HARRISON AND REID. ¥iie feepiibiicaH $ifek%t .NoiniiiatStl at Minneapolis. President Harrison Renominated on the First Ballot and Whltrlan Reid, of Sew York Given Second Place on the Ticket. Mixneapous, Minn., Jnne 10.—At U:3?tha convention was called to order. j Pifftt. «vitg offered by Bey. Pr WajfUnd Soyl, St the First Safltlst F&drch df Mlddedfoils. v: *r .• . . David Martin- was announced as national committeeman for Pemisylvantai R. Q. Evan$ tom, Kentucky, and David J. Layton from Delaware. Consideration of the report of the committee on credentials being resumed, the chair made the gratifying announcement to the convention that Senator Qnay bad authorized him to say that no farther opposition would be made t*> the adopted of the. majority report In the Alabanja case. The dnestier. was then pytjtnd the majority report wa3 unanimously adopted amid cheers. This example was followed by those who .had intended to antagonize the Utah report on the Mormon lssne. Mr. Cnllom, after consultation with other friends of the administration, agreed not to delay nominations by raising a discussion on this question. The chairman asked Mr. Cannon, of Utah, if he desired a vote on his minority report. He said that he did. The minority report was beaten by a decided majority, and the majority *8poft was adopted, 1 . . ,,An Oregon delegate fijoTod llM the. ^dlegitfions from Indian.terntpry and Alaska t>e admittfld.with.tyro votes.eapli. , , . A motion to refer this matter to the commit - fee was made, but Chairman Cogswell of the committee got the platform and said that his committee was all ready to report. Then on motion two delegates each from Indian territory and Alaska were admitted. Mr. Duffleld, of Michigan, asked that the Michigan delegation be be allowed to retire for mnsultAtion

sifF'y* Benjamin Harrison. The chairman anrtonnc n j tha request, said that this Woltid Hot interfere With the presentation of names for ptesidentiiti hbittiitatioH. Then- Was applnsb; biit Mr. DttBield fifnpfteil it by addressing tHe chair again and stating that the Michigan delegation desired that business bo snspendo-l tintil the delegation fettirned. The chairman heard no objection to tliis request, the Michigan delegation retired and the bonvontion proceeded to the trarisactidii of scimo routine business. . Aii. excited delegate, fifom Sdnfh t'ardliiia; ,oii behalf of 125,t*00 republicans of Oklahoma, demanded that the six delegates elected from that territory he accredited their seats in the convention. His demand passed unheeded. The chair announced that it was very necessary to have the list of members of the national committee filled up, and directed the clerk to call over tho roll ot states. Those which had not yet made selections were Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina and Utah. In the interim, while tho convention waited until the Michigan delegation decided th9 momentous question as to whether or not' Alger’s name should bo presented as a candidate, there were cries for “Ingalls” for a speech, bnt the chair recognized Warner Miller, of New York, who sent np to ttie desk and had read a woman's suffrage memorial Mr. Miller asked that the officers of theWoman'8 Republican association named in the communication be presented to tiye convention, and this was done. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was escorted to the platform, and read an address In a shrill voice with many oratorical gestures. Tho lady orator, as she warmed up with her subject, laid aside her notos and addressed the convention with a fluency and force which elicited frequent applause. At the close other address the "owl” delegation of last night set np a plaintive hoot which raised a laugh. One of the Alabama delegation, admitting with shamo and humiliation that there was a fight in the delegation, asked for a poll on the question of tho election of a national committeeman, and was proceeding to wash tho soiled linen of the delegation in public, but the chairman cut him off by saying, amid laughter, that the convention accorded the Alabama delegation “further time to correct their arithmetic.” A resolution was offered, with the request that it be read. There was objection. Thon the chairman impressively announced that the next order of business Was the presentation of names for the nomination for president, and a great cheer went up from the convention, The chair announced that it had been the eastern in past years to call the roll for the presentation of candidates. He asked whether tho convention wished this. There were mingled cries of “yes" and “no,” and the chairman, deciding that the convention desired to follow precedent, ordered the roll called. When Colorado was reached Mr. Wolcott arose and presented the name of James Q. Blain-v amid great cheering from the Blaine delegates: When Indiana was reached there was applause. which was renewed ten-fold when the venerable R. W. Thompson walked np the aisle and took tho platform. Standing with a fan clutched in both hands Mr. Thompson said: GENTLEMEN OK THE CONVENTION:—I do not intend to make a speech. I propose to make a nomination for the presidency which shall strike a chord of sympathy in every trne republican heart. I propose to nominate for the presi - dency a man who does not seek elevation by the detraction of anv other great republican. I do not propose, however, to defend his history or his life Defore this convention, because that will be done in words of burning and prophetic eloquence which can not he surpassed in any other country in the world. Therefore, in these simple' words d nominate to this convention for the presidency of the United States the warrior statesman, Benjamin Harrison. The counter demonstration of the Harrison men came with enthusiasm. Fans and umbrellas were in the air delegates stood on their chairs, and Hen. Fred Douglass, waving his white hat on top of his cane, led the cheering that was sustained for twenty minntee or more. The chairman sat down until the tumult subsided. Then he ordered the roll-call continued. When Michigan was reached someone in tho galleries cried out: “What’s the matter with Alger!" but there was only a slight langh from the convention. Then Minnesota was called for, and Mr. Euutis took the platform to second thc-norntnation of Blaine. The convention did not greet Mr. Eu-tis’ remarks with any enthusiasm when they were delivered. But when they were concluded an incident occurred which sent the convention off into the greatest tumult it had yet known. Just as the applause was dying out, Mrs. B. C. Kerens, wife of the national committeeman from Missouri, and Mrs. Carson Lake, of New York, who sat beside her, started the cheering again, waving their parasols. The convention went with them. The delegates climbed on their chairs to see the two lone women on the platform behind the chairman cheering and encouraging the applause. Tho fact that Mr. Kerens is a delegate instructed for Harrison made the incident all the more interesting to those in the convention who knew it. Big Tom Rend,who sat just in front of'Mrs. Kerens, took np the movement. His face meltad into a broad grin as he stood np waving a silk flag in honor of his old-time enemy. All over the convention hail the delegates were crying “Bl»in9, Blaine, James G. Blaine.” Delegates opened th-ir umbrellas and waved them aloft. One of them was white, with Blaine's name in big black letters. The confusion was indescribable and the noise deafening. It culminated when the l>and struck up. No one could tell what it was playing. Only the heat of tha brass drum coiild be heard above the din. When th9 band stopped the cheering did not. Mrs Kerens' companion folded her white parasol and waved a silk flag almost over the chairman's head. It fed the flames of the convention’s excitement anew. The "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine.” fell Into line. Men fell into Harmony and the cry went up

