and a bow. but the junior senator ap- parently did not realize that he was being honored. for he turned Eis back ! upon his friends in the gallery while | they were still applauding him, and walked slowly back to the seats in the crowd.
 DR. DEPEW MADE TO DELIVER.
 Chauncey M. Depew was the recipi- ent of a hearty welcome as he came | through the main entrance on the west side of the building. The senator walked down towards the platform, en- tirely oblivious of a doorkeeper, who did not know him and was entering to learn if he was properly entitled to the privileges of the hall. Half way up to the seats of the New York delegation,
 just in the left center of the platform,
 the senator was oVertaRen and made to | deliver. Close behind the New York
 senator came the senior representative
 of Illinois, Shelby NJ. Cullom, who
 sought the seats of the Illinois de,ega-
 ton without greeting.
 Following closely upon Senators Gull lom and Depew, came Uncle Joe' Can non, his black felt hat damned down
 on his head. He was walking back and forth in the crowd in front of the plat form without attracting attention, save for 9 few handshakes from Washington friends. When he removed his hat, recognition by the gallery was instan- taneous and the speaker was warmly greeted by the balconies and delegates. By a quarter of twelve, each entrance to the main floor was pouring in
 stream of delegates. They came in
 quietly, few delegations arriving in a
 body. Mingling with the strains Of
 a band was d great hum of cOnversa-
 tiOn but there was no disorder. The
 hall filed rapidly, hut the galleries
 were slower and ten minutes before the
 hour set for th&presiding officers gavel to fall, there WIS a wilderness of va Icant chairs in the great balconies. , A few minutes before P the Coliseum
 resounded with a burst of applause. It was the greeting to Henry c. Payne,
 acting chairman, and Elihu Root of New York. temporary chairman. They F. proceeded ct once to the platform. A FAIRBANKS DEMONSTRATION. S Senator Fairbanks, at the head of , the Indiana delegation, entered, the first ovation was rendered. A smile lit up the face of the senator as, amid round after round of applause and the first, cheers to be heard, he worked his , way to the seats of the Indiana dele | gation, near the platform. When the
 hands of the big clock over the main f entrance marked F o'clock, the floor
 was filled, but the galleries held not , more than half their capacity. Another
 prominent arrival at this rncment was , eX-GovernCr Black, of New York. With three severe raps of his gavel, ; Acting Chairman Payne called the con- - vention to order at 12:16 He then in- troduced Rev. Timothy Frost, pastor of the First Methodist church of Evans

 Senator Scott, on behalf Of the Chica- go citizens committee which co-operat- ed with the national committee or ar
 judgements for the conventicn, then
 presented Acting National Chairman Henry c. Payne with handsome gav- el. It was large and made for business. A heavy gilt band was inscribed "Mr. 2 Henry c.

 outside, to some extent, drowning the
 voice of the clerk.
