Copright ; 1888 I Ey tilt Ni ir-Tori: Tribune.
London, June 16.?English comment* on the
Chicago Convention aro conceived in h spirit of
bitter dislike to Mr. Bto'iie, nnd of bitter resent?
ment against the party which Bl npnannd to giving
British munufneturers a monopoly of Aincrican
niarket.s. " The Times" builds up a whole article
on the assertion that Mr. Blaine ia no friend to
England, clutches at cfery calumny against him,
accept* the idlest rumors as facts and rejoices over
?what it calls his defeat. If such an article had
apiiearcd in an American journal about Mr. Clad
stone, the Gladstonian press in England' might
well have quoted it as an example of malevolent
Ignorance. " The Daily New.*.," seldom intelligent
about American affairs, accepts with easy indif?
ference the accounts sent by its New-York corre?
spondent, wh.? dates alternately from New-York
and Chicago. When Mr. Blain* bluntly described
this gentleman's dispatches as " marvels of men?
dacity and malice'' he had not seen them nil.
Let. mc give you a sample pf what passes here for
American news. You will alien be able to gauge
the value of English opinion formed on such
testimony. You may also be interested to rand
by the dry light of actual knowledge sum'- of thc
statements which this correspondent thinks no tax
on English credulity. He telegraphed on Sunday :
? Harrison has been beaten by the Main" influence.
The Blaine managers then attempted a coup d'etat.
This was defeated because Harrison and others
were incensed with the obvious trickery of Blaine
and refused to acquiesce in the plot. The Blaine
managers became alarmed, and were afraid to
persevere. The whole country," continues this ve?
racious chronicler," is laughing at the spectacle the
convention present**., especially at the tricky part
played by Mr. Blaine. The general comment is
that he has brought, not only himself, but the
l*arty into contempt- Whatever action the con?
vention takes makes little difference now. Cleve?
land's success is more certain than ever."
Monday's dispatch ignores these unlucky pre?
dictions, but repeats some of the libellous innuen?
does which this patriotic American supplies to thc
English market Mr. Blaine's telegrams reiterating
his refusals to be a candidate were, it seems,
laughed at. Many things are laughed at, though
on which side of the laugher's face is not always
clear. When Mr. Godkin tot-tan In the editorial
i-nnctuiu of " The Evening Post" his subaltern
cullies to London that the Continent is convulsed.
" General Harrison," he explains, " was nominated
because Mr. Blaine's nomination otherwise titan by
acclamation would have been a suicidal blunder.
General Harrison is a man of mediocre ability, but
the choice of him in preference to Mr. Blaine is a
great gain for decent politics, and will enable tim
liepublicans to present the protection side of the
tariff issue respectably and give the country an
orderly campaign. Yet the prolonged wrangle of
the convention has brought the Republican party
Into general ridicule."
This interesting narrative finds its support in
other dispatches. None of them, indeed, are
friendly to Mr. Blaine, but their authors at Ir.ist
try to stat* facts. It is, on the whole, astonish?
ing to find how much wiser some Englishmen aro
about American affairs than Americans themselves
are. There is a Radical journalist who informs
his readers that Harrison has as much chance of
becoming President, as becoming King of Prussia.
The Provincial press is mostly silent. So is the
Tory priss in London. Almost all the kicks come
from our candid friends. Mr. Morton's nomination
for Vice-president gratifies many pcatoaa] friends
in England and France. He is pnrhnaa nattai
liked in France by the French Republicans
lhan any living American. No American Minister
lo France of recent days has mule more reputation
or done better service in that dillicult position.
The Emperor's speech to thc Reichstag has made
a marked and very favorable impression. It
would not be a very rash guess that the hand
which held the pen when this document was
composed was the hand of Prince Bismarck.
Pertain it is, that everv idea in the MMnga
ls an idea which Prince Bismark has, for twenty
pears, done his best to enforce on Europe. Peace
|s the refrain of the whole speech, but ix.-ace main?
tained by arms, renee while Germany wishes
peace, till Germany is in greater danger from peace
than war. Peace, till she has become too strong
to be attacked. England, like the rest of Europe,
is looking on Prince Bismarck as the Chief Con?
stable of the Continent. The English press so
hails him to-day, and hails thc Emncror as a ruler
ready to leave Prince Bismarck a free hand.
Mr. Stanley's fate was discussed yesterday by
the Roynl Geogt?pl-cal Society. Sir Frannil
De Winton, whom the president described as In
a position to sjieak more authoritatively than any
other mau. onOe more declared his belief that
Mr. Stanley is nil right. Probably, said Sir
Francis, Mr. Stanley had met with some resistance
November last. No doubt tisfl while- Pm kn
who had been seen by thc natives lighting hts
way through thc country was Mj. Stanley.
Mr. Frederick Villiers, the well-known war
correspondent, writes to say lhat he is convinced
that Mr. Stanley intended to advance on Khar?
toum from Pahr GazcL He. too, l.clievts he is
the white Pucha, a name likely to stick.
Lord Coleridge's long-pruiniscd letter in
behalf of thc Arnold Memorial has at
last appeared. He tells us that Mr.
Smith's refusal to continue thc* pension to Mrs.
Arnold is bused chiefly, though not exclusively,
on the want of precedent. It would be interest in?
to know what else it is based on. England is cer?
tainly the only country in the world where such
an excuse would have been held good; where, in?
ti cid, was there a precedent for Mr. Arnold him?
self. What the committee have determined on is
to solicit funds, first, for a inedalln ii on the bust
in Westminster Abbey; second, to make adequ;ite
provision for Mrs. Arnold and her unmarried
daughter; third, to found at Oxford an Arnold
Scholarship.
The Wood libel case continues to be the chief
entertainment of the town. The theatres are half
empty, but Lord Coleridge's court is crowded.
More reputations than Mr. Wood's are now seen
to be at stak -. Hardly a willies*, l-riv.*, the stand ]
without having damaged either him.v-lf or some.
other important personage. Perhaps never before I
has so much daylight been let in upon racing ns
now pructised. ? One more such tri.u," said a man
well known on the turf an 1 els. where, - and tlie
turf must be left to those who disgrace it." The
defence have succeeded, perhaps, in damaging Mr.
Wood, but hardly anybody escapes without a
touch from the brush with which he is tarred.

