s ntfuTu \ tie ei i ecle 'd , me ~ Conventi on stionTd \bc governed b y the r u l o i of the last preceding l lepnblican con vention. Immediatel y after completion of the call o£ slates and announcement of membership ot various committee? , the convention adjourned u ntil eleven o ' clock nex t day, Sccoml L My. Adeterm lnation to Ret all the Hve>lincBs and fun possible out of the Republican conven- tion , if graver matters proved impossible o focus , seemed lo be the determination of every bod y when the bi g gathering puilcJ itself to get her . The first eheer i n ? , was when McKinley entered , and the ovation lacked none of its heartin ess. Ingalls , of Kansas , cot a quick volley of loud recognition when he put in ap c rnrancc. It was then close to noon and the ball was crowded almost to its utmost capacity, when Chairma n Fa s sett pounded for order , and pro- ceedings were opened wl:h a prayer by Bishop U- P. Whi pple , of Minneapoli s The next thing in frder was the report oi tlie ro m roH i o . „n cre<l - nti iil» . Th a Holt E . & L ockwood then presented the report ot the committee on orgun ' s ation. A wild scene took p ' ace when the commit- tee repor ted Gov. William McKinley oi Ohio for per manent chairm an , ^ linn. Samuel Fessr u den , of Connection'; F j -Sena!or Spooner . o f \\ 11 cousin , and (Jen. William Mahor.e , of Virg i n ia , were appointed a c mmlltee to escort Governor McKin ley to the chai r . A mssnificent ovation greeted the governor when he stepped npon the p ' at f < r m. At the conclusion of McKinley ' * speech Hon. Heniy Bin g hi i m , of 1' . im s ylvnnln , presented t - ie report ot the ruloi committee and it was adopted by aeclamatio i . Variou s resolutions and petitions which hnlbem introduced and sent to the clerk' s des k were read by lit o and referred to (lie commi tee on resolutions. . \The ne x uhing on the 11 t is the nomina - t' oh~ 6r cann r ri i rFs ror (.fib rresi (l j i.cy, \' 6aW Chairman McKinley. Senator Culloin , of Ill' noin , arose to ques- tion the regularity of tills order ot busin es s , but the convention , supposin g he hiul arisen to place some on • in nomination , com pli- mented the distin . uished Illinoisan with pro- longed appl ause . The Senator was slightly embarra s sed , but quickl y recove ring ho stated tha t he ro e to question the rogula rity of proceedin g to nominatini c speeches before the adopt on of the reports of the committees on credential s and resolutions. A glance at the rules showed that noniinat ' ons could not be mad e until the reports of the committ e es had bee n received , and on motion ot Hon. M. II. De Youn g, of C a li/ornin , the co .veutku a d journed until 11 o ' clock next day. ' Third Day. Eleven o ' clock , the hour set for the opening of the convention , came and passed , ar.d there were no symptoms of readiness to get down to business. At 11.27 Chairma n McKinley, with a few vi gorous raps of his gavel , called for order , but a couple of minutes or more were occu- p ied by the great m»fs of people iu rustling into comparative silence. The Key. William Rusk , chancellor of the University of South Dakota , opened the pro - ceedings with prayer. The presiden t—The regular order this morning is the report of the committee < n credentials , and I recogni m General Cogs- well , of Massachusetts ' , chair man of that committee. General Cogswell—Mr. President , the com- miit e e en credentials is t t 11 in session. It hopes to be able to report in full at S o ' clock. Genera l Sewell , ol New Jersey— \As it is impossible to go ou with any work in the con- vention untill the report ot the committee on credentials is made , I move that a recess be taken till S o ' clock this evening. \ The convention accordingly took a recess until 8 P. M. The evening session of the convention was confined to n dbcu s sion of the report? , ma- jority and minority, of the credenti a ls com» mittce. At midni ght in tho midst of a heated debate the electric li g hts were turned off from the ce ntra l station , and a fcnrlul panic was mily avoided b y t he coo ' .ness of Chairman Mc- Kinley. The finish of the first lest roll-call as to Presidential preferences wns interrupted , Lu * otherwise all was safe. The