Committee Wears Contests Before Credentials Committee
The Republican credentials committee met amid fights over seating in contested state delegations. Edward Duffield of New Jersey was elected chair, with H.

Meanwhile in Red Wing Minnesota, 150 female students escaped a fire that destroyed the Lutheran Ladies Seminary during commencement week.
