Continued from First Page.)

Pandemonium broke loose in one
swelling cheer of enthusiasm for the
candidate. Up went plumes and stand
ards. The bands played Rally Round
the Flag" and the Hamilton club of
Chicago marched dow the aisle, pre-
coded by the New York delegation and
followed by Pennsylvania. A huge coun-
%terfeit of an elephant was brought into
the hall. Around his neck were entwined
garlands of flowers. Laughter and APP
plause were mingled as the great en-
blem was borne about. The demonstra-
ton lasted five minutes.
ROOSEVELT NOMINATED.
Chairman Lodge then recognized Col.
LATE Young, editor of the Des Moines
Ua.) Capital, who withdrew Dolliver
as a candidate for vice president and
nominated Roosevelt.
Colonel Young was in Cuba at the
time Roosevelt led the gallant rough
riders up San Juan hill, and his refer
ence to the governors campaign was
eloquent and touching. The demonstra-
ton which followed the announcement
by Colonel Young of Governor Roose-
welt as a candidate of the young men of
the country. who represented their de-
sires and ambitions, and embodied their
patriotism and Americanism, was not
second to that accorded the presidents
name. The vast assemblage sprang to
its feet. The state emblems, pampas
plumes, handkerchiefs and hats fairly
filled the air. The band played 'There'll
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To
Night and the delegates began march
ing around the hall, filing past Govern
or Roosevelt and extending him con-
gratulations.
A TREMENDOUS OVATION.
A woman in the Utah delegation pre-
scented him with a big bunch of loses,
for which Roosevelt returned a pro-
found bow. Several Kansas delegates
threw their beautiful silk suntlower
badges at Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt

The demonstration continued six min

Of Murray, Gen. James M. Ashton, of
Washington, also seconded the nomina
ton.
"Depew! Depew!" demanded the del
agates. The New York senator emerged
from the delegation, Governor Roose-
welt himself taking him by the arm and
urging him forward to the platform. He
paid a magnificent impromptu tlibute
to the hero of the hour. He was in good
humor as we'll as in good voice. and his
touch of jocosity in reference to Tied

He pictured the dude becoming

When Depew sought to close there were
demands to go on" and he proceeded
in dealing with the glorious record of
the party. His sarcastic references to
the Kansas City convention n to
George Washington Aguinaldo brought
round after round of applause. He

Bryan had been body snatching" the
reviving corpse of free silver at 16 to

rious theme, the orator recounted the
glories of the administration already
achieved, and those awaiting the Union
with two such Incompatible leaders as
Mckinley and Roosevelt. His closing
period, declaring Roosevelt's choice
would be unanimous, touched off a
whirl of excitement. ROOSEVELT" Ted

shaking his head. 1t took some minutes
to restore order. During the roll-call
the delegates and spectators, realizing
that the conventions action would be
