1, pees man who hiui not his superior In all this
free ooantrr of ours. . when he returned from
the war, foor. with only a dollar, having entor
eel the Borvlco of his country ut 24, at
9B ho was n Br gadlvr-Oonoral In tho
armies of the Uultod States, mndo no
by, a gallant and brave conduct on the
Held of battle., on. . tho recommendation
, of Gen. Philip II. Sheridan. This mnn has ox-
7 hlblted great skill In tho selection of mon as
he doe, to-day In his business Interest. It was
at his request that the Governor nave to
Philip It. Sheridan the first commission, and
he was tho first bcaror of this commission, nnd
It was becausoof his gonornl skill and ability
) that It was dotormlnod then thnt this mnn
J should be given tbut commission and Is to-day
t honored, as one of the greatest soldiers of tho
XI world. I say tints n business man, hut how did
r ill he acquire this baslnoss habit? How did ho
m aeqnlre his confidence nnd wonlth that ho
n possesses to-day ? Simply by pursuing n per-
II leetlv legitimate course. Ho basnoqulred not
1 1 a dollar by any Impropor or objectionable
1 means, but by simply following the pure bust-
Eess Idea that lind taken possession of tho man
e gradually nccumulntod a larno amount of
property, hut bis property Is always In motion,
coming In and coins out, and every old soldier
The Stato ol Michigan knows it The poor
people of our Ntnto know it, and wherever a
a an needs It. tho hand of Ocn. Alger ts open
ways to assist htm. This man of buslnoss,
any. has tho confidence of the business pro-
file of this country. lie has nosuporior. and,
his being a buMnoss mon's campaign, and
they being preferred to Ucht this battle, why
should not a burlnos man bo nominated?
Then, gentlemen, backed by tho ontlro dolega
tlon from tho Htnto of Michigan, backed by
gery Republican from Michigan in this house,
this city, backed by overy Republican wo
ft bohlnil us In tho State of Michigan, by this
authority I nominate for this Convention Rus
sell A. Aigor as a candldato for President of
the United States. , , ,
I proposo to say now and here, well welching
ana knowing tho force of eeryword I uttor,
and In calm deliberation, thli proposition, that
no Republican In the State of Michigan, that
no Democratic nowsjiapor In the Htnto of Mloh-
)gan, that no Democrat who cares, anything
for his reputation in the Stntoof Michigan, will
, say to you, either In nubile or private, that ho
verily belloves that Gen. Alger ts capable of n
1 dishonorable- not. I say to you with cqunl do-
i liberation that If any such charge could possl-
bly be made. If any man could bo so baso. that
the wliolo Stnto of Michigan, Democrat and
Republican nllko. would rise up In rebellion.
A gallant soldier, a faithful triond. a man
Whom ovorybody who knowB him honors, nnd
Eono know him but to lovo him, urging his iinmo
ere, not for political purposes, not tor tho
purpose of pushing him to power, but bRokod
by nn afToction doop down in our hearts, wo
ask you tho serious consideration of this ques
tion. I would to God Hint somebody else had
been assigned this position than me. I would
that some of tho great men thut Michigan has
produced, that tho Republican partr know and
always bad been glad to hear, were In this
presence to dlschargo this duty. If It was not
, L lor the lovo I bear this man. If it was not for
A tbo lovo that moves my tongue, I would not
r dare to stand horo In tho presoncnotthls august
body and try to urgo tho claims of any
one. But the nlTeotion that we all havo
for him, the duty that hns been assigned to me,
which I would not skulk from if I could, makes
In this Convention n weak man strong-aye.it
Would make a dumb man talk. If this duty
had been asslcnod to somo one stronger than
mo ' I remember n man that could discharge It
well, and bellevo what ho said for whon tho
country wns In trouble, nnd the Democrats
nought to tako awny from us our President.
" you would turn to him for information, and ho
out the gordlan knot. Would to God that old
Zaoh Chandler was here. Loud and long con
tinued applause!
It has been sntd by some, nnd believed, that
the power Is given to reach across that liver
that wo all must pass nnd commune with the
splrltB of the dead. I would that same power
would gtve to me the authority to summon
from that field the spirit of tho dead who has
gone before. I would call here into your pres
ence upon the platform tho spirit of America's
greatest General. I would stand htm here by
my side when wo all with tears In our eyes and
uncovered heads were gazing upon that
saintly form, I would nsk of him If I have
spoken to you anything but plain nnarnlshed
words of truth. I would ask of htm
If I have said aught but what his ex
perience has proved true. In the death of
Gen. John A. Logan Gov, Alger lost a
most cherished friend. I would ask him to tell
you of this man's kind beartjhis marvellous
comprehension, of his great deeds. I would
ask him to tell you if be over forgot a friend. If
he ever Btruck an enemy a cruel or needless
blow. I would ask him to tell you. if when the
friend had died and gone to that bourne
l whonce no traveller ever returns, if the friend
ship of Gen. Alger did not last and cling to
those that he had left behind him. I can utter
no better words to you, I can Inspire your
hearts with no better theme for thought than
to quote to you the words of the widow of John
A. Xosan. In speaking q Gen. Alger, whioh
enouIoTbe written in your hearts. ould that
some infinite power would enable mo to writo
it upon the sky so that all men might read It.
She said of him: "A man whohaa proved true
to his friend can be trusted by bis country."
A deb's nomination seconded.
Charles J. Moves of Boston, a big-bearded
follow, who looked like a lumber man, sec
onded Alger. He broke the silence of the 11s-
I tenors with a phrase about the flag handker-
i chiefs having taken the place of the Demo-
, cratlo snuff rag. He brought from Boston ono
other sentiment lnpecullar taste if not faulty
i logle. Bald he: "The accumulation of wealth
Is a grand thing."
j It began to bo cooler.
Patriot Eagan of Nebraska was another seo-
' pnderof Alger, and said nothing worth listen
ing to or reporting. L. G. Estees of North Car
olina was another seconder of the boodle king
of the forests. " Give us Alger," said he. " It
is a soldier's yell, and when November comes
and we hoist our colors, as we used to, and
oharge the enomy. we will recolve a second
surrender of the Democratic party as we did at
1 Appomatox Court House."
i , F. Eggers of Arizona remarked: "I only
want to say a word." and got great applause
and cries of "Good I" from the platform seats.
