REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH IN NO
VENEER.
Senator Wolcott has a clear, resonant
/ voice which penetrated TO the furthest
recess OK the hall. He speaks. however,
with great fapidity and this perhaps
somewhat spoiled the effect Of his
speech But the thousands before him
were In thorough sympathy and he had
no difficulty In striking a responsive
| chord When, with outBtretched arm
| he predicted the triumphant election OF
/ the Republican ticket In November the
audience surrendered, and when he first
mentioned President McKinleys name
| he could not proceed for a minute ow-
/ ing TO the demonstration. AS he re-
hearsed the history OF the four years
| Of Republican administration, the
/ prosperity which has blessed il, the VIC
/ tories It had won, the glorious outcome
| of the Spanish-Amerlcan war, the cam.
palgn In connection with the Philip
| pines which It's enemies had lnaugu-
rated and which It had met, the con-
| vention repeatedly broke into applause.
II was a key note speech covering the
| legislation which had been placed on the
/ statute books and It's note was the pros
perity OF this country and the legisla-
/ tlon which had made It's continue don
/ possible, That was the theme 10 which
| the demonstrations Of the conven ton
| chung. When he said Of the old issue
| Of the Democrats that they were driven
| 20 find new issues In a war which
! they had been most anxious 10 pre-
/ cipitate the convention rose at him, but
| the outburst was even greater when he
| declared that the division among the
Republicans Of the East and the West
| on the financial issue was thing Of the
! past and that those who had left the
| party four years ago IN the West were
| returning on the issue OF expansion.
! The first mention OF expansion was also
the signal for a demonstration
Senator Wolcott concluded his speech
at 2:12 D. m.
APPLAUSE FOR WoLCOTT.
The Indiana delegation started the
! applause when Senator Wolc0tt an,
| nounced that he thleying pOst0tlice
| officials In Cuba would be hunted down.
Probably the greatest demonstration
| occurred when he said that we would
| establish law and order IN the Philip
pines. and that the last thing 10 be
! considered was TO give up the Islands.
The delegates got on their feet and
| cheered when he declared that our
| soldiers were buried In the sands OF
/ Luzon and We would never give up the
| soil that held our dead.
! He spoke an hour and ten minutes,
! and as his brilliant perorati0n closed,
| there was another enthusiastic demon
| strauon Of applause, the delegates
| standing on chairs and waving hats,
umbrellas and handkeTchiefs while at
/ the same time the band added the en-
liyenng strains Of a patriotic air.
Mr.. Payne OF New York, an
| bounced the chairman, and again all
| eyes turned 10 the center OF the hall
/ where this time the chairman Of the
ways and means committee was seem
| He moved that the rules " the last
convention prevail until other rules
were adopted, and this prevailed With
out dissent.
/ The call Of the roll Of states, for the
submission Of members Of the various
committees. then began. II proved a
| tedious process, and the convention was
| virtually in recess as the names were
handed in.
ROOSEVELT Is POPULAR.
While the lists were being brought
| TO the stage. Governor Roosevelt was
holding a regular levee In the pit. Dele
| gates swarmed toward him from all
/ directions. The New Mexico delegates
| with broad sombreros climbed over the
seats In their eagerness 10 get 10 him
and shake his hand
People leaned over the rail Of the pit
| watching his every movement
When order had been restored, after
! the confusion incident TO this scene
| Mr.. Wolcott announced that the secre-
tary would read the lists Of the various
committees. These committees, he an
nounced could meet after the adjourn
ment OF tOday's session.
