In every case where ther~ was a majority for Harri- son in the delegation the chairman of the delegation came to the platform. Where the Harrison nen were in the minority, a member of the Harrison party in the dele- gation represented it. . ’ Chauncey M. Depew was made chair- man. Assuming the position, Mr. Depew said that the object of the meeting was to bring the Harrison men together so that they could come in touch with each other, and so that they could all know for them- selves who the saints were, On motion.

At the conclusion of theroll call, Mr. Ma- gee announced that the total number of votes promised to Harrison was 520. This includes figures from New Nexico, Okla- ed in the meeting.

At 11:37 o'clock the convention was call- ed to order. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr, Wayland Hoyt, of Minneapolis. The majqrity report of the Committee on Credentials was then adopted. Warner Miller, of New York, sentup to the desk and had read a woman’s suffrage memorial. Mr. Miller asked that the offi- cers of the Woman’s Republican Associa- tion pamed in the communication be * pre- sented to the convention, and this was one. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was escorted to the Plstrors and read an address in a shrill, ut audible voice, with many oratorical gestures. The lady orator, as she warmed up with her subject, laid aside her notes and addressed the convention with a fluency and force which elicted frequent applause. When the chairman impressively an- nounced that the next order of buisness was the presentation of names for the nomina- tion for President, a mighty cheer went up from the convention. The roll call of states then followed for nominations. ‘When Colorado was reached Senator Wol- cott mounted the platform and placed in nomination James G. Blaine. The dramat- ic presentation of the name of Blaine, so un- expected, so decisive, took the convention by surprise. There was dead silence for a moment: Thenthe Blaine men broke loose anda for three minutes the hall rang with their cheers, renewed again and again. They stood up waving hats and hankeér- chiefs and fans. : As Senator Walcott finished the Blaine men were on their feet again, cheering and waving flags, handkerchiefs and even .um- brellas. Someone in the galleries began the cry of ‘Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine,’ but the chairman rapped for order, and the roll call proceeded slowly. When Indiana was reached there was ap- plauge, which was renewed ten-fold when the venerable R. W. Thompson walked up the aisle, took the platform and in a brief speech nominated President Harrison. The counter demonstration of the Harrison men cate with «nthusiasm. Fans and unbrel- las were mm the air, delegates stood on their seats, and Fred Douglas, waving his white haton top of his cane, led the cheering that was sustained for two minutes or more. The chairman sat down until the tumult subsided. Then he ordered the call contin- ued. ‘When Michigan was reached some one in the galleries cried out, “What's che matter with Alger?” but there was only a slight laugh from tHe convention. Then Minne- sota was called and W. H. Eustis took the floor to second the nomination of laine. Just as the applause for Mr. Eustis’ speech was dying out Mrs. R. C. Kerins, wife of the National Committeeman from Missouri, and Mrs. Carson Lake, of New York, who sat beside her, started the cheer- Ing again, waving their parasols. ew York being reached Chauncey. M. Depew proceeded with his speech, seconding the nomination of Harrison. At its close, the last paragraph being delivered with im- passioned earnestness and dramatic effect, the Harnson men started a counter-demon- stration to that following Eustis’s speech. An immense crayon portrait of the President was carried down to the platform, while thousands were on their feet shouting and waving every portable thing that could be handled. The work of Mrs. Kerns and Mrs. Lake was duplicated by Mrs. Depew, while a young girl in the gallery evoked cheers by waving an immense flag, In a few minutes the Harrison portrait was met by the Chi- cago Blaine Club marching up and down the aisle with a picture of Blaine, and to- gather they were carried until the yelling The time consumed was 28 min- utes, and then Mr. Warner Miller of New York, took the platform to answer his col- league and second the nomination of Blaine. As the roli call proceeded, some states seconded Blaine’s nomination and others Harrison’s. Then the ballot was taken, with many interruptions challenges, &c., which were satisfactorily adjusted, and at nearly five o'clock the result was announced. There was silence as the secretary read it, as fol- lows: Whole number of votes cast, 904%; necessary to choice, 453. Benjamin Har- rison received 535 1-6; James G. Blaine re- ceived 182 1-6; Williamh McKinley. 182; Robert T. Lincoln, 1; Thomas B. Reed, 4. The chairman said: *‘President Benjamin Harrison having received a majority of the votes cast has received the nomination of this convention. Shall it be unanimous?” [Loud cries of “Yes”’]. ‘The nomination is made unanimous.”’ A motion to take a recess untill 8 r. Mm. was immediately offered and agreed to, and the heated and excited assemblage dispersed. At the evening session Ex-Minister ‘Whitelaw Reid was unanimously nominat- ed for Vice President. Resolutions thanking the minor officers of the convention and the citizens of Minneap- olis were passed with enthusiasm. Mr. Clarkson offered a resolution of thanks to the people of Minneapolis for the complete and superior accommodations provided, and the generous and adequate provisions for entertaining visitors; also thanking the Ex- ecutive Committee. This was adopted. A resolution from the press thanking the local press committee was offered by Mr. DeYoung of Californa, and adopted.

