MrNNEAfoLIs, MINI, June 10.-As it
was written in the dispatches SO it is
The vote is little better than the pub
lished estimates, and the Republicans
are ready to go to battle once more un-
der the leadership OF a successful chief
tain. Last nights vote on the report
OF tho committee of credentials should
have satisfied the opposition that
tho jig was up. They saw
with sick hearts tho rising tide,
but they got together, sent
their runners in the night and the carly
morning and assaulted every Harrison
delegation. The Harrison men stood
the shock like veterans, making no
effort to retaliate. They stood ready
stood ready for the last and decisive en-
counter. The opposition threw Blaine
into the bear pit aud had to leE'him be
wantonly butchered. They tried to
stampede for Mckinley US last resort,
but the Harrison mon stood their
ground. Whsn 1t was seen that Harri-
son was winner, Mckinley wanted to
do the handsome thing and
nominate by acclamation. Men who
had held to make and win the
fight wanted to got on record. West
Virginia raised the point that she had
the right to vote, argued it and voted.
The defeated would have been glad to
be on the other side, but every body is
for Harrison now. It has been a
splendid convention and every body is
going to work for Harrison and elect
him. Some Of us will take rcst for a
day or two. and see the sights and then
hurry home for the big ratification
meeting which we suppose the boys are
arranging for. c.B.H.

"Whats the matter with Alger,"

A voice replied: mot in It," And
the convention taking from that that

Wolverine candidate from tho track,
burst into cheers. Just why no one
knew.
A BLAINE DEMONSTRATIONS
Mr.. Eustis, Of Minnesota, seconded
the nomination OF Blaine. The Repub.
llcan party honored its great leaders, he
said, but above them all stood ono man.
Every issue on which wo must win was
personilied in his name. At the close
Of Eustis' speech the chief Blaine
demonstration OF the day took place.
It seemed as II 1t were without end.
The crowd yelled, waved umbrellas,
threw hats in the air, danced, cheered,
when every man had come to think hu.
man power must soon overcome itself.
the old stamping cry "Blaine, Blaine,
James G. Blaine" spread throughout
the audience, When 1t lasted SO that
subsidence was coming from exhaustion
some one in the audience began kissing,
When lady was given a huge star
bearing the portrait Of Blaine she waved
it on high and The cheering was again
renewed. The enthusiasm began to
stir up the old Blaine men who had re.
luctantly contented to so into the Nc

excited Foraker 80 that lie thought the
gallant war horse OF his devotion might

This scene lasted thirty.one minutes.

from Mississippi, seconded the nemin'
alton Of "the greatest citizen Of the
world, a man 30 great that no one /:
Jealous OF him, that greatest OF Ameri.
cans, that OF greatest OF living Republi-
cans, James &. Blaine" When the
cheers which followed this speech haG
subsidized the name Of New York was
called. As the courtly Depew arose,
5000 Harrison representatives burst
into one mighty cheer.

THE CLIMAX IL DEPEw's SPEECH.
The climax in the Depew speech came
at juncture unexpectedly The speaker.
Abiding to the brilliant records and
deeds OF the administration he said,
"Who will be credited share in every

was precipitated by the followers OF the
Plumed knight. The expected demon.
stration followed Mr.. Depew's speech
and it nearly rivalled the Blaine out
burst OF q few minutes previous. A
huge by Sportrait OF the President
was borne down to the grand stand, and
the Hon. Fred Douglass, the leader Of
the colored race, led the mighty ovation
by mounting chair and waving his
hat high into the air while his white
hair waved in the breeze.
The band struck up lively air and
the enthusiasm grew with it. A quick
witted Blaine man was the first
to check it. Grasping the huge silken
banner OF the Chicago Blaine club bear.
ing the portrait Of the great popular
leader, he marched up the centre aisle.
As the Blaine and Harrison banners
met midway q counter demonstration
followed which no words can adequate
ly express. Old and young, the sedate
and cheerful, austere and gay, oil joined
in the enthusiasm OF the occasion.
The tri.color plumes OF Blaine were
hoisted on every side and Is ii by magic
score OF portraits OF Harrison and
Blaine were swung to the breeze.
In twenty minutes tho rival de-
monstration had subsidized sufficiently
for the chair to announce that Ex-Sena-

recognized. The speech OF the great
Nicaragua canal advocate in seconding

ceived. His statement that he and his
friends had no words OF distraction Tor
Harrison and that the nominee OF the
convention would receive tho support
OF all Republicans provoked hearty
applause.
The general understanding had been
that Foraker would make the principle
speech for Blaine, and when, Tor some

any duty which this convention may
impose upon him. (Appiause.) For
many months there has been appre-
hension in the public mind respecting
his health and strength. It Is graft
flying to be able to state that the fears
which moved US were groundless. For
our country's sake and his own we

that his youth could be renewed like

Young Missionary from Japan creates a
Breeze by His Statements.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
CHICAGO, Sept l3.-Rev. Mr.. Bartlett, a
young missionary sent to Japan by the
American board of missions, created quite
breeze at the meeting of the Congrega-
tional ministers today by attacking Sir
Edwin Arnold the Englis poet and editor
who spent several years in japan. Mr..
Bartlett was relating his experience in
Japan, telling how great the impiety and
general contempt for missionaries was
among the Japanese, when one of the
brethren interrupted him by asking: ia
this conduct toward the missionaries
caused by the general impiety of the
peoples"
The young missionary quickly answered !:
at is caused by the conduct of certain
travellers, notably among them Sir Edwin
Arnold. His conduct while in Japan, II
enlarged upon, would certainly not be
tolerated in America. Ii might pass in the
gay courts of European kings and princes,
and would be particularly suitable TO the
court of Louis XIV. These are facts, and
am not speaking from mere rumor.
dislike to make these illusions TO Sir
Edwin Arnold, but they are true"
MIR. Bartlett proceeded to say that mis-
sionaries were everywhere looked upon
with contempt. The English and Amer
lean merchants were quite as disrespect-
full and famed the fire daily. The news
papers were filled with screeds attacking
the missionaries, and altogether they had
hard time of it.