This o (.raced the Alger shouters packed In
the galleries, and they set up a tremendous
yelling and waving of flags, handkerchiefs,
umbrellas, canos, and bats. The explosion
ended by a man in the platform gallery
hurling himself down tho steep Inclino
i against the front rail nnd shouting in
1 a tremendous voice: "Hooray for Al-
gerl Three cheers, tiger, zip, boom.
r Ahl" While the laugh at this lasted a shouter
on the other side of the gallery said, " Let her
CO, Chairman." Eggers turned out to be tho
comedian of the Convention. " This Is not the
first tlmo I have been a delegnte," said ho.
This Is not the first time my voice has been
heard on the rostrum throughout the country.
I hope It won't be the last tlmo." Yells and
cry of " Tako your base.")
Hew Jersey was called, but there was no re
sponse. It seamed as though the nnmo of Wil
liam Walter Phelps wns not to bo imported by
the foreigners across the Hudson.
NEW T0B CALLED.
When New York was called, fienator HIscoclc
took the platform. He is by far tho hnndsom-
est man that any State has presented thus far.
M Ho was elegantly dressed in a new suit of
wm brown, and he wore n little bouquet In
his buttonhole. It was ninety seconds
before tho dying out of tho applause
that greeted his appearance permitted
him to speak. His first sentence renewed it.
It was: "The Republican party from Now
York Is here to-day a unit" He warned tho
people not to listen to the claims of Indiana,
Connecticut, and New Jersey, as States de
MM mandlng themostconsldorutlon. "1 toll you,"
i . said he, "the battle Is to bu fought over in the
MM mate of New York. Do not put It
m back of you. Tho Democrats will make
B that tbo battlo ground." When he
S. 'ached the name of Depow, he said: "Wo
ave a distinguished citizen who Is loved in
H every household. Talk of statesmanship! His
H broad utterances command respect wherever
H theyhavo been heard or read. His name Is a
H oharm. He Is the man, and the one man. of
l P.ur BF?at State who can command every single
H Republican v ote In It, and. moi o than that, can
M nttmmoB to our iunltauoo the labor ote
Ut of the Htnto. I am tnld that he Is
the President of n great railroad corporation.
MM He Is, but no wrecked railroads strew his pntli
U way up to the broad eminence ho bos reached.
H P our State tho farmers, mechanics, mor
Mm chants, freighters, nnd all who havo had busl
M ness transactions with him, will bo found
U forsaking their old paitytles and rallying to
WM his standard."
Urn ft" ,TIV. "fll'mlldly and heartily applauded
Stth outbursts that frequently Interrupted
Im, though at no time wnb the snplauso a
M oomplote or unanimous outburst. It was tho
B applause of about one-third the immense
H gatnorlnc, if it coold be put togother and
M raeasurod. Mr. Hlsoock. toward the end of the
speech, uttered something very like a throat
Wmi when he said:
V "If It goes forth that Now York Is abandon-
k IV ed.it will go forth that the oanvaos is aban-
IV I X doned, and sueh n chill will follow that this
IB i will bpnrnetleully the case."
MM ' X Mr, Hlsoock made a splondld appearance
MMr atul tm eloquent upeecn. aim utilized a voice
' that oould bn heard In tho mot remote and
, uttermost , corners ot the building. As be
! left the platform the Jew Vorkers bound
(Mfcw. , ed to their (oat and the chairs of
!. their seat-, and veiled and sawed the air
' n with tbo flag handkerohlefs that they bad tied
to their canes and umbrellas. For a moment
W or two they seemed to be alone In this demon
If i atratlon. but after an Interval four or live dele
Ill gates arose In different parts of the hall out of
Vj the delegations of Alabama, Kansas, Indiana,
I and Minnesota, and lent their feeble voices to
I the stentorian cheering of the Now Yorkers.
I Tbo galleries were moro generous and filled
the air with plaudits.
.l SKNATOn UIBCOCK'S SrRECD rOR DLPEW,
II Mu. I'bksident and Gentlemen of tiib
Contention: The united Republican party of
li the Btate ot New York Is represented here
V to-day, and by the unanimous voloe of that
partr, through Its seventy-two delegates, I am
Inatrueted to present for. your consideration
fta clwloa tot ftesldentlal nouilnoe, Qentla-1
rnon, let me tell yon what that united harmoni
ous party means to tho country. In my opinion,
with ovory Republican voting In Now York
next November, wn shall gnlna grand Repub
lican victory, and the thirty-six eleotornl votes
of the Empire Htnto will be cast for tho nom
inees of this Convention, ....
We hae no morn factional dtfTerenoes In
Now York than exist elsewhnro; but upon n
vote of nearly a million and a half, where tho
parties nro so nesrly oqnal In strength as there,
a llttlo apathy, a llttlo friction, n llttlo of the
hlttornoss of faction might cnuso a defeat.
Now alt friction Is allarod, all bitterness is ro
moved. and unanimously, onthuslastlcally we
are marching against the Domooratlo-Miig-
Trump combine to overwhelm It nnd doteat
'rosldont Cle eland and to restore the govern
ment of the country to tho party that pro
sorved. yes, creatod It. . . ....
Gentlemen have said but little hero about
doubtful Htatos., We should not leave thorn
out of our calculations. .With one oxceptlon,
tho Htntes presenting candidates are not doubt
ful. Let mo call your attention to this fact,
that If wo win this yoar.lt will be against the
solid South, us compact ns when Kansas was
to bo appropriated to slavery, or as when the
nntlon wbs to be destrored, for I tell you that
whatever finud aud outrngn aud violence
oven to murdorcan accomplish, niny bo count
ed U!on to loturn tho Presidential electors
from tho Southern States for the Democratic
party. Demouratlo londors openly proclaim
this purpose, nnd with theso conditions the
contest Is to be In and ovor Now York. I would
not dlseourago any one, but confronting tbo
overwhelming responsibilities of this occnslon
I must frankly state the Munition nnd tho
potential rousonB why Now York should name
the Presidential candidate. Wo must havo tho
vote of Now York lu this olcctlon, und equally
with us tho Democracy concedes that the re
sult must be determined there.
Gentlemen, tho contest will be bitter, tho
fiercest waged slnco the war. Republicans,
farmers,mechanlcs, have had enough of Demo
crats administration: tho business Interesta
havo had enough of constant threatening,
nnd. with this unnecessary disturbance, accom
plishing nothing: enough of fiitllo attempts to
reduce tho surplus, and enough of a constant
ly contracting curroncy. .
