TIE CONVENTION BUILDING.

Mr.. Fassett thanked the convention for
the honor conferred upon him and made
an eloquent plea for harmony, saying
that the delegates should sink all per-
sonal feeling in the attempt to select
candidate who would serve the interest
of the party and the people. He re-
ferred to the leaders of the party in the
past and also to Harrison and Blaine.
He eulogized the policies of protection
and reciprocity and earnestly pleaded
for free and honest ballot and fair
count, impressing upon his hearers the
necessity for giving every citizen the
fullest protection in the matter of suf-
frage, closing by saying that so long as
there was a wrong to be righted the
mission of the republican party was not
fulfilled.
The hall was very quiet as Mr.. Fas-
sett began. The delegates woke up
when he spoke of reciprocity and there
was enthusiastic applause. The Blaine
sentiment came out in the dramatic
presentation of the Maine mans name
As he named the leaders of the party
he paused after Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
and the others for the round of applause
he knew would come. When he came
to Harrison and Blaine he brought
the two out in one breath, so that the
applause of the Harrison men would
seem to mingle with the applause of the
Blaine men III recognition of the ex-sec-
retary of state. There was much en-
thusiasm and the applause was re-
newed again and again. At another
point in his speech Mr.. Fassett made
another significant pause after his allu-
sion to the foreign policy of the admin
istration, but it awolle comparatively
little enthusiasm. When Mr.. Fassett
subsequently named Thomas B. Reed
the convention went wild for few
minutes and Mr.. Reed being detected in
the rear gallery sitting in group of
ladies, every eye was turned upon him.
He descended from the gallery to the
stage and made a short speech.
His speech was received with enthu-
siasm. Bowing his thanks as he con-
cluded, Mr.. Reed returned to his seat.
Then there We're cries for Mckinley and
amid great enthusiasm he bowed his
thanks. The cries of Me Kinley, min

of temporary secretaries and reading

The report was adopted and Mr. Sew
ell, of New Jersey, offered resolution
for the appointment of one member of
the committees on permanent organiza-
ton, rules, order of business, creden-
tials and resolutions from each delega-

that if there was no objection the con-
vention would be governed for the time
by the rules of the last republican ma
tional convention. No objection was
offered. Mr.. Sewelrs resolution was
adopted and the secretary began calling
the roll for the appointment of the
committees. The first state called was
Alabama. The chairman of the dele

Louisiana was reached, delegate arose
and entered a protest. The chairman
declared the protest out of order and
the call proceeded. William Warner,
the republican nominee for governor OF
Missouri, was greeted with enthusiasm.
Warner Miller, who read New YorlS's

ceived another ovation and when he
reached ex-Gov Foraker's name on the
list there was applause, as did Senators
