Clinging to the Last.

The virus of rheumatism often remains in the sys-
TEN through life when it does not cut the thread Of
existence suddenly as it is always liable to do by
attacking the heart. Ere the grip of this tenacious
disease tighens it should be unloosed by that bene
fcent Hberator from disease, Hostetter's Stomach
Btters which will free the sufferer at the outset from
subsequent pain and danger. no purer or more
agreeable blood depurent exists, multitudes of the
rheumatic and neuralgia have ascertained by certi-
fed experience. 1t is through the medium of regu-
lar action of the kidneys and bladder that outlet
is afforded for the escape of impurities which beget
not only rheumatism, but equity ailments, and
dropsoal illusions To these organs the Btters gives
an impulse, veTging on the bounds of irrita-
ton but sufficiently vigorous TO cause them and the
bowels to perform their functions with clock like
precision. Use it also for dyspepsia, biliousness
fever and ague and debility.

and with tin horns strobe down
the street. The huge pictures in one
frame of Harrison and CT ham hang
ing in front of the BIZ Four Office
were hastily taken down, and when they
reappeared they were painted red. 1t
would have been more appropriate to have
detached Gresham's picture, but this could
not be done conveniently or without de-
lay, and there was no standing on the order
of things.
Flags and bunting were displayed in
great uantities-little flags, big flags, all
sorts of flags. Small silken flags were
shown from the pocket as a take-off
for the red bandana, which had been so
conspicuous. Horses and vehicles were
covered with flags. Half dozen half
crazy republicans would crowd them
selves into a small carriage and then,
wildly waving flags and footing
horns, would go about the
streets adding to the deafening din. One
of the most picturesque turnouts was
Frank Birds tally-ho loaded down with
republicans all decorated in gorgeous style.

How Harrison Got There.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Chairman Cooper,
of the Pennsylvania state committee, who
has all during the convention opposed
Senator Quay in his efforts to nominate
Senator Sherman, tonight gave some in
teresting inside views Of the Blaine move
ments last night and to-day. Chairman
Cooper says that last night
the Blaine men had assurances
of 600 votes in the convention, and plan
to nominate Blaine to-day was fully ar
ranged. At that time the managers OF
the Blaine movement had received the
first of the cablegrams which were read in
the convention to-day. 1t was then
decided to nominate Blaine not
withstanding this dispatch. This
morning another conference was
held, and it was definitely decided to force
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine on the
fourth ballot to-day. This agreement was
reached upon Senator Cooper's own
motion. It was also agreed that if
this plan succeeded, of which the
managers had not a doubt, to have the
convention adjourn and await a reply from
Blaine But before the convention met
the second dispatch from Blaine was re-
ceived and the scheme was abandoned.
1t was agreed to throw the Blaine vote to
Harrison, which was done and resulted in
Harrison's nomination

VIII swallow il. But

CHICAGO. Ills, June 25.--The Tribune
free trade republican,, tomorrow Will
say concerning the head of the ticket:
1t would be sheer hypocrisy on the part of
the Tribune 10 pretend that il thinks the con-
vention placed in nomination the strongest
candidate before it, for its readers would not
believe such an opinion sincere. The general
belief is that the convention was not influenced
by the question of availability TO any percepti-
bic degree. What has been done is beyond
recall, correction or change. 1t must stand for
this election and there is nothing left for
straight party men who had q different first
choice but to make the best of it by supporting
the nominee. The candidate himself will be
found to possess much to admire He has be-
longed to the republican party since Its organi-
zatiOn. He has been true TO its fundamental
principles. He has voted its ticket and
stumped for it and represented it in the senate
chamber and risked his life on the
battlefield IN defense of its principles. He is a
man of clean character and pious conduct and
correct morals, and intellectually an ADLER man
than his competitor for the next term of the
presidency. The delegated representatives of
the party having selected Gen. Harrison from
all the candidates, the Tribune bows to the
verdict OF the convention and will give such
support to the nominee as his record shall
justify. Farther than this an honest party
journal is not bound to go.