Now York, outside ot her one great city, Is
more strongly Republican than any Now ng
lnnd 8tate. From our valleys, from our moun
tains, from our farms, foiests and mlnos, and
from our shops the neoplo are rallying, and
will gathor lrroulstlbly to the support of our
candldato. Labor in Now York city, as else
where, has bocomo frightened at the baso bo
trayal of Its market to foreign capital by the
Democraoy, and Its sturdy blows will be de
livered for our sido In this vital contest.
Democracy. .Intrenched in power, with Its
trained bonds of ofllcials, holding with its
free-trade organization, with its unlimited
supply of money, with Its unbounded capacity
for fraud, will not yield without the most
blttor and desperate struggle known In our
lato politics.
It will help us to namo the candidate, and I
assure you wo shall need the force ot all "tbo
sontlment" we can oommand. We propose a
candidate whose namo will be an Inspiration
to our country. His namo Is dear to us all.
His counsel has led us and will guide us: his
eloquence has electrified and will continue to
tntipiieus. His broad and statesmanlike ut
terances havo long commanded tbo rebpect of
the people, not of New York alone, but wher
e or heard or read. As Chief Magistrate of the
republic his suporlor abilities, his match
less oxccntlvo oqulpment. his thorough knowl
edge of affairs, his broad comprohonslon of
publlo Interests and the nation's capacities, his
perfect Integrity, his justness and considera
tion of the rights or man. his fidelity to Repub
lican principles would assure nn Administra
tion proniotlvo of national development and
progross.
I do not begin hero nor shall I be compelled
to mnke elsewhere. If ho be nomlnatod, a de
fensive campaign. It Is true his business re
lations have been urged against him. If tho
most brilliant career and achievements as a
business man known in our country, whoro so
many markedly successful men may be noted,
is just caut.o of criticism, then he morlts it, for
I do udinlt his success has boen phenomonnl
nnd his achievements unsurpassed; and 1 now
add also that his life has been signally puro
and Btalnlobs.
Yes. bo is the President of a great railroad
corporation, and there is not a farmer, freight
er, mechanic, or common laborer In Now York
who will voto against him for that. As his life
has been above rooroach. so in the manage
ment of the vast business interests under Lis
control, he has gained the confidence and holds
tbo respect of all our peoplo.
I havo told that the laborers, the wage
workors were to bo on our hide in this contest.
They will not bo repellod by tho candidate wo
propose, but such has been his service end
fidelity to thom, as to all Intorests Intrusted to
htm, and so thorough nnd helpful frlond and
counsellor bos bo proed himself, that thoy
will rally to his standard and mako his eleo
tion sure. As thotr candidate, nnd as tbo
choloo of the Kopublioans of New York, I pro
Bent for nomination by this Convention as tho
Republican candidate for President of the
United States Chauncey M. Depew.
EEPEW SECONDED BT A OBNOES.
Gilbert O. Hartley of Duluth, representing
the Granger vote, which was said to have seri
ously blocked Mr. Depew's chances, and which
Mr. Depow mode such an etfort to cupturo.
seconded the presentation. He made a speoeh
that up to tbut timo was much the host or the
Bession. Ho was a tall, gonerouely-framed,
soldierly fellow, orect of stature, and with his
head thrown back commundlngly. Ho wns
faultlessly dressed, and endowed: with a splen
did voice and easy flow of language. ThlB Is
the key note of his speech:
" Don't bo afraid of tho grangers of the North
west. Minnesota will give Mr. Depow 30,000 to
60.000 majority. I come from the Inrgoit
grangor district In the Northwest I will tell
you that it will give Mr. Depew at least 15.000
majority."
That was tho best ot bis very short speech.
The Chair, In asking if there were any more
seconders of the nomination of Dopew, pro
nounced our honored orator's namo " Deepoo,"
and raised a little laugh, though he did not in
tend to do so.
CrjKEBINQ SEEnilAN TWELVE MINUTES.
Next Ohio was called. The lithe, handsome,
filert Foraker leaned from his chair at the sumo
nstant that the 7.000 persons In the hall had,
as If with one voice, filled the building with
yells of delight. It must have boon moro thnn
twelve minutes before that lnrorznul out
burst wns quieted. It was the loudest and
longest yell of the Republican Convention.
While it lasted' several delegations roso In
wbolo or In part to their feot. or upon
their chairs. Those wore Virginia, North Caro
lina, Rhodo Island. Texas, Now Mexico. Min
nesota, Michigan, and Kentucky. Foraker still
remained beside his chair in the contra aisle,
and it turned out that ho only wnnted to notify
tbo Convention tbut Gen. Dun 11. Hastings ot
Harrisburg would speak for Ohio. But tho
Convention had to wait until It cheered Itself
out before It got this information, and In tho
meanwhile Mrs. Foraker. sitting in tbo indies'
gallery with Mrs. Logan, opened u whito
sunshndo over the gallery edgo and
whirled It around so as to make tho
fourteen flags that had boen sowed
to Its ribs form u red streak as they spun. The
lady noxt to her, who was not recognized by
the peoplo on the lloor. had exactly anothor
such sunshade, trimmed in the same manner,
nnd this too was opened aud waved about.
Whon the yelling was lulled for a moment, Mo
Klnley and Buttorworth jumped from their
chairs and urgod It on ngain. In the list of
Stutes that rose to honor tbo Buck
eyo financier no mention has been made
of Ohio. It goes without saying that
she was first and foremost In the
turbulent demonstration. Hastings spoko for
Pennsylvania. He promised her electoral
votes to whoever might bo nominated, in
speaking of her sons he rof erred to Jumes G.
Blaine ns the favorite. A tremendous effort
was made to make the reception of this name
a noteworthy demonstration nnd perhaps to
capturo the t onvontlon by It. but it was a iall
urc. It lasted sixty seconds. Lou I'ayne of
New York woe tho only delegate in tbatsectlon
to exerclbe himself. He was up waving arms
and yelling. Mrs. Logun was almost
the only calm spectator In the gallery.
Sho sat with an immovable face, while
all around her was the most frantic excitement
and volling. Hastings won npplauso for this
ebullition of genius: " The country Is tired of
shiuiiB, double dealing, and mediocrity." The
outbursts of cheering wero vory frequent and
very hearty, and through them all New York
kept her seats so that her fctatosmon's heads
looked like tho paving stones in tho bottom of
a well, tho sides of which were formed by tho
delegates around them stundlug on their clinlra.
