Adherence to the existing gold

The convention to-day completed its work
and tonight hundreds of delegates are
already hurrying home. b1r. Hanna has
won out on the ticket and his deep satis-
faction at defeating Mr. Platts announced
plan TO 'choke Morton down his throat as

easily reconciles Kim to the defeat he suf-
f.red in having the word gold forced
into the platform. Lit has been a good day
with Mr.. Hanna. He was well at ease all
the long day. He sat some six feet away
from the seat occupied by the Journal cor
respondent. and the course of events could
be accurately followed by watching the
play of his features. During the scene that
followed the tabling of the free-silver plank
he was impatient. He chewed vigorously at
big. black cigar, and SO often muttered
his impatience at the delay caused by the
silver men that General Grosvenor, who
sat on his right, finally arose and protested
against any more Democratic speeches be-
ing made in a Republican convention when
there were more important matters to ac-
complish.
Mr.. Hanna was anxious to push the work
of the convention. Everything was in his
hands to-day. and he was determined not
to undergo another night of worry. The
Morton boom had during the night. grown
steadily weaker. and the success of the
Hobart boom foreshadowed in a late dis
patch last night was this morning
sured that Mr.. Platt had reluctantly aban-
doned it, rather than suffer in the con-
yention the disgracefulness which he him.
self had planned for Mr.. Hanna. Mr.. For
aker early this morning announced to Mr..
Hanna that he would not carry out his in
tended plan of nominating Mr.. Morton and
delivering twenty-four votes from Ohio to
the rival candidate Mr.. Evans had con-
ceded his defeat, but expressed his anxiety
to remain in the contest to demonstrate
his sincerity. Nevertheless Mr.. Evans had
no fears that his persistency in opposing
Mr.. Hobart will be a detriment to his ap-
pointment as Postmaster-gener
Mr. Hanna, therefore. was well at ease
and smiled complacently when some dismal
croaker reminded him that to-day was the
anniversary of Waterloo. Mr.. Hanna knew
there would be no Blucher to-day. whose
sudden advent would turn the tide Of bat
tie. Still he took no chances. Within ten
minutes after the delegates had taken
their seats they were notified that Mr. Nc
KinIey's interests demanded sacrifice of
their comfort to the extent of remaining
in session until the programme had been
entirely carried out. After the resolutions
were well out OF the way Mr.. Hannas feat
ures settled into lines of comfort. AT in

and it's place was taken by a sandwich.
General Grosvenor. when not the account
ant, was the commissary. He was fortified
with an apparently bottomless bag of sand
wiches and as Mr. Wellington, who sat
across the aisle, had apparently made some
arrangement with lemonade vender by
which the stuff was brought in by the
pail, MIR. Hanna, between the Grosvenor
sandwiches. the Wellington lemonade and
his own black cigar. passed the day in
| comfort.

the District of Columbia delegates, that Mr.

| transport OF amusement. He listened to
| the nominating speeches and when Mr..
| Foraker made his magnificent speech plac-
| ing Mr.. Mckinley in nomination, Mr.. Han
mas face was study. During the whirl-
wind of enthusiasm that arose during the
| Foraker speech Mr.. Hanna sprang upon his
| chair, waved his arms and shouted as
| franticaily as any one. One of his young
er friends handed him tin horn. He took

| a conscious look. But he made
no effort TO hide his joy at the
final fruition of all his weary months OF
labor. and at this brilliant triumph over
| all the managers in his party. When Ohios
vote was cast and Mr.. Grosvenor whis-
pered what every one else knew as well,
that Ohios ballots had nominated her cam

Grosvenor's arms. Nor were the friends Of
