wreathed in smiles He showed the &C.
stacy of the Joy he felt over che storm
OF approval he had raised. Many, in that
moment, remembered how the Presidents
Warwick had announced a year ago that
his ambition would be satisfied and his
cup of joy would be full when he called
together the convention that would re-
nominate Mckinley Perhaps it was sig
nihcant that in his speech Mr.. Hanna
made no mention of Cuba or anything
which would furnish a peg on which a
Roosevelt demonstration could be hung.
WoIcOtt Won Applause.
The address of Senator wolcott, the
temporary chairman. which followed, last
ed an hour and ten minutes 1t undoubt-
edly added to the brilliant Colorado SEN
ator's reputation as an orator The key
note he sounded-an account of the stew
ardship of the party-was as much for the
reading millions scattered over the couTS
try as for the few thousands who heard il
and ii was a difficult role for fiery and
magnetic speaker to essay. Senator VOL
colt would be at his best speaking in the
opportunity of the moment. Yet the ef-
feet he produced to-day thrilled his audi
ence. With a clear. ringing voice that
reached the remotest spot of the hall end
with graceful gesture he brought all un-
der his spell. Time and again his hear
ers broke into cheers as he spoke of the
present prosperity of the country and pre-
dicted McKinley's triumphant re-elec ion.
And when he declared that the Demo-
cratic party had been driven by the events
OF the last four years from every posi-
tion it occupied in 1896 to seek new issues
in the events of the war with Spain there
was another frantic outburst.
The same enthusiasm swelled out when
he predicted that this generation, which
had witnessed our recent acquisitions
would see the American nation grdng
half the globe with its flag extending its
commerce TO the uttermost ends of The
earth and taking its place as a world
power among the great world natlons-''a
power for good, for peace and for right
eousness."
But the climax was reached when he
lifted up his voice and declared that our
dead were buried in Luzon, and that on
rs soil no foreign flag should ever salute
the dawn. In his splendid peroration he
declared that the Republican party iden-
tihed for forty years with everything en-
nobling and uplifting in our history was
never so vital, virile and vigorous as
to-day and that with untarnished record
it would transmit to posterity an undy-
ing love of liberty and of country.