and that they approved lt. Nothing thal had hapji'BMNl
to Individuals under the plan could compare willi :he
sufferings of tenants without the plan. What had
happened to tenants that could compare willi the
action of Irish landlords lu fllncing tens of thousands

their constituents all of thee nineteen would bo re?

STORY OF TIIE NOMINATION
HARRISON CHOSEN BY ULA INK'S FRIENDS.

THAT il Iii lt (JUT ABOUT Tl!!; ll N Al. Kt.Sb'I.T.
.iTI.I.Ki;HlI-llI01!li: TKIUUKS.)
Chicago, .Tutu- iii.?The storr ot the nomin.i
tion of General Harrison is an interesting one.
The following may b ? relied unon as ari accurate
statement of tile influences that, brought it about
and the cireumstiinees attending it:
" Tlie general belief in Sherman's great strength
on Sunday,? said one of th" most conspicuous
Maine men in the Convention today, who did
not want, to have his name used, " nnd th
nrnl expectation of his nomination were justitied
by the situation us it appeared on the surface.
The talk on Sunday was wry strung for Sherman.
The caucus af Mr. Maine's friend.-, wiii. li met on
bunna* night embraced one or two well-known
friends of his from almost every State. Mottoes
for this nieeting lind bi-n - i.t out on Saturday
because of the taddeo mil I in*iml ta?I afternoon
to briag Mr. maine's bbum before the ('.inventlon,
which, if it had not been shut off by thc ad?
journment, would undoubtedly have resulted in
lii.s nomination. It was necessary to decide what
Mr. Maine's friends should do. Rut lat caucus
was especially timely in view of the threatening
strength of Sherman, though it was not nailed
with reference to it. The central point of tbrs
strength was the determination of the New-York
delegates to vote for Sherman after giving Har
risen a fair chane,-. With the Ohio strength and
th" iVnii-.vlvania str:-n_Th this movement made
Sherman's nomination immin- ttl
" It was in this situation that Mendf nf Mr.
Maine met* The caucus organised bp mieeting
Creed Haymond. chairman ol' ihe California del?
egation, ns chairman. Tin- roll of St?tai WM
called. Among those present, were Creed Hay?
mond and M. II. de Young, of California; Powell
Clayton and Logan II. Roots, of _rknnsMi Messrs.
Ewaroona, of Alabama: Hamil, of Colorado: !_?*_??
den, of Connecticut ; Leland. of Kansas;
Wu rm ot h and Harper, nf Louisiana j Boutelle,
mid Leslie, of Maine; Adam King,
Of Maryland; Gavel, of Michigan: R C. Kerens, of
Missouri; Dr. F. L. Burden and Mr. Love, of
Massachusetts; Colonel Conger, member of the
National Committee from Ohio; Charles E. Smith,
of Pennsylvania; General QanEgB Morley, of Ten?
nessee ; John S. Wisc, nf Virginia: and J. W.
Mason, of West Virginia. It was generally re?
ported that B combination had been formed be?
tween the Sherman and Alger forces. It was also
the expectation of the Sherman people that they
would get a portion If not nil of the Allison votes,
so that bets wi re freely Bade on Sunday that
Sherman would be thc nominee.
ACTION OF TIIK CATJCUB,
Tho representatives of _M rariottfl Statis re
ported how many votes could BB brough! tu Maine
when the word was pawed :ilmir-r. and how many
iipnii the following ballot. Many, of course, were
under such obUgations to other candidates that
they could not give their votes upon the lirst bal?
lot, but could come in on the next. This OBBTttm
