At the evening session Whitelaw Reid, ex-Minister to France, was unanimously chosen as running mate for the President The day's proceedings were lively, but the excitement of Thurs day night was not " duplicated.

HIGH HONOR FOR BLAINE, Though He Didn't Receive the Nomination Pennsylvania Not to Blame for the "lleult The Southern States Did It KnthnslnsmorTen Thousand. FROM A STAFF COBRESPONDEIfTJ Minneapolis, June 10. James G. Blame as never more honored in his life than to-day. The peerless Maine statesman name" It the people, although another Ml' "-elected bv the convention. That the Plumed Knight will not lead the Republican hosts to ictory is not the iault or 10,003 devoted adherents who accorded the chief of their choice such a demonstra tion as is seen but once in an epoch. For nearly half an hour to-day this faithful 10,000, knowing that defeat stared them in the face, but hoping still that a miracle might turn the tide, testified their loyalty to the greatest living American in a manner that might have moved hearts of stone. Continuous cheers mingled with the magic name that had so often proved an inspira tion. The voices of fair women joined with those of earnest men. Hats, handker chiefs, parasols, umbrellas aud flags were thrown high in the air, as evidence of the feelings of their owners. Veterans of the war tossed away their crutches in the ex citement of the hour. The Lint Effort to Win Ont It was a last magnificent effort to win, well worthy ol the cauBe which called it forth. But it was in vain. Hundreds of delegates who had no offices, and hundreds more who expected them, who had already refused to listen to dictates of reason as to the man for the hour, were neither to be moved bv cheers nor tears. The almost frantic appeal of the import ant many had no efiect upon the powerful lew. Ifanything.it seemed to make them more determined to perform their allotted task. Ol the 52."J votes cast for the successful candidate for the Republican nomination as President of the United States, 252, prac tically half, came from the Democratic States and Territories of the South, which are not relied upon to cast a single electoral vote for the ticket which they had bo large a part in naming. In these same States James G. Blaine received but 49 votes. In but one of them Virginia did he receive majority support, and in many of them he found not a single adherent Texas the Stale That Settled It. More than all that, the votes on the roll call which decided the result were cast by Texas, the Banner Democratic common wealth of the country, with a majority of 100,000 and the chairman of the delega tion who held it in line and announced the result is the International Revenue Col lector for the Lone Star State. The day was not without its consolation. Ingcrsoll won lasting fame at Cincinnati by his speech for the Plumed Knight in 1876, but lie found a peer to-day. Senator E. O. Wolcott, of Colorado, who was accorded the honor of placing the name of Blaine before the convention, responded with an oratorical effort which alter nately called forth tremendous bursts of enthusiasm and started the tears Ircm the eyes of his auditors. There was not a man piesent who did not regard it as a masterpiece of eloquence, delivered in fault less style. The noted Depew, relied upon by the Harrison co-herents to take all before him with the well-known magic of his tongue, confessed his inability to approach the plane of the Rocky Mountain orator. AH Other i-perchrg Seemed Tame. In comparison with Wolcott's address all others seemed tame, though many earnest and telling appeals were made from the plat form and received in the most generous man ner. So strong was the efiect of "Wolcott's words, that for a brief space of time the de voted followers of the popular idol thought they saw the victory which they well knew had slipped from them again in their grasp. But inspiring as was the eloquence of the Western Senator, it did not moveadelegate who had an office, either in possession or anticipation. Wolcott was the first to take the plat form alter the entire business, of the con vention had been cleared away. The wild demonstration which he created had hardly died away when Colonel Richard Thomp son, of Indiana, the oldest delegate, pre sented the name of President Harrison for renomination. The cheering which fol lowed was vigorous and long continued, but it lacked the fiber and spontaneous en thusiasm which marked the greetine of the man who was fated to receive the approval of the people and the disapproval of the convention. The Mnt Dramatic Incident. Then came the most dramatic incident of the day, and, as those who witnessed it be lieve, the most dramatic incident of any day. William Henry Eustis, Minnesota's favorite orator, mounted the platform to second the nomination of Blaine. The vast assemblage was now at an in tense pitch of excitement Eustis lacked the magnificent voice and manner of Wol cott and the polished periods of Depew. But he had a