Summary of Eacli Day’s Proceedings Presented In Brief. The national republican convention Vvaa called to order at Minneapolis at 12:24 p. m. Tuesday. For days before the opening of the convention the city was crowded vith delegates and visitors. From the time of the announcement of Blaine’s resigna tion as Secretary of State, signalizing that he bad-fully entered the presidential contest against Harrison, the wildest ex citement prevailed. It early developed that there would be a fight between the Blaine and Harrison factions. Follow ing is the summary of the convention proceedings: CALLED TO ORDER. The convention was called to order at 12:24 p. m. After prayer the call of the convention wus read by I). E. Young. Dr. William Brush, of Dakota university, led in prayer. Mr. Clarkson announced that the national committee hud recom mended Mr. Fussett, of New York, for temporary chairman. Faasett, who is a Blaine man, was elected temporary chair man by acclamation, the Harrison men not opposing him. There was great cheering, and a storm of applause greet ed him as he stepped forwaid to read the names of the committee on credent ials ard call the convention to order. Tremendous applaus ■ greeted Fussett as he named the Republican leaders and said: “Harrison and Blaine.” Ilia remarks about a “free and honest” ballot took the trowd immensely. Mr, Fassett devoted a great deal of his speech to the injustice of the democratic denial of suffrage in the south . These refer ences finally resulted in the audience call ing for Ued to come forward, ltced fin ally rose ami mounted the platform to speak. Reed’s speech was frequently cheered. Then there were loud calls for McKinley. The audience rose to their JAMKB O. BLA INK. feet and loudly cheered. At the conclu sion of McKinley’s speech, officers were denounced as having been selected by the d tiinal committee. They included sec retaries, assistant secretaries, reading e'erks Rnd official stenographers. These temporary officers were elected by accla mation, audit was ordered that until per manent orgnniz ition should be effected the convention should be governed by the rules of the a-t preceding republican convention. The call of the roll of states for mem bers of the various committees was tbeu beguu. Each state, as it was called, an nounced through its chairman, the mem bers it had chosen for service on commit tees. Immediately after the completion of the call ' f and the announcement of the membership of the various com mittees the convention adjourned until 11 o’clock We lt esday morning. SECOND DAY . Th - conve tion was called to order at 11:4) i. m. Wednesday. Minneapolis • tea ntel the contention with a gavel. Toe < hairmtn of the committee on cre dem itU stated they could not hope to report before Thursday. William Me lvin ey, of O’li , was seleo'ed as perma nent chairman of the convention and Spot n r and Mahone were appointed a committee to conduct McKinley to the chair. There was great cheering when t 10 i h lirman of the committee on per sent organization introduced perms ii. nt Chairman McKinley and tremendous kp ilause greeted him when he arose to speak. McKinley sad this convention would present a platform and candi date that would meet with the aoprobe tin , of the c uidry arid predicted liiccels iu November.

The rolls of states forthe nomination of national committee men were then called. The report of the committee on rules was adopted. A number of memorials and resolutions were presented and referred to the vari nu» committees without being read. On motion the credentials committee ad journed til] 11 o’clock Thursday. THIRD DAY. The Thursday Ihotning session was a very brief one. The dole at s ga'hered slowly and by 11 o'clock perhaps three-quarters of of the delegates were in their seats, and the galleries were not half full. There was lifle enthusiasm manifested. At 11:22 Chair nan McKinley, with a number of sounding blows with the new WILLIAM MCKINLEY. gavel,endeavored to call the convention to order, but it was some minutes before the buzz of convcrsa'ion ceased and the dele gates took their seats and gave atten tion to business. Rev. Mr. Brush, I). D., chancellor of the University of South Dakota, delivered the opening prayet. After the conclusion of the prayer "the chair said the regular order was the report of the committee on credentials. Mr. Cogswell was recognized. He said: “The committee on credential is still in session. It has been diligently at work ami lias achieved reasonable progress. Ii hop's to bo able to rcpoit in full to night and ask further