6 HANNA'S RABBIT FOOT. Continued from First Page. and whispered. Then Senator Thurston broke up the hugging. Sitting together on the platform was a group of distinguished guests from the diplomatic corps at Washington, includ ing the first secretaries of the British ambassy. Mr. Gerald Low?her. and of the Spanish legation, Senor Don Riano. Kansas has seats immediately across the aisie from New York, to the left, and when Roosevelt came in the Kansas dele gates gave him a special reception. One enthusiastic Kansan grabbed the Gov ernor by the arm and pulled him across the aisle. The long gallery was now packed with humanity, and the floor, from wall to wall was a living sea of people. There was that indescribable hum of myriads of voices which is only heard at the gather ing of thousands of people. Before. Chair man Hanna on the desk was a heavy plank, about a foot square, and on this lay his gavel. The gavel was unique. It consisted of a heavy square oak piece filled with a handle, und looked more like a maul than a gavel for a presiding offi cer. Senator Hanna seemed in no hurry to call the convention to order. Attired in n sack suit with a white vest, he sat chatting with those about him. his broad face beaming, his eye meantime roving over the convention. Convention Cnllel to Order. At 12:30 the ljnd broke into the stirring strains of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Gov. Roosevelt was first on his feet in response to the national anthem. His Rough Rider bet came off. and he stood with head uncovered. Instantly, the w’hole convention rose en masse. Ten thousand people stood while the stirring oir was played, and npplnuded it with a cheer as they took their seats. Senator Hanna remained standing. He ■lifted the ungainly gavel and brought it down with a sounding whack. Instantly all eyes were riveted upon him. and wave of applause swept the hall. Chairman Hanna faced the storm of ap plause with a resolute face. His stern features di 1 not relax, but he nodded an acknowledment as the applause broke here, and there into a cheer . When it had subsided, he brought down the gavel again. “The convention will come to order,” ■ he shouted at exactly 12:35. “The convention will bo opened with prayer.’’ he continued, “by the Rev. J. Gray Bolton of the Hope Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia Chairman Hanna remained standing with bowed head while the divine came forward In the black robes of his office j to deliver his invocation. But the dele gates in the pit remained seated and only here and there did one of the specta'ors rise. All, however, bowed their heads reverently while Rev. Bolton read his prayer from small slips of paper which he held in the hollow of his hand. i'n II for flip Con volition. As the prayer closed. Senator Hanna was again on his feet, and adjusting his eye glasses, said in a resonant voice: “The secretary of the National Commit tee will now read the call for the conven tion.” As Col. Dick stepped forward, call in hand, he was given a ripple of applause. He read the formal call, while (ho vast assemblage fretted for the more vital jko ceedings. Again Mr. Hanna was the cen ter of attention. He left the presiding officer’s table and, stepping to the front of the platform, surveyed the sea of faces and in a clear voice began his speech of welcome. “In bidding you welcome,” he began, “I also wish to congratulate you on the magnificent representation from the Re publican party.” There was a round of applause as Mr. Hanna, rolled out the words “Republican party.” There was no mistake in bringing the convention to Philadelphia, Mr. Hanna went on to say. Here was the cradle of Liberty; the birthplace of the republic; here also had the Republican party seen its birth, and here, too. was the center of that gre.it throbbing idea, the protection of American industry. Mgnnl for Great Applnnse. Another wave of applause swept over the convention at this mention of the protection principle and as it subsided Mr. Hanna proceeded: “We are on the eve of another great struggle. Already we are beginning to form our battalions, under the leader ship of our great statesman —Gen. Wil liam McKinley.” That was the signal, and for the first time the convention broke forth in a whirlwind of enthusiasm. Men and wo men sprang to their feet, delegates, spec tators. staid and distinguished guests, all animated by a common purpose to do honor to the President. Senator' Hanna looked down in smiling satisfaction at the tempestuous demonstration. Flags and handkerchiefs waved everywhere in bil low of color. For ten seconds, twenty, thirty, a minute, the demonstration kept up, and then, with a wove of the hand, the national chairman hid the assem blage resume their seats and let him pro ceed. , ”1 was about to give the order for those battalions to move, but you interrupted me,”, said Mr. Hanna, jocularly, and the applause was turned to laughter. Again Mr. Hanna evoked a demonstration, when, speaking of the approaching campaign, he declared: “And with such a leader and such a cause, there is no such word as fail.” Senator Wolcott