After the crowd yelled Itself hoarse It permitted the band to participate In the demonstration. The leader chose patrlotlo music, and the familiar words were taken up by the convention and sung with earn estness. The band changed to rag-time and the convention found cheering was better timed to t,he muelc. There was no pause In the enthusiasm. Several times ij Speaker Cannon walked out on the projec ' tlon and lifted his hand for order, f When from sheor exhaustion the throng lessened Its tumult and Speaker Cannon found his opportunity; golr.g to the very edge of the" platform, he knelt and poundel ' the floor for ord'r. When he had gained ' attention jf the convention he announced '. that the flag he -had been waving was i sacred to the party ns the national emblem, waved when the beloved. Lincoln was th! ' choice of the rcpubllrto convention. His speech caused another outburst of ap plause In honor of the flag. Senator Eeverldgo was recognized by the ' chair for the purpose of seconding the nomination cf Mr. Roosevelt for president. He waa followed by George A. Knight of California. Mr. Knight had a voice which i fairly thund .red through the hall. He opened his speech by a statement concern ing the broad expanse of republican har ' mony. "Geography," he roared, and some wit In the extreme end of the hall ahouted In response, "Not so loud." The conven '. tlon laughed and so did Mr. Knight. Pandemonium Bans Hlot. The orator from the Golden Gate City had tho convention with him. Mr. Knight proved himself a man of phrases. The California delegates started a parade around the convention hall at the close '. of Mr. Knight's speech, but Speaker Can non wanted to get on with business. Ac- ' cordlngty, aa soon as he could make hlm- self heard, he recognized the next speaker. The seconding speeches following that of ' Mr. Knight were made by Perry Btlllwell j Kdwards of Georgia, ex-Governor Bradley oft Kentucky, Joseph B. Cotton of Minne- sota and Hary C. Cummlngs of Maryland. Mr. Cummlngs is one of the colored dele - gates, and be told I of the colored man's service, to. the republicans under President Roosevelt.

The objection waa general and , every state accepted the opportunity of , easting Its entire vote for the president, , Pandemonium broke loose again when the speaker announced that there were 90i votes and 9M votes bad been caat for " Roosevelt.. A great picture of the president waa carried about through the hall. It was followed by a banner carried by the a" Oregon delegation . btarlng the words: "First gun, Oregon, 23.884 Aoosevelt, Forty per cent republican gain."

The New York delegation was on lta feet like one man, waving tneir nags ana shouting wildly. Ex-Governor Frank Black of New York, who was to dsllver the nominating speech In behalf of Presi dent Roosevelt, immediately started for the platform, amid the wildest entnusiaam on the part of'the delegates. Am flrtvmmnr Tllark reached the desk Of Chairman Cannon he was warmly greeted by that gentleman and escorted down to the front of the platform. Black K antes Rooaevelt. Here Chairman Cannon, standing by the side of Mr. Black, in a few words Intro duced him to the convention. Thera waa succession of shouts from the convention, a chorua of ahrleks from the New York delegation, then silence, and Mr. Black com menced his speech in behalf of President Roosevelt. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con vention: We are here to inaugurate a campaign which seems already to be nearly closed. So wlsoly have the people sowed and watched and tended, there seems little now to do but to measure up the grain. They are ranging themselves not for battle but for harvest. In one column reaching from toe Maine woods to the Puget Sound there are thoaa DeoDle and those states which have stoou so long together, that wnen great emergencies arise tne nation turns Instinctively to them. In this col umn, vast and soiid. is a majority so over whelming that the scattered squads in op position can hardly ralat another army. The enemy has neither guns aor ammuni tion, and If they had they would use them on each other. Destitute of the weapons of effective warfare, the only evidence of ap proaching battle is in the tone and number of their bulletins, ".'here is discord among the generals; discord among the soldiers. iMca would ngnt in bis own way. out De fore assaulting his republican adversaries be would first destroy bis own comrades in the adjoining tents. Each believes the weapons chosen by the other are not only wicked but fatal to tne holder. That la true. This is the only war of modern times where the boomerang has been sub stituted for the