SP
After Temporary Organization, the
Convention Adjourned, and
the Committee Went to
Work on Program.
MixNE.vroi.l8, June 7.—The Bepnbli-
can convention hall of 1S92 was opened
to i nr general public with an event long
i») 1 pleasingly anticipated in local mu
aical circles—a grand concert by a cho
rus of 1.000 voices, supported by tire
r cond regiment band of Chicago.
The Hall is regarded by experts as
superior to any of past conventions not
only as to its acouslie qualities, but in
the i..ate and elegance of its decorations.
The adornment of the interior has
just been completed, and a visit to the
hall gives visitors an accurate idea of
what art and ingenuity have done to
make the opening scenes of the conven
tv in a spectacle long to lie remcuiliere-l
The decorations in their jierfect
eiscuible, display all the genius of
Worth. They are in no souse elaborate,
either in color or in drapery, but are
dignified and liecouiing.
The national colors predominate, as is
fitting on such an occasion, and
ranged in pillars of bronze at points of
vintage are shields on which are in
scribed the cardinal principles of the
National Republican party. The open
dome of t'ue convention hall is support
ed by a series of columns, around which
have been gathered in graceful folds
chocoiate-eolored drapery intertwined
with s'leaves of Minnesota wheat.
The heavy timbers supporting the
dome arc paints! in blue colors spangled
with stars. The quadrilateral in which
the delegations will sit, faced by the
chairman, is immediately in front of
the chairman’s pi itform, the latter, iu
f;\r'. forming oae side of it.
lietw°en the central columns, ou
till r side, have been fcst xmed with
national colors tin folds of the flags,
d Tided ;>ud held in the talons of an
American eagle.
The vast audience, numbering over
13.00J people, and tilling every seat as
far as the eye could reach, surveyed the
inspiring scene which bids fair to be-
couio a memorable political battle
ground. Striking changes have been
made in the interior appearance of the
exposition 1 'biding, which is the boast
of Miiinea; • iis. Chauncey Depew was
the oiaior of the evening.
livery tiling done on the day before
the convention tended to increase the
animosity which has been constantly
brewing betaoeu the two leading fac
tions. Heated arguments between in
dividuals have resulted in personal en
counters on tjiree or four occasions dur
ing the day, and once or twice it set mod
as though a small sized riot might be
precipitated.
When the Blaine contii tent from the
state of Indiana mnrche 1 triumphantly
through the streets, and invaded the
rotunda of the West hotel, a wave of
indignation swept over the Harrison
people, w»ich carried away the judg-
nu-ut of some of their leaders for a brief
jieriod, uhd nearly resulted in a dis
graceful scene. The picture of Blaine,
which was borne at the bead of the col
umn, uud the announcement from the
throats of a score of cheeriug Indianians
that Blaine was the choice of the rank
and file, excited the vengeful ire of the
Harrison men cf the Hoosier state.
Accounts differ as to who first raised
the cry, but no one denies that someone
of the Harrison Republicans excitely
demanded that the Blaine banner should
bo torn down. Instantly some one else
snouted "cut it do.vul” and there was a
prompt movement toward the man who
soro tie portrait of Blaine. A fierce
scuffle ensued, but the Blaine banner
was boru away in triumph, and peace
restored. Throughout the day, however,
when occasion offered, the most intense
feeling was manifested by the two Indi
ana factious toward each other, and it
is feared by conservative leaders, that
much bad feeling has been aroused,
which will require counsel and concilia
tion between now and election day to
allay.
Fred Douglass delegated by the Har
rison leaders to keep the negroes of the
southern delegation in line. In a speech
to the Goorgin crowd he abused Blaine
for defeating the force bill of 1874, de
nounced mm as a trickster and declared
that the favorable comment upou him
by southern papers was enough to create
