THE REPUBLICANS.

Assembling of the National Convention in the City of Chicago. Hon. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, Made Temporary Chairman. Chairman Jones Sits Down on a Kansas Delegate Who Raises an Objection. A Scene of Brilliancy in the Great Hall—The First Day’s Proceedings. Chicago, June 20,1558. The Republican National Convention assembled in the great Auditorium Building, on Michigan avenue, yesterday, and was called to order by Chairman B. F. Jones, of the National Com'Xnittee. Larger assemblages have been held in more -spacious halls, but at none of them have the ocu-

"lar properties been so effective or the brilliancy •of illumination-and picturesque colorings been so splendid. Every face could be seen without effort, and on audience of less than ten thousand appeared to be an almost countless multitude. The magnificent sweep of the great gallery alone, which seats nearly three thousand persons, is a picture which impresses even those familiar with great audiences, and the whole scene bathed in a flood of electric light shed by 2,500 incandescent lamps, thrills even the most "sluggish heart. The Auditorium is 200 feet longhand 120 feet wide, with two side balconies and a great] gallery, the seats in which rise tier on tier at an angle of 40 -degrees. The stage, which is but slightly raised above the floor of the hall, commands a view, not only of the great audience in front, but of a largebalcony in the rear and a tier of boxes at either ■side. This stage stretches from side to side of the hall, and accommodates, in addition to the President’s platform, which is in the center, several hundred newspaper representatives. There are just 8,100 seats in the hall. The decorations appear a trifle bewildering at first. The walls, the ceiling, and every post, pillar, and panel is covered with flags, bunting, and streamers in varied artistic design and colors, and portraits and paintings of historic scenes meet the eye everywhere. It was exactly 12:31 p. m. when Chairman Jones of the National Committee plied a gavel that gave forth a hard, metallic round. A hush fell upon the enormous audience, and then the Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus of Plymouth Congregational Church came forward to invoke the ■divine blessing. The prayer over, Secretary Samuel Fessenden read the call. Chairman Jones then introduced J. M. Thurston of Nebraska as the temporary Chairman of the convention. Delegate Osborn of Kansas objected to the assumption on the part of the National Committee of the right to name the temporary Chairman, and asked if Mr. Thurston had been elected by the ednvention. Chairman Jones replied in an emphatic affirmative, for which he was vigorously applauded. But Mr. Osborn was not to be subdued, and, in the name of the Kansas delegation, declined to be responsible for the action of the National Committee in this matter, and regarded it as a great mistake. [Hisses.] He desired the toll of the. States to be called in order that the Kansas delegation might cast' its vote for the Hon. William Warner of Missouri. No attention was paid to his demand, however, and Mr. Thurston immediately began his address. Mr. Thurston’s reference to Blaine's refusal to allow himself to be nominated by the convention called forth cries of “No," over the hall, but his declaration that the convention •dare-not commit the offense of going contrary to Blaine’s express wish was wildly applauded. All through his references to Blaine were cheered, as were also references to the other candidates, but much less enthusiastically. The Chair then announced a long list of Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries ana Sergeants-at-arms of the temporary organization. After the reacting of the list of officers was completed, the band struck up a medley of national airs, which were warmly received by the audience. Mr. Horr, of Michigan, was recognized, and, ascending the platform, said: “I am requested by the delegation from my State to present to the temporary Chairman of this convention for his use a caval made or the •oak under which the Republican party was organized on the 6th of July, 1854, in the village 6r city of Jackson, in the State of Michigan. [Applause.] This gavel has on it copper, wool, wood, iron, salt [laughter], the five industries the party now in power would ruin and abolish from the lace of this country. We thought it was meet that this convention should commence early to pound the daylight out of that partv. and there-

lore beg permission of the convention to presept this gavel to the temporary Chairman." Chairman Thurston accepted the gavel with the remark that he would commence to pound the life out of the Democratic party with it. [Laughter and applause.] Judge Moody, of Dakota, moved that Dakota ■be allowed ten votes instead of two in the pro-