tiinu.” General Sewell, of New Jersey, was immediately on 1 1 is feet. Since no business could be done until the committee was ready to report, tie moved the convention take a recess untill 8 o’clock p. m. Mr. Cullorn tried to intercept General Sewell, but the chairman stopped him. Then, pending the motion, Mr. Cullorn asked the convention to receive a resolution from him about the World’s Fair. Jf.v Cullorn sent up to the desk a resolu tion, which was ordered read. The reso- TaOMAS R REED. lution asks the endorsement of the con vention, and calls upon the people, ro gnrdlcss of party affiliation, to aid con gress to make the national undertaking a success. After reading the resolution it was referred to tho committee on resolu tions Mr. It'ibar', of Illinois, presented a resolution (also referred) providing that* the grand army men he admitted to standing room, that if any vacant -data thirty minutes after to be occupied by them. The chairman then announced the question on motion to take a recess. There were cries of “No” all over the house, coupled with the cries of “In galls." But in the confusion the chair man put tho motion and declared it car ried by a vote of 407 to 200. RI’SSFLL A. AI.OER. NIGHT SBt SION. The resultof the night meeting in brief is as fo’lows: The r- de itial* commit tee was organized. Blaine 2(5, Harrison 23. Harrison wou over three Blaine com mitteem> n, thus reversing- figures. This gave Harrison tho benefit of the majority report before the convention. That re port was to unseat 12 Blaine delegate* and to seat 12 Harrison men. Harrison polled 403 votes to Blaine's 423,thus giv iug him a clear majority. CALLED TO ORDER. The convention was again called to or der it 8:45 o’clock p. m. A resolution admitting members of the Grand Army of the Kepul. ic to seats in the convention w s adopte 1, and a message was read fp>ni the mayors of Titusville and Oil C ty, announcing to the world the state of distress and suffering that prevailed in those inundated districts, and making a pid ic appeal foraid. The announcement f the committee on credentiala that a minority tepirt would be submitted created considerable excitement, and there was a painful suspense while these two rep Tts we-e being orally submitted as to wnat would follow. The majority report recommended that the twelve Har risou delegab 8 in Alabama, Missis-ippi aid Lkiu siana be seated in place of the same number of Blaine men, and given places on the temporary roll. The minority recommended that the twelve Blaine men on the temporary roll be pi ced on the permanent roll. The gain in v.tes in the e mmitteo was made owing to tho fact that tho Harrison men had won ov. r three members of the ertden t nls committee and thereby secured a mijoiiiy. When Chairmau Cogswell moved that the majority report be adopt ed he was loudly cheered by the Harri son delegates, and whcD Chauneey I. Fillcy, of Mi sottri moved to substitute therefor the minority report the applause which followed from the Blaine delegates told the galleries that the long expected fight between the Blaine and Harrison forces was on. Mr. Filley made an argument in behalf of tiic minority report. The point ho ma c was tint the regular organization of the party in the Alabama ease had been barred from th-ir regular place of meeting by a United States deputy mar shal, hut Mr. Massey, of Delaware, main tain I that the case had been considered fairly upon its merits and that the ma jority report should be adopted. Mr. Ki igbt, of California, spoke warmly in favor of the minority report. Senator Wolcott, of Nevada, in speak ing for tbe minority report, warm ly denounced cot only the dep uty marshals in Alabama but hun dreds of office holders who were today present in the galleries and in the hall of iliis convention, crowding out the people’s delegates in their frantic attempt to ii nominate the president. The great est interest "as manifested when Colo iel 11. M. Duffied, of Detroit, the Alger manager, arose to speak in favor of the minority report. