i
Concluded from Pare 1.
majority of the American people at the
polls next November. (Applause1.)
The names of the signers to the pro
test as read by the secretary were greet
ed with hisses and a voice in the rear
railed out "Good bye my lover, good
bye" as Senator Teller and his asso
ciates tiled out of the hall, marching
down the main aisle. The whole con
vention rose and yelled and waved
flaps, . hat and fans, while the band
played patriotic airs, the assemblage
singing the chorus "Three cheers for the
Red, White and Blue" to true accom
paniment of the band, shouting- until
hey were hoarse. The chair, when the
tumult had in some measure subsided,
said In his Blow, deliberate way: "Gen
tlemen of the convention, there seems to
be enough delegates left to do business.
(Great cheering.) The chair now asks
that a frentleman from Montana who
did not bp out" here an outburst of
cheering drowned the rest of the sen
tence and cries were made for Lee Man
tle, lie was asked to tome to the plat
form, but declined to do so.
SENATOR MANTLE'S SPEECH.
Senator Mantle stood on his chair In
the rear of the hall, facing the chair
man, and spoke as follows: "I desire to
say that a majority of the delegation
from the state of Montana has not felt
that, under all the circumstances sur
rounding this occasion, they were Jus
tilled in actually going out of the con
vention. (Applause.) Itut, Mr. Chair
man, I am bound to say, in deference to
the opinions and wishes of the major
ity of the Republicans of the state of
Montana, that we cannot give our ap
proval or our endorsement to the finan
cial plank this day adopted." (Ap
plnuse.) Senator Rrown, of Utah, rose to a
question of privilege and the chair. In
according him the llooi expressed a
hope that the request had not been
made for the purpose of saying any
thing offensive to this convention.
Senator Brown, speaking from the
platform.suld: "Mr. Chairman, the dele
gation from ITtah does not bolt.
(Cheers.) We do not beieve that the Re
publican party is the oppressor of the
people, but the guardian of liberty and
the protector of honest government.
(Appause.)
"Three of our delegates have gone,
and I am here to express sorrow at
their departure. We have asked them
to remain and we shan never cease to
regret their departure. (flood, and
cheers.) We have three delegates left
and three alternates, Messrs. Rogers,
Green and Smith, all true to the old
party, and who are as loyal to its prin
ciples and as fixed as the everlasting
mountains where we live. (Cheers.)
"In saying this; we stifl remain true
to the principles of free gold and free
silver at the old rates."
Senator lirown concluded by asking
that the three alternates he had named
be allowed to sit in the convention In
place of the delegates who had left.
The chairman said unless objections
.were made this would be so ordered.
No dissenting voice being raised, the
three alternates Lundsey Rogers, Web
Greene and A. Smith, were seated as
delegates from I'tnh.
The states were then called for the
choice of members of the national com
mittee and when completed a resolution
was then offered and adopted 'for a
meeting of the national committee to
morrow morning to fill vacancies. The
president then directed the call of
states for nominations for the presi;
dent y. '
NOMINATIONS ARE MALVJ3.
The first state to respond, .was Iowa,
when Mr. R. M. I!aldyi,f, of Couneil
Bluffs, came to the piriform and nomi
nated Senator W. It. 'Allison, of Iowa.
The speech ellel.d very little enthus
iasm, althoutrV'lt was applauded at
some po'nts.
The'next state to respond was Massa
chusetts and Senator Lodge, of that
state, came to the platform and nomi
- nated Thomas IS. Reed for the presi
dency. Mr. Reed's nomination was loudly ap
plauded, many of the delegations rising
and waving lings amid much cheering.
The nomination was seconded by
Charles E. Littlefleld, of Rockland.
When the Rtate of New York was
called a round of cheers greeted Mr.
Depew as he made his way to the plat
form and proceeded to put in nomina
tion Governor Levi P. Morton.
Mr. Depew's speech repeatedly elicit
ed bursts of laughter and applause, par
ticularly one humorous Interpolated
passage, in which he said: "I wonder
what our erring, bolting brothers will
say when they arrive at the Celestial
city, which is governed by Republican
principles and are met there by St.
Peter with a golden key?"
As he sat down he was loudly cheered.
M'KINLEY NOMINATED.
