' -, Tlif tenth republican national convention was called to order In the Industrial K posltlou buildlntt at Minneapolis", Minn., June 7. 1892, by James S. Olarkson, chair man of'.tha republican natlonul cunimtttee. Three days before Jamea UllleMpta llaine, Kecretary of state under President Har rison, recognized candidate for the nomina tion, had In a curtly worded note which liermltted no answer save that of accept ance without regrets, resigned from his high office. The resignation on the eve of the convention's meeting was the start ling and dramatic Incident of the ante conventlon period. It was at once Inter preted by both friends and foes as an an nouncement that the man whose name had been presented to four republican conven tions was again a candidate for the repub lican presidential nomination. The friends of President Harrison de nounced the action as treasonable, de claring that If Blaine still cherished such ambitions he should have retired earlier from the cabinet. Blaine's friends defended his course and when the delegates gathered in Minneapolis the opposition to Harrison had, despite the tardiness of the resigna tion, assumed such strength that Ulalne supporters gained control of the preliminary organliatlon and J. Sloat Fassett of New Tork, an opponent of Harrison, was named it temporary chairman. Party Strife. Very early In the course of the proceed ings the charge was made that the con vention waa packed with Harrison office holders. It was openly asserted that out of 460 Harrison delegates. 132 were com missioned officeholders, and that as many of these were from the south, they repre sented no republican constituency. That the charge was not groundless was shown in the fact that of eighteen delegates from South Carolina, eleven were officeholders and that Georgia sent twenty-two office holders In its delegation of thirty-five. Harrison had ullenated many of the strong men of his party, among them Sen ators Piatt, Quay, Stockbridge and Hansbrough. Others opposing him were Chairman Clarkson, Warner Miller of New York. Payne of Wisconsin. Fassett of New ork. Conger of Ohio, Scott of West Vir ginia, Senator Wolcott of Colorado, Chauneey I. Filly of Missouri and Knight of California. Ills supporters-and as events proved, he had enough to win the nomination were led by John t New of Indiana, who was called horns from his duties as consul at London to take charge of his chiefs cam pslgn. Test of lrah. Ths first real test vots between the Har rison and Blatue men came on tbe third day of the convention. William McKinley. Jr., of Ohio, who had been mentioned as a possible dark horse should the fight be tween the two leading candidates develop a deadlock, had been selected as permanent chairman. The committee on credentials presented a majority anj a minority report. The delegates about whose title the com mittee was divided were four at large from Alabama. The delegates whose seating was recommended by the majority report were classed as Harrison men, while the minority report was In favor of four known to favor Blaine. The majority report was supported by Chauneey Uepew of New York, Massey of Delaware. Powell Clayton of Arkansas, ltethea of Illinois. Hart of West Virginia and others. Th minority report wan supported by Senator JVolcott of Colorado, Fllley of Missouri, Knight of California. Puffleld of Michigan and Warner Miller of New York. The majorl'y or Harrison report was cur ried. Demonstration that Foiled. . On the fourth day, Friday, June 10, Sen ator Wolcott, in an eloquent speech placed James U. Hlalne of Maine in nomination, A spectacular demonstration which lasted almost half an hour followed. It was led by a young and pretty woman, Mrs. Car son Lake, who at first held In her hands a light colored parasol, which she furled and unfurled. As though it were a baton, she controlled the great waves of sound by Its movements. Later she was given a flag, which she waved. The galleries joined In the tumult of enthusiasm, but the dele gates, most of them pledged to a candidate, remained largely unmoved. The demons. ra tion was recognised as a farewell to the unrewarded statesman rather than an ova tion to the possible victor. Blaine's nomination was seconded by W. H. Kustls of Minnesota. W. K. Molllson of Mississippi, Warner Miller of New York. U. B. Boyd of Tennessee and S. W. Donney of Wyoming. H V. Thompson of Indiana presented the name of President Harrison. This nomina tion was seconded by Chauneey Pepew of New York. 11. H. Cheatam of North Caro lina, John S. Spooner and Bruno Fink of Wisconsin. On the first ballot. Benjamin Harrison of Indiana was nominated for a second term, receiving 635 and one-sixth votes. James Q. Blaine of Maine received 1S2 and five-sixths vole; William McKlnley, Jr., of Ohio. 182; Thomas B. Reed of Maine, 