publican clnp of the University of Chi
cago. The portrait was a mahogany
frame. decorated with red, white and
blue ribbC ms and with bow of the ma
room colored ribbons forming the colors
of the university. The portrait was the
work Oh Mr. Harris Hirsch and was
presented by Dr. l.. II. Montgomery, of
Chicago, with letter signed by MIR Fl.
l.. Icl'es. president of the club. 1t was
accepted by Senator-elect Foraker in
dumb bow.
/ When Mr. Foraker, after an enthus-
iastic demonstration which lasted over
ten minutes. resumed his speech, his
| words seemed to have lost much of their
| fire and fervor because they came in
such close contact with the unbounded
eyuberance of the convention.
For some time he could not secure a
hearing. He spoke of the great cham
pions of Republicanism in the past
eulogizing Mr.. Blaine particularly and
continued:
| But greatest of all, measured by
| present requirements. the eader of the
house of representatives is the author
of the Mckinley bill, which gave to
labor its richest rewards. No other
name completely meets the require
ments of the occasion, and no other
name so absolutely commands all
hearts. The shafts of envy and malice
and SANDER and libel and detraction
that have been aimed at him lie broken
and harmless at his feet The quiver
is empty and he Is untouched. That Is
because the people know him. trust him
believe in him, love him and will not
permit any human power to disparage
him unjustly in their estimation.
AMERICAN OF AMERICANIsTs.
"They know that he is an American of
Americanists. They know that he is
just and able and brave; and they want
him for president of the United Safes.
(Applause.)
"They have already shown it, not in
this or that state nor in this or that Sec
ton. butfn all the states and in all the
sections from ocean to ocean and from
the gulf to the lakes. They expect of
you to give them a chance vote for him.
1t is our duty to do it, If we discharge
that duty we will give joy to their
hearts, enthusiasm to their souls and
triumphant victory to our cause. Cap
plause.) And he, in turn. will give us
an administration under which the
country will enter upon new era of
prosperity at home and of glory and
honor abroad. BY all these tokens OF
the political and all these promises of
the future, in the name of the forty-siX
delegates of Ohio, submit his claim to
your consideration" More applause
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, was
recognized by Temporary Chairman
Hepburn and seconded the nomination
of Mckinley.