Ab Ohio was called and Governor For
aker came to the front there was such
cheering as has not marked the pro
ceedings of the. convention at any pre
vious time. He characterized the four
years of Democratic administration as
one stupendous disaster which had fal
len on all alike, the Just and the un
just But this affliction had one com
pensating advantage; it had displayed
the Democratic party. Their approach
ing national convention wias an ap
proaching national night mare. No one
knew what they were going to do, and
no one was seeking the nomination,
except a limited few, who had pro
claimed their unfitness by announcing
-a willingness to stand on any kind of a
platform. If Republican made no mis
take here, It would be re-established In
control of the government to hold It till
Providence, In His infinite mercy chose
again to chasten the nation. (Laughter
and applause.)
The people wanted something more
than a good business man, a fearless
leader, a wise statesman, but one who In
addition to all these, presented qualifi
cations which were exactly opposite of
this free trade deficit-making, bond-issuing
Democratic administration.
"I present o you such a man," said
Senator-elect Foraker, "In William Mc-
Klnley." At this point pandemonium
. was let loose and the convention gave
up to unrestrained yelling, cheering,
horn blowing, whistling, catcalling and
all the other devices common to such oc
' caalons. A number of red, white and
blue plumes, which (carefully wrapped
up) had been brought Into the conven
tion earlier In the proceedings, were
uncovered and waved, while almost
every delegate seemed to be wildly ges-
' tlculatlng with either a fan or a flag In
the air. The band trlied in vain to
compete with the ear splitting clatter.
but at last the strains of "Marching
through Georgia" caught the ears of
the crowd and they Joined In tht? chorus
and gradually quited down.
v Then a portrtat of MeKlnley was
hoisted on a ham with the United States
flag on the gallery facing the platform,
and the cheering began over again, to
which the band responded by playing
"Rally 'Round the Flag" and the con
vention Joined In the chorus.
Senator-elect Foraker stood during
all this wild scene smiling his approval.
Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, had in the mean
time been called to the chair by Sena
tor Thurston, but Just when he bad
nearly restored orders Mrs. H. W. R.
Strong, of California, who had present
ed the plumes in honor of Ohio's choice,
made her appearance on the floor, wav
ing one of them and another uncontrol
lable outbreak of temporary insanity
occurred. During the Interval of con
fusion a three-quarters face, life-size
sculptored bust of Mr. MeKlnley was
presented to Mr. Foraker by the Re
publican clfio of the University of Chi
cago. Tin portrait was a mahogany
frame, decorated with red, white and
blue rilibrns and with a bow of the ma
roon colored ribbons forming the colors
of the university. The portrait was the
work of Mr. Harris Hirsch and was
presented by Dr. L. H. Montgomery, of
Chicago, with a letter signed by Mr. H.
L. Icl'es, president of the club. It was
arfepted by Senator-elect Foraker in
dumb how.
When Mr. Foraker, after nn enthus
iastic demonstration which lasted over
ten minutes, resumed his speech, his
words seemed to have lost much of their
lire and fervor because they came In
such close contact with the unbounded
exuberance of the convention.
For some time he could not secure a
healing. He spoke of the grent cham
pions of Republicanism in the past
eulogizing Mr. Bluine particularly and
continued:
"Hut greatcFt of all, measured by
present requirements, the eader of the
house of representatives Is the author
of the MeKlnley bill, which gave to
labor Its richest rewards. No other
name completely meets the require
ments of the occasion, and no other
name so absolutely commands all
hearts. The shafts of envy and malice
and slander and libel and detraction
that have been aimed at him lie broken
and harmless at his feet. The quiver
Is empty and he Is untouched. That is
because the people know him. trust him
believe in him, love him and will not
permit any human power to disparage
him unjustly in their estimation.
AMERICAN OF AMERICANISTS.
"They knowthat he is an American of
Americanists. They know that he is
Just and able and brave; and they want
him for president of the United Sates.
(Applause.)
"They have already shown It, not in
this or that state nor In this or that sec
tion, butTn all the states and in all the
sections from ocean to ocean and from
the gulf to the lakes. They expect of
you to give them a chance vote for him.
It is our duty to do it. If we discharge
that duty we will give Joy to their
hearts, enthusiasm to their souls and
triumphant victory to our cause. (Ap
plause.) And he, In turn, will give us
an administration under which the
country will enter upon a new era of
prosperity at home and of glory and
honor abroad. By all these tokens of
the political and all these promises of
the future, In the name of the forty-six
delegates of Ohio, I .submit his claim to
your consideration." (More applause.)