vote of -163 to 423 on the credentials committee report is a test vote and the cooler heads of tiie convention acknowled ge that Harrison has enough v» tis to nominal ' ; him. An attempt to adjourn tl.e convention at this interesting juncture failed. At one o ' clock Mr. Forak e r , chairman of the committee on re - .olutions , advanced to tho p latform and asked for unanimous consent to rend the plntlorm. This was g iven and he proceeded as Jollows: Tho ri ntform. Following is the full text of the platform as com p leted by the committee on resolutions: The representatives of the Republicans of the United States , assembled in general con- vention on the shores of the Mississippi River , the cverlostinr bond of an indestructible re- public , !whose most g lorious chapter of history is the re cord of the Republican parly, co n- gratulate their countrymen on the majestic march of the nation under the banners in- scribed with the princi ples of our platform of 1888 , vindicated by victory at the polls and prosperity in our fields , workshop * and mines and make the following declaration oi princi- ples: P R OTECTION. We reaffirm the American doctrine of pro- tection. We call attention to its growth abroad. We maintain that the prosperous condition otou r country is largely due to the w ise revenue leg islat' oa of the Republican Congress. We b eliev j that nil nrtic ' es which cannot be produce 1 in the United States , excep t luxuries , shou 'd be admitted frecof duty, and that on all imports coming into competitio n with the products with American labor there should be levied duties fqua ) to the differ - enoe between wages abroad and at home. We assert that the ,prices of manuf actured art cle s of general consumption have been re- d uced under the operations of tho larifl net of 1890. We denounce the efforts of the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives ^ to destroy our tariff laws as is manifested ' b y their attacks upon wool , 1< ad and lead ores , the chief product of a number of state!- , and we ask the people for their jud gment there- on. We point to the success of the Republican policy of reciprocity, under wnioli our export trade has vastly increased and new and en- larged mar kets have been opened of the pro- ducti of our farm s and workshops . We re mind the peop le of the bitter opprsi- (ion of the Democra tic parly to this practical business measure , and claim that , executed 'by a Republican administration* , our presen t laws will eventua ll y g ive us contr ol of the ' trade oi the world. GOLD AKD SILVKB. . ' The Americ an people from traditi on and in- /ter est favor bl - metall sm, an d the Republican party demands the use ot both gold and silver as standard money, with such ri s tri ctions and under such provisions to be determined by the le gislation as will secure the maintenanc e ofthe ps rlty of values of the two ' t netal s . n o that the purchasing ami tlebt - psyiu ^ power of the dol ar , whether of silver , gold or paper , shall b « at all times equal. The interests ot the PIoJo « j»oU i « country, i b i far * r -¦ «<id C ONVEXTIO X BUILDING , MINNEAPOLI S. slice of most friendly relations with all foreign powers , entangling alliance with none , and the protectio n of the ri ghts of our fishermen. Me reaffirm our approval of the Monroe doc- trine and believe in the achievement of mani- fest destiny of tho republi c In its broadest sense. We favor the enactment of more stringe nt laws and regulation ol the restriction of crim: - nal , pauper and contract immigration. MI SCELLANE OUS Wo favor efficient legislatio n by Congress to protect the life and limbs of employees ot transp ortation compan ies engaged iu carrying on inters tate commerce , audr e c6miuond legis- l a tion by the r espect ive states that will pro- tect employees eu z ngiY T ih s ate commerce , In mining and manufacturing. The Republi can parly has always been the champion of tho oppressed , and rc-ognlzea the digniiy of manhood , irrespective of faith , color or nationali ty; it sympathizes with the cause of home rule in Ireland , an 1 prote c ts Against the persecution ol the Jews in Russia. fRKKDOM OF SI'KKCH AND HIES S . Th e ult mate reliance of f c ec popular Kov