Harrison, when the opposite is claimed
by the Blaine followers.
The Harrison people are greatly
elated over the effects of their meeting,
and regard it as the trump card, The
Blaine leaders are disturbed and are
considering the advisability of getting
up counter demonstration.
Senator Wolcott was interviewed
about the meeting. He said he saw the
list, and on it were the names of seven
Colorado delegates known to be for
Blaine. "The Blaine men claim that
the meeting is a game of bluff in line
with the Conkling- Logan-C Cameron tac-
tics in $780," said Wolcott. iii they were
not afraid of their candidate why should
they print and circulate pamphlets of
Mckinley's speech in the Chicago con-
vention in 1883 refusing the use Of his
name, as it would not be honorable
fidelity to Sherman ?"

MINNEAPoLIs, June 9.-Following is
the full text of the platform as COM
pleted by the committee on resolutions: :
The representatives OF the Republican party
of the United states, assembled in general con-
ventiOn on the shores of the Mississippi river,
the everlasting bond of an tndestructible re-
public whose most glorious chapter of history

ulate their countrymen on the majestic march
OF the nation under banners inscribed with the
principles of our platform Of 1888, vindicated
by, q victory at the polls and prosperity in the
fields, workshops and mines. and make the
following declaration of principles:
PROTECTION REAFFIRMED.
We reafirm the American doctrine OF pro-
lection. We call attention to its growth
abroad. We maintain, that the prosperous con-
dition OF our country is largely due to the wise
revenue legislation of the Republican con
gress. We believe that all articles which can
not be produced In the United States, except
luxuries, should be admitted free of duty, and
that on all imports coming into competition
with the products OF American labor there
between wages abroad and at home
We assert that the prices of manufactured ar
ticles OF general consumption have been re
duced under the operations of the tariff act OF
189G We den0unce the efforts of the Demo-
cratic majority of the house of representatives
to destroy our tariff laws piecemeal, as is man
ifested by their attacks upon the wool, lead and
states, and We ask the people for their judg-
ment thereon.
RECIPROCITY PRAISED.
We point to tho success OF the Republican
policy Of reciprocity, under which our expert

Adjourned Because tho Committee OF
Credentials Wanted More Time.
MNNEAPoLIs, June 9.-The day opened
bright and very warm. As the morning
hours grew the people assembled in tht
convention hall nearly all brought fans
and the great audience room became {
sea of waving palm leaves. As hereto
fore, the leaders were cheered on theil
rivalry between the Blaine and Har
rison factions as to which could greet iti
prominent men most noisily.
1t was nearly hali-past II when Chair.
man Mckinley raped the convention
to order and announced that Rev. VIM,
Brush, chancellor Of the University Of
South Dakota, would offer prayer.
After prayer the chairman called fol

tials, and round of applause greeted
Chairman Cogswell as he arose. He
announced that the committee was
making diligent progress and asked for
further time, saying he hoped to report
at 8 o'clock tonight.
Senator Cullom of Illinois presented q
resolution endorsing the worlds fair,
and recommending national appro-
priation therefor. Referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions.
The Illinois delegates introduced a
resolution that all Grand Army men be
permitted to enter the hall and occupy
the seats vacant thirty minutes after
the beginning of the session. Referred
to the committee on rules.
Ex-Governor Sewell Of New Jersey
moved that recess be taken till g
O'Clock, pending the report of the COM
mittee on credentials.
The Harrison men objected to this,
and Lawson of New York demanded q
rising vote.
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
were notably in favor of adjournment,
while Wisconsin, Missouri and several
strong Harrison states, opposed it.
After careful count Of the heads
Chairman Mckinley said: "Yeas, 4O7 ;
nays, 260; and the convention has con-
cluded to adjourn until 8 O'Clock this
evening""
Applause followed the announcement.
The standing vote in the affirmative was
very large, and it seemed that it had
carried by practical unanimity.
Clarkson, the Blaine leader, was
asked after adjournment whether he
considered that the ballot on adjourn
ment was q test vote. He replied,
while pleased smile fitted over his
face
."Well, we wanted to adjourn and they
did not"
Hiecock, the Harrison leader, was
asked the same question. He said:

A HARRISON MEETING.
ENOUGH DELEGATES REPREsENTEI
TO NOMINATE HIM.
The Blaine Men Pronounce It . Bold
Bluff-simply . Pow-Wow Of
Ohce Holders and
Outsiders.

