The evening session was little mora
than ratification meeting. The nomi4
nee for vice president was selected in
meeting of the New York delegation,
held an hour before the convention.
BY tact consent the naming of a vice
presidential candidate was left to tine
New York delegation. The delegation

at the econelusion topresent the-name
of ex-Minister Whitelaw Reid. Tho
only other name discussed was that of.

the agreement upon Mr.. Reid was unan.

John c. New was interviewed early
in the evening in regard to the prefers

willing to let the New YeTkers elect.

tion was then put, and the majority re-
port was unanimously adopted amidst
cheers.
The chairman asked Mr.. Cannon, of
Utah, if he desired vote on his minor
ity report. he said he did. The minor
ity report was beaten, viva vOce, by a
decided majority, and the majority re-
port was then adopted.
A motion to refer this matter to the
committee was made, but Chairman
Coggswell, of the committee, announced
from the platform that his committee
was all ready to report. Then on motion
two delegates each from Indian territory
and Alaska were admitted.
Wolverines Retire
Mr.. Dufield, of Michigan, asked that
the Michigan delegation be allowed to
retire for consultation, and that busi-
ness be suspended until the delegation
returned. The chairman beard no OBJ
lection to this request, so the Michigan
delegation retired, and the convention
proceeded to the, transaction of some
routine business.
The chair recognized Warner Miller.
of New York, who sent up to the desk
and had read a wOmen's suffrage memo
rial. He asked that the officers of the
association named in the communica-
ton be presented to the convention,
and this was done. Mrs. j. Ellen
Flower, wearing a watered silk dress, a
black and gold toque, and with bunch
OF roses at her cOrsage, was escorted to
the platform and read an address, with
many oratorical gestures.
The lady orator. as she warmed up
with her subject. laid aside her notes
and addressed the convention with a

Handshakipg and Soft Compli-
ments Cover 1t.
The exact effect which Harfison's re-
nomination is 10 have upon the party
cannot be determined until the passions
of men have subSided. Ofcourse, there
is great deal of bitterness tonight, and
probably much OF this will live during
the campaign, but whether it will be
sufficient to endanger the success of the
Republican tickets very problematical.
Chairman Clarkson, ex-senator Platt,
j. Sloat Fassett, ex-Gov. Foraker and
the others generally state tonight that
their coats are off, and that they expect
to enter the political fray in behalf of
the nominee of the Republican party.
The rank and file of the delegates
have had their petty quarrels, their
angry alterations Oh the street corners
throughout the week, but for the main
part they have shaken hands and made
up tonight. Except in the cases where
the presidential contest became the
basis for fierce factional disputes in
localities, it is likely that all the ami
mostly of the hour will be worn away
in the early stages of the campaign.

were at last delivered. with fidelity, in
opposition to all the enthusiasm which
the name of Blaine called forth.
Half a dozen conferences were held in
the early hours by the anti-administra
ton leaders, to determine what was
best to be done. The proceedings of the
convention show what the result of all
these conferences was. 1t was deter
mined to keep Blaine in the field until
the spirit of the convention had been
ascertained, and then, by move to Nc
Kinley, try to stampede the convention
for the governor of Ohio and the chair
man of tie national convention.
Mckinley was tine very embodiment
of the American ideal of craftsmanship.
He neither sought nor repelled the
nomination for the presidency, but pur-
sued the eyen tenor of his course, with
infinite justice in his rulings, regardless
of the effect it might have upon him OF
his destiny.

The Memory of Past Defeat.


The speaker at this point was greeted
with loud and prolonged cheers. Many
of the delegates stood up and waved
the handkerchiefS and flags, and the
audience generally yelled loudly.

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: The Republicans OF the
West sometimes differ with the Repuo-
licans of the East as to what is wanted.
On this occasion there is remarkauie
unanimity between genuine Repuo-

one great universal howl went up from

Hats and handkerchiefs as well rs fans

the noisy galleries assisted in the up

when it concluded Senator Wolcott

TURNING OF THE TIDE.
Pennsylvania Began 1t, and Nc
Kinley Capped 1t.

Pennsylvania was the first state to
turn the tide against the compromise
candidate ushered forth by the almost
solid support of the state of Ohio, and
Matt Quay today. as in the four years
gone by, is prominent figure in Re-
publican politics. But today it was
demonstrated that the delegates of the
Keystone state were no longer plastic
to bis will, for it was the. unexpected
accession of ten additional votes
from this state to : the Harrison
column that turned the. tide in
favor of the president and caused so
many Northern delegates, as we'll as the.
states of South Dakota and Texas, a few,
minutes later, to follow the example by
giving significant majority to Ben
jamin Harrison, and practically assur-
ing him the nomination.

The battle has been fought and won,
and the administration of Benjamin
Harrison is sustained by the Republican
party in the denomination of the presi-
dent for second term. The result of
this contest, which has been SO stub
bornly waged for the past week, re-
mained in doubt up to the very last
stages of the ballot. Every resource
known to political warfare was brought
to bear by the leaders of the opposition
to defeat the presidents denomination.
and for one brief hour in the middle OF
the day it seemed that the popular gov
ernOr of the Buckeye state was to re-
eeive the highest honor which can be
bestowed by the Republican party.
But men held

FORAKER's CLIMAX.
His Swing to Mckinley Wins Com
mendatiOn,

Another star. too, has shifted to a
brighter constellation in the political
armament. Ex-Gov. Foraker. of Ohio,
the fiery and eloquent fighter of Amer
ican politics. forgot the factional differ
ences between himself and Mckinley,
and swung the unanimous vote of the
Buckeye state into the column for Nc
Kinley. This vote was not quite unani-
nous, for Mckinley himself prevented
it from being so by refusing TO yield the
right of ballot to his alternate, and by
casting his own vote for Benjamin Har-
riSon.
And so it is tonight that the names of
both Mckinley and Foraker are on every
llp-the former as a self-sacrifcing
friend; the latter as one whose political
rivalry is forgotten in the generosity
which distinguished the highest traits
of craftsmanship.

Maj. Mckinley left Minneapolis to-

said: "The ticket is magnificent. The

At seven minutes before 9, majority

Mckinley called the convention to

was in order the chairman announced
the next order of business was the

HOW THE STATE WENT.

Figures From the Counties Official and
and Estimated-The Total Vote Over
5000 Less Than in 1SSS-The Socialist
Labor Ticket Cut No Figure.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-Offcial and
semi-official returns from all of the 81 coun-
ties OF the State show a plurality for Harri-
son of SO, 424, a decrease as compared with
1888 of 20, ,034 In some counties the process
of counting the ballots has been very slow
and official figures when obtained are likely
to show slight changes in the vote as given
in the table below. The Prohibition vote
is given in only % counties. The Weaver
vote was very light and the Socialist-Labor
vote seems to have been polled in only a
few localities and will amount to only few
hundred throughout the State.
The new ballot law seems to have had the
effect of keeping many people away from
the polls since the weather conditions were
favorable to large vote. The total num-
Der of ballots cast in 1888 for the Republican
and Democratic candidates was 972, 724,
whereas, on Tuesday last only 964, 514 were
put into the boxes for the electors of these
parties, decrease of over 5000.
Following is a table of the vote cast for
the Presidential electors of the Republican,
Democratic Prohibition and Peoples
parties:
