HENRY CABOT LODGE.
Ing, and the interior of the vast struc
ture again was as immaculate us when
first invaded. Outside the hull the grounds
were kept free, except to the officials
and attendants, ami the crowds apt in
congested at the outer entrances, five
treet car lines emptying hundreds and
later thousands into the approaches. Per
fect order prevailed, and all the arrange
ments tended to the ease aud comfort of
the visitors.
The working meuiliors of tile conven
tion, delegates and alternates, remained
down tow n during ilij? early hours. Some
of the dtutes held nioruiug caucuses,
again seeking to determine the senti
ment on the chief subject of vexation,
the vice presidency. Senator Ilanua ap
peared at lreakfat smiling und appar
ently confident, without a trace of wony
or fatigue from the nerve rucking ordeal
of the last few days. The other leaders
timet! from the secret conftreuoes which
had ieeu so constant up to an early hour
this morning, nnd calmly awaited th
solution of pending questions on condi
tions now established. Their varying
comments iuduated that while a ivisis
was not expected today, it was felt to lie
at least a strong possibility.
It was almost 11 o'clock wheu the ad
vance guard of the great urmy of vis
itors crossed the Schuylkill und besieged
the dour of the Convention hall. The
rcnominatiou of President McKinley was
to be the event of the day, and every
road led toward the Export Exposition
building. In streit curs, carriages and
afoot the people streamed thither. There
ure I?') entrances to the hall, mere key
holes into the vast amphitheater, and
through these tiny holes the populace
ilowed unceasingly, gradually spreading
over and blotting out the great waste of
uupainted pine i hairs. As on yesterday,
the delegate were slow in arriving, but
the distinguished guests were on hand
omew hat earlier.
Ex-Postmaster General Gary and the
Rev. Edgar M. Levy, the chaplain who
prayed at the first convention of the
party half a century ago, were conspicu
ous on the stage, and in prominent seats
overlooking the delegates' pit sat Ad
jutant General Corhin and General
Hate. The vaes at the corners of the
stage today contained tlaiuiug bum-hes
of crimson ramblers, aud on the chair
man's desk was a fresh bomiuet of roses
and mignonette-. The long session ahead
with perhnps a tedious protracted eon
test over the report of the committee
on credentials, held no terrors f,,r the
assembling thousands. The delightfully
cool und bracing weather was au as
surance against discomfort. Shortly after
11 o'clock the big Municipal baud of
Philadelphia took its place in the gal
lery opHsite the stage, and a few min
utes later the strains of Soiisa's stirring
marches crashed out.
WOMEN SPFFUAGISTS THERE.
Some of the member of the National
Legislative League of the Women Suf
fragists were busily engaged while the
delegate were assembling distributing
appeal for a declaration by the conven
tion favorable to woman suffrage. A
on yesterday, ninny of the leading light
of the Republican party came In without
causing a Hurry. Senator Lodge, who is
to be permanent chairman of the conven
tion, came in with the Massachusetts
delegation at five minute before 1-, but
there was not a ripple.
The first demonstration occurred a
minute later when Senator ILinna enter
ed uud crossed the length of the bull to
the sUgo. He could baldly make In;
way to the plat form ow ing to the pres
sure of the d"le.v,tes to greet him as hf
passed through the pit.
Senator l'makcr. handsome and debo
nair, aroused the next outburst. Govern
or poster Vooihees of New .lersey, who
arrived this morning from Europe, was
warmly greeted, lie was escorted to the
platform by Senator Sewell.
At 1J o'clock, lifter Senator Itaiina had
reached the platform, the ushers carried
into the pit great hunches of red, white
n ll.l blue pampas plumes. They looked
like the same plumes which were In evi
dence at St. Louis four years ago, nnd
they were probably destined to pel form
a similar function in the great McKinley
demonstration later in the day.
CHEEKS roil ROOSEVELT.
"Our Chaimccy" was not overlooked
today, ami there was a great flutter of
handkerchiefs from the ladies as he en
tered, but it was again Governor Roose
velt who set the convention wild. Still
wearing his rough rider hat, he appeared
ns on yesterday nt the main entrance and
was greeted with wildest applause.
