Harrison Nominated, Minneapolis, June 11. The first thing done by tbe national committee after the battle, was to unanimously choose J. S. Clarkson temporary, chairman of the national committee and De Young tem porary secretary. The committee will meet at Washington June 7, when per manent organization will be effected.' Minneapolis, June 11. Immediately after the adjournent of the convention Thursday the Blaine people called a meeting of their leaders to be held in Chairman Clarkson's room. It waslong after 2 o'clock Friday a. m. when tbe counsellors got together. Among those present were Clarkson, Quay, Fassett, Walcott and Piatt. Tbe situation was fully discussed and it was apparent that great bitterness had been engendered by the contest of the evening and the vic tory of the Harrison forces in the creden tials committee. The advisability of dropping Blaine and centering upon Mc Kinley or Sherman was fully discussed, but no de6nite results were reached and at 4 a. m, they adjourned. Anollier Conference. Piatt, Walcott, Clarkson, Teller, Bou tcllc, Manley and others on Friday morn ing resumed this conference. When they adjourned they figured that they would be able to beat Harrison, but in the fore noon they found their plans disarranged and were much less confident of their ability to carry out their plans. The scheme in part was to consolidate Ohio on McKinlev, Michigan on Alger, and if possible to get awav some of Harrison's strenKtnin Massacnusetts ana iowa. In Ohio great work was done. Foraker at first would not go into any combine tion on anv one else than Blaine. He said be had not come for the special pur pose of defeating Harrison, bnt to nomi nate Blaine and be was disposed to stick to him. Friday porning, however, there was a decided disposition to concentrate strength on McKinley. At 10:30 a. m. one of Got. Foraker't men said tbe governor would now do whatever was right and necessary, first to defeat the President and afterwards to nominate a new man. . He said that the Ohio dele gates were disposed to get together and burr personal dinerences and for the glory of the state unite and came a man they believed to be a winner. They bad met and, a they sometimes did in Ohio, had come pretty close together. ' Meanwhile tbe Harrison v managers were actively working to counteract tbe movement, and Senator Cullom, it was said, bad done particular good work in committee. Some Harrison managers were super stitious about voting on Friday and a proposition was made, and seriously en tertained, to delay the balloting until af ter midnight. Objection was urged, and after conference Gen. Sewcll, of New York, said the Hatrison men would not delay. - v- ' nominsiingusy. The morning opened with tbe Harrison people still confident, but tbe Blaine managers affected to be none the less de termined. Chairman Clarkson said that be bad received a large number of tele grams in the morning from prominent men throughout the country, whb had heretofore been urging , him to harmo nise the opposition in support of the trresident. reauesting him now to make every effort to bring about a reconcilia tion of the warring factions and unite on some man who would be satisfactory to both elements. McKinley, Rusk, Reed and Allison had all been suggested in those tt ' --rtn. . , r-. ' OnetV, i f.f Thursday night's fight was vimf . on j 1 !s on the opening Friday, andtS tv at at the bitterness of feel ing engendered in the contests in mani festations of the past week bad grown to proportions which, ra a measure, excited the apprehension of tbe more conserva tive republicans. The Harrison people of course were inclined to be considerate. It was the rank and file of the Blaine forces who, mourning and refusing to be com forted, uttering defiance to the adminis tration candidate. Just how lasting this feeling will be, ofcourse, no oue can say. Tlie Massachusetts stat; delegation held a conference Friday morning and the greatest anzietv was evinced as to its probable results. Various other state delegates, or a majoritv of delegates thereof, held impromptu conferences and the nir was full of rumors of all kinds. McKinlv appeared to be the man most looked to as a compromise candidate. The Blaine people took particular pains to give out the statement that tlu-y pro posed to stand by their candidate and there were indications that a strenuous attempt was being made to preserve a solid front. In SetiBloii. At 11 o'clock, the hour set for the as sembling, the results of the long night session and anxious caucuses was plainly visible in the haggard faces of the dele gates who bad put in appearance. Mc Kinley, prompt to the minute in taking the chair, was, for the third successive day, accorded the first round of cheers. Notwithstanding the trying responsi bilities through- which lie had passed McKinley seemed, in comparison wfth the majority of those before him, re latively fresh and vigorous, ready to hold the balance firmly and effectively in the great battle that promised to char acterize the day's proceedings. Looked Like Gen. Brattll The clergyman selected to deliver the opening prayer was a life long staunch republican, but. in person he bore a re markable resemblance to that famous democrat and particular friend of Grover Cleveland, Oen. Uragg, ot Wisconsin. The preacher's reputation, however, hinged on a far more solid foundation than his facial traits. He wns the Rev. Wylaud Hoyt, of Minnesota, whose name has long been probably as familiar to Baptists throughout the country as that ot anv other minister in tneir pow erful denomination: As he sat