y spacious annex is to be built TO the
jefferson. Just how soon is not q matter
Of certainty. but that work viii begin by
the spring seems to be assured. Details
OF TIE proposed addition have not only
been discussed between NJ. f. Merri-
whether Fry. the general manager OF the
hotel. and Mr.. George Eirents. its priu-
cipaI owner, but they were talked over
by NIr. Fry, and Major Lewis Glnter in
1897
Major Ginter, whose public generosity
and keen business foresight led him 70
build the jefferson several times .ex-
pressed himself concerning the future OF
his magnificent hotel. He said he would
be entirely satisfied il the jefferson should
earn running expenses during the first
five years Of its existence He did not
live TO see the Jefferson reach this stage
Of business success. but in 1888 and 1899
the hotel paid expenses, and it is under
stood that surplus was left.
CHARACTER OF ANNEX
TIE general character OF the proposed
addition to the Jefferson it is known.
will conform to that of the present build
cu0ied by the two houses Just east of
the hotel, Main street and will run
back as far as the boiler-room on the
alley between Franklin and Grace Streets
Some time ago these lots were purchased
by Major Ci!nter's executors with a view
Of building this annex some time in the
near future and an option was secured
on the house of the late General Peyton
Wise. It was the original intention to
erect at the northwest corner of Adams
and Main Streets the splendid theatre
TO be erected by Mr. Areuts at TIE south
east corner OF Adams and Main, but this
was abandoned, for the property mentioned
would be needed for the Motel annex.
THE. CONVENTION ilMI1I4
Before Major CfTnter',s death. Mir Fry
the manager of the jefferson, spoke to
him concerning the future of the h6tel.
Said he one day:
Major C;inter. Richmond is essentially
q convention city since we have this hotel
and we should convert the roof garden
into a convention hall"
'fDo YOU believe the roof garden would
prove a greater success as Il convention
haiI?'' asked Major Cituter.
II do. sir" responded Mr. Fry.
81 will ask Mr.. Arents to faills with you
about this matter" said Major GiDter.
The philgnthrcptsr shortly afterwartf
died bur Mr. Arents and Mr.. Fry did talk
over the convention hall subject and the
convention hail soon took The place of the
roof garden which was not profitable hi

banquet ct the Jefersonian Club of Lin
coin tonight nttne Lincoln Hotel, brought
together nearly three hundred representa-
tive men of the Democratic and Populist
parties Of Nebraska, together with a num-
Der of leaders from ether States. William
j. Bryan made his first appearance at a
public gathering since the eleotion, and the
greeting accorded him was never more
hearty and spontaneous in his home city.
The speech of John ". Kern, defeated
Democratic candidate for Governor of In
dDna, aroused the banqueters 70 a high
Fitch OF enthusiasm by laudation of Mr..
Bryan and outspoken criticism OF those
Democrats whom he accused of contrlbut-
ine, to his (Bryan's) defeat HIS denuncia-
ton OF Democrats who offered 'Sratitlous
counsel to Democracy" though he men
toned no names, :WsGs accepted OE the
crowd as a reference to former President

without using the direct influence of
the administration at Washington.
This he could not get. The president
would have no hand in the effort to
control the convention and then Hanna
reluctantly abandoned. the fight With
his retirement from the contest against
the empire state governor both nomi-
nations could have been made before
the convention adjourned yesterday.
The original program was to renomi-
nate Mckinley yesterday and nominate
candidate for vice president today
But the national committee had made
compact with the Philadelphia COM
mittee to keep the convention
here three days and it was
feared if the nomination for pres
ident were made yesterday
the convention might take the bit in
it's teeth and wind up the proceedings
before dark. All preparations for the
presidents denomination had been per-
fected. Hundreds of red, white and
blue pampas plumes attached to long
staffs had been taken down into the
delegates pit before the convention
met and stored away against the mo-
ment when the climax should be
reached, and recalled the magnificent
scene at st. Louis four years ago. But
the immense throngs which blackened
the vast ampitheater were compelled
to content themselves with routine in
cidents connected with organization,
an grafton by Senator Lodge, the per-
manent chairman, and the adoption of
the platform. 1t was a great disap-
pointment to most of them as it did
not afford them an opportunity to let
off steam.
There was not the slightest jar. At
one point when the convention scraped
on a sand-bar over a proposition adj
vanced by ex-senator Quay to cut down
the representation Of the southern
states in future conventions to the
basis of votes polled for the republican
candidate, the lever was reversed. The
convention promptly backed off the
threatened shoal by postponing deci-
sion until today. The southern dele
gates were very much incensed over
what they regard as a blow at their
power. They propose to fight to avert
it.
Again Roosevelt carried off the hon.
ors. His entrance was the signal for
the most pronounced demonstration of

CHAPTER xxx

Near the pretty town of st. Remy, in
a remote corner of France, stands a
chateau, quite shut in from the world
by the forest that surrounds it. 1t is
supposed to have been built by a king
of France who, passionately fond Of
hunting, enjoyed the chase best when
he had only a few select friends about
him. He would spend week at time
at the chateau, and while he was there
the merry sound of the hunting horn
was frequently heard. The next king
sold it to one Of the bourgeoisie, who
purchased it simply because it had
been built for the pleasure of royalty.
He gave it his own name of Fleuris,
which it retained. Then-for it was

Philadelphia, June 21.-President Nc

publican convention yesterday but to-
day will witness in all probability the
unparalleled spectacle Of both presi-
Dental and vice presidential candidates
being nominated by acclamation
Senator Hanna threw up the sponge
yesterday. He found he could not
stem the tide of the popular favorite

the session. He still wore his rough
rider hat. Some of his austerity had
departed. With the relaxation OF Han
mas opposition he realized he must
succumb to the inevitable and appeared
resigned to his fate.
Senator Lodge, young, brilliant, al
ready famous as a scholar, statesman
and historian, made a fine figure as he
delivered his address as permanent
chairman. His speech was the
scholarly and clear cut effort expected
Of aim. But it covered the same gen
eral ground as Senator Wolcott went
over and did not stir up any great en-
thusiasm Neither did the reading OF
the platform, very strong document,
by Senator Fairbanks for the same
reason. Both in different forms were
epitomes of the record of the admins
tration. The most striking incident OF
the day was the appearance on the
stage of fifteen survivors of the Orlgl-
nal convention held in this city in 1856.
All the stirring memories OF the ex-
citing days when the country was on
the verge of the great bloody conflict
over slavery welled up at sight OF these
old lovers of liberty. Senator HaWley
was the only one of the fifteen who
still holds a prominent place upon the
stage of the present. The cheer that
went up at sight of them shook the
building. It rose again more tumultu-
ousIy when their spokesman an
nounced their unwavering allegiance
to the party they helped to bring forth.
Today the convention meets at 10 and
it's labors will probably be over before
in the afternoon.
The Platform.
The essential planks of the platform
are: CD Endorsement of gold stand
ard; ca promises to cure trust evil;
CD renews allegiance to protection;
"a favors action to develop merchant
marine; 60 favors continued liberal
pensions; CO. endors administration