HASTINGS'S SPEECH FOR SHEBHAN,
Pennsylvania Is opposed to Grovor Cleve
land, and to a continuance of his Administra
tion. Her electoral vote will be cust for the
nominee ot this Convention, Pennsylvania
has never faltered in hor devotion to Repub
lican prlnolplos, and will not falter now. Her
metropolis was the cradle of American liberty,
nnd tbo Ropublicnn party's birth and baptism
were both on Pennsylvania soil. With her the
fundamental and elementary principles of Re
publicanism havo Hlways been hold sucred as
tho cburter of hor liberties and the memory of
her dead soldiers. Of this hor majorities aro
proof majorities unequalled in tbo sisterhood
of States cast for Lincoln, for Grant, for
Hares, for Garfield, and lor her well-beloved
son, Jnmos G. Blaine.
Pennsylvania comes to this Convention, and
with great unanimity asks you to namo a
standard bearer who will represont the princi
ples, the traditions, nnd tho brightest hopes
and aspirations of tho Ropublican party; a
man whose namo will stand for its Integrity,
Its Uoctilnes, nnd Its matchless history ; a man
who will oxseuto the law and vindicate the
honor of tbo nation whose very personality
will be " A word In the hands ot honest froo
men, wherewith to drive from place and power,"
a party whioh holds the rolns of national gov
ernment by fortuitous circumstances, and
against the true intent nnd honest desire of a
majority of tho nntlons sovereign.
This Convention recognizes that the cam
paign beforo us finds the common enemy in
treuchod.lu the soatsof national power with
the urostlge of victory, the support of tho solid
South, tho Influence of iniblla patronage, and
an inoreaoing appetite for office to give It en
couragement. But the country Is tired of the
shams, double dealing and mediocrity. We
rfaavoten ft Ohlel Executive whoprMlalmed
1 ; ;
fits belief that the .Presidential office should ba
Itnlted to n single term eagsrly clutching at
the nomination for the second. His promised
rofornis of tho civil service havo resulted In the
prostitution of his great ottloo for tho narrow
est ot partisan purposes. Professing sympnthy
for tho welfare of wage oarnors nnu establish
ing Industries, he hns forced upon his party a
policy whioh, If successful, would bo ruinous
nllko to both. Forbidding polltlenl activity In
his subordinates, ho, has allowed thom evory
whoro to nso tho publlo sorvlco for tho advance
mont ot his own personal aggrandizement. He
tins Inaugurated and fostored n diplomatic
poller hostile to the Intorosts nnd tho dlgulty
of the Amorlcan people.
He whom I shall nominate to you neodsno
introduction. His earner, his . oliaraotor, his
manhood, and his Illustrious achievements are
n part of tho nation's history. The people
know him by heart,
They whom I ropresont, nnd who ask his
nomination at your hands, point you to a
grand career boglnnlng .with those patriots
who rocked the cradle or Republicanism; ton
mnn who has bosn in tho tore front ot every
battlo for his party, who has been its counsnl,
Its chnmplon, Its strong right nrm: whose
name Is n towor of strength, and who was
never defeated tor any ofilco for whioh ho waa
nominated. .
Thoso who believe that ho. who has rondorod
tho most and tho host public service is entitled
toconBldoratton: who boltave that experience
In statesmanship Is a prerequisite to high pub
llo preferment: that it Is not n disqualification
to havo actively aud honorably participated In
a generation of thrilling and stupendous
evonth events more vital to humanity and
liberty than wero ever crowdod Into an oqunl
period of the world'a history who have seen
tho danger and folly of placing lnoxperienco
and mediocrity In high placos havo made
their cholco.
The freemon. watting for tho wolcomo day
when there will bo no longer a solid South : the
true soldiors ot both sides who bravely and
loyally accepted the results of the war; they
who aro waiting for the dawn of that new day
when the right of suffrage daro not be dented
to any man, whito or black, when honest elec
tions shull triumph over Intimidation nnd tho
Issuo ballots, and a purified franchise shall
" preserve tho iowel of liberty in tho household
of Its friend;" thoy who are still wnltlng until
tho truo gospol of protection to man and to tho
fruit of his toll shull be preached lu myriad
scboolhnuses south ot that political equator
called Mason and Dixon's line : waiting for the
Infusion of that spirit which brings from
mountain and valley the blossings of comfort,
refinement, nnd patriot Ism ; that Industry which
opens new and profitable chaunols of trade and
commerce: which builds railroads running
north nnd south as wall as enst and west;
which recognizes political meridians of longi
tude as well as parallols of latltudo; they who
believe with him thnt honest nnd Intelligent
Immigration should bo welcomed, but that lm
possubln barriers should be oroMed on the
Pacific const against tho hordes of honthen In
vasion all theso havo found in him their con
Bistont frlond and steadfast champion.
That grnnd army of mon who followed Grant
and Shorman and Sheridan, tho widows and
orphans of their comrades, and thousands who
bellovo a soldier's honorable dlschargo Is no
disqualification in civil lile, nnd thousands
moro who loved their country nnd thoso who
servo It. will wolcomo him as thoir cholco. They
whodoierve well of their country, who bellovo
tho English language so copious an hundred
pension vetoes might he written without In
bultlng patriotism nnd loyalty, will rally to his
standard. He wan tho soldiers' frlond lu war,
and ho has been their constant friend in pence.
He stood by tho sldo of Lincoln nnd the army
from the first dvs of Kumter until another
Sherman marched from Atlanta to the sea, and
peace came on golden wings.
Wnr and finance comprise much ot the his
tory of nations. A people who gave a million
sodiers to tho republic, found tho man to sus
tain them and their country's credit In tho
dnrkest hour. Our financial policy was as vic
torious as our arm I os. Its Inspiration respond
ing to evory need of war, proved equal to
ovory demand of patriotism, until at met,
hand In hand, pence nnd prosperity, twin chil
dren of liberty, gladdened tho hearts of a re
united people. The statesmanship of resump
tion bis cronnlng success, unoqualled in any
tlmo or country has jilaced his namo upon tho
lips of gratitudo throughout the land.
Do you want this record I Rend the history
and the statutes of thn country for tho last
thirty yours. A brokon Union restored nnd
made stronger: a raco of men emancipated : a
system of frco public bchools extonded to ovory
State ; a bondedVlobt, tho price of tho nntion's
life, roducod from twenty-two hundred millions
to less thnn eleven hundred millions: the nn
nunl burden of interest roduced from ono hun
dred and fifty millions: n public credit mado
firm ns tho everlasting hills; a system of pro
tection to Amerlcnn Industries Imbedded In
legislation, and consistently supported as a
wlfvo public policy. Those are a few of tho great
achievements of the Republican party, and
while overy other candldato before this Con
vention has contributed a full share of honor
able, patriotic, and meritorious service, no
man has become, of tho whole splondld record.
n more inseparable part than ho whom I shall
name.
