(By Representative Charles E. Littlefleld ?f "V- Copyright by the New York HeraJd Company, 1901). CHICAGO, June 22. (Special Telegram.) There can bo few more Inspiring sights than a great national party In convention assembled. No similar gathering can occur in any other country. It may well be doubted if any other country could furnish its equal for intelligence and character. Tho delegates are an epitome of the people that they represent, and they Infallibly indicate by their personal appearance the well-to-do and prosperous character of their constituencies. Meeting for a com mon purpose, there is contagion In their contact and every sentiment that appeals to their Judgement or quickens the Imagi nation will always induce an instantaneous and hearty response. It is a law-abiding people, and the orderly character of the crowd tn attendance upon the convention Is a natural sequenoo thereof. We bolleve that we have a citizenship that may well challenge the admiration of Christendom and the unvarying good nature and chival rlo courtesy of the men who are crowding and pressing through the throng is one of Its unfailing Indications. Mingling with such a gathering increases the Just pride one has In bis countrymen. ' Beautiful women, beautifully adorned, are here In great numbers, giving a life and Inspiration to the convention acene other wise unattainable. It Is In truth and faet the land of brave men and fair women. The convention hall, with a seating ca pacity of 8,300,1s beautifully decorated with long feotoona of red, white and blue bunt ing carried around the four sides of the building. Between each circling' arch sup porting tho roof is a group of five Ameri can flags, and upon each group a lithograph of President Roosevelt. Above and back of tho speaker's desk Is a magnificent lifelike painting of the great chairman, Mark Hanna, large In else' and. In a familiar pose. It Is' grace fully and beautifully draped with the na tional colore. Watch It and you will see the eyes of the faithful continually turn ing toward It, full of love and admiration. It la by far the moot striking feature of the decorations. . , 1 Vases of full blown peonies illuminate the platform. The presiding officer rests his gavel upon a table made by the South Side High school of Minneapolis, j The convention Is called to order and the call is read which was Issued by Chairman Hanna a few days before his untimely death, and so great Is the regard of the party for the dead leader that the reading of his signature even ' Is a signal for a great outburst of applause. Ellhu Root la cordially received. Before he has a chance to say anything an easel Is rapidly, set upon tho right hand corner of the platform and a picture cohered with a retl la placed upon lt, The veil la with out delay removed and It turns out to be a large slsed portrait of President Roose velt. This Is received with applause and la . quickly removed. - Just why this waa projected mto the proceedings at this stage and then Immediately withdrawn no one seems to have found out. : Root's Groat Eort. Mr. Root's speech on Tuesday occupied fully an hour In delivery and wsa very handsomely received. It la no figure of speech to say that this was a great ora tion. When you read it, you will be Im pressed by the fact that it Involved an Im mense amount of work and that tho work haa been well done. There Is little of rhetoric or declamation there Is not room for It. It Is a powerful, exhaustive and effective presentation of the progress and development of the republic under repub lican administrations. It would be difficult to summarise It, as It Is In itself a sum mary. It la not necessary to quibble to un reservedly, accept every proposition con tained therein in order to say that it will make' a first class campaign document. In concluding his elaborate and eloquent tribute to McKlnley be made an Incidental reference to Hana. Here was no orator ical ending With the name of Hanna. Here waa the leading up to Hanna'a name, no effort to provoke applause or to especially draw attention to him. But the mere mention of Hanna's name in this incidental manner precipitated, everything considered, the sensation of the day, and disclosed as nothing else could the tre mendous hold he had on the affections of the republican party, and Its profound and sincere reverence for him. Makes glaratfleaBt Remark. The moot important declaration tn this able address was that forecasting auto nomy for the Phllllplnee. It authoratlve, and we may perhape assume that It Is, In a sense, this la certainly a declaration fraught In great consequences. It Is es pecially significant, coming as It does, from the ex-sooretary of war, whose relation to that question In all of Its phrases has been probably more Intimate than, that of any other man. He must know whereof he affirms. ' Whether or not It la In any sense a re sponse to the widely signed memorial In the interest of the' Philippine Independence, which had the endorsement of so many men representing very largely our univer sities and colleges. It certainly indicates a very decided and gratifying trend In the light direction in- high official quartera. Mr. Root'a peroration cloeed with, The honesty, the purity and the courage of Theodora Roosevelt," evoking a storm of applause, lasting for thirty seconds. There Is an impression that this Is the point where the portrait waa Intended to have been unveiled. ' Wednesday open with magnificent con vention weather, cool, clear and delight ful.

The principal point of Interest In the report of the committee on permanent or ganisation, which was duly accepted, was the naming of Speaker Cannon as the permanent chairman of the convention.

