It wm fitting, perhaps, that tho patrl

"Gentlemen of tho convention," then
Bald Mr. Clarkson, "I nm Instructed by
tho national committee to nominato for
.your temporary chairman Hon. J. Bloat

Thero was a momentous pause whllo
'tho body awaited tho notion that might
bo taken by tho Harrison wing in oppo
sition to Mr. Fassott's selection. Hut
the anticipated contest did not take
'place. No ono was placed in nom

demonstration was forthcoming when
'Mr. Fassett attempted to speak. One
prolonged cheer resounded through the
' hall and galleries, and lllalne delegates
uaroso as a man to salute their chairman.
Mr. Fassett said, as soon as ho could
"be heard:

Tho words "Harrison and lllnlno"
were mentioned so rapidly that tho
friends of the formor candidate wcro
taken by surprise- and had no opportu

tho Hlalnu men mado tho most of tho
occasion, and for three minutes dele
gates waved their hats and handker
chiefs wildly In tho air and cheered tho

Another sccno came when Chairman
Fassett praised tho work of the Fifty

strong arm of Thomas 11. Need." Almost
equal to tho ovation to lllaino was tho
enthusiasm inspired by this reforenco

was seated far in the rear of tho speak

tho audience. Some ono atnt ted the cry
of "Heed, Heed," and it was instantly

was not rcnlly opened until ll:4.'
o'clock, so slow wcro tho delegates In
gathering.
The hall wns crowded almost to Its
utmost capacity when Chairman Fas
sett pounded for order.
Tito proceedings wcro opened by lllsh
op H. II. Whipple, of Minneapolis with
prayer.
L. 12. Valkor, of llcatrlco, Neb., on
behalf of tho Nebraska delegation pre
sented Temporary Chairman Fassett
with a gavel mado from trees grown on
tho first homestead lu Nobraska. Tho
gavel, he said, was of wood of hard In
growth nnd was Inlaid with silver.
S. C. Lock wood, of Idaho, presented
tho report of tho committeo on organ
ization. A wild hceno took plnce when
tho committeo reported tlov. William
McKlnloy, of Ohio, for permanent chair
man. A magnificent ovation greeted tho
governor when ho stepped to tho chair
on tho platform. Temporary Chairman
Fussett Introduced his successor, say
ing: "Tho chairman, gentlemen of tho

your permanent chairman, tho chair
desires to thank you most heartily for
tho kind forbearance which you havo
extended to him. I now havo tho honor
nnd tho distinguished pleasure to intro
duce Hon. Willlnm McKlnloy, of Ohio."
Tomporary Chairman FossoU retired
nmld great applause and thero was pro
longed and ronowed cheers and waving
of banners, after which Gov. McKiuloy
npoko as follows:
I thank you for tho honor of presiding over
tho ninth quadrennial convention of tho repub
lican party. (Applause. Kcpubllcan vent ca

party was thirty-six years ago in
tho city of Philadelphia. Tho platform of tho

Wc are lor a protective tariff and for reci

take o backward step upon either ono of thcso
great republican principles Applause. Wo
stand for n protective tariff because It repre
sents tho American homo, tho American lire
sldo, tho American famlU, tho American girl
nnd tho American boy and tho highest possi

Wo propose to rulso our money to pay publlo
expenses by taxing tho products of othnr na

own Applause. Tho democratic party be
lieves In direct taxation, that Is In tuxlng our-selvt-H.
but wo don't bollovu In that prin
ciple, so long as wo can find anybody else to tax.
Our protective tariff not only does everything
which a revenuo tax Is doing, raising nil nro led
revenues, but a protective tariff docs ranro. A
prntectlvo tariff encourages and stimulates
American Industries und gives tho widest
possibilities to American genius nnd Amer
ican effort Docs nny bod know what

nnd that Is to bo tho platform of our
political opponents this year. What docs it
mcaiiJ You say Q rover Cleveland's utterances.
From thn llrst ono ho mado In Now York when
ho inld ho did not know anything about
the tariff until his last ono In Ithodu Island,
you come away ignorant and uninformed
ns to whnt tariff reform means. Hlnco
tho war thero havo beon threo great
tariff reform bills proposod by dcmocratlo
leaders, nono of them ullke, nolther of them
with tho sumo free list, neither of them with
the snmo tariff list, neither of them with tho
samti rates of duty, but all mado by tho demo
cratic party upon tho nnmo prlnclplo to sym
bolize and prcsont tariff reform. You may go
to Mills, you may go to Springer, and you will
find they differ total)"; but you mty po to
tho house of r.vriheutatlvea at Washing
ton which was elected distinctively upon
what thoy call n tariff reform Issue, with
the two-thirds majority lu tho house und
what do you Und? They pass throe bills. Let
mo name thim: First, frco tin plate, leaving
sheet steel from which It Is made, tariffed: that
N, tho finished product frco and the raw mate,
rial bosrlng a duty. Second, free wool to tho
manufacturer and tariffed cloth to the con
sumer. Third, froo cotton ties to tho cotton
states and tariffed hoop Iron to all the rest of
tho states. That is their Idea of tariff reform.
Henry liingham, of Pennsylvania,
presented the report of tho rules ctnn
inlttco and it was adopted by acclama
tion. Ex-Qovornor Foruker uroso in re
sponse to the call for tho committeo on
resolutions und requested further time
to consider tho resolutions. An oxteif
slon of tlmo was granted nnd tho roll of
states was called for tho names of tho
now national committeemen.
When Iowa was called and tho re
election of Clarkson, tho Hlaino leader,
was announced, cheer after cheer fol
lowed from the Hlaino delegates. A
similar demonstration greeted tho re
port of tho names of .1. 11. Manley, of
Mnlno, and William Mnhone, of Vir
ginia, and when Missouri was called
und William Warner presented tho nnmo
of Uichnrd C. Kerens tho Harrison dele

