MINNEAP0LIs, June IO.-The evening
session Of the convention was called to
order by Chairman Mckinley, who an
nounced the order of business to be the
presentation of candidates for Vice-Presi-
dent Of The United States.
The Secretary called the roll, and when
the State of New York was reached SEN
ator OConnOr was recognized by the
chair. He said:
= was designated by the New York
delegation to present The name of a dis
tinguished citizen OF New Y Yoril for Vice
President. We want to assure you that
III our opposition to the nomination of
the successful candidate there was
nothing of personal nature, and we now
recognize the duty of every Republican
to bow loyally to the Judgment of this
convention. We believe the State of
Now York ought to be aided in the great
struggle it will have TO make in order to
place that State in the Republican column,
and believethe gentleman whom 1 shall
name will aid us materially in accom-
plishing that purpose. Therefore, in be-
half of the New York delegation, I place
III nomination for Vice. President Of the
United States Hon. Whitelaw Reid"
[Applause.l
The nomination was seconded by Hon.
Horace Porter of New York. He said:
''The character and services of Whitelaw
Reid will give assurance that he will
carry out the policy Of the party, stand
strong III the affections Of his fellow -citi-
zeus, and viii command the unqualified
respect of the people of the civilized
globe. He is -eminently to-day New
York's fav0rite son. He is the legitimate
and worthy successor of that great creator
Of modern journalism, Horace Greeley.
He has served as Minister from the eldest
republic of the new world to the newest
republic Of the old world. He has solved
successfully the most complicated and in
tricate questions that have arisen in di-
plomacy between the two countries
Throughout the various complicated dip
lomatic transactions he retained the abso-
lutte confidence of his own Government
and secured the respect of the French
Government, to which he was accredited.
There is no blot on his escutcheon. Give
us Reid, and his name and services will
do more than any other in assisting in the
campaign. Give US him and he will give
you victory in November"
Governor Bulkley of Connecticut also
seconded the nomination.
The Chairman then asked that the
nomination OF Reid be made by acclama-
ton.
j. S. Settle of Tennessee said, in obedi-
ence to the request of the Tennessee dele
l. I 4
ton.
The Chairman recognized the gentle
man from Tennessee.
Mr.. Settle said: "Under ordinary cir
cumstances, we who live in the South do
not have much to say about the nomina-
ton of candidates for President and Vice
President. We prefer rather to let you
gentlemen who live in the Republican
States of the North make the nonina-
tions, and do what we can to help you
elect them. But Tennessee to-day feels
she has right to ask the convention to
nominate a man for Vice President
who, as intensely American as any
American who breathes the air upon
the American continent; man who
demonstrated to the American people his
stances, to make American citizenship
respected; man who was able to and
who did stop the Democratic party in the
halls Of the American Congress from fill
clustering, and who succeeded in giving
business Government; a man who be-
lieves citizenship in Tennessee or Louisi-
ana entitled to the same protection it has
in Now York or Connecticut. Tennessee.
Mr.. Chairman, places in nomination for
Vice-President OF the United States one
OF the grandest characters in American
politics, Thomas u. Reed of Maine.u