4. and Kobert T. Lincoln of Illinois, 1. Blaine's Bitter Year. It was a bitter year for Blaine. Henry Clay of the republican parly, few weeks afler this final pollticul appointment, and will' the democratic convention was In sessln t In Chicago, his son, ICimnons Blaine, d.ed In that city. Not long before he had lost another son, Walker, upon whom he had leaned heavily. The man to whom the democratic conven tion voted resolutions of sympathy was. pel haps, not unready or even unwilling for the final summons which came to him In the fall of the year which for the second time since I860 brought defeat to the party to which lie had given the strength of his manhood. For vice president. Whltelaw Field of New York was nominated by aoclamatlon. The platform adopted lauded ths repub lican party, declared for the policy of pro tsctlon and reciprocity, for tbe u.e of both gold and silver with proper restrictions, the A dls- demanded the free ballot, denounced the political methods of certain southern states, advocuted the extension of foreign com merce, approved the Monroe doctrine, favored the restriction of immigration, the protection of railway employes, condemned trusts, declared for the extension of the free delivery service, commended civil service reform, announced that the party was in favor of the con struction ot the Nicaragua canal,' und of the admission of the remaining ter ritories at the earliest practicable date, and declared that while territories they should be granted the right of self-government as far as practicable. Arid public lands, the platform opined, should be ceded to the states and territories tit.der congressional restrictions. The Cloode of Virginia and Martin of West Virginia. William C. He Witt of New York pre sented the name of David Bennett Hill, and speeches, seconding the nomlnaUon were made by J. It. Fellows of New York. John W. Daniel of Virginia, J. W. St. Clair of West Virginia and Bourke Cock ran of New York. Horace Boies of Iowa, who had been regarded' as good vice presidential timber by the Cleveland men, developed presi dential aspirations and was nominated by John F. Duncombe of Iowa. His nomina tion was seconded by Henry Watterson of Kentucky. A. Kernan of Louisiana an! Clark of Montana. What the Itallott Showed. It was most midnight und an equinoctial storm wns raging when the delegates be gan to cast their votes for the democratic presidential candidate, June 22. l-2. A two-thirds vote, 007, was needea to nomi nate. On the first ballot, (Jrover Cleveland of New York received 017'i votes; David B. Hill of New York. 114; Hoiace Boles of Iowa, 103; Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland, 3Vs; Adlal K. Stevenson of Illinois, 14a; John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, 14; William It. Morrison of Illinois, 3; James E. Camp bell of Ohio, 2; William C. Whitney of New York, 1; William K. KuhscII of Massachusetts, 1, Kobert K. Paulson of Pennsylvania, 1. On the first ballot for vice prf s dent Adlal K. Stevenson of Illinois received 4(2 votes; Isaac V. Gray of Indiana. 343; Allen B. Morse of Michigan, 40; John L. Mit chell of Wisconsin, 45; Henry Watterson of Kentucky. 20; Bourke Cockran of New York. 6; Lambert Tree of Illinois, 1; and Horace Boies of Iowa, 1. Changes were then made which gave Adlal E. Stevenson the required two-thirds. Strnuitle Over Tariff. The only thing approaching a struggle In this democratic convention was the discussion over the tariff plank. The one prepared by the committee on resolutions was amended and the amendment was i finally adopted. H denounced republican protection and pointed to wage reductions and prevailing strikes in the Iron trade as the best evidence that the McKlnley tariff law had not brought prospt-rlty. The Force bill, aiming at federal control of southern elections, carne In for Its share of denunciation, as did sham rtciproclty, trusts and combinations, the Sherman act ot luuO, the sweating system and sumptu ary laws. Civil servloa reform laws, a strong foreign policy, the World's fir. the Nicaragua canal, ' popular education, the territories, railroad employes, water ways, immigration, pensions, a tax on tate banks dnrt sympathy for the op pressed, of. foreign nations furnished ma terial fur various pianks, but ' the tariff and Force bill supplied the ac tual strength. Other Conventions. - The national people's party held Its first convention In Omaha, Neb., from July 2 to July 5. The new party declared Itself In favor of the free coinage c' silver, an Income tax and the government ownership of railroads und telegraph and telephone lilies. James li. Wciver of Iowa wa-s nom inated for the" presidency; James O. Field of Virginia for the vice presidency. C. H. Elllnton of Georgia served as , temporary chairman, II. L. Loucks of South Dakota us