The friends of ]. r. Addicks, of Della
ware. were in evidence when Mr.. Payne
read of the victory of the Addicks over the
Dupont faction in that State. The report
read. Mr.. Payne demanded the previous
question. Senator Sewell. on behalf of New
Jersey. and Mr.. Martin. on behalf of Indi-
ana, seconded the demand. which was or
dered. According to the rules under which
the convention was operating, twenty min
utes on a side was allowed for debate. but
no one demanded the floor. and the report
was put through with a whirI. The conven-
ton, which evidently felt relieved at this
quick disposition of the contests, signihed
its approval with applause.

1.-The chair announces as a committee to
escort Henry Cabot Lodge 20 the chair" an
nounced Senator wolcott. Governor Shaw,
of Iowa. and Governor Theodore Roose-
welt, of New York" A cheer went up,
strong and long continued. as this group
of names fell from the chairman's lips.
Apparently Governor Roosevelt had not
expected to be thus designated. and his
face showed signs of annoyance With
Governor Shaw. he stepped TO Mr.. Lodges
seat, and with the permanent chairman
between them, marched up the platform.
The cheers echoed continuously until Mr..
Lodge, after greeting Mr.. Wolcott, turned
TO the audience and began his address.