The great hall was now black with peo
ple, and the scene was Inspiring ns the
eye roamed over the acres of humanity.
At l-:-tJ Senator Woloott rapped for or
der. Immediately the baud started up
"The Star Spangled Hanncr." nnd the
vast nudietice rose en tnnsse. Governor
Roosevelt, as on yesterday, being first on
his sent.
Senator Wolcott again rapped for order
ns the swelling strains floated away,
wielding the heavy mallet with his lett
hand. When the confusion had subsided,
Her. Charles M. Hoswell opened the pro
ceedings with prayer. Eew of the dele
gates rose. While the invocation was
ascending to the grout white throne n
couple of enterprising photographers from
the press embankment were tuking suup
shots of the convention.
The men who applaud prayers at lnrge
gatherings were present and signalized
their approval of the divine's invocation
with hand nnd voice.
A remarkable tribute to the flag nnd to
the pioneers of the Republican party
now occurred. Mr. Wolcott stepped for
ward ami stated that 1" survivors of the
first Republican convention, called nt
Pittsburg 44 years ngo, were present with
the same old Hag used in that convention.
At that moment a tile of white haired
patriarchs appeared in the rear, bearing
at their head a faded American flag, tat
tered and barely held together by a cross
staff.
As the flag appeared the nudience rose,
delegates, spectators and guests, nnd a
deafening salute went up for the faded
standard nnd its venerable upholders.
The 15 white haired men ranged them
selves side by side, looking out on the
sea of faces. Alongside the flag another
standard bore the legend, "National Pre
niont Association. Republican Putty, Or
ganized Feb. 2'2. lSTiit. at Pittsburg, Pa."
PIONEERS APPLAUDED.
When the storm of applause had sub
sided, the delegation read n resolution
declaring their unwavering allegiance to
the party they had helped to bring forth.
The resolutions regretted the inability
of many of the members of the National
Fremont association to be present be
cause of advanced age and designated
Major H. R. Long and J. K. Conner to
represent them. The resolution conclud
ed with the declaration that "we hearti
ly indorse the administration of Hon.
William McKinley, which gives us such
unbounded prosperity."
This incident over, the chairman recog
nized Representative Screuo E. Payne
of New York, chairman of the commit
tee on credentials, who mounted the plat
form aud rend the report of that com
mittee, which wns adopted.
The convention, which evidently felt
relieved at this quick disposition of the
conte.-ts, signified its approval with ap
pla use.
General Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman
of the committee on permanent organiza
tion, then presented that committee's re
port, which named Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts ns permanent
chairman. This report wus also put
through with u whirl.
"The chair announces ns a committee
to escort Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to
the chair," nnmmnced Mr. Wolcott, "Gov
ernor Shaw of Iowa nnd Governor Theo
dore Roosevelt of New York."
A cheer went up, strong and long eon
tinned, as this group of names fell from
the chairman' lips. Apparently Govern
or Roosevelt had not expected to be thus
designated, and his face showed signs
of nnnoyance. With Governor Shaw he
stepped to Mr. Lodge's seat, and, with
the permanent chairman between them,
they marched up the platform. The
cheers echoed continuously until Mr.
Lodge, after greeting Mr. Wolcott, turn
ed to the audience and began his address.
SENATOR LODGE'S SPEECH.
After thanking the convention for the
honor conferred in making him perma
nent chnirmat) Mr. Lodge said:
We meet again to nominate the next
president of the United States. Four year
have passed since we nominated the sol
dier and statesman who Is now president
and who Is soon to enter upon hi second
term. Since the civil war no presidential
term has been so crowded with great
events ns tftut which Is now drawing to a
close. They have been four memorable
years. To Republicans they show a rec
ord of promises kept, of work done, of un
foreseen questions met and answered. To
the Democrats they have been generous
ill the exhibition of unfulfilled predic
tions. In the ruin of their hopes of calam
ity and In futile opposition to the forces
of the times and the aspirations of the
American people. I wish I could udd that
they had been equally Instructive to our
opponents; but. while It Is true that the
Democrats, like the Hourbons. learn noth
ing. It Is only too evident that the fa
miliar comparison cannot be completed,
for they forget a great deal which it
would lie well for them to remember.