permanent chairman. The socialist-labor conventlun met in New York City, August 2S, and nominated Simon Wing of Massachusetts for presi dent and Charles H. Matchett of New York for vice president. It declared for an entire change in the system. World's Columbian exposition was rec ognized in a resolution stating that con gress should enact reasonable legislation for Its aid. Temperance, morality, the veterans and Harrison's administration were also given some kind words. The convention adjourned June 19, having been In session four days. Democrats at the Wlaxwaiii. The movement for the nomination of Grover Cleveland as the standard hearer of tho democratic party began almost as soon as President Harrison succeeded him, March 4, I(-S9. During the four years of Harrison's administration, Cleveland lived in New York City. Kvery public address which he made was closely scrutinized and the sentiment in his favor strengthened with the passage of the months.. When the convention years of 1SH2 dawned, in almost every state of the union there was a strong feeling among democrats ut larxc that he was the national candidate. When, therefore, the New York state machine, controlled by Tammany, with Croker at Its head, so manipulated the state conven tion, held at Albany, February 22, 1W2, that the delegation to the national convention was Instructed for Dav.d II. H 11, ureal was the Indignation. The convention was denounced as a snap convention and the anti-snap movement, having for its pur pose tho lustration of the scheme of the New York machine politicians, waxed strong and vigorous. guite early In the spring ot 192 .William C. Whitney of New York took charge of the organization work for the Cleveland nomination, and by the time the demo cratic natlonul convention assembled In Chicago the result of the convention was assured. The convention waa called to order June 21 and adjourned June 23, but a sho.ter time would have sufficed bad not the city been assared of a sess.on of at least tines days. It was the year preceding that ot the World's Columbian exposition. For the meetings of the convention a laige building on the lake front, called the Wigwam, had been especially constructed. As first planned, this waa to be covered with a canvas roof, but the months of June and July wera months of storms and after one roof of canvas hail been destroyed a cov ering of wood was substituted. This change and another Increasing the vesting capa city occasioned some fear as to the safety of the building. These fears proved groundless, though the elements were un- friendly and several of the sessions were held during violent storms, which made . hearing difficult and necessitated the use of open umbrellas in the convention hall. Introducing' Aspirants. Though the New York delegation sup porting Hill waa beaten before the con vention assembled, as Cleveland com manded more than the necessary two thirds on the first ballot, It made a brave showing. One of the most eloquent speeches of Bourke Cockran was that second. ng the nomination of IIII and opposing that of Cleveland, which was delivered after midnight just before the' ballot for presi dential candidate was tuken. William C Owens of Kentucky was temporary chairman, William L. Wilson of West Virginia, permanent chairman. As the New York delegation was pledged to Hill, Governor Leon Abbett of New Jersey presented tho name of Grover Cleve land of New York. Speeches seconding his nomination were made by Oeorg-o F. Pat terson of Cullfornia, A. W. Green of Il linois, W. K. English of Indiana, Fenton of Kansas, J. A. McKenzle of Kentuckv, Patrick A. Collins of Massachusetts, W, H. Wallace of Missouri, Hensel of Penn sylvania, G. W. Ochs of Tennessee, John of government. Its social demands In cluded federal and municipal control of public utilities and public lands. Tho prohibition convention met In Cin cinnati June 1, with John P. St. John of Kansas as temporary chairman, and L'li Kltter of Indiana as permanent chairman. John Bldwell of California was nominated for president. Other candidates voted for were Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio, W. Jen nings Demurest of New York, H. Clay iiuscoin of New York, J. B. Cranfill of TeX'is was chosen. Others voted for wero Joshua Levering of Maryland, W. W. Sat teily ot Minnesota, Thomas 11 Carskadon of West Virginia. The election took place November 8, 1W2. Forty-four states voted, six new states Idaho, Montana North and South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming baving been admitted since tho previous presidential election, Wyoming had sent women as al ternate delegates to the republican con vention. Of a total popuar vote of 12,036,089, Cleve land received 6,r.r6,S2S votes; Harrison, 5.1?,106; Weaver, 1,041.021; Bldwell, 2i2,C34, and Wing, 21,104 votes.
