When Mr. Depew finished there was great cheering. A banner with Harrison's portrait was bronght on the piatform, and there was @ great demon- stration all over the hall. The Biaine banner was then brought on the | floor amid great excitement and cheering. The Harrison and Blaine banners were car- ried around the hall. The demonstration for doth was such that it was impossible to see the | portraits. Red, white and blue plumes wore waved in various parts of the hall. The noise and ex- citement were great.

Senator Warner Miller, who retired‘“outside the breastworks” when the lights wentout at midnight, was early in his seat this'morning. Mr. Hiscock was too fatigued to rise during the prayer. He was the only-delegate who re- mained seated. David Martin was announced as national committeeman from Pennsylvania, R. G. Evans from Kentucky and David E. Layton from Delaware. CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE REPORT+ADOPTED. Consideration of the committee on creden- tials being resumed the chair made the gratify- ing announcement to the convention that Senator Quay bad authorized him to say that no further opposition would be made to the adoption of the majority re- port in the Alabama case. The question was then putand the majority report was unani- monsly adopted amid cheers, This example ‘was followed by those who had intendedtoantag- onize the Utah report on the Mormon issue, Mr. Cullom, after consultation with other friends of the administration, agraed not to de- lay nominations by raising:a discassion om this question. The chairman asked Mr. Cannon of Utshif he desired a vote on his minority report. He said that he did. The minority report was beaten by a decided majority-and ‘the majority report was adopted.

(oRaWN BY 4 STAR ARTIST FROM A TELEGRAPHIO SKETCH.) + ri SPEECH. The Address in Which Mr. ‘Name Was Presented. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew seconded President Harrison's nomination and said: “Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: “It is the peculiarity of republican national conventions that each one of them has a dis- tinct and interesting history. We are here to meet conditions and solve problems which make thia gathering not only no exception to the rule, but substantially a new departure. “That there should be strong convictions and their earnest expression as to preferences and policies is characteristic of the right of indi- vidual judgment, which is the fundamental principal of republicanism. There havo been ‘occasions when the result was so sure that the legates covld freely indulge in the charming Harrison's del \prilcge of ‘avoritism and of friendship. But e situation which now confronts us demands the exercise of dispassionate judgment and our best thought and experience. We canuot venture on uncertain ground or en- counter obstacles placed in the pathway of suc- cess by ourselves. ‘Tle democratic pasty is now divided, but the hove of the asion of power once more will mike it in the final battle ‘more aggressive, determined and unscrupulous than ever. It starts with fifteen states secure without an effort, by — pro- ceases which are A travesty upon popu- lar government, and if continued long enough will paralyze institutions founded upon popular suffrage. It has to win four more states in a fai fight, states which in the vocabulary of politics are denominated doubtful. The’ republican rty must appeal to the conscience and the judgment of the individual voter in every state in.the Union. ‘This is in accordance with the principles upon which it was founded and the objects for which it contends. It has accepted this isue before and fought it out with an ex- traordinary continuance of success. LINCOLN AND GRANT. “The conditions of republican victory from 1860 to 1880 were created by Abraham Lincoln jand Ulysses S. Grant. They were that the saved republic should be run by its saviors; they were emancipation of the slaves, the re- construction of the states, the reception of those who had fought to destroy the public back into the fold, without penalties or punish- ments, and to an equal share with those who had fought and saved the nation, in the solemn obligations and inestimable privileges of Ameri- can citizenship. They were the embodiment into the Constitution of the principles for which two millions of men had fought and half a million had died. ‘They were the restoration of public credit, the resumption of specie pay- ments and the prosperous condition of solvent business, “For twenty-five years there were names with which to conjure, and events fresh in the public mind which were eloquent with popular enthusiasm. It needed little else than a recital sof the glorious story of its heroes and a state- mont of the achievements of the ropublican my, to retain the confidence of the people. t from the desire for change which {s char- acteristic of free governments there came a re- yerval, there came acheck to the progress of the republican party and four years of demo- cratic administration. FOUR YEARS OF DEMOCRACY. “These four years largely relegated to the realms of history past issues, and brought us face to face with what democracy, its pro- fessions and its practices mean today. great names which adorned the roll of repub- Lican statesmen and soldiers are still potent and popular. The great measures of the re- publican party are still the best of the history of the century e unequaled and unexampled stoty of re- publicanism in its promises and its achieve- ments stands unique in the record of in governments which are free. But we live in practical times, facing practical issues which affect the ieee, the wages, the labor and the prosperity @r today. The ‘campaign will be won or lost not upon the bad record of James K. Polk, or of Franklin Pierce, or of James Bu- cbanan—not upon the good record of Lincoln, or of Grant, or of Arthur, or of Hayes, or of Garfield. It will be won or lost upon the policy, foreign or domestic, the industrial measures and the administrative acts of the administra- tion of Benjamin Harrison, “Whoever receives the nomination of this con- vention will run upon the judgment of a people as to whether they have been more prosperousand happy, whether thecountry has been ina better condition at home and stood more honorably abroad under these last four years of Harrison and republican administration, than during the preceding four years of Cleveland and demo- cratic government. THE HARRISON ADMINISTRATION. “Not eince Thomas Jefferson bas any adminie- tration been called upon to face and solve £0 many or such difficult problems as those which have been exigent in four conditions.

