stage in the proceedings of the Re
publican state convention at the
Davidson theater, Wednesday. From

duced James G. Monahan for a stir
ring speech at about 1880 until ad-

this rule.
The convention was a big one, and
the standing room-only policy had to
be applied to all visitors on the first
floor of the theater not accommodated
with box seats. The enthusiasm was
quite in proportion to the size of the
convention. The cheers which punct-
uated the speech of Chairman Mona
han rang with the right party spirit,
and the same ring continued at cheer
full intervals through the adoption Of
the resolutions, the election OF the
delegates-at-larg and their alternates.
the nomination of two Presidential
eleetors-at-large and the ratification
of the selections of the congressional
districts representatives for delegates
and electors. That there was no per-
sonal bitterness in the only contest Of
the day was shown by the unanimous
selection of Mr.. Weissert for one OF

that his defeat for the more coveted
position did not deter him from ac-
cepting the lesser honor.