The figures "544" were conspiculously
displayed, some of the men having
it written all over them. They stopped
before the NelCs and the Journal of
ces and serenaded the same, and
then went north to Gen. Harrison's
house on Delaware-st. Large delegations
from Noblesville, Kokomo and Upton,
similarly equipped, came in shortly after
ward and went through about the same
programme.
After nightfall, at the adjournment Of
the court house meeting, the city was
perfect bedlam. The tin-horn was the
chief disturber, and nervous people were
rendered eft subjects for a lunatic asy-
lum, which was once said by Gen. Har-
rison of the greenbackers. A novel pro-
cession passed THE SENTINEL Office at 8
o'clock, consisting of about fifty men and
boys afoot following a man on horseback,
who was wrapt in the stars and stripes.
Their motto seemed TO be where he leads
we will follow" and as he was evidently
enjoying the fun and distinction, and
didn't have to walk, he led them lively
chase.
Some of the most ludicrous scenes were
witnessed in the streets. Even the babies,
who were pushed through the crowds in
troublesome cabs, had been decorated for

LAFAYETTE, June 25.-[Special. l-Har-
rison's nomination has cast deep gloom
over the republicans here and many have
expressed their avowed disapproval
Gresham was a popular favorite with
Blaine. A weak attempt was made here
tonight to enthuse over Morton, but two
tin horns were the only ones heard. Dis
satisfaction is substantial fact
and will make practical showing in No
vember balloting, when the clique will
not control the popular vote. Harrison,
by all his friends, is considered the weak
est man whom the republicans could have
named. His nomination has been received
with tears of political regret in many
places.
A Fisk club was organized here tonight
with fifty members. J. b. Stinespring was
elected president Nine out of ten of the
members are staunch republicans, but
will vote for prohibition next fall

Office on the ticket with Henry s. Lane
and Oliver P. Morton.
The war came on and Mr.. Harrison en-
tered the military service. he was re-elect-
ed TO thereportership in 1864. In 1868 Gen.
Harrison declined second reelection and
returned to the practice of the law bear
ing his full part, however, in all the
political campaigns that interviewed. In
1876 he declined the use OF his name as a
nominee for governor, but Mr.. Orth hav-
ing resigned from the ticket in the midst
OF the campaign, the republican central
committee, in Difference to the universal
demand OF the party, nominated Gen.
Harrison to the vacancy. Being out of
the state, and beyond the reach of the
telegraph, the general knew nothing of the
action until he reached the borders of
Indiana on his return home.
The campaign was very memorable
one. Gen. Harrison, assisted by Gov.
Morton and other eminent republicans,
made thorough canvass of the state.
No effort was spared by the republican
national or state administrations to elect
Mr.. Harrison. Money was poured into
the state from Wall-st. and manufactur-
ingsections; the 'plugugly" and short hair
gentry of Philadelphia were brought by
the car load into the cities of the state;
importations were made from the state
line counties of Illinois and Ohio and not

LEVI P. MORTON.


The Republican Nominee for the Vice
Presidency Named at Chicago.
1t is safe to say that had it not been for
Mr.. Morton's barrel the chances are that
he would never have been thought of in
connection with the presidency. He
is a man of mediocre ability, with no spe-
cial amount OF influence in any direction,
and no political record of Importance He
was elected to congress from the aristo-
cratic Fifth-ave. Murray Hill district of
New York, and after that was sent
to Paris by President Arthur in
part payment of his contributions to
the Garfeld-Arthur campaign fund OF
1880. After he was succeeded to
the French mission by Minister McLane
he returned to New York and made an
effort to get into the United States senate
through the legislature of his state, but
made a failure of it, since which
time he has Withdrawn from public life,
Mr.. Morton is expected to canvass Wall-st.

be quite often during the next few
months

1t was driven over town and was every
where hailed with cheers. A carriage
filled with Second ward republicans,
drawn by four black horses, also attracted
much attention. While out ratifying in
this way the enthusiasts were wont to
stop in front of the the NelGs and the Jour
nal office and other republican strong
holds where there would be fusillade
OF tin horns.
The din in the streets continued, but
lessened somewhat in volume as repub-
hcans gradually wore themselves out. At
Ais o'clock the booming of a cannon or
anvil was heard above everything else. 1t
was fired at very short intervals and shook
the buildings in the center of the city.
The salutes came from Circle park, and
there was no cessation for nearly two
hours.
Everybody wanted to find some more
satisfactory way to relieve his exhuber-
ance, and the natural query arose: "When
will the republicans ratify?" This was
answered late in the afternoon, by the ap-
pearace in the street of a covered wagon,
on either side of which was this flaming
announcement:
