ure the proceedings of the republican

corted to the platform to WELD the
gavel as the permanent chairman the
entire atmosphere of the convention
changed. Enthusiasm which had lain

THE THIRD DAY.

Roosevelt and Fairbanks Named as
the Candidates.
Chicago, June 24-Chairman Cannon
called the republican national conven-
ton to order at 1890 a. m: Thursday.
Rev. Thaddeus A. Snively, rector of St.
Chrysostoma's church, was presented
and invoked the Divine blessing.
Call for Nominations.
Chairman Cannon at once announced
that the next order of business would be
a roll call of the states for the nominal
ton of president of the United States.
The clerk called Alabama" and i'm
mediately Oscar R. Hundley, of that
state, mounted chair and announced
that Alabama requested the honor and
privilege of yielding its place on the roll
to the state of New York.
Instantly the convention was in an
uproar. The New York delegation were
on their feet like one man waving their
flags and shouting wildly. Ex-Gov.
Frank Black, of New York, who was to
deliver the nominating speech in behalf
Of President Roosevelt, Immediately
started for the platform amid the wild
est enthusiasm on the part of the dele
gates.
Mr.. Black said both parties agreed
on one plank-the equality of man
the difference being that the democrats
sought to make all "as low as the low
est" and the republicans "as high as
the highest" "Never interrupt the enc
my while he is making a mistake"
was one epigrammatic remark. cine
most important arguments are afford
ed by contrast" was another. Mr..
Black then proceeded to contrast the
unity of the republicans with the dis
sent Of the democrats on principles
and men. He said the party needed no
new name. 1t had never failed to ex-
press the calm will of the people. He
said the party was ever ready to ad-
vance convictions and give reason for
them.
Convention in Uproar.
Gov. Black pronounced the nominal
ing words at just 11:06 o'clock. AS he
did so he retired quickly from the plat
form. But the words. Theodore Roose-
welt" had not left his lips when there
was shout. The convention was on
its feet. Like the crash of thunder
that follows the lightning, the enthus-
iasm began. Flags were in the air,
hats were thrown up, men jumped on
to their chairs, women stood and
shouted. The air was rent with one
continuous prolonged shout from
thousands of throats So mighty was
the volume of sound that nothing
definite in the way, of artculate sound
was distinguished. At this point, the
band struck up. Its strains, however,
were only family discernible in the
mighty din. Then, Chairman Cannon
took hand. Unfurling tattered silk
flag, he advanced to the extreme edge
Of the platform and began to wave it.
The applause continued about %
minutes, when Chairman Cannon Wig
orously raped for order.
Seconding Speeches Made.
Seconding speeches were made by
Senator Beverage, of Indiana; George
A. knight, of California: Harry Stilwell
Edwards, of Georgia; Ex-Gov. Bradley
of Kentucky; Joseph B. Cotton, of Min
nesota, and Harry s. Cummings, of
Maryland
The clerk then called the roll by
states. When Alabama responded
with her entire vote for Roosevelt;
there was a cheer. AS the states fol-
lowed in alphabetical order and each
response ended with the words "Theo-
