Jones, chalrman of the National Commlttce. Ncarly 0,000 persons ware present, l'rayer was olïered by ltev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, of the Chicago l'lymouth Congregational Church, afier which Secretary Fessenden, of the National Comm'ttee, read the cali. Ati:s conclusión Chairman Joños aildrrased tho audience, conjralu!allng the Kopublican party through It representativos here assembled upon tho uuspiclous prospect that lies before it. Wise and couragcous actlon by thls convontion, he said, would surely lead to vlctory. "Thanks to Mr. Cloveiand and hls Southern ttllkï," said the speaker, "the Democratio party has thrown off tho dlsjfulse In whlch It has heretofore fought lts battles In tha Northern States, and has boldly de-j clarcd for lïr.tish irct; trado and agalnstl American protcotion." Upon tho conclusión] of hls remarks Mr. Jones aunounced that Judgef John Thurston, of Lincoln, Neb., had been selected by the National Committee as temporary chalrman of tho convenlion, and lntroduced that gentleman to the dclegates. Judgo Thurston, upon assuming the chair, addresscd tho convuntion at length. He sald that the Hepublican party' of the United States relies upon the wisdom of lts assembled dclegates for such. action as will insure success. If we aro prepared to honesty and faniy nset tho supremo' luueiof tlic boui wlth a clcar, fearlcss and ruiling declaration of principies, and to nomlDate ¦ ticket wbton w.ll commend itself to thai loyalty and Intelligentie of the oountry, we can' grandiy win. Wh.n tiic Democratie party, ai the elose of tho last l'rcsidentlal election, robbed us of a vlc-1 tory homstly and fairly won, we patlentlyi waited for the certain coming of the justice of the years." He tben pald a glowlng tribute to the memory of John A. Logan, who, he baúl, "llvei in tho grateful love of a free people, whoso unión ho so callantry fought to preserve; lives In tho blessings of a down-trodden race, whose freedom he so manfully struggled to achleve; lives in the future song and story of a hero-worshiping world; and along the lnghway of the Nation's glory, side by s;de wlth old John Brown, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, his soul goei marohlog on. ' The other, the gallaut leader, tho chevallor of American politics, the glory of Kepubhcanism and the nlghtmare of Democracy; our Ileury of Navarre, Is seeklng In forcign travel the long-needed relaxation and rest from the weurisume burdens of public llfc and service. With the sublime magnanitnlty of his incomponible greatness he has dented us the intinite pleasure of supporting hini in this convcntlon. Disiring above all thlngs party harmony and succes, he has steppcd from the certain ladder of his own laudable ambitiou Vvr'i-aii' n'ot pYaëb"htm' át tho hea'il of the ticket, but we will malee him commander-in-chlef at the head of the furces in the ñcld, where ho will bu imincible. And, though James G. Illaino may not be our President, yet he remains our uncrownod king, wielding the baton of acknowledged leadership, supremo in the al legiaoce of his devotcd followers, honored and respected by all honest and loyal men, the greatcst living American, and tnu worthy object of our undyinK love." After reference to the achievoments of the Kepubllcan party in the past, and denunciatlun of the Uemocratic adminlstration of the past four years, Mr Thurston contlnued: "There are tuose in this land who seem to belleve that the mlssion of the Republican party is at an end. That tho emanclpatlon proclamatfon, Appomattox, the constltutional amendments are at once the monuments of It glory and the gravestones of lts demise. Uut the work of the Republican party will nevor be done until every American c tizo entera inío hís unquestioned lnherítunce of llbTly, equal rights and justice; untll representation Ín Congress is based upon votes freely cast añil fuirly eounted; until adequate provisión tas been niadi; for tbe helplessnss and oíd ugo of the disabled veterans and the widows and orpbatis of the r dead comradcs; until tbose ¦olicies of government which insuru National und ii.rt vidual prosporl-y are lirmly estabïshcd, and until patriotisti and loyalty are the only qualillcations, extept ütness, for oiilcial politlón In the service of the Republ.c." In conclusión the spealier said: "The great d stinctive issue of the present campatgn is the Issue of the tanff. To the support of a proiective tarift there will rise up an overwhelnilng arroy of intelligent, thoughtful and practical men, and the East and the West and the North and the South wlll join hands together to forever extermínate in tlus Kepublic the pernlcious doctrine of free trade.'' The stand was then taken by Fred Douglass, who 9poke brieöy. Mr. Horr. of Michigan, presented Chalrman Thurston wlth a handsome gavel, saylng that the Instrument was manufactured out of the wood taken from tho tree under whleb the Röpubllcan party was boru, at Jackson, Mich., July (i, 1KVI. A resolution was adopted by a rlslng voto sendlng to General Sheridr.n sincere congratulatJons on the prospect of nis recovery, and hope that hls Ufo may be preservod for many y General Fremont, who was present as the guest of the Nebraska delegatlon, was then lntroduccd, and in brief rcrnarks ho predlcted a vlctory under tho banner of protectlon to American industries. Fremont sald he could not fall to respond to tho splondld grcetlng, and was pleasod to (reet the men and sons of men wlth whom he was assoclated in the party's opening campalgn In l&0. He interested the convention with remtntscences. A discusston then followed over contesting dclegatlons from Virginia. The matter was referred to the Credentials Committee.

