MINNEAPoLIs, Junes.-Anugly, threat
ening day and delegates in thorough
fighting mood, ill-natured almost to the
point of savagery, were the marked
features of the opening of the repub-
lican national convention to choose q
candidate for the presidency of the
United States.
ORGANIZING THE CONVENTION.
1t was fitting, perhaps, that the patri-
otto airs of Columbia" my Country,
IT'S Of Thee" and 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" should be the prelude to the
convention, and hardly had the last
medley died away when Chairman
Clarkson, of the national committee,
raped the tenth republican national
convention to order. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. William Brush, chanccl-
lor of the University of Dakota Of
Mitchell, S. d.
Michael II. DeYoung, of California,
one of the secretaries Of the national
committee, read the official call for the
convention, and five minutes were con-
sumed in this and other monotonous
proceedings.
Gentlemen of the convention" then
said Mr.. Garrison, II am instructed by
the national committee to nominate for
your temporary chairman Hon. ]. Sloat
Fassett, of New York"
There was momentous pause while
the body awaited the action that might
be taken by the Harrison wing in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Fassett's selection. But
the anticipated contest did not take
place. No one was placed in NOM
ination in opposition to Mr.. Fas-
sett, and when the question was sub
mitted there was not an opposing vote
to Mr.. Fassett's election.
"Your temporary chairman, gentle
men," was the introduction with which
Mr. ClarlSson presented Mr.. Fassett to
the convention. The expected Blaine
