As he turned to resume his seat on the platform Senator Hanna arose and cordially grasped his hand. Almost instantly from all parts of the hall came the cry, “Vote, vote, vote!” Delegates and spectators were becoming uneasy. They wanted ac- tion, not oratory. Disregarding a call for ‘the vote Mr. Lodge recognized George Knight, head of the California @elegation.

The Democratic party has crushed the foot of progress. It has put Uncle Sam to bed every time it has had anything to do with the Gov- ernment. (Laughter and applause.) And be- sides that it seeks alliance with the viclous and the outcast of others lands, who have no abid- ing place under the shadow of their own flag. (Applause.) That is the indictment against it, California for Expansion. It 1s going to have a Fourth of July in Kan- sas City—I wonder why the Fourth of July was picked out. The “Fourth of July." you remember when: ‘Our bugles sang truce, when the night cloud bad lowered, Do And the sentinel stars sat their watch in the sky % And thousands had sunk on the ground over- powered, The weary to sleep, and the wounded to dle.” That man (pointing to a portralt of McKin- ley) slept with his heart on the flag and no Democrat did that in those days. (Tremendous cheers and a voice, “That's right; that's right."”) California is fn favor of expansion. Why? Because when the pathfinder (Fremont) crossed the level plains, climbed the mountains of rocks and viewed the promised land, the Democratis did not count her as part of this national Union. All through the acquisition of California they used_the same argument on the stump and fn the United States Senate as is used at present, and we feel in California the injustice of that kind of argument, and you Democrats, if you want to hear anything about anti-expansion, get Corwin's speech of 1847 and read it and there is not an anti-expansionist in the land that can make one like it to-day. (Laughter and applause.) Callfornla comes here to sec- ond; California_favors with enthusissm the nomination of Willlam McKinley. To-day he stands as one beloved at home, before all the nations of the earth and as one of the greatest rulers that ever graced the Presidential chair of the United States. (Ap- plause.) November will soon be here and there wiil be'no doubt as to the gesults. The baliots are now counted in the m¥nds and hearts of the American peopie and four.more years of respect to law, respect to the flag and of hope; foith in the perpetuity of American institutions, and of honor to the name of Willlam McKin- ley will follow this nomination. (Applause.) Mount’s Glowing Eulogy. “Vote, vote,” came from the delegates as Mr. XKnight concluded, but the chair- man stilled the outery and recognized Governor Mount of Indiana, who, on be- half of the Hoosler State, seconded the nomination of Mr. McKinley. It was a glowing eulogism to the statesman-soldier President. It was apparent that the con- vention was eager for definite results and a growing hum spread through the hall as Governor Mount spoke, He said: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: 1 arise to second the nomination of a man who has ably discharged every responsi- bility in peace and war; one who In the perflous crisis of the great civil conflict in this country, though but a mere youth, displayed the loyalty of a vatriot and the courage of a hero. This man enlisted as a private soldler and fought in the front rank of battle until the Union was saved and honored peace restored. He is a statesman as well as a Datriot; a_creator of Statutes as well as a defender of liberty. Tis became a leader In the Congress of the Uniteq States.

HILADELPHIA, June 21.—In nom- inating Willlam McKinley Presidency Senator Foraker ad- dressed the Republican National Conventlon as follows: Mr. Chatrman ahd Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: Alabama yields to Ohio, and I thank Ala- bama for that accommodation. Alabama has 60 vielded, however, by reason of a fact that Wonld seem in an {mportant sense to make the Juty that has been nssigned fo me a super- fnous duty, for Alabama has vielded because of the fact that our candidate for the Presidency has in fact been already nominated. (Ap- pinuse.) He was nominated by the distin- Fulshed Senator from Colorado when he as- famed the duties of temporary chairman. e was nominated again yesterday by the distin- guished Senator from Massachusetts when he Took the office of permanent chairman and he Was nominated for a third time when the Sen- ator from Indiana yesterday read us the plat- form. (Applause.) And not only has he been thus nominated by this convention, but he has also been nominated by the whole American Deaple. (Applause.) From one end of this land to the other, in every mind, only one and the same man s thought of for the honor which we are now about to confer and that gnan is the cholce of every man who wishes sucess in the country. (Applause.) Upon this account it is indeed not necessary for me or any one else to speak for him here or elsewhere: he has already spoken for himself. (Applause.) BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENTS. And to all the world has a record replete with brilllant achlevements. (Applause.) A record that bespeaks at once both his perfec- tions and his highest eulogies. It comprehends both peace and war and constitutes the most striking tllustration of the inspiring fidelity and success in the discharge of public duty, Four years ago the American people confided to him_thelr highest and most sacred trust.

