Ovation to Governor Taylor.

was the remarkable demonstration to
Governor Taylor Of Kentucky. That
his PARTY associates look on him as a
martyr of political hatred, their great
ovation made evident. Although they
succeeded in bringing him to the plat.
form. they could not induce him to

clashing of candidates managers over
rules Of procedure and contesting dele
cations. The chieftain in the coming
battle had already been selected by the
unanimous voice of the Republicans of
the<ountry. The man who had stood
at the helm of the ship of state for four
years was their unbroken choice. The
platform was the record of his admins
tration. The only question that re-
mained for the convention to decide was
the vice presidency and it was not a
sufficient bone Of contention to produce
the tumultuous scenes which usually
attend the assembling Of national
convention. The convention was the
dignifed gathering of the representa-.
tives Of the Republican party to ratify
formally the wishes of the millions
whose authority they held.
Demonstration for Roosevelt.
1t was very undemonstrative at first.
While the crowds and delegates were
funnelling into the hall before the hour
for calling the convention to order had
arrived there were no wild greetings of
party leaders. A scattering applause
met Mr. Hanna as he made his way to
the stage. General Grosvenor, Senator
Lodge, Senator Foraker, ex-senator
Quay and few others aroused flutter-
ing of handkerchiefs and round of
hand clapping, but men of national rep
utation, whose fame has spread away
from our shores across both oceans, en-
tered without producing ripple. Per-
haps most of them were not recognized.
II seemed tame. There was only that
tndescribable buzz of myriads Of voices
which belongs to national convention
as the humming of bees belongs to a
field of clover in summer and 1t looked
as though nothing could galyanize the
thousands into life. But just before
Chairman Hanna was ready to drop his
gavel, Governor Roosevelt entered and
the vast audience was electrified. He
stalked in at the main door. His rough
rider hat signalled him out to the
craning multitude. Seemingly the
audience had been waiting for him and
the applause that announced his ap-
pearance swept over the vast amphi-
theater and swelled into great roar as
he made his way toward the seats of
the New York delegation. Senator De-
pew and Chairman Odell of the New
York stats ceMmittee were with him,
but the crowds had only eyes for the
dashing hero of San Juan. No stage
idol ever made an entrance more oppor-
tunely. But he made no acknowledge
ment of the ovation his appearance elic-
tied. His jaw was firmly set and he
came on through the press like
soldier performing a duty. He did
not even remove his hat, but pushed his

In the Export Exposition building in
West Philadelphia at 1896 yesterday.
In the valley below him were crowded
the 800 delegates and alternates, and
stretching away to the four corners of

people rising in terraced seats to the
wall. He looked into the faces of fully
$1,000 men and women. Opposite. In q
broad gallery, were massed 100 mu-
sicians, their leader mere pigmy in
the distance. The platform on which
he stood jutted out like huge rock into

the press of the country. Above was a
riot of flags, bunting, eagles, shields,
the whole scheme of the elaborate dec.
orations eliminating in a huge portrait
of Mckinley nesting in the graceful
folds of the American flag. About him
were the working leaders of his party
and behind, among the dignitaries and
honored guests of the convention, were
white haired men who had been present
at the party's birth in this city almost
half century ago.
1t was not a riotous convention, there
were no wild outbursts Of enthusiasm
from the frenzied partisans of rival
candidates, no entrance of delegations
with banners to set the multitudes

AS the roll call proceeded the shouts
of approval Of the unanimity Of the
vote seemed to increase. All Of the
large States were cheered heartily as
one after another their votes were cast
for Mr.. Bryan Georgia. Indiana, III
inois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, were
cheered cordially, but when Missouri
and a minute later Nebraska were
called the convention fairly palpitated
with enthusiasm. So it was, too, when
the State of New York was called, the
convention rising to its feet and cheer
ing.
The list of States and territories was
completed with the calling of the terri
tory of Hawaii.
The announcement by Chairman
Richardson that Mr. Bryan had been
nominated for president of the United
States unanimously was received with
great applause.

SENATOR J. w. DANIEL.

