battaions to move, but you interrupted me, +"
said Mr.. Hanna, jocularly, and the applause
was turned to laughter. Again Mr.. Hanna
evoked demonstration when, speaking OF
the approaching campaign, he declared:
And with such leader and such cause,
there is no such word as fail"
AS Mr.. Hanna closed bis speech with a
tribute to his colleague on the National
Committee and a reference to the close Of
his craftsmanship, he spoke OF the sterling
service OF the Senator from Colorado. Mr..
Wolcott, to his party and presented him to
the Convention MS temporary chairman.
Senator Fairbanks, from the first row Of
delegates, arose and moved that the selec-
ton OF Senator Wolcott as temporary chair
man be approved, and with unanimous voice
the delegates so voted. Senator Wolcott
who was on the platform, arose and came
forward. The appearance OF the Colorado
orator set the Convention off like rocket
1t was keynote speech covering the legis-
lation which had been placed on the statute
books, and Its deepest note was the financial
prosperity OF tho country and the legislation
which had made Its continuation possible II
the present Administration were continued
In power. That was the theme to which the
demonstrations of the Convention clung.
At 1907 the first pronounced demonstra-
tion OF the Convention occurred. Govern
or Roosevelt came In through the main en-
trance and moved down the centre aisle.
He wore his Rough Rider hat and was in
stantly recognized. A deep reverberating
cheer greeted him. Men jumped to their
chairs to cheer him and women futtered
their handkerchiefs. Delegates crowded
forward to greet him as he moved through
the press, and his entrance, theatrical
though it may have been, was like that OF a
conquering hero. He took his seat imme-
diately in rear OF Senator Plat and In front
OF Senator Depew.
"Our Chauncey" who has aroused the
admiration OF many a Republican conven-
ton, came In at the same time as Roosevelt.
A noteworthy incident OF the session was
the remarkable demonstration TO Governor
Taylor, OF Kentucky. That his party asso-
ciates look upon him as a martyr to partisan
hatred their great ovation made evident
Although they succeeded In bringing him to
the platform, they could not induce him to
make a speech.
The appointment OF the committees on
permanent organization, platform, &c., con-
cluded the lRbors OF the convention for to-
day, and with the benediction OF the Rev.
Edgar NJ. Levy, who delivered the invoca-
tion at the convention held on Locust street
In 1856, the convention, after having been
In session two and a half hours, adjourned
SECOND DAY.

the delegates entered In solid stream and
spread out over the seats reserved for them.
The crowds were so absorbed picking out
the men OF national reputation that they
forgot to cheer, and men like Henry Cabot
Lodge OF Massachusetts, Senator Davis OF
Minnesota and Senator Foraker OF Ohio did
not get hand as they took their places.
Meantime the band was playing popular
airs and the scene was impressive and ami
mated.
AT noon Senator Hannn took his seat u
the Chalrmans table, and although thi,
was the hour set for calling the Convention.
he waited u few moments comforting with
Secretary Dick, Senator wolcott aud Others
Again Mr.. Hanna was the centre OF at
traction. He left the presiding officers ta-
bic, and, stepping TO the front Of the plat
form, surveyed the sea OF faces, and In a
clear voice began bis speech Of welcome.
"In bidding you welcome" he began, al
also wish to congratulate you on the mag
nIflcent representation from the Republican
party"
There was round OF applause as Mr..
Hanna rolled out the words Republican
party"
There was no mistake In bringing the Con-
vention to Philadelphia, Mr.. Hanna went
on. Here was the cradle OF liberty, the
birthplace OF the Republic. Here also had
the Republican party seen its birth, and
here. too, was the centre OF that great,
throbbing aide protection OF American
industry.
Another wave OF applause swept over the
Convention at this mention OF the protective
principle, and as 1t subsided Mr.. Hanna pro-
ceeded:
Owe are on the eve OF another great
struggle. Already we are beginning to form
our battalions, under the leadership OF our
great statesman-General Mckinley"
That was the signal, and for the first time
the Convention broke forth in a whirlwind
OF enthusiasm. Men and women sprang to
their feet delegates, spectators, staid and
distinguished guests, all animated by a COM
mon purpose to do honor to the President.
Senator Hanna looked down in smiling sat
isfaction at the tempestuous demonstration.
Flags and handkerchiefs waved everywhere
In billows OF colors. For 10 seconds, 20, 80,
minute, the demonstration kept up, and
then, with wave OF the hand, the national
chairman bid the assemblage resume their
seats and let him proceed.

