[ Special TelcRrnm to THE BK.S. ] The sun shone for an hour only on the opening day of the con vention anil infused temporary energy Into the brass bands , drum corps and visiting howlers. The tower of the great Exposition building across tbo swirling waters of St. Anthony's falls glistened In tbo tight and cast xhadows over tba great crowds pouring Into its Rally decorated structure. Byi o'clock the platform ; and matt of the scuts for visitors and guests within hearing of the stage- were occupied. The delegates were late in nriivinc and hundreds of chairs in tbo galleries wcro vacant. Ttio crowd was evidently unfamiliar with thn faces o ( the public men. The applause as distinguished statesman enured was light. Ingalls received the first great cheer. McKlnloy was also heartily recognized , but with nona was there the uproar usual in such cases , when convention balls ara packed with thousands of friends of local celebrities and spontaneous recognition causes immc- diato welcome. The first Impression of the mealing hall was Its great sizo. Tbo second was that for several thousand at each session tbo proceedings will bo inaudible. The third that the distribution ut great distances will prevent scones of turbulent uproars such ns v.-oro witnessed in Chicago m 18SO and 18S4 nod in St. Louis In 1SSS. Opening Scene * . At the opening the band from the gnllnry under the roof strikes up a raeJloy of patri otic airs. It continues until li:33. ! : Then Chairman Clarkson calls tha mooting to order and prayer Is offered. Most of the delegates remain standing during the exhor tation , which Is properly partisan and ropub- Scanty religious. Through a slight misun derstanding of the function , the clergyman's opening sentences are received with ap plause. Tbo applauders happened to bo out of earshot. After the reading of the call by Editor Do Young and the formal ratification of J , Sloat Fnssctt's nomination as temporary chairman , the oponlug speech of tbo convention was made. Although the speaker had a good volco half of the 10.000 people present catch bis words with dlfllculty. Ills remarks are not carefully committed and ho often has to consult his manuscript. Thcro are frequent references to reciprocity , which evoke faint cheering. Allusions to republican loaders call out inoro. A skillful coupling of tlio names of Hurrlson nnd Ulaino brings down the house. Tom lined , sitting behind the platform , looks as stolid as a Chinese idol , whllo long protracted rails for a spuoch from Hoed interrupted tbo organiza tion of the convention. Ho finally mnucs It It is short , pithy and fervent , and Is ro- colvod with loud cheering , MoKlnloy de clines to do anything moro than rlso and Ehow himself. Tlia crowd , some of whom paid (3 for a icnt , bound to have their moooy's worth , call for Ingalls. but are choked off by Chair man Fasiott , who announces that business must go on. During the call of states for nominations for various committees tboro were spasmodic attempts at demonstrations , which the local papers denominate as "loud cheering. " It was moro cricket chirping when compared with the root racking yells of former conventions. Immediately after the completion of tbo roll call the convention idjournod until 11 o'clock tomorrow. Nut Materially Chanced , ilon , K. Uojowator ut a late hour tonight dictated the following ! "Tho situation Is not materially changed. If a ballot had been taken , Harrison would have carried the con. voatlon by from thirty to fifty majority , notwithstanding - withstanding the adverse decision of the commlltoo in the contested cases. Tueio coutoits do not Involve tUo straight Uaue as between Harrison and aull-Uarrlson.

TbU U the casa in Louisiana between KoHogc and Warmouth , ftnd nUo In Mississippi between tbo Ljuch and etui-Lynch delegations. "My Impression is that tbo Dlalna leaders have no expectation of running Blixlno , but ro ikllfully uslog his nuine to bold ttoir force * together. Their tactics will bo to itayo off the veto to Friday or oven later , with the hope that tboy will nucccod In i ; the Harruoa photon * uud uftcrout or two ballots and arondjournmont , bringing out n now combination.

TbU in moro than offsnt In Oregon , Florida and Ohio. Tbo outcotro of tbo battle - tlo will largely depend upon tno tactics upon the floor of tbo convention tomorrow. " Sure to Votn for llnrrlnon. The Nebraska delegation hold no mooting today and occupied the out-of-convontion haul's In n general canvassing of the situa tion. There are rumors afloat that two of tbo delegation may vote for Blaine on the first ballot. J. L. Webster and C. H. Uoro both express ihoir belief thnt tbo delegation will bo unanimous at the outset for President Harrison. There is much quiet canvassing of the question of the cholco ot tbo delegation for national commltteamau wltb n general ex pression of opinion that the delegation will regard the instruction * of the state conven tion'in making Its choice , regardless of per sonal preferences. \V.

