Philadelphia, June 20.-Chairman
Hanna, with rabbits foot suspend
ed from a miniature of Mckinley in
the lapel of his coat, surveyed an i'm
posing spectacle when he called the
twelfth republican national conven-
tion to order in the Export EXPOSE
tion building in West Philadelphia
yesterday. In the valley below him
were crowded the 1900 delegates and
alternates, and stretching away to
the four corners of the immense hall
were endless vistas of people rising in
terraced seats to the walls. He look
ed into the faces of fully $4,000 men
and women. Opposite, in n broad
gallery, were massed 100 musicians,
their leader a mere pigmy in the dis
tance.
The platform on which he stood
jutted out like a huge rock into an
ocean of humanity. Below him and
fanking the stage was an embank-
ment thronged with the representa-
tiyes of the press of the country.
Above was a riot of flags, bunting,
eagles, shields, the whole scheme of
the elaborate decorations eliminating
in huge portrait of Mckinley nest
ling in the 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 n CEN

lowed, lasted an hour and ten min

Colorado senator's reputation as an
orator. The keynotesbe sounded-an
account of the stewardship of the
party-was as much for the reading
millions scattered over the country as
for the few thousands who heard it,
and it was n difficult role for mag
netic speaker to essay.
Senator Wolcott would be at his
best speaking in the opportunity of
the moment. Yet the effect he pro-
duced yesterday thrilled his audience.
With clear voice that reached the
remotest spot of the hall and with
graceful gestures he brought all un-
der his spell. Time and again his
hearers broke into cheers as he spoke
of the present prosperity of the coun-
try and predicted McKinley's re-elec-
ton.
And when he declared that the
democratic party had been driven by
the events of the last four years from
every position it occupied in 1876 to
seek new issues in the events of the
war with Spain there was another
frantic outburst. The same enthusi-
asm swelled out when he predicted

under mysterious circumstances Mon
day night. Shortly after eating sup

and died in terrible agony few min
utes later. The symptoms of his

stock men of northern Ohio and was

1t was not n riotous convention.
There were no wild outbursts of en-
thlsiasm from the frenzied partisans
of rival candidates, no entrance OF
delegations with banners to set the
mishing and clashing of candidates
managers over rules of procedure and
contesting delegations. The chieftain
in the coming battle had already
been selected by the unanimous voice
of the republicans of the country.
The man who had stood at the helm
of the ship of state for four years
was their unbroken choice. The plat
form was the record of his admins
tration. The only question that re-
mained for the convention to decide
was the vice presidency.

see the American nation girding half
the globe with its flag, extending it's

But the climax was reached when

to be abandoned merely because the