To it has been added a beneficent policy, supplemented by beneficent treaties and wise diplo- which has opened to our farm- and manufacturers tho markets of other countries. The navy has been built upon lines which will protect Amorican citizens and American interests and the American tag all over the world. The public debt has been reduced.

Two hundred millions of currency have been added to the people's money without disturb- ance of the exchanges. THE FAVORITE SONS, “CUnexampled prosperity has crowned wise Jaws and their wise administration. The main question which divide us is: To whom does the credit of all this belong? Orators may stand upon this platform more able and more eloquent than I, who will paint in more brilliant colors, but they cannot putin more earnest thought the affection and admiration of republicans for our distinguished Secretary of State. I yield to no republican, no matter from which state he hails, in admiratign and respect for John Sherman, for Governor McKinley, for Thomas B. Reed, for Iowa's great son, for the favorites of | Illi- nois, Wisconsin and Michigan. But when I am ‘told that the credit for the brilliant diplomacy of this administration belongs exclu- sively to the Secretary of State, for the admin- istration of its finances to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury. for the, construction of its ships to the Secretary of the Navy, for the introduction of America = in Europe to the Secretary of Agriculture, for the settlement, so far as it is settled, of ‘the currency question to Senator Jobn 'Sherman, for the formulation of tariff laws to Gov. McKinley, for the removal of the restrictions placed by foreign nati upon the introduction of American pork to our ministers at Paris and Berlia, I am terapted to seriously inquire who during the lnst four years has been President of the United States, anyhow. “Cesar, when he wrote those commentaries which were the history of the conquests of En- rope under his leadership, modestly took the position of nas when he said: ‘They are the narrative of events the whole‘ of which I saw d the part of which I was. Gen. Thomas, as the ‘Reck of Chicks manga,’ occupies a place in our history with Leonidas among the Greeks, except that he succeeded where Leonidas failed. The fight of Joe Hooker above the clouds was the poetry of battle. The resistless rush of Sheridan and his | steed down the valley of Shenandoah is the epic of our civil war. The march of Sherman from Atlanta to the sea is the supreme triumph of gallantry and strategy. It detracts nothing from the splendor of the fame or'the merita of the deeds of hin lieutenants to say that having selected them with marvelous sagacity and dis- cretion, Grant still remained the supreme com- mander of the national army. To WHOM CREDIT 18 DUE. “All the proposed acts of any administration before they are formulated are passed upon in cabinet council, and the measures and sug- gestions of the ablest secretaries would have failed with a lesser President. But for the great good of the country and the benefit of the republican party they have succeeded, be- cause of the suggestive mind, the indomitable courage, the intelligent appreciation of situa- tions and the grand magnanimity of Benjamin Harrison. “It is an undisputed fact that during the few months when both the Secretary of State end the Secretury of the Treasury wére ill the President personally assumed the duties of the State and the Treasury Department, and both with equal success. The Becretary of State, in ao- cepting his portfolio under President Garfield, wrote: ‘Your administration must be made brilliantly successful and strong in the confi- dence and a the [atm not at all divert- ing ita energies for re-election and yet compel- ling that result by the logic of events aud by the imperious necessities of tho situation.’ “Garfield fell before the bullet of the assassin and Mr. Blaine retired to private life. Gen. Harrison invited him to take up that unfinished diplomatic career where its thread had been so tragically broken. He entered the cabinet. He resumed his work and has won a higher lace in our history. The prophecy he made for Garfield has been superbly fulfilled by President Harrison. In the of Mr. Blaine: “The President has com a election by the logic of events and the Perious necessities of tiie situation.’ REQUISITES OF THE NOMIKEE. “The man who is rominated here today, to win, must carry certain well-known number of the doubtful states.