r rnment is the Intel.ig nee of th e p e ople , nnd the mainte nance of freedom among men. We , t herefore , declare anew our devotion to liberty of t br.n ght and co n sci nee , ol spe e ch «nd p r ess , and appro ve all agencies an i in- Uiumentnlities which contribute to the educ. v lion of the children of tho land; but while In-istlng upo.i the fullest measure of reli gious libert y , we ar c opposed to any union of church and state. Its workin g , men , demand \ fEat every dolla r \ paper or coin , issued by the gov.remen t shall be as good as any other. We command the wise nnd patriot.c t teps alr eady tak en b y our government to secure an inter national con- ference to adopt such measur es as will insure a parity ot value between gold and silver for use as money throughout the world , PURITY OF THE BALLOT. We dema nd that every citizen of the United Elates shall be allowed to cast one tree and unrestricted ballot in all public elections and that inch ballot shall be counted and ' re. t uriieu ns cast; mat sucn laws i ed and enforced ns will secure to every cili - e en , be ho rich or poor , native or forei gn born , white or black , this sovereign ri g ht guaran- teed b y the constitution. The free and honest popular ballot , the just and equal repr esentation of a 1 pe o p le , ns well asjust and equal prot ection under the laws , arc the foundation of our republican institu- tions , and the rarty will never relent its efforts until the integrity of the ballot and tho purity of eleet : ons shall be fully guaranteed and protected in every state. SOUTH BUM OUTRAGES. We denounc e the continued inhuman out- rages perp etrated upon America n citiz e ns tor political reasons in certain Southern states of the Union. l ' OREI Qj f RELATION 'S. \\ ¦ ' - Wc favor the extension of o o r forei g n com - me rce , the resto ration ol our mercantile mar ine by home-built ships and the creation of a navy for the prelecti on ol our national inter- ests and t he honor ol our fins; the moiutcn- ANTI - TRU ST. We reaffirm our opposition , declared in the Republican pl u tfnrm of 1SS8 , to all comb;- n n tions of capital organized in trusts or otherwise , to control arbitraril y the condition of trade among our citizens. We heartily endorse tho action already taken upon this subject and ask for such f urt her leg i- l ntfo i i ns may be required to remedy any defects in existing laws , and to render their enlorcement more comp lete end effective. FR EE DELIVERY. We approve the po ' .iey o! extending to towns , vil.nges and rural communities the adv a ntages of (ree-delivory service t t o«' en- joyed by the larger cities of the country, nni reaffirm the declaratio n contained in ttie Republican p int orm of 1SSS p led g ing the reduction o!' tette r postage to I cent at the earliest pos s ib c moment consistent with the maintenance of tho l ' ostofficc Department and the hig he s t class of t ostal service. CIVIL SERVICE. We commend the spirit and evidence of reform in the civil service , and the wise nnd consistent enlorcement by the R-publican party of the laws t cgu i ating tho same. KICA R AU GA CANAL. The construction of the Nicarau j n Canal is of the hi ghest importano j to thi Ameri ca n people as a measure of national defense and to ou Id up and miinta n American cm- merce , and it should be controlled by the United Stat s Government. TERRI TORIES. AVe f ivor the admi-sion ot tho remaining territories at the earliest practicable d te , having due regard to the interests of the people oi the territories nnd of the United State * . Alt the ic d erai officers appointed fur the territoriis should be select d from bona- fide rest .cuts thereof , i nd the right of self- government should bo accorded as fa as practicable.

When the State of Ohio was read ied oc- curred tho most dram atic incident ever wit- ncs<cd in a nati onal convention—that of a presidential candi date challeng ing the liber- ality of tho vote cast for him by his own Stale. \Ohio g ives two votes for Benjamin Har- rison and II votes for William McKinley, \ said ex-Governor Foraker , and the pan de- monium of enthusia sm that greeted the an- nouncement showed that Prtsideut l i arrito:i had lost 27 votes in the State ol Ohio .

