ported him, aud declaring that no state or
man would give the gallant gentleman
who had won the fight a heartier support
than Michigan and himself. "He's all
right" ended the dispatch, and the Alger
men in the convention cheered loudly at
the old and well-known refrain.
After the convention had been ad
dressed by Wise and Malone, of Virginia,
Proctor, of Vermont, Lynch, of Mississip
pi Thaxton, of Nebraska, Harris, of North
carolina, and Williams, of Dakota, all in
the same strain, the chairman then put the
motion which was adopted with a shout,
and the chairman declared Senator Har-
rison the unanimous nominee of the con
vention and of the party for president.
Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, thought it
was desirable for the convention to axe a
recess, and he therefore moved one ii
O'Clock this evening.
The motion was seconded by several
states, but the convention, by an over
whelming vote declined to adjourn, and
went on with the regular order, placing in
nomination
CANDIDATES FOR vIcE-PREsIDENT.
When Kentucky was called Mr.. Denny
of Kentucky, assembled the platform and
declared that the nomination of south
ern republican for vice-president would
send thrill of confidence and hope
throughout the republicans OF that seq
ton, who had so long been hewers of
wood and drawers of water. He placed in
nomination William o. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, and the nomination was seconded
by Mr.. Griffin, of Kansas, Warner, of Ala
bama, and Hank, of Tennessee. Mr..
Hank charged that the south was solid
much because of the neglect of the repub-
lican party to look after the republicans
in the south.
When the nominating speeches were
made, Chairman Estee resigned the gavel
to General Hastings, of Pennsylvania, who
presided with dignity and success.
Mr.. Watt, of Georgia, joined in sec
onding Bradley's nomination.
Mr.. Atkinson, Of Michigan, on behalf of
a large part of the Michigan delegation,
seconded the nomination OF Bradley.
When New Jersey was called, Senator
Seweu stated that it was the intention OF
the New Jersey delegation 10 present the
name of William Walter Phelps for the
vice. presidential nomination. There
would be, he said, some brief seconding
speeches and, as the members of the con
vention were tired, he would move reces;
until p. nj.
The motion was, at 3:05, agreed to.
