- The audiioriam is 260 .feet long anJi
120'ieet wide, with two side balconies
ami the' great tfallery, the seats ia
which rise tier on tier at an angle of
forty degrees. The stage, which il
but slightly raised above the floor of
the hall commands a view not only
of the great audience in front but of
the la-go baloony in the rear- and thi
tier of boxes at either side. Thu stagl

representatives. There are just 8,100
seats in the naU and ; as tbe
designated by blue silk banners let
tered in gold. A significant sight ia
the -open space of the empty
seats in the Virginia delegation. Four
Mahone delegates at large' have been
admitted to the hall and are alone
in their glory with plenty of room.

the .'great : crush outside while
the delegate j and those who had seats
were being admitted and directed to

Opened until all the. interior arrange

was kept waiting until two large bou
quets of cut flowers came in
and ' ' a floral shield was being
nailed upon the chairman's desk
which bears In Greek letters this
inscription: "James A. Garfield was
nominated from this desk in 1880 and
James Q. Blaine was nominated from
this desk in 1881."
Th air in the ball is delightfully
cool, and Although a large number o.
spectators as they come hive fins in
their hands they find no practical' use
for them. . The first delegates to reach
their seats aro those fro n Ohio, led
by Congressmen McKinney and But-terworth-
j McKinney, who is much
talked of as a dark horse, is recog
nized by a taw of the spectators in
the gallery and gets a cheer or two
which, however, is short lived. The
Michigan delegation follows the Ohio
men, coming uras a body and filling
up their block of seats on the front
of the second aisle. 'As 'spectators
generally are admitted more tardily
than i the delegations theie are few
demonstrations as the convention be
gins to gather. ; Most of those inside
the galleries ate ladies who are deeply
interested but not demonstrative.

As tne conclusion or tne prayer
Chairman Jones announced hat the
secretary, Mr. Fssendeo, of tbe na
tional committee, would teal the cull
for the convention issued by the na
tional committee; The allusions in the
call to the position of the party upon
tbe .tariff question, to the determina
tion of the party to have a fair eleo-
tioniind an honest count and to other
salient points were Warm y applauded
by tne convention.
upon tne conclusion 01 tne reading
of the call Chairman Jones stepped
to the front of the platform and ad
dressed the convention. Chairman
Jones then introduced Chairman-J
M . Thurston, of Nebraska, ae the tern
temporary cnairman 01 tne conven-
tiou. j
Delegate Osborne, of Kansas, ob
jected to the assumption on the part
of the national commit'ee of the right
to name the temporary chairman, and
asked if Thurston had boon elected
by the convention.
Ubaurman Jones repned :n an cm
phytic affirmative lor wnicn no was
vigorously applauded, but Mr. Os
borne was not to be subdued, and in
the name of the Kansas delegation he
declined to be responsible for the ac
tion of the national committee in this
piapnAv and regarded it as a groat mis
take. (Uisses). He desired tbe roll of
States that tbe Kansas delegation
miarht cast its vote for Hon. William
Warner, 01 Missouri, no attention
was paid to bis demand, bowever.and
Mr. Thurston immediately began his
address. Mr. Thurston's- speech was
delivered in a- resonant voice and
could be beard all over the
hall l and was continually in er
ruhted by applause. His reference
uxiJlaine a refusal to allow mmseii to
be nominated by the convention called
forth cries. "No!" "No!" all over the
ball but bis declaration that tlio con