My countrymen, the central Issue of this
oarup&lgn Is an Amorlcan jioliov for the whole
American peoplo at homo nnd abroad. Boforo
it all elso binks to Insignificance. What
though our system of curroncy be the best In
tho world ? It is an achievement of Republican
ism. What though secession nnd slavery are
gono forever? They vvoro washed away In

QREAT SHERMAN VKJUOXSTRATIOlf.

Its Illebeit Fltcb.
Foraker followed with a seconding spoech.
Need nnythlng more be said? Foraker Is the
pet nnd darling of this Convention. The ap
pearanco of his face, tho mention ot his name,
the sound of his voice electrify tho dele
gates nnd the spectators. In Chicago to
day tho word Forakor Is synonymous
with wild enthusiasm. As he strode
upon the platform some burly men wero soon
boarlng a great floral niece. It was several
faet high and half n foot thick. It was as gor
geous as Solomon In his glory. Workod with
rod flowers upou a whito background was this
Bontlmout:
"No nEHEL PLA03 BUBIlENDEItED WHIZ,- I
am Govr.nNon."
Those wore the wonlsof the famous despatch
tho nuignotio Republican sent at the time of
tho Cleveland battle Hug ojiisode. One can
imagine tho excitement of the crowd when it is
known, because tho men in tho gallery over
the platform could not rend the words on this
llorul piece. An upronr amounting ton smull
riot was dovoloped, " Turn it around; turn it
around," could bo distinguished above tho
tornado of yelling. Nothing would eutlBfytho
people until It was so tiirnod, although tho
Chairman pounded ills envoi unttl Bjilinters
fiow from it In tho busby locks of Fred
Douglass nnd tho well-barberod head ot Jones
of tho National Committee. Thus, ns la the
nature ot Ohio politics, a little Forakor boom
was launched In the middle of the Shorman
boom.
Foraker Is a reckless talkor as pugnacious
as n terrier and as quick at a flash, lie novor
makes a spoech without m'lkiug mistakes, but
It does not matter. There is not a crowd In the
United Mates that would not like him If It
could hear him talk. It Is not a high compli
ment to him, but ho gets to mother ourth nnd
down to the understanding of his audience.
Moreover, ho Is so Intense In his explosions of
oratory, bo violent In tho gestures witli which ho
accompanies It, nnd so excited, mentally und
physically, while he Is talking, that ho cap
tures his hearers In soma degree as he losos
control of himself. Here Is one of tho lapses
In taste that he mado in nominating Sherman.
Hold be: " And you needn't waste any tlmo on
biographical sketches. From what has beon
Bald here to-day you can appreciate the full
value of that advantage." This was
a jab , at Alger. " I haven't heard of
any slgbB being wafted here for Sherman."
said Foraker, " as anothor gentleman did for
bis candidate." This was a referenco to somo
thing said by Davis of Michigan. Another fool
ish stnli at Alger: "I want a Kopuhllcau this
time, I am getting particular. I want one
who has beon a Republican without Interrup
tion." This waa how he put the knife into
Depew: "I don't say that any one has not been
one. I only want one ot that kind." CYelUand

AN XNTHANCINO) PIGTU-- IK Till O-kLBIIT.
Itaohael Sherman.tho pretty daughter of old
Teoumseh. sat In a llttlo gallery at ono side ot
the platform. She mado, an entrancing ploturo,
Sho had on n striped suit ot u light drab color,
open in front to show a white basque, Sho Is n
puro blonde, with waving flaxon nnlr, nnd tbo
comploxlon of a .bisque doll. She sat with
Walkor Blaine, and Foraker's eloquent praise
of her family and of her uncle John
was liquid melody to the young girl's
oars. She. was so nervous, sho oould
not sit stilL Now she put hor long-handled
lorgnette up to her oyes; now she tossed her
Bllken hnndkerchlof of Stars and Stripes upon
the nlr: now she roso and sennnod tho excited
fnultltudo, nnd then again she flung herself
nto hor sont and ponred the rnpturo of hor
eellng Into tho car of Walkor Blalno. Her do
Ightwas a feast to tho oye. From a human
point of vlow, the eight of her was the pleas
antost thing In tho Convention, Tho mill
tltudo was ohooring a good deal for
Sherman, nnd a good deal for Forakor,
because Its senses were tickled by the oxtrava
franco of the young lluckoros buncomb.
Though ho did not know It himself, he was ap-
E reaching the crisis in tho Convention, a crisis
ito which he was going to plungo tho pooplo.
; had said that John Sherman would bo pop
ulor ovorywhoro excont in England, and thon
ho lind made a pretty bad nun by speaking of
Sherman as that "old banana.'' But this is
how he wound up his speoeh, and at tho same
time wound up the enthusiasm ot tho peoplo
and let It go.
" The dnv," said he, "that old bandanna was
nominated tho Republicans ot Ohio took out a
flag that was equally beloved by the loyal peo
plo of every Stato, and said that this banner
ahould bo an offset to the old bandanna."
A SCENE or WILD INTOUSIAS-.
It was then thnt there began the cheering,
whioh lasted twelve minutes, and carried
the Oonvontlon luto the wildest extrnva-
fauos of unbounded enthusiasm. Mrs.
ornkor, who has been boamlng from tho
gallery upon her handsome husband, onco
again spread her sunshade with Its decking ot
fines, and her lady friend spread its counter
part. Excepting those of New, York tbo dele
gates were nearly all upon their feot or upon
tho chair seats, and all who had umbrellas
spread them. Others waved red, white,
and bluo handkerohlefs in their hands;
others had tied their kerchiefs to their canes
and wero brandishing thom high In the
air. Bit bv bit ono mass of peoplo alter anothor
In the gallerlos roso to their feet, and they, too,
brandished, waved, and flung whatovor thoy
carried in their hands, and all the time the
hurrahing, the shrill yelling, the whistling nnd
catcalling, tho wild and unrestrained extrava
gances or nolso welled out of tho throats of the
sevon thoutand people deafening themselves.
As Foraker reached his place In tho Ohio
linos Stevo French of Now York grasped his
hand: Bon Buttorworth throw his arms around
tho young Governor's neck, llttod him off his
feot and patted htm between the shoulders.