In the midst of the confusion at the
close of Mr. Moore's address, a Geor-
gia delegate rose and on behalf of the
South requested that that peerless
leader and orator of Virginia, G. w.
Daniel, be called upon to address the
convention.
Senator Daniel was escorted to the
platform and was accorded an enthusi-
astic reception. His speech was bril-
liant and eloquent eulogy of Mr.. Bryan.
Up came the short figure of Dave
Overmeyer, of Kansas.
"Mr. Chairman" he shouted, Kan
sas has the honor to second the nom
ination of Bryan and will do so
through John P Atwood, of Kansas
A cheer greeted the close of Over
meyers brief nominating speech and
then Atwood, of Kansas, took the plat
form and made a short address.
Mr. H. l.. Fuqua, of Louisiana, fol-
lowed in a few words of commentator
of Mr.. Bryan and then came Blair Lee
from Maryland, who made a brief ad-
dress.
After Mr.. Lee came Thomas Gargan,
Thomas E. Barkworth, of Michigan.
When New Hampshire was called the
chairman of the delegation announced
that it had intended to cast its vote
for David B. Hill, but it had decided
to second the nomination of VIM. ].
Bryan. There were no more second
ing speeches until Ohio was reached,
when w. Baker took the platform
for a few minutes.

HILL FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

"Hill for Vice President" was one
of the cries raised and delegates all
over The hall were on their feet except
the five rows of Tammany men.
Ex-senator Edward Murphy, as Hill
passed to his seat, grasped his hand
and shook it heartily. Then Mr.. Shea,
of Brooklyn, did the same and others
in the row, but Mr.. Croker sat immo-
bile and Hill passed him without any
Salutation.
The applause for Senator Hill con-
tinued for some minutes. When order
was restored the secretary of the con-
vention proceeded with the call OF
States. Tenant Lomax, of Alabama,
briefly seconded the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan. During his speech the vast
audience grew restless. So much con-
fusion existed that it was extremely
difficult to hear the speakers words.
In fact thirty feet from the platform
they could not be hard.
Mr.. w. B. Moore, of North Carolina,
followed Mr.. Lomax with a brief eulo-
gy Of Bryan. During his speech hun
dreds of people left the hall, the late
ness of the hour and their inability to
hear being the motive

GOVERNOR PATTISON.

Former Governor Robert E. Patti
son, of Pennsylvania, came next, and
received an ovation while on the way
to the platform. He spoke better than
most of those, who before him had sec
onded the nomination of Mr.. Bryan,
and he received the attention of the
convention at once and throughout his
speech, which he had the judgment to
make brief, he was cheered repeatedly.
Governor Benton McMillen, of Ten
nessee. stood in his chair instead of
walking to the platform for the few
words in which he seconded the nom
ination of Mr.. Bryan.
A ringing cheer followed the call of
Hawaii" and when John H. Wise, of
that delegation, rose in his seat, the
convention demanded that he take the
platform, which he did amid great ap-
plauSe.

nowhere, Arkansas yielded t0 Texas
and MI. Perkins began speech sec
onding Mr. Bryan. He Iauded the plat
form and said some other pertinent
things, but the audiences appetite had
been whetted for the nomination and
his voice was hardly distinguishable
above the strong hum of conversation
and the rustling of moving bodies. His
finish was appIauded and then the
voice of the clerk calling the roll was
drowned out by vociferous cries for
HILL" HILL" Ex-senator White, OF
California, got the platform, however,
and his stentorian tones soon demand
ed attention and by his decided deliv-
cry he kept the convention somewhat
in order. He was heard distinctly, his
big voice filing the hall and at each OF
the telling points in his address ap-
plause broke forth.
Colorado gave way to Illinois, and
Judge Thompson took the platform,
while the audience again cried for Hill.
He began in tumult, but soon re-
ceived attention and seconded the NOM
nation in behalf of his State.

SENATOR HILL SPEAKS.

Judge Thompson did not take the
tel minutes allotted him and when he
finished Connecticut yielded for David
2. HILL Even as the State yielded the
convention took up the cry which had
been on its tongue for two days. Flags
waved and the delegates rose and
cheered with the audience. The men
in New York wearing the Tammany
badges were the only delegates who
kept their seats. Ex-senator Hill
forced his way to the platform and
waved his hand for silence. When the
cheers and cries of Hill, HILL had
concluded and the vast audience was
seated, he began to speak slowly but
clearly, and the attention given him
was remarkable. The vast hall was al
most perfectly silent.

In conclusion, in announcing his in
tention of supporting the Democratic
party and its ticket, Mr.. Davis said
with great emphasis:
Il stand upon this platform and
shall support w. ]. Brennings 1t was
curious and laughable confusion of
the syllables of Mr.. Bryan's name. But
the convention knew what he meant
and cheered him wildly.
AS Mr.. Davis concluded the band
struck up Hail to the Chief" and
while it was rendering the air, he held
an impronptu reception upon the plat
form. Chairman Richardson was the
first to grasp his hand as he conclud-
ed; then Senator J. X. Jones. Others
crowded around him until he had diff
ficulty in retaining his feet.
He left the platform as soon as he
was able. but on the way to his seat be