that whenever a Territory had increased its population in such proportion as to justify it, its vote in the convention was increased. Chairman Thurston stated that the National Committee had recommended that Dakota be allowed ten votes during the preliminary proceedings of the convention, and that Washington Territory, by the grace of the Democratic party, be allowed six. On motion of Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania the rules of the last convention were adopted for the government of the present convention until further action. Mr. Hallowell, of Kansas, offered the following: “The delegates to the Republican ? Convention, representing the surviving comrades of the distinguished soldier and General of the army, Philip Sheridan, and representing also the living principles for which he so gallantly fought and triumphed during the gr§at era of the war, send him their sincere congratulations on the prospect of his recovery, and hope that his life may be preserved for many years.” The resolution was greeted with cheers, and was adopted by a rising vote. The immense audience joined with the delegates in doing honor to the sick soldier. Mr. George Davis, of Illinois, moved that the roll of States and Territories be called, and that each State and Territory proceed to name its of the committees on rules, on resolutions, on permanent organization, credentials, and order of business. This was agreed to, and the call was proceeded with. When Dakota was reached it was agreed to suspend the call, and the names of committees were handed up in writing. The Secretary proceeded to call the list, as follows : Permanent Organization— Alabama, I. N. Carter ; Arkansas, D. W. Ellison; California, J. F. Ellison; Colohuio, Irving Howbert; Connecticut, S. L.

“There now remains,” he said, “the question as to what delegates from the State of Virginia shall be permitted to name the mem.

bers of these several committees from that State.” Mr. Wise, of Virginia, took the floor and stated his side of the case, and he was followed bv Gen. Mahone. Each made nerioui

charges against the other, and indulged in some rather severe language. “You are in my district," exclaimed Wise, “and I charge you with the frauds by which I was cheated out of my seat.” Mr. Mahoue—lt is as false as you are foul. [General cries of “Order.] Mr. Wise—l will put the proper stamp upon that at the proper time. [Great confusion then prevailed for a moment, when Mr. Mahone again attempted to speas, but got no farther than “Well, then, gentle,men ’’ when he was interrupted by a loud and universal cry of “Wise."] <•' Mr. Spalding, of Michigan, suggested that the whole matter should be referred to the Committee on Credentials, which was don§. The Chair said that he desired to make a pleasing announcement. The Nebraska delegation had with it as their guest the first nominee of the Republican party for the Presidency and desired to present him to the convention. They desired to present John C. Premont. This announcement wm received with cheers, and the convention voted, to allow Chairman Green, of the Nebraska delegation, to present General Fremont. When Mr. Green appeared upon the stage with General Fremont there was an outburst of applause which lasted several moments. General Fremont was warmly greeted as he was presented. He was unwilling, he said, to delay the business of the convention, and therefore he would consume only a few moments ol time. But he would feel that he carried an insensible clod, and not a warm and sympathetic heart, in his breast if he were not sensibly grateful for the welcome he had received. He was happy and proud to receive here, in this great national assembly, the welcome given by” his friends and companions of many years by his party friends, by the men and the sons of the men with whom it has bean his conspicuous hopior to have been associated in the first opening campaign in 1856. [Applause.! Fred Douglass was then presented,amid cheer* and applause, and made a brief speech, at the conclusion of which the convention adjourned for the day.

