magnificent and impromptu tribute to
the hero of the hour. He was in good
humor as we'll as good voice, and his
touch of jocosity in mentioning Ted
dy" and the get there qualities of
young America brought out storm Of
mingled laughter and applause.
Then the vote was taken, and at
the conclusion of the call Chair
man Lodge announced that Governor
Roosevelt had received 925 votes, one
delegate in the convention not voting.
This delegate was Governor Roose-
welt himself.
Chairman Lodges announcement
that Roosevelt had been nominated for
vice president evoked a burst of ap-
plause that fairly shook the great steel
girdled building to it's foundations.
On motion Of Col. Dick Senator
Lodge was placed at the head of the
committee to notify the president Of
his nomination and Senator Wolcott
at the head of the committee to notify
the vice presidential nominee.
The national committee met in the
rooms back of the convention hall i'm
mediately after the adjournment of the
convention. AS soon as the commit
tee was assembled Senator Hanna was
nominated and reelected chairman for
the next four years, Col. Dick, of
Ohio, was elected temporary secre-
tary, and Chairman Hanna announced
the following members of the new ex-
ecutive committee: Henry c. Payne of
Wisconsin, Joseph H. Manley of Maine,

Philadelphia, June 21.-The work of
the final day of the Republican ma
tional convention was hurried through
without a hitch, the program of events
having been carefully prearranged. At
1926 Chairman Lodge glanced at his
watch and then three raps of the his
toric gavel stilled the tumult on the
floor while the band ushered in the
session with the national anthem. AS
the anthem closed the chairman an
nounced the opening invocation by
Archbishop Ryan.
When the striking figure of the arch
bishop at the finish of the prayer dis
appeared in the throng on the stage
the vast assemblage became quiet for
more practical work of the convention.

THE OPENING DAYS.
Victories of Addicks and McCOmas
the Features of Tuesday.

The opening of the convention on
Tuesday was rather tame, with the sin
gle exception of the marvellous demon
stration that greeted the entrance of
Governor Roosevelt. Ex-senator Quay,
Governor Shaw of Iowa. Senator Nc
Comas of Maryland, Senator Davis of
Minnesota, Congressman Grosvenor of
Ohio, Chairman Hanna and Senators
Lodge, Foraker and Platt and few
others aroused fluttering of handker-
chiefs and a round of hand clapping,
but men of national reputation whose
fame has spread away from our shores
across both oceans entered without
producing ripple. Perhaps most of
them were not recognized. Senator
Hanna's address in opening the con-
vention was literally applauded, and
when he mentioned President McKin-
ley the applause was deafening. Sem
ator Wolcott, the temporary chairman,
also aroused enthusiasm by his match
less oratory. The convention was
opened with prayer by Rev. DR.. ].
Gray Bolton, of West Philadelphia,
Presbyterian, and the concluding pray
er was by Rev. Edgar M. Levy, who
ing of the first Republican conven-
tion, held in this city in 1856.
The principal events of Tuesday were
the seating of Addicks delegates from
Delaware by the committee on cre-
dentials by n vote of 3S to 8; the de-
feat Of Mayor Malster, of Baltimore,
for member of the national cammit-
tee by Senator McComas; the selection
by Senator Fairbanks as chairman of
the committee on resolutions and the
action of the New York delegation in
declaring for Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff for vice president after vain
appeals to Roosevelt to permit the use
of his name.
The second day of the convention
was something of disappointment,
for the delegates had assembled pre-
pared for a session of enthusiasm ac-
companying the unanimous renomina-
ton of Mckinley for president. But
the party leaders decided to postpone
the nomination for a day, and the only
business of the convention was the
adoption of the platform without COM
ment and the introduction of reso-
luton by ex-senator Quay which
would have largely reduced the repre-
sentation of southern states at ma
tional conventions. This aroused the
hostility Of southern delegates, but as
it was withdrawn at the final session
the southeTners returned to their
homes rejoicing. The real work of the
convention ON the second day was ac-
complished after adjournment. This
was the decision to nominate Roose-
welt, the withdrawal of all other can
didates, and the published statement OF
Chairman Hanna announcing Roose-
velt the choice of all sections.

the mention of Quay's name Mr.. Quay
announced the withdrawal of the
amendment proposing change in
Rules and XII, referring to represent
alton in national conventions. This
was accepted by the southern delegates
as a concession to them, and cheered
wildly.
Now Mr.. Lodge advanced to the front
of the platform and a thrill went
through the vast audience as he an
nounced:
'Under the rules nominations for
the Office of president of the United
States are now in order"
There was momentary shout, which
the chairman punctured with several
raps on the table with his gavel
Then he announced: "The state of
Alabama Is recognized"
A tall and swarthy Alabamian stood
on his chair and by prearrangement
answered: Alabama yields to Ohio"
This was the signal for the recogni-
tion of Senator Foraker. who was to
make the speech nominating Mckinley.

DELEGATES BECOME IMPATIENT
Speakers Interrupted by ClamOrous
Demands For n Vote.

