j Gradually the convention became quiet
and the chairman recognized Senator
Thurston for a speech seconding the nom

I SENATOR THURSTON HEARD.
The Senator's deep, organ-like baritone
reverberated through the structure, cas-
lily distinguishable in the remotest cor

statesman in the halls of Congress and as
President directing the destinies of a ma

kentuckian with a strong voice and his
speech was heard all over the hall
When Mr.. Yerkes had concluded he was
given salvo of applause that echoed

/ he turned to resume his seat on the plat
form, Senator Hanna rose and cordially
grasped his hand. Almost instantly from
all parts of the hall came the cry, vote,
vote, vote" Delegates and spectators
were becoming uneasy. They wanted ac-

| The FESTIVE listeners broke in with many
demonstrations and calls of Voter and
Chairman Lodge was kept busy with MS
g&vel trying to maintain sufficient order
for the speaker to be heard. AS he closed
/ the convention again demanded a vote
and the chairman announced that the roll

vote began.
ROLL CALL OF STATES.
| During the call of States for votes on
4 the Presidential candidate the galleries
were noticeably attentive, and there was
no unusual demonstration among the del
/ egates until New York's vote was an
nounced by Chairman Odell. This brought
out a round of applause. When Pennsyl-
vana's vote was announced by Senator
Quay, many of the delegations arose and
cheered
| Some of the States were not content
with castinga their votes for Mckinley,
but the chairmen announced the vote
which the candidate would receive In No
vember. When Hawaii was called, the
delegates stood up and cheered the an
nouncement of its vote of two for Nc
Kinley.
The secretary. hurrledly made the sum
mary and handed it to the chairman.
Senator Lodge took the paper and, ad-
vancng to the front of the stage, said:
