GREAT DEMONSTRATION FOL-
 LOWS EACH NOMINATION.. The Second Time in the History of the Party That the Ticket Has Been Chosen without Single Objection in the Convention - Stirring Scenes During the Proceedings-Ten ThOus- and Men and Women Participate in the Impromptu Ratification.
 Chicago, June 23-The swift, sure current of public opinion for the second time in the history of republican con- ventions to-day resulted in the selection of a national ticket without a dissent ing voice. Theodore Roosevelt, for president, and Charles w. Fairbanks, for president, received every vote in the convention.
 Regardless of the fact that the non- ination of one had been assured for months and the other for days, the an- nouncement of the choice was accom- panied by resounding demonstration which attested the candidates univer- sal popularity. The cheering was led by figures known through the breadth | of the land and echoed by a mighty throng of enthusiastic men and women assembled in the Coliseum to witness the crowning feature as well as the o1n nft In ,o1 vrnia marks the semi-centennial of the re- publican party in the United States.
 No less than ten thousand men and women participated in the ratification of the party programme, and the con- sequent oar of cheering and handclap- ping was deafening. The band, sta toned high among the girders of the hall, was drowned by the tumultuous, unbounded demonstrations Hats were tossed in the air, state embiems were waved and f1ags-beautiful tri-colored shimmering silken fiags-huttered from every hand as though stirred by gale. When ex-Governor Black of New York, made his speech nominating The odore Roosevelt to succeed himself as president the delegates in the republi- can convention proved that there is no absence of enthusiasm in their ranks when occasion justifies exhibition of that quality. For twenty-five minutes the great throng told it's appreciation of the conventions choice for presi- 1ent The name of Roosevelt came from every throat. The New York delegates paraded the hall shouting at she tops of their voices Other delega- sions joined the procession, and the well-ordered body of half an hour be- fore was shifting mass, every sem olance of organization gone.
 While the demonstration was at it's height Chairman Cannon stepped to he front of the stage. He held in his hand the banner which was waved in 860 when Lincoln was nominated and which has been used in every conven- ion since. The flag showed the wear nd tear of many similar contests. Uncle Joe'' waved 1t vigorously and iept time with his body. Soon the whole convention was swaying in exact measure. The chairman became tired nd his place wa staken by a young nan who grasped the flagstaff firmly one hand and, with megaphone, sd the yelling. He started the call, Roosevelt. Roosevelt, Roosevelt re- eated over and over again with the ystem of a college yell. It was taken D by the throng and the cry of Roosevelt rolled over the hall in vol mes so great and so terrific that the ounds of hundred steam whistles 'ould have been dwarfed in compari- pn.
 The delegates, in their eagerness to yhibit approval of the nomination, ccepted every signal for renewed heering.
 A little colored boy from Georgia and ter pretty little girl dressed in a Ainty frock of white were lifted to the atform and they waved flags with as uch vigor as their more lusty ompter
 At the conclusion of every seconding beech the performance was repeated, nd the speakers themselves were gen. ously applauded.
