of it did not detract in the least from
the great enthusiasm of the crowd in
the convention hall, in hotel lobbies and
in the streets.
When the result of the first ballot
was announced the convention went
wild. Delegates, officers of the con-
vention, reporters and all stood up and
cheered Justify. Hats, fans, handker-
chiefs and papers were thrown into the
air. Umbrellas were raised and whirl-
ed about.
The immense portrait of Mckinley
that had adorned the south wall of the
hall was carried to the center of the
auditorium, and great crowd of cheer
ing delegates and spectators made a
mad rush TO the center of the building.
The wonderful popularity of '[cKinley

The nomination was seconded by Chas.

and said that the name of New York's

as he made his way to the platform
and proceeded to put in nomination

ed bursts of laughter and applause, par
ticularly one humorous interpolated
passage, in which he said:

followed by crowds, are parading the
down town streets, rockets and Roman
candles illuminate the sky in every di-
rection. Seldom before has presiden-
tial candidate been nominated under
such auspicious circumstances.
All good Republicans are in line. The
friends of Reed, Allison, Morton and
Quay are hearty in their enthusiasm
for Major Mckinley as if they had not
espoused the candidacy of their own ia
vorites.
When the president directed the call
of States for nominations for the presi-
dency, the first State to respond was
Iowa, when r. M. Baldwin of Council
Bluffs came to the platform and nomi-
mated Senator w. B. Allison of Iowa.
The speech was an eloquent one and
was loudly applauded at some points.
