BUILDING WHERE THE CONVENTION MET.

standard There is a strong anti-corpora-
ton plank. The anti-pass plank looms up
biggest of all. 1t forbids the granting of
railroad passes, express or telegraph
franks, or similar favors to public officials,
and makes the offenders, either giver or
receiver, guilty of felony. The ''docile
book" transactions, or advancing of pub
lie funds to State officials, are denounced.
Lastly, there is a demand that the lobby
at Madison, when the Legislature meets.
be suppressed by law. The full text of
the resolutions follows:
The Republicans of Wisconsin in conven-
ton assembled. congratulate the nation up
on its magnificent achievements under the
wise and patriotic policies of the Republi
can party. Its most signal triumphs, both
in peace and in war, since the organization
Of that party have been won under it's rule.
We heartily approve and indorse the ad
ministration of President Mckinley. His
efforts to avert hostiiities with Spain and
gain the desired end through peaceful
means earned for him the approval of all
good men and were wise and right When
war became inevitable his quiet, resolute,
vigorous action demonstrated his thorough
comprehension of the nations needs and
wishes, and when the power Of the enemy
had been crushed and terms of peace were
asked, his magnanimity and sense Of JUS
tice stood forth typifying the noblest traits
of our American character and command
ing the respect and approval of the civilized
world.
We welcome the return of peace, and ex-
press our gratitude and thanks to the brave
men of the army and navy who have main
tanned the honor of our flag, and again
proved TO the world the quality of American
patriotism We extend a joyous welcome
to our returning Wisconsin boys, who have
deservedly gained the highest honors among
the volunteer troops.
We express our perfect confidence In the
administration to wisely and justly con-
cIude terms of peace, having regard for the
welfare Of the Inhabitants of the conquered
territory and the best interests Of our own
people.

CHAPTER VIII

james Moray enters the drawing room
Mt the Firs with anything but an assured
countenance. He is perfectly sober, but
not at all certain of the reception he will
get at his sister-in-law's hands. For the
fact is, he has only entered the house
twice before this-once when his brother
introduced Willy to the notice of his wife,
and again when the child was hastily
conveyed from the lodgings at Holloway
to Brixton. and some false excuse was
made for taking him there at that time
Of night.
He has thought TO make WHY'S pres
ence at the Firs an excuse for inquiring
after the child, in hopes his brother may
ask him to stop and take his Sunday din
ner with them. Little does he think whom
he will encounter in Mrs. William Mo-
rays drawing room. AS he enters at the
door, he makes his way at once up to her.
He holds out his hand to her almost depre-
catingly. She rejects it coarsely.
Don't hotter your hand to me, hif you
please. Mr.. james, for | have found bout
hall your deception for myself"
What does it mean:" he asks, turning
TO his brother. and in turning he sees his
wife and child. Then there is no need e

the convention to order. 1t was reported
to the convention that the committee on
resolutions was not ready to report. A
motion to take a recess for one hour was
defeated An announcement from the
committee on resolutions that it would be
ready in twenty minutes was received
with cheers.
Former United States Marshal George
n. Wiswell was called for to sing his we'll
known convention song, "Old Shady
Chairman Griffin announced that mo-
ton had been made and duly seconded re-
Questing Mr.. Wiswell to sing his song. 1t
was carried with a whoop, and Mr.. Wis
well sang the old song in his inimitable
style, and was greeted with tremendous
applause when he concluded. AS an en-
core he started "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," and the audience rose to it's feet and
joined in with vigor and enthusiasm
that shook the building.
Fully an hour was spent by the coaven-
ton waiting for the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions. Calls were made
for J. G. Monaghan of Darlington, Con
gresham Often, Congressman Cooper
and others, but there was no response.
There was no band and the delegates join
ed in whistling Marching Through
Georgia." 'There'll Be a Hot Time"
Home, Sweet Home etc. Then the Wis
itors on the stage shouted "America' and
the vast audience joined in With enthusi-
asm. AS the glorious melody rolled
through the arches of the big bilding the
audience rose en- nlasse and cheered.

and ditto with Scofield then called forth
cheers from the followers of each.
The Platform.
The committee on platform finally made
its appearance and the document was
read twice, from the stage and in the
rear of the hall, so that all the delegates
could hear and understand it. The report
was signed by eight of the eleven mem
bers Of the committee, and, apart from the
plank indorsing Gov. Scofelds admins