(Applause.) In one hundred days we drove Spain from the western hemisphere, girded the earth with out ecquisitions and filled the world with the splen- dor of our power. (Applause.) NEW GLORY FOR THE FLAG. The American name commands greater sig- nificance now. Our flag has new glory: it not only symbolizes human liberty and political equality at home, but it mea; freedom and independence for, the long-suffering patriots of Cuba and complete protection, lightenment, ernment and enjoyment of all the blessings of education en- uplifting and ultimate self-gov- | 1 And while we are | l | for ourselves we propose most genergflsly to go | for them. (Applause.) There could be no more fitting place for this party to make such a declaration than here in this magnificent olty of Philadelphia, where the evidences abound of the rich blessings the Republican party has brought to the American peopie. Here at the birthplace of the nation, where our own dec- laration of independence was adopted and our constitution was framed, where Washington and Jefferson andsHancock and Adams and thelr illustrious associates wrote their immortal work; here where center so many historic mem- orfes that stir the blood and flush the cheek and excite the sentiments of human liberty and patriotism is indeed a fitting place for the party of Lincoln and Grant and Garfleld and Blaine (applause), the party of liberty to all men, to formally dedicate themselves to this great duty; we are now In the midst of its discharge. We could not turn back if we would and we would not if we could. (Applause.) We are on trial before the worid and we must triumphantly meet our responsibilities or ignominiously fail in the presence of mankind. These responsibill- tles speak to this convention here and now and command us that we choose to be our candidate and the next President—which is one and the same thing—the best-fitted man for the dis- charge of this great duty In all the republic. (Applause.) On that point there is no differ- cnce of opinfon. No man in all the nation is S0 well qualified for this trust as the great leader under whom the work has been so far conducted. He has the head; he has the heart; he has the spectal knowledge and the spectal experience that qualify him beyond all others. And. Mr. Chairman, he has also the stainless reputation and character and has led the blame- less life that endear him to his countrymen and give to him their confldence, the respect, the admiration, the love and the affection of the whole American people. an ideal man, representing the highest type of American citizenship, an idedl candidate and an ideal President. With our banner in his hands it will be carried to trfumphant victory in November next. (Applause.)

The anathemas of the Democrati¢ party :‘e‘:‘a showered upon that law, and from the same source came direful prophecies that c: Jamity would follow its adoption. On the con- trary, however, the wisdom of that measure was speedily proclaimed through flaming fur- naces and forges which illuminated the night ana by mew Industries and expanded markets. Tt made the closing year of Genera] Harrison’s filustrious administration the climax of na- tional prosperity achieved up to that period. The induction of the Democratic party into wer in 1893 brought in its train ruined mar- ots, declining values, diminishing exports, idle men and a general shrinkage of produetion. In lleu of the promised better times the results were loss of confidence, distress and dlsaster-- a alsmal heritage of ‘Democratic Incapacity.

'The finger of progress that had been turned back- ward on the dial of time by Democratic in- competency and misrule once more moved for- ward under the Inspiring guildance of President McKinley.

The military and naval power of the United States was thus exalted before the nations of the earth, and the name of Willlam McK became honored and extolled by the people all lands. Like Abrabam Lincoln, our Presi- dent has been made the target of abuse by men who will yet, in the calmer moments of candor, extoll his fairness, his efficiency, his fidelity and his greatness. Sons of {llustrious sires, who"wore the blue and the gray, have unitedly carried “Old Glory” to victory. They have planted the en- sign of liberty, the flag of our Uniom, in the Antilles and in the Orient, there to remain as a covenant promise of better government to the inhabitants. Mighty problems unforestalled have ari They have been and are now being met in this period of transition, the history-making, geog- raphy-changing epoch of the world. We need a man, we must have a man equal to the grave Tesponsibilities that may arise. Platfo cannot forecast poiicies for unforeseen em gencles. God give us men'! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands—tall men, sun-crowned. who live above the fog In public and In private thinking. This convention has named such a man. I therefore take great pleasure in seconding the pomination of him who stands before the worll a clear-headed, clean-handed, strong-hearted patriot, statesman and hero, a typical Ameri- can, a Christian gentleman—Willlam McKinley, Roll of States Called. The restive listeners broke in with many demonstrations and calls of “vote™ and Chairman Lodge was kept busy with his gavel trying to maintain sufficient or- der for the speaker to be heard. As he closed the convention againddemanded a vote and the chairman announced that the roll of States would be called for the vote on nomination for President. At 12:37 the vote began. During the call of States for the vote on the Presidential candidate the galleries were noticeably attentive and there was no unusual demonstration among the del- egates untfl New York's vote was an- nounced by Chairman Odell. This brought out a round of applause. When Penn- sylvania’s vote was announced by Sena- tor Quay many of the delegations arose and cheered. Some of the States were not content with casting their votes for MeKinley, but the chalrman announced the vote which the candidate would reeeive in No- vember. When Hawail was called the del- egates stood up and cheered the an- nouncement of fits vote of two for Me- Kinley. The secretary hurriedly made the sum- mary and handed it to the .chairman. Senator Lodge took the paper and ad- vancing to the front of the stage said: “The total vote cast is §30. 'Willlam Me- Kinley has received 930 votes. It is a unanimous vote and_ the chairman an- nounces William McKinley as your can- didate for President for the term begin- ning March 4, 191" Agaln pandemonium broke loose in one swelling cheer of enthusiasm for the can- didate. Up went the plumes and stand- ards. Up stood the great audience, men and women mingling their shouts in the frantic demonstration. The band played “Rally Round the Flag.” and the Ham- fiton Club of Chicago marched down the alsle, preceded by New York and followed by Pennsylvania. The huge counterfeit of an elephant, emblem of Republican strength, was brought into the hall. Around its meck Contiued on Fifth Page,
