and here. too, was the center of that
great, throbbing idea-the protection OF
American industry.
Another wave of applause swept over
the convention at this mention of the pro-
tectivc principle and as it subsidized Mr..
Hanna proceeded:
I'VE are on the eve of another great
struggle. Already we are beginning to
form our battalions under the leadership
of our great statesman, General William
Mckinley"
OVATION TO M'KINLEY.
That was the signal, and for the first
time the convention broke forth in Il
whirlwind of enthusiasm. Men and wo-
men sprang to their feet, delegates. spec
tators, staid and distinguished guests, all
animated by IL common purpose to do
honor to the president.
Senator Hanna looked down in smiling
satisfaction at the tempestuous demon
stration. Flags and handkerchiefs way
ed everywhere in the pillows of col
or. For 10 seconds, 20, 30, minute,
the demonstration kept up, and then.
with a wave of the hand, the national
chairman bid the assemblage resume
their seats and let him proceed.
As Mr.. Hanna closed his speech with
tribute to his colleagues on the national
committee and 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 as temporary chairman.
SENATOR WOLCOTT'S SPEECH.
Senator Fairbanks. from the first row
of delegates. arose and moved that the
selection of Senator Wolcott as tempo
rary chairman be approved. and with
unanimous voice the delegates so voted.
Senator Wolcott. who was on the plat
form. arose and came forward. The ap-
pearancc of the Colorado orator set the
convention off like rocket. Senator
Wolcott is still young man. somewhat
jaunty in appearance. He wore blue
sack suit and white vest. There was
elasticity in his step as he bowed low to
the convention, and there was something
about him which suggested the freshness
of his mountain home. With pleasant
nod of acknowledgment to Chairman
Hanna he turned and addressed the con-

PHILADELPHIA,J June 19-At 1890
O'Clock today the Republican national
convention of 1900 was called to order,
and thus the racking excitement of con-
ference and caucus, of crashing bands
and confusion Of hotel corridors gives
way to the definiteness and form of ac-
tual convention proceedings.
The day opened auspiciously for the
event. The sky was slightly overcast,
many former national gatherings. The
air was cool, the temperature below 20
and the indications were for good wealth
er throughout the meeting. After being
up half the night with the demonstra-
tion of 10000 marching men, fireworks.
bands. final caucuses and earnest confer
ences, the army of delegates and the con
spicuous figures of the convention were
slow to make their appearance But the
staid old Quaker City was early astir
with preparation, and the streets took on
an air of animation and anticipation as
the crowds began to converge toward the
convention grounds. The arrangements
for transporting the great multitude from
down town to the hall are admirable.
many lines of electric cars giving ready
conveyance. That splendid avenue,
Broad street. leads TO the most direct
route, that on South street, and all of the
early cars along this line were crowded
with those wishing to secure points of
vantage in or around the building. The
throngs were good natured and intensely
earnest. The ladies showed their inter
est in the event by making up Il consider
able percentage of the moving hosts. and
the fair weather permitted all the color
Of bright parasols and midsummer dress
to be blended with the blaze of hunting.
HALL DECORATIONS.
During the early hours the inside of
the convention hall presented the appear.
ance of vast sea of pine. overhung
with wealth of festoon, bunting and
historic portraiture. 1t was very light,
very airy, and so arranged in the gradual
rise of seats from common center to
give full opportunity for the demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm which were soon to
come. On all hands We're heard words
of commendation for the admirable facili
ties which the hall gave for Il gathering
of this character.
Outside of the hall the approaches be-
gan to congest with the crowds during
the early hours. The cars added hun
dreds every minute, and as the outer
gates were not opened until 10 o'clock
the early arrivals We're masscd on the
walks and streets awaiting the signal to
get in. The street venders did II thriv-
ing business in buttons and badges, and Il
lively trade was carried on in seats for
the convention ut rates varying from 81
for Il single session up to $50 for the
three sessions
While these scenes were being enacted
about the convention hall the political
managers and the delegates We're holding
their final conferences and caucuses and
preparing for the work before them. IL

cations held morning meetings for organ
ization and felt the pulse of the dele
gates on the vice presidential situation.
Most of the state delegations arranged
to go to the hall in bodies, many of them
being escorted through the streets by
their marching clubs with bands and
banners. TO the leaders, however. these
outward demonstrations had little inter
est. and they continued to spend most of
their time in the privacy of upper cham
bers at the hotels, trying to figure out
the perplexing questions of candidacy
presented.
FILLING THE GREAT HALL.
The crowds were slow in gathering
at the Convention hall. When, shortly
after IL o'clock, the band in the gallery
awoke the echoes in the vast roof space,
there We're not more than 1000 persons

In fact it matters not with what
political party you are affiliated, you
should be Protectionist in one re-
spect. That is to say you should
protect yourselves against loss by
the destruction of your property by
fire; and what is still more essential,
protect your families against the loss
of their support by the death of the
person who produces that support
the husband the father. This latter
protection can be obtained practical
ly without expense, since it is pos
sible, and in fact compulsory, for the
life insurance company to safely in
vest the funds paid into their hands,
and, after term of years, return
same with profits to policy holders,
if living, on demand.
This matter should command your seri-
and expensive. You will therefore
do well to consult the agent in regard
to the merits of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Phila-
delphia, which is justly reputed to
be the most conservative and the
most economical as well as the most
liberal and equitable in its dealings
with policy holders.
1t is no experiment or adventure
but by all odds the safest and best
investment you can make, besides
furnishing protection to your family.
The Penn Mutual is already over
53 years old and has over POO, 600, 900
of insurance in force, several hun
dred thousand dollars of which is in
Sullivan county.

SOME persons keep advice for
gratuitous distribution, and give
it at such length and with such
energy that all free agency seems
lost to the one addressed. A we'll
bred reticence should be exer-
cised, both in asking questions
and offering advice, respecting
everyone's natural desire for inde-
pendent thought and action. The

it goes far enough. They argue
that with revenues $S0,000,000 in

NEED INSTRUCTIONS.

1t wouldn't be bad plan for the
police board to stand the night
force up in a row and instruct the
sleuths in the duties connected
with their office. 1t wouldn't be
out of place, perhaps, to suggest
that burglaries and holdups are as
apt to occur after two or three
O'Clock in the morning as before
that time, and that therefore the
interests of the town would be
better protected by their remain
ing on duty until daylight. The
brave men in question should be
taught that as brick walls are not
transparent, they would be more
apt to see vags and suspicious
characters by remaining on the
streets. They should be shown
that history doesn't record single
instance where billiard cue was
used successfully in making ar
rests, and they should be warned
against "sloughing" responsibility.
These are just few suggestions
that are made as apropos of the
present existing conditions There
is something wrong in the night