A douolo playnever surpassed for dexterity In any national game , base ball or politics , was wit nessed by 112,003 pcoploin Minneapolis today. J , Sloat Fussutt was ut the bat , and it was tally ono for Mr. Blaino. It the very spirit of the man from Maine bad suddenly seized tbo presiding onlcor'a gavel in the opanlng session of thn republican convention this af ternoon and oy some occult force cnuscd the bewildered thousands , friends and foes nhko , to break out in & humcano ot hurrahs at his name tbo effect could hardly have been so startling. Indeed , it was almost lit erally Just such n climax that actually took place. Tbo frenzies of the choorlng was something Immense , and the strangeness of the situation was the fact that every Harri son man in tbo assemblage was wildly ap plauding , moro frantically , if If were possl- bio , than even the supporters of Blaino. lllulno'g Handiwork. For the extraordinary daftness and celer ity with which the audacious move was cur ried to success great credit Is given to young Mr. Fassott , the temporary chairman. Thcro was an Instant general feeling , however , that clover as Fassott proved himself , the strategy that won originated in the craftful brain of n man greater than ho , possibly a great master , moro adept than Clarkson or Platter or Quay ' 'Blntno's own handiwork , " was the verdict most of ton heard as the crowds eagerly discussed tbo brilliant ruse. Fas- sett , an avowed protcgo ot the ox-secretary of stale , had been decided upon by the pha- lunx of Blaine lieutenants lu control of the national comrat'.teo as exactly the man for the emergency In view , and they had at tempted to force upon the convention , if such a thine were witbin the bounds of possibil ity , tbo prostlco of Fassott winning the light in the national committee ngnlnM ono ot tbo strongest of the Harrison commanders. Sen ator Cullora , and the dread of the president's frlonds of committing a fatal mistake by ap pearing in the role of a disgruntled minority ut the beginning ot the proceedings aided the Blaine schemers to put Fassett into the chair us tbo temporary chairman ot tha con vention. Had no Opposition. No Harrison candidate was put up for the placerand the extraordinary deepness ot the silence when.tho "nays" were called on his election was the only sign that nearly , or over half the delegates und spectators wished thai anybody rather than the Now York man had boon choson. Now caino Fassott's speech , opening the deliberations of the convention , and right here was whcro tbo wizard influence broke loose that upset all the antl-Blalno calcula tions. Young Mr. Fassett is not a great orator tor , but tbo decided majority of delegates these who had elected htm nnd these wh ( concluded not to veto against him , listened with apparent , patience and a disposl tion to encourage his slightly amateurish references to "protection" and other stock checr-ovoklnir topics for a republican gather Inc. No antagonism was seemingly arouset either when ho loaned heavily to tbo Blulno side ana. significantly emphasized "reel proclty" in the middle of another wise am blguous sentence. It was only when Fassott began to show such symtoms of a disposition to refer directly by name to tbo presidoutla candidates that the nomlnoc-mahcrs in thn hundreds of chairs in front of him und the thousands In the galleries ubovo began to grow restive , whllo not a few looked daggers nt the rash young man. I'rruurlng to Spring Ills Scheme. "All of our leaders are ntron ? men , " pro claimed Fassott , glibly , while the Harrison men grinned. "Some may bo alrongcr than others , " ho went rapidly on , with suDllmo indifference to the ncrvousuoas ot everybody except possibly the taw In tlio secret. The convention was wrought up to an Intense strain by the consciousness that a compara lively InoxporitiUROd man was before them practically Juggling with dynamite , ana , to all appearancesutterly uuawnro of the probable - able dangerous results should ho inadvertl- ncntly mention Blalno's name first. Tbo bal seemingly woum have boon blown to atoms with all tbo people in it , so surcharged to tbo point of expectation woru the Harrison men with their pent up feelings Were ho to awkwardly give Harrison tbo preference the Blaiuo causa would have been well nigh ruined , and in tbo resulting discus sion uud nosslblo physical encounters on tbo Hoar the beginning could bo made of n feud that would disrupt tbo party. "Count ma over your chosen herojs , " went on Fassott , while tbo convention