Misnkacolis, June 7.—The Republi- ;
can'couvention hall of 1892 was opened
io tLe general public with «u event long
&
not opposing him. inero was great
olieeriug, and a storm of applause greet
ed him as he stepped forward to read
the names"of the committee on creden
tials and call the convention to order.
At the mention of republican reciprocity
by Fnsnett.he was cheered vociferously.
Tremendious applause greeted Ftissetr
as he named^the republican leaders and
said: “Harrison and Blaine.”
His remarks about a "freeand honest”
ballot took the crowd immensely.
Mr. Fassett devoted a great deal of
his speech to the injustice of the Demo
cratic denial of suffrage, in the south.
These references finally resulted in the
audience calling ’’[tied!” "Reel!” and
calls for him to come forward. Reed
finally rose and came to the platform to
speak. Reed's 8i>eech was frequently
cheered.
' Sewell, of New Jersey, moved that
reached that McKinley can not control
jt. They argue that so smidl a wedge
will be sufficient to break up the race.
As it no\y stands they, say that the
Blaine people claim a majority of the
convention, and that the Harrison i>eo-
t)le claim a majority. They can not
both lie in the lead, and the inference
they draw in the contest between them
is that to lose a few votes uiav consti-
te make any report until an opfiortunity
is nllorded to judge of the importance
which their recommendation may have
in determining the result of the conven
tion. Of the contests so far disposed of
by'this committee, the Blaine delegates
have l»een seated in every instance', al
though in several of these, con testa
cient to bring in a second ballot, and
then a third, and so on, and protracted
balloting is set down as fatal to lx>th
Blaine and Harrison. It is understood
that thero are Ohio delegates who will
not vote for McKinley under any possi-
idtfcondition^ Then comes the ques
tion : Can a man be nominated without
his state solidly for him, "if he is in*-re
ly a favorite son V The answer is " No. ”
Most of the Massachusetts. Connecti
cut and Michigan delegates remained
seated. The cheering for Blaine was
increased all over the hall.
Michigan called. No candidate pre
sented,
Enstis of Minnesota, took the plat
form to second Blaine. He mentioned
McKinley as the great leader and disci-
le of protection. Enstis’ mention of

The most decisive. Blaine victory of
Die day was at the meeting of the Ten
nessee delegntiob. Most of the del*- j
gates from the state of Tennessee were
instructed to vote for Harrison, and on
the arrival <>f the Harrison leaders from
that state a few days ago, it was tnaiii-
tnined by 11. flay Evan* and others that
the vote would be 22 for Harrison to 1
for Blaine. The meeting gave tlie dele
gation to Blaine by tlie surprising vote
of 13 to 10.
The national committee remained in J
session until an early in tin- morning* I
and «1isf»sed of tlio cases of contested
delegations pending after the Alabama
and Mississippi cases had been acted
upon. The principle tight made was in
the Alabama case.
The Harrison men seeing a majority
of the committee against them, ceased
opposition further than to enter a pro
test against the action taken.
All the contestants were seated, and
the result is the loss of about thirty
votes to The Harrison column. The
Blaine men are claiming a gain of forty.'
The liarrikonites conceding twenty.

forces still claiming success, but eviden

prophesies. The night ju-d passed has
not been such as to give cheer to the
followers of.either candidate.

good deal of thunder in this country.
There is no longer any room for doubt
than the immediate friends of the Gov

The Governor himself, r through a
mixture of timidity and sense of honor,
still absolutely forbids any Ohio dele
gates to vote for him in the Buckeye
bailiwick, lb* may Ik* supinised to be
in command, but there 1* an cstjmate of
about twenty five vot s outside of Ohio
that will probabiy^tip-east for him on
