Mr.. Depew spoke as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention:-It is the peculiarity OF Re-
publican National Conventions that each
one of them has a distinct and interest
ing history. We are hero to meet COM
mittees and solve problems, which make
this gathering not only no exception to
the rule, but substantially new depart
ure. That there should be strong con-
victions and their earnest expression as
to preferences and politics, is character
istic of the right OF individual judgment
which is the fundamental principle of
Republicanism.
There have been occasions when the re-
suit yns SO sure that the delegates could
freely indulge in the charming privilege
OF favoritism and OF friendship. But the
situation which now confronts Us de-
mands the exercise OF dispassionate judg-
ment and our best thought and expert
ence. We cannot venture on uncertain
ground, or encounter obstacles placed in
the pathway OF success by ourselves.
The Democratic party is now divided, but
the hope OF the possession OF power once
more will make IL in the final battle more
aggressive, determined and unscrupulous
than ever. II starts with 10 states secure
without an effort, by processes which are
a travesty upon popula- government, ana
II continued long enough will parslyze
institutions founded upon popular suf-
frage. 1t has TO win four more states in
fair fight, states which in the vocabulary
Of polite are denominated doubtful.
The Republican party must appeal 10
the conscience and the judgment of the
individual voter in every State In the
Union. This Is I'm accordance with the
principles upon which II was founded,
and the objects for which IL contends. IL
has accepted this issue before and fought
10 out with an extraordinary continuance
OF success. The conditions OF Repub blican
victory from 1879 to 1880 were created

MINNEAPOLIS, June 10.-In half an hour

what may prove n most momentous ses-
sion. Weary as wero the delegates when
they lay down for few hours sleep this
morning, the hotel corridors were abuzz
with ex&Sed conference almost before

impression of too much noise. There is
the hush of intensest excitement through
out the city. Men feel that the hour is
at hand. The hush before the storm, the
lull before the battle stills their tongues.
In words neither side abates its conf
dence, but words had never less meaning.
The situation will turn on the action of
the silent forces, the men who have lis
tened TO both sides and not committed
themselves Inst nights vote on the AL
ALBANIA contest was n test and IL was not.
IL has strengthened the Harrison forces
by inspiring confidence, but there were
too many absentees for 1t TO be regarded
as decisive.
The question that Is i'm the minds of the
staunchest Republicans is, where lies the
path of wisdom 4? Harrison has made one
OF the most gallant fights ever made at a
national convention. Feeling has
warmed toward him perceptibly
within the past twenty-four hours,
aud men now are asking, will
there or will there not be animosity
If either OF the great leaders is put in he
field, The quiet men are thinking and
asking questions. Their votes will de-
eide whether or not there shall be COM

hest able To judge. The leaders of the
rival camps see each but his own side.

result beyond this III Harrison does not
win on the first ballot it may very possibly

MINNEAPoLIs, June 10.-Chairman Nc
Kinley called the convention to order at
ii:35. The delegates were all on hand,
although they showed plainly fatigue
from last nights work. Immediately
after prayer had been offered Martin was
announced as national committee for
Pennsylvania.
The question was then called of accept
ing the remainder of the majority reports
OF the credential committee.
The Blaine men at once showed that
they had no intention of further delaying
matters, for Quay announced that they
would not oppose the motion to accept
the report.

for vot, in expectation that ballot
will result mt this session.
At twelve o'clock it is announced very
generally that the nomination rests be-

delegation is prepared to cast its vote for
Mckinley.

Clarkson insisted that the only indica-
ton of the strength Of the factions yet
displayed was when the motion to ad-
journ until 8 o'clock last night was car
ried by an overwhelming majority.
Foraker also secuted the idea that last
nights vote gave any idea OF the strength
of the Blaine forces. He said 1t was
Indicative OF nothing further than that
the delegates were entitled to their seats
and allowed to take them. He re-
peated that he cannot see that there
is any show for Harrison. The
Harrison caucus of yesterday at which
1t is claimed there were $40 delegates
pledged to Harrison was the chief topic
OF conversation this morning. All of the
Harrison leaders affirmed that they knew
every one of the $50 delegates TO be favor
able to the denomination of the president.
Chairman Clarkson and Sam Fessen-
den of Connecticut. ridiculed the story
and claimed many of the persons who at
tended, were Blaine men, He said 1t was
an old trick aud had been worked at every
convention held during the last 20 years.
Depew Says Harrison.
Chauncey Depew was of the opinion
that last nights vote settled the result in
Harrison's favor.
He predicted that the result of the first
ballot would be practically the same as
the vote in the contested delegates last
night.
HaIstead Thinks Otherwise.
Murat Halstead was Of the opinion that
the vote last night was exactly what the
Blaine men wanted. They wanted to find
out whether they were weak and
strengthen their lines accordingly. He
thought it was bad political blunder for
the Harrison Ecn and would hurt them.
There was no need of showing their
strength until the balloting for the Presi
Dental nominee was begun and he Is
astonished to think they would play into
the hands of the Blaine party as they did.