scomoi to shrivel up Into ono glgantlo black frown "count me over our chosen heroes , " no ro pouted half mechanically Cassablunca on tbo burning dock was seemingly the only parallel on record for the possibly mistaken HOUSO of duty for thnt young , foollsbjchnlr nmn ut this moment as he stood on tha brlnlc of disaster , and raising nloft with bis arms shouted wltb genuinely thrilling tones , "Lin coln , " then "Seward , " then "Graat , " and paused. Frnntlc la Their Applause. Tbo convention rose in applause , hoping against liopo chut Fasset would got his wits in tbo interval afforded and stop short. Out no , down I ho roll of honor bo came , undis mayed and blithe ns over. "Sherman , " ho shouted , nnd the Ohio delegates led the con vention lu a mairnltlcoiit cheer that rousea the echoes but did not stop Fassott. " ( Jar Held , Logan , " ho wont on. while bU linger pointed aloft , ho seemed tno personification of the Longfellow Ideal , "Exuelslor. " The cheering slackened tor ono brief Instant. Down oame the upllftod arm Ilka u Hash of lightning , nnd , couplm together like twin comets , tboro shot across tbo hail the words , "Blaino and Harrison. " The uproars uni manifestations of delight from enemies and friends was tremendous , impartial and 1m mediate. Fassett could at tbo moment bavo added bit own name to the list of tbo party's names bo bad Just pronounced. For ncnrly tivo minutes at Intervals did the applause rlso acaln and again ustuonudlcnco was reminded of bis superb skllfulncss and the happy outcome. Tbo other features of the day In the con vention were popular ovations to McKlnloy and Hoed in lurp MuKinlay modestly de clined to take opportunity for a self- boom given by the prolonged efforts to Induct ) blui to make a speech. Heed , though reluctant too , lluallv yielded to tUo alluring temptation. Ho tnado a capital eiTort for an oxtompuraiioau * ono.

Chairman Clarkson then announced thoso- lectlon of Hon. J. Sloat Fassott of Now York for tompornry chairman. There was a mo ment's hush , everybody awaiting possible action by the Harrison olerreut In opposition to Fassett's selection , but the anticipated contest did not take placo. No ono was placed in nomination in opposition to him. ana he was declared unanimously elected. * When Clnrlton presented him the fol lowers of Blaine broke forth in prolonged , routing cheers. Fassott , In hli speech accepting the posi tion , thanked the convention for the honor conferred , and asked the generous forbear ance and co-operation of the convention. He said It was eminently fitting that the rcoub- licaii convention should bo bold in a temple erected for tbo display of tbo products of protoctlgn to American industries.

At the capital today there was little ox- cllomcnt even nftbr the messages had begun to como In from Minneapolis. It had been clvcn out in the morning that the president would iicht the nomination of Fassott for temporary chairman wltb Senator Cullom ns his own candldata for that office and when thn news came that Fassott had been chosen tompornry chairman by acclamation nnd without opposition , It created considerable surprise. Claim * oT Itlalno Men. The Blnlno mon regarded this as the first victory for their candidate nnd were well pleased accordingly , but they would have liked it still bettor if Fassott had boon chosen nftor n fight. Tbo fact that there was no opposition to Fassott was claimed by Blnlno men as an ovldonco of weakness on tbo part of the president , but tbo Harrison mon said on the contrary that It had possibly been agreed on all sldas at Minneapolis tba't tbcro had batter bo no coitost ever the tem porary chairmanship. When It was learned nt the telegraph ofllcas and elsewhere up town tbo news attracted fair sized crowds of roadors. Tba sonata had adjourned and dispersed before the election of Fnssett was an nounced ut tbo capltol. At the house end the news circulated among tbo motnbors who were evidently much interested in it and the Blaine mon showed many signs ot satisfac tion , many of them saying thnt they re garded it ns simply tha 'forerunner of final success for their sido. Bulletins were displayed in the various lobbiot and press rooms of thocapitol as well us in the bolbls. At the white house there nro no now de velopments to bo noticed. A large number of dispatches have been received from Min neapolis , but they contain merely the esti mates of friends on the strength of Mr. Harrison risen , and do not materially differ from these which bavo been published In the newspapers.

