WASHINGTON, June 25th.-'Harrison will be |
the next President of the United States That |
is the universal verdict OF all the Republicans |
in Washington. He can carry the Pacific |
slope" says representative men of that section
He can carry the country say the Republi-
cans of that State. HE can carry Indiana be
You'd doubt admits everyone. There was a
very general feeling here to-day that Chicago
would select q man to head the ticket before
adjournment tonight. This feeling was so gen.
eral that the House had an unusual number of
members present. When the Speakers gavel
fell there was an effort to do some business but
from the time the first bulletin from Chicago
reached Washington till The announce
nent was flashed over the wires, Har
rison has been nominated the House
held scarcely a corporals guard, but about
the culletin-boards the crush and jam
was simply terrific. The glad tidings reached
the press gallery first, and the shout that greeted
it was the first announcement the haltasleep
members had that the Convention had united
on a man. Half minute later and the men,
bers were pouring in at every door. They came
from every direction.
Congressman Lodge OF Massachusetts, a little
in advance of the rest, stepped into the space
Immediately in front ofthe Speakers desk and
holding aloft telegram, asked unanimous con
sent to have it read. The news had meantime
gone all over the House from mouth to mouth.
Desks were raised, and out came the Republican
standard of the coming campaign, a fitting
emblem too, for II was the stars and stripes
across the face of which was emblazoned the
words: Protection to American Industries"
Greer being finally restored, the Clerk read
the simple announcement, dated at Chicago,
saying
Harrison hssiDeen nominated
THE SCENE THAT FOLLOWED
Is well-nigh iudescribable. As one man, the
entire Republican side Of the House arose,
waved their flags their hats, the newspapers.
and their handkerchiefs, and gave three such
cheers as has seldom echoed and re-echoed in
that hall; Some one shouted, Indiana is
sure" and started fresh hurrah, which lasted
until every Republican was out of breath.
While this was going on,
THE DEMOCRATS KEPT SILENT
And looked glum until towards the end, when
one or two old-fashioned yels were heard Ten
minutes later the House was again deserted,
but the corridors ana lobbieS were rot. IN al
most every window were gathered Congressman
discussing the nomination and the strength
that it could develop in different States.
THE VERDICT AMONG REPUBLICANS
Is one of universal praise, while the Democrats
could only bring against him the WORKOUT ac-
cusation of his pro-Chinese attitude years ago.
on THE SENATE SIDE.
Mr. Sherman was very nervous. Every few
moments he would receive private dispatch,
and while the second ballot OF today-the s-y-
epta of the Seriys-gas under way Mr.
gram. lie glanced over 1t, and his nervous
ness visibly increased, for when he undertook
to sign the messengers blank his hand shook so
that he could scarcely write. Your correspond
ent was informed by Republican Senator that
if General Harrison failed to be nominated on
| the next ballot New York's y votes would be
thrown to Sherman. This elated Mr. sherman
very much. He hurried nervously from one
Senator to another, and his face showed that
brighter hope was inspiring him.
Senator Allison was as sefpoSsessed as usual
He laughed and talked with other Senators and
seemed as unconcerned as though he had moth
| ing at stake in the Convention. He, too, re-
celved quite number of private kilograms.
Senator Sherman frequently consulted Senator

WASHINGTON, June 25th.-Mess1s. Mitchell
and Dolph. the two Senators from Oregon. are
probably the best AUTHORITY on General HaTri-
sons Chinese record to be found in Washington.
Senator Mitchell said: THE nomination of
General Harrison is to my mind the possible
| solution of the problem presented to the Con-
vention. am pleased beyond measure, and l
| know the people of the Pacific Slope will be.
| The fact that California wheeled sOlidly into
| line and was followed by Oregon for Harrison
is prima facie evidence that the charges against
| him on the Chinese question were not only sat
| lStact irily explained, but dsprOvcd. They
hOulQ never nave NOLtu IOr MIN nad tleN
not been convinced that Harrison's Chinese
| record was not perfectly acceptable remember
! very well to have talked 10 General Harrison at
| the time he voted on the two anti Chinese
measures, and he stated then that both of his
votes were against the propositions because they
were in direct conflict with existing treaties
and would never stand the test they would be
subject to IN the Courts. one of the bills was
vetoed by President Arthur upon the ground
taken by Senator Harrison There is no ques
| ton in my mind but that Harrison viii make
| ma F11iti hot ,l1
| de will carry the Pacific slope and Indiana"
Senator Dolph said IF Harrison carries Indi-
| ana, a. he undoubtedly win, he will be our next
PRESIDENT. lie Is strong, clean, and will make
as good President rs the country has ever had.
| As 10 his Chinese record. know nothing in it
| that will be Objectionable to the Pacific slope
ant IN oregon now as II once was.
| IL has been settled, for the present
at last, in a way that pieases the people there
Harrison may have voted against one or two
| anti-Chinese measures, but / know that he has
| satisfactorily explained why he did SO, and
may add that there are as good men as ever
occupied position in public who have not at
| all times looked at the Chinese question as we
on the Pacific slope"
Mr.. Morrow. Of California, said 1t
| is magnificent nomination. Har-
| rison is man whose military record
| will carry the soldiers vote with him As to
his Chinese record, he has voted with US on
everything subsequent to the ratification Of the
| treaty. lhave made an examination. and l am
| satisfied that he can carry the Pacific slope on
! the Chin Sc question"
Mr.. Mckenna of California said al honestly
| think he is the strongest candidate we could
| have nominated. He has an absolutely clear
record every where. The California delegates
| are representative men. They were satisfied
with his Chinese record and that would indi-
cate their belief that he could carry the coast
| and in this belief heartily coincide. In fact
l have not the Sigh est doubt on the subject"
\ DEMOCRATIC sENA OR
Attempted to twit Senator Edmunds on the

| carry Indiana. Senator Edmunds shrugged his
shoulders significantly, and responded with
earnestness: - Don't you believe that for mo-
ment. Harrison will carry indiana as sure as
fate. and he vii! be elected
Senator Allison was busily engaged with n
meeting of the Committee on appropriations
He paused long enough to say ." Harrison is a
good and strong nomination He will make a
vigorous and successful campaign. The second
place on the ticket is also flied by an admirable
man.
Genera! Brown of Indiana said THE nom
ination of Harrison VIII be received with enthu
siasm III Indiana, and we will have a repetition
Of the campaign OF l>4D. He is known TO be a
clean man in his public ard private life
There is
No FLAW IN HIS AR8oE
intellectually he is the peer of any man in the
nation. With Porter for Governor. Republican
success in the State is assured. ! have taxed
since the nomination, with all the Republican
representatives now here, and all express the
opinion that his nomination was a happy solu-
ton of the Presidential question"
General Hovey, of Indiana said: General
Harrison has been squarely placed on the sol
dieTs platform adopted by the Chicago Conven-
ton. With the soldiers vote he can't fail to
sweep the State i'll the coming election. With
the Republican party the eX-soldier has every
rights, while from solid South and Cleveland
and his vetoeS no one who helped save his coun-
try IN the late rebellion can reasonably expect
the shadow Of iuStice.'
