NOISE IN CONVENTIONS.
Notable Instances Taken From Cam
paign History.

The noisiest, the jolliest, the
most exciting, and perhaps least
logical campaign was that of 1910
Henry Harrison, hero of an Indian
victory at Tippecanoe, plain old
man. who had lived, his opponents
sneeringly said, in a log cabin de-
corated with coon skins and had
drunk hard cider, was selected by
Thurlow Weed as a better candi-
date than Henry Clay. The issues
between Van Buren,, the democratic
candidate, and Harrison were not
clearly drawn, but the adventurous
circumstances of Harrisons early
life were skf1lfully utilized for the
atrical effects. PROFESSIONS. miles
long, with log cabins. cider barrels
and coon-skin caps on poles,
stretched from state to state. Glee
clubs were a feature of the cam
paign, and the Indian fighter was
fairly sung into office.
In the convention of 1860 began
the modern custom of cheering and
counter cheering. The Seward con-
tingent gave a parade the day of
the convention. While they were
marching Lincoln supporters filled
the wigwams. With the naming of
the candidates began the cheering.
Murat Halstead says that when
Seward was nominated and second
ed "the shouting was absolutely
frantic: shrill and wild. Comanches
or panthers never struck a higher
note nor gave screams with more in
fernal intensity Looking from
the stage over the vast ampithea-
ter, nothing was to be seen below
but thousands OF hats-a black
mighty swarm of hats-flying with
the velocity of hornets. over mass
of human heads. most of the mouths
Of which were OPEN z" VIZ"

storm, took deep breaths all round,
and gave a scream that was posi-.
lively awful, and accompanied II
with stamping that made every

nominated. The shouting was sc
