The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-06-19

|GOOd-Dye my lover; goodbye,
shrieked a hippant gallery occupant.
The names were read. Senator Cam
non folded his document, deliberately
turned, and reaching across the desk,
grasped Thurston by the hand.
Teller did the same.
The two shook hands with Foraker,
and turned towards the steps leading
down to the right hand centre aisle.
Meantime, men, women and children
from the pit to the last tiers of the
galleries had climbed upon their chairs.
SILVER MEN WALK OUT.
AS Teller and Cannon stepped into
the aisle, dozen silver colleagues rose
and followed them.
AS the file of steTn-faced men march.
ed along the pathway to the door yell
went up before which every other out
break of the day paled into silence.
| 1t was a nOn-descriptial shout in which
| admiration, defiance, division and rage
| were joined. The band in the highest
gallery broke into the tumult, but its
brazen changing made no impression
| on the vocal storm, and was drowned
| in it. Finally, when the shout had
| somewhat subsided, the noise of the
band asserted itself by degrees in the
| shape of the melody Columbia, the
| Gem of the Ocean"
Twice or three times the strain was
repeated, and then voice took up the
| words.
Three cheers for the red, white and
| blue" and then by degrees the whole
| assembly took up the chorus, which
was a magnificent burst, and sang,
| ''The Army and Navy Forever"
| Three cheers for the red, white and
| blue"
| The stanZas were sung by the chorus
| of 10000, and the band, firing of its
work, dropped out of the song. Mean
| time, the file of saver men had disap-
| peared beyond the bust of Grant be-
| fore the main entrance. But still the
| crowd stood on their chairs and sang.
| Verses were sung again and again, per-
| haps a score of times, for men had lost
| count of time, and were waving their
| arms and embracing their neighbors
and fighting for something to swing
| above their heads as though they had
gone stark crazy. 1t was only pure
| physical exhaustion that finally
brought the house by degrees back into
| chairs.
| I'm few moments the Chair found a
| lulling place in the applause, to say,
"A gentleman from Montana who did
| not go, wants to address you"
He was Lee Mantle, of Montana.
| When he could be heard, he said he had
| with those who retired, personal OBJ
| lection to the gold plank, but that
while his people objected to it, and re-
served the right with their constitu-
ents to enter a protest, still he did not
believe that it was necessary to leave
| at this juncture. There were other
great issues that the Republican party
| should carry out, and he should stand
| to that extent. He would refer the con-
vention's platform to the people of
| Montana for decision. 4
When he had finished. Chairman
! Thurston recognized Senator Brown,
of Utah. Senator Brown said that
while he joined his silver colleagues
| in their protest against the reading of
| silver out of the party, still he believed
| shat there were greater issues than
even the financial supremacy of the
| Countrywide tariff, our marine and
many other things talked about in the
| party. He then moved that the conven-
| tion allow three alternates 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.
| F. Burleigh, of the State of Washing
| ton, who said that his State looked
| upon the issues and Mckinley and pro-
lection as greater questions than the
| simple one of a financial standard,
M'KINLEY PUT IN NOMINATION..
The regular order of business was
| then demanded, and the chair called
| for the naming of the State delegation
| chairmen.
| The convent ton quieted down and at
| this juncture the chairman called upon
| the secretary for a list of the National
committeeman selected
THE next business is the call Of the
roll of States for the nomination for
President" announced Mr. Thurston
at ? o'clock
The roll was called. names were I'M
| answered which had seldom been pass
ed before in Republican conventions
Illinois sand lndiana-and the mono
| tony was broken only when General
Henderson rose at the call of Iowa to
announce that Chas. II. Baldwin, of
Council Bluffs, would speak for that
State. Mr.. Baldwin, a stout, smooth
faced man, strode to the stage, and
placed Senator Allison in nomination.
Congressman Hepburn had tempor-
arily taken Thurston's gavel when
Baldwin finished. When the State of
Maine was reached Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,, came
forward and presented the name of
Thomas b. Reed.
One enthusiastic admirer unfolded
a great banner containing a huge
picture of Speaker Reed, with these
words: Nothing to eXplain-true from
the first"
AS he flung the banner out from the
galleries the Reed men began to shout:
'Reed, Reed, Thomas b. Reed" But
the demonstration lasted not over a
minute.
Henry Cabot Lodge, who gained a
name in literature before he did in
politics, is strong, handsome, athletic
man, scarcely more than forty. His