gun. Whatever fatalities may occur, nowever, among tne aiacoraam hoata now moving on St. L,ouls, no harm will come this fall to the American neoDle. There will be no opposition sufficient to raise a connict. mere win oe naraiy enough for competition. There are no democratic plana for the conduct ol tne fall campaign. Their zeal Is chiefly cen tered In discussion as to what Thomas Jef ferson would do if he were living. He is not uvmg ana Dut tew or nis descendants are among the democratic remnants of today. Whatever of oatrlotlsm or wisdom emanated from that distinguished man IS now represented in tnla convention. Party Solves Problem. . . There are manv new namaa In theaa dava. but the republican party needs no new title. It stands now where It stood at the beginning. Memory alone la needed to tell the source from which the inspirations of the country flow, a drowsy memory would ue as guiuy now as a sleeping watenman when the enemy Is astir. The name of the republican party stands over every door wnere a ngnteous cause was born, its members have gathered around every movement, no matter how weak. If In spired by high resolve. Its flag for mora than fifty years baa been the sign of hope on every spot where liberty waa the word. i nat party neeoa no new name or plat form to deslarnate its nurnoaea. It la now as It has been, equipped, militant and In motion, xne- prooiems oi every sge met age must solve. Great causes Impose great demands, but never In any enterprise nave the American people failed, and never In any crisis has the republican party failed to express the conscience and Intelligence of that people. You have come from every state and ter ritory in this vast domain. The country and the town have vied with each other in sending here their contributions to this splendid throng Every highway in the land is leading here and crowded with the memrjers or tnat great party which sees In this SDlendid cltv the avnv of lta risa and power. Within this unexampled tnul- iiiuue is every ranx ana condition or Tree men, every creed and occupation. But today a common purpose and desire have engaged us all, and from every nook said corner of the country rises but a single choice to fill the most exalted office In the world. He Is no stranger waiting in the shade to be called suddenly Into publio iuit. ine American people nave seen nirn for many years snd always where the fight was thickest and the greatest need was felt. He has been alike conspicuous In the pursuits of Deaco and In the arduous atreaa of war. No man now living will forget the spring of '98, when the American mini was so inflamed and American patriotism so aroused; when among all the eager clt Ixens surging to the front aa soldiers, the man whom this convention has already in tm heart was among the flrst to hear the call and answer to his name. Preferring peace but not. afraid of war; faithful to every private obligation vet flrst to volun.

The fate of nations la 'still decided by tHelr wars. You mav talk of nrdarlv tri bunals and learned refereea; you may alng In your schools the gentle praises of the quiet life; you may strike from your books tne last note oi every martini anthem, and yet out in the smoke and thunder will always be the tramp of horses and the silent, rigid, upturned face. Men may prophesy and women prsy, but peace will come here to abide forever on this earth only when the dreams of childhood are the accepted charts to guide the destinies of man. fctventa are numberleas and mighty, and no man can tell which wire runs around the world. The nation ha akin in. day In the quiet of contentment snd repose may still be on the deadly circuit and to morrow writhing In the toils of war. This is the time when great figures must be kept in front. If the pressure Is great the material to resist It must be granite and Iron. Whether we wish It or not, America Is abroad in this world. Her Interests are In every street, her name Is on every tongue. Those Interests so sacred and stupendous should be -trusted onlv to the care of tluee whose power, skill and courage nave oeen tested ana approved. And In the man whom veu will rhivm the highest sense of every nation in the world beholds a man who typifies aa no other living American does, the spirit and the purpoaea of the twentieth century. He dona pot claim to be the Bolomon of his time. There are many things lis may not know, but this Is sure, that above all things else he Stands for progress, courage and fair play, whioh are the synonyms of the American name. There are times when great fitness Is hardly leas than destiny, when the elements so come together that they select the agent they will use.