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, also defended the majority re port. Tnerc was wild applause when Chauneey Depew arose to support the majority report, which he did briefly. Ex-Senator Milier, of New York, spoke for the minority. Miller closed by mov ing, as a parliamentary motion, that the Cogswell report be divided and vote on the Alabama party alone. Chairman CIIAUNCKY M. DEPEW. Cogswell of credentials committee moved the previous question, which was second ed by a majority of the delegates of Mas sachusetts, Delewure and West Virginia, Senator Quay, rising to a parliamentary qucs'ion, wanted to know the effect of the previous question, if it would enable them to huve a vote on the sepa nte propositions involved in the report. The chair ruled that Senator Miller, hav ing demanded a division of the proposi tion involved in the Cogswell report, there could be separate votes taken. Both sides were ready for a vote, and a storm of yeas greeted Chairman McKinley when he asked if tho previous question h'tuld l o ordered. Betore this wus doue, however, by unanimous consent the ma jori y report in all cases win re there was no minority report was submitted and adopted by acclamation. An amendment wus moved to take a standing vote on the Alabama case, and when the affirmative vote was submitted, an apparent majority of the convention arose. lustantly the New York and Penn sylvania delegations demanded a roll cull, ami It was ordered by the conven tion. The interest as tho voto proceeded was intense. Harrison soon took the lead and kept it steadily. The result was Harrison polled 463 votes to Blaine’s 428, thus giving Harrison a clear majority. When the vote was announced the Har rison men cheered vociferously. They wt re d< termined to force a ballot. It took about an hour of maneuvering to prevent it, when the convention ajourned to meet at 11 o’clock a. m. Friday. TIIK LAST DAT. At 11 o'clock Friday motning, tho hour set for assembling, the results of the long night session and anxious caucuses were plainly visible in the haggard faces of the delegates who had put in an ap pearance. The convention was called to order and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Waylaud Hoyt of the First Raptist church of Min neapolis. Dr. .Hoyt prayed that tho man lobe selected ns the staudard bearer might be one chosen by tbe Lord and a man after His own heart. At tho con clusion of the prayer, when consideration of the committee ou credentials was be ing resumed, the chair made the gratify ing i nnouncouieut to the convention that Senator Quay authorized to say no fur ib r nppo-iti m wood !>• made to the adoption of the majority report in the Alabama ease. Prolonged cheers fol lowed this announcemeut of taoit ac kuowlegeraent of defeat fr> m the oppon ents of the majority report of the creden tial committee, aud their report was adopted by acclamation. A seperate vote was demanded by the Mormon contesting delegates of Utah, on their case, hut the majority report was adopted, and the Mormons were declared ineligible. The Alabama stale c mtestees reported that there was disagreement over the selection of a national commit eoman, and for a few minutes it seemed that the rows of A 1 ibama were once more to be brought before the convention. “If there is no objection,” said chairman McKinley, “the Alabama delegation will be granted time to correct the'r arithmetic.” (Laughter.) ‘ The regular order,” resumed the chair man, “is the presentation of candidates for president of the United States.” (Cheers.) It was then decided that the roll of the states should be called, and when Colorado »as reached, S nator Walcott arose aud in a stirring speech, and amid greit cheering presented the name of James G. Blaine. The followers of the plumed knight gave a spontaneous burst of applause. The call of states was re sumed, and when Indiana was reached the venerable Richard W. Tuompson, ex secretary of the navy, arose and pre sented the name of “ the warrior states man, B nj.min Hirrison.” A counter di moDvtration that surpassed the Blaine greeting, followed Mr. Thompson’s speech. The ca lof states was again re sumed. Mr. Eustis. of Minnesota, secon ’ed the nomination of Blaine. At the c.o-e of Mr. Eustis’s speech the chief Blaine demonstration of the dav took place. It seemed as if it were without end. The crowd yelled, waved umbrellas, threw hats in ihe air, danced, cheered, and af ter every man had come to think human p wer mus' soon overcome itself, the old stamping erv, “Bid e, Blair e, Blaine, J hi es Q. Blaine.” spread throughout the audience. W E. Mattison, a colored delegate from Miss issippi, also seconded the t omiuHtion of Blaine. I)i pew, in a lengthy and stirring speech, seconded the nomination of Har rison. Tremendous applause followed. At the conclusion Of the call of states, ex-Governor Sewell, of New Jersey, moved that the convention proceed to ballot When the state of Ohio was reached, occurred the most dramati* in cident ever witnessed in a national con vention, that of a presidential candidate challenging the legality af the vote cast for him by his <wn state. Ohio