MiNNEApoLIs, June 10.-More exciting
scenes than those which characterized tn,
reassembling Of the Republican nationa
convention at O'Clock last night hav'
seldom been witnessed In any gathering
The final struggle for supremacy between
the contending Blaine and Harrison mer
was at hand. Everybody recognized the
fact that the contest was an extremely
close one the 900 delegates we're pretty
evenly divided, and 1t was felt that the
decisive moment would soon approach
when the long delayed report Of the COM
mittee on credentials would be forth.
coming and then the great mass of the
delegates who had not as yet spoken,
would be called upon to cast their votes
with one side or the other.
THE CONVENTION OPENED.
Chairman Mckinley raped for order
shortly after o'clock and the report of
the committee on credentials was called
for.
To everybody's surprise two reports
were presented by this committee. The
minority report was quickly recognized as
the work OF the Blaine men. The major
ity report called for the seating of the
Harrison favorites who appeared as con-
testants. The minority report decided
the I'd and 4th Louisiana district contests
in favor of the Kellogg Leonard, or anti
administration applicants for seats as
delegates. 1t also proposed to seat the

districts by unanimous vote of the com.

the reports were closely divided.
At this time the excitement had reached
fever heat.
The discussion of the Alabama contests
provoked an outburst of hisses by the
crowd in the galleries and Cannon, Of
Illinois, wanted the galleries cleared. A
bitter feeling developed when Wolcott, Of
Colorado, scored the federal office-holders
in attendance upon the convention and
told them to get back home and attend
to their duties.
Quay took the floor amid great cheering
and advocated the adoption Of the minor
ity report. Warner Miller spoke in favor
Of the same action and Depew advocated
The adoption Of the majority report
THE ROLL WAS CALLED
On the question and amid the greatest ex.
element the states proceeded to ballot
On the motion to substitute the minority
report Of the credentials committee for

Alabama voted II for the minority re-