Demands For Vote.
Disregarding the call for a vote,
Chairman Lodge recognized George
Knight, head of the California delega-
ton. AS he appeared upon the plat
form and addressed the convention his
first sentence, ringing through the
great building like trumpet call,
caught the fancy of the assemblage
and he was cheered enthusiastically.
Vote! Vote!" came from the dele
gates as Mr.. knight concluded, but the
chairman stilled the outcry and recog.
nized Governor Mount, of Indiana,
who, in behalf of the Hoosier state,
seconded the nomination of Mckinley.
It was a glowing eulogium to the
statesman-soldier president
The restive listeners broke in with
many demonstrations and calls Of
Vote" and Chairman Lodge was kept
busy with his gavel trying to main
tain order sufficient for the speaker to
be heard. AS Mount closed the couven-
ton again demanded a vote, and the
chair announced that the roll of states
would be called for the vote on the
nomination for president.
During the CALL of states the gal
leries were noticeably attentive, and
there was no unusual demonstration
among the delegates until New Yo1R' S
vote was announced. This brought
out round of applause. When Penn
sylvania's vote was announced by Col
Quay many of the delegates arose and
cheered. At the call of Hawaii the
delegations stood and cheered the an
nouncement of the new possession of
its two votes for Mckinley.
The tally clerks quickly made the
official summary and handed it to the
chairman. Mr.. Lodge took the paper,
and advancing to the front of the
stage, said: "The total vote cast is
926. William Mckinley has 926 votes.
1t is a unanimous vote, and the chair
man declares that William Mckinley
is your nominee for the presidency for
the term beginning March 4, 1901"
Now again pandemonium broke loose
in swelling chorus of enthusiasm for
the candidate. Up stood the great au-
dience, men and women mingling their
shouts and frantic demonstrations.
Mr.. Lodge warned the noisy and
demonstrative throngs that there was
still vital business to be done and an
nounced that the call of states would
proceed for nominations for the vice
presidency.

IOWA NAMES ROOSEVELT.
Nominated by Col. Young, Who Was
with Him in Cuba.


AS the name of Alabama was called
on the roll of states for the nominal
tion of candidates for vice president
the announcement was made by the
chairman of the delegation that Ala
bama would yield to Iowa.
Chairman Lodge then recognized
Col. Lafe Young, one of the Iowa dele
gates-at-large, and editor of the Des
Moines Capital. Robust and vigorous
in his physique and in his mentality.
Col. Young swung down the main
aisle to the platform to do that which
single orator never before did in
Republican national convention-with-
draw one strong and magnetic man as
candidate and present the name of
another for the second Office in the gift
OF the American people. He with
drew the name of Dolliver and offered
that of Roosevelt. Col. Young was in
Cuba at the time Roosevelt led his
gallant rough riders up San Juan hill
The demonstration which followed
the announcement by Col Young of
Governor Roosevelt as the candidate
of the young men of the country, who
represented their desires and their am
bitions and embodied their patriotism
and Americanism, was not second to
that accorded the presidents name
The vast assemblage sprang to its
feet and state emblems, pampas plumes
and hats and handkerchiefs filled the
air. The band in the main gallery be-
gan to play "There'll be Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" and to the in
spring strains the delegates began
marching around the hall, filing past
Governor Roosevelt as he sat in the
New York delegation and extending
/ to him their congratulations.

Every one stood and waved and yell
ed. State standards were wrenched
from their places and borne aloft with
umbrellas, great plumes of red and
white, perfect sea of color. Senator
Hanna sprang to the front of the stage,
a flag in one hand and a plume in the
other, and led in the tremendous demon
stration. Not content with their frenzied
hurrah on the floor delegates marched
in solid ranks upon the platform, with
standards, plumes, banners and flags.
After the demonstration had continued
seven minutes the Ohio delegation,
where centered the waves of sound,
moved up the aisle, while all the other
state delegations, bearing aloft their
standards, formed in a grand process
sion about the hall The demonstra-
tion lasted just ten minutes.

lowed by grand doxology in the sing

delegation led the singing.

nounced: "The chair recognizes Gov
ernor Roosevelt, of New York"
Again the magic of name sent the
multitude into convulsions of en-
thusiasm. All eyes were turned toward
Roosevelt. He stepped out in to the
aisle and strode up the platform, look
ing neither to the right nor to the left
and then turning and surveying the sea
of waving, cheering humanity. There
he stood, his face grimly set, without
smile. He made no acknowledgment,
no salutations to the plaudits, but, like
a hero receiving his due calmly, await
ed the subsistence of the tumult. At
last he raised his hand and at his bid
ding the demonstration came to an end.

Then Governor Roosevelt began his
speech. His sentences were delivered
in a manner that denoted careful
study of each word. Following is the
substance of Governor RoosAVelt's
speech
Mr. Chairman: 1 rise to second the
nomination of William Mckinley, the
president who has had to meet and solve
problems more numerous and more i'm
portant than any other president since
the days of mighty Abraham Lincoln;
the president under whose administration
this country has attained higher pitch
of prosperity at home and honor abroad
than ever before in its history. Four
years ago the Republican party nominat~
ed William Mckinley as its standard
bearer in a political conflict of graver
moment to the nation than any that has
taken place since the close of the civil
war saw us once more a reunited country.
The Republican party nominated him.

leans who We're both far sighted enough
to see where the true interests of the
country lay, and clear minded enough to
be keeny sensitive to the taint of dis
honor.
President Mckinley was triumphantly
elected on certain distinct pledges, and
those pledges have been made more than
good. We were then in condition of in

Kinley were elected not only should the
national honor be kept unstained at
home and abroad but that the mill and
the workshop should open, the farmer

chant for his wares, and that the wage
sarner should prosper as never before.
Well, we kept our word. The oppor-

Gradually the convention came back
to quiet, and the chairman recognized

speech seconding the nomination of the
president.
Senator Lodge then recognized John

also second the nomination on behalf
of the south. He said that no conven-
tion had ever been so unanimous for
a man as was this for Mckinley. His
state had given for the first time in
many years Republican majority for
William Mckinley in 1896, and it was

Almost instantly from all parts ot

Jesus PRAYING in Solitude.

Though we may not solve all the
mystery of Christ's incarnation, We
nevertheless may accept his example
as helpful to us in spiritual things.
He often retired alone to the wilder
ness or to the mountain top to pray.
And II he needed to pray, that he
might withstand temptation. how
much more do we need the comfort
and the light and the strength sent to
us through the medium of hearts
taught in prayer!
