ST. PAUL, MiNE., Sept. 5.-The pro
.ceedings in the preliminary session o.
the Republican State Convention, which
met in Market hall at 1880 to-day, were
little more than the formal carrying out
OF the agreement reached between the
friends OF the three leading candidates
last night. Ex-Governor Pillsbury called
the convention to order, and John
l.. Gibbs, OF Freeborn county, was, by ac-
clamation, made temporary chairman.
He declared the success OF the party was
far more important than the success Of
any individual. On the tariff, he said
that when it again came into power the
Republican party, which has again and
again reduced the tariff since the war,
will continue its revision, Il sentiment
that was greeted with applause.
The chairman then, on the
usual motions, announced the va
rious committees from lists already
in his pocket. The only test of the
strength OF the candidates for Governor
was developed on II motion understood
to be in the interest Of MCGill j. Schcf-
fer, as against Morrison, that the Com
mittee OH Credentials feco. .nixe no
proxy not resident oil the county he
pretends to represent, u proposition
that was greeted with great applause.
y motion 10 lay this motion on the
table was lost bya large majority, and
the original motion prevailed. A re-
cess until 3 o'clock was then taken.
Though it lasted two hours, to-nights
session OF the Republican State Conveu-
tiOnwas not more decisive OF any of the
important points in interest than the
previous one, The Committee on Reso-
iutions not heing ready to report the
convention adjourned ut p. m., until
tomorrow morning. Governor McGill's
supporters claim that his strength has
been increased and that nc controls 100
votes. Mr.. Merriam has at least held

How Hn Stood the Trip.
New YoRK, Sept. Sat Trenton to-
day the Thurman train made a short
stop and the Judge was called for by the
crowd. He was on hand, and held II
moment'spleasant conversation with the
crowd, his quick and pointed response
calling iOrth hearty cheers. In response
to the question "How DO you hold up"
he replied, "Oh, Pm all right. always
get well in n Democratic campaign"
During the applause which followed
this remark the train pulled away from
the station. At Newark, where Judge
Thurman will be given reception on
Saturday night, Il number OF enthusiastic
citizens crowded up about the private
car to get n sight OF the Judge, whom
they greeted heartily. One man named
Doughty managed to enter the car, and
he shook hands so warmly thatthe Judge
exclaimed, "Loek out for that hand, to
which came the quick and ready re-
Spouse, "rhat's not my hand; that's my
heart" As the train came nearer the
city further evidences of welcome were
seen, and at Jersey City 4 crowd Of
2,0O8 or 5000 blocked the way, and
cheered almost continuously MS the
Judge and party, under the
escort OF the Reception Com
mittec, marched out to the
carriages in which they were taken
across the river and to the Fifth Avenue
hotel, where the Judge will stay while in
the city. A shouting crowd OF men and
boys kept pace with the carriages as they
drove up town, their hot, iperspiring
faces giving evidence OF the warmth OF
their greeting. At the motel the Judge
retired to his room TO rest, but a large
number of callers were on hand
a few of whom, being old and dear
friends, were received. Judge Thur
man stood the trip in the way he seems
to stand travelling, being frcsher at the
end OF the day than at the beginning.

EXCITEMENT IN CAMP.
A prominent Republican said that Mr..
Barnum was exceedingly choleric when
he read the advice volunteered to him
and his conierees, and displayed a great
anxiety TO know what lcaky Democrat
had impaired the information to the Sun
that the National Committee had de.

control over his feelings, but smiles bit