Indicated that there was a large majority ai tin
Convention who were not only favorable to Blaine.
but really wanted his nomination. It is a fact
that this strength Bppvottebed BOO reina, A con
ilderable proportion of it would, in any event,
have been held in reserve. It could not be given
nt thc Outset, but. the canvass further showed that
whenever the movement should be nude Bearii ?
majority of the Convention would go that way on
the lirst ballot. Meanwhile, during the late 1.nu rs of
the afternoon, Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Mauhy had
receive! the lirst of the two dispatches from Blain ?
requesting his friends to rcs[>ect his I'.iris letter.
The dispatch was marked ' private,' and ' BBB
wisely.' Mr. Boutelle went into the
caucus, and' without alluding to the dispatch
riini speaking i'm the Maine delegntdon and In
their name, earnestly tUQUasUd all the Mends of
Mr. Blaine to refrain (pom voting for him. Ile
suggested that the vote subject should be referred
tn a oommittee, ..f which the chairman of the cau?
cus, Mr. lla.viniitid, slmuld be chairman. There
wire many persons who were unwilling to refrain
fmm \oling for Mr. Maine, but they aciinicsc-d In
the suggestion that a committee ihould be appoint?
ed, and that, no movement for Blaine should bc
made except, upon the report, and practically upon
the sunnnona, of that committee. As a matter of
fact, the committee became a steering committee.
lt waa composed of Creed Raymond, Charles Emory
Smith, -eneral George Morley, Dr. F. L. Burden,
General A. L. Conger, powell Clayton and Samuel
r'i ssiiulen. S. B. Elkins and li. C. Kerens, to?
gether with Me-si-s. Botttelkl and Manley and
other representative friends of Mr. Blaine, warn
in constant consultation with the committee. This
committee ,vas mt made up in accordance with any
plan, but it. fitted into tin- situation no as t-i bring
in information regarding the movements of ilmost
all tin- candidates. Creed Haymond rep* nutted the
extreme wing. Charles Emory Smith was in favor
ot Harrison next to Blaine, and tonk part in the
work of this committee with the full knowledge
and approval of the Harrison nn.n, who were,
like the friends of all the candidates, glad to sec
the Blaine nun i mont in charge of cniiservative
men. Burden was for alger; so was C)a.\ton.
Fernande- was lox Allison. Conger n-j resented
the Ohio element. In this way the committee
was able to pet, and with entire propn-ty, a
complete knowledge of all phases of the situation.

" Upon the adjournm -nt of the caucus the c>m
mittee went immediately to work. They had BOtBC

also in communication with the liicnds of Harri?
son. In view of the threatening reports ot tin
alliance between Sherman and Al^i r it WM dat nv d
Important to have a clear understanding of the
position of Alger's friends, and the committee
at two o'clock on the morning of Monday had a
conference with Mr. Duffield, Alger, political
representative, and Mr. Backer, his luis ness part

Conger, Smith and Kerens. 'Hu; committee very
frankly stated to Mr. Dutfield nnd Mr. Reeker
what had taken place at the caucus, and as frankly
informed them of the report of a coalition be?
tween Sherman and Alger. Both stated that, tin
reports, which even went, to tin length of saying
that there was a written oompnet in existents ?, were
absolutely unfounded, an.i couvinoed thc oom?