Democratic administration for its sins
of omission ami cooiintasion vm re
ceived with hearty laughter and gen
erous applause. His peroration was
dfiliveredwiW telling effect and en
listed for bun great and tumultuous
applause and cheers. ;
The chair then ; announced the sec
retaries, assistant secretaries and ser
geants for the temporary organiza
tion. 'After the reading of the list of on
cers was completed the band struck
up a medley of national, airs, which
a warmly received . by the
audience, and as the air turned
into "Marching Through Georgia"
the assemblage caught up the refrain
and the chorus of many voices re
bounded throughout the halL f
Mr. Hana, of ; Michigan, was then
recognized and ; asoending ihe plat
form Said: Itn requested by the
delegation from my Hate to present
to the temporary chairman of this
convention for his use the gavel made
of oak under which the Republican
party was organized on the Cth of
July, 1854, in the village or city of
Jackson, in the. State of Michigan
(Applause.) This gavel has on it
copper, wool, . wood, iron and
salt (laughter), the fire indus
tries that the party now m
power would ' ruin and abolish
from the face of this country. He
thought it was best that this conven
tion should commence early to pound
the day light out of that party, and
therefore he begged the permission
of the convention to present this
gavel to the temp rary chairman.
The chairman , accepted the garel
with tbe remark that he would com
mence to pound the life out of the
Democratic party with it. Laughter
and applause, v
Mr. itoot, of Arkansas, moved tnat
the convention elect all tho officers
named by the National Convention.
The Chair said that he understood that
Chairman Jones having recognized no
objection to .the nominations of the
national commiuf.ee they had been ac
cepted by tbe convention end were
now the temporary officers of this
body.2 ; " ;.
Mr. Osborne, !of Kansas, said that
he was glad tha this gave him the
opportunity to again protest against
the acceptance of the rcoommendation
of the national committee without ja
vote. He asked; that the vote of the
convention be Recorded for William
Warner, of Missouri. Mr. Boot said
that his motion'; did not include the
temporary chairman who bad, he fully
understood, been duly elected, As
the other officers he now found were
included! in the general acceptance
of the committee's report, be with
drew his motios.
Judge i Moody, of Dakota, moved
that Dakota be allowed ten votes in
stead of two ih the proceedings of
the convention, as she was entitled
to this vote by. her population and by
all precedence in the history ol the
party. 1
Chairman Thurston elated that tbe
national committee had recommended
that Dakota be allowed ten votes
during the preliminary proceedings
of the convention, and that Washing-
tnn Territory tbv the trace of the
Democratic pary) be allowed six.
lbe rules of the last convention
were adopted for the government of
tbe present convention.
Until further, action Mr. Hollo well,
of Kansas, offered the following :
"The delegates to the Republican
convention repf erenting the surviving
comrades of the distingnished soldier
and General of: tbe Army, Philip H.
Sberidm, and rcp:esenting also the
living principles for which he so gal
lantly fought and triumphed during
tbe great era of the war. sond ntm
their e ncore congratulations on tbe
prospect of his recovery and hope
that his. life may be preserved for
many years."
The resolution was greeted with
cheers and was adopted by arising
vote, the immense audience joining
tbe delegates in doing honor to the
sick soldier. i
The Call of the States and Territor
nes lor members of tbe committee
was thebroceed d with. When t4
kota was re&ehed it was agreed HO
suspend the call, and tbe names of
the committeemen were banded vv
in writing.