Both Sides Study the Meaning of Last Night’s Votes. Mixxzaroris, Mrxx., June 10.—The coven- tion had scarcely adjourned when acall was issued for w conference of the leaders of both factions in their separate rooms in the West | Hotel, and the test vote was taken up and care- fully analyzed in detail. The result was to give even additional encouragement to the Harrison managers, who came to the conclusion that in certain states where the ma- Jotity had not received the vote expected the | President would gain several additional dele- gates by the fact that the Blaine men who were instructed for Harrison would feel bound to follow out their instructions when the ballot for the presidency came. All through the night conferences wergheld in different parts of the hotel and emisaries were dispatched to make a last effort to win wavering delegates to one or the other of the rival factions, The morning opened with the Harrison peo- ple still confident, but the Blaine managers cre none the less determined. CHAIRMAN CLARKSON, Chairman Clarkson said that he had received a large number of telegrams this morning from Prominent men throughout the country, who had herotofore been urging him to harmonize the opposition in support of the President, requesting him now to make every effort to bring about a reconcilia- tion of the warring factions by a union on some man who would be satisfactory to both ele- ments. McKinley, Rusk, Reed and Allison had all Ween suggested in these telegrams. BITTER FEELING, One effect of last night's fight was visible on all sides on the opening today, and that was that the bitterness of feeling engendered in the contests in manifestations of the past week had grown to proportions which, in a measure, excite the apprehension of the more conserva- tive republicans. The Harrison people, of course, were inclined to be considerate. Is is the rank and file of the Blsine forces, who, mourning and refus- ing to be comforted, concluded by uttering defiance to the administration candi- date. Just how lasting this feeling will be of course noone can say. Among the wrathiest people in Mitneapolis today were the Harrison members of the Kansas delegation. A KANSAS STAMPEDE. Report was current that Kansas was leading ina movement away from Harrison to a third man. The exasperating part of the report was that it contained considerable truth. The facts, thongh circulating in an exag- gerated form, were alarming enough. Ten of tho Kansas —_representa- tives, an exact half of the sunflower state dele- gation, were doing their utmost to causes dark horse stampede, with McKinley as the proposed | best candidate to tnite upon, Delegate Engene Ware of Fort Scott, who was a leader of the Harrison clement, was Particularly sore over the situation. He declared that the talk of a dark horse, while having been brought up in a meeting of the nsas men, had revulted in no action, half of the delegates refusing to remain present if the discussion was allowed to proceed. ‘There would be no further caucus of the kind, he passionately assorted. Mr. Ware would not deny that Ingalls and Perkina were the engineers of the Kansas dark- horve departure, and that both had made fpeeches a an entire new deal and the tonment of Harrison and Blaine in favor of some other candidate less liable to factional resentment, Notwithstanding Mr. Ware's inti- mation that the Harrison of the tion bed stemmed the tide and that the I Perkins movement was a failure, re- porte were current that Ingalle had succeeded In binding the Kansas delegation to vote as a unit, With such an arra mnt and n gain of only one convert the tion would be swung away from MASHACHUSETTS IN COXFERENCE. ‘The Massachusetts state delegation is holding @ conference this morning, and the greatest anxiety is evinced as to its probable results. ‘There is no doubt that a portion of the delega- tion will favor casting the vote of the stato for some compromise candidate, but it seems quite improbable that any harmonious action can be agreed upon.