Selected. As Mr. Hanna closed his speech with a tribute to his colleagues on the National Committee, and . reference to the close of his chairmanship, he spoke of the sterl ing service of the Senator from Colorado. Mr. Wolcott, to his party, nnd presented him to the convention as temporary chair man. Senator Fairbanks, from the first row-of delegates, orose and moved that Senator Wolcott’s selection be approved, and with unanimous voice the delegates so voted. Senator Wolcott, who was on the plat form. arose and came forward. His ap pearance set the convention off like a rocket. Senator Wolcott is still a young man, somewhat jaunty in appearance. He wore a blue sack suit und white vest. There was elasticity In his step as he bowed low to the convention, and there was something about him which suggested the freshness of his mountain home. With a pleasant ix>w of acknowledgement to Chairman Hanna, he turned and address ed the convention. Senator Wolcott** Speech. The following are extracts from Senator Wolcott's speech: “The first and pleasant duty of this gnat convention, ns well as i:s instinctive impulse, is to send a message of affec tionate greeting to our lender and our country’s President. William McKinley. In ail that pertains to our welfare in times of peace, his genius has directed us. He has shown an unerring mastery of the economic problems which confront us end ha> guided us out of the slough of financial disaster, impaired credit and commercial stagnation, up to the high end safe ground of national prosperity and financial stability. Through the delicate and trying events of the late war he stood firm, courageous and conservative, • iid under his leadcrsh p we have cm rged triumphant, our national honor un tarnish- ed. our credit una.walled. and the equal devotion of < very section of our common country to th< welfare of the republic ce fcmentori f, ' r ' r. Never in the memory of generation tins there stetot at [he IF 16 *" 1 " f •!>. government a truer pa wtr|..t, ~ vlsirn; more courageous leader, or a beitei example of the highest tvpe of American manhood The victories o peace and the victories of war are alike Inscribed upon his banner. Those or us whose pleasure and whose du y have call ed u from time to time In o his presence, know liow freely he bus spent and he spent in his country's service; but the same vigorous manhood end clear and pa triotic vision animate him as of old, and give ns confidence and no distrust for the future of our republic, because his hands will guide us, and his genius direct." Faced Great mitten llles. Alter referring to the stale of the coun- try during the administration of Presi dent Cleveland, Mr. Wolcott said: “Four years of commercial misfortune enabled our -industries to meet, in a meas ure, these changed and depressed condi tions, but when President McKinley was inaugurated the country was in a state more deplorable than had existed for a generation. “Facing these difficulties, the President immediately upon his inauguration, con vened Congress in extra session, and in u message of force and lucidity, summa rized the legislation essential to our na tional prosperity. The industrial history of the United States for the past four years the tribute to the wisdom of his judgment When Mr. Wolcott had given what he called a “brief account of our steward ship for four years,” he said: “During a portion of that period we were involved in a war that for a time paralyzed business and commerce, and would have taxed heavily the resources and credit of any other country than ours; and for the past year or more we have been employing an army of some 50,000 men in suppressing an insurrection against our authority 8,000 miles away. No industry has fell the strain of these ex traordinary expenses, nor have they af fected the general sum of our prosperity. More than that, the conditions resulting from the legislation of the past four years have obliterated every issue that was raised during the last campaign. The democracy, having therefore to find some rallying cry, seek it in the results of our late war with Spain, and upon that ques tion. as upon all others, we stand ready to meet them in the open.” Policy In the Philippines. Speaking of the administration’s policy In the Philippines, Mr. Wolcott said: “Any agreement by our commissioners to give hack the Philippines to Spain, re serving for ourselves an island or a coal ing station, would have aroused a uni versal national indignation, and would never have been rail lied by the represen tatives of the people. No man saw’ this so clearly as did the President. In his advices to the Commissioners he told them it was imperative that we should he governed only by motives that should ex alt the nation; that territorial expansion was our least concern, but that, whatever else was done, the people of the Philip pines must be liberated from Spanish domination, and he r ached this view sole ly through considerations of duty and hu manity. The American commissioners, men of differing political faiths, reached a unanimous conclusion. The Treaty of Paris was ratified by