permanent organization was then
adopted, and Senator Lodge. the per-
manent chairman, was escorted to the
chair by Governor Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Shaw. Of Iowa. The convention
cheered. Senator Lodge was introduced
and made his speech.
Lodges reference to the policy of the
government toward Cuba and the
Philippines brought out frequent mani
festations of approval. His brilliant
tribute to the American soldiers fight
Ing in the tropics closed with the we'll
rounded sentence: 'They are our
soldiers and we will sustain them"
Then there was great cheering. His
reference to Hawaii and the presence
or representatives of the new acqulsi-
ton brought the delegates to their feet
In lusty greeting to the Hawailans.
When he referred to the "infamy" in
kentucky the delegates from that state
yelled their approval, and the other
states added sympathetic demon
stration. Lodge spoke fifty minutes.
Next came the gravel presentations.
Colonel Childs, of Rhode Island, In a
neat speech, presented historic gavel,
the mahogany from the capitol at
Providence, the bronze from the yacht
Columbia, which defeated the Sham
rock In the International yacht races
last fall. A young delegate from Ken
lucky, John w. Langley, mounted the
platform and in an eloquent little
speech presented another gavel carved
from tree in the valley of the Big
Sandy, beneath which General Garfield
Is said to have knelt at the battle Of
Middle Creek and asked the God of
Battles to give the union forces vic
tory. L. Il. Olson, Of Minnesota, pre-
sented table which had been used at
the Republican national conventions at
Minneapolis and st. Louis. Senator
Lodge received each of these presenta-
tons with a graceful speech.

amendmenttO cut down the representa-
ton of the southern state in future
conventions to a basis Of votes polled
for the Republican candidate, but the

the subject until today.

by the reading and adoption of the
platform, and the naming of national

attention by the vast audience; In fact,
very much more attention than had
any other speaker. "It was not a
great war. 1t did not have to be-" he
said, speaking Of the war with Spain,
and then waited for theripple Of laugh
ter which followed the declaration.
1--WE have done so well that our op-
ponents use 1t as an argument for
turning Us out" he said, smiling and
showing his teeth, and his audience re-
gponded with cheers and laughter. His
illusions to the Ice trust called forth
the heartiest applause, with cries from
the galleries Of shit 'em again." and
"that's right, Teddy"
Challenged the Future.
In conclusion Governor Roosevelt
declared the Republican party and the
American people challenged the future
and they were eager for the labor laid
out for them as If by providence.
Speeches seconding the nomination
were made by Senator Thurston, John
W. Yerkes Of Kentucky, Knight Of
California, Governor Mount and 9TH
ers.
The roll was then called and each

down the roll. The tally clerks quick
~ made the official summary and hand
ed 1t to the chairman. Mr.. Lodge
took the paper, and advancing to the
front of the stage, said:
''The total vote cast is $50. william
Mckinley has received $50 votes. 1t
Is a unanimous vote and the chairman
declares that William Mckinley Is
your nominee for the presidency for
the term beginning March 4, 1901"
Now, again, pandemonium broke
loose in one swelling chorus of enthu-
siasm. Up went the plumes and stand
ards. Up stood the great audience.
The demonstration in honorof the pres
dents nomination lasted five minutes,
and then the chairman called for order
for further events In store.
Roosevelt Placed in Nomination.
Colonel Lafayette Young Of Iowa at
1856 took the platform to nominate
Roosevelt for vice president. When
Mr.. Young named Roosevelt there was

Mckinley and Roosevelt the Choice of the
Convention.
Philadelphia, June 21.-A bright and
cloudless sky with cool and bracing
northeasterly breeze gave ideal condi-
lions Cor the third, and what promised
to be the closing day of the Republic
an national convention. After all the
smoke Of the skirmish Of the last few
days, the convention hosts awoke with
common belief-that Mckinley and
Roosevelt would be the ticket of 1900.
The exciting scenes shortly before mid
night, the conference Of the managers
In Senator Hanna's rooms, the with
drawal Of Long, Dolliver and the dis
appearance of every other obstacle In
the path of ROosevelt's triumphant
nomination, and finally the formal,
measured announcement Of Senator
Hanna that in his judgment, after a
complete review of the conditions,
Governor Roosevelt should be nomin-
ated by acclamation-this series of
events dispelled the very last vestige
Of doubt as to the ticket.
Convention Called to Order.