MoKlnley shook hands with him. at the same
time swinging a flag over hishead, and Chnrloy
Foster patted tho pet of tbo people affection
ately. The ohooring swelled in volume as the sec
onds passed. It was exaotly twonty minutes
past 0 whon It began, at twenty-soven past It
waa seven times louder thnn at first. The
people on tho platform raised the heavy ban
ner of flowers as if to excite the multitude and
renewed and Increased the efforts nt noise
making. Everybody excopttng the reporters
and the Nstlonnl Committeemen in the box
on tho platform wero aiding tho amaz
ing outbreak In some way or an
other. Evon the cockloft, way up
tinder tho roof whoro tho peoplo look
Uko white moths pinned against the wall, waa
excited for the first time. Tho tntonse heat up
there seemod to havo robbed the spectators of
all energy, and they bad sllentlp and apatheti
cally witnessed all thoso demonstrations, but
now they vvoro on thoir feet flinging their arms
nronnd like maniacs trying to make their
shrieks and yells pierce the ascending flood ot
noise from beneath them. In tho gallery un
derneath the cookloft ono demonted man took
off his bat and vest, scattering silver coins,
pencils, keys, nnd whatever olso his pookets
contained down among the delegates.
At 8:2ft. whon tho cheoring had beon going on
eight minutes, Chairman Estea fell to rapping
tho multitude into order. Ho only maddened
them. They Bet about to rebuko him by mak
ing twice as much noise. It was as if men who
hsd sat down tired rose up and recommended
their fiendish shrieks. Women who had taken
no part tn tho uproar yolled their loudest. The
people on tho second gallery cnugbt tho drap
ery on tho front of the gallery in their hands
nnd flung it out into tho air. Then took place
tho strangest und perhnns the mot Impressive
nnd beautiful demonstration that ever distin
guished a Convention uproar.
A BONO BBS K3 THROUGH TUB TUMULT.
.Through the Babel nnd the tumult a faint
but growing semblanco ot the regular time
became perceptible. It was unsbaped and
vague as inough one heard the sound of a fife
nnd drum corps through heavy cannonad
ing. The tumult of discordant Bounds
wns many times louder thnn this sln-
ular cadenco that sounded through it.
Ut the measured strain grew more nnd
moro distinct until it becamo evident that
hundreds of throats wore joining In a
song. A minuto passed and the rytbm and
swing of the song became more pronounced,
yet it was still imoosslble to tell the nature of
tho song. In another thirty seconds at least a
thousand voicos had joined in this novel and
beautiful chorus, and now one could begin to
distinguish a glad old refrain and tho words
that nccompunled it "Hurrah! Hurrah I the
flag that sot us free." Finally, by slow degrees,
tho singing dominated the applause, and more
than half tho people in the enormous house
had chanced their plaudits Into a massive,
powerful, masculine chorus, and were singing
tho national ballad that celebrates Sherman's
triumph march through Georgia.
It was beautiful beyond description. Only
those who hnve heard 2,500 men singing, nnd
then can imagine their song bursting through
the noisy chaos of a cheering mob, equally
strong In numbers, can appreciate the mag
nificent ofteot it produced.
Away back In tho gallery stood Col. Fred
Grant and his wifo. There was no moro sign
of muscular movomonl In bis face than if ho
had been a stutuo, Boside him stood his tall
and beautiful wife. All the sensitive French
blond in her being was astir. Her face was
brilliant with the keenness of the enjoyment
eho experienced. Hundreds looked upon tho
couple. She trempled as she waved her silken
handkerchlof of stars nnd stripes. Now and
then sho pulled her busbadd down to whisper
In his ear. and at last not oven a Grant could
withstand the Infection of her delight. Tho
dull und apathetic man loosened nls features
Into a smile, then laughed, nnd then he also
wnivod bis handkerchief.
Jlachol Sherman was on her way out of tho
gallery when tho tumult begnn. It arrested
her. Sho nover had seen anything Uko It Her
nervousness increased, hor oyes sparkled and
sho soemed unable to do moro than smile ns
Bhe stood riveted upon tho steps. Not far away
was Mrs. Foraker, waiving her whito silk Bun
shade, regardless of cost. But botween the
two eat Mrs. John A. Logan as absolutely out
of sympathy with the furnro as if sho had been
nbsent from tho hull. Her black fan was tho
only portable object In the hall, as It seemed,
thnt had not been recruited Into tbo sorvlce of
thoso who colebrntod thlB popular nomination.
For the men had torn up the standards of their
Stntos and wore waving them along with thoir
fans, hnndkerchlefs. bats, umbrellas, flags, and
whatevor elso thoy carrind. Pennsylvania,
Wopt Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, nnd
Wisconsin led In this extravagance of devo
tion. A mnn on the platform got h'mselt lifted
on tho shoulders of two otber'mon in order
thnt bo might walvo his flag higher than any
body elso.
Thus It went on. Description flags In less
time than the thing described. The singing
dlod away, but the cheering continued. A man
on the platform under the gallery, standing
with his wntch In his hand, kept shouting:
"Make it fifteen minutes, boys I Don't let her
her slack I" But tbev only mado It twelve min
utes, nnd anothor minuto was consumed In tho
effort of the Chalrmau to restore ordor.
Sherman was the most fortunato In thn
speakers who presontod his namo. Though
Mr. Hit-cook cut the best figure as a dignified
and handsome man. Sherman's plendors wero
the best spoakers, and he had three ot them.
Tho next man to second Shorman'B nomina
tion was a nogrri. John M. Lnngston ot Peters
burg. Va.. graduate of Oberlln College, ex
Mlnistor to Liberia, and ex-professor in How
ard ynivorslty. Ho Is a little, shrunken fellow,
but no had tho voice of a lion and the magnet
ism of a Skelbeleff.
"There are 7.0C0.000 of negroes," said he,
to-day In this country, and thoy ask you to
nominate John Sherman. All the poorer
whites In the South, so long denied schools
and spelling books, nsk you to nominate him."
..Ho waB followed by Mr. John 0. Dancoy of
North Carolina, the blackest colored man tn
the Convention. He was as black ns n bottle
of Ink He looked like a negro pnlnted with
burnt cork. New Orleons molaseos was nevor
half so dark.
THE WONDEETUL nTLE- BOOM.
. Charles Emory Smith of Philadelphia bad
boon doputed to pull tho valve ropo and let the
gas out ot the Filler baloon. He made an oar
nest 'and enthusiastic speech, but the people
were tired, and they gagged him toward the
end. He called Edwin IL Fltler the A. T.
Stewart and Marshal Field of Pblladelpbla.
