that his chances are bright. With Roose
Welt out of the way apparently they have
not feared the canvass made by Repre-

Lieutenant Governor Woodruff.
On Sunday the Massachusetts delegation

visit delegations from other States IN the

Dental situation with Colonel Roosevelt
out of the field. They seem to think that
the Administration In such an event would
be extremely friendly to the Secretary Of

nomination would be exceedingly good.

cure much consideration from the fact
that William NJ Plunkettt. of North

of Secretary Longs canvass. is a personal
friend of President Mckinley. On two or
three occasions. when Major Mckinley

The delegates from Massachusetts held
several meetings today at which the sub
committees reported progress. At one of

PHILADELPHIA. June 21.-The second

Convention was a short one. 1t began at
noon and ended shortly after o'clock,

nevertheless interesting for they develop

man Of today's session was Matthew Stan

man was Theodore Roosevelt. Governor OF
New York. But in the matter of cheers.
Mr.. Quay was far ahead of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Whether the cheers for Mr.. Quay we're
an evidence of local feeling or not no one
can determine. But that he was yocifer-
ously applauded there Is not the slightest
doubt. Every time that Mr.. Quay took
hand in the proceedings he was cheered-
When Governor Roosevelt entered the
Convention he was received with resound-

Mr.. Dolliyer had the strongest following
among the delegates
They thought that under such circum-

States would embrace the cause of DolIi

The Iowa delegation met in secret ses-

thoroughly discussing the Vice Presiden-

Just why they do 1t. no one knows, but
there is always a clique in Republican
National Conventions who believe it to
be necessary to applaud the prayer. This
was done yesterday, and it was repeated
today. Temporary, Chairman Wolcott, as
