men will always remain great because of
their growth In the line OF devotion to re-
publican doctrine and republican principles.
Garfield [applauseL Harrison and Blaine
are all great republicans The words
Harrison and Blaine' were mentioned so
rapidly that the friends of the former can
didate were taken by surprise and had no
opportunity to cheer for their leader. But
the Blaine men made the most Of the occa-
sion and for three minutes the delegates
waved their hats and handkerchiefs wildly
in the air and cheered the great leader.
AN OVATION TO REID.
Another one came when Chairman Fas-
sete praised the work of the Fifty-tirst con-
gress, under the iron will aud strong adj
ministration of Thomas B. Reed Almost
equal to the ovation to Mr.. Blaine was the
enthusiasm inspired by this reference to the
great republican pariiamentarian The ex-
speaker was seated far in the rear of the
speakers stand and was invisible to most of
the audience. Some one started the cry of
"Reed. Reed, and it was instantly taken
up by the delegates and gallery. The build
ing rang with popular demand for the ap.
pearance OF the man from Maine. But Mr..
Reed displayed all his customary modesty,
and it was not until the chairman of the
convention turned and beokoned commando
ingly to him that he finally rose from his
seat. At the first sight Of the distin-
guished son of Maine arose every
delegate and every auditor to do him
homage, and long after he had re-
sumed his seat the cheering continued. or
course the speech Of the republican leader
of the national House of Representatives
was we'll received. His illusions to the
sensitiveness of the Democratic party par
ticularly excited the convention and up
sroarious applause punctuated nearly every
sentence of his eloquent speech. His clos
ing sentence was: ITO have a noble future
Is to give every citizen of the United States
liberty Of thought and action" lTremend-
Gus applause. Wealth and prosperity are
noble. but human liberty is magnificent" :"
[Renewed applause.l

OF the various committees was then begun.
A member Of the Alabama delegation said
that the contest in Alabama had Just been
settled, and he asked that the state be passed
until the delegates could hold conference.
