in their places to warrant him in bring

COGGSWELL's REPORT.
Verbal Rendering OF the Action of
the Committee.


The chairman announced the regu-
lar order of business, the report from
the committee on credentials, and
Chairman Coggswell took the platform.
He stated he was not prepared with a
written report, but if the convention
wished. he would make verbal report.
He understood, however, that minor
ity was ready to report. Mr.. Wallace.
of New York, said that he had partial
report from the minority, which he sent
to the clerks desk. No objection was
heard to a verbal report and Mr.. COggs-
well. holding in his hands a memoran-
DUN, began to announce the action of
the committee. He dictated to the con-
vention and the reporters his report as
follows:
The committee on credentials has con-
Sidered the list of uncOntested dele
gates, and has heard twenty-four diff
ferent contested cases. 1t recommends
that the uncOnteSted list submitted by
the national committee to the temporary
organization be accepted as the list of
duly accredited delegates and aternates,
except in the cases to be perfected.
In the matter of the contest in the
Eighth Alabama district, your commit
tee find for the sitting members and
recommend that they be allowed to re-
tain the seats. The same report is made
in the Fourth Alabama, and as 10 the
contest for delegates at large from Ala
bama, the committee recommends that
the contestants. Messrs. Noble, Smith,
DOrsett and McEwan, be given seats.
In the Fifth Alabama contests the
committee finds in favor of the sitting
members.
In the contest of the Ninth Alabama

A MYSTERIOUS CIRCULAR.
Beniamin's Friends Credited With
Its Paternity.

Beniamin's Friends Credited With
Its Paternity.
Considerable comment was occasioned
by the distribution of little circular.
anonymously issued and containing
speech of Hon. William Mckinley Jr.,
at the national convention of 1883. On
that occasion John Sherman was the
choice of the Ohio delegation for the
presidency, and Mckinley, as delegate
at large, was urging his nomination.
Then, as now. an incipient Mckinley
boom had been started rolling, and there
were slight indications that he might be
one of the dark horses in the conven-
tion.
Mai. Mckinley arose, and stating that
he was there as a delegate of and under
instructions of the state of Ohio, to urge
the nomination of John Sherman. he
hoped delegates would refrain from
voting for him. 81 am not insenSible
to the honor you would do me-" he SAID,
"but in the presence of the duty resting
upon me | cannot remain silent with
honor. | cannot consistently to the
state whose credentials / bear and
which has trusted me; l cannot with
honorable fidelity to John Sherman, who
has trusted me in his cause. and with
his condolences; l cannot. consistently
with my own personal integrity, con-
sent or seem TO consent to permit my
name to be used as a candidate before
this convention. l do not request
dema nd that no delegate who would
not cast reflection on me shall cast his
ballot for me-"
1t seems uncertain who has caused
this circular to be issued; but its distri-
button has created considerable excite
ment. Many seem to think that it is
the work OF the Harrison delegates, who
view with envy the prominence which
the name of Mckinley is receiving just
at this time, and are disposed
to take the position that he
cannot consistently allow his friends to
make him candidate while he is work.
ing for President Harrison. But, as
Mckinley is not instructed for Harri-
son, and as Harrison is not an
Ohio man, it will be seen that his
position is quite different from that of
1883, and that the attempted parallel. if
that it be, fails in its analogy.
Others seem to view the Mckinley
circular as having been issued by some
of his friends who desire to remind the
country of his gallant loyalty to Sher-
man in 1888, and convey the intimation
that if a compromise candidate is to be
sought, there is due him at this time the
loyal support Of the entire delegation
of the Buckeye state, as we'll as the
kind consideration of the delegates of
the entire convention.

At no time since the convention
opened have the demands for COM
promise candidate been so generally
and persistently expressed as today. In
deed, it can be almost said that the ma
tional convention is now divided into
three elements-the administration peo-
pie. the Blaine forces, and the conserva-
tive element, which is demanding moth
ing but the party's success. and which
shows evidences of aggressiveness in in
sisting that both Of the leading candi-
dates should give way to some man free
from factional affiliations who can carry
the party to victory next November.

Mr.. Thompson said it made him young

not half eighty-three, for he was stim-

spirit, and by the belief that that party
was to rule the country for years and
years to come. He had learned his Re-
publicanism from a revolutionary an
cestor. They had taught him that the
first principle of Republicanism was to
look after the interests of the people.
They were here, he said. to lay the
foundation of another triumph. He
rose to express his thanks, and to prom
ise them that he would meet them here
or elsewhere four years hence. Mr..
Thompson finished hiS remarks briefly
with eulogy of the Mckinley bill.

no objection he would recognize the

The viva voce vote left the chair and

Chris Magee, of Pennsylvania. rushed
down the aisle with motion from
Pennsylvania for roll call. New York
seconded the motion, and the chairman
announced that the roll would be called.
The delegates who were standing for
the ''aye" votes sat down, and amid
great confusion the chairman began to
poll their delegations, while the Secre-
taries prepared the tally sheets.
Meantime the Blaine men were smil-

Arkansas was called and cast her vote l

KICK OF THE MINORITY.
A Very Mild Presentation Of Its
Views.

At the conclusion of Coggswell's re-
port the chairman asked the representa-
tive of the minority, Mr.. Walker, if he
desired to make a verbal report. Mr..
Walker said that he had no report to
make. but that which he had sent to the
secretary, and he asked that it be read.
The report touched only upon the
disputed delegates at-large. In refer
ence to the election of delegates-at-
large the majority reported from
its point of view the facts
in the case and recommended
that the sitting men be allowed to re-
tain their seats. 1t stated the minutes
showed that 23O out of 332 delegates
were present and participated in the
election of the delegates.
In regard to the contest in the Ninth
district the minority held that the sit
ting delegates were chosen by the daily
organized district conventions, while
the contestants, whom the majority pro-
posed to seat, were elected at secret
meeting held in the basement of
church with closed and guarded doors.
The minority report was signed by fif-
teen members Of the committee.

would reach a ballot tonight or
not. They intimated, however, that so
much of the conventions time had
been consumed by the committee on
credentials that it might be found eX-
pedient and advisable to proceed with
the least possible delay to the selection
of the presidential and vice-presidentlal
candidates.
Up to the last moment the same
unanimity was manifested as to the in
tentionS of the Blaine managers regard
ing the presentation of Mr.. Blaine. In
the event of his name not being formally
presented, it was obvious that If the
Harrison people decided to restrict their
nominating and seconding speeches a
ballot could be reached within couple
of hours after the opening of the ses-
sion. When this condition of affairs be-
came known, the deepest interest was
manifested by all, and every phase OF
the session was watched with GREATNESS
interest.
Fans Were Blessings.
When the delegates began TO assem-

newspapers had put Japanese fans in
their seats. This consideration was
much appreciated, because the tempera-

clothing uncomfortable, The means OF