a suspicion of lus Republicanism. While
the negro delegates applauded this the
Whites eat silJnt.
A poll was taken of the Pennsylvania
delegation, and it stood Blaine 51, Har
rison u, Sherman 1. Quay was elected
chairman.
The most decisive Blaine victory of
the day was at the meetiug of the Ten
nessee delegation. Most of the dele
gates from the state of Tennessee were
instructed to vote for Harrison, and on
the arrival of the Harrison leaders from
that state a few days ago, it was main
tained by H. Clay Evans and others that
the vote would be 28 for Harrison to 1
for Blaine. The meeting gave the dele
gation to Blaine by the surprising vote
of, 13 to 10.
Hie national committee remained in
•*«sion until an early • in the morning,
and disposed of the cases of contested
" legations pending after the Alabama
aud Mississippi cases had been acted
“pom The principle fight mdo was in
tb fAUWa case.
‘ Age Harrison men. seein' a majority
of the committee against them, ceased
opposition further than to enter a pro
test against the action taken.
All the contestants were seated, and
the result is the loss of about thirty
votes to the Harrison column. The
men are claiming a gain cf forty.
The Harnsonites conceding twenty.
The contest will be resumed before
the committee on credentials, and con
tinued, if necessary, before the conven
tion.
The Convention In Sees Ion.
The scenes have been enacted in rapid
succession Bince Sunday morning, and
which beggar description since by the
most facile pea culminated at 12 o’clock
m.. when Mr. Thomas C. Platt, chair
man of the National Republican Execu
tive committee callen the nine hundred
and odd delegates to the convention to
order, and the preliminary work of
selecting a Republican nominee for
president of the United States was
begun.
From the early morning hours, the
streets have been one waving mass of
humanity, shouting and cheering, with
bnnneru waving and bands playing,
while the name of either Blaine or Har
rison was upou every lip, and wave
ifter wave of the wildest enthusiasm
rolled over the vast multitude that were
soon to witness one of the most re
markable political battles ever fought
jn American soil.
It was concedod by the Blaine follow
ing that the battle wac to be fought
,ipon an up-hill basis, Harrison having
clearly the advantage in the start, but
with un iwerving energy they went at
the.r work with a will and an enthusi
asm that looked dangerously critical for
the leader of; he majority, and it was
claimed that Blaine was making rapid
gain os the morning advauced.
Platt telegraphs the following to the
New York Press : "I am absolutely cer
tain the result wjll favor Blame. Have
assurances from more than 550 delegates
that they will vote for Blaine on the
first ballot. * J
Xmr Thinks Differently.
New telegraphs The World that the
Harrison strength was not injured by
the heavy at lacks and gains of a sub
stantial nature reported. The resigna-
tlon of Blaine came too late. His can
didacy will not satisfy those who took
him at his word last winter.
The raids made cn the southern dele
gations have not met with the success
the opponents exacted. Few changes
have bee a effected, nothing like what
they tried yet.
At 12:40—Mr. Clarkson announced
that the national committee had recom
mended Mr. Fassett, of New York, for
temporary chairman. Fassett was elec
ted by acclamation, the Harrison men
not opposing him. There was great
cheering, and a storm of applause greet
ed him as he stepped forward to read
the names of the committee on creden
tials and call the convention to order.
At the mention of republican reciprocity
by Fassett,he was cbeere 1 vociferously.
fremendiouS applause greeted Fassett
as he named the republican leaders and
said: “Harrison and Blaine.”
His remarks about a "freeand lionest”
ballot took the crowd immensely.
Mr. Fassett devoted a great deal of
his speech to the injustice of the Demo
cratic denial of suffrage in the south.
These references filially resulted in the
audience calling " Reed 1" "Reed 1" an I
calls for him to come forward. Reed
finally rose and came to the platform 1.1

