brilliant, animated and enthusiastic sessions
OF the convention to-day. The vast hall
was packed to It's utmost capacity with
thousands of spectators, keyed to the high
est pitch OF enthusiasm and responded with
cheers and hand clapping1 to the electric
toueh Of every word or suggestion. The
hoarse roar Of 1900 voices, as It came

panied with waving of handkerchiefs, hand

that made the pulse beat faster tune

Senator Thurston, whose warm, magnetic
eloquence found ready sympathy in the
vast concourse of Republicans, and with
spirits thus aroused every incident evoked

presided over tie convention Of 1883 which
nominated the last victorious ticket Of the
party and predicted that he was now pre-
siding over convention which would nom
mate the next president OF the United
States the enthusiasm broke all bounds.
For several minutes the convention cheered
and yelled and shouted.
At the morning session there was brief

the outcome were to be assured victory.
Only twice through all this long period has
the sun shone in upon US. In 1894, for the
first time since the Republican party came
Into existence, we sent to congress q solid
delegation Of eight Republicans and elected
Republican to the United States senate.
We followed this In 1895 by eleoting Re-

Within few moments OF the announce
ment OF the nomination, kilograms poured
In, and within a half hour they were num-
bered by hundreds, coming from all parts
of America. One Of the first to be received
was from the Marquette club Of Chicago.
whose guest Gov. Mckinley was last
February and at whose banquet he made
MS =: last public political address. At that
time IL the Marquette club prided itself that
it had entertained Gen. Harrison just pre-
Vious to his nomination naming him as the
coming nominee, and they wired him with
in few moments after the result was
known: e
'The Marquette club Of Chicago con-
graduates you upon your nomination for

fcation that In Its earnest efforts in your
behalf In the preconvention campaign 1t
SO nearly reflected the wishes OF the great

dent, and officers of the club
Howard B. Moser, secretary Of the Pot
ters' Association Of New Jersey, rendered
heartiest congratulations for his associa-
ton.
Hon. Mark Hanna's modest announce
ment was simply this:
'Ohio's vote nominated you. congratu-
late you. M. A. Hanna"
One Of the earliest dispatches to arrive
was from Mr.. Morton Of New York, who
wired from Rhineclifr, N. Y, as follows:

B McKinley's vote exceeded the expecta-
lions Of his friends, as he received 6611a
votes The nomination was Immediately
made unanimous. Enthusiastic speeches
were made by representatives Of the OPP
posing candidates, and there were the
usual felicitations. Mark Hanna was
obliged in response to calls to address the
convention.
After the decision Of the Platt forces
not to present the name of Morton, owing
to the war waged against him by the War
ner Miller faction, the nomination Of Ho-
bart Of New Jersey became certainty.
The Mckinley influence was thrown for
him, and although there was an attempt
to consolidate the West and South on 81.
Clay Evans of Tennessee, the Mckinley
influence was too powerful. Besides, 1t was
the general sense Of the delegates that the
logic Of the situation required the nomina-
ton Of an Eastern man for vice president.
The nominating speeches were brief.
Buckley Of Connecticut, Lippett of Rhode
Island and Gen. Walker Of Virginia were
also placed in nomination. It only required
one ballot to determine the contest. Hobart
received 53O1a votes, 80 more than ma
jority. Evans, his nearest competitor, re-
ceived 2S0h. There were scattering votes
for Reed, Thurston, Grant, Depew, Morton
and Brown.

M'K1NLEY's RUNNING MATE.
Hobart Is Nominated On the First
Ballot

It was 6:15 when Senator Lodge made the
motion that the convention proceed to the
nomination Of vice president, and that
speeches be limited to five minutes. There
was SO little interest in the second place,
or SO prevalent an appeal for dinner, that
in five minutes the galleries had been de-
serted by two-thirds Of the seat-holders.
Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut was rec
ognized to nominate Gov Buckley, but the
convention had exhausted its enthusiasm SO
that the mention Of the name Of Mckinley
failed to draw handicap. At the end of
the five minutes the crowd called slime
enthusiastically, and the roll call proceeded
until New Jersey was reached, when dele
gates began to cry Hobart" G. L. Ho-
bart was nominated by Franklin Fort Of
Newark. He spoke as. follows:
81 rise to present to this convention the
claims Of New Jersey to the vice presi-
dency. We come because we feel that we
can, for the first time in our history, bring
to you promise that our electoral vote
will be cast for your nominees. II you
comply with our request this promise will
surely be redeemed. For forty years.

dome not cloud foated, the chieftains of
the Republican party, from the pineries Of
Maine to the orange groves Of California;
from the everglades Of Florida to the placid
waters of Puget Sound, met in council to-
DAY and In the presence of about 5000
spectators, entered upon the task Of select.
Ing candidates and enunciating policies for
the campaign Of 1896. The first session of
the Republican national convention was
therefore formal. Chairman Carter, of the
national committee, dropped the gavel at
l2:2O o'clock and sixty minutes later an adj
.Journment was taken until 10 o'clock to-
morrow. There was not jar during the
proceedings, there were no sensational in

thrill the vast concourse of people.
The temporary chairman, G. W. Fair

OF Grant, Lincoln and other heroes of the
past. The galleries to-day were well filed
but not crowded, it being estimated that
about 5000 persons were present. The
campaign clubs which had marched to the
hall to the clangor of martial music were
present in uniform and a very large pro-
portion OF the spectators were ladies. The

is fine looking young woman of 25,
who seems to have a genius for farm
ing. According to Il Georgia paper, she
owns a handsome estate of 1000 acres.
which she cultivates with great skill
and success. Upon it she conducts a
dairy, a stock farm, a cannery, a pre-
serving establishment, % vineyard and
Wine dlstillery and a piggery. Each Of
tnese Is prosperous to a high degree.
The owner is public spirited and ex-
hlblts her products at every fair and
exposition. She began this work in 1888
and in seven years has carried off nearly
100 prizes. She ascribes her success to a
good education and careful reading. She
makes a special study of the application
Of science, particularly chemistry, to
her fields of industry and utilizcs every

An Old Colonial Blockhouse.

Among the attractions of the town Of
Bourne, Mass, are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filled
with goods SO necessary for the comfort
of the early pilgrims as we'll as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as the colony could supply.

that this block house was built as early