gave two votes for B njamin Harrison and forty four for William McKinley, but McKin ley chall- nged the vote, atating that he was a delegate from that state. Foraker was at once on his feet. “But von have been retired from this delegation, Mr. Ciiairmtn, by your election to the chair manship of this convention, and we no longer know you as a member of the Ohio delegation." “Tha chairman overrules the pi int of order,” said McKinley to For ker. “and asks the secretary of the convi ntion to call the roll.” Another ovation fell to the lot of the governor of O do, this time, however, from the Har rison delegates, in admiration of his loyal support of the president. There was hut little noise throughout the hall as the secretary of the convention calmly turned the leaves until the roll of the Ohio delegation was reached, and called the first name of the list, that of William McKinley, Jr. “I vote for Benjamin Harrison,” said the great pro tectionist, and tho gratifying cheers that •esouuded through the hall were quieted only w hen the object of all this enthusi asm waved his gavel depreciatingly to restore order. The call was continued. Cheer nfter cheer was given until Gov ernor McKinley said: “Mr. Chairman and GenOemen of the Convention—l move that the rules be suspended and that Benjamin Harrison be nominated unit ani.mou ly for president of the United States by acclamation.” The Harrison pcop'e gave one wild, hysterical cheer of exultation and approval, but there were cries of “No, no 1 B ill call! Roll call!” from Blaine and McKinley delegates in various parts of the hall. Various gen tlemen surrounded McKinley aLd a hur ri-rl conference was held. The latter again mounted the platform, beckoned for recognition and said: “Mr. Chair man, let me say one word. There are stutes, as I understand it, that have not been leached which desire to record their votis; aud I understand that they desire to record their votis in the direction of my motion. (Applause.) I, therefore, in order to enable them to do so. with draw my motion.” (Prolonged applause.) The roll call continued, and showed a steady and significant gain for Harrison. At the end it was obvious that he was nominated by a considerable majority, but it required the clerks it long time to foot up tbe re-u!t. “1 he clerks will an nounce tho result of the roll call,” said Chairman McKinley half an hour later, he having resumed the chair in the interval. “The whole number of voles,” said the clerk, “is 904 12. The number neces sary to a choice is 453. (Applause.) Benjamin Harrison receives 635 1-16 vot'-s. (Prolonged applause.) “James G. Blaine receives 182 1-6. (Applause.) “Wi'liam Mi Kinley receives 182. (Cheers.) "Robert L’ncoln 1 vote. “Thomas B. Reed 1 vote. (Applause.) “Benjamin Harrison having received a majority of all the votes cast,” said Chairman McKinley, “is the nominee of this convention; shall that nomination be made unanimous?” (Great applause and cheers and cries of “Yes, yes; let us make it unanimous.” “All in favor of making it unanimous say I,” said tho chairmau. There was a storm of ayes. Chairman McKinley never put the negative. “Ir is unanimous,” said he at 4:36 o’clock p. m . aud once more tho conven tion gave itself over to one of those scenes of enthusiasm which had become so familiar to the proceedings of the day. A delegate moved to adjourn until 8 o’clock p. in., and although there was a disposition to finish up the work at once, the motion prevailed and tho convention adjourued until that hour. WHITELAW lIEID SPRUNG. Immediately after adjournment rumor went forth that Whitelavv Reid, the gifted editor of the New York Tribune, ' h»nn selected by the delegates of New York as their candidate for vice president, and that he would receive the solid support of the Empire State. GiOiSIO SCENES. The movement started on the adjourn mem|of the day session to nominate White law Reid for the vice presidency, took rapid shape, and by the limi tho night session met it was an assured fact. The New York delegates unanimous'y agreed upon Reid. This endorsement was fol lowed by one from Pennsylvania. When the convention met Reid win nominated by a New York delegate and his name was received with great cheers. An attempt was made to ruu in ex-Speaker Reel, of Maine, but the scheme fell through and his nam ■ was withdrawn. Several delegates moved that Reid be nominated bv acclamation, to which the members agreed. After appointing Chairman McKinley head of the committee to notify Mr. Harrison of bis nomination, the body adjourned sine die. HOW TITE STATES VOTED.