style of oratory that was even more irresistible. After having almost exhausted himself in a glowing picture of the candidate of his choice, he turned to the Illinois delegation, directly in front, and in a voice trembling with emotion besoughl them to throw aside all others for the man whom the people had chosen. The immense gathering listened breathlessly to every low-uttered word, and when the speaker finally ceased, because overcome by his own feelings, the long pent-up torrent burst forth. The refrain of "Blaine! Blaine! James G. Blaine!" leaped from thousands of throats. After ten minutes the band at tempted to play. Its strains were lost in the tumult of voices. Nine-tenths of the gathering joined in the tremendous ovation. All Previous Demonstrations Eclipsed. Tom Reed, of Maine, surrounded by a group of ladies in the rear of the stage, waved nags and handkerchiefs and in cited the multitude to renewed efforts to eclipse any demonstration ever recorded. For over 25 minutes the picture was one that absolutely cannot be described by words. Those who witnessed it will never forget it When Depew seconded the nomination of Harrison, a little later, he appeared to realize that he was at a disadvantage, and his tones at times were al most apologetic. He presented .the claims of the President in a most forceful manner, though, and the lollou ers of the THE NOMINEES, THE PARTY LEADERS AND THE SCENE AT THE END Indiana candidate rallied around him with a round of applause that would have been deemed remarkable if it had not been so far outrivaled. When.Depew asked, "Who will be given credit for the great acts of the administra tion?" intending to bestow praise upon Harrison, a mighty shout of "Blaine" echoed from floor togallery, and the speaker was obliged to wait several minutes before the tumult ended. Ovation, for the Tiro Candidates. As Depew concluded, amid excitement, a picture of the President was carried upon the platform and his friends surpassed their former efforts, but only for a moment did they have the field to themselves. A Blaine banner, bearing his portrait, was dragged from the rear of the hall, and in an instaut the cheers for the Maine statesman were rising about the heads of his opponents. This'remarkable contest of enthusiasm continued lor perhaps 20 minutes, with the entire convention upon its feet, the many spectators of the gentler sex being, if possible, even more demonstrative than the dense masses of earnest men. When order was at last restored other seconding speeches followed. Boyd, a colored delegate from Tennessee, scored a hit by saying that if, the en tire Republican party could be gathered together to name a candidate only one would be considered Blaine. The comie side was furnished by Dele gate Downey, of Wyomimr, who started his speech by saying: "I come from a far-away State, a good many miles 'from here," and other bulls of a similar nature, until the patience and even the laughter of the convention was exhausted. The Harrison Phalanx Invincible. Meantime, there had been a deal of scheming on the floor. Unable to break the solid Harrison phalanx with the magic name of Blaine, the anti-administration leaders decided to also try that of McKinley on the first ballot, hoping to be able to swing in for their first love later. Foraker, and practically the Ohio delegation, joined in the movement So did Alger's supporters, in Michigan. But in the other States none but Blaine sup porters listened to the suggestion of harmony and a compromise, and the scheme, if it was ever possible, came too late. It took ten votes from Blaine to one from Harrison. The office holders who had Tefused to vote for the author of reciprocity could not be per suaded to do so for the champion of protec tion. It is the general feeling to-night that it would have been better to cast all the votes for Blaine and gone down with flying colors as a fitting conclusion to a gallant struggle. The struggle was never in doubt after the first States on the roll were silled. The Battle Settled in a Hurry, Alabama and Arkansas started, with 15 votes each, for the second term and Georgia followed close, with a delegation of 2C By the time the bulwarks of the Michigan,. Xew York, Ohio and Pennsylvania were reached the contest was practically over, though loud cheers greeted the at tempt to get a stampede to McKinley. It was fittingly reserved for Texas to give the finishing Btroke and cast the votes which made the majority for the nomination. As soon as this was done, amid Harrison cheers and general tumult, Chairman McKinley surrendered the gavel to Colonel Elliot F. Shepard, and took the floor Mngee the President's Leader. The President has much to be thankful for to C. L. Magee. He furnished the prac tical politics lor the administration, while Chauncey M. Depew kept blundering on the floor. The New Yorker demonstrated that he does not know mnch about running conventions, even if he is an expert rail roader. Depew did the talking, but C