RODRIGUES MAYOR.
National Candidate Elected by n Large
Majority-Vote Falls Several Thou
sand Below the Registration.

Havana, (By Cable.) - Gen. Alexandra
Rodriguez, Nationalist, was elected mayor
OF Havana, polling 1903 votes, against
G,534, east for selor Estrada Mora, inde-
pendent. The total vote fell about 4 500 be-
low the registration.
The National party elected its entire
ticket-eighteen councilmen, the treasurer,
one correctional Judge, and three municipal
judges. The other correctional judgeship
fell to an Independent candidate, as did
also the fourth municipal judgeship. OF
the six other councilman, four are Repub-
licans and two Nationalists, who ran inde-
pendently.
Reports from every part OF the island go
to show that perfect order prevailed at the
polls. Not shot was fired, nor was there
any sign of disturbance, anywhere.
10 an American observer of the election
here 1t seemed as II the people regarded the
whole matter with absolute Indifference.
There was not even crowd in waiting to
hear the result declared. Not n cheer was
raised, nor were there any of the ordinary
indications of election excitement
The victory OF the Natlonalists Is chiefly
due to the fact that they were first In the
field and had the benefit of well-disciplined
organization. But as they only claimed to
have about 10000 members, 1t is obvious
that large proportion of the voting popu-
lation OF Havana, PERHAPS 10000 was not
attracted to the ranks Of the party during
the year and half prior TO the election.
This is chiefly the result OF n lack of conf
dence In the party leaders.
Senor Mora contends that he polled a
majority OF the voters in the better class
districts and attributes the triumph of the
Nationalists to fraud and the votes of the
mob"
Impartial judges attribute the outcome to
hard work done by the Nationalist LEADERS,
Gen. Rodriguez declines to outline his plans,
preierring to wait until the Havana charter
has been made public, with its definition Of
his powers.

FIRST DAY.

Philadelphia, Especial. )-At 1885 o'clock
Tuesday the Republican National Conven-
tion OF 1900 was called to order, and thus
the racking excitement OF conference and
caucus, OF crashing bands and confusion OF
hotel corridors gave way to the definiteness
and form OF actual convention proceedings.
The sergeants-at-arms and the ushers had
their hands full atten ding to the crowds.
In the seats back OF the stage were many
distinguished personages.
The leaders were slow In arriving, and 1t
was not until Senator Hanna put in an ap-
pearance at 11.46 that the enthusiasm OF the
thousands was uncorked. He got a cheer
as he moved up the centre aisle the full
length Of the hall TO the platform.
General Grosvenor, the white bearded old
veteran, was Immediately recognized, and
he, too, got cheer.
Senator Allison, OF Iowa, the famous
Lender OF his party In the Senate, was among
the early arrivals. Among the other MEM
bers OF the Senate on the stage were Hawley
OF Connecticut Burrows OF Michigan, Deboe
of:Kentueky, Cullom OF Illinois and shoup
OF Idaho.
Occupying prominent seats upon the plat
form were of the IA men now living who
were delegates to the first Convention OF the
Republican party held In Philadelphia, June
II, 1856. All were members OF the regular
Ohio delegation. Three OF them were prom
inent in the anti-slavery fight that led to the
convention held in Pittsburg on February
22, 1856, which was In reality the precursor
OF the Philadelphia Convention, and these
men, therefore, claim to be among those who
were chiefly instrumental in forming the Re-
publican party. The three men who were
first at Pittsburg and latter at Philadelphia
are Judge Rush II. sloane, Sandusky, o. 4;
Gen. r. Brinkerhoff, Mansfield, o., and
Hon. George II. Trey, Springfield, o. Judge
W. Hupson, OF Akron, o., was at the Phila-
delphia Convention, but not at that in Pitts
burg.

tering OF applause as he came In and took
his seat with the New York delegation, and

greeting. AS the hour of noon approached