Various resolutions nnd petitions
which had been introduced nnd sent to
tho clerk's desk wero read by title nnd
referred to tho committee on resolu
tions. "Tho next tiling on tho list is tho
nomination of candidates for tho presi
dency," said Chairman McKlnloy.
A glance nt tho rules showed that
nominations could not bo mudo under
tho rules until tho reports of tho com
mittees had been received, and on mo

London, Juno 10. Tho effect of tho
Oriental bank suspension, which was
announced Wednesday afternoon, is in
no way comparable with tho crash of

been to a largo extent discounted, but
notwithstanding this it has exercised a
depressing lntlucnco on the markets gen
erally and is causing discussion regard

houses. Shares of tho Indian and Chi

Wo roatrirm tho doctrtno of protection. Wo
call attention to Its growth already. We main
tain that tho prosperous condition of our coun

tion of the republican congress. Wo bellovo
that nil articles which cannot bo produced In
tho United States, except luxuries, should bo
admitted frro of duty, and that on all imports
coming Into competition with ths products of
American labor there should bo levied duties
oiual to the dlffcrcnco botween wages abroad
and at' homo. Wo assert that tho prices of
manufactured articles of general consumption
havo been reduced under tho operations of tho
tariff oct of I8W.
Wodenounco the efforts of tho dcmocratlo
majority of tho hausc of representatives to de
stroy our tariff laws by piecemeal as Is mani
fested by their attacks upon wool, lead and lead
ores, tho chief products of a number of states,
and wo ask tho pcoplo for their judgment
thereon.
Wo point to tho success of tho republican
policy of reciprocity, upm which our export
trade has vastly Incruiscd and now and en
larged markets hivo been opened for tho prod
ucts of our farms and workshops. Wo rem Ind
tho pcoplo of thy bitter opposition of tho dcmo
cratlo party to this practical business measure,
and claim that, executed by u republican ad
ministration, our present laws will eventually
give us control of tho traJo of tho world.
Tho American peoplo. from tradition nnd In
terest, favor bl-motalllsin, and tho republican
party dcminds tho uso of both gold nnd silver
us standard monoy. with such restrictions and
under such provisions, to bo determined bv
legislation, as will secure tho maintenance of
tho parity of values of tho two metals, so that
tho purchasing und debt paying powor of tho
dollnr, whothcr of nllvcr, golJ or paper, shall
bo at all times equal. Tho Interests of tho pro
ducers of the country, Its farmers and Its work
lngmen. domind tint every dollar, paper or
coin. Issued by tho government, shall bo as
good as any other.
Wo command the wlso nnd patrtotlo steps al
ready taken by our government to socuro nn In

as will Insuro n parity of valuo between gold
and silver for use us money throughout tho
world.
Wo iromand that every citizen of tho United
States shall bo allowed to cast one frco and un
restricted ballot ln nil publlo elections, nnd
that such ballot shall bo counted nnd returned
as cast; that such laws shall bo cnactod and en
forced ns will secure to every citizen, tho rich
or ioor, native or forolgu born, this sovereign
right guaranteed by tho constitution
Tho freo and honest popular ballot, tho just
and equal representation of all tho people, as
well as their Juat and equal protection under
tho laws, aro tha foundation of our republican
institutions, and tho party will never relent Its
etferts until tho integrity of the fallot and tho
purity of o cottons shall bo fully guaranteed
und protected In every state.
Wo denounce tho continued Inhuman outrages
perpetrated upon American citizens, for polit
ical reasons. In certain southern states.
Wo favor the extension of our foreign com

Wo reaffirm our approval of tho Monroe iloc
trlno and believe In tho achievement of thn
manifest destiny of tho republic ln Its broadest ,
senso.

Tho republican party Ins always been tho

Wo reaffirm our opposition, declared ln tho
rcpubllinn platform of 18ss, to all combina
tions of oapltal organized ln trusts or other
wise to control arbitrarily tho condition of
trade among our citizens. Wo heartily Indorso
the action already taken upon tHU subject and
ask for such further legislation ns may bo re
quired to remedy nny defeats ln existing laws,
and to render their enforcement more comploto