A D ramntlc I nc ' u l eiit WORLD'S FAIR, Eight state buildin gs are now in progress f construction at the Kxpo s ition grounds. Althou gh it has been u year in service the Pennsylvania State Commission has expended but $23 , 000 of its $-3 0 , 000 appropriation. The building will cost about $80 , 000 , and the balance will be used ior collecting exhibits and administration. Arran gements have been completed the past week for a congress to be held in Chicago next summer on water ;commerce. Delegates are exp ected from all over the world , and the ra s t important subj ect' . for discussion i ex- pected to be a ship canal lo connect the Mis- sissippi river with the Atlantic Ocean. Plans for the $100 , 000 building for the leather manufacturers ' exhibit have been approved by the director ceneral and Ithe contract will soon be let. The building will be 025x170 feet , nnl will have two galleries. The ground iloor and first gallery will bo used for the ' sh oe and leather exhibit , and the second gallery lor a promena de , restaur- ant , &c. It is estimated that machinery to be nsed by the Exposition , but which will a ' s o be in competitive exhibits , will ngeregato in value $420 , 000. Tho cost lo the Fair for these arti- cl e s will be less than $100. Among the ex- hibi s used will be lawn mowers that would cost$10 ' , 000. Of course , the exhibitors expect their rewarJ in the advertise ment their wares will secure. A delegation fro m the National Associa- tion of Up holstery Manufacturers have ap- p lied for space lor n collective exhibit. Tho up holstery men claim that under Ihe benefi- cent influences of protection , their industry has developed so that domestic goods can now compete with J mporte I g i od s in every grade. They cited is proof of this that American go ds are now made to sell for $10 a yard , almost tho highest price for imp tried fa brics. TRAIN ROBBERS IN ARMOR.

Kickebs arc that Irritating class of people who succeed only In exciting the antipathy of all with whom th ey come in contact. Hut what would the world do without tho kicker? It is he who regulates by his snarls the inertia of those prone to idleness. It Is he who points abuses ofttlme s un- wittingly perpetrated by the over- zealous. The kicker is the balance wheel of society, almost of civiliza- tion. In legislative bodies the in- fluence of the kicker serves to lop off the objectionabl e features cf meas- ures otherwise good. His opposition leads to discussion and consideration. This serves its pu rpose by trimming to beneficent proportions meas u res which otherwise would fail of the good intended by overreaching or falling short. Ideas which may seem an insp iration to their authors are clipped and pruned until they either fall or , reduced to better proportions , soar gracefully and beneficently for the good of all. No one likes the kicker. He commands no respect , or love , or consideration , but after all he is the ereat conservator of eood.

The New York Editor and Ex- Minister to Franco Chosen for tfi ce-Pr a pidcnt by r ^ i' - i Acclamation. Harris on was won , and vrillh a ve Whitclaw Pci d , of New Yort , for a running mate. Tho nominations were ma ' e *ll<r a day ol brillia nt speeches , preat cntbu n in i- m , intense ex citement and , at t he l o «t , W armony. Ladies took the convenUon in hand as sonn as the nominatio n l.e i un— Mrs. Clarkson lor Blaine , and Mrs. New nnd Mis. HowcU for Harriso n, i'hey stood on chairs and fair l y howlcd ^ rtfr their favorit es. The scene wns nn imp pe t sive one , and the final result unex- p e cted rven b y the Harrison uisnacers. They Mpcctcd to nominate their candidate , but they hnd no idea that he wou 'd p ile np the mngnitic n it ma;s of ballots that were laid nt his feet. Tho vote stood , when nil the stat es were polled ; f,3. - . i for Harrison , IS i 1-G for Plaine , J i - for McKinley, 4 for Reed (Maine) and 1 for Lincoln , p iving Harrison a ui e jority of 1G4 o-t> over nil the other candidates , and a majority over I J lninc of 302 1-12. The fallin g oil of U a i nc ' s esti m a ted vote was a b t jr sur- prise , as was t l.e support g iven to McKinley. The evening session , at which Whitclaw Reid was nomiiiBtrd , was very short. Tom Reed , of Maine , was the only other candidate , and before the call of states Whitclaw Reid was nominated by acclamation. The convention then adjourned sine die. The comments of the leaders of the Blaine faction are laconic. When q uci - t ' oiied as to the result Chairman Clarksou taid: \ We were beaten , but I nra not ashamed of the fi g ht we made. We uill goin now and do our be-t. \ \Wh y did we rot will? We did not have vo ' cs enoug h , \ t oid AVo ' .cott of Colorado ta r tl y. \The other fellows bod the most votes , \ said J. Sloat Fassett. \Xo , no , \ said Governor McKinley fo n sug5estion of re t reat that he did not get the nomination. \It is better as it is. \ The general comment of prom ' nent Repub- licans is that Harrison and Reid is a ticket that will win , nnd of prominent Democrats that it is a ticket which n £Ood Democratic nomination can defeat.
