THE TICKET MADE UP McKihleyforPresident, Roose velt for Vice-President. BOTH NOMINATIONS UNANIMOUS The Speeches of tke Day "Were by Foralcer, Depe-iv and tlie Em pire State Governor. PHILADELPHIA, Juno 2L President McKlnley was unanimously renominated for President of the United States by tho Republican "National Convention at l:tS o'clock today, and an hour and 10 min utes later Governor Roosevelt, of New York, -was unanimously selected to stand beside him in the coming' battle. Such unanimous demonstrations in hon or of -the nominees of .a National conven tion have never before been equaled per haps in the history of politics in this coun try. It was a love feast, a Jubilee, a rat ification meeting. There was a fine setting for today's speotacular drama. Bright peonies at either end of the stage made two flam ing bits of color. Throughout the vast multitude fans moved ceaselessly to and fro like the wings of a crowd of alarmed gulls beating the air. There were no preliminaries. Tho wrangle expected over the question of reducing the representa tion in the South was averted by the with drawal of ex-Senator Quay's proposition. The great hall became quiet as Senator Lodge, standing before 15,000 eager faces, gavel in hand, announced that nomina tions for President of the United States were in order. The reading clerk ad vanced to the front of tho platform. He was about to call the Toll of states for tho presentation of candidates. "Whoa Alabama was called, a thin, red whiskered delegate from tat state arose and surrendered the first right to speak to Ohio. A flutter of handkerchiefs filled the air, and cheer after cheer went up from the delegates In tho pit. as Senator For akcr, of Ohio, strode toward the platform. The air was surcharged with electricity as ho mounted the steps, and when he turned about, standing there with gray eyes calmly sweeping the cheering thousands, the magnetic orator must have been con scious, of his power to coll up a storm that would sweep through the amphithe ater. Below him on cither side wro banked men and women almost fran tically waving hats, handkerchiefs and pamphlets and plumea In full view of the convention ho stood erect, his foco as inflexible as though chLeled In marble, waiting for the applause to cease. "When quiet was restored he began to speak. It was not yet noon, but the sun was blazing through the roof, shooting darts and ar rows Into all parts of the balL Senator Forcker'i Speech. With resonant, ringing voice and grace- ful gesture. Foraker stilled the noise. Even the pages and' attendants crouched down as they gazed at the orator. He began to call up the hurricane from tho start. "Whepever be raised hs arms aloft, tho 'whistling- of the gallery ran round' tHe half. ' When ha said the nomi nation had already been made, that "Wol cott and Lodge and the platform had each in turn named his candidate, a great cheer went up, "When he said his candidate was the choice of every man who desired Re publican success In November, the roar was like the rush of a heavy sea through a rocky cavern. The orator was silenced by his own words. Then he began again, speaking as few men can. His audience was thrilled. They sat like men under a spell. Ho dropped a word here, a word there, like sparks upon a sun-dried stubble, and when he concluded by placing McKlnley in nomination, not on behalf of Ohio, but of all the states and territories, a olap of thunder shook the building. Below him, all -about him. were deafening roars. The previous whistlings of the storm were but the rustle of a Summer night's breeze. For a momen$ the magician leaned over the platform as If to satisfy himself that his work was accomplished. Then, see ing the effort had been succesfsuL he re tired to the rear of the stage. "The sight was a grand and inspiring one. In the pit tha delegates and alternates were cheering enthusiastically. Over the acres of spectators bedlam reigned. The hall was an angry sea of tossing color. Flags, and. red, white and blue "plumes shot up as If by magic to the crest of tho wave. Hats were lifted aloft on canes. Umbrellas were hoisted and twisted un til they resembled whirling dervishes. Qn the press platform the newspaper men, with watches out. were counting the min utes. On the stage Senator Hanna. his handkerchief !n nno honri a fan i' th S --. ... . . ciner. was spurring' tne vast assemblage to new endeavors. The raging storm did not seem to satisfy him. lie seized a plume and whirled it about his head llko a