Senator Depew's Address
When the applause had subsided
Cannon recognized Senator Depew,
whose appearance on the platform,
with Cannon grasping his hand. was
the inspiration for an outburs of APP
plause.
Depew's speech was in seconding the
nomination of Fairbanks. He reviewed
the history of the party and the won
derful development of the country. He
paid his compliments to the coming
Democratic convention, saying tha
party was one OF Opportunities, :" and
was waiting for bankruptcy and panic.
He said not enough Importance had
been given the vice presidential ques-
ton. Fairbanks he declared to be u
man equal to any position in the coun-
try. His words induced another DEM
o%nstration of enthusiasm. which lasted
for some time.
Cannon's next Introduction was Sem
ator Foraker. whose %seconding speech
evoked a warm tribute from the con-
ventton. His Characterization of Fair
banks as a fit running mate for Roose-
| Welt was energetic and called forth ap-
plause.
Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl-
Nanla was next introduced, and then
ex-senator Carter of Montana spoke
briefly, seconding Fairbanks.
AT the conclusion of Carriers address

a telegram from Hit suggesting his

Hearing one it only remains for
me to declare Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana the candidate of the republican
party for the term commencing March

Great confusion reigned and the con-
vention was OF its feet and the cry for
Fairbanks began.

Cannon had announced that Fairbanks
was not In the hall. Senator Dolliver
was recognized and offered a resolu-
ton providing that Cannon and Root
shall respectively head the committees
to notify Roosevelt and Fairbanks of