They were created that the saved Repub-
lie should be run by its saviours. Tho
emancipation Of the slaves; the recon-
struction Of the States, the reception of
those who had fought to destroy the Re-
public back into the fold, without penal
ties or punishments and to an equal share
with those who had fought and saved the
nation, in the solemn obligation and In.
estimable privilege OF our citizenship;
they were the embodiment into the
Constitution Of the principles for which
million had died. They were the rsstor.
alton of public credit, the resumption OF
specie payments, and the prosperous
condition OF solvent business for % years.
They were names with to conjure, and
events fresh In the public mind which
were eloquent with popular enthusiasm.
1t needed little else than recital of the
glorious story OF its heroes and q state
ment of the achievements OF the Republi-
crn party to retain the confidence of the
people.
But From the Desire for . Change
which In characteristic of free govern
ments there came reversal, there came
check to the progress of the Republican
party and four years of Democratic ad-
ministration. Those four years largely
regulated to the realm of history past
issues, and brought us face to face with
what Democracy, its pretenions and it,
practices were. The great names which
have adorned the roll of the Republican
statesmen and soldiers are potent anl
popular. The great measures OF the Re-
publican party are still the best part OF
the history of the century. The nm
eoualled and unexampled story of Re
publicanism In its progress and its
achievements stands unique in the record
OF parties in governments which are
free.
But we live In practical issues which
affect the business, the wages, the labor
end the prosperity OF today. The cam
paign will be won or lost, not upon the
bad record of James X. Polk, or OF
franklin Pierce, or of James Buchanan; I;
aot upon the good record of Lincoln, or
Grant, or OF Arthur, or of Hayes, or oil
Garfield. It will be won or lost upon the
policy, foreign and domestic, the indus
trial measures and the administrative
acts OF the administration OF Benjamin
Harrison.
Whoever receives the nomination of
this convention will run upon the judg-
ment OF the people, as to whether they
have been more prosperous and mora
happy, whether the country has been in
better condition at home, and stood more
honorably abroad under these last four
years OF Harrison and Republican ad-
ministration than during the preceding
four years Of Cleveland and Democratic
government. Not since Thomas JEFF
ferson has any administration been
called upon to face and solve so many or
such difficult problems as those which
have been exigent In our conditions. No
administration since the organization Of
the Government has ever met difficulties
better or more to the satisfaction of the
American people.

They rise in the mountains on tho edpe

Ships Grew.
SAN PEDRO, March 25.-The American
ship America finished discharging her
cargo yesterday. The owners sent from
San Francisco crew of eighteen men
signed for nine months voyage to the
Arctic Ocean with supplies for whaling
ships. The steamer Corona, Captain
Hall, arrived in San Pedro roads this
morning, laid alongside the America and
delivered the crew on board the ship.
The Coast SSeaman'S Union were there
with boats, and the new crew went over
the Americas bows into the union boats
There was great excitement and some of
the union sailors attempted to board the
Corona, but were repulsed by Captain
Hall and officers. one union seaman
was dubbed over the head and cut in two
places. One shot was fired and seaman
received a flesh wound in the neck.
The union men deny any shooting,
while others say the union sailors fred
thirty odd shots at the America after the
scrimmage. The San Francisco crew ac-
cepted advance money and are deSerters
from the ship. They are members of a
union, not the Coast Seamen, and the
runner III charge has the articles signed
by the men.
There is great excitement among the
seamen, and the outcome may lead to vi
olence, as warrants viii be sworn out for
the crew and force used To place them
aboard the ship America, where their
luggage is. The ship is now at anchor
without crew, and, the chances are, will
remain so for some time. Captain Hard
ing Is doing all In his power TO man his
ship.
