PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 49,
With the arrival of the advance guard
and the opening session of the nation
al Republican Committee to-day, Phil
adelphia has begun to assume a con-
vention air.
The committee had its first meeting
to-day and Immediately began consid-
GRAFTON of contests. These are not
numerous and relate principally to the
regularity of State and district or
CARNATIONS. Practically the only con-
tests of importance are those from Del
aware and Tennessee.
The contests from Alabama consum-
ed the entire afternoon and resulted
in decision not to place the names
OF any of the contesting delegates on
the temporary rolls.
Practically the only topic of con-
Versation is the candidate for vice
president. Senator Hanna has devoted
almost the entire time since his arrival
TO this question and has been in fire.
quent conference with other leaders
During the noon recess of the COM
mittee Senator Hanna held prolonged
conference with Senator Scott, of West
Virginia. Hon. Joseph H. Manley and
Mr.. Henry B. Payne, probably the
three Oldest members of the national
committee, in point of service. When
they dispersed all agreed that the ques-
ton OF the vice presidency was still
open. There was general confession
OF concern over the situation, but at
the same time a feeling that in the
end the right man would be found.
we want said a member of this
quartette, a man for vice president
who would be big enough man for
president in case the necessity should
arrive for him to become such. We
do not care where he comes from .
he added I'VE will waive the geo.
graphical question if we can get the
right man in other respects"
This statement expresses the gen.
eral sentiment among the members of
the committee.
A practical and thorough test was
made of the acoustic properties of the
convention hall this afternoon. Mem
bers of the national committee and the
local organizations that have taken
part in the preparation of the build
ing for convention purposes assembled
and listened TO test speeches made by
Mayor Ashbridge, Sergeant-at-Arms
Wilwell, Chairman Dobbins, of the
building committee, and others. The
band was in the place it will occupy
during the convention and men were
stationed in the remote sections of the
hall to listen to the speeches and mu-
sic. All reported the acoustics every
thing that could be desired.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 13-After a
continuous session of over nine hours
the Democratic State convention adj
journed tonight
1t was a slate smashing and record
breaking convention. The Mclean men
said yesterday they were asking for
nothing and they certainly got nothing
They helped those who have been OPP
posing them to the places of party dis
tinction and responsibility.
1t was this free for all situation that
brought about the decentralization of
the day. There were some who insist
ed on taking their cues from the dele
gates of Hamilton county, the home of
John K. Mclean, as usual, but the Gin
cinnati delegates were hard to follow
to-day.
Louis Reemelyn, of Cincinnati, was
defeated last night for chairman of the
State committee when he had on his
own account and without consulting
even the Cincinnati delegates, after the
Mclean men had been declaring they
would ask for nothing, and his broth
er's name was to-day presented for
and withdrawn on authority of the
Hamilton county delegation.
AT the same time the Hamilton coun-
ty delegation cast its vote solidly for
other favorites. There was a notable
absence of the Mclean leaders here this
week and very few of those who were
In the city, outside of the delegates,
went to the convention hall.
The Mclean men took an interest in
their friends whose seats were con-
tested, especially the Bowling dele
gates from Dayton, and it was then
that charges began to be made against
the assistant secretaries. Finally,
after. the first ballot for delegates at
large, 1t was found that they were in
accurate-that the vote as announced
showed only three elected. After the
chair declared Kilbourne, Patrick and
Thomas elected and ordered the second
ballot for the fourth member of the
Big Four" it WIS found on reviewing
and verifying the vote that George w.
Hull, of Toledo, had 26S1a votes on the
first ballot and 367 was necessary to
elect. This discovery was not made
until after Chapman, on the third bal
lot, was elected, and then Chairman
Huntington held there could be no go
ing behind the returns after the vote
was announced and Chapman had been
declared one of the delegates at large
While it was difficult for any clerks
to make accurate foo1Ags, when dele
gates and others were rushing onto lie
platform and crowding about their
tables, there were those on the floor of
the convention who gave in returns
that were not reliable
Many delegates left on late afternoon
and evening trains and men who are
mot delegates answered the call for
counties whose delegates had gone
home. The more noise and confusion,
the greater the opportunity of these
professional substitutes and the con-
vention at $50 p. m. was beyond con-
troll. Hon. Charles w. Baker was
then presiding and he sent for a squad
of twenty police, ordering them to clear
the aisles, knock down those who
would not sit down and compel the
howlers to subside. The police filed
down the aisles and maintained order
for the last hour of the convention.
The resolutions adopted indorse and
instruct for Bryan, and the Chicago
platform.
