LOUIS, Mo., June 18—The Conven- tion Hall promised to be very warm today. very arrangement had been made to keep building as cool as possible, but with the < sun beating down with intensity there was every prospect of a sweltering time. ‘The spectators and delegates pro: themselves with fans, which were freely used. Before the hour for calling the convention to order arrived the wilderness of seats in the galleries was } with the same dense crowd of people, and the vast hall roared with the dull, indescribable murmur of thousands of human voices. ‘The thicd and probably the last day of the convention began at i o'clock, when, in response to the gavel's rap, the delegates arose for prayer. The officiating minister was Dr. John R. Scott of Jack- sonville, Fla, the second colored pastor who has conducted the devotional pre- lude. Although Dr. Scott's voice was a strong ene, s0 great was the confusion of | entering delegates and spectators it could | be teld only from the movement of the | m: ang. | hen the first opportunity fer delegates to use their voices fresh after a night's | rest was afforded when Chairman Thurs- | without any preliminar: business by announcing that the first thing on the program. was the report of | the committee on resolutions. | Senator-elect ph B. Foraker of Ohio crowded to the front and climbed the steps to the stage, while tne crowds sent up a yell. The platform, which he be gan to read ,was with a few immaterial amendments in its verbiage the one tel graphed throughout the country by the Associated Press Tuesday night. The Pintform. The platform as follow: The republicans of the United Stat sembled their representatives in na- tional convention, appealing for the popn- lar and historical justification of their | claims to the matchless achievements of the thirty years of republican rule, estly and confidently address the to the awakened intelligence, experien: and conscience of their countrymen in the following declaration of facts and princi- | ples or the first time since the civil war the | by an people have witnessed the ca- lamitous consequences of fuli and unre- stricted democratic control of the gove ment.

In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted | industry and trede with prolonged depres- | sion, closed factories, reduced work and woes, halted enterprise and crippied ! American production while stimulating for- | preduction for the American market. | balance so Senator Teller. Every consideration of public safety and ir dividual Interest demands that the gov- ernment i be rescued from the hands of these who have shown themselves in- capable to conduct it without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty years administered it with unequaled s' cess and prosperity, and in this connection we heartily indorse the wisdom, patriotism and the success of the administration of Prestdent Harrison. ‘Tart We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American industrial independence and the foundation >f American development end prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages home industr; t puts the burden of reve- nue on foreign goods; it secures the Ameri can market for the American producer; it | upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingrian; it puts the factory by the eide of the farm and makes the American farmer less dependent on fereign demand and price; it diffuses gen- ral thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In its reasonable application it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign controi and do- mestic monopoly, to sectional discrimina- tion and individual favoritism. We denounce the present democratic tar- iff as sectional, injurious to the public cred- it and destructive to business enterprise. We | demand such an equitable tariff en foreign j imports, which come into competition with American products, as will not only furnish | wage | w+ do not produce; reciprocity agreements | Che Lvening Star.

The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the conditions of the | rime and of production; the ruling and un- compromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement and then it wants rest. Reciprocity. We welleve the repeal of the reciprecity arrangements negotiated by the last re- publican administration was a national ca- lamity and we demand their renewal and extension cn such terms as will equalize our trade with “other nations, remove the restrictions which row obstruct the sale of American products in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests and fac- tories, Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of republican policy and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re- established. Protection for what we produce; free ad- fon for the necessaries of life whic sary €X- m of mutual interests which gain open mar- kets for us in return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Suga We condemn the present administration for not keeping faith with the sugar pro- ducers of this country. The republican party favers such protection as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all market vroducts—to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory—to hemp, to wool, the product of the great industry of sheep busbandry, as well as to the finished wool- ens of the mill—we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We faver restoring the early American pelicy of discriminating duties for the up- building of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping in the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships—the product of American labor, employed in American ship yards, sailing under the | stars and stripes, and manned, officered and owred by Americans—may regain the carrying of our fcreign commerce. Money. The republican party fs unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are uralterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency | or izapair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by internatioral agree- ment with the leading commeivcial nations } of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper rency must be maintained at parity th gold, and we favor all measures de- signed to maintain inviclably the obliga- tions of the United States and all our mon- ey, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlight- ened nat:ons of the earth.

Depe Great enthusiasm prevailed as Depew walked to the platform to begin his speech nominating Morton. (Mr. Depew's speech will be found on Page 2 of this edition of The Star.) Mr. Depew made a_ reference to “the erring brothers” who had w wondered what they would do when th ascended the celestial stairs and found that the palace was, according to the apostle, made of gold. Mr. Depew’s speech nominating Morton was @ brilliant effert, and was frequent- ly interrupted by applaus. Mr. Depew referred to the mention of Morton's name for Vice F - s dent, and said Mr. Morton declared that he would not accept it unless it came unanimously, and as it could not come in that way, he would not accept. ‘The mention of Ohio set the convention wild. Governor Bushnell was on his chair seeking recognition Plumes and flags were waving In every part of the hall. Mr. Han- na motioned for quiet. Senator Foraker went to the stage. The cheering was re- newed. Senator Foraker, at 3.07, began ech, nominating Major McKinley. The crowd of fifteen thousand went wild, and applauded for ten minutes. More than half the delegates climbed on their chairs, waving hats, and there was terrific cheering. Gov. Bushnell mounted a chair and was recognized, but the enthusiasm was so grest that he could not be heard for a minute, Delegates in every part of the hall were standing on the seats waving red, white and blue plumes, flags, umbrellas and handkerchiefs everywhere. Added to the Ladies and Prominent men on the stand were cheering and waving banners and plumes. Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania remained seated, with few exceptions. Chris Magee of the Pennsylvania delega- tion, Matthews of the New York deleza- tion, were on their chairs joining in the applause. Mr. Hanna waved his handkerchief, and the band played “Marching Through Georgia.” The entire convention took up the song with great vigor. There were many ladies’ voices. No effort was made to check the enthusiasm. Mark Hanna beat the time to the singing.