ton to order at 1898. The prayer was
offered by Archbishop Ryan Of Phila-
dclphia. Ex-senator Quay then arose
and withdrew the amendment he had
offered regarding representation, and
the two rules were adopted as re-
ported.
Senator Lodge announced as the
next order the nomination Of presiden-
tial candidates. Alabama yielded to
Ohio, and Senator Foraker was recog-
n.zed. Amidst tumult of applause
Senator Foraker went to the platform
and when quiet was restored began to
speak, first thanking Alabama for
their courtesy in yielding, but attrib-
uting that fact to the overwhelming
popularity Of the candidate. AS Mr..
Foraker continued he was repeatedly
interrupted with cheers. His an
nouncemen. that the nomination Of
Mckinley was equal to an election in
November brought vociferous cheers.
Briefly Senator Foraker adverted to
the record OF the president In peace
and In war as one Of the most remark
able In American history.
Pandemonium Breaks Loose.
The reference to the great leader Of
the party, the successes already
achieved by him and the grave re-
sponsibilities now being carried for
ward by him, was received with fire.

carried about the hall and the band
played while the convention sang
"There VIII Be a Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight"
Michael ]. Murray of Massachu-
sets seconded Roosevelt's nomination.
J. NJ. Ashton of Washington also Sec
onded Roosevelt's nomination. The
convention called for Depew and the
New York senator was cheered as he
went on the platform.
Roosevelt Declared Nominate cd.
Mr.. Depew made happy speech in
Mr.. Roosevelts favor and then the roll
of states was called for vice presi-
dent. The nomination Of Roosevelt
was unanimous, with the exception Of
one missing vote Of New York-the In
dividuaJ vote Of Roosevelt Senator
Lodge then declared Roosevelt nomi-
mated for vice president. The an
noupcement evoked burst Of ap-
plause that fairly shook the great steel
girdled building to its foundations
Governor Roosevelt, now the candidate
for vice president, was surrounded by
delegates showerlng congratulations
upon him.
On motion of Colonel Dick, Senator
Lodge was placed at the head of the
committee to notify the president Of
his nomination, and Senator Wolcott
at the head Of the committee to notify
the Vice presidential nominee. The
convention then adjourned sine die.

United States, there was never one
gathered together under such hopeful
and suspicious circumstances as those
which surround us today. United,
proud of the achievements of the past
four years, our country prosperous and
happy, with nothing to regret and
naught TO make us ashamed, with q
record spotless and clean, the Repub-
lican party stands facing the dawn"
Continuing he said: 1.-The first and
pleasant duty of this great convention,
as we'll as its instructive impulse, is to
send message of atfectionate greeting
to our leader and our c6untry's presi
dent, William Mckinley. He
has guided us out of the slough of
financial disaster, impaired credit and
commercial stagnation, up to the high
and safe ground of national prosperity
and financial stability. Through the
delicate and trying events of the late
war he stood firm, courageous and con-
sentative, and under his leadership we
have emerged triumphant, our national
honor untarnished, our credit unas-
sailed"
Then he traced the history of the
Republican party since 1896 and eulog-
lied its policies and measures, defend
ed its action in the Philippines and
indorsed the presidents management
of the whole business; declared for
himself and western Republicans that
the money question had been ably
handled and made the issue a dead
one as presented by the Democracy;
spoke Of the prosperity Of the country
as largely the results of tariff and
financial legislation of the Republicans
and gave q synopsis Of the important
legislation put on the books since 1896.
He declared the Republicans would
deal with trusts properly, and contro-
verted the proposition that people liv
Ing on lands acquired by thek United
States became citizens by that acquisi-
ton. In closing he said: 1.-THE Ameri-
can people are neither poltrOons nor
pessimists, and they will not signalize
the dawn Of the new century by the
surrender of either convictions or ter
ritory. Every soldier back from the
islands, and they are in almost every
hamlet in the land, returns an advo-
cate of their retention. Our dead are
buried along the sands Of Luzon, and
on its soil no foreign flag shall ever
salute the dawn"
Wolcott's speech was "punctuated
with applause" from beginning to end,
and when he closed his brilliant Pc
roration storm Of cheers swept the
convention hall A noteworthy Incl
dent of the session was the remark