the vote of tw ro thirds of the Senate, and tho territory we acquired under ii became lawful ami legal possessions of the United States. The responsibility for the war rested upon us all; the responsibility for the treaty reels chiefly upon the Republican party, and that party avows the wisdom of the treaty and declares it to be the policy of the party to adhere to its terms and to ac cept the responsibilities it imposed.” With regard to the administration’s pol icy in Porto Rico, he said: “The recommendations of the President were fully and satisfactorily complied with; ihe people of the islands are con tent, the vast mass of the American peo ple approve, and we have avoided prece dents that might vex us when we come to deal with the problems that finally await us in the establishment of our per manent relations towards people of the Philippine Islands. “There has been much discussion during the past few months In respect to the ex tent of the power of this country to deal with Porto Rico and our other possess ions, and it has been frequently contend ed by the Democracy that as soon as we beck me the owners of any* of these isl ands the constitution of the United States at once extended over them, or in the oratorical but misleading phrase, “The constitution follows the flag." The argu ment is specious, but it will not be-ar in vestigation. The same question was rais ed in 1808, at the time of the Louisiana purchase, and the doctrine then establish ed by Congress that we could acquire for eign soil by purchase, that Congress had the right to establish there such a govern ment as it saw’ fit, and that the constitu tion did not of its own force extend over such territory. The doctrine was never questioned until in Calhoun’s time it was thought to bo denied in the effort to extend human slavery into the territories.” Our Dealings With Cuba. As to Cuba. Mr. Wolcott said this amonV other things: “We are dealing with Cuba In- a spirit not only of fairness, but of generosity, an l of absolute unselfishness, and whenever the inhabitants of that island evince and declare their ability to take over its gov ernment and control, that day they shall receive it; and until then we shall con tinue to administer its affairs under a rule salutary and satisfactory to all good citizens in Cuba, and creditable to the administration at Washington, under whose orders the government is con ducted.” Reverting to the Philippines, Mr. Wol cott said: “We are told that the Islands are rich in till the products of the tropics, in min eral wealth, and in the possibilities of their future development. So much the better. But if they were as barren as (he Libyan desert, we would have taken them just the same. “We haven’t been there long, but long enough to reach two conclusions: One is, that the first thing we intend doing is to suppress the Tagal insurrection and to establish law and order throughout the archipelago. That Is the first thing we shall do. And the last, the very last thing we. Intend doing. Is to consider, even for a moment, the question of giving up or of abandoning these islands. “We are actually owners of the Philip pines by an undisputed and indubitable title. We ore there as the necessary and logical outcome of our victory over Spain.” Wns n Keynote Speech. Senator Wolcott has a clear, resonant voice, which penetrated to the furthest recesses of the hall. He speaks, however, with groat rapidity and this, perhaps, somewhat spoiled the effect of his speech. But the thousands before him were in sympathy with him, and he had no Gift!- culty in striking a responsive chord. When, with outstretched arms, he pre dicted the triumphant election of the Republican ticket in November, tho au dience surrendered, and when he first mentioned President McKinl- v’s name h' could not proceed for a minute, owing to the demonstration. As he rehearsed the history of the four years of Republican administration, the prosperity’ which ha 1 biassed it, the victories it had won, the glorious outcome of the Spanish-American war. the campaign of misrepresentation in connection with the Philippines, which its enemies had inaugurated, arid which it had met, the convention repeatedly broke into applause. it was n keynote speech, covering the legislation which had been placed on the statute books and Us deepest note was the financial prosperity of the country and the legislation which had made its continuation possible, If the present ad ministration were continued In pow r That was the theme to which the deny lu strations of the convention clung When he said that the old Issue of the Demo crats was dead and that they were driven to find new Issues In n war which they had been most anxious to preclpliate. the convention rose at him, hut .he outburst was even greater when he de Tired >hat the division among the Republicans of the East and West on Ihe financial issue was a thing of the part and that th.> o who hod left the party four years qto in the West were returning on the lsstue of expansion. Given brent Applause. The first mention of expansion tins also the signal for a demonstration.

