nified and with rather homogeneous
setting there stood upon the platform
during the preliminafies Archbishop
Ryan of the Roman Catholic see at
Philadelphia.
Among the early arrivals in the hall
was Mrs. Roosevelt. She sat in the
front row on the east side OF the hall,
Immediately to the left Of the first
row of delegates. Accompanying her
We're Mrs. William J. Young, wife of the
governors private secretary. and Pro-
fessOr Nicholas Murray Butler of Co

Roosevelt was the cynosure of thou
sands of eyes.
At 1926 Chairman Lodge, with three
raps Of his historic gavel, stilled the
tumult on the floor, while the band
Gshered in the session with the ma
tiOnal anthem, Senator Hanna being
one of the first 10 rise and the entire
audience following as the inspiring
strains reverberated through the build
| ing.
AS the anthem closed, the chairman
announced the opening invocation by
Archbishop Ryan of the Roman Catho-
| lie see Of Philadelphia. The distin-
/ guished prelate wore the superb pur-
/ pie robe of his high station, falling to
/ his feet, and open in front, showing
the heavy chain and cross emblematic
/ of his sect. He paused until the as
! semblage had risen and bowed their
/ heads, and then his strong. rich voice
rolled out a prayer filed with senti-
ment of the deep responsibility rest
! ing upon the party here assembled,
4 and asking that all religious bigOtry be
1 banisbed from the land.
Quay Backs Down.
The chair laid the amendment to the
rules offered yesterday by Mr.. Quay
as the unfinished business before the
| convention.
! AS the cheers died away at the
/ mention Of Quays name the short and
/ sturdy figure of the Pennsylvania
/ arose in the middle aisle. In a thin
1 voice, barely heard at the platform, Mr..
/ Quay announced the 'thdraWal of the
/ amendment proposing -hange in rules
| l and II, referring to 7, presentation in
/ national conventions. This was &C
/ cepted by southern delegates as a con-
cession to them, and they rose en-
/ masse, cheering wildly.
/ Now Mr., Lodge advanced to the front
/ of the platform and d thrill went
/ through the vast audience as he an
nounced: Under the rules, nominations
for the Office of president of the United
| states are now in order"
There was momentary shout which
/ the chairman punCCureu.
The state of Alabama is recognized, -
he said.
A tall and swarthy Alabaman stood
on his chair and by pre-arrangement
answered. Alabama yields to Ohio"
This was the signal for the recOgni-
| ton of Senator Foraker, who was to
make the speech nominating Mr.. Nc
/ Kinley as the Republican candidate for
president Then the cheers began and
a wild scene ensued.
Amidst tumult of applause Senator
Foraker went to the platform and when
quiet was restored began to speak
Foraker Nominates Mckinley.
Senator Foraker said: Alabama Yields
10 OHIO, and | thank Alabama for that
accommodation Alabama has so yielded
however, by reason of d fact that would
seem IN an important sense to make the
duty that has been assigned to me a SUI
perfHOus duty, for Alabama has yielded
because of the fact that our candidate for
the presidency has in fact been already
nominated. (Applause). He was nomi-
mated by the distinguished senator from
Colorado when he assumed the duties OF
temporary chairman. He was nominated
again yesterday by the distinguished SEN
atOr from Massachusetts when he TOOK
the Office of permanent chairman; and he
was nominated for third time when the
senator from Indiana yesterday read us
the platform. tApplause) And not only
VentiOn, but he has also been nominated
by the whole American people. Gap