lor, of Kentucky. That his party as

HIGHWAYS or the country meet With
our cordial approval, and we recon.
mend this subject to the earnest con-
slderation Of the people and OF the
legislatures Of the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural
free delivery service wherever its ex.
tension may be justified.
In further pursuance of the constant
policy of the Republican party to pro.
vide free homes on the public domain,
we recommend adequate national leg
islation to reclaim the arid lands Of
the United States. reserving control of
the distribution of water for irrigation
to the respective states and territories.
We favor home rule for, and the
early admission TO statehood, Of the .
territories of New Mexico, Arizona
and Oklahoma.
The Dingley act, amended to provide
sufficient revenue for the concuct OF
the war, has so well performed its
work that 1t has been possible to re-
duce the war debt in the sum of $780,
100000. So ample are tn govern
ment's revenues, and so great Is the
public confidence in the integrity Of
its obligations that its newly funded
2 per cent. bonds sell at a premium.
The country is now justified In expect
ing and It will be the policy Of the Re
publican party to bring about reduc-
ton of the war taxes.
Government Ownership of Canal
We favor the construction, owner
ship, control and protection of an
isthmian canal by the government of
the United States. New markets are
necessary for the increasing surplus
Of our farm products. Every effort
should be made to open and obtain
new markets, especially IN the orient,
and the administration Is warmly to
be commended for its successful effort
to commit all trading and colonizing
nations to the policy Of the open door
In China. In the interest Of our ex-
panding commerce, we recommend
that congress create a department Of
commerce and industries in the charge
of q secretary with seat in the cab
met The United States consular sys-
tenn should be reorganized under the
supervision Of this new department
upon such basis Of appointment and
tenure as will render it still more serv-
iceable to the nations increasing
trade.
The American government must pro-
tect the person and property Of every
citizen wherever they are wrongfully
violated or placed in peril.
We congratulate the women Of
America upon their splendid record Of
public service in the Volunteer Aid
association, and as nurses in camp and
hospital during the recent campaigns

tuous sea of color.
Roosevelt Recognized.
After the demonstration had lasted
for fifteen minutes Chairman Lodge
raped for order. At II :2S Governor
Roosevelt was recognized. There was
another enthusiastic demonstration
when he took the platform and began

Kinley-wolcott's Speech.
Chairman Hanna's reception when
he called the convention to order and
later when he made a speech was fiat
tering in the extreme and the smile
on his face expressed the pleasure it
gave him. But the joy he experienced
over his own reception seemed moth
Ing compared with the delight he mani
tested when for the first time he men,
toned the presidents nane. The con-
ventlon went off like rocket The ap-
plause was deafening. Hanna's face
was a picture. 1t was wreathed in
smiles. He showed the ecstacy of the
10y he felt over the storm of approval
he had raised. Many, in that moment,
remembered how the presidents War
wick had announced 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.
The opening prayer was by Rev. j.
Gray Bolton, of the Hope Presbyterian
church, this city. When Hanna opened
the convention he said: I'm bidding
you welcome also wish to congratulate

from the Republican party. There was
no mistake in bringing the convention
to Philadelphia. Here was the cradle
Of liberty, the birthplace of the repub.

Then there were ten minutes Of en-
thusiastic uproar, at the end Of which
Hanna concluded his speech, and
gracefully introduced Temporary
Chairman Wolcott. The senator's
speech was extended and was a
paean of praise for the Repub
lican party and the president

history of American politics Hawaii
was called on the roll Of a national
convention. There were loud cheers at
the response or Colonel Samuel Parker,

Among the members of the new ma

of our armies in the Eastern and West
ern Indies, and we appreciate their
faithful cooperation in all works of
education and industry.
Conduct of Foreign Affairs.
President Mckinley has conducted
the foreign affairs of the United States
with distinguished credit to the Amer
lean people. In releasing us from the
vexatious conditions Of European al
lance for the government Of Samoa,
his course Is especially to be CON-
mended. By securing to our undivid-
ed control the most important island
Of the Samoan group, and the best har.
Dor In the southern Pacific, every
American interest has been safe.
guarded.
We approve the annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States.
We commend the part taken by our
government in the peace conference at
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy announced In
the Monroe doctrine. The provisions
OF The Hague convention were wisely
regarded when President Mckinley
rendered his friendly Offices In the In.
terest OF peace between Great Britain
and the south African republic. While
the American government must con-
tinue the policy prescribed by Wash
fngton, affirmed by every succeeding
president and imposed upon us by The
Hague treaty, Of non-interventlon In
European controversies, the American
people earnestly hope that a way may
soon be found, honorably alike to both
contending parties, to terminate the
strife between them.
The War with Spain.
In accepting by the treaty Of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
In the Spanish war, the president and
the senate won the undoubted ap-
prevail Of the American people. No
other course was possible than to de-
stroy Spain's sovereignty throughout
the Western Indies and in the Philip
pine islands.
That course created our responsible
ity before the world and with the I'M
organized population whom our inter-
vent1on had freed from Spain, TO pro-
vide for the maintenance Of law and
order, and for the enlistment Of good
government and for the performance
OF international obligations. Our au-f
thOrity could not be less than our re-
sposnfbility, and wherever sovereign
rights were extended 1t became the
high duty Of the government to main
tain Its authority, to put down armed
instruction and to confer the bless
ings Of liberty and civilization upon ali
the rescued peoples. The largest meas.
ures of .self-government consistent
with their welfare and our duties shall
be secured to them by law. To Cuba
independence and elf-government
were assured In the same voice by
which war was declared, and to the
letter this pledge shall be performed.
The Republican party upon Its his
tory and upon this declaration of its
principles and policies confidently in
vokes the considerable and approving