Haw tba Speaker Uaktl, Aa he confronted the convention Gov ernor Black presented a striking figure He la tall and gaunt. His hair, originally dark brown, la liberally sprinkled with gray; hla dark eyea look out sharply front behind spectacles and from beneajh closely overhanging eyebrows. Governor Black'a voice, though not heavy, carried well and Increased In volume aa he got fairly underway. Hla epigrams provoked laughter and the sharply turned sentence, for wlilch be la noted, never failed to raise a ripple of appreciative ap plause. On the lapel of hie coat Governor Black wore a pink carnation, and every few minutes of hla address he clutched this lightly up In hla handkerchief, rom hla left to hla light hand, always, when he did so, holding his right hand behind his back. He used few gestures and these mainly by the left arm. which he raised from time to time when he desired to em phasise a point. Cheers Draws Artlealate Soaad. Governor Black pronounced tha nominat ing words Just at 11:08 o'clock. Aa he did Jb he quickly retired frqm the' platform. But the words "Theodors Roosevelt" had not left his lips when there waa a ahout. Tha convention waa on lta feet. Like the crash of thunder that follows the lightning enthusiasm began. Flaga were In the air, hata were -thrown up, men Jumped on to their chairs; women stood and shouted. The air was rent with one contlnuoua prolonged ahout from thou sands of throata. So mighty waa the volume of aound that nothing definite In the way of articulate aounda was distinguish able. At thla point the band struck up. Its strains, however, were only faintly dis cernible In the mighty din. Then Chairman Cannon took a hand. Unfurling a tattered silk flag, he advanced to the extreme edge of tha platform and began to wave It PIa Frasa Llaeela Caaveatlea. The flag la tha property of the Uncoln McKinley association of Missouri, and It mad lta first appearance at a republican national convention In 1890, when Lincoln waa nominated. It waa then carried by the Missouri delegation and was waved over the platform on that occasion aa in thla. It waa fuel to the flame of enthusiasm and the volume of sound Increased. The front of the platform was next oc cupied by an immense portrait of President Rooaevelt bctne aloft by three men. Again broke lctth fresh Impetus to tba contlnuoua shout. The stage was next given over to a young man with a megaphone and a flag. As he swurg the banner from aide to aide he shouted th name "Roosevelt." At each awing of the flag tha name waa repeated. It was aoon taken up by the delegates In front, spread to those In the rear ai-d In a twinkle the whole assemblage waa shouting "Rooaevelt," "Roosevelt," In a measured unison. ' Tha young man who started the cry waa J. Henry Bmythe. Jr., of Philadelphia, where he la prominently Identified with amateur sports. Tha Indiana delegation sprung umbrellas of red, white and blue, bearing portraits of Roosevelt and Fairbanks; the Alaskan cages were held aloft and thousands of flaga waved in a wild sweep of colors. Hew York Starts March. Tha New York delegation, occupying a place immediately In front, started out on a marching tour of tha hall. Meanwhile the demonatratlon showed no signs of spending Itself; five, six and seven minutes It continued. There waa not the slightest diminution In the volume of sound. When the applause had continued almost seven minutes It waa given a new Impetus by Chairman Cannon, who walked once more to the front, carrying; hla large ban ner. A little girl, clad entirely In white, was lifted high on tha shoulders of soma of the California delegates, and the flrst aound of her childish treble waa the signal for another outburst A delegate requeated Chairman Cannon to loan him the large flag he had carried, and with a smile the chairman handed it down. Around the hall It went, followed by a long Una of shouting delegates. California, with lta great banner of purple, white and gold, cam marching down tha canter aisle, and followed by senators, members 'of congress and .others prominent In the Ufa of tho nation, . trooping along behind, . ahoutlng, laughltvf and cheering. The ,Nw York delegation, catching eight of Henry C. Payne on tha platform, paid him a brief and especial