ond time in the hlBtory of Republican

lected without a dissenting vote.
Theodore Roosevelt, for president,
and Charles W. Fairbanks, for vice
president, received every vote in the
convention.
No fewer than 10,000 men and wo
men participated in the ratification of
the party program and the consequent
roar of cheering and handclapping
was deafening. The band stationed high
among the girders of the hall, was
drowned by the tumultuous, unbound
ed' demonstration. Hats were tossed
In the air, state emblems were waved,
and flags, beautiful trl-colored, shim
mering silken flags, fluttered from ev
ery hand as though stirred by a gale.
When, from sheer exhaustion, the
throng lessened Its tumult. Speaker
Cannon found his opportunity. Going
to the very edge of the platform he
knelt and pounded the floor for order.
It was 10:30 o'clock when Speaker
Cannon called the convention to trder.
Without preliminaries of any kind he
announced the order of the day and
Instructed the secretary to call the roll
for nominations for president. By
agreement, Alabama, the first on tbe
roll, yielded to New York. Former
Governor Black made bis way to the
platform. Speaker Cannon took him
to tbe front and Introduced him to
the audience.
Mr. Black entertained his audience
by a discussion of party principles. He
oom pared Republican standarda with
those of other parties. He led up to
the nomination gradually by defining
the type of man best suited for the
party color bearer.
As he named Theodore Roosevelt as
tbe best eiample of that type the con
vention rose. The New York deleg
tlon led in the cheering, which almost
Immediately spread to every part of
the floor, to the galleries, and to the
crowds which filled the entrance and
overflowed into the streets.
When Governor Black made his
speech nominating Prestdatil Roose
velt to succeed himself as president
the delegates in the Republican con
vention proved there Is no absence of
enthusiasm In their ranks when ocra
slon Justified tbe exhibition of that
quality. Fur twenty five minutes the
great throng told Its approbation of
the convention's choice for president.
While the demonstration was at its
height. Chairman Cannon stepped to
the front of the stage. He held In his
hand tbe banner which was wared In
1SG0 when Lincoln was nominated and
hlch has liw used In every ronven
tlon since. The flag showed the wear
and tear of many similar contests.

and Joined the main uect, the enemy
had cleared the fairway with the aid
of their dragging steamers. The No
vik steamed out to sea. Our third

drew the enemy southward on a south
easterly course. Our first squadron,
waiting for the enemy, had concentrat
ed all Its destroyers. At 6: IS o'clock
