Chicago, June 22.-After twenty
hours of recess, every minute OF
which, however, was taken up in
committee and preliminary work, the
great republican national convention
was again called to order about half
past twelve today. The lack of en-
thusiasm noted yesterday was more
than made up for today and the i'm
mense assembly on several occasions
fairly went wild. Although expect
ed, one of the biggest causes for a
demonstration was the announcement
by Senator Cullom, Of Illinois, Of the
withdrawal of Mr.. Hit from the vice
presidential race. This means that
Fairbanks will be nominated by ac-
clamation and that Senator DolliYerI
will have the honor or presenting Mr..
Fairbanks name to the convention.
