polled 253iz votes. He got forty-two
from his own state and aside from

AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO,

AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO,
June 10, 1888 p.m.-At the very
moment when it was flashed to
the progressive convention that
Hughes had been nominated at
the Coliseum as the standard
bearer of the republican party
Chairman Robins of the progress
sive convention was announcing
that Col. Roosevelt had been
unanimously nominated as the
progressives' leader, the conven-
ton went wild and there was no
way to inform the delegates what
had transpired at the Coliseum.
For several minutes Chairman
Robins vainly raped for order.
While the report of the confer
ence committee was being consid-
cred, James A. Garfield inter-
rupted proceedings and asked the
convention to suspend regular or
der of business until news from
the republican convention should
arrive. This was agreed to.
Less than a minute later Chair
man Robbins called for the nomi-
nation of a President, and Balm
bridge Colby of New York was
recognized to nominate Col.
Roosevelt amid great applause.
He had spoken but two min
utes when he mentioned the col
oners name, and a storm of ap-
plause broke over the convention.
This was soon checked, however,
and Gov. Hiram Johnson of Cali
fcrnia very briefly seconded the
nomination.
