Philadelphia. June 21.- Albright and
cloudless sky with cool and bracing
northeasterly breeze gave ideal condi-
tlons for the third and what promises
to be the closing day of the republican
national convention After all the smoke
OF the skirmish of the last few days the
convention hosts awoke today with a
common belief-that Mckinley and
Roosevelt would be the ticket of 1900.
The exciting scenes shortly before
midnight last night. the conference of
the managers in Senator Hanna's rooms,
the withdrawal of Long, DOlliver and the
disappearance of every other obstacle
IN the path of Roosevelts triumphant
nomination, and finally the formal,
measured announcement of Senator
Hanna that in his Judgment, after a
complete review of conditions, Governor
Roosevelt would be nominated by ac-
clamation-this series OF events dispell-
ed the very last vestige of doubt as to
the ticket.
AS delegates and leaders appeared in
the hotel Hobbies this morning they
shook hands and congratulated each
other like gradiators after a. hard fought
battle and all agreed that nothing re-
to carry out wrat had already been reg
istered as its unmistakable will. At their
breakfasts the delegates read from the
morning papers tn evarous interpreta-
tdons of how the end had been brought
about, some asserting that Mr. Hanna
had been forced slowly and surely to
complete surrender after finding that
neither th ename of Long or Dolliver
had the magnetism to counteract the
Roosevelt wave, while the other view,
equally positive, maintained that Hanna
had calmly dominated the situation
throughout, and as sort of arbitrator
finally had consoled all conflicting inf1u-
ences and brought accord out of chaos.
But wfile men differed on who did it..
they all agreed that it was dome, and
when the inner history is written it prob
ably will show that it was not leaders,
but the irresistible fcx1e of events, the
voice of the multitude which worked
these results.
The programme today is the most at
tractive one of the session with the
nominating speeches and the two NOM
ina tions by acclanatton. The conven-
ton get under way at an early hour, 10
o'clock, so that definite results may be
expected at a compa ratively early hour
The early start put the convention
crowds in motion at - early hour, and
there was a renewal of the hustle and
excitement of tn elast few days in and
about the convention hall.
Governor Roosevelt arrived at his
headquarters at an earlier hour this
and looked less worried than for many
days, and he had lost the air Of petu-
lance that has marked his demeanor for
the past 48 hours.
He was kept busy for while making
preparations for his departure to his
home, and then he saw the newspaper
men.
Although he had undoubtedly made up
his mind that nothing coulu stop his
nomination, he still asserted that he had
not declared his final Judgment on the
matter of acceptance. He came to the
convention hall with Senator Depew and
Mr.. B. B. O'Dell and was among the
earliest of the leaders to arrive.
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 21.
This was the great day and long before
10 o'clock the hour set for the re-assem-
bling of the convention. the hall was
surrounded by an immense army of peo-
pie, who besieged all the doors and en-
frances, clamoring for admission. When
the doors were opened they surged in
like a food submerging the vast hall.
The stage had been freshened with green
things and at each corner, like touch
of flaming color, red peonies shot into
the air. The band in the north gallery
was at work early with inspiring music.
It was much warmer today. The sun
blazed down through the spaces in the
oppressive. But the ladies were attired
in their thinnest muslins everybody was
provided with a fan and there was no
complaint. One old fellow in the gallery,
with charming disregard of the proprie-
ties, divested himself Of coat and vest,
hung them over the rail and took his
seat.
Three minutes before 10 the Kansas
headed by Colonel Burton,
with bright silk sunflowers to their lap
els aroused the first enthusiasm as they
marched down the main aisle bearing a
white banner inscribed in big black let
ters the words: kansas is for Roose-
velt."
AS the delegates debouched into the
pit the utmost good nature was mani
tested. The contest was over. It was to
be a love feast, a jubilee, and not con-
test which the day was to witness. Gov
ernor Roosevelt entered at exactly 10
o'cxck. He made rush Of it today, but
did not escape the keen eye OF the thou
sands and they set. up a cheer at sight of |
him. He was surrounded by the dele
gates when he reached the pit and show
cred with congratulations. He made no
protestations or dissent, but smilingly