Ho added that the Democratlo party had found
a President In the Mayor's chair. The Repub
lican party may well meet a match and beat a
llttlo. Mayor with a truly big Mayor. After
hearing that Fitter was the biggest rope man
ufacturer in the country, the audience hanged
him with cries of "Timet" and yells ot Ira pa
tlonco. "Is there any seconding sroech for Fltler?'
Balit tho Chair. There was none.
Then Senator Spooner. next to the youngest
meji In the United Stntos Senate, did his best
for Jerry M. Rusk of Wisconsin. lie Is a bright

, Mn. PltEStDENT AMD GENTLEMEN OP Tag
Contention: Fully mindful ot the possible dis
advantage on this ocoaslon whloU lies In the
fact that Wisconsin Is last on tho roll call of
States, I turn for coitrago to thnt othor fact
that liar stalwart and splondld Republicanism
has plncod hor nnd keeps her atwnys well up
toward the head of the column whon tho fight
ing Is on. From the day whon tho second Na
tional Republican Convontlon proscntod for
the Btiffragos of the peoplo thonnmos of Abra
ham Lincoln nnd Hannibal Hnmlin, down to
tho fatoful voar 1884, whon, under suporb In
spiring londership, tho Ropublicnn .party mot
unoxpoctod nnd uudcservod ilofont, Wisconsin
has novor failed you. or justly given you one
moment of solicitude. To-day, for tho first tlmo
In nil those yours of unbroken fonlty, sho In
vokes for tho name and morlt of ono of her
own lovod nnd trustod loaders your thoughtful
consideration. Happily for tho party to whoso
fortunes wo aro all dovolod. I am not ablo.
with good warrant of truth, to urgo in ndvo
caeyof your adoption of hor.cholco thnt you
will thoreby turn a doubtful into a certain
State, for without hesitation I declare in this
groat presence thnt to the nomlneo of this
Convontlon, whatevor his namo shall bo and
from whntovor State ho shall como, will bn
given nt thn appointed tlmo tho doctoral voto
of Wisconsin, ns usual.
I ought nlso to sny that you sadly underesti
mate tho quality of our patriotism If there
shall gain lodgment for a moment here the be
lief that wo trifle with this Oonvontlon in this
crisis of the party's life and of thn country's
good by urging upon its notlco n nnmo simply
by way of compliment to n favorite son. Thoso
for whom I speak doom this an hour forwiso
counsols and deliberato judgmont tn tbo Inter
est of the pooplo, not for compllmont to nny
man. He who Is to lead this groat party In tho
campaign upon which wo now entor must be
ehoson notbecauso bis State asks It, not be
causo his frionds demand It, not because ho
wants It, but becauso the people want and
need him.
She ordor of the pending conflict Is to bo
to now to us.The benting ot the long roll is
hot to summon us. as hitherto, from our tonts
to repel attack, Tho huglo notes which call us
Into action will sound the advance. Thoso who
lend us aro to head a storming party against a
foe alert and prepared to recolve our onrot,
strongly Intrenched behind works which they
hnvo been long building.
Tho rank nnd file of the Ropublicnn party
look trustfully to this Convontlon tor wisdom,
and they will tolernto no mistakes. Tho de
mand for leaders, thoso who have walked tho
mountain ranges In full view of men. who havo
kept their feet out from tho swamps und the
bogs of llfo, whoso careers afford no ambush
ground for the enemy, whoso adherence to the
principles of tho party havo been "without
vnrlablonoss or Bhadow of turning," who aro
Strong In tho robust and nttrnotlvo qualities of
leadership; men who came from the ranks of
the poople, who havo borne the burdens of llfo
common to tho peoplo: men whom the peoplo
may cheerfully, and without mental or moral
protest, follow to the ond for what they havo
dono, and for what thoy are. aud for whnt
they may be reasonably expected to do. Wo
bring you such a man. "Tall men, sun
orowned, who live abovo tho fog. In public
duty and in private thinking." la it ugnlnBt
him that he does not como from a doubtful
State ? I deny that fidelity to Republican prin
ciples haB undergone such deterioration as to
diminish the availability ot one's candidacy In
firoportion ns the unyielding Republicanism of
ha State in which he finds his homo has plncod
hor above suspicion of defection. If in this,
however, I claim too much; If tbo volco ot Wis
consin must fall upon unwilling ears because
ot the steadfastness of her political lalth, so bo
It: bnt "by tho snmo token" your candidate
should not come from Matno or Pennsylvania
or Ohio or Illinois or Michigan or Iowa.
Holding therefore to the highest standard of
party duty, and domnndlng tho subordination
of all personal ambition to party welfare, bow
ing in advance to tho decreo of this Convontlon,
the Republicans of Wisconsin, with onthuslas
tlo unanimity, havo Instructed their delegation
to nnme to you ns thoir cholco for tho first
place one who by a long life of conspicuous
publlo service in divers fields ot ollort has
proven his right to stand tho pcor of any mnn
In stainless oharacter, in patriotic devotion to
the best interests of the country, in political
Bagacltyln unerring judgment of men tn horolo
courage many times shown amid tho rush
and whirl of bnttlo nnd in extraordinary ex
ecutive capacity. His namo Is not unfamiliar
to the country it Is Jeremiah M. Husk, tbo
honored Govornorof Wisconsin.
Gov. Rusk possesses what soetns In these dnys
to be by many considered a fundamental elo
mont of eligibility to such a candidacy he was
born tn tho Stato of Ohio. He spent his youth
nnd young manhood in tho rough but disciplin
ary work ot the farm. Ovor three decades ago
he sought a homo In one of the newer coun
tries of Wisconsin. Rich in nothing but brain
and brawn and principle, nnd honorable men
tion, accustomed to hardship and not ashamed
to labor, ho cheorfully mountod the driver's
seat of a frontier stage coach, ns Lincoln In
early life went out from tbo rude enbin of hts
fnthor with tho axe upon his shoulder to split
rails tho long day through, and as Garfield
sought and followed the towpath of the canal,
thenco through u life of high endeavor to enter
the portals of the Whito House.
It Is testified by those who know our young
Ohionn in thoso days that he never wandered
from tho road or upsot the conoh. Never an
offlcoseoker, ho drew to himself from tho out
sot the confidence of his neighbors, and was
chosen by thom to various county positions.
Like ono now conspicuous In public life. In no
good quality or attainment his peer, bo held
nnd discharged the duties of tho ofilco of
Sheriff of his county: but lest prejudice arlso
from this similarity of careor, perhaps I ought
to say that capital punishment bad thon beon
abolished in Wisconsin.
