DELEGATES ENTHUSIASTIC.
The committees report was adopted by
q unanimous vote and Mr.. Hanly was in
troduced His appearance on the stage was
greeted with a cheer. Mr.. Hanly spoke for
an hour and at no time did the big au-
dience indicate that it was impatient for
the end His clear, clean cut utterances
were applauded with a vim. A few mo-
ments after the chairman began talking
Senator Fairbanks was ushered to a seat
at the front OF the stage. His appearance
was the signl for a tumult of applause.
The chairman bowed to the senator and
waited unit, the enthusiasm had subsidized.
Mr.. Hanly's speech covered every State
and national issue that is before the people
to-day. His references to distinguished In
diana statesmen who have passed away
were applauded. and the eloquent tribute
he paid to the memory of Col. r. w.
Thompson was received with sincere appre-
citation. When he spoke the name of Gov
ernor Mount there was fresh applause.
When he said: 'I refer to Admiral Dewey

forth.

port of the committee on resolutions, which
was sent to the stage by Hugh H. Hanna.

Secretary Keegan. Chairman Hanly be-
came very hoarse and fearing his voice
would give out entirely, he asked Senator
Fairbanks to preside. The senator took the
convention in charge and presided until
the session closed. The resolutions, which
included the platform, were unanimously
adopted by rising vote. John B. Cock
rum next read the report of the commit
tee on credentials, which was also adopted.
Again there were cries for lands and
the silver-tongued representative from the
Ninth district was introduced. Mr.. Lands
stirred up a great deal of enthusiasm at
the start by saying that he was opposed to
running Senator Fairbanks for Vice
President this year. as he thought the
senator should be saved for the presidency
in 1904 When Mr.. Lands finished the au-
dience was ready for speeches from other
congressional representatives, but as none
came to the front the convention adjourned
about 4:30 o'clock.