The Indiana delegation led the applause when .Senator Wolcott announci.i that the thieving poslofflce ntllriuls in Tuba would lie hunted down. Probably the greatest demonstration occurred when he said that we would establish law and order in the Philippines and that the last thing to he considered was to give up the islands. The delegates got on their feet and cheered wi.cn he declared that our sol diers were buried in the sands of T.uzon und we would never give up the toll that held our dead. He spoke an hour and ten minutes, and as his brilliant perora'ion closed there was another enthusiastic demonstration of ap proval, delegates standing on chairs and waving hats. fans, umbrellas and hand kerchiefs, while at the same time the band added the enlivening strains of a patriotic air. Mr. Wolcott received many handshakes from those about him. and then turned to the business of the convention, announcing the long list of secretaries and officials agreed upon. Taylor of Kentucky. There was a momentary lull and then Mr. Wolcott, gazing out at the assem blage. said: "Gov. Taylor of Kentucky, is recog nized." Every eye, was turned toward the renter of the" hail where a tall, gaunt, black garbed figure, with the swarthy face of nil Indian, stood with a paper in hand, awaiting a pause in the hurrah wiiich his name had evoked. "Come to the platform, Governor, they want to see you," called out Mr. Woi cott. The much discussed man from Ken tucky* moved up the middle aisle to the platform, receiving o cheer us Senator Wolcott advanced to greet him. There was a momentary silence as the conven tion waited apparently expecting a speech, echoing some of the recent dramatic in cidents in Kentucky. But instead of that, in piping voice. Gov. Taylor seconded the nominations of the various officials who had been announced, and this clone, left the stage. The nominations were made unanimous. "Mr. Payne of New York." announced the chairman, and again all eyes turne.l to the center of the hall, where, this time, the sllvertopped form of the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee was seen. He moved that the rules of the is: convention prevail until other rules were adopted, und this prevailed without dissent. The call of the roll of the states for the submission of members of the various committees then began. It proved a tedi ous process and the convention was vli tualiy in recess as the names were handed in. Roosevelt Held a Levee. White the lists were 1 e ng brought to the s’age Gov. Roosevelt held a regular levee in the pit. Delegates swarmed to ward him from all directions. Senator Quay was one of those who greeted him warmly.

Ilanna Knew tlie \\ a > in Hat Wan 1 liable to Find It. Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 19. —As the hour drew near for the assem bling of <he convention, the esplanade in front of the main entrance presented an animated appearefhee. The crash came in a heap. Crowds from street cars tilled the green sward on either side of the driveway, while the driveway became crowded with equipages of every class. Tin.* first arrival which attracted the attention of all was Senator Hanna, who came in the private carriage of George C. Griscom, and was accompanied by that gentleman. The police lined up before Mr. Hanna and kept back the crowd. Although Mr. Hanna had my number of offers to show him how to get in, he un dertook to be his own pilot and made the wrong entrance. The Thirty-fourth street entrance to the grounds was not pressed up to the hour of noon. Not a thousand persons had passed the -turnstiles at 12 o’clock. Tho grounds about Convention Hall are supplied with benches on which many sat as leisurely as if there was nothing un usual. The impatient hurry, confusion and dis order usually incident to the first day of a national convention were not in evi dence outside the building before the be ginning of the first day’s session. SC FNES ON TUB STREETS. Shouting-, Singing, Speaking, Sell ing:, Sketching, Scorching. Philadelphia, June 19.—The crowd is eas ily assembled and easily amused. To night is everybody’s night in Broad street. The Albany Club started out from the Hotel Walton about 8 o'clock, headed by a band. The crowd quickly gatherel around the club and the band played, while the throngs applauded. Then somebody called for a speech. This was seconded by everybody pres <m. There were calls for Hanna, Roose velt, Lodge and others, and the crowd in the street looked up at the hotel front as if it expected to see some of those called appear. Then the crowd yelled for anybody to talk. There was an adver tising wagon in the crowd con structed on the electrical plan. A man mounted this and ha rangued the crowd. He had the voice and that satisfied them. No one seemed to