L. Magee was constautly at his elbow, suggest ing what moves to mate on the political chess board. Senator Quay led the Blaine delegation, and he fought hard for supremacy. He occupied a position not far from Chairman McKinley, and he spent most of the time in front of the Chairman's desk, where he watched every point carefully and worried the opposition with deft motions and at times perplexed them with his cunning. It was a game struggle, from start to finish, and more than once the Harrison people were badly rattled. C. L. Magee is the hero of the President's forces, and he deserves credit for Harrison's success. Mr. Magee thinks they would have been beaten had the Harrison caucus not been held yesterday. It brought their delegates shoulder to shoulder, and gave them con fidence in themselves. Mr. Magee had a hard time convincing many of the Presi dent's friends that a caucus was their only salvation. Some were afraid it would re veal their weakness, and then the Blaine managers would rush things to victory. The outcome proved otherwise and now Magee is a "lug dog" with the administration backers. Quay and Son Dick Disc.uted. When Texas cast the deciding vote for Harrison, Senator Quay, with his son Dick, lelt the convention ball in disgust They were followed by Boutelle, of Maine, who was in an ugly humor. He was mad at. Internal Revenue Collector Cuney, ot Texas, who had beaten Blaine. Quay in structed General Reeder to cast his vote tor 4 him on what followed as he thought'best While Quay and Boutelle were going out somebody moved to make Harrison's nomi nation unanimous. Boutelle turned to Quay and said; "Hold on, Quay, and let us vote against this motion. They have no right to change the order of business." "Oh, come on," the Senator replied. "Let them do as they please. We can't help ourselves." With this remark they strode out of the hall and entered a carriage. , nan enir ! ma " enA Afi. 1nnfall6 a wu waw vj v j, Daiu .ui. .uubw., i "that I will be waiting anxiously to see how many electoral votes Internal Revenue Collector" Cuney can deliver from Texas next November. It is outrageous that the Democratic States should make the nomi nation. I am not making predictions, but those who run can read the signs ot the times. I have gone down with Blaine many times before, but I never felt prouder in defeat" The Move to Break to McKinley. It was agreed by the Blaine managers early in the morning that the best move to make would be to get the Ohio delegation to vote for McKinley and thus cut down Har rison's strength and prevent a nomination. Foraker had not much trouble to deliver the goods, and even Cox, of Cincinnati, cast his ballot for the Major. The Governor protested against this action, and demanded a poll of the delegation. It resulted in 45 votes for McKinley and 1 for Harrison. The vo.te for Harrison was delivered by Bob Nevin,' of Dayton, as alternate for McKin ley, and he exDlained to the delegation that the Major had instrncted him to' vote that way? Shortly before the ballot was taken the Pennsylvania delegation retired for a con ference. Harry Oliver, wio finally landed in the Blame ranks, claims the delegation knew nothing ot the intentions of the Ohio people, and here is where .the mistake was made. Senator Quay did not attend the caucus and a poll of the delegation resulted in 17 votes for Harrison and 42 for Blaine. Hamilton Disston, who at one time decided not to attend the convention, was present and voted for Harrison. He had tried to induce McKinley to enter the list, but when he had an opportunity to support the Gov ernor he did not do it Action of the Keystone State. When the Pennsylvania delegation re turned to Its seats, the State was called. Then it was hastily decided by the majority to vote for McKinley. W. J. Scott, a Blaine man, refused to cast his ballot for Governor McKinley unless the Harrison men did likewise. He oflered to dropt the Plumed Knight for McKinley if one of the President's delegates would'also. He appealed to the Harrison men in vain, and then he said he would go down with the Maine man, with colors flying. Senator Quay thought it would have more effect on the convention to call the roll, and demanded that the delegation be polled. Ohio and Oregon had just flopped to Mc Kinley, and the critical time for Harrison had come. Disston was the first Pennsylvanian called, and he voted for Harrison. So did W. L. Elkins, who came next The President's delegates yelled with delight, and then it commenced to be apparent that the jig was up. The result of the vote was Harrison 19, Blaine 3 and McKinley 42. Two of the Blaine men were W. J. Scott, of Belbend, and Augustus M. High, of Reading. The Harrison voters were Hamilton Disston, W. L. Elkins, G. S. Graham, J. A. Strassberger, E. W. Kee ler, W. H. Stroh, Dr. J. P. Miller, G. R. Gensling, E. N. Willard, Benjamin Hughes, Alex Scott, Dr. Leuker, W. O. McConnell, W. L. Gouger, C L. Magee, George Von Bonnhorst. John J. Carter. W. W. Brown, and L P.