The band began playing “Hail Colum- bia.” The Ohio standard was taken to the speaker's stand and waved amidst the tumult. Senator Foraker stood upon the stage waiting for the convention to sub- side. The delegations voting for silver did not join in the demonstration. A man with a Napoleonic hat walked across to the desks of the newspaper cor- respondents and took his place on the stand amid tumultuous cheers, The band struck up “Maryland.” Senator Foraker’s Speech, Mr. Foraker said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: It would be exceedingly diffi- cult, if not entirely impossible, to exag- gerate the disagreeable experiences of the last four years. The grand aggregate of the multitudinous bad results of a demo- cratic national administration may be summed up as one stupendous disaster; it has been a disaster, however, not without at least one redeeming feature—it has been fair; nobody has escaped it. (Laughter.) It has fallen equally alike upon all sections of our country and all classes of our peo- ple—the republican and the democrat, the rich and the poor, the big and the low have suffered in common. dleness and the consequent poverty and distress have been the rewards of labor; distress and bankruptcy have overtaken business; shrunken values have dissipated fortunes; deficient revenues have impover- Maine, who seconded the nomination of | jshed the government, brought about bond Ree When Senator Lodge mentioned Mr. Reed by name there was a most inspiring scene. The applause was tremendous, and all over the hall delegates stood upon their chairs, and cheered. Even in states known to be favorably to McKinley the delegates seized this opportunity to do homage to the great Speaker and to demonstrate their regard for him. The daughter of Andrew Gleeson of Washington, who wag on the platform, stood up and waved a picture of the Speak- er, for which she received three cheers from the New England delegations. When New York was called, Sutherland said the name of her favorite son would be issues, and bond syndicates have discour- aged and scandalized the nation. “Over against this fearful penalty Is, however, to be set down one great com- pensating result, it has destroyed the dem- ocratic party. (Applause.) The proud columns which swept the country in tri- umph in 1892 are broken and noiseless in 1896. Their boasted principles, when they came to the test of a practical application, have proven nething but fallacies, and their great leaders have degererated into war- ring chieftains of petty and irreconcilable. factions.

When the silver delegates left the hall they scattered, going to their various hotels. It had been supposed that they would pro- ceed to a designated place for the purpose of holding a conference, but it appeared that there had been no general understand- ing to this effect. Senator Teller was joined by Delegate Stevenson of Colorado, and as soon as he left the building was pushed into a carriage and rapidly driven to Mr. Stevenson's apartments at the Southern Hotel. Mr. Stevenson left the Senator there, and im- mediately proceeded to the St. Nicholas Hotel,where, it was understood, there would be a meeting later of the silver men. From this was evident the purpose of the Sena- tor’s co-adjutants that he should be ex- cluded.

He asked with interest about the specches made by Mr. Lodge and Governor Foraker, ch placing Reed and McKinley in nomination, and did not appear to have lost his interest in the proceedings by any means. “Feel bad?" said he, in reply to a ques- tion. “Of course, the situation is not one calculated to develop over-cheerfulness, but what was to be done the convictions One cannot ce of a lifetime for the paltry Purpose of maintaining a party name.” | Further than this, the Colorado Senator declined to say anything, remarking that he had given full expression to his feelings | in the convention During the afternoon a number of modest whtte badges made their appearance at the | Colorado quarters, bearing the inscription: | “We are solid for Teller as Teller ts solid for silver.” GARRET A. HOBART. McKin ess Com, mom pa Ticket. Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey, the re- j publicrn nominee for Vice President, is fifty-two years old. His temper is cven, he is a courteour and polished man of the world, his personal, political and business reputation is of the best, and he is an experienced parliamentarian. Mr. Hobart is a native Jers 1 and a graduete of Rutgers College. He was speaker of the house of assembly and twice president of | the rtate senate, and in ISM4 was the ree | publican caucus ncminee for United States | Senator. That same year he was chosen a member of the republican national com- mittee, and he still represents New ‘sey in that body. The esteem in which Mr. Hobart is held by his fellow Jerseymen may be inferred from the fact that cent state coavention unanimously re: mende him to the national convention as a candidate for Vice President. Mr. Ho- bart is emphaucally in faver of a gold standard, and it was largely through his influence that the republican state conv tion of New Jersey adopted the following the Re- r plank: “The standard vaiue in this country and in the other principal comercial nations of the world is gold.