PRELIMINARY WORK ABOUT FINISHED Speaker Cannon the Control Fig-ore and the Adaption of tho Plat form tho Event of the Convention. CHICAGO, June 22. Senator Fairbanks will be nominated for vice president unanl mously. The Illinois delegation met today and decided to withdraw the name of Rep resentative Robert R. Hltt When Illinois ia reached on the call ot states. Senator Cullora will announce that he haa received a telegram from Mr. Hitt directing that his nam be withdrawn from the convention and . that Illinois will sup port Senator Fairbanks. The names of the other candidates also will be withdrawn. Senator Dolllver will present the name of Senator Fairbanks to the convention. With the platform completed and In the hands of the full committee, every element of speculation seems removed from the re maining sessions of the convention. The members of the Colorado delegation aald that following the action of the Illi nois delegation they would not present the name of John W. Springer as a vice presi dentlal candidate from that state. Cannon Central Flgnre, Because Speaker Joseph G. Cannon was the central figure the proceedings of the republican national convention today took on a plctureequeness and demonstrative nesa which yesterday was looked for In vain. From the moment he . was eecorted to the platform to wield the gavel as the permanent chairman the entire atmosphere of the convention changed. Enthusiasm which had laid dormant burst forth and the applause rang strong and hearty. He made a speech and the audience cheered whanever he spoke jocularly or In serious vein. . From the- standpoint of political im portance the adoption of the party plat form waa the event of the day. It con' talned declarations of party policy that are to form the basis of much of ths oratory In the coming campaign. But tho perma nent chairman's personality almost over' shadowed the platform. The second day of the convention might have been the close had It been the desire of the assembled delegates. Early In the 1 day a movement was Inaugurated to pro I ceed with the nominations, but the original program which was prepared to extend over three days, prevailed and the standard bearers for the 1904 republican campaign will be named formally tomorrow. Live party enthusiasm aroused by the hearty reception given "Uncle Joe" Cann on, aa he Is known from coast to poaat, spread even to routine business and cul minated In a contest over the number of delegates to which Hawaii was entitled. The conflict was the first and will doubt less be the last on the floor of the conven tion. The report of the committee on rules credited two delegates to Hawaii. Senator Foraker offered, an amendment Increasing uie number, te six delegates. - . . . It waa disposed of through an "Amend ment to the rules offered' by - Represen tative Bingham, chairman of 'the commit tee. He proposes that the representation hereafter should be two delegates from Hawaii, but that the six delegates already seated should not be disturbed. It was car ried by a vote of 487 to OO. The report ot the committee on creden tials Interested the convention only so far aa It dealt with the Wisconsin situation. Senator MoComaa of Maryland, chairman of the committee, read reporting the In vestigation of the contest He took the delegates into his confidence and explained in detail the thoroughness which was made Into the merits of the contest, de spite the fact that the contestants had withdrawn their claims on the ground that fair treatment could not be had. Ho said that the imputation waa directed at the convention Itself and though resented deeply Toy the committee, the Inquiry was exhaustive and patient The report closed with a declaration that "stalwart". faction led by Senators Bpooner and Charles, Repreaenttlve Babcock and Judge Emll Baensch, the four delegates at large. Is the regular republican party In Wisconsin. 'This national endorsement of the faction holds by the two United States senators from that state evoked prolonged applause. One of the remarkable feature concern ing the adoption' of the platform was the fact that It haa been the subject of ad ministrative scrutiny and national Interest for many weeks and was accepted without a dissenting vote. In addition to thevtarlff plank and other resolutions whloh always have had a promi nent position In republican platforms, there were Incorporated several clauses of strik ing Interest One of theee Is a plank look ing to the education of the representation of certain southern states In the electoral college and In congress. .It Is built upon what is known aa the "Payne resolution," offered eight years ago, under the Quay resolution offered four years ago, but goes further 'than ever. The plank directs an Investigation to ascertain whether there hava been uncon stitutional disfranchisements of voters In any state and If so, demands a reduction of the representation of such states In con gress, with the consequent reduction In the electoral college and in national conven tions. The full significance of pledges for the continuance of the provisions of the Chinese exclusion act and for the further ance of all legitimate efforts to obtain for American cltlsens abroad without discrimi nation the rights of sojourn and travel, was not appreciated when read to the con vention. Visitors were not ao early about the con vention hall today, but when Mr. Root called the convention to order shortly after noon the Coliseum presented a more In spiring appearance than on the preceding day. The galleries were for the first time crowded and the large number of ladles present was especially noticeable. Piatt and Dopow Cheered. Among the first ot the prominent men to enter the hall were Senators Piatt and Depew. They were weloomed heartily, Sen ator Depew'a happy speech of the day be fore hot bovlng been . forgotten. The Alaskan delegation, with their eagle-aur-mounted totem poles, were the second at traction. The greatest demonstration, aa the delegations were entering the hall, was that which greeted Senator Fairbanks, who had become known as the national choice for the second place on the ticket. It eo ceeded In enthusiasm the ovation of the first day. While delegations Interchanged Ideas on the floor or sought their seats, the con vention was called to order abruptly by the temporary chairman, Mr. Root When the delegates delayed obedience to the call.
