 All of the states having been called the president stated before the an nouncement of the result that applica- ton had been made on him for recogni- tiOn by the representa- of the de- feated candidates to make a certain motion. He believed it would be the farest way to recognize them in the order in which the nominations had been made.
 He announced that William Mckinley had received 66l12 votes and the scene of an hour before was repeated. Dele gates and spectators arose and cheered and waved flags and banners and the pampaS plumes of California; the band struck up My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and cheers and huzzas rent the air. There was not a single one of the fif- teen or sixteen thousand people Tn the great hall who did not do his or her best to swell the sounds of jubilee, and to join in the grand popular demon- stration in favor of the successful can- didate. The women were as enthusias- tic as the men.
 At last the president got a chance to continue his announcement of the vote. Thomas B. Reed he said, had received S412 votes; Quay 611&; Levi P. Morton 5S; Senator Allison 351$, and Don Cam eron 1.
 Senator Lodge, rising in his delega- tion and standing in his chair, said: MT Chairman: The friends of MT. Reed have followed him with the same 1OI-a ltU which hn o1, elk, himself to country and principle and party. That loyalty they now trans fer to the soldier, the patriot, the Amer ican whom you have nominated here to-day, and on behalf of my own state and I believe of all the other New Eng we pledge great majority in our own states and our assistance in other states and all the help we can render for Will liam Mckinley (Cheers). I move you. sir that the nomination of William Me kinley be made unanimous" (Cheers).
 MT. Tasting of Pennsylvania. who had nominated Senator Quay, seconded the motion to make MT. McKinley's nomination unanimous.
 Thomas c. Platt, on behalf of the state O. New York, also seconded the motion to make William Mckinley's nomination unanimous, and declared that New York would give it's usual, if not double it's usual, majority for the republican candidate.
 MT. Henderson of Iowa also seconded the motion.
 Yielding to vociferous calls for a speech MT. DepeW mounted a chair in the back part of the hall, where the rays Of the sun were beaming on his .countenance, which itself beaming with joy and good humor he said: T am in the happy position now of making a speech for the man who is going to be elected Daughter and applause). It is great thing for an amateur when his first nomination has failed, to come and second the man who has succeeded.
 New York is here without bitter feel ing and with no disappointment We recognize that the waves have sub merged us, but we have bObbed up serenely. Loud laughter). It was q cannon from New York that sounded first the news of McKinley's nomina-, tion. They said of Governor Morton's father that he was a New England clergyman who brought up a family of ten children on $500 a year and was notwithstanding, gifted in prayer. daughter). It does not make any diff ference how poor he may be, how out of work, how ragged, how next door to tramp anybody may be in the United States tonight, he will be gifted in prayer as the result of this convention. Cheers and laughter). There is a prin- cipal dear to the American heart. It is the principle which moves American spindles, starts industries and makes the wage earners sought for instead of seeking employment. That principle is embodied in Mckinley. His personali- ty explains the nomination to-day. And his personality will carry into the pres ldential chair the aspirations of the voters of America, of the families of America, of the homes of America, pro- lection to American industries and America for Americans.

Hanna, from the body Of the hall, responded In a few words which were almost inaudible in the confusion. p1edging himself to take his place in the ranks and work for the election of Mckinley.
