Beamed with Smiles over the ROus-
ing Cheers For Mckinley.
Though Chairman Hanna's recep-
tiOn was flattering in the extreme, the
enjoyment he experienced over his own
reception seemed nothing compared
with the delight he manifested when
for the first time he mentioned the
presidents name. The convention
went of like rocket. The cheering
was deafening, the Ohio delegation
leading in the demonstration. Mr..
Hanna's face showed the ecstacy of the
JOY he felt over the storm of approval
he had raised. Perhaps it was sig
nificant that in his speech Mr.. Hanna
made no mention of Cuba or any
thing which could furnish a peg on
which a Roosevelt demonstration
could be hung.
Chairman Hanna then introduced
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, as tenn
porary chairman. and that eloquent
orator reused his $4,000 auditors to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm as he
sounded the keynote for the cam
paign Of 1900. Senator Wolcott's ad-
dress lasted an hour and ten min
utes. 1t undoubtedly added to. the
brilliant Colorado senator's reputation
as an orator. With a clear, ringing
voice, that reached the most remote
spot Of the hall. and with graceful
gesture he brought all under his spell.
Time and again his hearers broke into
cheers as he spoke of the present pgos-
perity Of the country and predicted Nc
Kinley's triumphant reelection. And
when he declared that the Democratic
party had been driven by the events
Of the last four years from every po-
sition it occupied in 1885 to seek new

Need of Bridge.
no substitute

The question OF spanning the Potomac
River at Wiliamsport by means Of an
iron bridge has again been revived. and
the interest in the proposed project. both
on the West Virginia side and on the
Maryland side is manifestly much greater
than ever before. A few prominent GEN
tlemen OF Wiiliamsport have taken the
matter in hand and will solicit subscrip,
tons from the farmers and business men
OF Washington and Berkeley counties.
1t is stated that an excellent bridge can
be erected at cost of from $4,000 10
S45 600, and it is the object of the pro-
motors to nave the stock OF the proposed
company owned by local investment
There would be no trouble whatever in
getting SUBSCRIPTIONS from capitalists in
Baltimore and other cities. but they will
not be called upon to invest unless it is
found that the stock cannot be placed
locally. An effort will be made to pro-
cure a contribution from the States of
West Virginia and Maryland on the
ground that bridge across the river there
would be OF inestimable value to the bust
ness and farming interests of both States.
Should this fail local stock company
viii be formed and the project pushed
forward with all possible rapidity.