desired to present bim to the oonven
taon'. They desired to present John
C- Fremont- This announcement' was
received with cheers, and the conven
tion voted o allow Chairman Green,
of the Nebraska delegation, to pre
sent Gen. Fremont When Mr. Green
appeared on tbe stage with (Jen. Fre
mont there was an outburst of ap
plause which lasted several moments.
Gent Fremont was an willing, he said,
to delay tbe business of tbe con
vention, and therefore he would
consume I only a few 1 mo
ments' time, but be would feel" that
be carried an insensible clod and not
a warm and sympathetic heart in bis
breast if he was not sensibly grateful
for tbe welcome he had reoeivod, Jiie
was happy and proud to receive! here
in this great national assembly the
welcome given by his friends j and
companions ! of many years, bv ibis
patty ; friends, by the men; ana be
sons of the men witb whom it has
been his conspicuous honor to have
been associated in the first opening
campaign of 1856. Applause.
After a speech from Fred. Douglas
Mr. Foraker arose in his seat and was
cheered. He asked that the commit
tees on rules, resolutions, permanent
organization and order of business, as
constituted by the different States, be
read.
There were also four district dele
gates from Virginia whose seats were
not contested. Unless tbe conten
tion should otherwise determine,, the
chair would hold that for the purpose
of participating in the temporary
organization the four delegates at
large, at the head of whiob was Will
iam Mahone, together with the four
whose seats were uncontested, would
have tbe right to name tbe committee
membership. John S. Wise, of Vir
ginia, rose, and in response to cries
from the floor and the galleries took
the stand on the platform. He was
here, he said, claiming to be
chairman of the lawful Virginia
delegation. The State was entitled
uhderrhe'-eall to have twenty-four
delegates, and out of these twenty
four twenty were contested. The
delegates at large, beaded by Mr.
Mahone had been held to have prima
facie title, and had been placed on the
rolls together with four district dele
gates whose seats were not contented.
These eight, but one-third of the Vir
ginia representation, led by William
Mahone, whose trifling with the
rights of the Republicans in Virginia
was the issue here, these eight bad
associated themselves together and
placed William Mahone on the
committee! on credentials to
pass upon his own case. That matter
bad been going on in Virginia for
some years. The decision was al
ways in favor of the plaintiff. William
Alahone a name was sent up by Wil
liam Mahone to William Mahone to
decide whether William Mahone was
a delegate or not (Laughter). He
had learned in his battles in Virginia
that a free ballot and a fair count
was the dearest boon of national
Republicanism. (Applause). He bad
learned that no man ought to be per
mitted to be judge and i suitor both
and .he hoped that, the decision of
the chair in putting Mr. Mahone upon
tne committee on credentials would
be overruled. It would be manifestly
unfair that Mahone should go upon
that committee and pass upon his
own case. It. might be that within
twenty-four hours the eight men who
selected bim might be le wing the hall
with their bats under their arms witb
the decision of the convention against
them, f Applause! Until it is set
tled neither aide should be iudge or
jury in, his own case.yi am willing to
trust the fairness and honesty cf tbe
Republican party from other States
of the Union outside of Virginia;
but I don't want William Mahone tq
remain on the committee on creden
tials and ; vote oh bis own case and
Frejudice mine and therefore appeal
roni to Jsjtdn of. tho cUair to tbia
convention." -
The chair said that be did not de
sire to be understood in bis decision
to prevent any gentleman to make
any motion looking to the settlement
of this dispute and the chair would
gladly entertain any motion to that
end. i i
Senator! Hoar, of Massachusetts,
..... k . . '.: . . . .
sata that the.; convention' evi
dently desired to hear Me. Ma-
bone, of Virginia, but be
detiired to . interpose two Bug
gestions before : tne matter pro
cedO(l further. Fust, that the cre
dentials committee must call the roll
of '.he convention and discussion
should be beard theron; and second
by all parliamentary law and ail jus
tice no man can vote in a commit
tee upon his own case and therefore
the objsct ons appearsd to be with
out reason. "ve all nave great re
spect for one who comes to us from
Virginia bearing the name of John S.
S Wise, 'and we are also glad to
honor the gallaat soldier who
first broke tbe force of tbe
Solid South. Between these two
who unhappily differ, this convention
will no doubt make a just decision,
but I appeal to the gentleman who
proposes to plunge' us into contro
versy at Una inopportune moment to
allow the matter to take its regular
course." j
When - Mr. Hoar bad concluded,
Mr. Mahone mounted the platform
and wu received with a storm of ap
plause. Gen. Mahone said that
he conies sed tt was witn no
ordinary , regret that he ' found
it was necessary for thus con
vention to be asked to consider
the troubles of the party in Virginia.
lie wanted to Bay in respect to what
had been said to prejudice his atti
tude before the convention that tbe
regular organization of the nartr in
Virginia, which he represented, had
increased the Republican rote 80 per
cent in that State, lie represented
not only the regular organization but
90 per cent of the Republicans. Those
who were opposing bim here have
done nothing for the party except to
engage in strife and contention. He
would prepare to show that the mem
bers who were opposing him had no
standing in the ; party. The contest
ing delegates at large were chosen by
a bolting convention, consisting of el
members from nearly . 700 members
of the regular Convention. The con
tests of the district delegates
were on equally ridiculous grounds.
Gen. Mahone proceeded to give the
status of the troubles of tbe party in
Virginia, and was proceeding with an
appeal that the convention should

At this point Wise broke in ener
getically with the declaration, "I
charge you witb the fraud by which I
was cheated in my contest."
Then retorted Mahone, 1 "Your
from the decision by a regularly con
stituted delegate.
The whole discussion was out of
order.
Mr. Buttorworth, of Ohio, said that
the dispute between tbe two gentle
men from Virginia turned upon the
right of Mr Mahone to vote on bis
own case. It was impossible for Mr.
MaLone to do that uuder the regular
order of business. Of course he
would be excluded from the commit
tee on credentials while his case was
under consideration. Thia was a Re
publican convention and it should
conduct its bnsiness in order. He
therefore moved to refer the whole
matter to where it properly belonged,
the committee on credentials.
The chair said that he had already
decided that the discussion of the
Virginia contested case was out of
order at this time.
Mr. Wellington, of Maryland,moved
that neither of the contesting dele
gations be given represention on the
committee on credentials.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetta,
opposed the motion and pointed out
the danger which might result from
setting such a precedent-Notice of con
test might b that event prevent a great
State like New York from partici
pating in the framing of the proceed
ings of the convention. He moved
to lay the motion on the table and
this motion was agreed to amid ap
plause. The convention then at 3 30 o'clock
adjourned till tomorrow at noon, and
amid strains of music by the band
tbe delegates and the vast audience
filed from the hall.

