Chicago, June 24.-The swift, sure
current of public opinion for the sec.

took him to the front and character
istically introduced him to the audi
ence. But the orator chosen to present
the name of Roosevelt needed no fntro-
duction. The delegates proved this
and also that they knew his mission by
giving him a rousing reception before
permitting him to proceed.
Mr.. Black entertained his audience
by discussion of the party princi-
pies. He compared republican stand
ards with those of other parties. He
led up to the nomination gradually by
defining the type Of man best suitd for

convention that marks the semi-cen-
tennial Of the Republican party in the
United States.

his speech nominating Theodore
Roosevelt to succeed himself as presi-
dent the delegates in the Republican
convention proved there is no absence
of enthusiasm in their ranks when oc-
oaslon justifies exhibition of that quail
ity. For twenty-five minutes the great
throng told its appreciation of the con-
vention's choice for president. The
name of Roosevelt came from every
throat The New York delegates pa
raded the hall shouting at the tops of
their voices. Other delegations joined
the procession and the well-ordered
body of half an hour before was a
shifting mass, every semblance Of or
ganization gone.
While the demonstration was at It's
height Chairman Cannon stepped TO
the front Of the stage. He held in his
hand the banner which was waved In
1860. when Lincoln was nominated
and which has been used in every con-
vention since. The flag showed the
wear and tear OF many similar con-
tests. "Uncle joe waved it vigorous
ly and kept time with his body. Soon
the whole convention was swaying in
exact measure. The chairman tired,
and his place was taken by young
man, who grasped the flag staff firmly
in one hand and with megaphone led
the yelling. He started the call

At the conclusion of every seconding
speech the performance was repeated
and the speakers themselves were gen.
erously applauded.
When Senator Fairbanks had been
nominated for vice-president there was
no elimination in the demonstration.
Voices were heard but the noise for
the choice was just as unanimous as
it was in filling the first place on the
ticket.