Whon tho cloud which hnd boen so lone gath
ering tn our political sky burst upon tho coun
try with tho fury or a tempest: when Hint flag
was no longer sacred from the assaults of
treason: whon the Union, the source of all our
strength und prosperity and hope, was to strug

OmoAoo, Juno 21. With a refreshing"
shower this aftomoon and an exhilarating
breeze from tho lake which fluttorcd into tho
night, tho booms ond boomors havo shown
moro animation. Borne havo partly recovered.
In outward appoaranoes, tho first indications
of decisive earnestness. Tho noxious tumos
in the Grand Pacific nnd the Palmor IIouso
wero waited Into atmosphorio otornlty by tho
fresh breezes, and oven thoso who have tbo
very best of reasons for appearing disconso
late brightened up and tried to bo roconcilod
to thoir fears. All through this torrlblo
host tho Loland, by the lake sldo,
has beon a comparative oasts. Whon thoro
was any air Btirring It got tho first and fullost
benofit, and this, perhaps, can account In a
measure for tho novor-ondlug, ooppor-llnod,
and bolted enthusiasm of thePaolIlo slopors for
James Gillespie Blalno. They rofuso to regard
tho wlshos of Mr. Blaine's particular and per
sonal friends, nnd to-day thoy wero tho sumo
Gatllng gun boomors when thoy entered
the Convention town. Thoir conduot Is
secretly quito annoying to Eomo of Mr.
Blaine's confidential frionds, somo ot
whom aro stopping at tho Leland.
and hear them scream out for tho
Plumed Knight at all hours ot the day and
night But Mr. Blalno's friends aro done with
protesting. Thoy nffoct an indifferent smile at
the rattling fusillade In honor of their friend
and pass alODg. Tho Callfornlans, however,
havo permitted ono of Mr. Depow's friends to
tack up a lithograph of tho Now York charmer
right alongside of thoir own particular prince
"It pleases thom and don't harm us," Is the
sontlment concerning tho picture of Mr. Depe w.
ator In tho day a lino Btoel engraving
of Honry CIny was hung on tho othor
side of Mr. Blaine, WhcthorESthe group
with Mr. Blaino In tho centre Is a premonition
ot tho disappointment nnd tho fato that came
to tho great Clay and tho Maino man. and will
descend to Chauncey Dopow, a few hours or
wooks will toll. Tho Callfornlans vory latest
banner Is to the effect that thoy will parado
every day and night for Blaine, nnd whon the
nomination is mado thoy will parade for tho
nomlneo of the Convention, Tho placard Is
thoroughly characteristic of the Pacific slopors.
A jolly, rollicking lot, somo of them aro, hos
pitable and friendly, and nro thoroughly happy
to greet any aud all comers who want to tackle
tho ammunition iu thoir wcll-llliod magazine
of howling bo vo rages.
With the other booms and boomers things
aro different. The shreds of somo of them are
trailing In the muck on the marble corridors of
tho Grand Pacific and tho Palmer, but with tho
cool breeze the interested ones set to work to
gathor them up and to patch up their fences.
Every boom, with the possible exception of
the Harrison affair, had been trampled upon
or had given evidences of dissolution during
the torrid hours of the week. With n
ballot at hand and nnlmated breezes to
buoy them on, thoy hnvo gathered up evory
enthusiastic thought left, and pitchod in. How
groat was the wreckage nnd desolation only
tho chief boomers know nud appreciate. Al
ways keeping in mind tho solid machine ef
forts for Harrison nnd the solid phalnnx of
Pacific elopers for Blaine, it can bo said that
all other delegates woio found iu strange
camps. Tho Alger, Allison, Grcsham, Sher
man, and Rusk mon were found to bo supplied
with badgos ot their lhals. There was a
shocking dlspluy of inconsistency and low
down political ethics. Tho badges alone wero
no ovldenco of their later predilections, but
their tnlk hadn't tho sound and hoarty ring as
when thoy left homo. They were full of exas
perating qulbbleB und the doubts that como to
mon whon thoy secretly decide to adopt u
oourso not in accord with their first determina
tions. All the afternoon and ovonlng have been de
voted to bringing these men back into their
respective folds. Tho political crooks of some
of tho loaders havo fallen upon tho necks of
somo of the sinners, but nt best It is a dlsor-
ftanized. wandering, and bllnktngly unfaithful
lordo. As an Instance of the cruel horosy thnt
is rampant, it should bo mentioned that tho
pictures of Algor that cover the walls near his
headquarters quite as effectually as tho wall
papor Itself havo boon miitllntod and
daubod with Insinuating scribbllngs. Tho
most offensive ot all the legends Is
ono which asks: " Whon did this thing
occur in history anyway," and those scrib
bllngs aro pormittod to show right in the faces
of tho very men who have ehargo of tho hugo
spigot thnt runs Into the Mlchlgander's barrel.
If such a thing bad occurred a week ngo this
tlmo there would hnvo boon a homicide. Now
it Is accuptod with a lnssltudo thut is the heri
tage of quicksand efforts. Tho boom and tho
barrel are sinking out of sight.
Tho Allison mon nnd the Greshamltes. the
Bhormnnitcs, und Undo Jerry Rusk's mon
wore wnlting for tho tlmo whnn tnoir hopes or
fears will havo boen realized. It will come soon
enough for them. Col. Elliott F. Shopnrd con

Mikes and Jims and Potos nnd Jnhnnlos ot
the Now York delegation. Broad Catholicity
und effusive cordiality havo becomo tho ordor
of tho day.

tho brassy proclamation of the Allison mon,
which was flung about tho town to-night, suy
log that "tho.North, South. East, and Woet

the sober Hnd delegate-corralling uiinounco
merit of Ben Harrison's mnnagem. declaring;
"The Republicans of Indiana v. Ill do their
whole duty for tho nominee, but assort that, as

Tho goneral nlr o! the plnco has boon one of i
confidenco combined with modesty, unusual !m
on such occasions. This is how D. M. Rons- ' .If
doll, the ono-nrmod Vice-President of the Stat .9

"We would not to-day exohnnge our sltna- ,

think, is going to pieces, In spito of the re- B
newod allegiance the Now Yorkers swear to 'f,
him this ovenine. Wo bops for a good many j
New York votos whon tho timo comes. Tha if

they are getting along all right, but thoy really 'g
don't seem to know much about it, and even S
tho entbuslastio ones do not claim that any

Tho Allison boom, unless It picks up wonder ?p
