Chicago, June 23. The last and
greatest day of the Republican na
tional convention was the apothesls of
the big show, the climax to which tho
events of the past two days have been
the Introduction. Today Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated to succeed
himself as President, and Charles W.
Fairbanks, senator from Indiana, was
named as vice-president. With tho
candllates of the party selected' tho
convention adjourned, tho delegations
dispersing1 to spread into every re
mote section of the country a conta
gion of enthusiastic fever which has
been enthused into them at this great
gathering by the leaders of the grand
old party of protection.
This was a day of oratorical pyro
technics. Somo of the finest speakers
In the Republican organization were
heard in common chorus in praise of
the men who aro to lead the hosts to
battle. Elated by tho ovents and the
speeches of the last two days, and
eagerly anticipating -the intellectual
treat in store today, tho delegates be
gan to assemble in tho convention hall
early this morning. Becauso of im
portant workin hand the convention
was called to assemble at 10 o'clock.
Half hour before the floor presented
an animated scene. Many delegates
brought flags with them to assist in
the demonstration which they were
prepared to make when Roosevelt was
placed in nomination. An increased
interest in the convention was also
shown In the galleries, which began to
fill ns soon as tho doors opened at 9
o'clock. By tho time Chairman Can
non called tho assembly to order near
ly every seat was occupied, and short
ly after standing room was at a pre
mium. There was a larger proportion
of ladies present than at either of the
previous sessions, and their summer
costumes lent a touch of color to the
otherwise sombro rows of black coats.
The first outburst of applause was
ovoked by Margaret Elizabeth Plum
mer, national organizer of the Ameri
can Flag Asosciation, who was
dressed in a stunning gown of cream
colored silk, who surprised Chairman
Cannori' by presenting him with a
great bunch of calla lilies, after mak
ing a graceful little speech. Secretary
Cortelyjpu was on the platform. As
soon riS he mado his appearance many
prominent leaders pressed forward to
shake hands and assure him of their
loyalty and assistance in the great
work he is about to undertake as
chairman of the national committee.
Every membor of tho New York
delegation, under instructions from
Senators Plat tand Depow, was sup
plied with fine silk flags, and their
eritranco was greeted with loud ap
plause Everybody arose while the
band played "America."
Tho convention hall filled rapidly at
an early hour, and every seat was
filled when Chairman called it to or
der at 10 o'clock.
Rev. Thaddius E. Snlvely opened
the convention with prayer.
Alabama yielded to New York on
the call of states. Chairman Cannon
then introduced ex-Governor Black
amid great applause.
At 10:41 a. m. tho clerk called tho
roll of states for the presentation of
the names of candidates.
When ex-Governor Black finished
speaking there was great applause,
and the delegates were on their feet.
Chairman Cannon stood on tho plat
form with a tattered battloflag. The
bands were playing, delegates were
on their feet, and a massive picture of
Theodore Roosevelt shown on tho
platform brought forth renewed ap
plause. The delegates of New York made a
circuit of the hall, while the band
played tho Star Spangled Banner.
Chairman Cannon lead in singing
the Star Spangled Banner, and the.
band played "A Hot Time in tho Old
Town Tonight."
Senator Boveridge, of Indiana, sec
onded Roosevelt's nomination with a
stirring speech, and the enthusiasm
is on tho Increase.
Chairman Cannon was compellod to
use tho gavel a number of times to
bring the convention to order.
The entire audience is slpging "Tho
Star Spangled Banner," and' there are
no signs of order. Delegations with
red, white and blue umbrellas are
making a circuit of the hall.
Tho convention was still shouting
for Roosevelt when Chairman Cannon
again appeared on the platform with
tho tattered flag, which brought forth
renewed cheers, and tho convention
was in an uproar, and pandemonium
reigned for somo time.
Geo. A. Knight, of California, sec
onded Roosevelt's nomination on be
half of the coast states.
Harry Stilwell Edwards, of Georgia,
seconded the nomination with a bril
liant speech.
Ex-Governor Bradley, of Kentucky,
made a seconding speech.
Hary S. Cummlngs, tho colored ora
tor of Maryland, and Jos. B. Cotton,
of Minnesota, followed with short
speeches seconding the nomination.
When New Jersey was reached
they asked for unanimous consent for
tho convention to dispense with furth
er roll call and nominate Roosevelt by
acclamation, but the Idea did not moot
with favor.
When tho roll call was ended no
namo had been mentioned but that of
Roosovelt, and ho received tho total
994 votes of tho convention.
In his characteristic stylo Senator
Dolllver, of Iowa, placed Fairbanks in
nomination'. He paid a glowing
tribute to tho policies of tho Republi
can party, and to the leaders respon
sible for tho exposition of these poli
cies. Gradually hut adroitly he led
up to his eulogy of tho Indiana
statesman. Dolliver's peroration was
In the following werdB:
"While ho has not sought to con
strain tho Judgment of tho conven
tion, directly or indirectly, he lias
kept himself free from affectation
which undervalues tho dignity of the
second ofilco within the gift of tho
American people, and I do not doubt
that his heart has been touched' by
tho volunteer expression of universal
good will, which already has choson
him a one of tho standard bearers
for tho Republican party of tho United
States. Tho ofilco has sought tho
man, and ho will bring to the office
the conmnding personality jot a states
man equal to any of Jth'e groat1 respon
sibilities which belong to our public
affairs.
"A leader of the senate and a cham
plon of all great policies which constl
tute tho invincible record of the Re
publican party during tho last 10
years, his namo will become a towor
of strength to our cause, not only in
his own state, but ovorywhoro
throughout tho country. A man of af
fairs, the wholo business community
shares tho confidence which his polit
ical associates have reposed in him
from the beginning of his public life.
Quiet, undemonstrative, and popular
opinion, which has given tho Republi
can party a platform upon which all
Republicans stand, with no dissent
ing voice hero or anywhere, has long
since anticipated1 tho action of this
convention in adding to tho national
Republican ticket tho namo of Bona
tor Chns. w! Fairbanks, of Indiana,
and I take pleasure in presenting this
namo honored everywhere throughout
tho United States as our candidato
for vice-president."
Fairbanks was nominated by unan
imous voto aftor tho announcement
of tho withdrawal of the other candi
dates. A resolution was passed1 naming
Jos. G. Cannon as chairman of tho
committee to nptify Theodore Rooso
velt of his nomination on July 27th,.
and Elihu Root chairman of tho com
mittee to notify Senator Fairbanks of"
his nomination for vice-president on
August 3d.
Convention adjourned sine die at
