Philadelphia, Juno 20. Chairman
Ilannii, with n rabbit's foot suspended
from a miniature of McKinley in the
lapel of his coat, surveyed an impos
ing spectacle when lie called the
twelfth republican national conven
tion to order in the Kxport Imposi
tion building in West Philadelphia at
1U:35 yesterday. In the valley below
him were crowd'1"! the 18,000 dele
gates and alternates and stretching
away to the four corners of the im
mense hall were endless vlstan of peo
ple rising In terraced seats to the
walls. Jlc looked into the faces of
fully 15,000 men and women. Oppo
site in a broad gallery were massed
100 musicians, their leader a mere
pigmy in the distance. The platform
on which he stood jutted out like a
huge rock Into an ocean of humanity.
Uelow him and Hanking the stage wuh

,"cs
SENATOR MA11IC A. HANKA.
(Chairman of the National Republican
Committee.)
nn embankment thronged with the
representatives of the press of the
country. Above was a riot of Hags,
bunting, eagles, shields, the whole
scheme of the elaborate decorations
culminating in a h litre portrait of
McKinley nestling in the graceful
folds of the American flag. About him
were the working leaders of his party
and behind, among the dignitaries
nnd honored guests of the convention,
were white-haired men who had been
present at the party's birth in tin?
city almost half a century ago.
A scattering applause met Mr. TInn
na as he made his way to the stage.
Gen. GroKtctior, -Senator Lodge, Sen
ntor Fornkcr, cx-Scnator Quay and a
few others aroused a fluttering of
handkerchiefs and a round of hand
clapping, but men of national repu
tation, whoso fame has spread away
from our shores across .both oceans,
entered without producing a ripple.
Perhaps most of them were not re
cognized. It seemed tame. There
was only that indescribable buzz of
mj'risids of voices which belongs to n
national convention, as the humming
of bees belongs to a field of clover in
summer, nnd it looked as though
nothing could galvanize the thou
sand "j into life. Hut just before
Chairman Hanna waft ready to drop
his gavel, Gov. Uoosevelt entered and
the vast audience was electrified. He
stalked in at the main door. His
rough rider hat signalled him out to
the craning multitude. Seemingly the
audienco had been waiting for him
nnd the applause that announced his
appearance swept over tho vast am
phitheater and swelled into a great
roar as he made his way towards the
Beats of tho New York delegation.
Many notable groups could be seen
among tho delegates. Immediately
In front sat Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana, with Gov. Mount of that
state just behind him. Gov. Shaw, of
Iowa, ran over to greet his executive
colleague and say that Holliver's flag
was still flying. Gov. Tnylor, of Ken
tucky, came in with Gov. Hradlcy, of
that state, tho former smiling and un
ruffled after all his turmoil, .lust
across was Senator Foraker, with his
hair tossed, looking as though he had
been having hard conferences, while
Gen. Grosvenor, looking like a patri
arch, paced the aisle and grasped
hands. When the band played the
Star Spangled Hanner, the entire con
vention rose to its feet.
Ten thousand people stood while the
Btirrlng air was played and applauded
it with a cheer as they took their
seats. Chairman Hauna remained
standing. He lifted the ungainly
gavel and brought It down with a
resounding whack. Tnstantly all eyes
were riveted upon him and a wave of
applause swept the hall. Chairman
Hanua faced the storm of applause
with a resolute face. His stern fea
tures did not relax, but he nodded nn
acknowledgement as the applause
broke here and there Into a cheer.
When it had subsided he brought
down the gavel again, culling tho
convention to order.
Itev. J. Gray Holton, of Philadel
phia, was called to to make a prayer,
the call of the convention was rend
"and Senator Unnna made a speech
nnd then presented Senator Woleott.
of Colorado, an the temporary chair
man. Chairman Ilnnna's reception when
he called the convention to order
and later when he made a speech was
flattering In tho extreme and tho
smile on bin face expressed the pleas
ure It gave him. Hut the joy he ex
perienced over his own reception
seemed nothing compared with the
delight he manifested when for the
first time he mentioned tho presi
dent's name. The convention went
oft like a rocket. The applause was
deafening. Mr. Haniia's face was a
picture. It was wreathed in smiles.
He showed tho ccsfacy of the joy
he felt over the stor;n of approval he
had raised. Many, in that moment,
remembered how tho president's War
wick had announced a year ago that
his ambition would be satisfied and
his cup of joy would be full when he
called together the convention that
would renominate McKinley. Perhaps
it was significant that in his speech
Mr. Hanua made no mention of Cuba
or anything which would furnish a
peg on which a Hooscvelt demonstra
tion could be hung.
The address of Senator Wolcolt, tho
temporary chairman, which followed,
lasted an hour and ten minutes. It
undoubtedly added to the brilliant
Colorado orator's reputation. The
keynote he sounded an account of
the stewardship of the party was as
much for the millions of readers
scattered over the country as it was
for the few thousands who heard it
and it was a difficult role for a fiery
and magnetic speaker to essay. Sena
tor Woleott would be at his best
speaking in the opportunity of the
moment. Yet the effort he made yes
terday thrilled the audience. With a
clear, ringing voice that reached the
remotest spot of the hall and with
graceful gestures he brought all un
der his spell. Time and again his
hearers broke into cheers as lie spoke
of the present prosperity of the coun
try nnd predicted McKinley's tri
umphant re-election. And when he
declared that the democratic party
had been driven by the events of the
last four years from every position it
occupied in 1890 to seek issues in tho
events of the war with Spain there
was another frantic outburst. The
same enthusiasm swelled out when he
predicted that this generation which
liad witnessed our recent acquisitions
would see the American nation gird
ing half the globe with its flag, ex
tending its commerce to the utter
most ends of the earth nnd taking
its place as a world power among the
great world nations "a power for
good, for peace and for righteous
ness." Tint the climax was reached
when he lifted up his voice and de
clared that our dead were buried in
Luzon and that on its soil no foreign
flag should ever salute the dawn. In
his splendid peroration he declared
that the republican party, identified
for -10 years with everything ennob
ling nnd uplifting in our history was
never so "vital, virile and vigorous,"
ns to-da' and that with untarnished
record it will transmit to posterity
an undying love of liberty and of
country.