Nobody must think for a .moment that the Pennsylvania delegates deserted Blaine. Their object was to gain time by taking des perate chances. That they lost is because Harrison had the convention, and the result could not have been changed anyhow. Quay and the other Blaine men afterwards re gretted that they did not stick to him and go down in the same ship with their chief. The result would look better in years to come. The evening session witnessed a very brief contest between Reid and Reed. It bad been decided by the successful Harrison leaders to displace Morton and nominate Whitelaw Reid, of New York, for Vice President. Tennessee and New York, though, presented the name of Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, as their ideal candidate. The home delegation announced it as their belief that the ex-Speaker would not ac cept any such nomination at the hands of this convention. The name of Reed was then withdrawn, and Reid named, with only two dissenting votes. BLAINE BOWS TO THE RESULT. He Says It's the Duty of Republicans to Elect the Ticket. Bostox, June 10. Ex-Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Blaine left for Bar Harbor on the 7 r. M. train, over the Boston and Maine Railroad. Miss Dodge (Gail Hamilton) returned to-day from Hamilton, whither she went Wednesday, and accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Blaine on their trip to-night. Be fore he left the city this evening.Mr. Blaine gave this communication to the representa tive of the Boston Journal: The resolution, energy and persistence which maiked the proceedings of the con vention at Minneapolis will, if turned .igalnst the common foe, win tlie election In Xovem bcr.

It was an nounced this morning, immediately after the convention assembled, that Pennsyl vania had chosen David Martin National Committeeman in place of Senator Quay. Minnesota named R. G.

A report wa3 current to-night that Clarkson and other Blaine men on the National Committee would resign, and when seen Mr. Clarkson smiled faintly, and said: "There is not a word of truth in that report I am satisfied with the ticket, and you may say that Blaine men never shirk their duty. I! "will work as hard for Harrison as I would for anybody else, now that the nomination is made. The candidate gener ally selects his Chairman, and I won't be the man. I don't want the place.

At 10 o'clock to-night the telephone in Hon. Whitelaw Beid's country residence, near this village, began to ring. The ex Minister and his family received the infor mation that he had been nominated for Vice President by acclamation. The telephone was kept going long after midnight, until the inmates of Mr. Reid's house became weary of answering the calls. Many prominent Bepublicans called upon Mr. Reid and congratulated him upon his nomination. He also received many dis patches of the same import ONE OF FOSAEEB'S IBICES. He Gets Kven Oeor(r H.