General leading his men to the charge. All at once a delegate, bearing the standard of Kentucky, nwhed forward to thftptnirp. ThAofriviKtTnn'rii Rt.n. ards of the states were torn loose, and m j-i ... -t,.j .., ... yc!l.nr delegates climbed upon the plat form to rally around their leader. "With state guidons pointed to a common center they made a canopy over the head of tho "Warwick of the Republican party. Ohio Interlocked her staff with New York; Maine figuratively kissed her hand to Cal ifornia, and Minnesota ealutcd- Kansas. Then, higher still, climbed Hanna. He mounted a table where ho could look out upon the cheering multitude. Beside him suddenly appeared a young girl arrayed In the National colors. At this eight tho cheers redoubled. The music of the or chestra was drowned In the awful din. Tne demonstration had now continued with scarcely a lull for 10 minutes. Chair man Lodge began to tap for craer, but tho ring of his gavel was of no avail. A Tex as dclegato shouted above the roar: "Three cheers for Mark Hanna!" They were given with a wilL Then a delegate, with Ohio's standard In his hand, dove down into the main aisle and went careening toward the rear to the music of "John Brown's Body Lies Moldering In the Grave." Tho bearers of the standards of the other states plunged after him. Down the aisle they swung, starting tho whole storm afresh. "When they reached the main entrance they were met by men holding aloft a gigantic papier-mache elephant with the National colors twined about "Ms neck. Then tho procession came back and circled the pit. For several minutes this parade continurd. The demonstration, all toM. lasted ex actly IS minutes. In length of time It does not compare w?t4i the prolonged cheer which went up for Grant in 1SS0 or for Blaine in 1SSS or for McKlnley in 1SS6. It is also surpassed in length of time by demonstrations at Democratic conven tions. 'When Roosevelt Appeared. This protracted outburst was but tha forerunner of the pandemonium that reigned a moment later when RooseveJt, the man of the hour, mounted the plat form to second the President's nomina- r tlon. "When the convention caught sight. of nim it went off again lUte a pocket. Asi lie stood there fadnir tho yelttngr multl- --' ,-.. -.-. , 4 j tude, the rOar could have been heard for blocks. Hanna smiled blandly as a dar ing photographer set up a rapid-fire cam era directly In front of tho hero of San Juan and began tanging away at him. But Te3dy did not flinch. Ho looked about him while he waited for the storm to subside. Several times he raised his hand, bat the cheering continued. His stern, square Jaw was firmly set as he surveyed the scene. Only once did his face relax. That was when he caught sight of his wife, who eat in- the reserved scats overhanging the pit on his right. Then he smiled tlii. his teeth showed, and Mrs. Roosevelt fluttered "back her hand kerchief. "When Anally he was allowed to begin he plunged directly to the heart of his subject in the impetuous -way which the people, so much admire. His first state ment "was that he roea to' second the nomination of "William McKlnley, who had faced more problems than any Presi dent since Lincoln. The convention got on Its feet, and It was several minutes before he could proceed. Every movement and every word was characteristic of the man. He looked. spoke and acted like orw giving direc tions to an army about to go Into ba.tle. And nothing would content him but o storm the heights as he did at Santiago. Roosevelt is no master of the foil. He prefers the broadwword, and as he laid about him, with sledgehammer blows, tho multitude went wdd with delight. A Ne "taaska delegate shouted: "Hit 'em again." He had tho manuscr.pt of hp speech In his hand, and roferred to It oc casionally, discording page after page as be finished until the platform aj his feet was strewn with white sheets. When ho reached bis peroration, arid with a world of infinite ecorn in his voice, asked if America was a weakling to shrink from the world twork of the orld powers, the while pit echoed "No," in chorus. "When he concluded and resumed bis scat in tho New York delegation, the other delegates rushed forjrai'd and surrounded him. Many embraced him, and it seemed for a moment as if they would lift him to their shoulders. Senator Thurston. John "W. Yerkos, an orator from the Blus Grass State, and Governor Mount, of Indiana, also sec onded McKlnIeys nomination, but before the latter concuded the convention was impatient for a