A "woman,s Rights Person.,

An old Virginia gentleman arose in a
car the other day and with a great
flourish of his SLOUGH hat offered his
seat to a beautiful and handsomely
dressed woman.
"Take my seat. madam" he politely
requested. The lady demurred. Take
my seat, beg of you, madam" he in
sisted. 81 could not allow a lady to
stand, unless" he added under his
breath, "she was one Of those women's
rights people"
The lady bristled visibly. 81" she
said in freezing tone-"I am 'wom-
ans rights person."

am" said the gallant old gentleman
smilingly. You are too good looking
to be suspected Of 1t If you hadn't con-
fessed."-Leslie's Weekly.

wEDNEsDAY,s SESSION.

It was almost IL o'clock Wednesday
when the advance guard of the great ar
my Of visitors crossed the Schuylkill and
besiesed the doors of the convention hall.
Every road led toward the EXPOSE
ton building. In street cars, carriages
and afoot the people streamed thither.
There are thirty entrances to the hall,
mere keyholes into the vast amphithea-
ter. and through these tiny apertures the
populace flowed increasingly, gradually
spreading over and blotting out the great
waste of implanted pine chairs.
As on Tuesday, the delegates We're slow
in arriving, but the distinguished guests
were on hand somewhat earlier. Shortly
after IL o'clock the big municipal band
of Philadelphia took its place in the gal
lery opposite the stage and few minutes
later the strains of one of Souza,s stir
ring marches crashed out.
At 1890 o'clock. when the convention
was called to order by Temporary Chair
man Wolcott, the band played sThe Star
Spangled Banner and the crowd arose to
join in the song. During the prayer by
Rev. Chas. III. Boswell seven delegates
who had been at the birth of the Repub-
lican party Id 1856 marched to the chair
mans platform waving q faded flag, bear
ing the date 1896 on streamer attached
to Old Glory. Behind the standard bear
er was an octogenarian carrying the ban

ner OF the Fremont Association. Senators
Hanna and Cullom met the distinguished
veterans of Republicanism, and, leading
them forward to Chairman Wolcott's
side. waved their arms as signal for ap-
plause. The convention cheered, dele
gates arose and waved their hats and the
faded flag was kept in sight of the dem
onstcatiye spectators while the band play
ed "America." This was the signal for
renewed enthusiasm. The banner bore
the legend National Fremont Associa-
ton of Republican Clubs of Pittsburg."
This incident over, the chairman recog-
nized Representative Serene e. Payne of
New York, chairman Of the committee
on credentials, who mounted the platform
and read the exhaustive report of the
committee. The settlement of the Della
ware contest in favor of "Gas" Adicks,
announced by the chairman, was greeted
with considerable applause from the

gan to congest with the crowds during the
early hours. The cars added hundreds
every minute, and as the outer gates were
not opened until 10 o'clock, the early ar
rivals were massed on the walks and
streets awaiting the signal to get in. The
street vendors did thriving business in
buttons and badges and lively trade
was carried on in seats for the convention
While these scenes were being enacted
about the convention hall, the political
managers and the delegates were holding
their final conferences and caucuses and
preparing for the work before them. Hi
nos Ohio and Il number of other delega-
tions held morning meetings for organiza-
ton. and felt the pulse of the delegates
on the vice-presidential situation. Most
of the State delegations arranged to go
to the hall as bodies, many of them be-
ing escorted through the streets by their
marching clubs with bands and banners.

Philadelphia correspondence:
Mckinley and Roosevelt is the RepuDil-
can ticket as named by the national con-
vention Thursday. The nominations were
unanimous. The official announcements
Of Chairman Lodge were followed by a
scene seldom witnessed, and in point OF
enthusiasm never surpassed by any ma
tional gathering of the party. The DEM
onstrations bore all the details of STAN
pedes, with waving. standards of States
and a procession of delegates, which
were repeated in all their exciting details,
and for over fifteen minutes reigned a
tunult of the widest character.
1t was nearly forty minutes after the
scheduled time for beginning when Sen
ator Lodge asked for quiet while Arch
bishop Ryan invoked divine blessing on
the convention. After the full report of
the committee on rules was adopted,
Chairman Lodge announced that the next
order of business was the nomination for
President, and called on Alabama. This
State yielded to Ohio, and Senator Fora

name before the convention. The scenes
attending the denomination of President
Mckinley were re-enacted with equal en-
thusiasm. Gov. Roosevelt announced that
the nomination was so spontaneous he
could not decline, and he in a brief state
ment accepted the nomination for Vice
President.
PRESIDENT Mckinley received the entire
go votes, while Roosevelt lacked only
one Of that number and that because he
himself refused to have his ballot record
ed. Committees were appointed to notify
the nominees, and at 2:15 o'clock the con-
ventlon of 1900 adjourned sine die.

ker placed Mr.. McKinley's name before
the convention in a speech which was one
Of the greatest oratorical efforts that
well-known speaker has ever made. He
was repeatedly interrupted by the plaud-
it's of his audience and at the conclusion
Of his address there was a wave of APP
plause that required ten minutes to sub
side. Gov. Roosevelt, the choice for vice
president seconded the nomination in an
oratorical effort, which captured the con-
yention. Senator Foraker was also fol7
lowed by John w. Yerkes Of Kentucky,
George Knight of California and Gov
Mount of Indiana. Then the delegates
became FESTIVE and responding to the vo-
ciferous demands Senator Lodge ordered
the roll-call, which resulted in every vote
being cast for Mckinley.
Gov. Roosevelt Named.
Then came the call for nomination for
Vice-President and Col. LATE Young Of
Iowa advanced to the platform. He
withdrew the name of Dolliyer and in a
ringing speech placed Gov. Roosevelt's

impressive in the extreme. The orator
Aad eridently completely caught and
ssyayed his audience, and the vast multi-
suSe answered to his, glowing periods
with the greatest enthusiasm.
The forenoon had produced nothing
new in the Vice Presidential situation,
and when the convention had settled
down TO business the question was still
IN condition of as much uncertainty as
Il was forty-eight hours before. 1t was
evident, though, to even casual OBJ
egx.rpr. that Gov. Roosevelt, of New
YORK. was still the hero of the hour. and
that il would be as easy to stampede the
rn,,yention for him as to startl confagra-
lion by the commingling of fire and tow.
A significant thing in this connection was
The fact that when reference was being
made TO the Spanish war and the bravery
Nf American arms was being extolled by
Senator WolcOtt, there were frequent
cries Of San Juan intermingled with great
optharsts OF cheering for Roosevelt

cumstances justify, and the party reiter-
ates the pledge made by Congress to give
Cuba independence as soon as possible.
On the expansion question the conduct by
the administration of the recent war with
Spain is praised, and attention called to
the fact that as a result of that war the
country finds itself with responsibilities
which did not exist before. 1t is stated
that these responsibilities must be met,
and commends the course which Presi-
dent Mckinley has so far pursued in the
matter. Porto Rico is grouped with the
Philippines in the general statement that
the Republican party is in favor of Civ
ing both countries the largest measure of
f-government that it is demonstrated
the Inhabitants are capable of receiving.