Warren. “And we further feport that we would give authority to such States as have not yet named a candidate for Vice-President to hereafter name such officer." The honorary Secretaries’ names were also read. A motion to adopt the report of the Committee upon Permanent Organization was put by the Chair and unanimously adopted. Chairman Estee was introduced by Mr. Thurston, and as soon as the applause had subsided he made a five-minute speech of thanks to the convention. “Gentlemen of the convention,” said he, “I thank you in the name of the States and Territories of the Pacific coast, as well as from my own heart, for the distinguished honor you have seen fit to confer upon me. I appreciate to the fullest extent the grave responsibilities which devolve upon me. and this being a Republican convention I shall ask in all things its charitable judgment and its candid and earnest support. Gentlemen of the convention, following so illustrious a gentleman as your temporary Chairman, I shall not attempt to detain you by any lengthy speech. I only want to say to you that we live so far away from the center of the republic over on the ‘ Pacific shore that I can not even guess who your nominee is going to be. [Laughter.] I say further to you, my friends and gentlemen of the convention, that I am not able to say exactly what your platform will be, but the people of the country have echoed its sentiments, and the rattle of the skirmish line was heard only two weeks ago from Oregon [great apulause], and, God willing, next November you will hear from Cleveland’s Appomattox all over this great Republic. [Cheers,] My friends and gentlemen of the convention, again thanking you for the very hi,h honor you have conferred upon me, and trusting from the depth of my soul that every act done may promote the best interests of our common country and advance the great Republican party, I will call for the next order of business.” [Applause.] When the applause that acknowledged Chairman Estee’s brief speech had subsided Delegate Roche, of Illinois, presented to the convention a magnificent gavel made of gold and silver. It was the gift of Giles Bros., jewelers of Chicago, and cost SI,OOO. Next Delegate Works, of Illinois, got the floor, and presented the convention with another gavel, made of wood from a desk used in the Grant tannery at Galena. “Yesteiday,” remarked Mr. Works, “the Michigan delegation presented to the temporary Chairman of this convention a gavel with which it was proposed to pound to death the Democracy. I, on behalf of the Illinois delegation, take great pleasure in presenting to you, Mr. Chairman, this gavel, with this sentiment: Having pounded to death the Democratic party, we will now proceed to tan his hide.” Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, then read the report of the Committee on- Rules, which, after considerable debate, was adopted. Mr. Husted, of New Work, moved that the convention vote the committee authority to issue 200 tickets to old Union soldiers now in the city. This motion was carried with only slight dissent. After all the preliminaries were ended the Chair recognized Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, who sent in the following resolution, which was read: “Resolved, By the Republican party of the "United States of America assembled in national convention, that we tender to the German nation our sympathy in this hour of their great bereavement and great sorrow caused by the death of their ruler, the Emperor, King Frederick of Germany.” The reading of this resolution produced great applause, and when he could be heard Mr. Wellington addressed the Chair and convention in support of the resolution. When he had finished, Mr. Harris, of North Carolina, stated that the Committee on Resolutions had prepared a resolution which was hot a port of the platform, and which might be read now. The resolution was read, as follows : “We tender to the German people our heartfelt sympathy in the double loss they have recently sustained in the decease of the great man under whose reign Geimany has become a united nation, and that other great man, his liberal-minded, peace-loving, and noble son.” The Chair—Gentlemen of the convention, those in favor of the adoption of the resolution just read will rise to their feet.” The entire convention arose, and the motion was declared unanimously carried amid great applause. Astor ion? and weary waiting the Committee on Credentials at last announced itself as ready to report, and tte Chairman, Mr. W. p. Hepturn of lowa, came forward with the papers m his hand. He announced that the committee had taken the printed lists as correct except in case of contest. There were nineteen cases of contest, few of them of much interest save that in Virginia. In the latter case, after a three hours' debate the Mahcne delegates at large and the Wise district delegates were seated. This Wrvictory for the Wise nwn. It '.vas nearly midnight, and the conrecnvu adjourned until 10 e’clock this morning.

SEEKING A LEADER.

