Cleveland presents the issue of high
tariff against low tariff, high taxes
against low taxes, protection for protec-
tion's sake against reducing the tariff
to.a revenue basis,
IMPERIALISM AGAINST DEMOCRACY,
and upon the issue thus joined there
can be no doubt as to the popular YER
dict. Harrison'S nomination is looked
upon here as equivalent to an abandon
ment of the Pacific slope by the Repub-
licans and a concentration of the fight
in New York and Indiana. Senator
Langdon stuck Loyalty to his friend
Alger until the last gun was fired. The
other thirteen Minnesota delegates
wheeled into the Harrison line at the
nod of the bosses.
Take this description of Harrison pub
iished in the Tribune and see what kind
OF being he might appear to those who
were credulous with their newspapers:
Harrison, unpopular at home, disliked
abroad; not supported by any German news
paper or recognized by any German leader in
the Uuited States; not numbering among his
close friends one man who ever served with
MIN In the senate of the United States; hated
in California because he voted fourteen times
against the restriction of Chinese immigra-
ton; oppose in his own state because he is
cold and distant in his manners and identi-
fed with every public act that has ever been
adopted which could wound the sensibilities
OF voters not numbered among his own
particular clique in the Republican party;
having strong support among politicians but
little among the rank and file of the party;
never elected to any Office save that of the
reporter of the supreme court by the popular
vote. and it is not probable that he ever will
be; the residuary legatee of the president OF
the New York Central railroad.

When His Second Cablegram
Put an End to Scheming.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Chairman Cooper,
of the Pennsylvania state committee,
who has all during the convention op-
posed Senator Quay in his efforts
to nominate Senator Sherman, to-
night gave some interesting inside
views of the Blaine movements last
night and to-day. Chairman Cooper
says that last night the Blaine men had
assurances of 600 votes in the conven-
ton, and plan to nominate Mr. Blaine
to-day was fully arranged. At that time
the managers of the Blaine movement
had received the first of the cablegrams
which were read in tine convention to-
day. 1t was then decided to nominate
Blaine, Notwithstanding this dispatch.
This morning another conference was
held and it was definitely decided to
force the nomination of Blaine on the
fourth ballot to-day. This agreement
was reached upon Senator CoOper's own
motion. 1t was also agreed that if this
plan succeeded, of which the managers
had not doubt, to have the convention
adjourn and await reply from Blaine.
But before the convention met the sec
ond dispatch from Blaine was received,
and the scheme was abandoned. 1t was
agreed to throw the Blaine vote to Rar-
rison, which was done, and resulted in
HarriSOn'S nomination.

"A Scene in the House Over the
Nomination.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The house
was considering the Strong bill when
the news of the nomination of Harrison
was received. Possibly three dozen
members made pretense of attending
to business, but almost a quorum was
gathered about the bulletin board in the
lobby. AS the last bulletin was re-
celved the members fiocked into the
hall and stood on their desks, while
Lodge, OF Massachusetts, asked the clerk
to read the telegram. AS the officer

their appearance in answer to the

many minutes the chairman pounded
his desk and endeavored to secure
order. Quiet would be partially re-
stored. when Anderson, of Kansas, who
sits directly i'll front of the speaker,
would leap to his feet with a cheer, and
the house would follow him with an
other outburst of applause. Finally
the house got back to business, and the
Republicans in pairs and small groups
gathered again in the lobbies to talk

to Defeat Gresham.
Thursdays Chicago Tribune.
Gouldism, while weak at the polls, is
potential in the influences it can bring
to bear on conventions through it's
agents and attorneys.
Ii Gresham can be nominated and
brought before the people his success is
certain. If his defeat is accomplished it
must be in the convention. When jay
Gould declared to friend who leaked
the secret that he would spend million
dollars to defeat Gresham he expected,
of course, to beat him for the nomina-
ton, and not for the election after he
was once brought before the people.
All Gould'S fortune could not defeat
Gresham If he is once put at the head
of the ticket.
The agents and attorneys of Gouldism
have shown great skill in doing the
work of the Wizard of Wall street."
but they still have tough problem on
hand. They have encouraged candi-
dates to spring up in every quarter in
quietly fOstered the trouble in Indiana
and encouraged the Indiana delegation
to stick to Harrison till Gresham is
beaten. They are holding the Blaine
boom in reserve. They have labored to
sap Gresham's strength in every possi-
BILE way, but they still have before them
the problem of how to defeat Gresham
and yet secure candidate who can be
elected. While secretly doing the work
of the Wizard of Wall street the Gould
agents and attorneys realize their per-
sOnal responsibility as delegates and
managers to the Republican constitu-
encies behind them. If by defeating
Gresham they make another Repub-
lican success impossible and cause an
other defeat how shall they escape the
wrath of betrayed party? Hence,
while laboring to defeat the candidate
cOnfessedly. strongest at the polls they
are seeking anxiously for some one in
his place who can win. If they name a
candidate who wins in November the
secrect conspiracy in the convention
against the peoples fayorite may be
| overlooked. If the battle is won with
another candidate the Gouldites may
say that Gresham could have none no
more. But what if they defeat Gresham
for the nomination, and then fail at the
polls? This is the reflection that gives
trouble to the agents of GOuldiSm. In
serving their Wall street master and his
syndicate let them bring about another
Republican defeat if they dare. 1t is
tough problem how to defeat Gresham
and still secure a winning candidate.
Who will solve it?