In K'C we took the government and the
country from the hands of President
t'leveland. Ills party had abandoned him
nnd were Joined to their Idols, of which
he was no longer one. During the last
years of his term we had presented to u
the melancholy spectacle of a president
trying to govern without a party. The
result was thathls policies were In ruin,
legislation was a standstill, and public af
fairs were In a perilous ami Incoherent
condition. Party responsibility had van
ished and with It nil possibility of Intelli
gent action demanded by the country at
home and abroad. It wus an Interesting
but by no means singular display of Dem
ocratic unfitness for the practical work
of government. To the political student It
was instructive; to the country It was ex
tremely painful, to business disastrous.
We replaced this political chaos with a
president In thorough hccosvI with his
party, and the machinery of government
began again to move smoothly and ef
fectively. Thus we kept ut once our
promise of better nnd more efficient ad
ministration. In four months after the
Inauguration of President McKinley we
had passed a tariff bill. For ten years
the urtltlcUI agitation in behalf of what
was humorously called tariff reform nni5
of what Was renlly free trade bad k--pt
business In n ferment and had brought
treasury deficit, paralysed Industries, de
pression, panic and. finally, continuous
bud times to a degree never before Imag
ined. Would you know the result of our
tariff legislation, leek about you. Would
you measure Its success, recollect that It
Is no longer nn Issue; that our opponents,
free traders as thny ere, do not dare to
make It nn Issue; that tin re Is not a state
In the I'nlon today which could be carri-d
for free trade against protection. Never
wus n policy mote fully Justified by Its
works; never was a promise made by any
party more absolutely fulfilled.
Dominant among the Issues of four
years ngo was that of our monetary and
tinamliil system. The Republican party
promised to uphold our credit, to protect
our currency from revolution and tj
maintain the gold standard. We have
done so. We have done more. We have I
been better than our promise. Falling to
secure, after honest effort, any encour
agement for International bimetallism, we
have passed a law strengthening the gold
standard and planting It more firmly than
ever In our financial system. Improving
our banking laws, buttressing our credit
and refunding the public deht at 2 l't'
Cent Interest, the lowest rate In the world.
It wus a great work well done.
Continuing. Mr. Lodge said:
We had already thwarted the efforts of
the t'leveland administration to throw the
Hawaiian Islands back to their dethroned
queen and to give Kngland a foothold for
her cables In the group. We then said
that we would settle finally the Hawaiian
question. We have done so. The tradi
tional American policy has been carried
out. The flag of the Cnlon tloats today
over the crossroads of the Pacific.
We promised to deal with the Cuban
question. Aguln comes the reply, we
have done so. The long agony of the Is
land Is over. Cuba Is free, nut this great
work brought with It events and Issues
which no man had foreseen, for which no
party creed had provided a policy. The
crisis came, bringing war In Its train.
The Republican president nnd the Repub
lican congress met the new trial In the
old spirit. We fought the war with Spain.
The result Is history known of all men.
We have the perspective now of only a
short two years, and yet how clear and
bright the great facts stand out, like
mountain peaks against the sky. while
the gathering darkness of n Just oblivion
Is creeping fast over the low grounds
where lie forgotten the trivial and unim
portant things, the criticisms and the
fault findings which seemed so huge when
we still lingered among them: Here they
are. these great facts: A war of a hundred
days, with many victories and no defeats,
with no prisoners tuken from us and no
advance staid, with a triumphant' out
come startling In Its completeness and In
Its worldwide meaning. Wus ever a war
more Justly entered upon, more quickly
fought, more fully won. more thorough In
Its results? Cuba Is free. Spain has been
driven from the western hemisphere
Fresh glory has come to our arms and
crowned our flag. It was the work of
the American people, but the Republican
party was their Instrument. Have we
not the right to say that, here, too. even
us In the days of Abrahum Lincoln, we
have fought a good fight, we have kept
the faith, we have finished the work.
The new problems brought by the war
we face with confidence In ourselves and
a s'lll deeper confidence In the American
people, who will deal Justly and rightly
with the Islands which have come Into
their charge. The outcry against our new
possessions Is ns empty as the cant about
"militarism" and "Imperialism" Is devoid
of sense and meaning.