waiting for tbe moment when he should ltyt bis voice in supplication he attracted -as much attention, from,, the audience as leaders like Depew. -: v Caucussing, informal but not geafrfli, all over the floor delayed the start, and at 11:10 o'clock Clavton. Boutelle. Bur- rows, of Michigan, and others of both" sides seemed by their movements desir ous of all tbe time possible to get their forces ranged into something like fighting lines. Piatt was one of the few of the biscest men who remained out wardly impassive. Tbe hurrying back ward and forward, whispering and combination-making had its larger storm centers near the Ohio, Fennsylva, nia, Wisconsin, Indiana and Kansas delegations. The dark horse gossip erew with every moment, Tbe sharp tap of the gavel at 11:15 checked the hum and was followed by cheering. McKinley ordered the aisles cleared and some sort of order was established. Dr. Hoyt grayed that tbe man to be selected as the standard bearer might be chosen by the Lord and the man after his own heart. A little flutter of applause greeted the report, by senator yuav, that Hon. David Martin, of Philadelphia, bad been selected by Pennsylvania as a member of tne national committee, martin was Otiav'a candidate, and his selection indi cated the continued sway of the senator of the Key Stone state. A moment later Chairman McKinley said : "Mr, Quay, of Pennsylvania, reports, on oart of those opposed to the majority reports, that thev will make no furtbur opposition to its adoption." Prolonced cheers followed this an nouncement of his acknowledgement of defeat from the opponents of the major ity report of the credential committee, and their report was adopted by accla mation.' 4 . A separate vote wae demanded bv the Mormon contesting delegates, of Utah on their case, but the majority report was adopted and tbe Mormons were de clared in-eligible. On tbe request 01 enntrmnn uumeld. Alger's manager, the Michigan delega tion was allowed to retire for fifteen minutes for consultation, . Am It Wbi In tn Last Cong-reaa. A colored gentleman from South Car olina said under the rules of the fifty first congress, adopted by this conven tion, every contestant has a right to be beard, yet the committee on credentials bad slammed tbe doors id the laces ol tbe contesting Alabama delegation, and said they should not be heard. Some one made the point of order, however, that the Alabamian was a member of no delegation upon the floor of this con vention and tne coiorea gentleman sud- sided. : . , ' ' . It was a woman's turn next and tbe height of enthusiasm was reached when Mrs. Eden Foster, of the W. C. T, U who was given permission to address the delegates, declared that the grand est of all the galaxy of states was the state of Wvoming, where women had been recognized as a political equal of man.' .'. .. 1 Alalbauia. state of, contests, reported that there was disagreement over the selection of the national committeemen and for a few minutes it seemed that tbe rows of Alabama were once more to be brought before the conKntion. "If there is no objection." said Chair man McKinley, "the Alabama delega tion will be granted time to correct tbefr arithmetici" Laughter. "The regular Order," resumed the chairman, "the representation of candi dates for president of the United States rhms. - .; It was then decided that the roll of states should be called, and when Col orado was reached,, Senator Walcott arose. Instantly the Blaine men burst into a wild and enthusiastic cheers and all doubt as to the presentation of the name of fames G. Blaine was now re moved. Senator Wolcott spoke as fol lows: , Wolcott's Speech. "Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of the convention. The republicans of the west, some times differ with the re publk'iins of the east as to what is wanted. On this occasion there is a re markable unanimity between the gen uine republicans ol the west and the gen uine republicans of the east as to who is needed, and his name is Blaine." The name of the Maine statesman seemed to be one to conjure with, for when Senator Wolcott pronounced it one great universal howl went up from the audience and was taken up by a large number of delegates. New York particu larly being very effusive. Hats and hankerchiefs, as well as fans and umbrel las were called into use, and the noisy galleries assisted in the uproar with their feet. The demonstration lasted about sixty seconds and when it con cluded. Senator Wolcott continued as follows: "The greatest republican now living suffered defeat eight yearsag because the party which he lead and honored always was torn by discord and because fraud triumphed. We meet today to end that wrong and to present to our uncrowned leader the pledge of our unswerving de votion and assurances of a victory in November that will obliterate in his heart and ours the memory ot past de feat." The speaker at this point was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers, many of tbe delegates standing upand waiving their handkerchiefs and flags, and the audienoe generally yelling loudly. "With our reputation for fealty and devotion it is to us a matter of compafa tive indifference who shall be chosen to lead the democratic hosts; but we trust tbey will again renominate the prophet of tariff reform in order that we may demonstrate how short a life has slan der and calumny; that the country may repair the wrong of 1884, and that we may stamp with the seal of final disap proval a policy which could lead only to impoverishment at home, and which brought us only contempt and dishonor abroad. Tbe welfare of our