 Beginning of the Outburst.
 Throughout the day i4.00o persons packed inc coliseum. The convention was called to order at 1920, after wis. sting marcning ciubs had paraded .sround the auditorium. Senator Ful. roo. of Oregon, as chairman. presented rh~ credentials report. which was quickly approved, only ' few scatter ing delegates voting in the negative. It uas when Senator Lodge, after as. .mminy the gavcl as permanent chair man, reached that portion in his ad. -lrvss wherein he exclaimed;
 "Thc President is the best abused and most popular man in the United States today.v that the days big dem ,,nsl ration occurred. At once the dele. sztss and spectators rose to their feet -snd mounted chairs. The Kentucky resSs and Tennessee delegations werr =,,sticulating wildly. One delegate tore 'sf his coat, and whipping it above his hs~d, shouted himself into frenzy. f-x<s and Keptucky appeared to be ,be storm center of the din, with New Work and Ohio viewing it calmly, cx- a~ps Judge Marcns Snoup, of the latter delegation, who is a Forakcr delegate, uho added his voice to the general pan .siemonium.

 The cheers came like great waves of shs sea, dying away almost to nothing, rhen breaking out afrcsh with increas ed vigor. The galleries took up the demonstration and helped maintain it ,, long time. On the far side of the gallery a' number of Star Spangled t,iurDer umbrellas waved over the rail ,ER One Louisiana delegate pulled of' ais coat, swung it Touad and round 'rver his head, emitting piercing yells.
 !Longworths Much Moved.
 Senator Lodge smilingly waitcu for tho nproar to cease. Nicholas and Alice Longworth sat watching the spec tacle with emotion plainly visible on Their 'cpmtcnances, yet neither partic. imitcd. d'he convention band rekindlcd the fire nf enthusiasm by injecting strains of ''Star Spangled Banner'' and other patriotic airs, partly audi. hls, phrfly drowned by the universal nproar of human voices. M. Fairbanks, a brother of the vice president, caught the spirit from his scat on the plat form and leaped 10 his fcet, waving a newspaper frantically.
 For long timc the Ohio delegates -.sai mute tin excitement swcp, them from their moorings of taciturnity, and Delegate Shoup, mountaing chair tossed |, siiken bapuer up and down. Fms was thought to bo n signal of de- f,'r,irn in the Ohio ranks, but was uoihing of the kind. Shoup never was Tor Taft, being Foraker man. After she hst quarter of an hour of cease. tess shouting, the cry broke out in ,rncasured cadences which finally caught ]h. entire crowd in a chorus of -Four Ioar-fonr years morel" accompanied l,y stamping of thousands of feet