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, was
recognized by Temporary Chairman
Hepburn and seconded the nomination
of MeKlnley.
ENTHUSIASM OVER QUAY.
At the close of Mr. Thurston's effec
tive speech cries of vote were raised,
Interspersed with cries for "Quay."
In the midst of this, Governor Hast
ings took the stand and placed in nomi
nation the name of Matthew Stanley
Quay.
Governor Hastings was listened to
with attention, notwithsandlng that the
sun for an hour or two had been stream
ing unobstructed through the windows
of the hall and beating on the heads of
the delegates and the convention had
been In continuous session, over six
hours. There was quite a formidable
demonstration of applause for Quay at
the close of Governor Hastlng's speech,
but it was participated In by only a
small portion of the convention and
was maintained with difficulty, though
with much noise and amid counter
demonstrations almost as numerous.
As It waB dying away the rythtnattc
cry of "Quay, Quay, Matt S. Quay,"
accompanied by stamping of feet, set
it going again, Increasing in volume,
delegates began to pelt each other with
rolled-up newspapers,' Cries of "Vote,
vote," were started In f ythm to beat
down the similar shouts of Quay. The
chair rapped in vain for some time, but
st last quiet was restored and the call
of states was resumed and J. Madison
Vance, of Louisiana, a co'.orei delegate,
was recognized to second MeKlnley.
At the close of his brief remarks the
chairman announced that the call of
states being completed the order called
for balloting for a nominee for presi
dent of the Fnlted States.
Amid a hush tha call of states was
begun and Alabama led off with one for
Morton and nineteen for MeKlnley.
Arkansas and California cast their solid
votes for MeKlnley. Connecticut cast
flv? voies for Reed and seven for Me
Klnley, Delaware a solid vote for Me
Klnley; Florida eight for MeKlnley;
Georgia two Reed, two Quay and twenty-two
MeKlnley.
One of the colored delegations from
INTERIOR VIEW OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION HALL.
Florida protests Insisted on challenging
the vote. The delegation being polled,
It was found that Morton had two votes
in Florida and MeKlnley only six in
stead of eight as announced by the
chairman. A colored delegate from
Alabama here followed with a challenge
of the vote of that state which resulted
in showing that Instead of casting a
solid vote for MeKlnley, the vote should
have shown one vote for Morton, two for
Reed and MeKlnley nineteen.
Illinois voted forty-six MeKlnley and
two Reed. Indiana cast Its thirty votes
for MeKlnley. Iowa, amid a Blight
demonstration of applause cast Its twenty-six
votes for Allison; Kansas, twen
ty for MeKlnley; Kentucky twenty-six
for MeKlnley, Loulsana cast a cur
ious vote: Half vote Reed, half vote
Quay, half vote Blank and eleven for
MeKlnley, so the voting went on with
out further incident until Massachu
setts gave one vote for McKinley and
the rest for Reed. The MeKlnley col
umn steadily increased. When Mississ
ippi cast eighteen for MeKlnley another
of the colored delegates demanded a
poll which showed one vote for Quay
and seventeen for MeKlnley. Montana
enst one vote for MeKlnley, one for Don
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, one blank
and one absentee. The chair called the
name of Mr. Hartman's alternate and
he voted blank.
NEW YORK CHALLENGED.
There was n decided Bensation when
the vote of New York was challenged
by Warner Miller. It had been an
nounced as 54 for Morton and 17 for
MeKlnley. John H. Newlns was ab
sent in the first district and the name
of his alternate called. Mr. Gruber
raised a laugh by saying, "He's Just
leaving the room to avoid voting."
The next alternate was called and
voted solidly for Morton till the half
JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER,
V Who Nomlaattd Major AlcKlnUy. ,
votes were reached when the halves di
vided equally between MvKlnley and
Morton. Then came quite a number of
breaks for MeKlnley and three absen
tees were voted In the 29th district. John
F. Parkhurst and both the alternates,
Charles M. Woodward and Charles T.
Andrews, The poll resulted In show
ing the vote to be exactly as announced:
Morton M; MeKlnley 17.