Harrison, was born at North Bend, Q.."Aug® ust 20, 1833; graduated from Miama Univer- sity in 1852; studied law in Cincinnati and in 1854 removed to Indianapolis, which has since been his home. In 1860 he was elect ed Reporter of the Supreme Court of Indi- ana, and in 1862 entered the army a8 second the regiment was completed he was a ointed its colonel by Governor Oliver P,; Morton. He was hurried forward with it to join the foree under General Buell at Bowi- ing Green, Ky., then confronted by the Con- federates under Bragg. ‘His first independ- ent action asa commander was against a he surrounded, capturing many prisoners ‘ana all their horses and arms. His regi- ment was occupied chiefly in the West, guarding railways and fighting guerillas. He was so engaged until January, 1864, when he was put in command of his brigade, which was added the First’ Division of the Eleventh Army Corps. In his new rank hisfirst engagement of importance was at Resaca, May 14, 1864. and a few days later he took part in the capture of Cassville; then in the battles of Kenesaw Mountain and Peach Tree Creek, where his bearing So pleased Hooker that he wrote to the Secretary of War calling attention to his service and requesting promotion. The winter of 1864-65 he spent with Thomas in Tennessee in command of his brigade, and was made brevet brigadier in January of 1865, The war over he returned to Indianapolis Land resumed his duties as Supreme Court Reporter, having been re-elected to that office while at tha front. In the contests for the Presidency in 1868 and 1872 he traveled through Indiana making addrésses, but did not enter politics again on his own account until 1876, when he reluctantly allowed his name to be used in the fight for Governor- ship. Orth had been nominated but de- clined. When Harrison took up the fight it was too late to win, but le gave the Democratic Williams a: close tussle. Har- rison in that showed his popularity, for he was stronger than his ticket by several thousands. In 1879 President Hayes ap- ointed him to a place on the Mississippi iver Commission, and in 1880 he cast the vote of Iudiana for Garfield, refusing all of- fers of votes for himself. In 1880 the Republicans gained control of Indiana and he was elected United States Senator, taking hig seat March 4, 1881. In 1888 he was nominated for President and Slected, and now receives a second nomina- ion. Whitelaw Reid’s Career. ‘WHITELAW REID. the unanimous choice of the convention for Vice President was born near Xenia, O., Ocetober 27, 1837. He studied at Miami University, from which he grad- uated in 1856. He at once took a lively in- terest in politics, making speeches in the Fremont campaign on the Republican side and soon became editor of the Xenia News. At the opening of the civil war he became the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, with headquarters at Washington. His Jetters on current politics at that time at- tracted much attention by their thorough information and pungent style. From ‘Washington he made excursions to tne army wherever active operations were prom- ‘ised. He served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Rosencrans in the West Virginia campaign of 1861, and was at the battles of Shiloh ana Gettysburg. He was elected Librarian of the House of Representatives in 1863 and served three years. After the war he en- gaged in cotton planting in Louisiana, and wrote a book on the South, entitled ‘‘After the War’. He then returned to Ohio and wrote ‘Ohio in the War,” which is pro- nounced the most important State history of the war. On the conclusion of thisdabor, he went to New York on the invitation of Horace Greeley and became an ‘editorial writer on the Zribune. Upon the death of Mr. Greeley in 1872, Mr. Reid became editor and principal owner of the paper.’ In 1878 he was appointed by the Legislature of New York a life regent of the University. With this exception he declined all offers of public employment for a period of 20 years, preferring to devote his energids to the Tribune. He was offered by President Hayes the post of Minister to Germany. and a similar position by President Garfield, both of which he diclined. President Har- rison’s offer of the appointment as Minister to France was accepted, however, and in this important position Mr. Reid distin- guished himself. He recently resigned this position and returned tome a few weeks ago to resume his journalistic career, but only to be met with the unsolivited offer of the vice presidential nomination. ~~ © the Bexsamin HArrIsoN, son of: John: Scatt | lieutenant of the Seventieth Indiana. When body of Confederates at Russellville, which The following is form, as ted by ¥ention at Mu neapolis © The representatives of ‘the United States assembled in general con- vention on the shores of the Mississippi river, the everlasting bond of an unde- structible Republic, whose most glorious chapter of history is the record of the Re- . publican party, congratulate their country- men on the majestic march of the Nation under the banners inscribed with the prin- ciples of our platform of 1888, vindicated by victory atthe polls and prosperity in our fields, workshops and mines, and make the following declaration of principles: PROTECTION AND ROCTT - firm the American doctrine of protection. We call attention to its growth abroad We maintain that the our country is largely due to the wise rev- enue legislation of the Republican Congress. We believe that all 18s'which cannot be, srodaced in the Pnited States except Iux- aries should be admitted free of duty: and at on all imports oming © in competition with the products of American ould be levied duties equal to the differ- ence between wagesabroad and at home. ‘We assert that the prices of manufactured articles of general consumption have been reduced under the operation of the tariff act of 1890. 