for Blaine. At Cn- BhMf nf the lirst Lal.ot a hasty
emf. renee was held and the d.-t. rniin.it ion reach.-d
that on the n.-xt butta* California should vate for
Harrison. Klkins had laen for aaajM days talking
with Ult C.ili.'orxia dulegr.Uon with a view io pna.
paring them for this action when the proper limn
nae. If California had voted on this?the second
ballot of the day?for Maine .iguin, New-York
would have abtndoned Harrison on tha third
ballot and would have voted for Sherman.
Iliis would bnvB begun the break to
ftherman, and then there would have been a
break on the other side to Alger, bringing the
.?"lites! between Sherman and Al?er instead of
nt ween Sherman and Harrison. It was the hope
that tins night c..mc about that induced the Alger
hi.pl,- to i and out. The vote of California, how
vcr, started the break to Harrison. Blaine men
(ooh the cue, and Harrison's vote was swelled oa
his ballot, to '_>>. At the end of the roll
?all Iowa withdrew Allison wit'i the determination
t >astiriK her votes lor Harrison, he being really
he second choice of the delegation,
"J. S. Clarhnon was really the m.inager of tho
\llis-.n canvass and tue persona] representative
ii Senator Allison. Before withdrawing Allison.
decided that the movement for Harrison must
'? mr.de absolutely sun-. He (-.inferred with tlie
ilassnchus tts dele-ration, and had assurances of
wentyoflve of their rotas for Harrison. He eon
Vrred also with Othat States and received similar
issu ranees.
" While these conference* were going on. Senator
Juay, who had bean absolutely confident through
mt of Senator ShcimHn's nomination,
vas seen and asked if he would
io: M into the movement for Harrison
md swins rcnnsyivania flint way, but he answered
li.it they ought to stand by Sh'.-iiiian for another
in 11 ot. Here there was b el'-ver manoeuvre. The
rote of Pennsylvania was announced as fifty-seven
or Sherman and three for Harrison. Captain
.Yalu rs challenged it. and the delegation w?S
lolled. " Chr..s.'' B_kgee was anxious to get into
he Harrison movement before Quay. So lt was
irranged that Henry Wr. Oliver, wno was made
le|egate-at-lnrgi* by Ma nee, should vote for Sher
nan. thus giving Quay the impression that Mage's
pUowers .vere going to v. te for Sherman Senatot
}uay*a mon voted roi Wm man, while Mugvo'a
ti-ii. who came toward the cad of the list, voted
m- Harrison, thus In11Ifnsitig his votes from jPentts
?ylvania lmin three, tl announced, to eight,
TIIK NOMINATION A tBCBSt FACT.
? After (.'larkson had satisfied himself that there
would bc strength enough on the next ballot to
nominate Harrison without fail, he withdrew Al**
ison. It was understood that thc vote of Iowa
.von ld bc for Harrison, and this settled the norn*
tiati..n. Tlie renusylvania delegation retired and
he nomination being inevitable. Senator Quay
id vised his friends to fall in and cast the solid
rote of the State for Harrison. The course of
he Illinois d laanttta caused some surprise. If
bey hud gene to Sherman, where their sympatbiee
latui-ally were, in the fight between Harrison and
sin imam it, would have been a strong movement
n thc latt.-r's favor. The fact seernK to be that
senators Farwell ami Cultana wanted to go to
*.h.-rman, but George Ii. Davis refused to join ia
he movement This is ascribed to the fact that
Daria's i-.Mtion in Chicano polities is largely de
icndent upon the favor of The Chicago Tribune,
vliii-h is bitterly opposed to Sherman, so the dele*.
ration remained pnsuive and impotent.
" I think it is i nlv the truth to say that the norn**
nation was thus mad.- by the friends of Blaine,
*till there were many other contributing influ*.
Di s. and chi.-f among them the power of tha
loHd vote of thc Now-York delegation, but while
*. W-York w.isable practically to shape the numma*
inn, it would uni baVS bat n Harrison if lt had
lot been for the deteratBetJoa of tho Blaine men
bat he rhould be the man. and after tin- action
.! lin- California and Iowa delejrotions. The Alger
m u took no part, and the Gresham
nen did not want Harrison, of
trama. The unity of the New-York
lelegation ls hugely due to the honorable courso
t il wis.lom ni Mr. Depew and to the equally
a un st desire of ex Senator Miller. Senator Hia
0C_ and Mr. Piatt that entire unity should be,
.ired and to their practical sagr-city in working
t out. It should be added that some of the
onspieuous friends of Mr. Blame have felt, ever
Ince the publication of his letters, that the nom