Thu material dug from thc bowel of theearth and studded wlth preclous stones, wrought wlth labor, teach a lesson whlch the Republlcan party has by its legislatlon taught- free homes, frce sobools, and a frce ballot- and not only thls, but that freo labor símil have its Just reward, as lt Is tho foundation of all wcalth and National prosperity." Delegato Wirtz, of Illinois, then handed anothcr gavcl to the chulrman, and sa'.d: "It Is ueither sílver nor gold, but it Ís mado of wood from a plece of a desk Irom a tannery in Galena, which dosk was left by that superbly magnlflcent sllent soldier of America, Ulysses S. Grant." Chairman Bayne, of Pennsylvanla, of the Committeo onKules, was next recognlzod.

" Wc want," said Mr. Bradlcy, " to put this Democratie party out of power. It is a fraud and a sharn. a deluslon and a snare. It has never redeemed a promso that it made. They promised togiveus an economicul government, but they have increased the surplus, and have not the ' manship to curtan It. They profess CivilServlce seform, and proceed to turn i soarred veterans out of ortlee and replaco them wtth ex-Confederates. We are here forvlctory, and victory is in the air. The clans are gathuring, and It was for the convention to say who shall lead them. It muiters not wliether it be the pi urne d knlght from Maine- [cheers]- or auy of these olher ilistinijuishiHl nilfiiitïn, tho Rcpublicau party wlll win thia year." Governor Foraker, of Ohio, then addroKsnl the assemblage.

We bclieve in a free ballot and a fair count. Wfl shall not hesitate to say so ' with all the smphMtl that we can thunder into the declaratlon. We believe in a protective tar.ff. We bel.eve, too, that the i present Democratie Adminlstrutlon is but a sham and of false pretenses, the result of fraud, and alroady tt has outllved its usefulness. And wo want a chango and are delcrrn ned to havo one. We bel eve the free trude Bi6Mag6 and tendencies of Grover Cleveland are fraught wlth harm to the hlghesl and best interests of our country, and we shall protest untas! them accordlngly. We believe In taking care of America. We beLleve In taking care of American homes, American markets and American industries of every description, from the flsheries on the Eastern coast to the Chinese questlon on the West, and we are golng to say so In our platform. When we do that we are golng to do soms thlng else. I do not know who is going to be nominated. I can not glve you hls name. but I can teil you his qualities. In the Hrst place he will be a gentleman. He will be a man of good moral character, and he wlll have some social standing in the communlty, and, as some gentleman has indicated, he will bc a loyal son of the Republlc. He will be a man who will reveré the patnotio memories of the past. The names of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan will be dear names to hlm. I mijiht go on and indleate to you many other qualities that he will postess. I mlght further poiut out the character of man he will be, but let me simply say that he wlll not only be a man who will treasure patrlotio recollectlons, but will have a record as a Republican without stam or blemlsh. He will tako our standard in hls hand and take ltt) victory. And when he Is elocted lt w.ll be his tlrst and Qighest business to give us a Ropublican adminlstratlon. He will not do it by false pretenses or Indirection." Colonel Hepburn, chairman of the Committee on Credentials, then procaeded to read the report.

