NEW YORK REPUBLICANs.



The Rev York republican convention reas-
sembled promptly at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the committee on permanent
organization reported the name OF Whitelaw
Reid for permanent chairman. The mention
of Mr.. Reid's name was greeted with storm of
applause, and he was chosen without dis
senting vote. Mr.. Reds address was spirited
and was repeatedly interruptedby cheers When
Mr.. Reid referred to President Harrison as that
noble man sitting under his grandfather's hat
in the White House the house rang with cheers
and laughter. The allusion to the fact that
the city and the country at times pulled as q
bulky team was greeted with hearty laughter
such was the cause why occasionally such
splendid and chivalric leaders as Fassett fall by
the way, the handkerchiefs of hundreds flashed
into the air. and the scene Of the morning was
repeated.
1t remained, however, for an utterance char
matchless Blaine" to bring the convention to
its feet. SO to speak. The flags IN the galleries
and the drapings Of the boxes filed with ladies
well nigh futtered in the clamor- filed air.
Nh. DEPEw SPEAKS.
There came more breeze and good feeling in
the convention Just as Mr.. Reid closed his ad-
dress. Away back in the house some man
shouted "Depew." In an instant hundred
voices were crying 'Depew!" "Depew!' Cheers
were renewed and maintained until Mr.. Depew
mounted the stage.
Throughout the address Mr.. Depew kept his
audience busy with laughing and cheering and
earnest applause. "No presidency can honor
him more than the laurels Of love and esteem
placed by the people upon tho head of James
g. Blaine" spoke Mr.. Depew, and the tumult
broke loose beyond restraint for many mo-
ments. And when Depew retired up the aisle
to his seat there were renewed cheers. and
several delegates, already on their feet with
hats in air, slapped the orators shoulder as he
passed.
Then came cries for Fassett, who attempted
response from his place on the floor, but was
forced to the stage.
