placing Blaine iu nomination, deliver
ed a gem. Blaine's name was cheered
one minute and twenty seconds when
mentioned by the eloquent speaker.
"I nominate to this Convention for
President of the United States, the
wi-e statesman, Ben Harrison," says
the veteran Thompson. This was
followed by wild cheers, of two min
utes duration.
Mr. Depew lauded Harrison's ad
ministration. When Michigan is called some one
yells, "What's the matter with Alger?"
Fred Douglas used his cane as a
pole and raised his hat on high, cheer
ing for Harrison.
Minneapolis, June 10. Special, j
10:56 The Blaine managers are in
session. They claim their combina
tion o effective that they will defeat
Harrison, while Harrison men are
confident that he .will be nomi
nated to-day. It is said that
the fight on the contested dele
gates will ba continued to-night, but
it is thought it may be reached to-day.
An important surprise is predicted
and the intimation is that a combina
tion will be effected on McKinley.

Idaho and some other far western
states will turn to Harrison if they
should drop Blaine.
12:03 -It is reliably stated that
Blaine's name will not be formally
presented his supporters. They, how
ever, will vote lor him in order to

necessary to turn to some compromise

that Harrison or McKinley will be
nominated to-day with indications in
favor of Harrison.
12:08 Mrs. Helen Foster of the
W. C. T, U., is now addreseiDg the
convention which is paying great at
tention to and applauding ber lib

PRESIDENT
Benjamin Harrison was raised on a
farm. He graduated at Oxford, O.
At 18 he graduated, immedia ely took
up the ftudy of law in the office of
Judge Bellamy Storer, of Cincinnati,

ual application that he was admitted
to the bar before he had reached h:s
majority. Not only that, hut he hid
matried as well, and his 2Ut birthday
found himself a man of family um!
pract:cally without resources, having
only 8200 or 8300 advanced him by
his father.
When the war broke out he was
still a poor ruau with a wife and two
chidren to support. In 1860 he wat
elected reporter of the supreme court
but in 1862 be lelt that comfoi table
berth to take service in the
field. He raited a company nl w
toon promoted to be colonel oftba
regiment wlr?h was eventually assigu
d to Wood's brigade of the 20th army
corps. He took part in the various
campaigns of 1862 and 1863 in the
middle district but saw no very ex

and came north to stump the state for

command afterward and serviug till

Returning to Indianapolis, he soon

IN THE SENATE.
In 1876 the central committee

absence from the state, Godiove Orth
the nominee of the convention, having
withdrawn. The outlook was a most
unfavorable onet but Gen. Harrison
accepted the responsibility and made
a vigorous campaign. That was the
year of Tilden and Hendricks, and of
course Harrison was beati-n. This
campaigu greatly extended his ac
quaintmce and reputation among the
people, and he was now recognized as
a leader.
In the convention of 18S0 his name
was mentioned ior President, but
without especial prominence. In the
same year he was elected to the Uni
ted States senate, where he served two
terms with no especial distinction. He
is a fairly efiective speaker, but not
an orator, ibe only eenius which
bis friends claim for him is the genius
of application, of mastering things.
His history from the time ot his
nomination in 1888 until now is well
known.

-. Londo.v, June 11. The burden of
comment of all the evening papers on
the renomi nation of the president and
the selection of Whitelaw Reid as the
candidate for vice president is joy over
the defeat of Mr. Blaine.
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Even
those least in sympathy with Mr.
Blaise as politicians may spare a pass
ing regret at the cruel disappointment
of the man who is the ablest Republi
can and most astute politician in the
United States.
The Globe says: "For once the Ameri
can caucus was of real interest to out
siders, especially in England. In view
of the dissension in the Democatic
party the nominee of yesterday stands
a good chance of being the next presi
dent. It was a happy thing that the
caucus decided overwhelmingly against
the great wire puller whose entire
career has been marred with attempts
to make party capital out of" foreign
politick."
The Star publishes a most violent
attack on Mr. IShtine because of his
protection principles, and sums up its
estimate of President Harrison's qualifi
cations by declaring that he is "a quiet,
unassuming old gentleman of great
personal integrity, but without irreat
ability." It then predicts the nomina
tion of Mr. Cleveland by the Democrats
and concludes by saying: "The sym

and the Democrats 50,000. The
opposition majority is 27,000 and the
enthusiasm so far as the national
ticket is concerned is all with the anti
administration forces. The Republican
leaders accept the result and are try
ing to make the best of it.
James Smith, private secretary to
the governor, said: "Harrison carried
Kansas four years ago by a plurality
of 80,000. I don't believe there are
40,000 voters in this state who sup-

William Higgins, secretary of state,
said: "1 believed that Blaine's nomin

The "Globe-Democrat" ou Held.
St. Louis-June tl. Of the vice-Presidential
nomination by the Republican
national convention the Ulobe-Uemo-crat
said this morning:
"The nomination of Whitelaw Reid
for vice president is a blunder of a pe
culiarly serious and senseless kincL
It is a concession to the Maine faction,
of the party which ought not to have
been made under any circumstances.
The antagonism of the laborclcment to
Mr. Reid is pronounced and bitter, and
ought to have been taken into consid
eration by the delegates. There are
many Itlaine men who would hare
been unobjectionable from any point
of view. Some of them would have
strengthened the ticket very materi
ally. Mr. Reid decidedly and emphat
ically weakens the ticket."
At Harrison's Old Home.
IxoiAXArous, InL, June 11. From-
.1 . : . l l . r
neapolis until the news of Harrison's
renomination was received great
crowds were to be seen about a dozen,
different places where bulletins
were displayed. The interest was
Intense, but not as responsive as
it was four years ago when
votes in favor of Harrison were shown.
A great deal of anxiety was felt until
the vote of Texas was announced, and
then, after considerable cheering the
crowds disncrsed. Amonir the tier
sonal friends of Mr. Damson there
was a great deal of congratulation.
Rapid Service of the Associated Presa.
Minneapolis, June' 1 1. The Assoc!-
ated press made a commendable record
during the convention just closed, and
its bulletin service has probably never
been excelled. The bulletin announc
ing the nomination was received and
posted at all telegraph points in
America within live minutes, at most
of them within two minutes. The Pa
cific coast knew the result within two
minutes after it had been determined.
New York within sixty seconds, and.
London in one minute and a half.
A snnrouatre Will Contested.
Sax Axtoxio, Tex., June 11. A suit"
has been filed in the United States cir
cuit court here contesting the will
of the late John Twohig of this
city, who died recently leaving
money and property amounting
to over 51,000.000 in value. He
bequeathed $2,000 a" year to his sister.
Miss Kate Twohig and SS0 to James
Twohig, his brother in Ireland, the
remainder being left to Bishop J. CL
Neraz of this city, who was instructed,
to hold it in trust for tbe Roman Cath

A Small-Fox Epidemic Threatened.
SrnixoFiELD. 111., June 11. The
threatened epidemic of small-pox has
callcd forth from Dr. F. W. Eeilly, sec
retary of the state board of health, av
proclam..don enjoining upon all mu
nicipal authorities and local boards of
health the urgent necessity of steps to

help in having the ideas it contains
carried out.
Martial Law Likely ln Tfyomtng.
Douglas, Wya, June 11. Six troops

400 men, arrived here yesterday and
went into camp temporarily ten miles
west of here, near old Fort Fetterajan.
The troops have a thirty days supply
