The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-06-09

lessly waited the demonstration
to follow. 1t came in the following
sentence "our party furnished Lin
coin" (applause) Seward, Grant.
These men were great and will al
ways remain great because of growth
in the line of devotion to Republican
doctrine and Republican principles.
But Garfield, Harrison and Blaine are
great Republicans. The words Har-
rison and Blaine were mentioned so
rapidly that friends of the former
were so surprised they had no oppor-
tunity to cheer their leader but the
Blaine men made most of the occasion
and for three minutes the delegates
waved their hats, handkerchief,
canes, anything wildly in the air and
cheered the majestic man from Maine.
Almost equal to the Blaine ovation
was reference to the work of the
Fifty-first Congress "under the iron
will and strong arm of Thomas b.
Reed" Reed Reed! was the cry
instantly started but not
until the chairman of the
convention beckoned commandingly
did he arise from his seat. Once hav-
ing arisen he was not allowed to re-
sumo his seat until he had made q
speech, which was more than we'll re-
ceived.
The following officers were then
announced as having been selected
by the national COMMITTEES: SecIe-
taries-Chas. w. johnson of Mime
sofa, Carson Lake of New York, Geo.

by acclamation, and it was ordered

ing Republican convention. Ex-Sen-

captad tho follow;nr.
Resolved, that the roll of states and
territories be called and the chairman
ofeach delegation announce the names
of the persons selected to serve on

The resolution was adopted and the
roll call of the states began. Alabama
passed until her delegates could hold
conference. This was agreed to and
then each state as called announced
through the chairman what members
1t had chosen to serve on committees.
When the name OF Kansas was
called Ex-senator Ingalls, made re-
port as chairman of that delegation.
He was heartily applauded. An
equally fiattering ovation greeted

in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public when he presented the report
of the Missouri delegation, and Gov
ernor Mckinley when he submitted
the report of Ohio. The announce
ment of Ex-Governor Foraker as one
of the committee on resolutions
also received hearty approval Senator

after the.completion of the call of states
and announcement of the membership
of the various states, the convention