Berlin, June 17. Emperor William

order to the army: " Whilb the army '..

ii-ng uiiam I, my deeplv revered
.grandfather, whose memory will ever
live in ail 09irt?. it baa suffered a
fresh and heavy blow 'by jji9 death of
my dear and warmly-loved father.
X bis is, indeed, a serious and sorrow

from a deeply moved heart
I address my first l-yorda to

honor and du'.y my glorious ances
tors hae implanted iu the army, and
I know in how great a measure this
feeling has at all tinuta been ihanifeat
ed in the army. A 1 fiftn 'and '
inviolable attachment to tho
war lord ia an inheritance handod
down from father to son from gener
ation to generation, and in the samo
way I refer you to .my grandfather,
who stands fresh m all vour mpmnripn
as the personification of the glorious -
and venerable warlord, such aa could
not be more finely conceived or in
a form, more epeakincr to th
heart. I refer you to my beloved
father who as Crown Prince, had al
ready won a place of honor in the
annalsi of the army, and to a long line
of glorious ancestors whoso n
shone brightly in history, and whose
hearts beat warmly for the army. '
Thus we belong to each' other I and
tbe army. Thus we were born for
one another, and thus wt will stand
together in an- indissoluble bond in

ou will now take toj me tbe
oath cf fidelity and obedic nee, and I ,
swear ever to remember th it the eyea

Tho President called: the Assembly
to order at 10.30 odock.
Misses Brookfield and McCorkle
and Prof. D. L. Ellis were appointed
to take charge of the 1 Teachers Bu
reau and to open the! books at once
and arrange that the school officers
and. teachers having wants in- this de

The special order of business be
ing "gnomes," rroi. urerge rx. win-
ston. of tne University, turned some
most amusing and valuable light
upon, the so-called "improved metb
od of teaching spelling.
Prof. Winston traced language from
its origin . (historically considered)
down to its now almost perfect, state;
and he noticed some of the various
devices put forward by philologists
of ail ages to improve arunciai lan
guage, and showed why a multiplicity
of better characters was not desirable.
Throughout 1 the ' discussion the
speaker showed his earnestness in the
subject, and was frequently applauded
py tne aeugntea auuaeuce.
Jfew men in JNortn uarouna can
surpass Jfroi. Winston in poini oi
solid argument, straicbf forward dis
cussion and finely temptit d wit and
delicate humor, and no other audi.
in hattfir nrerjared to appreciate
his addresses than our enthusiastic
North Carolina teachers.

and ne was proua to Bay tnat it was
th mAthod nsed in the Raleigh
schools. He believed tbnf. it was the
best method that bi - been yet de
vised. It has been 'greatly abused,
but it has great merit. The method
is used that a child may learn new
words, and was endorsed by some
eminent authors. Spelling should be
taucht bv the eve. i " I
Prof. M. C. 3. Noble, superintend
ent of the Wumington ! graded
schools, said that he also used the
ohonio system in bis schools and
felt that he could not well get along
without it. I
Prof. Winston in! reply said that bo
did not differ from Profs. Moses and
Noble in any material way, as he had
seen this work in their schools and
was satisfied that it was good. But
yet be belived that the phonic system
could be carried too iar. .
EVENIN SESSION.
The hall was packed this evening
to see and to heax tne inimitable
Frank Beard, of whom so much had
been said. When this celebrated ar
tist and humorist, came upon tbe
staire the audience extended bim a
welcome by hearty! applause thus in
dicating to him that he bad captured
his audience in the beginning. This,
however, was entirely unnecessary aa
he bad hardly begun before it was
seen that a very unusual and rich
treat was in store for the Assembly.
He is indeed without a compeer in his
line of work in America, and tbe skill
witb which he bandies tbe chalk is
wonderful to a great degree, and as
he develops bis surprising pictures he