When Ohio was reached the requisite
number of votes were given to nominate
MeKlnley and the convention recognis
ing the fact without announcement,
broke Into cheers. Texas votes 21 Me
Klnley; 5 Reed; S Allison, and one ab
sent. Pennsylvania voted MeKlnley 6; Quay
58. Virginia voted Reed 1. MeKlnley 23.
All the rest of the roll of states went
solid for MeKlnley. When the tem -,
toiies were reached New Mexico' cast
one vote for Allison and five for Me
Klnley. Alaska wound up the roll by
casting Its newly conferred four votes
for MeKlnley. The absent delegate
from New York, Mr. Parkhurst. here
appeared and by unanimous consent
cast his vote for Morton, making the
total vote: Morton 55; MeKlnley 17.
SCENE OF EXCITEMENT.
All of the states having been called,
the president stated before the an
nouncement of the result that applica
tion had been made on him for recog
nition by representatives of the de
feated candidates to make a coftaln
motion. He believed it would be the
fairest way to recognize them In the
order in which the nominations had
been made. He then announced that
William MeKlnley had received 661
votes, and the scene of an hour before
wad repeated. Delegates and specta
tors arose and cheered and waved flags
and banners and the pampas plumes
of California; the band struck up "My
Country, 'Tis of Thee" and cheers and
hurrahs rent he air. There was not a
single one of the 15,000 or 16,000 people
In the great hall who did not do his or
her best to swell the sounds of Jubilee
and to Join in the grand popular dem
onstration in favor of the successful
canilklate. The women were as en
thusiastic as the men. It seemed as If
no one would be seated again and as If
orderly proceedings would never more
be attempted. One young man on the
platform waved on the point of the na
tional banner a cocked hat such as the
conqueror of Marengo is represented
as wearing. This symbol of victory
added, if possible, to the enthusiasm
and the noise was swelled by the boom
ing of artillery outside.
At last the president got a chance to
continue the announcement of the vote.
Thomas B. Reed, he said, had received
84 votes: Senator Quay n; Levi P.
Morton 58; Senator Allison S5Vi and
Don Cameron 1.
REED MEN IN LINE.
Senator Lodgo rising In his delegation
and standing upon his chair, said: "Mr.
Chairman, the friends of Mr. Reed have
followed him, with the same loyalty
which he has always shown himself to
country and principle and party. That
loyalty, they now transfer to ths soldier,
the patriot, the Amerlcon whom you
have nominated here today and on be
half rf my own state and I believe of all
the other New England states that sup
ported Mr. Reed we pledge a great ma
jority in our own states, and our assis
tance in other states and all the help we
can render for William
MeKlnley.
(Cheers.)
"I move you. sir. that the nomination
of William MeKlnley be made unani
mous. (Cheers.)
Mr. Hasting, of Pennsylvania, who
had nominated Senator Quay seconded
the motion to make MeKinley's nomina
tion unanimous. Pennsylvania, he said,
with the loyalty which always distin
guished her, would become the cham
ion of the champion of protection to
American Industry William- MeKlnley
and would welcome the issu? of Amer
ican protection, American credit, Amer
ican policy and give to William Me
Klnley the largest majority that she
had ever given to a Republican candi
date. (Cheers.)
Mr. Thomas Piatt on behalf of the
state of New York, olso seconded the
motion to make William MeKinley's
.nomination unanimous and declared
that New York would give its usual (if
not double Its usual) majority for the
Republican candidate.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, and J. Madi
son Vance, of Louisiana, also seconded
the motion. Mr. Depew being called
upon, made a characteristically good
natured speech and was given an ova
tion. When he concluded there was a
roar for Mark Hanna. Mr. Hanna
stepped upon a chair, but his few words
were Inaudible except to those close to
hiin. He pledged himself to take his
place in the ranks and work for the
election of MeKlnley.
MADE UNANIMOUS.
The chair put the question: "Shall
the nomination be made unanimous,
and by a rising vote It was so ordered
and then announced that Mr. William
MeKlnley, of Ohio, was the candidate of
the Republican purty for president of
the United States.
When the applause which greeted this
announcement subsided, Senator Loiige
moved to proceed to the election of
vice-president and that the nominating
(speeches be limited to five minutes
Notwithstanding mnny expressions of
dissent and cries to adourn till morn
ing, It was declared carried and at 6.20
p. m. the convention having been In
continuous session nearly eight hour3
and a half, the roll of states was called
for nomination for vice-president.
When Connecticut was reached, Mr
Fesenden took the stand and nominated
ex-Governor Morgan O. Bulkeley vice
president. Judge John Franklin Fort
of New Jersey, placed in nomination
Hon. Garret A. Hobart.