CHICAGO, June 25.-A corporation
candidate on protection platform.
Such in brief and in full are the results.
AS heretofore indicated in these dis
patches, the Blaine-Depew-Harri
combination has all the time had grip
on the convention. When Depew with
drew his name the old combination
managed to prolong the struggle until
Blaine could be definitely and authori-
tatively heard from. His cablegram was
read this morning, and then the nomi-
nation of Harrison was all that was left
for the convention to do. The corpora
ton whip was lashed out over the body
and the mandate of the bosses was
obeyed. A nomination never fell so
fiat on great body. When the an
nouncement of the vote was made about
two-thirds of the delegates rose to their
feet and gave weak cheer. A few
hats we're whirled in the air and a few
flags were waved, but the galleries

tice. The only evidence of a popular
demonstration was when Boutelle, of
Maine. rose to second the nomination
and mentioned the name of Blaine. The
delegates will go home feeling that the
only battle cry they can rally under in
the campaign will be
DOODLE AND PROTECTION.
Such war cry may suit Pennsylvania
and the New England states, but it will
not find response among the dwellers
of our Western prairies. The men who
till the soil and work in the shops take
no stock in the blue-blooded lineage of
the candidate nominated here to-day
and who stands as the representative
Of corporate power and Standard oil
trusts. Gresham, the man of the people
and the defender of honest labor, was
crushed by the iron heel of the monopoly
power. And it was. done through the
instrumentality of Harrison, the tool of
the monopolists. The issue now made
between the parties is unmistakable and

VERY HOPEFUL.
The Democrats of Winona Believe
Minnesota Is Theirs.

Speclai 10 the GlODe.
WINONA, June 25.-The nomination of
Harrison is received here with big lot
of disappointment. The Democrats
view the situation with complacency,
and declare that the ticket will be an
easy one to defeat. A number of bets
were made upon the streets. A
prominent Republican, who offered
to bet on Harrison carrying
his own state, was Immediately
taken up on a s25 wager by confident
Democrat. The feeling among the
Democrats is that Harrison cannot carry
Pacific coast state with his prO-Chi-
nese record; that the factional fight in
his own state will make his chances of
victory there very slim, and that New
York will certainly go for Cleveland.
There were few Democrats who even
declared that Minnesota would be found
in the Democratic columns this fall,
and that the nomination of Harrison
had fastened the tide that had been
rising for the past four years, and which
was bound to carry the Democratic
party of Minnesota into power at the
next election.

Gen. Porter Says Indiana Is Not
Quite Won Over Though Harri-
son Is Nominated.

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO. June 25.-Ex-Gov. Porter,
of Indiana, was seen this evening at the
Grand Pacific hotel by a reporter, and
asked for his opinion of the nomi-
nation of Senator Harrison. Judge
Porter said it was great combination
for Indinana, for the party and for
the country. He said that there was
no local opposition to Senator Harrison
which in month would be heard of.
Some of the friends of Judge Gresham
might feel disappointed. but Harrison
was the choice of the state, and Judge
Gresham's friends will support Gen.
Harrison heartily when the first feeling
of disappointment has died out. He
said that HarriSOn'S nomination would
make
ONE OF THE Widest
and most enthusiastic campaigns that
had ever been seen in the state. He
would not say that Indiana was an alb
solutely sure Republican state, but that
HarriSOn'S nomination makes it more
surely so than than the nomination of
any other man. Speaking of the
nese question, Judge Porter said that
the best evidence that Gen. Harrison's
record was acceptable to the coast was
shown by the fact that he was supported
and voted for from the start to-day, after
Blaine had dropped out, and his record
had been thoroughly discussed and was
fully understood. The California dele
CATION had given assurances that Har-
riSOn would carry every Pacific state,
and he (Porter) had not the slightest
doubt of his election.
