(nufthl Siftlit of ills Wife nni Smiled Till His Teeth Showed—Se rene and Snhuilssivr llnnnn Chosen Clinirman. Philadelphia, June 21.—President McKin ley was unanimously renominated for President of the United States by the Republican National Convention at 1:48 o'clock to-day, and an hour and ten min utes later. Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of New York, was unanimously selected to stand beside him in the coming battle. There was a fine setting for to-day's spectacular drama. Bright peonies at cither end of the stage made two flaming bits of color. Over the vast multitude fens moved ceaselessly to and fro, like the pinions of a cloud of alarmed gulls beat ing the air. v There were no preliminaries. The wran gle expected over the question of reducing the representation in the South, was averted by the withdrawal of ex-Sonator Quay’s proposition. The great hall be came quiet as Senator Lodge, standing before 15,000 eager faces, gavel in hand, announced that nominations for President of the United States were in order. The reading clerk advanced to the front of the platform. He was about to call the roll of state® for the presentation of candidate®. When Alabama was called, a thin, red-whiskered delegate from that state arose and surrendered the first right to speak to Ohio. A flutter of handker chiefs filled the air and a cheer went up from the delegates in the. pit as Senator Foraker of Ohio, the ideal of militant Re publicanism, strode toward the platform. Foraker is a grand looking man, with something of the imperiousness of Blaine and the dash of a Rupert about him. Thr> air was surcharged with electricity as he 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 call up a storm that would sweep through the amphitheatre. Below him. about him on either side, were banked men and women almost frantically waving hats, handkerchiefs, and pampas plumes. In full view* of the convention he stood erect, his face as inflexible as though chiselled in marble, waiting for the applause to cease. When quiet was re stored he began to speak. The Hurricane Started. He began to call up the hurricane from the start. Whenever he raised his arms aloft the whistling of the gale ran round the hall. When he said the nomination had already been made, that Wolcott and Lodge and'the platform had each in turn named his candidate, a great cheer went up. When he said his candidate was the first choice of every man who desired Re punlican 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 thrill ed. and when he concluded by placing Mc- Kinley in nomination, not in behalf of Ohio, but in behalf of all the states and territories, a clap of thunder shook the building. Below him, all about him, were deafening roars. In the pit the delegates and alternates were cheering enthusiasti cally. Over the acres of spectators bed lam reigned. The hall was an angry sea of tossing color. Flags, red, white and blue plumes shot up as If by magic to crest the waves. Hats were lifted aloft on canes. Umbrellas were hoisted and twisted until they resembled whirling dervishes. On the press platform the newspaper men with watches out were counting' the minutes. On the stage Senator Hanna, his handkerchief in one hand, a fan In the other, was spurring the vast assemblage to new endeavors. The raging storm did not seem to excite him. He seized a plume •nd whirled it about his htad like a gen eral leading his men to the charge. All at once a delegate bearing the stand ard of Kentucky rushed forward to the stage. The effect was magical. Standards of the states were torn loose and yelling delegates climbed upon ihe platform to rally around their Bader. With state guidons pointed to a common center they made a canopy over ihe head of the Warwick of the Republican party. Ohio interlocked her staff with New York, Maine figuratively kissed h r hand to Cal ifornia, and Minnesota saluted Texas. Then higher still climbed Hanna. It Wai Comparatively Uriel. He mounted a table where he could Icok out on the cheering multitude. Beside him suddenly appeared a young girl arrayed in the national colors. At this sight the ch-eers redoubled. The music of the or chestra was drowned in the awful din Thd demonstration had now continued with scarcely a lull for ten minutes. Chair man Lodge began to rap for order, but the ring of his gavel was of no avail. A Texas delegate shouted above the roar "Three cheers for Mark Hanna!” They were given with a will. Then a delegate with Ohio’s standard in his hafid dove into the main aisle and went careening to ward the rear to the music of “John Brown's body lies mouldering In the grounds." The bearers of the standards of the other states plunged after him. Down the aisle they swung, starting the whole slorm afresh. When they reached the main entrance they were met by men holding aloft a gigantic papier-mache el - phant with the national colors entwine 1 about its neck. Then the procession cam-' back and circled Ihe pit. For Severn! minutes this parade continued. The demonstration all told lasted exact ly fifteen minutes. In length of time It does not compare with the prolonged cheer which went up for Grant In 18-0 or Blaine in 1888 or for McKinley in 1898. It is also suipassed in length of time by demonstrations at Democratic conven tions. Bat Roosevelt Got It. This protracted outburst was but the forerunner of the pandemonium that reigned a ratnrnt later when R osevelt the man of the hour, mounted the plat form to secot and the President's nomlna ti n. When the eonvenllr.n onusht sigh’ of him It w. nt off again like a rocket. As he stood there facing the yelling multi tude the roar could be heard for blocks. Hanna smiled blandly as a daring photo grapher set up a rapid Are camera direct ly In front of the hero of San Juan and J&ttoannal) iHofning ffctoi began banging a wav a*, him. But ’‘Ted dy d.d not flinch. His stern, square jaw was firmly tas he surveyed the scene. < mly once did. his face relax. That was when he caught sight of his wife who sat in the reserved seats overhanging the pit on his right. Then he smiled till his teeth show ed and Mrs. Roosevelt fluttered back her handkerchief. When finally he was allowed to begin, he plunged direct.y to the heart of his subject in the impetuous way which the people so much evimire. Hi- first