MINNEAPoLis. June 9.-The Harrison
leaders called a meeting suddenly today
for o'clock at Market hall. Those not
in the confidence of the Harrison side
were not invited, and the press were not
admitted. 1t is claimed that 4O6 dele
gates were present, and that these 4O6
represented altogether Oil delegates.
1t was decided to follow the lead of
Depew.
When asked about the correctness of
this statement, Depew confessed the
truth of it, and declared that the con-
test was practically ended.
Another delegate says the number
given is unreliable, because good many
simply vouched for those not present.
The Blaine leaders promise to flank
this movement before morning, but how
it can be done they do not explain.
1t is further said that the Colorado
delegation, who are for Blaine, and
eleven Blaine men from Iowa were pres-
ent at the Market hall meeting, simply
for the purpose of seeing what was
going to be done. This statement was
made on authority of Colorado repre-
sentative.
The Blaine leaders point out that the
facility with which news is given out
from Harrison headquarters, indicates
that this clever bluff. There is no
doubt. however, that it is the sensation
of the hour.
s'It is q bluff, q cold. clammy and
withal desperate bluff" sald Chair
man Clarkson of the national committee.
"Here are two men," he continued,
"who were in the Harrison caucus in
Market hall, who were Blaine men, and
can prove it by their own assertion.
"One was colored delegate from
| North Carolina, the other a white
northern delegate. Both sanctioned the
remark made by General Clarkson.
II can say to you," continued Gen
eral Clarkson, 1--WE will not be disturbed
| by the claims of the Harrison men.
am satisfied that only one third of the
men in Market hall were Harrison men,
and ifty-six OF the delegates in the hall
| we're placed there by me. We knew oi
the purpose OF the Harrison people and
prepared to meet it by having our peo.
pie present, and when balloting comes
in the convention, the truth of my as.
sertions will be sustained =
Clarkson furthermore said: s'The
true state OF affairs will probably be
shown in the vote tonight. As to oul
plans. we are not saying anything. W.
won the fight of 1883 by keeping oul
plans to ourselves, and we propose to DE-
the same thing now"
Ex-senator Platt was OF the same
opinion as Clarkson regarding the i'm
portance of the Harrison gathering. HI
regarded it rs pow-wow of oifice-hoId
ing delegates and outsiders.
Ex-Governor Foraker also asserted
that it was not an assembly Of Harrison
delegates, but gathering Of shoutere
many Of whom have no voice in thu
convention.
| Senator Hiscock was emphatic that
420 delegates were present who ha(
pledged themselves for Harrison.
Following Il among the list Of votei

on their own case. Spooner supported
Depew, and Fassett rejoined for the
Blaine side.
After considerable sparring between
the opposing factions, the chair decided
that the delegates whose seats were con-
tested had no right to vote, and the
vote proceeded
THE LIGHTS GO OUT.
Considerable time was spent in polling
delegations, and before the end of the
roll call, the electric lights in the vast
hall failed, and had it not been for the
faint glimmer of a few scattered gas
lights encircling the room, the convention
would have been in total darkness. This
caused an immediate cessation of the
proceedings, and band in one of the
hanging galleries played, We Won't Go
Home Until Morning.
At the conclusion of the music Chair
man Mckinley arose and said II hope
the delegates in the hall will gee to it
that no matches are lighted. under
stand there is danger with 30 many in
the hall with lighted matches. There
should be no matches lighted"
A messenger was hurSiedly dispatchasE.
TO the plant Of the electric company for
lights.
Mr.. Fassett of New York said !:
"Owing to the darkness and the danger
that may occur from the use of matches,
and the impossibility of doing business,
move we adjourn till tomorrow at 10
O'clock" [Cries OF mo, no.nl
A delegate--I make the point of order
that no motion Is in order during roll
call.
After waiting several minutes for
lights, Miller of New York addressed
the convention, trying to secure an adj
journment, but without success.
At this point the electric current was
again turned on, and after the applause
caused by the additional light had sub
sided, the convention proceeded with
business, and the secretary continued
calling the states.
VICTORY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION.
At the close of the vote the chairman
announced: t4s
ION toe vote to substitute the minor.
ity report in the Alabama contest, the
yeas, are 42Shs and noes 4e3, and the
motion is lost"
A mighty yell greeted the announce
ment of Harrison's victory. The presi-
DENTS friends raised tremendous din.
Canes, hats, handkerchiefs, anything
that could be waved, were swung Wild
ly in triumph, while the dome seemed
to tremble with the terrific rosrs of ap-
plause.
An attempt to adjourn the convention
at this interesting juncture failed. The
hour proposed was 10 o'clock in the
morning, but it was decided by q SUBJ
stantial majority to proceed with the
business of the convention without de-
lay.

