Dedication Exercises.
The great convention hall was dedicated
last night by musical exercises and a
speech from Chauncey NJ Depew. The
immense gathering of fully 1900 persons,
which filled every part of the building. was
manifestation Of its capacity. and the
exercises, both musical and oratorical, put
to the severest test its acoustic properties.
1t was evident that the music was heard
to good effect, and the speakers voices af-
ter the first few minutes, during which
cries Of ''louder" were raised, also ap-
peared to reach to the remotest corners of
the vast auditorium.
Governor Mckinley Of Ohio was billed
for an opening speech, aud ten or twelve
elaborate musical numbers, each good for
twenty minutes or more. were to follow
Ae AHt Chd Va WI iStDCW was pun
down for dedicatory address. Governor
Mckinley failet to appear, and fortu-
nat, ly the musical program was not car
ried out as arranged, so that Mr.. Depew
was able to make his address early. He
was introduced by Governor Merriam. In
opening he paid tribute to the hall by
saying that he had seen tho efforts of
places much larger than Minneapolis to
accommodate convention, but this was
the FIRST hall he had ever been In that
would take care of them ALL
The political passages of Mr.. Depew's
speech were accompanied by most signifi-
cant demonstrations. After he had run
through the list Of "favorite sons" each
receiving a scanty measure Of applause,
he reserved to the last the names of Blaine
and Harrison rs belonging, not to the
state but to the nation, his point was an
ticipated. A voice in the gallery cried:
"Blaine," and such a.tumultuous burst Of
cheering arose that the orator was COM
PEELED to halt. Then he delivered his
euloFy Of Blaine, and followed it with an
equally graceful panegyric on Harrison
as "the man on the record OF whose ad-
ministration any candidate must run and
win or be defeated.
Once more the cheers broke out in
tumultuous volume and it was hard to
say which received the greater portion OF
approval. At the close OF Mr.. Depew's
speech there were loud calls for Mckinley
and Ingalls,, but as neither responded the
musical program was rendered and the
exercises were brought to most satisfac-
tory ending.
National Committee Meeting.
The skirmishing for place by the Blaine
and Harrison leaders in connection with
the temporary organization Of the conven-

committee. The first business entered on
was that Of the election OF temporary

centered upon Senator Cullom Of Illinois,

tion. was induced to reconsider his de-
termination at the request OF the New

didate Of tho Blaine forces. r. II. Dwight,
who held the proxy for Mr.. Fassett, put
