Depew second- ing the nomination of Mr. Harrison. ‘The news of the President's renomination was printed in ar extra issued by Tur Stan and the first ballot was printed in a second extra. The | climax of the Depew speech came at a juncture unexpected by the speaker. brilliant recoras and deeds of the administra- tion he said: ‘Who will be credited a share in every one of them?” Inst: ly a voice shouted “Blaine” and an- other monster demonstration was precipitated | by the followers of the plumed knight.

Grasping the huge silken banner? of the Chicago Blaine Club, bearing the por- trait of the great popular leader, he marched up the center ‘aisle. As the Blaine and Harrison banners met midway a counter demonstration | followed, which words cannot describe. Age | and youth, the sedate and the cheerful, the an- stere and the gay, «ll joined in the enthusiasm of the occasion. ‘The tri-color plumes of Blaine were hwisted on every side, and. as if by magic, | a acore of portraits of Harrison and Blaine were swung to the breeze. In twenty minutes the rival deménstration had subsided sufficiently for the chair to announce that ex-Senator War- ner Miller of New York was i MR. WARNER MILLER. Warner Miller of New York took the platform to answer his colleague and second the nomina- tion of Blaine. He «aid: | “Mr. President and gentlemen of the conven- | tion: You have no louger time to listen to the | rehearsal of the history and achievements of the | republican party. You have no longer time to listen to the records of our great statesmen. | ‘You have come now to the su; hour of this convention.

Mr. Platt waved the delegation to its feet and led the applause. It was not prolonged. The chairman brought down his gavel and the clerk roceeded grith the call of the roll. When North Carolina was reached H. P. Cheat- ham was He was about to speak from the aisle, but there were cries of “plat- form” and he mounted the rostrum.

W. Downey of Wyoming said he camefrom that far-off state to second the nomination of James G. Blaine. [Cheers.] Mr. Downey pro- voked great laughter by saying that when he listened to the speech of Mr. Depew it re- minded him of the old days of Demosthenes. Elliot F. Shepard arose with great gravity, and grasping Depew’s hand congratulated him upou the distinction thrown upon him by the parallel and the eloquent New Yorker blushed deeply. The vast audience, convulsed with 6 to elf vigor. The speaker continuing grew somewhat tiresome and was interrupted with crics of “time, time.”” Chairman McKinley came to his relief by stating that there was no limit to the time of the nominating speeches and that evory gentle- man was entitled to « respeetful hearing. ‘The teful Mr. Downey testified his apprecistion yy turning to Mr. McKinley and telling him to make no pledges and that when four years more bad rolled around he would be “the invincible candidate of the republicans.” [Cheers.] Mr. Cheatham responded, saying that he did so on behalf of the republican party of North Carolina and 8,000,000 of negroes in the United States. whose progress and development in an educational, financial and moral way has sur- prised the world. “Irise here to second the nomination of the grand orator, of the gallant soldier, one of the wisest statesmen that ever adorned the annals of American history, the Hon. Benjamin Harrison.” [Applause.] PROCEEDING TO BALLOT. At the conclusion of call of states ex-Gov. Sewell of New Jersey moved that the conven- tion proceed to ballot. The motion was put and carried by @ rousing chorus of “ayes.” There were some scattering “noes,” and the convention cheered the announcement that the roll would be called. There was a pause, during which the chairman polled the votes of the delegations. ‘At seven minutes past 8 o'clock the chairman rapped for order, but the convention was not ly and he sat down again. Three minutes later he again called for order, saying there was a matter of very considerable moment which ought to be decided before the balloting began. It was whether the delegates from Alaska and Indian territory should be rmitted to vote. The understanding of the chair was that when the delegates from Alaska and the Indian territory were admitted to this convention it should be without the right to vote. He submitted to the convention so whether this wus their understanding also. There were cries of “yes” and an Towa delegate moved that the Alaska and Indian territory delegates be permitted to vote. The vote on the motion was ly aftirmative. ‘The chairman of the South Carolina delega- tion asked that the roll of the convention be corrected in the fifth South Carolina district, but after little colloquy the chairman an- nounced that the roll was certified as correct by the credentials committee und ordered the roll called. ‘An Lilinois delegate called for the reading of tule 9. After the reading the call of the roll oceeded. The first state called made the first reak to the durk horse—McKinley. It cast fif- teen votes for Harrison, seven for McKinley | amid cheers. When California was reached th announcement of the chairman was challenged | and the list of delegates was called. H. M. De- Young voted “‘Biaine” and there were cries of “good.” The call proceeded. Georgia gave a solid twenty-six for Harrison and was greeted with cheers. The vote of Ilinois was challenged by a delegate, who desired to put the delegates on record, and the roll of the dele- | gation wus called. During the poiling of Illinois Fasset went | down the aisle and had a whispered conference with Mr. Foraker. The result showed a mistake | in the chairman’s announcement and gave Har- | rison thirty-four votes instead of thirty-three | votes. Ind 's thirty for Harrison and | Maine’s twelve solid for Blaine were applauded. | Chris Magee of Pennsylvania stood in one of the wide aisles conspictionsly keeping tally of — looking for a Harrison re- | count. Missouri's gain for Harrison was ap- | plauded ‘vigorously. When New York was reached there were cries of ‘*Hush,” and silence followed wuile Chairman Miller announced the | vote. There was no applause. North Carolina's vote was challenged and the roll of the delega- | tion was called.