beloved party, Mr. Chairman, is of infinitely greater importance than tbe nomination or vindication of any other within its rank, and when tbe roll of states is called, I believe it will be remembered that the ' obligations of office are tepaid solely by the fuithful performance of itsduties.and that manhood and independence are not bartered among good men for tbe emolu ments and honors of public station. Cheers. "Our candidate, Mr. Chairman, has never been president of the United States. He will be" the speaker was again in terrupted while the audience turned it self loose and many delegates applauded loudlvl. "But if he has not yet occupied that high office, he has bv his devotion") to bis party made republican presidents possible, and lie bas guided two admin istrations with his sagacity and faith fuluess. Blaine's Record. "We are respected and honored abroad; we owe it to his state craft. There is no public measure since the days of recon struction which has tended to the ad vancement of our country with which his name is not identified; and when tbe history of this generation of the republic shall be written, -his name will stand foremost among the list of statesmen. The best gifts of the world are not to those who seek them applause. For my part I rejoice that opportunity is given me to cast my vote for the man who seeks everything for his country aad nothing for himself. Cheers And tbe same devotion to tbe nation's wel fare which has guided him in bis public life tor nearly a generation insures his ac ceptance of any duty which this conven tion may impose upon him. (.Applause. j "For many months there has been ap prehension in the public mind respecting bis health and strength. It is gratiiving to be able to state that the fears which moved us were groundless. For our country's sake, and his own, we could wish that be were again tbe young and ardent leader whose light has' flared in countless battles, and that bis youth could be renewed like the eagles. TCheers. And so. Mr. Chairman, in tne Hour when victory is at hand we turn to the intreprid leader who has so shaped his party's policy, which has lifted it above the danger ot lurther deieat, and to those of us who belong to the younger elements of tbe party, who are content to follow and not to lead and who ask only to bear their share of the burden and heat of the day, he stands as our ideal, our inspiration. With loving faith aud trust that Providence will long spare him to tbe people whose grateful homage he bas earned and whose affectionate devotion be posseses, we pledge our unfaltering and loyal sup oort to Tames G. Blaine.'7 As the speaker closed the followers of tbe Flamed Knight gave a spontaneous burst of applause which lasted, however, but a few moments. It was renewed, however,, by long-drown out calliope howls from men of lungs in the lower corner of the hall. This was answered with cries of -Blaine 1 Blaine 1 Blaine I" Nominating Harrison. f At the conclusion of Senator Wolcott's speech the call of states was resumed and when Indiana was reached the venerable Richard W. Thompson, ex-secretarr of the navy, arose. Always a favorite in republican conventions the distinguished Indianan, rising to nominate Harrison, became tbe temporary ideal of the con convention. In response to the popular demand he took the platform and when he started .freely alluded to Wolcott's speech by : saying , that the candidate whom he would name did not seek ele vation by the detraction of any other great republican. This sentiment elkted cheers of approval, '.; " "I nominate for president of the United States." be concluded "the warrior. Statesman, Benjamin Harrison." : I , A counter demonstration that, to far Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Li V ABSOLUTELY PURE as the delegates were concerned surpass ed the Blaine greeting, followed Mr. Thompson's speech and it was nearly two minutes before the Harrison cheers subsided. The call of the states was resumed and when Michigan was reached there was a breathless pause, but no response came from the Michigan delegation. What's the matter with Alger?" shouted a south ern delegate. A voice replied : "Not in it," and the convention, taking it that the Michigan delegation had retired Algei from the race, burst into cheers, just why no one knew. Mr. Eustis, of Minnesota, seconded thenomination of Blaine. "The republican party honored its great leaders," he said, "but above them all stood one man. Every issue on which we must fight in this contest, is personified in his name." At the cHse of Eutis's speech the chief Blaine demonstration of the day took place. It seemed as though it was with out end. The crowd yelled, waved um brellas, and threw hats in the air, danced, cheered, and after everv man had come to think human power must soon overcome itself the old stamping cry, "Blaine! Blaine! Blaine ! lames G. Blaine!" sped throughout tbe audience. When it had lasted so that subsidence was coming from exhaustion, some one in the crowd began hissing. Then a lady was given a huge star bearing the por trait of Blaine. She waved it on high and the cheering was again resumed. Tbe enthusiasm began to stir up the old Blaine men who had reluctantly consent ed to co into the McKinley movement, and this once again excited Foraker's hopes that the gallant war horse of his devotion might go through in a hurrah, so that Clarkson, and the other leaders had to go to .him and stop him from breaking tbe programme. The cheers lasted thirty one minutes. W. E" Mattison, colored delegate from Mississippi, seconded tbe nomination ol "the