A noteworthy incident of the ses
sion was the remarkable demonstra
tion to Gov. Taylor, of KOntucky.
That his party associates look upon
him ns a martyr to partisan hatred
their great ovation yesterday made
evident".
The committee on resolutions or
ganized immediately after the ad
journment of the convention. On mo
tion of Senator Foraker, Senator
Fairbanks, of Indiana, was chosen
chairman of the committee, and 12.

THE REPORT OF A MAN OF
EXPERIENCE.
Wliit lie I-'nund In AVcilcrn CunUa
(ii Iuilucc llhu to Sultl.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Feb. 20, 1900.
To whom it may concern, especially
to those who arc desirous of obtaining
health and wealth for themselves and
families, I wish to state a few facts In
regard to the Canadian Northwest,
where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Mario
on May 2nd, 1890, for the purpose of
seeking n better home for my family
in the future. I got n special rate tick
et for Ft. MeLeod, Alberta. Through
Manitoba and part of Assiniboin the
farmers were busy employed plough
ing and seeding. I found the
fanners very kind and friendly,
willing to talk and assist in giv
ing me the particulars of the country.
At MeLeod. I spent a few days look
ing over some ranchers' stock, which
I was surprised to see looking so well;
they were in better condition than any
stock I ever saw in Michigan, even
those that had been stabled, and most
of these had never seen the inside of a
shed or received any feed from the
hands of man. Hut as I was looking for
mixed farm land I found MeLeod no
place for me, it is only fit for ranching
purposes.
.Retracing my way back to Winnipeg,
I stopped off at Lcthbridgc where I
found some of the greatest horsc
ranches I ever had the pleasure o look
ing at; it Is a fine level country and
lots of water and good grazing. At
Medicine Hat, which is located in aval
ley, there were lots of sheep, cattle and
horses in the surrounding country and
till looking well.
On July 14th I went on to Hegina;
there I began to bee mixed farming
lands in abundance and the crops look
ing remarkably well, and as long as
daylight lasted I saw the same all along
the line, and on the 15th of July 1 ar
rived in Winnipeg, just in time for the
Exhibition; there I met with one of
the most beautiful pictures of the
world's records, for as soon as I en
tered the grounds my eyes met with
nil kinds of machinery, all in motion,
nnd the cattle, grain and produce of
the country was far beyond my ex
pectation, in fact it was beyond any
industrial exhibition or agricultural
fair 1 ever visited, and I have seen a
good many.
From Itcgina to Prince Albert, a dis
tance of 250 miles, it is all good for
mixed farming, and well settled, with
some thriving little towns. In fcome
places the grain, just coming into head,
woulditake a man to the waist, andithe
wild fruit along the line was good. rich
and in great quantities; from Saska
toon on the south branch of the
Saskatchewan river to Prince Albert
on the north branch of the same river,
is one of the best farming districts
without any doubt that ever laid face
to the sun, and everything to be found
there that is necessarj- to make life
comfortable; nil that is required is la
bor. There is lots of wood, good wa
ter and abundant hay land, and the
climate is excellent.
Prince Albert is n flourishing little
place, situated on the north Saskat
chewan river, having a population of
about 1.S00, with good streets and side
walks and churches of ncurlj- every
denomination, three schoolhouses and
another one to be built at once; also a
Brewery and Creamery. Here I stayed
for about four months, working at my
trade of brick-laying, and met with
farmers and ranchers with whom I
made it my .special business to talk in
regard to the prospects. J also vibited
several farmers for some distance out
in the country while crops were in full
bloom and I inay say that I never saw
better crops in nil my travels than I
saw along the valley towards Stoney
Creek and Carrot Itiver. In the market
garden there is grown currants, both
red and black, and as fine a sample of
roots and vegetables as ever went on a
market. The soil in audi around this
district cannot be beaten for anything
you may wish to grow, and besides
the season is long, giving time for
everything to mature. The cattle were
looking as good as I saw anyivvliere,
good pasture and hay land, and plenty
of water wherever you go. The coun
try is dotted nil around like islands
with timber fit for fuel and building
purposes and within a day's walk of
lumbering-woods, w here lumbering and
tie-making is carried on, in winter.
Both large and. small game is plentiful.
There are two good s-avvmills in this
district, with a good supply of all
grades of lumber nil the year round
and also two good brickyards with an
excellent quality of brick. There is no
fceareity of building material and at a
reasonable price. Clothing and living
arc no higher than I find in Michigan,
and furthermore I wish to say that
there is a great demand for laboring
men nil the year round and good'wnges
ranging from $1.75 to $2.00 per day, and
from $25.00 to $35.00 per month with
board.
I wish to say that 1 am perfectly sat
isfied with the country and 1 intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring of 1900. Any reasonable man
can go there and in from live to ten
years mak a good and comfortable
home for himself and family, and if
any person into whose hand t,his letter
thould fall, desires more information,
please write to mc nnd I will frccljr
give them my best opinion. I am writ
ing this for the benefit of those who
may want to make a better home for
thcm&elves nnd families or friends.
Trusting that this statement may bo
useful to you in the publication of your
next pamphlet nnd bo the means of
guiding nt least some of those who aro
iu search of a home, I remain,
Your humble servant,