vote, and several times tried to howl him. down. Colling the Iloll. Then tho roll of states was called, and delegation after delegation rose In solid blocks and cast their votes for McKlnley. "Wflen Chairman Lodge made the an nouncement that the President had been renominated for the term beginning March 4, 1901. there was the same wild storm, which had been raised by Foraker, and when it Was over Roosevelt's nomina tion for the Vice-Presidency evoked a succession of similar demonstrations. Lafe Young, who was with Roosevelt In Cuba, nominated him on behalf of the state which had orlglnaly came to Phila delphia for Dolllver. His nomination was seconded by Delegate Murray, of Secre tary Long's state, and Delegate Ashton, of "Washington, who come here for Bart- lett Tripp. Chauncey Depcw wound up tho oratory on behalf of the state which declared for "Woodruff. Depew's speech aroused the most intense enthusiasm when ho pictured the dazzling dreams of the country's future. During every pause, the band payed but one air, the tuno which. Colonel Roosevelt had heard irr the trt nches before Santiago. At "&14 o'clock tho convention, which, had done the unparalleled thing of nomi nating both the candidates for President and Vice-President unanimously., ad journed. Govr rnor Roosevelt drove from tho con tlon haM with Mr. Odell, seated In tho rear of an open landau. He lifted his broad-brimmed hat to the continuous .'4 vos that greeted him as he passed through tho densely packed street, like a conquer ing hero fresh from new victories. To night the faces of McKlnley and Roose velt nre on all the badges; and their names are on every Cip. THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Speeches Nominating: McKlnley and Roosevelt. CONVENTION HALL, Philadelphia, June 21. This was the great day, and long before 10 o'clock, the hour for the reassembling of the convention, tho hall was surrounded by an immense army of people, who besieged all the doors and entrances, clamoring for admission. When the doors were opened they surged in like a flood, submerging the vast hall The stage had been freshened with green thing3, and at each corner, like a touch of naming color, red peonies shot into the air. The band In the north gallery was at work early with inspiring music It was much warmer today. The sun blazed down through the spaces in the roof, and the heat gave promise of be ing oppressive. But the ladles, were at tired in their thinnest muslins, every body was -provided with a fan, and there as no comp alnt. One old .fellow In Viv oIIai? wll K .n i im tho gallery, with charming disregard of the proprieties, divested himself of coat and vest, hung them over the rail, and took his scat. Three minutes before 10, the Kanras delegation, headed by Colonel Burton, n, ongntsiiK suimowers pmnea to ineir 'lapeln. aiouscd the first enthusiasm as F.f dIn tho 'V1,?6; bCv.r" Ing a white banner. Inscribed In b'a black letters the words: "Kansas Is for Roosevelt." As the delegates debouched Into the pit the utmost good nature, was manifest. The contest was over. It was to be a love feast, a Jubilee, and not a contest which the day was to witness. Governor Roosevelt entered at exactly 10 o'clock. He made a rush of It today, but dfd not escape the keen eye of tha thousands, and they set up a cheer at sight of him. He was surrounded by the delegates when he reached the pit and Bhowered with congratulations. He mads no protestations or dissent, but smilingly repeated his thanks. One gray-halre-l del egate put his arms around th- Governor and whispered In his ear. All states were represented In the welcome, with Kan sas, the Indomitable Roosevelt pioneer, leading the demonstration. A few minutes later, another outburst greeted the entrance of Senator Hanna. His progress was impeded all the way down the aisle by delegates who Insisted upon shaking his hand. He stopped a moment to chat with Senator Davis, and when ho reached the standard of the New York delegation, where RooEevelt was holding a reception, he rushed through tho crowd and greeted the Rough Rider warmly, even affectionately. "With his hand upon Roosevelt's shoulder, he whispered In, his ear. For two mjnutes they remained thus In close communica tion. Dopew created n stir a little later, but It was Matthew Quay who aroused the snouts of the local crowd. Henry Cabot Lodge, the permanent chairman, re3cncd the stage at 10:15, 'and there was an in teresting ronferncc of the leaders In full view of the vast audience.