For the Islands of Haw-all and Porto
Rico the political problem has been solv
ed, and by Republican legislation they
have been given self government and are
peaceful and prosperous under the rule
of the L'nited States.
In the Philippines we were met by re
bellion, fomented by a self seeking ad
venturer and usurper. The duty of the
president was to repress that rebellion;
to see to It that the authority of the
United States, as rightful and as right
eous in Manila as In Philadelphia, was ac
knowledged and obeyed. That harsh und
painful duty President McKinley has per
formed firmly and Justly, eager to resort
to gentle measures wherever possible, un
yielding when treachery and violence made
force necessary. Unlike the opponents of
expansion, we do not regard the soldier
of Otis and Lawton und MacArthur as
"an enemy's camp."
The restoration of peace and order now
so nearly reached In the Philippines Bhall
be completed. Civil government shall be
established and the people advanced us
rapidly as possible ulong the roud to en
tire freedom and to self government un
der our flag. We will not abandon our
task. We will neither surrender nor re
treat. We will not write failure across
this page of our history.
In conclusion Mr. Lodge said:
It Is on these facts that we shall ask
for the support of the American people.
What we have done is known, und about
what we Intend to do there Is neither se
crecy nor deception. What we promise wo
will perform. Our old policies are here,
alive, successful ard full of vigor. Our
new policies have been hegun. and for
them we ask support. When the clouds
of Impending civil war hung dark over
the country In lvJl. we took up the great
tusk then laid upon us and never flinched
until we had carried It through to vic
tory. Now, nt the dawn of a new cen
tury, with new policies and new oppor
tunities opening before us in the bright
sunshine of prosperity, we again ask the
American people to Intrust us with their
future. We have profound faith In the
people. We do not distrust their capacity
of meeting the new responsibilities even
as they met the old. and we shall await
with confidence, under the leadership of
William McKinley, the verdict of Novem
ber. THE TLATFORM.
Senator Puirbnnks, chairman of the
committee on platform, presented that
document, w hich met with warm approv
al. It is n pronounced indorsement of
President McKinley und his administra
tion. The financial mid revenue planks of the
platform indorse the notion of congress
and the executive on the currency ques
tion and the tariff and says:
"The eop!e l.y great majorities issued
to the Republican party a commission to
eniii t these laws. This commission has
boon executed, und the Rcpublicun prom
ise is redeemed. Prosperity inure general
and more iibuiulanl than we have ever
known has followed these enactments.
There is no longi r controversy as to th"
value of any government obligations.
Every American dollar is u gold dollar or
its assured equivalent, and American
credit stands higher than that of any
nation. Capital is fully employed, and
labor everywhere is profitably occupied.
No single fact can more strikingly tell
what Republican government menus to
the country than this that, while during
the whole period of 10" year from IT'.MJ
to IS'.'" there was nn excess of exports
over import of only If:i.s3,0-,4!17, there
ha been in the short three years of the
present Republican administration uu ex
cess of exports over imports in the enor
mous sum of $l,4XI.5o7.um."
The platform commends the Republican
party in maintaining the efficiency of the
civil service, favors the early admission
to statehood of New Mexico, Arizona
ami Oklahoma, favors construction, own
ership, control nnd protection of an isth
mian, caual ty the government; askj (or
the establishment of n department of
eoinmeiie and Industries, commends the
policy of au open door in China and sug
gests the reorganization f the consular
service.
Regarding Hawaiian nffairs it says:
"President McKinley has conducted
the foreign nITairs of the l'nited States
with distinguished credit to the Amer
ican people. In releasing us from the
vexatious condition of a European alli
ance for the government of Samoa, his
course Is especially to be commended.
Ity securing to our undivided control the
most Impoitant island of the Sainoan
group, the best harbor In the southern
Pacific, every American interest lias been
safeguarded.
PLANK ON TRUSTS. I
Speaking of ttusls, the platform says:
"Ve recognize the necessity nnd pro
priety of the holiest co-operation of capi
tal to meet new business conditions and
especially to extend our rapidly increasing
foreign trade, but we condemn nil con
spiracies and combinations intended to
restrict business, to create monopolies,
to limit production or fo control prices
nnd favor such legislation ns will effect
ively restrain and prevent all such
ubuses, protect and promote competition
nnd secure the rights of producers, labor
ers nnd nil who ure engaged in industry
and commerce."
