The Republican National Conven-
ton was called to order 1t 1894
o'clock, to-day, by Chairman Jones,
of the National Committee, who call
ed for nominations for Temporary
Chairman.
Hon. John NJ. Thurston, of Oma-
ha, Nebraska, was placed in nomina-
ton, elected BY reclamation, and es.
corted to the chair, amid deafening
applause. He took hold of the
gavel, gave one rap to call the as
semblage to order, and, bowling his
acknowledgment, thanked the dele.
gates for the high honor conferred
upon him in his selection as
chairman OF this most remarkable,
distinguished, and representative body
Of sovereigns that the world could
produce. He congratulated the party
upon the suspicious aspect with which,
thanks to the continued laundering
and unpatriotic course OF the au
thorized representatives. of the
Democratic party during the
past three years, the cam.
paign had already been invested.
The Republican party, which had en-
dowed the nation with tho homestead
and presumption laws, which had res
cued the nation from imminent peril,
freed over 1900, 900 Of slaves, taught
the worlds statesmen how a gigantic
war debt could be liquidated within
the lifetime of two generations, re-
habilitated to all the glorious rights
of American citizenship a most i'm
por,ant portion OF it's members who
had forfeited them, and which had
always been so intelligen,ly devoted
to home labor, to home manufactures,
to home industries, and which had
erected an irremovable barrier to the
importation of Chinese, poems, and
all manner of contract labor, was
about to be re.intrusted with the
reins OF government. The party did
not have a very arduous fight on its
hands this year-not such fight as
need appall any courageous man de-
sirous of doing right by his country.
A nomination by this Convention
would be almost equivalent to a GER
tlnCdtc VI eAeCIIOi.
The speaker was frequently inter-
rupted with cheers, the clapping Of
hands, stamping on the floor, the
waving of handkerchiefs and fans by
the ladies in the gallery, and even
by trumpet.blasts.
AS the various delegations began
filing into the hall, at IL o'clock,
sharp, round after round of applause
greeted them; but Creed Raymond,
of the California delegation, who
walked in with Blaine hat on bis
head, elected storm of hurrahs aud
other demonstrations which fairly
shook the building. This ,lemonstra-
ton was repeated when a delegate
walked in bearing sloft white
plume. This was the signal for fully
five minutes of cheering and stamping
for the "Plumed Knight"
After the transaction Of the routine
work the Convention adjourned until
Tomorrow noon, when it will meet
for permanent organization.
The permanent Craftsmanship lies
between Estee of California and
Warner Miller OF New York. The
delegates from the Empire State will,
however, probably wave their preten-
sions IN favor of the Pacific Coas,
man, as they have several favorite
sons for a place on the ticket, while
the Far West and Pacific slope and
coast have none.