Mr. McKInley, of ühlo, chairman of the Commitlee on Resolutlons, then stepped upon the platform and read the report of the committec's action. Thc f uil text of the platform is as follows: Paylng ík tribute to Lincoln, tbe llrst great leader ol the Republican party, drplonng the reeent loses of Grant, Gurtlcld, Arthur, Logan and Conklmg, and expressing symputhy with Generut Sheridan. the Itepubücan platform opens with a fraternal greeting to the people of Hra.il on thelr greal act of emancipatioD, whlch has "completed the abolltlon of slavery throughout the the two American contlnents. The platform thea añirmg unswerving devotion to the National constltution, wlth due regard to the right reserved to the States. The rlght of every lawful Citizen to cust one free ballot in public elections and to have that ballot duly couated is presented as a prime Republlcun doctrine aml tho foundation of Uepuolican Government. Addtlonal leglslation to punish wrongs against the ballot Is demanded. It i boldiy charged that the Democratie Adminlstratlon and the present PemocratlO majorlty in Congress owo their existenco to Uc suppression of fair ballot and to a er mlnat nullilicatlon of the constitutlon and laws of the United States. The larifl plank tukoH ilm'it i,-ue with the platform adoptad by the St. Louis convention. It declaro fur thc preservation of the American systcm of protcctlon, condemns the pollcy of Cleveland, denounces the Mills bill, and applauds the course of the Republlcan mlnority in Congress in opposlng that measurc. The platform aftlrms thut 11 needed rcductlon of the surplus in the Trojisury can be made by repealiiiK internat revenue- whisky- taxes. While the Democratie polky is to take the tax off the cheaper kind-, of tobáceo and retain lt on eigars, the Republlcan platform dorlurcs for sntira repdft] of the tax on tobáceo and uu spirits used in the arts and for mechanlcal purposes, lf sucha pollcy will not sumclontly reduce the surplus the repeal of all ititernal revenuo taxes- that Is, the repeal of all liquor taxi's is demanded. The Democratie prupositlon to plaie wool on the free Hst is condeuined and antagonlzed, and a pledge Is made to adjust und nuilntain tarift dutles so as to glve full and iulnuiate protection to wool growuiir. A reduction of duties is favored only on artlcles of foreign production (luxurles exoepted) whloh do not compete with any home inuustry. A demand is made that such uiliclcs be placed on thr free list. All such, with few exceptions are now on the free list. The dedaratlon against Chinese Immigratlon Is emphatíc, und a demand is made for laws that wlll exeludo cftectually Chínese labor from thts country.

The Admlmstratlon Is charpcd with Inefflciency and cowurdico in lts foreijtn policy und with a virtual abaudonment of the Mon- roe doctrine while passlvely vermittlng the extensión of foreign influence and trade In Central and South América.

At the conclusión of Mr. Dcpew's remarks the convention was in a squirm of excite ment. It had been whispered around tha New York had decided to give the greate part of its vote. 58 delegates, to Har rison, and that Wisconsin was about to do the same. Of course if thls was done thcre would be a Ilarpison stampede whlch mlght possibly nomínate the Indianiau and spoil all the plans of the Hlaine men Henee it was manifestly the Blaine prograznmo to adjourn the convention before a vote could be taken, and this was accordingly done. Mr HubUngs, of Pennsylvanla, moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock this mornins, and the motloi was carried by a vote of .Vi5 to 2SZ.

As soon as his announcement was made Mr. McKinley wasseen to rise in bis seat, and amld the most mpressive sllence proceeded to make a statement. He was grueted with a storm of apilause. Hesaid: " I am here as one of the chospn representaivcs or nu Snuc. I am here by a resolutlon of the Republican convention, passed without one lssenting volee, commanding me to cast my vote for John Shcrman, and usó every worthy endeavor for his nomlnatlon. I accopted he trust tecause my hearl and judgment were n accord wi h the letter and spirit and urposo of that resolutlon. It has pleasod ceraln delegatcs to cast thclr vote for me. I am not insensible to the honor thfty would do me, ut in tho presence of the duty resting upon me can not remaln sllent with honor. I can not, conslstently with the State whose credentlals I bear and which has trusted me, I can not, wtth ïonorable fldelity to John Sherman, who has trusted me in hls cause and w.th his conndence; ' can not. consistent with my own views of my icrsonal Integrlty, consent or seem to consent o permit my name to be used as a candldate eforo thls convent on. I would not respect myself If I could ftnd It In my heart to do, to say or permit to bo done that whlch could evon be ground for any one to suspect that I wavered In my loyalty to Ohlo or my devotlon to the chlef of her cholee and the chlet of mine. I don't request- I demand- ;hat no delégate who would not cast reflection upon me shall cast a ballot for me." Mr. McKinley spoke earnestly and with emphasis. He was evidently sincere and the convention, ut the conclusión of his little speech, generously applauded hlm. The ballot wus then proeeeded with without further incident unul Illinois was reached, when a break of three votes from Gresham to Harrison created a sensation. and was reccived with a mingled demonstratton of ntsses and applause. When New York was reached, the galleries hissed. After the vote of the State, g ving Harrison 59 votes, one of the delegates deinanded a póll of the delegation. The polls showed no change In tne vote. THE FOUHTIl BALLOT.
