The chairman then announced that the

There was an excited buzz, and Senator
Cullom jumped to his feet and asked
that the list of States be read to name
honorary Vice Presidents.
Mr.. Ingalls, got up and asked that
rule 3 be read. Clerk Johnson read this
rule, which provided that the reports of
the Committees ON Credentials and

The speeches having been concluded.
MIR. Sewell, of New Jersey, moved that
the convention proceed to the real bust
ness of the session. His motion for be-
ginning the ballot was carried without
serious opposition. A call of the States
was ordered amid great excit ament.
Tennessee, when reached, came in for
him with II votes, and the Harrison men
began to cheer. Quiet was restored
with some difficulty. A few moments
afterward Texas gave her vote to Harri.

the gentleman who now occupies the
Presidential chair.
The uproar began, and the scenes
which had attended the mention Of
Blaine's and Harrison's names during
the nominating speeches, were repeated,
with q material shortening of the time

so to speak in IL gorgeous trimming of

In an American city. 1t surpasses 10y

the National Republican Convention of
1888 was in session at its most brilliant

Washington Dispatch
The scene in the White House Friday
afternoon was q memorable one, The
t~elegrapher's Office was crowded with a
distinguished party. Postmaster Gem
eral Wanamaker sat at the corner of
the desk with his tally-sheet prepared
for half q dozen candidates. On q little
table near the instruments Private Sec
rotary Halford rested his tablet and
pencil. Russell Harrison made himself
at home on u desk behind the instru-
ments. Three or more representatives of
newspapers were provided with seats.
and as the news came in Mr.. HalfOrd

dispatches to the President.
Mr.. Tibbitts. the Presidents stem
ographer, is also a teleRrapher, and he
heard the ticks which told Of the nine.

and away he Went to the President to
tell him Of an unexpected gain. 1t was
a few minutes later when the operator
reported Harrison nominated" Up
jumped Halford and down came Russell
Harrison from his perch on the desk.
Miss Halford asked her father for the
privilege Of taking the good news to the
President. Three minutes later. father

victorious candidate the little printed
slip which irrevocably settled the con-
test.

1t was close to noon and the hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity when
Chairman Fassett called the Republican
National Convention to order, Wednes-
day. The proceedings We're opened by
prayer by Bishop Whipplc, of Minne-
apolis.
Hon. f. c. Lockwood, of Idaho, pre-
scented the report of the Committee on
Organization. A wild scene took place
when the committee reported Governor
William Mckinley, of Ohio, for pcrma-
ncn Chairman. Hon. Samuel tessen-
den of Connecticut, ex-senator Spooncr
of Wisconsin, and General William Ma
hone of Virginia were appointed n COM
mittee to escort Governor Mckinley to
the chair. A magnificent reception was
given the Governor when he stepped
upon the platform.
Temporary Chairman Fassctt retired
amid great applause and there were pro-
longcd and renewed cheers and waving
of banners, after which Governor Me-
kinley began as follows:
Gentlemen of the conventions" Here
he was interrupted by cries of three
cheers for Mckinley. The vast au-
dience arose and shook the building
with cheers for Ohio's Governor. After
the applause had subsidized, Mr.. Mckin-
ley proceeded with his address.
The speech vas greeted with prolong-
ed cheering. AT its close there were
repeated cries of Douglas" and the
venerable cX-slave came forward and
bowed his thanks.

for lights.
After waiting several minutesforlights
Mr.. Miller of New York addressed the
convention trying to secure an adiourn-
ment, but without success. At this
point the electric current was again
turned on. and after the applause caused
by the additional light had subsidized, the
convention proceeded with business.
At the conclusion of the roll call,
Chairman Mckinley said: "On this vote
for the substitute of the majority report
in Alabama, the nays are 1891 and the
yeas are 463, and the motion is lost"
Motion to adjourn failed to carry, and
the rail- was called on the adoption OF the
majority report on delegates-at-large
from Alabama, Pennsylvania having de-
manded it. and New York and Colorado
seconded the demand. The vote re-
suited 476 yeas and 1861 nays.
A mighty yell greeted the announce
ment Of the Harrison victory. Canes,
hats, handkerchiefs. anything that
could be grabbed, were swung wildly in
triumph. while the dome seemed to

ty. The Iowa man has performed his
task we'll. He concludes amid an out.
burst of applause that would awaken
pride in a heart of stone.
Now he presents j. Sloat Fassett Of
New York for temporary Chairman, and
once more the multitude breaks into a
roar of cheering that marks the advance
of the New Yorker with approval. A
formal motion and Fassett is confirmed
as the temporary Chairman by nearly a
thousand ayes"
Mr.. Fassett looked perfectly self-pos-
sessed as he gAzed about the vast hall.
In his hand was n typewriter manu-
script to which he referred occasionally
as he spoke.
At the close Of Mr.. Fassett's address
the convention adjourned until ~

held n nucus and claimed to have the
pledges of enough votes to secure Mr..
Harrison's nomination.
Every available space in the great
and splendid convention hall seemed TO
have been filled up at the preceding
session, but it was for the night session
to test the capacity OF this great hall,
and it was packed almost to s~uffocation.
The announcement OF the Committee
on Credentials that a minority report
would be submitted caused consider
able excitement and there was painful
suspense, while the two reports were
being orally submitted, as to what
would follow.
The majority report recommended
that twelve Harrison delegates in Ala
hama, Mississippi and Louisiana be
seated in place Of the same number of
Blaine men given places on the tenn
porary roll, and the minority recon-
mended that the twelve Blaine men on
h temporary roll be placed on the per-
manent roll. The report OF the commit
tee also covered contests in Texas,
Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina
and North Carolina and District of
Columbia, but there was no political
significance in these contests and the
report was unanimous on these cases.
The majority report sustained the
National Committee as to 90 votes and
reversed the National Committee as to
IL votes.
When Chairman Cogswell moved that
the majority report be adopted he was
loudly cheered by the Harrison dele
gates, and wheh Chauncey l. Filley, of
Missouri, moved to substitute the
minority report therefor, the applause
which followed from the Blaine dele
gates told the galleries that the long
expected fight between the Blaine and
Harrison forces was on.
Tho roll call on the adoption Of the
minority report of the committee on
credentials proceeded.
When Texas had been reached in the
call of the roll the electric lights in the
vast hall began to wane for a few
seconds. Had it not been for the faint
glimmer of n few scattering gas lights
encircling the roo the convention
would have been in total darkness.
This caused an immediate cessation of
the proceedings, and the band in the
gallery played I'VE won't go home