Itovlou- the Situation I'onslbio Contin gencies That May Arlne. MiN.VEAi'ous , Minn. , Juno 7. The first day of the republican national convention ends with the republican nomination' a bidden secret , to bo disclosed only when tbo decisive ballot reveals the unfathomable in tentions of the scores of unpledged and un committed dclogatos. It is thoroughly real ized by the friend * ot both tbo chief candi dates tonight that the result of the conven tion is to depend upon those uncommitted , vacillating delegates , who ara pledged to neither candidate and who are claimed for both. Tbo day closes without any perceptible significant advantage for either sido. Tbo Blaine clement organized the convention bv the election of J. bloat Fussett of Now YorK as temporary chairman , but us Mr. FnasettM selection was not contested by the Harrison clement and at bis election was unanimous , tbo victory was won by default and no ono can say what would bavo boon the result had tha Harrison managers decided to force a test of strength by presenting an opposition candidate for tompornry chairmanship. Cheered Their I'uvorllen. No occasion occurred during the very brief session today to call out any decided mani festations from tbo delegate : of the conven tion. The name of Ulaino was wildly cheered , of course , nnd so. indeed , wcro the names of Ingnlla and of Kaod , neither of whom is oven suggested n a possible candidate for ( residential honors. As a matter of fact the ovation which greeted Thomas B. Hued wus even moro oiithuslastlo and moro prolonged than that inspired by the nnmo of Blaino. but than the ex-speaker was present and vis ible , whllo tbo ox-secretary of state was ab sent uud invisible. The Harrison people had no opportunity to call out one of these enthusiastic scenes that are considered RO potent in national convon- tloni , bccausotbo name of their candidate wu mentioned but once , and that time by an opponent ot Mr. Harrison , who passed from tbo nnmo ol Harrison to Blaine go quickly that friends of tbo president baa no opportu nity for any manifestation ot tbolr devotion. The managers of both Blalnu and Herri- sou maintain toultfht tbo amo pcr utont ut- tltudo ot cUlmlng everything In general , hut giving no figures in itotall. With every delegate to the national convention here anil in bis sent it will requlra 453 votes to mixko n nomination. Throe days ago both of tbo rival factions were claiming the nomination of their candidates by n vote of 000 or moro , but ns delegations arrived ono by ono , nnd u became manifest to tbo puolio bow they would stand , thee clsitus have boon modlUod nnd reduced , nnd tonight neither Is claiming tlu nomination of its candidate by ever 500 votes. Algcr Strength In the Convention. Algcr will nlmost certainly remain In tbo fight to the cud nnd ho will probably de velop no loss than sixty votoa on the first ballot. His candidacy , It is believed , will nmko nbotlt equul Inroads on the strength of both the lending contestants , although the Blnlno people maintain that his withdrawal nt nny tlmo will certainly mean the nomin ation of their candidate. The avonts of the day have differed from the fierce rivalry of yesterday In ono very gratifying particular. Thoro'has been loss recrimination , fewer quarrels anil there ap pears to bu n general Inclination on nil sides to uurstio the contest good- naturedly in order to avert lasting hcsullly , which might Imperil tbo success of the ticket. It Is qulto probable the most In- lluenco nITciilIng this has been the promi nence glvon on all slues to the suggestion ot a compromise candidate. Yesterday and tha day before the belief that some bad fceltuce was being engendered and Hint it would bn necessary to soelc n compromise can * dldato was very general nnd unquos. tlonably oxcltcd the anxiety ot tha managers of both Harrison nnd Blalne. They probably concluded that tha only way to allay this movement , which threatened to become n populnr ono , was to counsel moder ation und nnrmony nnd prevent any prelimi nary contests or disputes which mleht ndd to the logic of the arguments for n compro mise candidate. And so It has been that tha martial scones ot yesterday have been few nnd uneventful today. Tonight the Blaine nnd Harrison forcoi are making the utual COUP tor demons t rat loin In tbo lobbies ot the loading hotels , but they lack that intense rivalry which msrkotithesa ; occasions during the past seventy-two hours. Their 1'onltlon Doubtful. The southerners sUll stand out foremost nnd prominent , a great Interrogation point on every page of estimates. No ono knows to a certainty bow