greatest citizen ot tbe world, a man so great that no man is jealous of him. That greatest of Americans, that great est of living republicans, James G, Blaine." Depew Speaks. When the cheers which followed this speech of the colored delegate bad sub sided the name of New York was called. As the courtly Depew arose 5,000 Har rison representatives burst into one mighty cheer. The New Yorker s speech was more remarkable for one bad break than for oratory. He was thoughtless enough, in alluding to the "brilliant record ot Har rison's administration" to ask: "Who will be credited? Who will share in every one of them ?" The natural answer, of some, was "Blame," and another mon ster demonstration was precipitated by the followers of the Flumed Knight Then a Harrison outbreak followed. Then Warner Miller seconded Blaine's nomination. He was followed by a col ored delegate who brought down the house by the declaration "thank God the people in the galleries have votes at the polls." Then be had the audience, and his every sentence was cheered to the last, to the effect, "eternity itselfshall catch the name of Jas. G. Blaine." Other seconds followed, but there was nothing of especial interest till Mr. Don ney speaking of McKinley said "that when four years were rolled around he would be the invincible candidate of the republicans." The convention then proceeded to vote for a presidential nominee and, as told in these dispatches yesterday, Harrison was nominated on the first ballot. The nomination was made unanimous, and the convention adjourned till 8 p. m. Wbltelaw Held for Vice. The evening session was a rfcort one. Wbitelaw Reid .was nominated on the first ballot. Ingalls made an Ingall's speech, and the convention permanently adjourned at 9:45. PRESIDENT POLK IS DEAD THE END CAME IN WASHING TON SATURDAY.

Another Threatened and the Nc itroes Determined to Retaliate Outhrie Full of Armed Men, and a Race War Seems Imminent. Guthrie, 0. T., June 13. There was great excitement in this city last night, occasioned by two criminal assaults by negroes upon white women. A negro lad named Holley assaulted Mrs. Charles Moore, wife of n freighter who was away from home at the time. He was arrested, and a mob surrounded the jail, threaten ing to lynch him. The negroes of the town claimed that Hojv was innocent, although he had confessed bis guilt to the sheriff, and a race war seemed immi nent. There was much angrv talk, "Judge" Perkins, a negro lawyer, being the spokesman for the colored class. During the excitement be said: "Let the whites barm that man and the town will be in ashes before morning." The second outrage was that made upon the wife of James Genken, engineer of the e'ectric plant, by an unknown ne gro who escaped. A posse, beaded by Genken, were on bis trail and captured and lynched him. A mob of negroes surrounded the jail and sent couriers to Lanston City, a ne gro colony, ten miles distant, with the report that the whites were about to lynch an innocent negro and. many ne groes flocked here determined to protect tbe object of the white men's vengeance. Many of the negroes were armed and hundreds ot whites are carrying Winches ters and revolvers. At 1 o'clock this morning police officers Lester and Kitchen with one or two citizens ordered a lot of negroes station ed on the corner next to the jail, to moveV on. Several offered resistance, but the officers used the clubs effectually. Sev eral negroes excited by the recent race disurbances, jumped on tbe boxes and made speeches to excite the crowds. Two or throe shots were fired, and a negro yelled, "Hang the editor of the News." There was a disposition to act upon the suggestion, but White, the editor, defied them to do it. Sheriff Hixon and his deputies quelled tbe disturbance and the excited people were dispersed. Tbe editor of the News walked dowa Oklahoma avenue between two officers at 2 o'clock this morning seemingly secure. A company to patrol the citv organized and is under the leadership of good men. Groups of negroes stand on every corner and manifest an intention to take the city if necessary. Reeves Bros.' place on Second is the rendezvous of the commit tee and the place is crowded with fathers and husbands, republicans and demo crats alike, who take the stand that ne gro reign is at an end in Oklahoma. The city is alive with armed men ready to fight to the death if needs be. E. P. McCabe, tbe negro ex-auditor of Kansas, is held responsible for the crime being committed and violence is feared. He cannot be found. Whistles are blow ing, shouts and veils resound from every quarter of the city. This city of 10,000 people is a pandemonium of noise and no one can sleep. The yell of a mob is momentarily expected and nothing on earth seems able to save the brutal rav- tsher's life. Capt. Cooper, one of Payne's original Oklahoma boomers, reached here at 11 o'clock with seventeen men. They are determined that nothing short of hang ing will satisfy them. At 2 o'clock this morning a large number of men paraded the streets. The negroes are congregated on all the corners and it is feared trou ble will occur at the iail. Another mob is assembled at tbe jail, but the sheriff and police are vigilant. Outhrie. O. T.. lune 14. Cotnoara- tiye quiet reigns this morning. The dis- ornament ot tbe boisterous negroes and whites had much to do with calming the ' excited people and no more trouble is anticipated. Hio Holly, tbe negro who , , assaulted the woman Saturday night, . has been removed to the Wichita jail. THE WOMEN FAINTED. Meveral Lives Loat In Collision. m Railway London, June 14.