The gathering in the evening was great

filled. More than 1000 people were pres

Big Building Crowded.
Long before 6 O'Clock the main entrance
and the stage entrance to the big EXPOSE
ton building Eere thronged with people
anxious to gain admittance to the night
session Of the convention. When the doors
were opened there was grand rush, and
the space reserved for visitors was soon
filed up The immense gallery surround
ing the hall was packed. as were also all
the aisles and entrance ways on the main
floor leading to the railed-in space occu-
pied by the delegates.

| Milwaukee special:
| After one of the most interesting con-
| tests that have ever taken place in a Re
| publican convention in Wisconsin, Gov.
! Scofeld was chosen as candidate for re-
election, at Milwaukee Wednesday night.
| He was nominated over his opponent, La
| Toilette, on the first ballot by vote of
62O to 1876.
When the result was announced there
was period Of wild cclebra ton. Then
| the informal ballot was made formal the
| Governor was declared renopinated, and
| adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock
| Thursday morning.
The convention was called to order
| shortly after the noon hour, with every
delegate in his place. In the number of
| delegates it was equal to a national con-
| vention, and made an imposing array of
| political talent.
| &. d. Coe, chairman of the State CEN
trail committee, put his gavel arm into
| action promptly on time. Secretary John
NJ. Ewing read the State central commit
tees report on the contests from Dodge
and Portage counties. Then the roll was
called by counties. Out of the ,O67 dele
gates only nine were reported absent and
these came on a later train. Mr.. COe then
presented for temporary chairman Gen.
Michael Griffin Of Eau Claire. After his
speech and the appointment of the usual
committees recess until $50 o'clock was
taken.
The La Toilette leaders were too busy
to eat during recess. They hitched their
belts a couple of notches tighter and went
at the opposition some more. Everybody
expected a clinch and an od-fashioned
rough-and-tumble tussle during the after
noon, so the crowd was bigger than ever
on reassembling. But it was good
natured crowd and tractable in the hands
of numerous and industrious staff Of
badge-bedecked sergeants-at-arms and
doortenders.
Beginning of the Fight.
Temporary organization was made per-
manent. An item or two of routine was
dispatched. There was a momentary
pause, and then every neck was craned to
see the first blow struck. The La Toilette
men were wanting time. The Scofeld
men hankered for an immediate ballot for
candidate.
"NIr. Chairman said Fred bennett Of
Port Washington, the Scoield leader on
the floor, Il move you that we proceed
Immediately to the nomination Of candi-
date for Governor"
"Out of order" Mr.. Leopold of Milwau-
kee shrieked, above chorus of noes. I'VE
must have platform first"
But the chairman killed Mr.. Leopold's

Collected by Sergeant Hermann Hobbs Of tho

was mustered out OF the service with
the corps at Portland Thursday, and IS
visiting his old frie nds for tie first
time since NE left ere in June. He
will be remembered a. the manager of
the Postal Telegra Oh Office here for
severa. months prior to his joining IF
Signal Corps.
Mr.. Hobbs has great collection of
Spanish buttons that ne collected when
at Santiago, and his frie nds are having
a chance to see the many different de-
signs worn by the sold iers. Some of
the buttons were obtained from the
from the stores about the city where
they We're kept in stock He has sew
eraI gold plated ones that We're worn
by Off GERS. Others are of silver but
the mort are the ordinary nickel and

He had many souvenirs of which he
thought a great deal, but they were
lost while me was in the hospitals upon
his return to the United States. His
camera was among the things that
were lost. LAll that was saved of his
effects was the clothes he wore and
what they contained. Mr.. Hobbs is
still suffering from his service. as he
contracted fever anC malaria, and even
now he has a chill about every other
night. He Is recovering slowly from
the effects of the great doses of qunine
that We're administered, but his hear
ing is still far from what it formerly
was He can hear a telegraph instru-
ment all right. but is greatly bothered
about using telephone. One of the
distinctions that Mr.. Hobbs enjoys Is
| that of being the member of the corps
who sent to Washington the official
report of the surrender of Santiago.