5 ‘We denounce efforts of the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives to destroy our tariff laws by piecemeal, as is manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead and lead ores, the chief products of a num- ber of States; and we ask the people for their Jugoient thereon. . e point to the success of the Republican policy of Teciprocith, under which our ex- port trade has vastly increased, and new and enlarged markets have beén opened for the products of our farms and workshops. We remind the people of the bitter opposi- tion of the Democratic party to this practi- cal business measure, and claim that, exe- cuted by a Republican administration, our present laws: will eventually give us control of the trade of the world. Tue Currrncy.— The American people, from tradition and interest, favor bi-met- allism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined by legisla- tion, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-payin the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paver, shall be at all times equal. he interest of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the Govern- ment, shall be as good as any other. We commend the wise and patriotic steps al- ready taken by our Government to secure an international conference, to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of valve between gold and silver for use as money thronghout the world. A Free Banror.—We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast; that such laws shall be enacted and enforced as will secure to every citizen, be he rich or poor, native or foreign-born, white or black, this sovereign right guaranteed by the Con- stitution. } HLT The free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal representation of all the peo- + ple, ‘asywell "ag their just and equal protec- {tion inder the laws, are the foundation of our republican institutions, and our party ill never relax its efforts until the integ- rity of the ballot and the purity of elections shall be fully guaranteed and protected in every State. Sve denounce the continued inhuman outrages perpetrated upon Ameri- ean citizens for political reasons in certain States of the Union. ~~ : : Foreiey ReraTions.— We Jdabory favor the exten tion of our mercantile marine by hgme- built ships, and the'ereéation of a navy. the protection of our national interests and “the honor ofigur hion maintenance’ of ipowers entangling alli the protection of the rights of our fisher- men. We reaffirm our approval of the Mon- roe doctrine, and believe inthe achirvement of the manifest destiny of the Republic in its broadest sense. an We fayor the enactment of more stringent laws and regulations for the restriction of criminal, pauper and contract immigration. SAFETY OF LAsor—We favor efficient leg- islation by Congress to protect the life and limbs of employes of transportation com- panies engaged in carrying on inter-state commerce, and recommend legislation by the r« spective States that. will protect em- ployes engaged in State commerce, in min- ng and manufacturing. Cavses oF Humaniry—The Republican party has always been the champion’of the oppressed, and has recognized the dignity of manhood, irrespective ot faith, color or na- tionality. It sympathizes with the cause’ of home rule in Ireland, and protests against the persecution of the Hebrews in Russia. L1BerTY—The ultimate reliance of free popular government is the intelligence of the people and the maintenance of freedom among men. We, therefore, declare anew our devotion to liberty of thought and con- science, of speech and press, and approve all agencies and instrumentalities which con- tribute to the education of the children of the land; but while insisting upon the fullest religious liberty, were opposed to any union of airy Church and the State. ‘ Trusts—We reaffirm «ur opposition, de- clared in the Republican platform of" 1888, to all combinations of capital, organized in trusts or otherwise, to. control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens. ‘We heartily indorse the action already. tak- en upon this subject and ask for such farth- er legislation as may be required to Temedy any defeels. in existing laws. and to render their enforcement more complete and effec- tive. FrEE MAIL DrrLivERY—We approve the policy of extending to ‘towns, villages and rural communities the advantages of the free delivery service now enjoyed by the large cities of the country, and reaffirm the declaration contained in the Republican platform of 1888, pledging the reduction of letter postage to 1 cent atv the earliest possi- ble moment consistent with the maintén- ance of the Postoftice Department and the highest class of postal service, Orvir ServicE—We commend the spirit and evidence of reform in the civil service, and the wise and consistent enforcement by the Republican party of the laws regulat- ing the same. Nicaragua Canar—The construction of the Nicaragua Canal is of the highest impor- tance to the American people, both as a measure of national defense and to main- tain American commerce, and it should be controlled by the United States Government. TrrrIToriks—We favor the admission of the remaining Territories at the earliest practicable date, having due regard 10 the interests of the people of the Territories and of the United States. All the Federal offi- cers appointed for the Territories should be selected from bona fine residents thereof, and the right of self-government should be accorded as far as practicable. : Arip LAxps—We favor cession, subject to the homestead laws, of the arid public lands to the States and ‘Territories in which they lie, und r such Congressional restrictions as to disposition, reclamation and occupancy by settlers as will secure the maximum ben- efits to the people. Tun WorLy's Fair—The World's Colum- bian Exposition 1s a great national under- taking, and Congress should promptly enact such reasonable legislation in aid thereof as will insure a discharging of, the expense and obligations incident thereto, and the attain- ment of results commensurate with the dignity and progress of the nation . , InTEMPERANCE—We sympathize with all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of intemperance and pro- mote morality.