The Fifth Day of the Republican Convention Passes Without Result. After Two Unsuccessful Ballots a Large Majority Votes for Adjournment. Chicago, June 25,1888. The proceedings of the fifth day or the National Republican oonvent ion w.re opened Saturday morning with prayer by Bishop Fallows, of Chicago. The real business of the day was then inaugurated by a short speech bv Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, It was culled out by the fact that on every ballot a few straggling votes were being cast for him. He said he was in the convention pledged by every consideration of honor to do all in his power to promote the candidacy of John Sherman, and he protested with great earnestness against being put in a false light by these stray votes. He not only requested that the thing stop, but went so far as to demand it. The convention then proceeded to take a fourth ballot. When the name of Alabama was celled every one in the audience waited excitedly fjr the vote. It was thought that this State, being the first on the call, might start the expected stampede for Blaine. The Maine man, however, did not receive a vote until California was reached, and Col. Haymond, in his usual enthusiastic manner, cast sixteen votes for him. As the roll-call preceded and tho gains for Harrison began to be apparent there was considerable applause, but when New York was reached and the Chairman announced 59 votes fcr the Indiana man the cheers that went up were deafening. The expected break for|Harris<n had come, It was not a surprise. After the applause hod died away the roll of the State was demanded and the eheers quickly changed to hisses from the galleries. The Blaine men looked wise, the Sherman enthusiasts confident. It was not on the carpet that the 4th ballot should show any very material change in the situation. But Illinois ? Three of her men proved recreant to Gresham and cast their voten for Harrison, This was on unexpected accession to the forces of the General, and, coming as it did from the very center of the Gresham movement, it created as much excitement as the 59 votes that were plumped by New York. Old Fred Douglass, who was seated on the stage, beamed in a beatific manner when Kentucky gave him one vote. He was proud—proud of tho hearty reception ho had been accorded; prouder still of the fact that his race had l>een so far honored in a great convention; that he, as its representative, had received a vote for the nomination to the Presidency. Kentucky ■also cast a vote for Foraker. The next break to be made was by Wisconsin. Rusk had been di opped from the roll and when the State of the pineries was called, Harrison received 2) out of her 26 votes. From the start it was evident that no choice would be reached and the gains of Harrison were not groat enough to cause alarm iu the ranks of the other oaudidatos. The fourth ballot resulted as follows : f h irman 236 Blaine 42 Harrison 217 McKinley 11 Alger 135 Lincoln 11 Gresham 98 Foraker 1 Allison 88 Douglass 1 After all the deals and combinations of the night and early morning, it became ajfparent as soon as the totals of the vote were announced that Harrison aftor ull was far enough away from the nomination. He had, of course, climbed up very high on the ladder in securing 217, but John Sherman still held his cohorts" behind him and led the race with 236. Ihe fifth ballot was then proceeded with. It was no very tame affair, for tho moment the California men announced their solid 16 for Blaine the convention turned loose, in spite of the Chairman, and yelled a hoarse salute to the man beyond the sen. It was a noticeable feature of the balloting all through that Maine never cast even a straggling vote for its great son. The name of Blaine was never uttered by tho Maine men from first to last, but everybody knew what they were ready to do when the proper time came. When New Hampshire was called it was seen that Harrison-had made a gain of three, the entire delegation giving him its total of eight votes. There was a little cheer at this, and a moment after New York was reached. The same sh-sh-sh which greeted tho name or the Empire State when it was announced in the first roll-call marked it again this time. The hissing s< und was followed by a dead silence. Then New York said: “Pass for a moment." This created Intense excitement. Some change or break of vital importance was expected after this announcement, and everybody awaited it in great anxiety. But when the announcement was made it disappointed everybody, for it was practically the same as it was iu the first ballot. Thus the call went on to the end. The result of thj fifth ballot by States was as folic we: States f = g 3 « | AND .” g g g | g Territories. : ; ; B b B Alabama 8.... 1.... 2 9 Arkansas 14 California 16 Colo’ado 6 Connecticut..... 2 6.... 3 Delp.-. a:e. 1 1 1 3....

Total votes, 832; total votes cast, 827; necessaiy to choice, 417. McKinley received six votes from New Jersey, three from West Virginia, and one each from Connecticut, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Texas. And yet the break for Blaine had not come. The dead-lock was as strong as ever. It was evident that the balloting was fruitless, Ae soon as the vote had been announced and qunt wae restored ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio arose in his seat and moved that the convention take a recess till 4 o'clock. The motion was carried without any material opposition. The delegates reassembled, and at eight minutes after 4 Chairman Estee cleared his throat and announced that the convention was ready to proceed with business. Mr. King, of Maryland, sprang to his feet and said: “I move that this conventitn adjourn without ballot until 11 o'clock on Monday morning.” The motion was carried by a vote of 496 yeas to 322 nays, and Chairman Estee declared the convention adjourned.