know’ the speak* r’s name, and no one fc- med to care. When the speaker jump ed off the wagon the band and the Albany club moved toward the City Hall. The croud shifted and bn into groups and s’ill filled the street. The artist do rg the crayon sketches, the gang of bloods on a balcony pitching pennies to pick aninnies and gamins, who rolled in the dust and fought lor the coins, the man who flashed news and convention cele brities on the canvas, the fakir, the lemon ade vendor, the ice cream d*aler, the badge seller—all had an audience and the aggregate made the crowd. Later in the night a drum nnd fife corps, under the apprehension that they had been neglected, started in and added to the noise. This was a diversion for the street for a few minutes, and then, the crowd resumed its promenade, halting, commenting or shouting according to the exhibit. The weather was well adapted for a crowd, and it made the most of the com bination. Anew generation has come into Philadelphia since the last National Convention held here, and it seems to think there will never he another. While the street throng was enjoying itself, the hotel lobbies were in merry mood. The time for button-holing dele gates in the corridors has passed. So the hotel crowds amused themselves by in ducing anybody to mount the office stairs end orate. From that time the speaker was the butt of ridicule and cat calls un til he gave up in despair. And then the lobby crowd would sing or try to, and wind up with a college yell. To-night a big mass meeting was held in the Academy of Music, at w’hich May or Ashbridge of <his cby presided. This is tne building in w’hieh Gen. Grant was nominated in 1872. A number of distin guished Republicans addressed the meet ing*. COWEXTIOX PHOTOGRAPHED. Every Movement of ITunnn and Other Lenders Caught. Philadelphia, June 10.—Every aspect of the convention and the assemblage has been or will be preserved if the cameras have not failed. One located In the east gallery of the hall began business early in the day, and was focused during the entire session on the platform. ‘Every movement of Chair man Hanna was registered on the delicate plates. When the venerable chaplain, in the robes of his church, arose to pro nounce the innovation, the man behind the camera had hi- machine trained upon him like a gun. While Chairman Hanna was diking after th> reading of the call the picture man was most active. During the delivery of Temporary Chairman Wol cott’s speech the east gallery camera had a brief rest, but there ware others directed at the delegates and across the convention hall at the people in these galleries. One of these was -tublished in the northeast corner of the pl.nf rm occupied by news paper correspondents; an ther was in the corner opposite; still another was In the south gallery. These thcee did business during every hour of the convention. When the ensemble of the hall was taken from every viewpoint, the lenses were turned upon any Individual groups in the delegations and shifted alternately uj>on coteries of spectators in the gal leries. VAITifIV WON l\ ALAII \ MA. < ontcMts Settled by the (’omniltt*e on t reilen tin I*. Philadelphia. June 19.—The Committee on Credentials met immediately after the adjournment of the convention and organ ized by electing Sorono E. Payne of New York ns chairman and Col. Charles E. Dick secretary. A roll of states was colled with the de sire of ascertaining how mahy contests would come before the committee, and it was found that twenty-four were to be heard. The most important contests are in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Dela ware und Tennessee. Nearly all of the other contests are confined to district del egates. After calling the roll of states it was de cided to go into executive session. After an extended argument on the part of sev eral contestants it w as arranged that for contests involving the seats of delegates of l.ngc. lifnn minutes should l>o allowed each side tor argument, and for district delegates five minutes should he allowed f.*r ach side. It was left discretionary with the chairman to extend the time. At CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Slgnatur* of 5.30 p. m. the committee adjourned until 7 o’clock.

Ihe Tallahassee Southeastern Railroad took out a large excursion for Thomas city on Monday. When the crowd board ed the train in the afternoon on the re turn trio the report of a gun rang out upon the air as the train started. No one seems to kn w who fired the gun or for what purpose, but all know that a fu-ilade fo,lowed from about forty tur pentine negroes, with the result that a man and a woman were slightly wounded on the train. It Is said that two of the at tacking party wore also wounded, how seriously is not known.

