CONVENTION HALL. MINNEAPOLIS,
Juno 10. Chairman Mckinley, q little
palcr than usual by reason of his long
nights vigil. entered the hall and
took his seat before ono-tenth of the
delegates were in their places. All of
them showed signs of weariness and
even the hopeful administration men
showed their enthusiasm in quiet,
subdued way.
At 1887 tho convention was called
to order.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. DIR.
Wayland IIoyt, of tho First Baptist
church, of Minneapolis
Senator Warner Miller, who retired
''outside the breastworlss" when the
lights went out ut midnight, was
early in his seat this morning. Mr..
Hiscocl was too fatigucd to rise dur
ing the prayer; he was the
only delegate who remained
seated. Consideration of the report of
the committee on credentials being re-
sumed, the chair made the gratifying
announcement to the convention that
Senator Quay had authorized him to
say that no further opposition would
be made to the adoption of the major
ity report in the Alabama case. Tho
question was then put and
the majority report was adopted
amid cheers This example
was followed by those who had in
tended to nntagonize the Utah report
on the Mormon issue.
Mr.. Culium after consultation with
other friends of the administration
agreed not to delay nominations by
raising discussion on this ques-
ton. The chairman asked T. B.
Cannon. of Utah. if he desired
vote on his minority report He said
that he did. The minority report was
beaten by decided ajority and the
majority report was adopted
An Oregon delegate moved that the
delegations from Indian Territory and
Alaska be admitted with two votes
each. A motion to refer this matter to
the committee was made, but Chairman
Cogswcll, OF the committee, got the
platform and said that his committee
was ready to report Then on mo-
tion two delegates each from Indian
Territory and Alaska were admitted
Mr.. Dutfield, of Michigan, asked that
the Michigan delegation be allowed to
retire for consultations Tho chair-
man announcing the request said
that this would not inter
fere with the presentation of names
for the presid ntial nomination There
was applause, but Mr.. Dutfield stopped

stating that the Michigan delegation
desired that business be suspended
until the delegation returned. Tho
chairman heard no objection to this
request Tho Michigan delegation re-
tired and tho convention proceeded to
the transaction of some routine busi-
ness. In tho interim tho convention
waited while the delegation de-
cided the momentous question as
whether or not Algcr's name should be

calls for ingalls, for q speech. but the
chairman recognized Warner Miller, Of
