The men who applaud prayers at large gatherings were present and signalized their approval of the divine's invocation with hand and’voice. Pioneer Republicans Greeted. A remarkable tribute to the flag and to the pioneers of the Republican party now occurred. . Mr. Wolcott stepped forward and stated that fifteen survivors of the first Republican Convention called at Pittsburg forty-four years ago were pres ent with the same old flag used at the convention. At that moment a flle of white haired [airiarchs appeared from the:rear, bear- ng at their head a faded American flag, lgtlvrng ;ndAbnrfily held to(e:dherhhy a cross staff. “As the flag apeared, the au- Gience arose, delefates, Bpectators and s et eteieteteteg thee for the iand in | & boei e *-5-+-0-0 R e S SaCa S S .

The report read, Mr. Payne demanded the previous question. Senator Sewell, on behalf of New Jersey, and Mr. Martin, on behalf of Indiana, seconded the demand, wh.ch was ordered, No one demanded the floor to debate the report and it was put through with a_whirl. The convention, which evidently felt relieved at this quick disposition of the contests, signified its a?‘roval with applause. - neral Grosvenor of Ohlo, chalrman of B s s et i s ] NVENTION CLEARS THE WAY FOR NOMI | @4-04-5-4-0400-040404-00000404040-4-04-0-+0+0¢ NATIONS 'Vast Assemblage Stirred to Enthu- siasm by Chairman Lodge’s Eloquent Word Picture of the Achievements of Republicanism.

One of the greatest honors that can fall to any American in_public life is to be called to preside over a Republican national conven- tion. How great the honor is you know., but cannot realize, nor can I express the gratitude which T feel to you for having conferred it upon me. I can only say to you, in the sim- plest phrase, that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. “‘Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, and yet I thank you."