cheered.

Convention Notes.
Harrison’s friends declare that if
Blaine is nominated, instead of a cam
paign this fall, there will he a funeral,
and Blaine’s retort that they will not
support Harrison in many cases, and
that he can not possibly be elected.
Both sides continue to claim that they
will elect their man on the first ballot,
but their seems now, for the first time,
a chunce for a "dark horse. ”
The hoi-d feeling already engendered
by this convention, no matter who is
nominated, will make democratic suc
cess much easier.
It is the opinion that it will not be
Blaine. It will either be Harrison or
some of the now unknown condidates.
Pittsburg, June 6.—The oil region
was visited by an awful disaster of
flood ana fire, Sanday morning early a
cloud burst at Titusville and another at
Oil City. Both cities are inundated and
the people have fled to the hills. Men,
women and children are on the house
tops praying to be rescued.
To add to the horror several refineries
were struck by lightning, the property
not destroyed by water being consumed
by fire.
At 3 o’clock in the morning half of
Titusville was reported in flames and at
Oil City it is feared that the entire town
is doomed to destruction.
The loss of life is large, but the re
ports are conflicting. One dispatch says
fifty persons were drowned at Titusville
and large numbers burned to death,
At Oil City eleven persons were re
ported burned.
Telegraphic communications are badly
interrupted. The Wester.i Union wires
are down, and for a time Oil City was
completely cut off.
At Titusville four of the largest re
fineries are on fire and a stretch of at
least one-half a mile in length is buruiug.
The flood appears to have been general
through'>nt northern Pennsylvania.
A telegram from Meadvillo says the
damaga there cannot uow be estimated.
A gorge which formed in a deep ravine
north of town, forming a lake of three
acres twenty feet deep, broke aud swept
over half the city. Tue New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad east of
Meadville is damaged beyond estimate,
No deaths are reported, but in the loss
of property the result is frightful. At
4:3d o’clock in the aft -moon a telegram
was received from Titusville, placing
the loss of life at 150 in that town. The
water came up suddenly from Oil creek
and flooded the whole flat as far as
Spring street, forming ■ a lake tvwatiy
half a mile in width and about two-
thirds of a mile in length.
A. short time later the Acme oil re
finery was struck by lightning and the
fire added terror to the scene. The
flames spread rapidly and soon the five
blocks from the ferry to Drake street,
including WashknfVxa. Iwkldls i

The only buildings said to bo left slanu

Titusville iron works and the depot of
the Western New York and Peunsyl
Vania railroad. A large number of
bodies have been recovered and the
work is still going on.
The latest from Oil City is to the effect
that the entire third ward of that city is
in ashes and eleven p-rsons are reported
burned to death and several drowned.
Great damage is also reported at Oorry,
Penn., and other towns in the region.
A later dispatch from OU City says
the loss of life there will probably reach
•200. Emlenton, another oil town be
tween Oil City and Titusville, is also re
ported having suffered greatly from the
flood. •
Straight (null THivuvSIto.
Titusville, Pa., June 6.—Never in
the history of Titusville has such ascene
of destruction presented itself as was
unfolded to the gaze as the Associated
Press reporter entered the main thor
oughfare.
The first sight witnessed was four
men carrying the dead body of a nmn
on a stretcher. Within fifteen minutes
the sight became so common that it
ceased to occasion any surprise.
At the present writing it is estimated
that fnlly 100 persons were either
drowned or burned.
The money loss will ran from $150,000
$200,000. An idea of the amount of the
territory covered by the flood aud fire
can be obtained when it is stated that
over two miles were destroyed. This in
cludes railroads, factories, refineries
private dwellings, etc.
BLAINE AND HARRISON AT HOME.
How Thejr Spent tbo Day Before the
Opening of the Convention.
Washington, June 7.—The president
and Secretaries Foster and Rusk at
tended the Cincinnati-Wasbiugton base

least change in his usual official routine.
The telegraph office on the upper floor
was open for several hoars, and a num-
l>er of telegrams were received from
friends at Minneapolis.
Mr. Blaine passed the day quietly at
home aud appeared to be in excellent
condition. He manifested no couoeru
whatever over the political situation.