the colored delegates of tno south , will vUte , and no ono is nltocothcr sure lo whom carlaln of the whlto delegates of the south will give their voto. Both sides tire employing every argument and exerting every effort to win thosupportof all the scat tering nnd uncertain delegates , but the latter scorn to fully realize the Importance of their position , and ara rather disposed to make tbo most of it by stnndlnc out and asserting their independence until the tlmo of tha opening ballot arrives. There Is no longer any doubt thai a con siderable number of delegates In the western , ana southern states , who were instructed , for Hnrrison. hnvo mndo up their minds to Ignore these Instructions nnd support Blulno. It is probable that tbo present situation as to candidates will remain with but Ilttla change until the tlmo arrives for balloting. There will bo tbroo candidates formally In nomination biforo the convention flucnd , Blalnu and Algor nnd it is possible that some other man will rccclvo scattering votes. Several delegates buvo already avowed their Intention to support McKlnloy , ono or two will probably vote for Sherman , nnd Kuslc , Allison , Hnwloy nnct Rood may possibly have n few votes each. If this should bo tbo case the Arftor follow ing end the scattering votes will bo suftlclont " to bold tha balnuca of pjwor nnd provunt n. nomination on tha first ballot. This is pro. cisoly what these who are looking for n now candidate hope to bring about. T.uou thu dark horse may bo found. Holding Them to .Instructions. Ah' unusually strong attempt has been made today to reclaim t Unvotes-of thoio In structed dolocutes who hnvo shown Indica tions of their intention to desert Harrison. Attention is particularly culled to Dopiw nnd Hlacocl ; nnd Cullom , nil of whom were Blaine men In years gene by , but nro now Bupportlng Harrison nnd following instruc tions. The southern delegates nro naked to observe - serve tbo Ideas of lofty honor dUlayod oy ihoso eminent lenders of uallotml reputation , and there is no doubt that the example of some ot these leading republicans is having con siderable affect In restraining certain dele gates who are disno od to leave Harrison and go to the Blaine following. Upon the power of this restraining influence to withstand tlio unthusinstlo scenes that the Blaine demon * strations will certainly call forth within the next forty-eight hours , depend * , in u Croat measure , the result of Una presidential cou- tcst. Gi > utetln Delegations. There are many pcoplu who bellovo to night that the committee on credentials will bo tbo controlling factor in determining tha nominee , and the proceedings of that com- mlttco nro being watched with absorbing in terest. In this convention there nro somo- whnt moro thiiti tbo usual number of con tested delegations , nnd nil of tbeso contests - * tests have ' been referred to thu com mittee ou credentials. It Is slated that tbo anil-Harmon element pre dominates in this committee and it Is u current rumor late tonight that it may bo acomcd advisable by the controlling fnutlou to postpone any report ou the numerous contests - tests until U Is ascertained ] ust bow promi nent u part the favored delegates may bo nblo to play in the convention. In the Louis iana delegation the contest involves twclvo out of sixteen delegates. In Alabama fourteen delegates nro involved out of n total of twenty-two. In the states of Mississippi and Texas thcro are also con tests , In the former six dele gates and in tbo lattr ncarlv tha entire delegation. The political slgnlllcntica of t no Texas contest will hardly hnvo any bpcclnl bearing on tbo result , as to the do- clsion not to rocoenlzo the wbito man's ro publlran party olimlnntos them from consid eration in this convention. In Maryland , there nro two delegates Involved , In Ken tucky two and in South Carolina the whola state delegation of eighteen , In Georgia two delegates uro at Iwuo nnd In Utah tbo two Blaine delegates will bu seated , I'owur of the Committee , In the grand total , therefore , the contest ! Involve sixty delegates nnd It will bo seen that In H close contest between two candi dates it would be entirely In the power ot this committee , if its report wcro adopted , to exert n controlling influence In the contest. Both sides nro watching the committee very closely nnd it Is likely to coiiHuma consider able tlmo In Its deliberations , The Michigan delegation have again had a long session over the prospects of Algor. The chairman of the delegation ostimuica thnt Algor will bnvo fifty-seven votes anil there Is prospects of advancing his candi dacy.