Mr. Humphrey, of Illinois, briefly
seconded the nomination of Mr. Hobart
In the name of Illinois.
The roll call of the states was re
sumed and New York made no nomina
tion. When the state of Rhode Island
was called Mr. Allen came to the stand
and nominated for the vice president
Charles Warren Llppltt. When the
state of Tennessee was called Mr. Ran
dolph, a delegate from that state, nomi
nated for the presidency Henry Clay

of Mr. Evans was seconded by Mr.
Smith, of Kentucky, a colored delegate.
Mr. I. C. Walker (colored), of Vir
ginia, put in nomination his fellow dele
gate, James A. Walker.
The balloting for vice president then
began. The call had only proceeded as
far as South Dakota when It became
evident that Hobnrt had been nominat
ed on the first ballot and the delegates
and the crowd In the galleries began
to leave the building.
Resolutions were offered and agreed
to appointing the chairman, Mr. Thurs
ton, and the temporary chairman, Mr.
Fairbanks, chairmen respectively of the
two committees to notify the nominees
for president and vice president.
Resolutions of thanks were also of

MONTROSE REJOICES.
Fork-Tongued Flames of Numerous
Bonfires Leaped Last Night.
Special to The Tribune.
Montrose could not contain Itself to
night when the news of MeKinley's
nomination became known. Bonfires
galore and a general demonstration
showed that every one was Interested

WHIPPING HIS WEIGHT.
The Champion Logger Overestimated
His Fistic Ability.
In the logging camps of Michigan
might makes right and the man who
has whipped all comers in fair fight Is
king of his camp.
One of these was very boastful of his
exploits. He had been the victor in a
dozen fights and no one cared to enter
the lists with him, but every man In
the camp hated the champion. Going
Into a saloon one day he announced:
"I'm tired of these babies In camp. I
ain't had a good fight In Michigan. I
can whip my weight In dogs, wildcats
or anything that breathes for $100."
A meek-looking men took the bet and
arrangements for the fight were made.
It waa to take place in a closed room
one week from the time the bet waa
made.
The day came and the champion
called: "Bring on your anlmlle." The
man who had bet against the king of
the camp brought his antagonist in a
large sack, which had been deposited
behind the stove In the saloon where th
match had been entered Into, the
weather Just beginning to get cold. Tho
gladiator entered the room, the sack
was empTTed and the people crowded at
the window to see the contest. Out of
the sack came three large hornet nests,
the occupants of which had been re
vived by the heat.
They Issued from the nest In swarms
and lit all over the man. He fought
them for a minute or two, then, with a
yell, Jumped through the window, car
rying sash and glass wlthhlm, never
stopping until he reached the river, Into
which he Jumped.
''Said he could whip his weight In
anything that breathed," remarked the
meek little man, as he pocketed the
stakes, "but about five pounds of hor
nets knocked him out In the first
round." Washington Star.
NOT BOLTING.
"Bolt, sir?" said the statesman, turning
and glancing at the Interviewer: "did I
understand you to ask me whether I In
tend to bolt?"
"That was the question. I thought per- I
haps you might feel that you had not
been well treated."
"However that may be, I shall not bolt.
I shall stay Inside the party, where I caa
make trouble." Washington Star,
THE NEW CA8ABIAXCA.
Tom Piatt Btood on the burning deck,
When all his gang had fled;
The waves that washed the battered wreck
Rolled high above his head.
Tet, grim and sullen, there he stood,
Out in the awful storm;
His face looked like a chunk ot wood
Upon a "dummy's" form.
The waves rolled on, he would not go.
Because he couldn't swim.
And there was not a man bilow
To throw a line to him.
He called aloud: "Say, fellers, say,
Must I go down alone?"
Then came those mocking words frost
QcTay:
"I've troubles of my own."
"Speak, fellers," once again' he cr4
"Will no one sink with me?"
The people, as one man, replied:
"Go call on Tammany I"
The wild wind took away his breath,
And tossed his rumpled hair;
To stay he knew was certain death.
His warning had been fair.
Then yet again his voice he foundl
"Oh Clarkson, where Is he?
Will no one stay here and be drowned
Will no one bolt with me?"
The waves rolled o'er the ancient raft.
And tossed its stern on high;
Yet Piatt stuck to the creaking craft,
Determined there to diet
There rame a boom like thunder sound,
And Piatt oh, where was he?
Ask of the winds that strewed the ground
With parts of Saint Loo-eel
