followed by singing John Browns S

welt rose with the rest, but stood silent
with both hands in his pockets. But
when Foraker came down the aisle he
grasped him by the hand and slapped
him on the shoulder laughing aloud.
ROOSEVELT SPEAKS.
1t was exactly fifteen minutes when
order was restored and Lodge an
nounced that the "chair recognizes
Governor Roosevelt of New York"
Again the magic of the name set the
multitude into convulsions of enIhusi-
asm. Roosevelt strode up to the plat
form. He made no Acknowledgements
like as if he was receiving his due he
calmly awaited the subsistence Of the
tumult At last he raised his hand, and
the demonstration came to an enc. He
wore a black . taway coat, dark
striped trousers, a turn down collar and
blue necktie. AS he governor faced
about on the platform a man with a
camera planted his instrument directly
in front of him. AS Roosevelt saw it he
said sharply: Take that away! Take
it away" The sergeantat-arms rushed
the man and his apparatus out of the
aisle. Then Governor Roosevelt began
his speech, speaking in clear full yoice.
His sentences were delivered in man
ner that denoted the careful study of

for he was given the closest attention
by the vast audience in fact, very
much more attention than had any 9TH

of the war with Spain, and then waited
for the ripple of laughter which follow :

that our opponents use it as an argu-
ment for turning us out" he said, sml-
ing. showing his teeth. The audience
responded with cheers and laughter.
His illusions to the ice trust called
forth the heartiest applause, with cries
from the galleries: "Hit 'em again!"
That's right, Teddy!" "I pity the
Democratic orator of New York who
mentions trusts" he declared with up
lifted hands, and the audience howled
with laughter and shook the door with
applause. 1.-THE insurrection in the
Philippines goes on because the insur-
rectionary allies of the Tagalos in dis
tant Luzon," he continued, "have given
the insurrectionists their moral If not
their physical support" When he de-
clared with brilliant emphasis that the
success Of the Republican party in No
vcmber meant peace in the Philippines,
while success Of the opposition meant
the prolongation of the struggle, dele
gates and spectators rose almost as one
man and cheered. After recounting the
achievements Of the United States in
the far-off islands, and presenting in
a sentence the claim of this country up
on the archipelago, Governor Roosevelt
demanded amid thunderous' applause:
"ls America Weakans, that she
should shrink from the work of a great
world power? Giant of the west, like a
gladiator of old, looks into the future
with hope. with expectancy. which the
love of all her institutions have made
dear to u.s." tremendous applause.)
In conclusion, 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. The closing
words of Governor Roosevelt brought
another demonstration, and for a min
ute it seemed as If the convention would
go mad, and then and there make two
nominations instead of one. Plumes
went up and standards again left their
sockets to be waved on high. AS the
governor left the platform he waved
a salutation to the moving throng, and
one in particular toward the radiant
face Of his wife sitting just outside Of
the area of delegates.
Gradually the convention came back
to quiet. The chairman recognized Sem
ator Thurston for speech seconding
the nomination Of the president.
THE NOMINATION SECONDED.
The senator's deep organ-like barry
tone reverberated through the structure
and was easily distinguishable In the
remotest corner. He pictured the pres
ident as soldier on many hard-fought
fields, as a statesman in the halls of
congress, and as president directing the
destinies Of the nation. "Our president
now, our president to be again."
John w. Yerkes. Of Kentucky, second
ed the nomination on behalf OF the
south. He asserted that no convention
had ever been so unanimous for a man
as this for Mckinley. His state was go
ing to stay in the Republican column,
he said. and the audience cheered.
Disregarding the calls for vote,
Lodge recognized George Knight, head
of the California delegation. His hu-
morous, pungent arraignment or the
Democratic party for its attitude upon
national questions provoked frequent
laughter.
Next Governor Mount Of Indiana Sec
onded the nomination of Mckinley in a
glowing eulogium Of the statesman SOL
dier president.
NOT A DISSENTING VOTE.
As he closed the chairman announced
that the roll Of states would be called
for vote on the nomination of presi-
dent. At 1887 the vote began. There
was no unusual demonstration among
the delegates until New York's vote
was announced by Chairman Odell.
This brought out a round of applause
When Pennsylvania's vote was an
nounced by Senator Quay many delega-
tions cheered. Some states were not
content in casting votes for Mckinley
but the chairman announced the vote