tribute, and then returned onoa more to the cheerlnjr of the candi date, shouting "Rooaevelt," "Roosevelt," "Rooaevelt," "New York," over and over again. A email colored boy, James Blaine Caalun of Georgia, with long curling hair, hoisted upon tha platform and he waved In frantic fashion a small national flag. Louise Roberts, tha young girl who had created the enthusiasm In the Cali fornia delegation, waa next carried up, borne high on the shoulders of a stalwart delegate from Indiana, She created a new furore of enthusiasm as she tossed her flag to and fro. Little Naomi Da. Foe of Alpena, Mich., followed for a brief period, and when aha had wavel her flag but a few minutes Chairman Cannon pushed to tha front and aaylng, "Please let me In, my dear," he 'rapped vigorously for order. Cannoa Restores Order. Tha applause at thia time had continued almost exactly twenty-thre minutes. It required fully five minutes and several more raps by tha chairman and tha strenuous work of numerous police and aergeants-at-ai ma to get the delegates . one mora Into ttelr seats. When Chairman Cannon had Anally se cured order the secretary read a history of the flag which Mr. Cannon had been wav ing. Grasping tha flag- and waving It over his head Mr. "Cannon said: It prophesied victory In 1160; lta Ufa has been baptised on many a battlefield alnce and It Is safe in the hands of President Roossvelt Cheers foUowed and were Increased when Mr. Cannon recognised Senator Beveridgo of Indiana, who he Introduced In these words; "Gentlemen of the Convention: I have tha honor of Introducing to you a gentle man whom you all know, a eon of Indiana who when ha has a message Insists upon a heailng, and when he speaks the people are enlightened and enthused." Beveridce Iteaali If oaalaatloai. Senator .Beverldge began hla speech amid loud applause. He said In parti Gentlemen of tha Convention: One differ ence between the opposition and ourselves Is this: They select their candidate for the people, and tha people select our candidate for us. This waa true four years ago when we accepted the people's Judgment and named William McKlnley, whose perfect mingling of mind and heart, of wisdom and of ten derness, won the trust and love of the na tion then and makes almost holy his mem ory now. His power waa In the people's favor, his shrine is In the people's hearts It Is true today when we again accept the people's Judgment and name Theodore Roosevelt whose sympathies are as wlds as ths republlq, whose courage, honesty and vision meet ajl emergencies, and ths sum of whose qualltlea make him the type of twen tieth century Americanism. And the twen tieth century American la nothing more than the man of "It facing a new day with the old faith. Of what measure of Theodore Roosevelt's administration does the opposition dare even to propose to repeal T And when has the record of any president won greater approval T And so the people trust him aa a states man. Better than that, they love him as a man. He wins admiration in vain who wins not affection also. In the American home- that temple of happiness and virtue where dwell the wives and mohera of the repub lic, cherishing the iMntutlful In life and guarding the morality of the nation In the Amvnian iiuun in name oi J neoaore Roosevelt Is not only honored but beloved. And that la a greater triumph than the via tcry of battlefields, greater credit than suo oesaful atateamanshlp, greater honor than the presidency tlaelf would be without It. Life holds no reward so noble as the con fidence and love of the American people. Mr. Beverldge spoke with force and In creasing enthusiasm, and Insisted his points with a graceful gvtsture with tba right hand. His voloe was probably the easiest heard of any spoken which tbs convention has yet heard. Speech Makes a Hit. Shouts, cheers and cat calls resounded through tba hall wheal ths seaator sar castically said: "No mystery was aver elected president and never will be." Long before he concluded his speech Senator Bevartdge's collar waa a willed I 10 Cents a 1 MAGAZINE, The July number, just out, contains the story of the Great Chicago Strike of 1894 by former President Grover Cleveland The Government's right to interfere in spite of State officials.

