with his horses, went just little too far
before stopping. The forward runners
went over the top of the pitch, the horses

for Harrison.

Gov. Mckinley this year will not DO
in the position in which Republicans
have grown to expect to see him hold in
national conventions, viz: that of chair
man of the platform committee. The
reason is to be found in the fact that he
has position of higher rank-perma-
nent chairman-to which he was elect
ed at the meeting of the committee on
permanent organization last evening. /
1t was cut and dried affair. none Of
the members caring to bring out can
didate against the tariff expert. Mr.. !
Mckinley was put in nomination, sew
eral members made complimentary
speeches, and then he was declared the
choice of the committee by acclama-
ton.
His selection is due to the fact that
he was conceded to be man emiuently
fair. and. while in favor of the nomina-
ton OF President Harrison, the anti
administration forces had no objection
whatever to him, and il was they who
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-08

that he personally was confident that
they had Harrison beaten. 1t will be
observed that he did not say that they
had Blaine nominated. All that in
terested him was that they had Harrison
defeated. He sent telegram to John
r. Mclean, of the Cincinnati En-
Quirer, to the effect just stated, and that
fact was talked of all over the West
hotel last night.
1t was given out to the GLOBE last
night, straight from the anti-Harrison
headquarters, that they meant to delay
the work of the convention to the ut
most, on the theory that every delay
meant a loss of votes for the president.
They propose to keep up the fight in the
committee on credentials all of today if
possible, and prevent the convention
from doing any work today. There is
hot fight now Oh in that committee, as
will be seen from the report in another
place, over the Southern delegations,
and this fight will be prolonged to the
utmost, the ants IN the meantime get
ting in their work on the Harrison
forces. They claim they are making
great inroads on the administration
strength, and IN two more days will
have it utterly demoraliZed.
While this is their programme, there
seems to be no fear in the Harrison

The event of tonight was meeting of
New York delegates at the rooms Of
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Twenty-nine
delegates were present, all of whom
guaranteed themselves to vote for Har-
rison's renomfnation against all candi-
dates. Depew presided and made
vigorous address in favor of Harrison,
as also did Hiscock and others. Twenty
or more kilograms were read to the
gathering urging the delegates to vote
for and support Gen. Harrison on the
ground that his nomination would be
for the best interests of the party.
Committees were appointed to visit
other state delegations and present the
reasons why twenty-nine delegates from
New York urge the denomination OF
President Harrison.
Besides those present at the meeting,
it was said that two more delegates
would vote for Harrison, and that eight
would not vote for Blaine. These. the
delegates present said, they believed
would ultimately join the Harrison col
umn.
The delegates present were hiscock.

The great quadrennial national Re-

but the overture has been played and
ringmaster chosen in the person of ia
cob Sloat Fassett, the wealthy young
protege of Boss Platt, who was honored
by the latter in having been selected as
the sacrifice in the last New York cam
paign. But the performers have all
been selected, the programme prepared,
and nothing remains but to work out the
details and up to the grand transforma-
ton scene.
The first day of a national convention
Is always quiet one. The programme
is absolutely cut and dried, and there is
nothing to do but to stare wide-mouthed
at the men whose positions in politics
have made them famous. So it was yester-
day. The opening session was entirely
featureless, but for the injection into
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-08
THE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.

the declaration that all good Republic
ans agreed that the party was greater
than any one man, and that the loyal
desire of all was party success, pro-
voked exuberant demonstrations OF ap-
proval. The promise that the prellm-
mary arrangements of the convention
should be made in the right way and in
the right spirit was we'll received, but
the height of the enthusiasm was
reached when he said that when the
convention ended. all rivalry would be
ended; when the nomination should be
made there would be but one choice,
and he would be the nominee OF this
convention; but one purpose. and that
his election. "All our candidates are
strong men," said he. '.Some may be
stronger than others [laughter], but our
duty is to select the strongest" Ap-
plause.
1t was obvious that the speaker was
gradually approaching an alluslon to
James G. Blaine, and every individual
of the vast audience of 10000 people
breathlessly awaited the allusion and
the demonstration that would follow.
1t came in the following sentence.
"Our party has furnished Lincoln Zap
plause), Grant; these men were great: they
will always remain great. because OF their
SFOWtn III tQ6 line Ol ucNOtiOu W INC CPoo-
lican doctrine and Republican PRINCIPLES,
Sherman, Garfield tapplanseJ. Harrison and
Blaine are all great kepublieans.o
The words Harrison and Blaine"
were mentioned so rapidly that the
friends of the former candidate were
taken by surprise and had no oppor-
tunity to cheer or their leader. But the
Blaine men made the most of the Occa-
sion, and for three minutes delegates
waived their hats and handkerchiefs
wildly in the air and cheered.
Another scene came when Mr.. Fasset
praised the work of the Fifty-firSt con-
gress ''under the iron will and strong
arm of Thomas b. Reed" Almost
equal to the ovation to Blaine was the
enthusiasm inspired by this reference
to the great Republican parlimentarian.
The eX-speaker was seated far IN the
rear of the speakers stand and was in
visible to most of the audience. Some
one started the cry OF ''Reed, Reed,
Rred," and it was instantly taken up
by the delegates and the gallery until
the building rang with the popular de-
mand for the appearance of the man
from Maine, but it was not until the
chairman of the convention turned and
beckoned commandingly to MI. Reed
that he finally arose from his seat. AT
the first sight of the distinguished son
of Maine arose every delegate and every
auditor to do him homage, and long
after he had resumed his seat the cheer
ing continued.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-08

come convinced that the opposition
move was nothing more than a sorehead
diversion and its leaders would throw
Blaine very quickly, if such move
would defeat Harrison; they had there
fore determined to vote for. Harrison
and DO all they could to secure his nom
ination.
1t is certain, however, that there was
more than ever talk yesterday of new
man. Both sides are really alarmed,
but each is afraid to give the first symp-
tom of fear. Any sign of weakness at
this time would be fatal. Both are
using all the bluff and buster in their
shops. The Harrison men endeavored
to create capital last night on the selec-
tion of Mckinley as permanent chair
man, but the best informed men were
satisfied that was personal tribute to
the tariff leader and not a Harrison
straw.
1t is also interesting in this connec-
ton to say that many of the leading
correspondents. who have heretofore
taken positive grounds for either Harri-
son or Blaine, last night sent to their
respective papers their belief that a
dark horse was now the tip.

An ugly threatening day. delegates in
thorough fighting mood. and everybody
iil-natured almost to the point of savag-
ery-that was the opening of the Repub-
lican national convention to choose a
candidate for the presidency of the
United States. The Mississippi, in huge,
murky yellow flood plunging sullenly
over the falls within sight of the main
entrance of the convention, hall, sweep
ing all sorts of wreckage to more COM
plete destruction, was the gloomily sug-
gestive spectacle which had presented
itself as the hurrying hundreds poured
into the building.
Probably never before in the history
of American political conventions, so
thousands seemed to feel, had an OPEN
ing prayer of record-breaking power
been more urgently needed than when,
soon after IL o'clock, the words to the
Almighty that marked the opening of
the proceedings were heard by the
listening thousands who all morning