Mr. Magee Says Quay's Influence In the State Is Unbroken Fassett Pledges New York's Loyalty to the) Ticket Senator Wolcott TJnpacifled atPreSent Blaine's Defeat Most of All Regretted Warner Miller Says Republicans Always Support Their Nominees John C. New More Than Delighted. THOU A STAJT COBBESrOOTZST.J 3Iinneapoli3, June 10. "How will the Republican party support the ticket?" is the question The Dispatch correspondent has been to-night asking the leaders most conspicuous in the fight for and against the renomination of Harrison. C. L. Magee says that the result of the convention will have no effect on the poli tics of Pennsylvania. Senator Quay has lost none of his influence in the State, and it is the general opinion of Pennsylvanians here that the Senatorial struggle has not been changed. E. N. Willard, of Scranton, who is a strong Harrison man, said Quay would have a walkover for re-election. He said he voted for Harrison because he thought the President was the best man for the place. Senator Qnay accepts the situation, and says he will work for the success of the party. The Senator did not attend the evening session. He remarked that he had nothing to say about the work of the con vention. He wants time to think it over. Senator Piatt was tired out, and went to Senator Washburn's to rest Warner Mil ler took the first train home. J. Sloat Fassett, in speaking for hem, said that New York would be loyal to the ticket Everybody Couldn't Be Pleased. The fact is, the anti-Harrisou delegates and leaders are not at all pleased with the nominations. The Western men are equally dissatisfied. At heart the Blaine people feel that defeat is possible in November. They will make a pretense of hustling in the campaign, but will not put in their best efforts. Their enthusiasm is morabund, though it may resuscitate later, when the first disappointments of defeat have worn off. Probably the most bitter talk comes from'' Colorado's Senator, Wolcott He rayed and stamped around after the afternoon session of the convention, and uttered many ex pressions which he would hardly care to see in print Later this evening he was in a calmer frame of mind, and merely snmgged his shoulders when his opinion on the ques tion of the hour was requested. Senator Teller, however, expressed his views in a positive manner. He said: ''I do not know whether this ticket can carry Colorado or not It certainly will not pull within thousands of votes of the number that would have been given freely to Blaine. I understand that the Harrison leaders have decided to turn down Morton and name Whitelaw Reid for the second place. They ought to put up Elliott F. Shepard and be done with it. They would then have a crank ticket at both ends. If the States that have to elect Harrison had been consulted Blaine would have beaten him." DeTnune Speaks for the Slope. M. H. DeYoung, the California Blaine leader, was in a more pacific mood. He said: "I am for the party's nominee, and believe he will be elected. Blaine put both himself and his friends in a bad position and we were unable to overcome the handi cap. The time for fighting on these lines has passed by, and we must now present a solid front to the common foe. I am hope ful of the result in November on the far western slope." George A. Knight, the California actor who attacked the officeholders in a radical speech on the floor last night, does not agree with Mr. DeYoung. He packed his valise and left town before the evening ses sion of the convention, vowing that the Pacific coast wonld never support such a candidate nominated by such methods. His colleagues think that Mr. Knight will cool off somewhat before he reaches San Fran cisco. Ex-Senator Warner Miller, of New York, was a hard man to find this evening, and when he was at last discovered he declined to say anything further than that the Re publicans usually supported the party ticket, no matter who had been their choice before the nomination was made. Putt Hasn't Much to fay. T. C. Piatt was almost equally reticent He said that when the majority of the party representatives, no matter under what mis apprehension, had spoken, there wa3 not much to do butobcy. He declined to ad vance any opinion as to the outcome in November in New York, but said that the issues of '88 would be fought over again. Chairman Clarkson said: ''We will have a hard battle in Iowa this fall, bnt we will work shoulder to shonlder for our princi ples. The Republicans of the nation will stand by reciprocity and protection, though deprived of their choice at the head of the ticket" Governor Bulkley, of Connecticut, said: "The doubtful State ot Connecticut will do its best, though we largely supported Blaine. I am very hopeful of success, not only in Connecticut, but throughout the United States." The nomination of Reid for Vice Presi dent, while made with comparatively little opposition, does not seem to have made much impression upon the opponents of Harrison. They say that the contest was made upon the issue indorsing the adminis tration, and that one end of it was turned down by the managers of Harrison. There is little indication, though, of any kicking that will be openly carried to the polls. Consul New In Fine Spirits. John C New, who has figured as largely as anybody in Harrisonian councils, was in fine spirits. He said that the President had given the country a splendid, safe, honest and courageous administration: he had the people with him and he would be elected. Mr. New said they had made a hard fight, and had to meet men who were skillful op. .? J 1 7 f r-i -&.&& i&5&iMl"iti& 'i M,tl&Ziuat.i,dLai AmJf.