OET McCLURE'S FROM ANY NEWSDEALER OR McCLURE AGENT band and the perspiration Waa streaming down his face, but his vole lost none of Its carrying power, and his manner none of lta energy. Senator Beverldge's con cluding words, "Indiana seconds the name of Rooaevelt," released the waiting cheer, the band and the flags. It waa ahort lived, however, and order waa aoon restored. When the convention had expressed its appreciation of Indlana'a second In tha nomination. Chairman Cannon announced that Georgo A. Knight of Colorado would second the nomination. The California delegation ahowed that It waa prepared for the occasion. The old stage coach, long drawn yell, "Wahoot" was re-echoed through the hall and a Cali fornia banner, followed by a huge wreath of flowers, waa borne through the hall aa Mr. Knight waa proceeding to the plat form. Mr. Knight waa Introduced by Chair man Cannon. He had a voice which penetrated the furthest recesses of the hall and rolled back In echoes. When he began a voice In the far end ahouted "Not ao loud." This was a touch which the convention appreciated, and gave It self up to a hearty laugh. Mr. Knight said: Gentlemen of the convention: Geography has but little to do with the senti ment and enthusiasm that la today ap parent In favor of tha one who la to be given all the honors and dutlea of an elected president of the United States of America. However, the Pacific slope and the islands, those ocean bouya of com merce moored in the drowsy tropical sea, send to this convention words of confident greeting with discreet assurance that your Judgment will be endorsed by the Ameri can voter and our country continue ita wonaenui progress under republican suc cess.

We want a president typical of the coun try, one who will ' preserve Its history, enforce lta lawa, teach Americanism and fight the wrong. He loves the whole country and knows no favorite section: he haa performed bis sacred promise, he has kept the faith with McKlnley's memory, and now faces respon sibilities his own. He hypnotizes obsta cles, looks them in the eye and overpowers with self conscious honesty of purpose. "No, no," were the shouted responses of tha convention to Mr. Knight's declara tion. "Socialism can have no place among us. Anarchy cannot live In America." . Knlsht a Phraae Maker. Mr. Knight prored to be a phrase maker. "Cowardice, duplicity and dishonesty are not Impulsive," shouted Mr. Knight "Theodore Roosevelt la Impulsive. Ha hypnotises people." "Wa-Ho-Oo" again sounded, aa the Cali fornia delegation took' up tha cry amid laughing aplause. Mr. Knight waa surrounded by an en thuslaatic throng as he left ths platform. Senator Scott of West Virginia threw his arms around him and hugged him enthusi astically. The California delegation, with the great gold banner and a cornet player of uncertain abiUty, took liberties with' "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," and started on a parade, but it waa aoon over, and Chairman Cannon announced tha next speaker aa "Mr. Still well of Georgia." There were loud crlea of "Edwards," and Mr. Cannon waa Informed that the name of the speaker waa Harry Btlllwell Ed wards. "Well," said tha chairman to the convention, Vhls middle name Is Still wall." He then formally introduced Mr. Edwarda in a ahort but effective speech. Mr. Ed warda, who la a man of alight physique, is not sifted with a penetrating voice Ilk that of ex-Governor Black, Senator Bev erldge and Mr. Knight, and for thla reason ha was unable to command the absorbing attention that had been given to those who spoke before him. Mr. Edwards Talks. Mr. Edwards' speeoh was eminently sat isfactory, however, to thoss within range of hla voice and he ,waa frequently Inter rupted by applause. Mr. Edwards jiald; It is eminently fit and' proper that a Georgian should on this occasion second the eloquent speaker from Now York, that the voice of the motherland should bleni with ths voice of the fatherland to declare that the destinies of America shall for four years more be entrusted to the great son born of the union of the two empire Coming Into the position of the martyred McKlnley, ths youngest chief magistrate that has ever filled the presidential rhair without the privilege and advantage of preliminary aiscussion ana consultation, he gave the country a pledge that he would carry out ths policy of his predecessor. It waa a master stroke of genius, applauded alike north and south. Hla conception of the duties of his high office, as enunciated by him at Harvard was. to serve all alike, well; to act in a spirit of fairness and Jus tice to ail men, and to give each man his rights. He has kept this pledge; he had lived up to this fine conception of his duty. This pledge Involved a completion of the work begun In Cuba and an honor able discharge of the promiaes mads to our struggling neighbor. The flag of an Independent republio floats over Havana today, and all men know that we have kept faith with tbe Cuban people.