the chorus of, “Blaine, BiKine, James Q. Blaine,M on the floor with both arms ontftFefqfied litfe ^ lead of A •*hn*‘rts ill Ai% comic op?ra.

A delegate tried to gel the platform to propose I hroe cheers for Mrs. Kerens, but in the confusion he might as well have talked to a blank wall. Tom Reed led the last outburst, sitting back of tho platform waving Ills straw hat. It was at about this time that tho HarrisOrt men started some kissing, but it was drowned in the outburst of cheers that followed. Then the band brought.

I$s call brought most of, the delegates to order for a minute, but tbs confusion in the galleries continued, and Mrs. Kerens waving a paper star with a picture of Biaine on it, the delegates started another demonstration. Again the chairman pounded tho table and again hissing mingled with the cheers. After £earty^ thirty minutes of pandemonium. Gov. _Jlef's '•mce WU* at last heard requesting as a matter of safety, siig£es!ef* b* *^8^ baring • knowledge of the building, that tile stamping of feet be discontinued. “You may yell all you please," he added in reply to a delegate from Illinois. A colored delegate from Illinois, W. E. Molllson, was recognised, and the noisp-mnkers, who understood that he was in favor of their candidate, allowed him to take the platform. He made some telling points as to the denial Of suffrage in the southern states," saying that Mississippi had already cast its vote for Cleveland day nofoW yesterday.

The chairman announced that five or six gentlemen from the states which had been called desired to speak, but the last few speeches had evidently tired 'the convention of oratory. There were cries of “No” and “Vote” and Gen. Howell, of New Jersey, got the floor and moved that the convention proceed to ballot. The motion Was Put and carried by a rousing chorus of “ayes. ” There were Some scattering “nos?,” and the contention cheered the announcement that the roll would be called.

Minneapolis, June 10.—The evening session of the convention was littio more than a ratification meeting. The nomination for the vieepresidency was selected in a meeting of the New York delegation held an hour before til*: convention was called to order. By tacit consent the naming of the vice-presidential candidate was left tothe New York delegation. The delegation at its mee ting was not long in arriving at the conclusion to present th9 name of ex-Minister Whitelaw Keid. The only other name discussed was that of Vice-President Morton, and in the end the agreement upon Mr. Reid was unanimous. John C. New was interviewed by a United Press reporter this evening in relation to the preference of the Harrison leaders for second place on the ticket. He said that bis personal preference was the old ticket—Harrison and Morton—but that he was willing to let the New Yorkers settle it, and Mr. Keid would be ac ceptable to him. Mr. Clarkson was met by a United Press reporter in one of the corridor of the Wost about an hour after the nomination was made. He was not slow about expressing his disappointment and displeasure. “We c-enid have beaten Harrison," he said, “if we had been able a little sooner to give a positive assurance that Mr. Blaine would accept tho com nation. We were not really able to do this ur. til last Saturday. Even after that we conld have won hut tor the feeling aroused by Mr. Blaine’s resignation from the cabinet. We made a good fight and lost. I am not sorry. We made the effort to j nominate somebody beside Mr. Harrison and ! for the good of the party, and I sincerely regret that we did not suoeeod.’’ In relation to the organisation of the new national committee, Mr. Clarkson said he could make no prediction, as two-thirds of the members! were new men. He did not care to disenss t he probability of his t re-election to the chairmanship.
