IN u ~ ~
Georgia." Instead of listening quietly to
the instrumental music the crowd simply
drowned 1t out by singing In all sorts of
voices and in all kinds of time the rollick-
ing words of the song. Everybody came
u especially strong on the chorus, and
among the hearty voices could be heard,
interviewer in the tapestry of sound, the
softer notes Of the hundreds of women,
whose handkerchief were flying in the
air from the galleries.
Then followed "The Battle Cry of Free
dom, - america" Dixie and yankee
Doodle" the crowd all the time yelling
like demonsand Chairman Thurston vain
ly ~endeavoring to preserve order. After q
few minutes of this sort of thing, by vir-
tue of the law of exhaustion, the voices
sank toward silence, but they never reached
it, for the band came in with Hail Co
lumbia," and with a last effort the GROVE
Joined in and overwhelmed the music.
But twenty-five minute of anarchy tired
out the most ardent McKinleyite, n Mr..
Foraker was permitted to proceed. He
said:
Gentlemen of the convention, you seem to
have heard of the name of my candidate be-
u Nnu SO you nave. lie Is KNOWN une world
over. HIS testimonials are of private life with
out reproach. Four years of heroic service as
a boy soldier on the battlefields of the repub-
he, under such gallant generals as Philip H.
sheridan. Twelve years of conspicuous SER |
vice In the halls of congress, associated with |
great leaders of Republicanism. -Four years of |
executive service as go&B:nor of Ohio, but, |
greatest of all, measured by present require |
ments, leader of the house of representatives |
and author of the Mckinley law, a law under
| which labor had riebar rpvyard and the country |
greatly increased prosperity.
No other name so completely meets the re-
quirements of the American people, and no
other man so absolutely commands their
hearts and their affections. The shafts of envy,
malice and dereliction lie broken and harmless
at his feet. They have already been shot and
shot In vain; the culver is empty and he I'M
touched, and that is so because the American
| people know him, trust him, believe him, love
him, and no efforts to disparage him can sue
coed. they know that he is patriotic, and they
know that he is an American of Americans.
They know he is wise; that he is able and true,
and they want him for president of the United
| States.
They have already SO declared, not in this or
that state or section, but in all the states and
all the sections Of our country, from ocean to
ocean, and from the gulf to the lakes. They OK
pect us to give them a chance to vote for him.
If we discharge that duty we will give joy to
their hearts, enthusiasm to the campaign and

turn will give us an administration under
which the country will enter upon a new era of
prosperity at home and of glory and honor
abroad. By all these tokens Of the present, all
these promises for the future, in the name of
the delegates of Ohio, he claims your consider
alton.

owing to the war waged against him by
the Warner Miller faction, the nomination
of Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey, be-
came a certainty. Mr.. Hanna and the
Mckinley influence was thrown for him,
and although there was an attempt to
consolidate the west and south on II. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, the Mckinley influ-
ence was too potent. The nominating
speeches were brief. Buckley of Connecti-
cut, Lippett of Rhode Island and General
Walker of Virginia We're also placed in
nomination, and it only required one bal
lot to determine the contest. Hobart re-
ceived 530% votes, so more than IL major
ity. Evans, his nearest competitor, re-
ceived 2S0k. There We're scattering votes
for Reed, Thurston, Grant, Depew, Nor
ton and Brown.

ton, which was adopted, making the per-
manent chairman the chairman of the

duty, and the people of St. Louis for full
filling every promise relating to the con-
vention.