The platform favors the public im
provement of highways, the extension of
rural free delivery and the reclamation
of arid lauds. It commends the part
taken by this government in The Hague
peuee confi'ietiee nnd says: "We assert
our steadfast ndhen tu e to the policy
announced in the Monroe doctrine. The
provisions of The Hague convention were
wisely regarded when President McKin
ley tendered his friendly oilier in the
interest of peace between Great Britain
nnd the South African republics. While
the American government must continue
the policy prescribed by Washington, af
firmed by every succeeding president nnd
imposed upon ns by The Hague treaty
of nonintervention In European contro
versies, the American people earnestly
hope that a way may soon be found, lum-
irable nlil.e to both contending parties.
to terminate the strife between them.

In the Spanish war. the president and
the senate won the undoubted approval
of the American people. No other course
was possible than to destroy Spain's sov
ereignly throughout the West Indies
nnd in the Philippine Islands. That
course created our responsibility before
the world, nnd with the unorganized pop
ulation whom our intervention had freed
from Spain, to provide for the mainte
nance of law nnd order. Mid for the estab
lishment of good government and for the
perfoi malice of international obligations.
Our authority could not be less than our
responsibility, nnd wherever sovereign
rights were extended it became the high
duty of the government to maintain its
niHhoi ity, to put down nrmcd insurrec
tion nnd to confer the blessings of liberty
and civilix.il ion upon nil the rescued peo
ples. The largest measure of self govern
ment consistent with their welfare nnd
our duties shall be secured to them by
law. To Cuba independence and self
government were assured In the same
voice by which war was declared, nnd
to the letter this pledge shall be per
formed." THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
The vice presidential situation con
tinues to be the absorbing topic with the
leaders, the delegates nnd the anxious,
expectant crowd. While many of the
conditions have been defined with clear
ness, there Is far from n definite and final
understanding which nil accept by com
mon consent. The action of the Now
York caucus late Inst nigln in unani
mously agreeing to support Woodruff is
not accepted ns permanently retiring
Roosevelt from the field. Kansas and
many other states are insistent stiil that
he shall be named, without reference to
his own wishes or the wishes of the New
York delegation. In some quarters it is
intimated that this is but nn admit stroke
ou the part of Mr. Piatt to show that it
is fn m without thnt the demand for
Roosevelt comes. The governor himself
is congratulating Mr. Woodruff us
though he were to be the nominee.
Hut the general impression prevails
that the time has gone by when New
York can deliver the vice president iul
nomination to nny one of its choice.
Moreover, Mr. Ilanua nnd the adminis
tration forces continue to look to Long
or Dolliver nnd ure. not deeply impressed
with the New York indorsement of
Woodruff.
II ANN A AND WOODRUFF.
It was observed that a rather signifi
cant byplay occurred ill the breakfast
room of the Walton this morning. Mr.
Il.iuna was taking his breakfast when
Mr. Woodruff, faultlessly groomed mid
happy with the New York indorsement,
entered the room and, seeing Mr. Haulm,
started toward the national chairman.
Hut the latter, glancing over his eye
glasses, appeared disinclined to join in
congratulations or a discussion of in
dorsements and, picking up his morning
paper, became so absorbed that Mr.
Woodruff passed on without u word of
exchange. Later, however, the lieuten
ant governor joined Mr. Ilanua ut his
table, nnd the two had n short talk.
The friends of Secretary Long are ac
cepting us sincere assurance that Roose
velt will not stand, nnd they are elated
with the progress made within the last
few hours. The action of California in
coining out flatly for Long means much,
us California, stands well nt the top ul
phabcti'iilly nnd will give an early im
petus to the Long movement when the
roll cf state Is culled. New England
now Is practically united with "s votes
for Long, although the Connecticut peo
pie are wavering. New Jersey adds her
strength to Long, und these acquisitions
have started a strong current toward
Long In the western delegations, although
the Roosevelt shadow still stands in the
way of formal action for the Massachu
setts man. The Dolliver force have not
abated their confidence, directing most
of their energies tn securing assurances
of support in case the Roosevelt move
ment should disappear.
