A RUNNING NATE.
Nhitelaw Reid, the New York
Journalist, Nominated for
Vice President.
lis Nomination Made Unani-
nous and Without the For
mality Of a Vote.

The hall was slow in film; up for the
vening session and there was noticeably
decreased crowd in the galleries. the attend
nee Of ladies having fallen off greatly.
Che band turned ZIP at 7:45 and the dele
.ates and visitors commenced to DRIFT in
title faster as it played, but there was not
he same cage. interest for the proceedings
commence as at the morning session.
The leaders of the Blaine contest were
arly on hand rs though to indicate that
hey had cast aside all the an osities Of
he conflict and were now prepared to as
list cheer:ully III naming man for vice
president who shall be in every way suit
,ble running mate for President Harrison
T. S. GARRISON was early ON the ground and
milinsly shook hands with his former op-
yonents. Senator Wolcott Of Colorado and
senator Hansboro OF North Dakota smiled
painfully as the band played Rocked in
he Cradle of the Deep" but they bore it
nanfuly and had evidently concluded to
ay them down in peace to sleep for four
;ears anyway. 1t was the subject OF re-
mark that they did not call Tor Heard
Bowed Down With Weight OF Woe"
As the New York delegation entered the
nall the nominators of the vice president
were received with applause, as it was gen'
orally conceded that to New York belonged
he honor Of making the choice lift SO de-
sired. The dcleLates from the Empire
State gathcre in the aisle near their seats
and surrounded Senator Hiscock like a
swarm of bees discussing
TILE vICE-P SlDENTIAL NOMINATION.
Every eye turned to the group which was
making vice president under the very
eyes of the convention. Before the chair
aan's gavel fell the vice president was
made, and New York sat contcnted!y in its
place.
The audience was very undemonstrative,
and took 10 notice of the great mon o: the
party as they entered, even Gov. Mckinley
not being accorded Il hand The irrepres.
;ibe Alabama delegate, who has been
kicking continusiy since the convention
opened. was lying in wait for the chairman
with Il violent protest sustained by num-
orous afidavlts, that a certain delegate was
not occupying his proper seat. Senator
H scocl waited for him TO conclude before
he called the attention o: the chairman to
the programme .or the nomination Of vice
president.
At S:45 Chairman Mckinley called the
convention to order and declared that the
no mination for vice president was in or
der. The roll was called and no nomina-
ton was made until New York was
reached.
Then Delegate Ed. OConnor ascen ded
tho plat orm and madea speech With his
hands in his pockets. 1t was pacific

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

the points OF vantage filled with ant-Har.
rison men were used to affect and influence
the convention. The Blaine hurrah during
the nominating speeches was the result Of a
preconcer:ed move coupled with the mis-
apprehension Of a lady in the audience to
whom the assem- blage desired tc pay tribute.
The Harrison men were not OIL the kind to be
stanpeded. 1t was known among the dele
gates that the cheering and noise came
from those outside the convention proper
and not from the delegates who would cast
the votes. They knew that
THE LoCDEsT sHorTERs
were those who wore empoye badges and
who had been admitted to the hall, sta
toned at convenient places and were
plenty enough to furnish all the lung
power that could be used by the anti Harri-
son MEN to keep the Blaine noise going. But
Harrison's friends had anticipated all this.
They knew what a Blaine campaign was
and knew how to guard against it. To
stampede that convention was not a posi-.
bility.
When Matthew Stanley Quay amour ced
yesterday that the opposition to the ma
joritv report o: the committee on credcn-
tials would not be pressed, it was clear that
the anti-Harrison men had made no prog
ress toward getting votes with which to
defeat rapid approach to vote. They
had given up the fight by forcing Il delay
simply by roll calls. While roll calls were
in progress and the convention in session it
was
IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THE FINE WORK
necessary to secure the delesales whose
preferences had been and still were for the
president 1t was a slight con :ession OF
weakness, but then the anti Harrison man
ayers hoped to do with the living, bright
and vigorous young Mckinley what they
had failed to do with the brilliant and
magnetic, but older and healthless Blaine
1t was hoped that the name of Mckinley
which had been frequently cheered to the
echo, might do what the name o. Blaine
had failed to do. 1t was hoped that the
convention might be conf red with the
name of Mckinley as the name of Blaine
had Jailed.
There was tremendous rejoicin. among
the trends ofthe president in and out of
the convention.
The vote of North Carolina proved to
have been correctly announced by the
chairman of the delegation. While the
poll was going on most Of the Ohio dele
gates were upon their feet very much ex-
cited all OF them and conversirg eagerly to-
sether in whispers. The Pennsylvania
delegation had made a quiet disappearance
into one the committee rooms in the rear
ofthe hall and filed back with Mr.. Quay
in tire lead ready. 10 announce its vote.
North Dakota gave Blaine votes and ! lar

r. 6. Evans will be Minne=ota's repre-
sentative on tie Republican national COM
mitfee for another term o:lour years. The
deadlock in the state de. esation was broken
yesterday morning and Evans was elected
by the small majority Of one OF the dele
gates. The day bc.ore it was decided that
ten votes, majority Of the delegation,
should constitute choice On the first
ballot Bob Evans received 0 votes, Stanford

Def gate was absent. The ricnds Of the OPP
posing candidates Immediately went to
work. trying TO make converts in each
others camps; while many Others were
rushing around trying to find an available
third candidate. The last class accom-
plished nothing, for there was a strong
feeling in the delegation against taking up
with any outside man. The choice lay be-
tween tie two leading candidates.
The Evans men. however, were more sue
cess.ul, and succeeded in securing pledge
from one Of the Newell supporters to vote
for Evans. This practically ended the fight,
and the opponents Of committeeman Evans
immediately threw up their hands and ac-
EnowiedSett themselves defeated. Senator
Ciougti ard many other friends of STANFORD
Newell, both i'll Minneapolis and st. Paul,
urged the delegation to make Evans cleo
ton unanimous. The meeting OF the dele
gates yesterday morning was an iEstantanc-
OTIS one, and Evans was elected on the first
ballot. Delegates Ber-, jacobson and Dunn
wanted an open ballot, but the majority
was opposed to it, ana it was Sc
c-rt, as Oh the preceding day
sixteen delegates were present. Evans re-