through, Nelson will have 25,OOO
plurality, the legislature will be Re-
publican and. the Supreme Bench will
remain non-partisan. MIR. Jamison's
say is here published in full:
Everything points to decisive Re-
publican victory along the whole line.
The heavy registration throughout the
State ana the immense gatherings at
public meetings show that the people
are thoroughly aroused and indicate
that the full Republican vote will be
cast. DonneIly is being deserted by
those upon whom he has counted.
Nelson's plurality will not fall below
twenty-five thousand!e The Repub-
licans will elect all of their Presiden-
tial Electors, although four of them
will have close race. The Repub-
]ican judicial ticket will be elected by
safe plurality. Latest indications
are that the next Legislature will be
Republican by a fair margin.

According to kilograms and letters

the past week nothing can be more
certain than Republican success, Ma
tional, State, Congressional and coun
ty, next Tuesday. The spirit of Re-
publicanism is breathed in the very
air; protection to American industries

the great masses located on hill and

The GAZETTE bases these ante cleo

reliable authority, kilograms and let

of the various Republican committees,
and from persons residing in the va

ABOUT ECHO.

J. 3; Wasson, an old time resident
of Redwood, was dow2 from Echo,
where he is now running a blacksmith
shop, and called on the GAZETTE last
Saturday, and from him we obtained
the following:
Echo is booming. Although, on
account OF the short crop, trade is a
trife slack, the town is going right
ahead. We now have about 200 pop
ulation, and houses for rent are a
thing unheard of. Building is going
on rapidly. Carpenters have been
rushed ever since spring opened and
unfinished buildings are numerous. A
new two story building will be occu-
pied by hardware store, making the
third in town, besides new farm i'm
plement store, new hotel, nearly done,
half dozen dwelling houses, three
blacksmith shops and a new store.

kept their force busy all summer
loading, employing three or four ex-
ira men for that purpose in each yard.
We haye no drug store nor doctor, but
both are needed and the want is sure
to be supplied ere long. Next spring
we expect to lay out public park of
five or six acres and make other public
improvements before lots become too
valuable. Yes, Echo is booming! and
SO are the farm interests about her,
and nearly every farmer has put up
new building of some sort the past
summer.

iasm-a reason that will cause the
reelection of President Harrison next
Tuesday. Mr.. Carter, in his telegram
to the GAZETTE says:
New YORK, Nov. 2, '92.
81 confidently predict the reelection
Of President Harrison. All doubt is
now removed. The Republican cleo
toral tickets will be chosen in Con-
necticut, New York, Indiana and
probably some States which still are
doubtful. The battle for protection,
reciprocity and sound currency is al
ready Won"
Chairman Hackett, of the New
York State committee, informs the
GAZETTE, as follows, by wire:
New York State will give on Tues
day week a substantial majority for
Harrison and Reid"
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Every indication points to large
Republican majority in the house of
the next Minnesota legislature "a ma
jority large enough to overcome the
fusion majority of two in the senate.
In large number Of the Legislative
districts, as is the case in this county,
the Democrats, Populists and Prohi-
bitionists have fused with the inten
ton of beating one of the ablest men
in, the United States to-day, and put
ting in his senatorial chair, Michael
Doran,the King of of wheat gamblers,
and the terror to farmers and their
wheat bins. But the fusion scheme
is not likely to be a success and that
brilliant statesman, Cushman Kellogg
Davis will be his own successor in
the United States Senate. President
John Goodnow,of the State League of
Republican clubs, wires the GAZETTE,
encouraging news to all good Repub-
