with those who retired a personal oD-
lection to the gold plank. but that while
his people objected TO it and reserved
the right with constituents to enter
protesc. still he did not believe that it
was necessary to leave at this Juncture.
There were other great issues that the
Republican p.rty should carry out,
! and he should stand by it to those eX-
tents. He would refer the conventions s
platform to the people of Montana for a
decision
: An attempt by Henderson, Of Iowa, to
interrupt him was cried down by the
delegates and spectators and he was al
lowed to speak to the finish.
WHEN HE HAD FINISHED
Chairman Thurston recognized Senator
Brown. of Utah. Senator Brown said
that while he joined mis- silver collea-
CUES in their protest against the read
ing Of silver out of the party, still he be-
lieved that there were greater issues
than even the financial supremacy of the
countryside tariff, our marine and
many other things talked about in the
party. He then moved that the con-
vention allow three a!teTnates from the
State of Utah to sit in the convention
during the remainder of the session in
place of three regular delegates who
had walked out. This was carried with
viva voce vote, amid applause.
Senator Brown was followed by A.
+. Burleighf of the State of Washing
ton, who said that his State looked up
on the issues of Mckinley and prctec-
ton as greater questions than the sim
pie one OF a financial standard.
The regular order of business was
then demanded and the chair called
for the naming o. the State delegation
chairmen.
The convention quieted down after
this scene and the chairman called upon
the secretary for the list Of the nation
al committeeman selected
The next business is the call of the
roll O. States for the nomination for
President, announced Mr. Thurston at
2 o'clock
The roll was called: names were un-
answered, which had seldom been pass
ed before in Republican convention-r-
linois and Indiana-and the monotony
was broken only when Gen. Hender-
son rose at the call of Iowa to announce
that Charles H. Baldwin, Of Council
Bluffs, would speak for that State.
Mr. Baldwin is stout. smooth faced
man and strobe to the stage
TO NAME ALLISON.
Early in his speech he spoke the
name James G. Blaine. which in con-
ventions gone by had been a slogan TO
conjure with. The cheering was not
great in volume when Baldwin first
mentioned the name CT his candidate
! although It was intense in the sections
1 where Iowa delegates and alternates
were stationed, Congressman Hepburn
had temporarily taken Thurston's ga
vel when Baldwin finished.

unflinchingly faced the irate audience.
His face was pale, but on it was look
of grave determination, and he did not
vince as he looked those who were hiss
ing, all about him. in the eyes.
CHAIRMAN THURSTON TRIED
vainly to stay the torrent of disap-
proval and restore order. At last, when
he could make himself heard ne set
the convention off by ringing state
ment that the Republican party did not
fear the declaration that WAS being
read.
The delegates, except the boiling del
egations, rose to their feet en- masse and
cheered.
From the galleries 1900 threats sem.
out their brazen approval, cheer follow
ing cheer. Arms waved frantically.
Canes. handerchiefs, hats, umbrellas, all
s. aged and swirled like branches in
storm. The roar grew deep until 1t
was as deafening as Niagara. Dee
gates mounted their chairs in their en-
thusiasm and waved flags, fans and
haldkerchiefs frantically.
From sheer exhaustion they finally
sank back only 10 rise again in their
enthusiasm. Three times the storm
swept over them before the gale c.
emotion subsidized sufficiently to allow
Mr.. Thurston to again proceed.

These words in a resonant. decisive

the shout had somewhat spbsided, the
noise of the band asserted itself by de-
grees in the shape of the melody Co
lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean
Twice or three times the strain was
repeated, and then a voice took up the
words:
Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue" and then by degrees the whole
assembly took up the chorus with a
magnificent burst and sang The Army
and Navy Forever"
Three Cheers for the Red, White

Two stanzas were sung by this chorus
Of 10000, and the band firing Of its
work, dropped out of the song. Mean
time, the file of silver men had disap-
psared beyond the bust of Grant before
the main entrance. But. still the crowd
stood on their chairs and sang.
The desertion of the band failed to
lessen their ardors and they sang the
verses over without accompaniment,
except the waving of their open UNI
brellas and flags.
At length the bandmen regained their

had swelled to such tempest that the
instruments were unheard twenty feet

Three Cheers for the Red, White and

count of time and were waving their
arms and embracing their neighbors

above their heads as though they had
gone stark crazy. II was only pure
physical exhaustion that finally brought
the house by degrees back into the
chairs.

applause broke forth and still the del

for a chance TO speak.