Pending i<s dis cussion, the sub-committee adjourned to await the action of its revisers, to me< t again at midnight. The recess, until midnight, was talon for the purpose cf permitting Lemuel E. Qulgg, ihe New York member of the com mittee, to go through the draft of the platform, and make the changes nee -ssi tated bn the action of the sub-committee. When the recess was taken at 9 o’clock, a positive policy had been decided upo l on most of the questions considered proper for action upon. The Finn netful Plank. The principal declaration of the finan cial plank had been completed, but there was still doubt as to whether any refer ence would be made to silver, with the indications favorable to a slight recogni tion of international bimetallism, this, however, to be accompanied by the posi tive declaration that without International agreement bimetallism is not to receive any recognition whatever. At that hour, however, the resolution declared absolute ly for the maintenance of the gold stand ard, commended the passage of the finan cial legislation of the last session of Con gress. and then adds some features from tho plank suggested by Messrs. Hanna and Payne favoring such legislation will secure lower ra*tes of in terest in times of financial string ency by permitting the temporary issuance of a limited increase of the bank circulation to be secured by depositing United States bonds. On the question of trusts the document says that “while recognizing the necessity and legitimacy of the co-operation of capital in the promotion or industrial en terprises, we are opposed to all combina tions intended to restrict trade, to limit production, to affect prices and to ac stroy competition, and we favor such leg islation as w’ill effectively prevent abuses liable to arise from such combinations. ’ There is also a declaration in the inter est of labor, with which is coupled a de mand for the restriction of immigration. This plank says that “in the interest of the American w’orkingnv n, we favor such legislation as will regulate and restrict foreign Immigration.” There is also a demand for the raising of the age limit of children < mploye 1 in factories and for shorter hours of employ ment for all classes of laborers.

The fact is p. m< <1 out, however, that no oth r nation has gone so far in manifesting sympathy for the Boers.

The Pres dent’s course in the war wi h Spain, in the Philippines and in Cuba and Porto Rico is commended.

ODD C RAFT AT HOME HERE. Army of Many “Freak'* Veaaela on Chlraito'a Water Front. From the Chicago News. Chicago Is becoming known as the home of the "freak" hoot. Along Its water front are to be found examples of nearly every type of craft that is n ileimrture from "or thodox" methods of marine arehlteetur ■. Boats built for speed without comfort, comfort without speed, and economy with out regard, to either, as well tig boats built to satisfy somebody's theory of .the manner in which <t wonderfully swift ves sel ought to be built, appear to exceed In number the cruising yachts of the city. An hour's stroll along the breakwater that separates the Inner basin from the south harbor offers an opportunity to more of these strange eraft than can la found In a similar area In almost any other yacht anchorage In this country.

But on the lakes where nearly all shipping has had to be hullt on experimental linen, and anew style of architecture suited to new condi tions developed, this hnblt has grown and produce! nn inordinate number of “freaks.” It was on the lakes that Alex ander McDougail dreamed of his strange “c'ga- s>hap< <1 craft” which led to .the buii*.itig of ilu* 111.-: wha. -back— i type of vessel known the world over to-day.

The other <-\:rome from this machine is the straight sided, flat-bottomed hulk built for a yacht by the man who wants lots of room, and who has little idea of marine architecture. There is a com mon idea, not borne out. by facts, that a ; (might-sided boat is safer than one with curving sides. This is not the case, however. These right-angle craft tip * im!\, do not gain .- ability, as a boat should, with increasing angle, and are slow and lubberly. Steamboats as well as sailboats are built on distorted lines, and among the examples oft: • latter is the steam cata maran, or double-hulled boar, which was to make womh-rfdl speed with very little power, but which proved a great disap pointment to her builders. So much had she been talked about as a coming won der that when she made her first slow trip down tho river, ragmen followed after and "guyed” the owner by threatening to have him pulled for running at a dangerous ra;c and making too great bow wash. The craze for “freak” yachts is a per ennial one. It comes at intervals and ap pears to die away. But always it is re vis'd bof -e the old to;‘k of craft has entirely vanished from the lnke front, and k*-ops ihe supply' there sufficient to maintain Chicago's reputation, THE SOITiIUHNEKS’ SHOES. \rc, ns a Lliilc, Shorter Than tlie Northerners*. With lli n her Instep. From the N .

A en.it deal of nonsense has been written* about the so-called ‘Creole lat,’ but the* shoo best adapted to high-clay* Southern trade does possess certain dis tinguishing features of its own. It is shorter than the Northern shoe, to begin with, and haw a much higher instep. The difference in the instep varies from one* h;df to one and a half inches, which is equivalent to saying that a man with a typical Southern foot could not get Into a shoe made >u a typical Northern lasi. “The Creoh n 1 *> -< of a flfttit in tiie trade now than it did formerly, for two r asons: First, people wear looser footgear at pri <nt than they used to, and the distinctive points are not ho no ti i tihie, and, second, an immense num ber of Northern folks have come into the South, and the local manufacturers cater to their patronage with -a considera ble percentage ,f the factory output.
