continued with scarcely a lull for ten
minutes. Chairman Lodge began to
rap for order, but the ring of his

gate shouted above the roar, ''Three
cheers for Mark Hanna They were
given with will. Then a delegate,
with Ohio's standard in his hand,
dlved into the main aisle and went
careening toward the rear, to the mu-
sic of "John Browns Body Lies

bearers of the standards of the other
states plunged after him. Down the
aisle they swung starting the whole
storm afresh. When they reached the
main entrance they We're met by men

the forerunner of the pandemonium

went off again like a rocket. AS he

while he waited for the storm to

sight of his wife who sat in the re

plunged directly to the heart of his
subject in the impetuOus way which
the people so much admire. His first
statement was that he rose to second
the nomination of William Mckinley
who had faced more problems than
any president since Lincoln. The
convention got on it's feet and it was
several minutes before he could pro-
coed. Every movement and every
word was characteristic of the man.
He looked, spoke and acted like one

to go into battle. When he reached his

Mckinley was unanimously renomi-

an hour and ten minutes later Gov.
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
was unanimously selected to stand
beside him in the coming battle. The
scenes attending the selections were

scorn in his voice asked if America
was a weakling to shrink from the
world work of the world powers the
whole pit echoed mo in chorus
When he concluded and resumed his
seat in the New York delegation the
other delegates rushed forward and
surrounded him. Many embraced him
and it seemed for moment as if they
would lift him to their shoulders.
Then the roll of states was called
and delegation after delegation rose
in solid blocks and cast their votes
for Mckinley. When Chairman Lodge
made the announcement that the
president had been renominated for
the term beginning March 4, 1901,
there was the same wild storm which
had been raised by Foraker and when
it was over Roosevelt's nomination
for the vice presidency evoked a sue
cession of similar demonstrations.
LATE Young, of Iowa, who was with
Roosevelt in Cuba, nominated him on
behalf of the state which had orig
inally come to Philadelphia for Do1li-
yer. During every pause the band
played but one air, the tune which
Col. Roosevelt had heard in the
trenches before Santiago.
At 2:14 o'clock the convention,
which had done the unparalleled thing
of nominating both the candidates
for president and vice president unan-
imously, adjourned.
What the Platform Declares

HI REMEMBERS TOPEKA
Wheeler Was Seriously Injured by
Frederick Warde at the Crawford.

MI. S. B. Wheeler, the young man who
has unfortunately been cast in the
heavy parts of the attractions now
being produced by the Talk & Veronee
has a particular remembrance
of Topeka. He has been here before,
and as long as he lives will never forget
his last visit. There is a deep scar
ACROSS his scalp which serves to remind
him of it.
Six years ago Mr.. Wheeler was play
ing in the Legitimate with Frederick
Warde. When the company reached
the Crawford theater in this city "Rich-
ard III" was the bill. 1t was during
the performance that Wheeler had To-
peka indelibly impressed on his mind.
He was fencing with Mr.. Warde when
his guard slipped, and he caught the full
force of the blow on the top of the head.
The sword laid open the scalp to the
bone, and knocked him ~insensible.
The Topeka people who were present
at the performance remember the in
cident. Wheeler was picked up and car
ried off the stage with blood streaming
from the wound At first it was thought
that he was fatally injured, but after a
six weeks stay in a Kansas City hos
pital, where he was taken, he was sutfi-
GENTLY recovered to take to the stage
again.
Mr.. Wheeler is one of a number of
stage people who volunteered for service
during the Spanish-American war, ana
he saw service with General Miles in
Porto Rico.

Only in one instance was the tragedian
able to utilize his old material. The SUI