assurance that be was in the fig iff with

had gfffSewal feeze - to hewn his eamfl-
dney. While it electrified all engaged
in the naming of the candidate for pres
ident. it was an astounding bit of news
to the Boosters and some of the Harri
son managers. Reddy Shiels was en
gaged in delivering one of his harangues
in the lobby of the west, while all afloat
him nothing but Harrison badges could
be Been. Then came the rumor that
Blaine had resigned, followed a little
Inter by the correspondepoe between the
secretary of state and president fur
nished by the Western Union, and
which was posted up in a conspicuous
place at tbe desk of the hotel counter.
There was a rush to read the tele
gram, and almost iustantly a diappjar-
anoe of Harrison budges. A more re
markable dropping out of sight was
never withueised. It was taken for
granted that the Indiana people had
Weakened.
Soon hotel lobbies were filled with all
sorts of rumors, in which the ludiauiaus
figured very largely. There was a big
mistake as to the Indlantana. True,
they were unable for a time to quite un
derstand what it was, and to some ex
tent disorganized by the news. This it
was that led to their suddenly passing
out of view.
They gathered in their bead-quarters
and in every other available convenient
spot, where in gronps they discussed
the resiguatiou, each one having his ova
opinions as to why Blaine resigned, all
having bat one opinion, however, as to
the result of his course, that Harrison
would now hare to fight to win. Some,
though, argued that this settles Harri
son’s chances, while others claimed with
earnestness that it would but strengthen
Harrison. Upstairs in the west in the
various rooms occupied by the Harrison
managers, there were exciting scenes
as the lesser lights in anxious way in
quired for information, which, of coarse,
could not be given.
Tbs Harrison Hen Stimulated.
A positive denial by General Alger of
the report that he had withdrawn from
the contest, lias had a stimulating ef
fect upou the Harrison people, as it is
generally understood that much if not
all of the Alger following will go for
Blaiue when the Michigan candidate is
Out of the field. In reality, there is no
change in the situation that Alger occu
pies. He has always been uuderstoo t
to be very friendly to Blaine, and it has
been repeatedly announced by his man
agers that Alger’s candidaey must not
be considered as antagonistic to the
great Blaine movement.
Prevailing opiuion is that the fight
will not be one of a "dark horse,” but
that Blaine and Harrison will he the
only candidates presented to the con
vention, and the battle will be short and
decisive.

Washington, June 8.—Ms. Blaise
spent tbe whole day Sanday quietiy at
bis home, except that towards evening
he took a drive into tbe country with
Mrs. Blaine. He received a few calls
from personal friends, but admittance
was refused to all other persons. All
efforts to interview him wese equally
unsuccessful, the ex-secretary adhering
to the determination which he an
nounced immediately after his resigna
tion. that he would let the published
correspondence speak for itself, without
a word oi explanation from him.
Mr. Blaiue has, however, seat to the

OFF FOR MARS.
Reserved for
She Wanted a Passage
Her.
The Great Interplanetary Transporta
tion company had opened its offices for
business and the passengers had begun to
arrive at the station. The people were
taking these flights through tbe air to
Mars and Venus for various reasons.
There were a few “drummers” among
them from business houses more enter
prising than their rivals, but the freight
rates to the planets are so high that only
the lightest class of goods can be sent with
profit.
Those who made traveling a pleasure,
and about their only occupation, were out
in force, as usual. “Globe trotters” they
used to be called, from their proclivities for
going around the only planet with which
they were familiar at that time. They went
around and around, apparently looking
fora place to jump off. The Interplane
tary Transportation company has fur
nished them with a means of doing so now,
and they take periodic flights to Mars and
Venus instead of rambling through the
graveyards of Europe, as they did before
the days of airships, which travel with
lightninglike rapidity.
The Tribune reporter war sitting in the
office of the ticket agent when a woman of
no uncertain age came up. She seemed to
be embarrassed, and looked around nerv
ously to see if there was any one near when
she approached the ticket window. She
inquired the prices of different classes of
passage to Mars. After much beating
about the bush she inquired in a shy way
about the seasons on Mars.
“Their year is nearly twice as long as
ours,” said the agent among other things.
“Ah—er—you are sure about that?”
■ “About what?”
“That is, are you sure that the year in
Mars is twice as long as it is here?”
“Oh, certainlyl”
*'Ah—er—am—then—that is—I suppose
a person who is fifty here—er—would be
only twenty-five there?”
The color came and went in her face as
she asked this question, and she looked as
eagerly at the face of the agent as If he
were a whole jury whose next words were
to decide whether she were to live or die.
“Yes, you are right, miss,’-’ he said, hold
ing his eyes upon the diagram before him.
“Then I’ll take a passage on the very
next ship,” she replied, “and don’t fail to
reserve it for me,” and she went out with
a radiant smile on her face.—New X<