The chairman—“T am a member of the Ohio delegation.” Ex-Governor Foraker, standing on a chair, | replied: “But yon have retired from it and your alternate has taken tad place. We no longer know you asa member of the Ohio delegation.” [Cries of “‘good,” and cheers.] This generous action of the ex-governor | toward a man who but recently had been identi- | fied with an opposition faetion in the state of Ohio evoked the better impulses of the vast audience, and the Harrison as well as Blaine aud McKinley delegates found themselvea cheer- the generosity of the chairman of the Ohio | delegation. “The chair overrules the point of order,” | said McKinley to Foraker, “‘and asks the secre- | tary of the convention to call the roll.” Another ovation fell to the lot of Ohio.

PENNSYLVANIA'S VOTE. When the state of Pennsylvania was called, a minute later, a great surprise greeted the con- vention, Various delegntes who had, up to this time, apparently beon docile under the. Icader- | ship of Senator Quay revolted, and when the | result wus announced Harrison had ten more votes than had been expected from that state. |.

McKinley, and returned to the platform amid confusion, which made the call extremely diffi- cult. The clerk again called Texas. A delegate made an effort to challenge the vote of Texas and another the vote of Washington, but in the confusion their demands were not heeded. When Wisconsin cast nineteen votes for Harri- son some hissing was heard. When the call had been completed a murmur of conversation filled the air while the clerks at their desk went over the figures and cast up the vote. At 4:32 the chairman struck the table with his gavel and asked for quiet while by unanimous consent he announced a change in the vote cf Washington. The change was from eight Blaine votes to the foliowing: Blaine, 6; Harri- sion 1; McKinley, 1. ‘The noise of conversa- tion filled the air. At 4:39 the chairman rap} for order and said that Senator Ingalls had sent to the desk a resolution. It was read by unanimous consent and adopted. It provided that the secretary of the convention shall prepare a full report of | the proceedings of the national conventions of | 1856, 1860, 1564 and of the present convention | and cause them to be sold at the cost of print- ing.

Mr. Depew got the floor and moved that when the convention adjourn it be until 8 p.m. No attention was paid to the mo- tion and two minutes later the chairman an- nounced that the offical vote was ready. There was silence as the secretary said: Vhole number of votes cast, 90434; nec- essary to choice, 453. Benjantin Harrison re- ceived 535 1-6; James G.

The nominee for the vice presidency was seleoted in a meeting of the New York delegution held an hour before the convention was called to order. tacit consent the nomination of vice presi- dential candidate was left to the New York dele- gatic ‘The delegation at is meeting was not long in arriving at the conclusion to present the name of ex-Minister Whitelaw Keid. The only other name presented was that of Vice-President Morton and in the end the agreement upon Mr. id was unanimous. John C. New when interviewed last evening in relation to the preference of the Harrison leaders for second place on the ticket said that his personal preference was the old ticket, Harrison and Morton, but that he was willing to | let the New Yorkers settle it, and that Mr. heid would be acceptable to him. At 8:58 o'clock, a majority of the delegates being in their seats, Chairman McKinley called the convention to order. The galleries were about two-thirds full.

A delegate from West Virginia tried to move the unanimous eelection of Mr. Reid, but Settle insisted on’ taking the platform, and, on behalf of Tennessee, nominated “one of ‘the randest characters in American politics, Hon. jomas B. Reed of Maine.” Mr. Reed's name was greeted with loud cheer- ing, especially trom the southern delegates. “Grand as is the name of William McKinley,” he said, “than which there is none grander; grand as are the names of Sherman and Harri- son, there is no man to whom the Aimerican People owe a higher debt of gratitude than to omas B. Reed.” He seconded the nomina- tion, not in behalf of any delegation, but in be- half of the great republican party of this nation. Mr. Littlefield of Maine, rising from his seat, said in bebalf of the Maine delegation: “I ack the delegates in this convention to decline to cast an¥ vote for Thomas B. Reed until it can be assured that these gentlemen have his authority to present his name. is the opinion of the Maine dele; Reed would decline the nomination.” Mr. Lowthan of Virginia got the floor and said that he would not know Mr. Reed if he met him in the road. He was glad, however, to have paida tribute to this grandest of republicans. Mr. Settle said he had placed Mr. Reed in nomination at the request of his delegation without consulting Mr. Reed or the Maine dele- gation—‘becanse he was grand and great enough to excite our admiration and love. In deference to the wishes of the Maine delega- tion, however, I will withdraw the name of Mr. Reed.” REID NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION.