statement was that he would second the. nomination of William McKin ley. who had faced more problems than my President since Lincoln. The conven tion got on its feet, and it was several minutes before he could proceed. Every movement and every word was chare■'*- teristie of the man. He looked, spoke and acted like one giving direction to an army about to go into battle. And nothing would content him but to storm the. bights as he did at Santiago. He had the manu script of his speech in his bend, ami re- Ur red to it occasionally, discarding page alter page as he finished, until the plat form at his feet was strewn with white sheets. When he concluded and resumed his seat in the New York delegation the other del egates rushed forward and surroundo:! him. Many embraced him and it eeenvd for a moment as if they would lift him to their shoulders. Senator Thurston, the Demosthenes of the Senate; John VY. Yerkes, and orator from the Bluegrass State, and Gov. Mount of Indiana, n so seconded McKinley’s nomination, but be fore the latter concluded the convention was impatient for a vote anil several times tried to howl him down. Then the* roll of slates was called end delegation after del egation rose in solid blocks and cast their votes for McKinley. McKinley mid Roosevelt. When Chairman Lodge made the an nouncement that the President had been renominated for the term beginning March -1, 1901, there was the same wild storm which had been raised by Foraker and when it was over Roosevelt’s nomination for th< vice presidency evoked a succession of similar demonstrations. Late Young, of lowa, who was with Roosevelt in Cuba, nominated him on behalf of the state, which had originally come to Philadelphia for Dolliver. His nomination was seconded by Dele gate Murray of Secretary Long’s state, ami Delegate Ashton of Washington, which came here for Bartlett Tripp. Chauncey Depew wound up the oratory on behalf of the state which declared for Woodruff. During every pause the band played but one air. the tune which Col. Roosevelt had heard in the trenches before Santiago. At :14 o’clock the convention, which had done the unparalleled thing of nominating both the candidates for President and Vico President unanimously, adjourned. Gov. Roosevelt, drove from the conven tion hull with Mr. Odell, seated in the rear of an open landau. He lifted his broad-brimmed hat to the continuous salvos that greeted him as he passed through the densely packed streets like a conquering hero fresh from new victo ries. To-night the faces of McKinley and Roosevelt are on all the badges and their names afe on every lip. mckinley and roosevblt. Scenes and Incidents Attendant on the Nominations. Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 21. This was the great day and long before 10 o'clock, the hour set for the reassem bling of the convention, the hall was sur rounded by an immense army of people, who besieged ell the doors and entrances, clamoring for admission. tYhen the doors were opened they surg ed in like a flood submerging the vast hall. The stage had been freshened with green things, and at each corner, like a touch of flaming color, red peonies shot into the air. One old fellow In the gallery, with charming disregard of the proprieties, di vested himself of float ond vest, hung them over the rail and took his seat. Three minutes before 10, the Kansas delegation, headed hy Col. Burton, with bright silk sun flowers pinned to their lapels, aroused the first enthusiasm, as they marched down the main aisle bear ing a white banner inscribed in big black letter with the words “Kansas is for Roosevelt.” Gov. Roosevelt entered at exactly 10 o’clock. He road a rush of it to-day, hut he did not escape the keen eye of the thousands and they set up a cheer at eight of him. He was surrounded by the dele gates when he reached the pit and show ered with congratulations. He made no protestations or dissent, but sml ingly re peated his thanks. One, gray-haired dele gate put his arms around the Governor and whispered in his ear. All states were represented in the welcome wi:h Kansas, the indomitable Roosevelt pioneer, lead ing the demonstration. Hanna Greet* Roosevelt. A few minutes later another outburst greeted the entrance of Senator Har.na. 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, ond when he reached the standard of the New York delegation, where Roosevelt was holding a levee, he pushed through the throng and greeted the Rough Rider warmly, even affectionately. With Ms hand upon Roosevelt's shoulder, he whi— pered in his ear. For two minutes they remained thus In close communion. Depew created a stir a little iater, but it was Matthew Stanly Quay who aroused the shouts of Ihe local ctowd. Hin'y Cabot Lodge, the permanent chairman, reached the stage at 10:15 and there, was an interesting conference cf the leaders in full view of the vast audience. Joe Manley, Col. Dick, looking mote like a poel than a soldier; Mark Hanna, Senator Chandler. Julius Caesar Burrows, Mayor Ashbridge, Charles Emory Smith, John R Lynch, the colored ex-congressman from Mississippi, and a score of others were busy perfecting the finale for the day. At 10:20 the big band from Canton, 0., the President’s home, made its way into the hail from the west side and broke out with the pealing strains of the national anthem. The whole audience rose to its feet and stood until it was concluded. Ficturesquely dignified, and with a rather Incongruoua sttlng. there stood upon the platform during the prelimina ries Archbishop Ryan, of the Roman Catholic See at Philadelphia. His as-etlc face above She purple and black robes of his clerical office stood out cameo-like from the group of politicians of all classes and color, ond In all manner of dress. He chatted pleasantly with those about him and rose promptly from his seat when the first notes of the "Star Spangled Ban ner" sounded. Among the early arrivals in the hall was Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. She sat In the front row of the east side of the hall. Im mediately to the left of the first row of delegates. She was attired In a pink sum. mer gown white collar and delicate four in-hand tie, and bta'k picture hat trimmed with feathers and a great how of white Mrs. Roosevelt was the cynosure of thou sands of eyes.
