 INDIANAPOLIS, March 10.-Tomlinsor l hall presented an animated scene to-day | when Chairman Cloudy called the republi can state convention to order. After prayer picture of President Harrison concealed by an American flag was exposed to view and the cheering was vociferous. Warren G. Sayre of Wabash was chosen permanent chairman and Robert Brown of Franklin permanent secretary. The rules of the Fifty-frst congress as "interpreted and applied by Thomas B. Reed" were adopted to govern the convention amid applause.
 MT. Sayre upon taking the chair spoke at some length. He said that he believed the prospect of the republican party con- tinuing in power was much brighter. This was so because the party deserved it. He said he had suspicion that this convention was fairly frienly to the president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison. MT. Sayre said many pleasant things about tho president, and was frequently applauded. As Mir. Sayre is an appointee under Presi- dent Harrison, there were some smiles when he alluded to the high grade of the presidents appointments.
 THE RESOLUTIONS.
 The report of the committee on resolu- tions is as follows: The republicans of Indiana, in state convention assembled, believing that continuation of the repub- lican party in power is essential to good government and the development of the material resources of the country, hereby reaffirm our devotion to the principles of the party as set forth in the platform at the national convention in 1888.
 We endorse the brilliant administration of Benjamin Harrison, under which the country has prospered, the rights of Amer ican citizens abroad are maintained and the bonded debt of the United States rap idly extinguished and the revenue collect ed with diminished cost to the people and without corruption in any branch of the public service.
 President Harrison has discharged his high duties in the spirit of a lofty patriot ism and with conscientious regard for the rights of all our people. That such a condition of affairs may continue to pre- vail, we urge his renomination by the nation al convention at Minneapolis He has lifted the nation higher in greatness, power and dignity, and we instruct the delegates this day elected to give him their earnest and unswerving support by working and vot- name is before the convention. Thus and thus only will they ratify the will of the republicans of Indiana, already pro nounced.
 After the resolutions had been read ex- Congressman White took exception to the resolutions endorsing Harrison. He said if the president had conducted himself as he should there would have been no oppo- sition at this time. At this point Captain Whites voice was drowned in misses.
 Ex-Congressman Cheadle came to his assistance and told the convention that Captain White was republican who, four years ago, received l, 400 votes more than MT. Harrison. Captain White then pro ceeded amid misses: "What has President Harrison done?" asked Mir. White. "Ev- erything," shouted nearly every delegate. In spite of the hissing, Captain White con- tinued: II hrve no personal difference with President Harrison, but l do not think the Indiana delegates should go to Mlnne2pOllS W1tn tnelr nandS tleO.
 The resolutions were adopted.

 The platform endorses the policy of reciprocity, and favors honest money-a dollar that, whether it be gold or silver or paper, shall be of like value in the payment of debts. It endorses the Fifty first con gress.
