NIGHT SESSION.
The convention re-assembled at ten
minutes past six and proceeded to the
regular order, the presentation of
names for the Vice Presidential nomi-
nation.
Griggs, of New jersey, presented the
name of William Walter Phelps. He
claimed that New Jersey was as much
necessary State as was Indiana. By
the action of the CONVEX ton, this after
noon, the fifteen electoral votes of In
diana had been added to the votes of
surely Republican States, and ii to
these were added the votes of New Jer-
soy, the election of the Republican
ticket was assured. William Walter
Phelps was not in favor of the policy
which would take the roof off the labor
ing man, but in favor of that system
which proposed to put roof over the
laboring man Of the United States and
make him the owner of his own
horne. With the nomination of
Phelps, the Republican party secured
the electoral vote of New Jersey, and
probably those of Nav York and Con-
was Harrison and Phelps. Put Harri-
fetch of Democracy, against Thurman,
heresies, would be placed. Phelps is
against the old bandana would be placed
the starry flag OF America. (Applause).
Phelps was an accomplished gentler. an,
and tried statesman, and If the
ticket was Harrison and Phelps, It
would carry Indiana and New Jersey
dead sure, and he would take the word
of Dspew that il would carry New
Yew York. Republicans proposed to
carry the solid north and pluck from
the Democracy Kentucky, Tennessee
and West Virginia. (Applause).
EFanyot Nebraska earnestly seconded
the nomination of Phelps.
Oliver, of Iowa, congratulated the
onVeL ton on having secured OH
ltra,egic point by the nomination of
Harrison, and he argued that it would
bs wise move to capture a second
strategic point by the nomination OF
Phelps for the second place on the ticket.
Essential, OF Texas, on behalf of Ger
Americans of the United States
raid a high tribute to Paelps, whose
domination be seconded. With a
solder like Harrison at the head OF the
ticket and a statesman like Phelps in
the second place, victory was sure. Gap
plause.)
Falier, of North Carolina, seconded
the nomination in the name Of the
young and progressional Republicans of
North Carolina. (Applause.)
Boutelle, of Maine, paid high tribute
to Phelps for his ability, his patriotism,
and his tried and proved Republican,
ISM. William Walter Phelps could
carry the banner of the Republican
party to victory in New Jersey this fall,
if any man living could do it. Cap
plause.)
There being no further seconds of
Phelps, the call Of States was continued,
and when New York was called Senator
Warner Miller responded. He referred,
and the audience greeted the reference
with warm applause, to The candidacy
OF Depew for the presidential nomina-
ton, and he said that gentleman's
name had been withdrawn in sorrow,
not in anger. (Applause.) He assured
the convention that the Republican
party in the State of Nav York had
often been divided. All factions had
been in harmony in its action at Chi
cago. The candidate which New York
to present for Vice-President,
was man with whom he (Miller) had
crossed swords. If the convention
would concede to the wish of New Y ork,
and give her this man as its candidate
for Vice President, their swords would
only be drawn in common
cause. (AppIeuse.) And he (M!ller)
could give Gh9 convention the same
pledge for sectional faction in the State |
here tonight. By its &C
ton the convention had made it pos
sible for Republicans TO save Indiana
and its further action would make it |
possible to carry New York. Cap |
plause.) This great battle was to be |
fought out in New York. The Dem |
ocratic party had thrown down the
gauge of battle, and if the convention |
would help the Republicans of New
York they would carry the fight to |
a successful conclusion. (Applause.) If
New York delegates were refused the |
boon they would go home and do all
that mortal men could, but they would |
go home sick at heart and discouraged. |
He appealed to the convention to hear
the voice of New York. If the conYen-
ton would name tonight the man of
their choice. they would go home and
they would iuscribe upon their ban
ners, american wages for American
workingmen, American markets for
American people, and protection for
American homes" and in this
sien they could not be de-
feated. In behalf of the united
delegation of New York-aye, in behalf
of a united Republican party of the