Katee CLAIMS OF THE BLAINE MEN. ‘They Say That They Have Not Given Up the Fight. Mrexgarozis, June 10.—The fourth day of the convention opened with mininture of 9 Dakota blizzard. It lacked some of the most unpleasant features. It was not cold and it Was not accompanied by snow or hail, but it was lively enough to tear from their places the decorations which adorned the buildings along Minneapolis’ principal streets. The rain fell in torrents for a time, but the storm was of short duration and the sky soon cleared. ‘The streets Were comparatively deserted .when the storm roke. The shouters and the marching clubs, worn | with the exertions of last night, did not put in their uswal early appearance and the voice of the bugle and the sound of the drum were not heard in the land. At 10 o'clock, an hour be- fore the convention wns to meet, not a band had appeared on the streets and there was but small crowd turning toward convention hall. It was evident, that the convention would be late assembling. The prospect this morning was that the sup- jorters of Mr. Blaine would fight to the last itch. It was given out early that the contest | over the report of the committee on credentials | would be continued this morning and the bal- | loting delayed as long as possible. The Harri- | son element said that this plan was solely for the purpose of giving the idea to the country that the contest was close and bitter and that the selection of a third candidate was the only solution of the situation. One of Mr. Platt's closest friends this morn- ing prepared for circulation among the dele- gates the following analysis of last night’s vote taken on the Alabarna case: } | | Southern votes for Blain a | Southern voter for Harrison. > 182 | Sure republican states—Blaine. 267 Harrison . z 184 | Doubtful states—Biaine. 66 Harrison . - om. The statement went on to point out that nearly all of the majority on the vote came from the southern states, where the republican party does not secure a single electoral vote. The leaders of the anti-Harrison movement expressed themselves this morning as being not a whit discow Under no circumstances, they said. would they give up the fight. When the balloting was reported and the eupporters taken from the Harrison vote of last night it | would be seen that they (the Blainites) practi- cally controlled the situation. The Blaine vote last night, or rather early this morning, they say, represented a strength | that will remain by him and none of which is pledged to any other candidate, while the vote Of the opposition was made up not only of supporters of Harrison, but also of all the out- element. On the other hand, the friends of the President count upon leing from twenty t night. to forty-four votes stronger than VICE PRESIDENCY. Although the close of the convention iss near there had up to this morning not been a breath of discussion regarding the vice presi- dential nomination. A good many of the dele- gates on being questioned concerning their preference were fivorably disposed toward Sen- ator Allison of Iowa, wi i i regarded Whitelaw Indiana, Ohio and lin Reid of New York as having qualifications that would make him a strong running mate with the President. i considerable undercurrent cerning the policy of placing a western man on the ticket to offaet the grange: movements in that region, and in this conn tion the name of J. 8.

Mrxxzaroris, Jane 10.—In the vastaudience ‘of 12,000 people in the convention hall last night was not asingle person who did not under- stand that the vote upon the Alabama question, shorn of all its technicalities, was really a vote upon the preferences of the delegates for Benj. Harrison. and Jas. G. Blaine. When the Harrison forces came off the victors their. enthusiasm for a brief time reminded one of is of talk con. that the majority was so bazardously low that every effort must be exertod to prevent inroads upon the administration forces during the con- ferences of the night. BLAINE ENTHUSIASM. The enthusiasm of last evening in the con- vention hall, taken all in all, was distinctly for James G. Blaine. While the Harri- son people appeared to have ® majority of the delegates three-fourths of the audi- ence in the galleries were apparently devoted admirers of the plumed knight and lost no opportunity of demonstrating their ad- miration, And so the Harrison victory in the popular effect was received with but very little enthusiasm, and while the Blaine leaders after the test ballot appeared decidedly crestfallen, there wad no diminution of Blaine enthusiasm in the galleries. The votes in some of the great states of the Union, those which exert such an immense in- finence upon all political conventions, showed what the power of organization can doin the councils of the republican party.

One gentleman who was at the conference told me that they would stand fast on Blaine. “Mr. Harrison,” he said, “will not make the nomination—that is as good as settled.
