Three minutes before 10 o’clock the Kan- sas delegation, headed by Colonel Burton, ith bright silk sunflowers pinned to their lapels, aroused the first enthusiasmas they marched down the main aisle bearing a white banner inscribed in big black letters the words, “Kansas is for Roosevelt.” As the delegates debouched into the pit the utmost gopd-nature was manifested. The contest was over. It was to be a love feast, a jubilee, and not a contest which the day was to witness. Governor Roosevelt entered at 10 o'clock.

Depew created a stir a little later, but it was Matthew Quay who aroused the shouts of the local crowd, Henry Cabot, Lodge, the permanent chdirman, reachied the stage at 10:15 and there was an interesting conference of the leaders in full view of the vast audience.

At 10:20 the big band from Canton, Ohio, | the President's home, made its way into | with the }I)‘ea.llng strains of the national | anthem. The whole audience rose to its | feet and stood until it was concluded. | The Canton band is one of the most pop- | ular . organizations of its kind in the United States. It is here,on the day of | the renomination of McKinley at the President’s own request and he regards the band as his ‘“‘mascot.” Heretofore in his Congressional and gubernatorial | contests and in 1896, in his contest, the | band played him to victory. When it was | suggested that the band could not be present the President insisted that it/ should be and at his request the noted organization was engaged. | Through the pit a squad of men was busy distributing great. stands. of red, white and blue pampas plumes, which later were to cut a big feature in the | demonstration. Picturesquely dignified and with a rather incongruous Setting there stood upon the platform during the reliminaries ‘Archbishop Ryan of the oman Catholic See at Philadelphia. His | ascetic face above the purple and black | clerical office stood out cameo-like from the group of politiclans of all classes and color and . in all man- ner-of dress.

Among the early arrivals in the hall was Mrs. Roosevelt. She sat in the front row on the west side of the hall, imme- diately to. the left of the first row of del- ggates. ~Accompanying her were Mra illlam J. Young, wife of the Governor's &rlvate secretary, and Professor Nicholas urray Butler of Columbia University of New York. Mrs. Rogsevelt was the cyno- sure of thousands of eyes. At 10:36 Chairman Lodge, with three raps of his historic gavel, stilled the tumult on the floor while the band ushered in the session with the Rational anthem, Senator Hanna being among the first to rise. As the anthem cl the chairman announced the opening invoca- tion by Archbishop Ryan. Archbishop Ryan’s Prayer.

In all American history there has been no chapter more brilliant than written by the United States with | him as chief.” During the reference to the great leafler of the arty, the successes already achieved by him and the grave responsi- bilities now being carried forward by him, the applause was frequent and long con- | tinued. But it remained for his closing sentence, for the first time mentioning Willlam McKinley by name as the nomt- | nee, to electrify the great muiltitade. | Pandemonium broke loose. Former tem- | pests of enthusiasm paled before this cy- clone of sound and movement. Every one stood amd waved and yelled. State | standards were wrenched from _thei: | places and borne aloft with umbrellas great plumes of red, white and blue—an perfect tempestuous sea of color. Senator Hanna sprang to the front of | the stage, a flag in one hand and a plume {in the other, and led in the tremendous demonstration. Now it had lasted five minutes. >t content with their frenzied hurrah on the floor, the delegates marck- ed in solid ranks upon the platform, with | standards, plumes, banners and flags. | After the demonstration had continued seven minut the Ohio delegation, where | centered the waves of sound, moved up the alsle, while all the other State dele. gatlons, bearing aloft their standards, formed in a grand procession about the | hall.

Cnafrman Lodge, as the hurrah began to subside, made an effort to restore order, but this was only a signal for the crowd to again break loose. It was exactly fifteen minutes when or- der was restored and Mr. Lodge nouncéd: “The chair recognizes Governor Roose- { velt of New York.” Again the magic of a name set the mul- | titude into convulsions of enthusiasm. | All eyes were turned toward Roosevelt. | He stepped out Into into the aisle and | strode up to the platform, looking neither to he right nor to the left, and then, tutn- ing, surveyed the sea of waving, cheer- ing humanity. There he stood, his face grimly set, without a smile. He made no acknowledgment, no salutations to the plaudits, but like a hero receiving his due, calmly awaited the subsidence of the tumult. At least he raised his hand and at his bidding_the demonstration came to an end. He wore a black cutaway coat, dark, striped trousers, turndown collar and biue necktie. The delegate’s bad on the red, white and blue ribbon, was lge only bit of color he wore.

As Rooseyelt saw it he said sharply: “Take that away: take it away.’ and a sergeant-at-arms rushed.the man and his apparatus out of the alsla. Roosevelt’s Seconding Speech. Then Governor Roesevelt began his speech, speaking in a clear, full voice. He said: Mr. Chairman: I rise to second the nomina- tion of William McKinley, the President who has to meet and solve problems more numerous since the days of the mighty Abraham Lineoin; the President under whose administration this country has attained a higher hitch of pros- &ty at home and honor abroad than ever be. 'ore in its history. Four years ago the Repub- lican party nominated Willlam McKinley as its § } ® } @ 3 % ¢ : : : )¢ DS + 3 § % ? selection, having failed to do so yester- day. ’lyhe chair then laid the amendment to the rules, offered yesterday by Mr. Quay, as the unfinished business before the con- vention. As the cheers died away at the mention of Quay's name the short aud sturdy figure of the Pennsylvanian arose in the middle aisle. In a thin voice, bare- ly heard at the platform. Mr. Quay an- nourced the withdrawal of the amendment froposln a change in ,rules 1 and 2, referring to re_Pruentauon in na- tional conventions. This was accepted by the Southern delegates as a concession to them, and they arose en masse, cheering wildly. Foraker Nominates McKinley. Now Mr. Lodge advanced to the front of the platform, and a thrill went through the vast audience as he announced: “Under the rules, nominations for the office of President,of the United States are now in order.” There was a momentary shout, which the chairman functured. A ““The State >f Alabama is recognized. A tall and swarthy Alabamian stood on his” ch: and by prearrangement an- swered: 3 “Alabama ylelds to Ohio/” This was_the signal for the recognition of Senator Foraker, who was to make the 8] h nominating Mr. McKinley as the mucu candidate for President.