The following is the text of the plat form as adopted by the convention: “We reaffirm the American doctrine of pro tection. We call attention to its growth abroad. We maintain that the prosperous condi i >n of our country is largely Clue to the wise revenue legislation of the republican congress. We be lieve that all artic'cs which cannot be produced in the United States, except luxuries, ehouidbe admitted free of duty, and that on a'l imports coming into com petition with products of Amer ican labor, there eh iuld be levied duties equal to the diffrrrence betwi e i wages abroa 1 and at home. We assert that the prices of manufac tured articles of genera’ consumption have been reduced under the operations of ibe tariff act of 1890. We denounce the efforts of the democratic majority of the houso of representatives to de stroy our tar. ft laws ss manifested by their at tacks upon wool, lead and lead ores, the chief product of a number of stales, and we ask the people for their judgment thereon. We point to the success of the republican policy of reciprocity, under which our exi>ort trade has vastly incre ised and n-w and enlarged markets have b en . pened for the products of our farms and workshops. We remind the peo ple of the bitter opposition of the democratic party to this practical business me mure, and claim that as executed hv the icpublican a 1- miuistration our present laws will eventually give us oontrol of the trade of the world. 'lho American people, from tradition and in terest favor bimetalism and the republican party demands the use of both go d and silver as standaid money, with such restrictions and undersuch provisions, to be determined by leg islation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals so that the purchasing and debt p vying power of a dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The Interest of the producers of the country, itslariutrs and its workingmen, demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government, shall he as good as any other. We commend the wise and patriotic steps al ready taken by our government to securo an international contereuce to adopt sudi meas ures as will insure the ; arity of value between gold and silver for use as monoy throughout the world. We demand that every citiz n of the Un ted States shall be allowed io cast one fro and un restricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast ; that such laws shall be enacted an 1 enforced as will secure to every citizen, bo he rich or poor, na’iveor foreign born, white or black, this sovereign right guarante d by the constitution. A free and unrestricted popu ar ba lot, jus and iquat representation of all peo ple. as well as their just and equal protection under the laws, are ttie foundation of our repub lican institutions and the party will never relent in its efforts until the integr.ty of the ballot and the purity of electious shall be fully guar anteed and protected in every state. We de nounce the continued inhuman outrages perpe trated upon American citizens for political rea sons in certain southern states. We favor an extension of our foreign com merce, the restoration of our mercantile marine by home-built ships and the creation of a navy for the protection of our national int rests and the honor of our Hag, the main onanco of most friendly relations with all foreign powers, en tangling alliances with none, and protection of the righis of our fishermen. We rt affirm onr approval of the Monroe doc trine and bedieve in ihe achievement of the manifest desliny of the republic iu its broadest s IIS '. v\e favor the enactment of more striugenfc Id m b and regulations for the restriction of crim inal, pauper and contract immigration. We favor efficient legislation by co igrtss to protect the life and limbs of the employes of transportation companies engaged in the carry ing of interstate c >inmerce and reconmi* nd leg islation by the resp ctive states that will pro tein employes engaged in state commerce, in mining and manufacturing. The republican party has alwayi been the ch. rnpiou of the oppr« ssed and recogniz s th dignity of manhood, ii respective of faith color or nationality; it sympathizes with the caus • of home rule in Ireland, und protests against the persccut on of the Jews in Russia. The ultimate reliance of ftco and popular government is the ntel.igence of the people and th mainti nance of freedom among its men. We therefore dec are anew our devotion to the liberty of thought and conscience, of speech and the press, and approve ali agencies and in s tin men alities which contribute to the educa tion of the children of the land; but while in sisting upon the fullest measure of religious liberty, we are opposed to any union of church and state. We affirm our opposition, declared in the re publican platform ol 1888, to all combinations of capital organ zed in trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily the condition of trade umon; our citizens. We heartily endorse the action already taken upon this subject, and ask for such further legislation as may be required to remedy any defects in the existing laws, and to render their enforcement more complete and ef fective. We approve the policy of extending to towns, villages and rural communities the advantages of the free delivery service, now enj »yed by the larger cities of the country, and reaffirm the da o aration contained in the republican platform of 1888. pledging a reduction of letter postage to 1 cent at the earliest possible moment consist ent with the maintenance of the postoffice de partment and the highest class of service. We commend the spirit and evidenoe of re form in civil service and the wise and consistent enforcement by the republican party of laws regulating 'he same. The construction of the Nicaragua canal U of the highest importance to the American people, as a nn asure of national defense and to build up and ma ntain an American commerce, and it should be controlled by the Uhited States gov ernment. We favor the admission of the remaining ter ritoiiesat the earliest practicable day, having due regard to the inter sts of the people of the territor es and of the United States. All fed eral office rs appointed for the territories should be selected from bona tide iesid nts thereof, and the right of self-government should be ac corded as far as practicable. We favor the cession,subject to the homestead laws of arid public lands to the states and terri tory s in which they lie,under such congression al restrictions as to disposition, reclamation and occupancy bv settlers as will secure maximum benefits to the people.
