nominated as a republican candidate
for the presidency Benjamin Harrison

office gives the people of Indiana an oppor-

reached for his hip pocket, whereupoa the

Motion to Censure the Government

for It's Course.
LONDON, June 25.-In the house of COM
mons this evening John Morley moved to
censure the government for its administra-
ton of the Irish crimes act as calculated to
undermine respect for law, estrange the
people of Ireland and prove injurious to
the interest OF the empire, and he accused
ba1our OF refusing to give lnforma-
ton as to how the coercion act
operated, OF grave lnaccuracy IN
ms statements regarding prosecutions, OF
injustice toward prisoners both before trial
and after conviction, and of baking their
appeals and allowing them to be maltreated
under prison rules. A crying instance of a
perversion of the law, he said, was the con-
vlctlon OF Mr.. Dillon The government had
contended that the crimes act created no
new offenses, but Dillon had been convicted
Oh no oHense against the ordinary law,
put SIMPLY of an imaginary offense, created
under the crimes act. He instanced num-
Der OF other convictions as a burlesque of
justice, and said that the proceedings of the
courts resembled incidents in comic opera.

Mr. Goschen, chancellor Of the exchequer,
replied that it was the introduction of
anarchial ideas, regarding obedience to
law, and a new and immoral inter
probation Of the duties of the citizen
that had made Ireland what it was The

tlpn of the crimes act and of the approval
or the law -abiding people, were ready to
meet the motion with every respect

Some Interesting Inside Views of the
Latest Plans.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Chairman Cooper of
the Pennsylvania state committee, who has
ell during the convention opposed Senator
Quay in his efforts to nominate Sherman,
tonight gave some interesting inside views
of the Blaine movement last night
aid to-day. Chairman Cooper says
that last night the Blaine men had
assurances Of 600 votes in the con-
vention. and a plan to nominate Blaine
to-day was fully arranged. At that time
the managers OF the Blaine movement had
received TIE first Of the cablegrams which
were read in the convention to-day. Itw
then decided to nominate Blaine notwith-
standing tins dispatch. This morning another
conference was held, and it was definitely
decided TO force the nomination of Blaine
or the fourth ballot today This agree
ment was reached upon CpOper's own mo-
ton. 1t was also agreed that if this plan
succeeded, of which The managers had no
doubt. to have the convention al journ and
await reply from Blaine But before the
convention met second dispatch from
Blaine was received and the scheme was
abandoned. II was agreed TO throw the
Blaine vote TO Harrison, which was done,
and resulted in HarTisOn's nomination.

CHICAGO, June D, 10 A. M-The Sherman
tide which set in yesterday flows on this
morning, and it will reach it's food on the

the manipulatious of the Blaine movement
are disconnected and have lost their conf
dence New York can stem the Sherman
tide if the delegation from that state de
slres to prevent his nomination. The ques-
ton is now, can New York effect his nomi-
nation if his delegation desires to do
SOL In brief, without New Yor g
support it does not appear that Sherman
has any chance at all. His friends claim
that Sherman will get New York, and that is
the situation in a nutshell Senator His
cock said to the Associated Press repre-
sentative few moments ago: New York
will vote for Harrison as long as be has a
fair chance OF success. Should Harrison
become an improbability New York will
consider Sherman"
"Will the delegation vote for himY' was
asked, to which the senator made this
oracular reply: THE New York delegation
has not had any conference upon that issue
Yet we expect to stand by Harrison for

Money.


PROVIDENCE, r. l. June 25.-Charles A.
Pitcher, teller of the Union bank, has
absconded with an amount of the banks
funds not yet determined, but 1t is rumored

the bank for a number Of years. He left
the banking room at usual hour, about
o'clock Saturday afternoon, and de-
parted, as was supposed, for
home AS far as can be
learned no suspicion whatever had attached
To his action, and those who happened to
see him Saturday afternoon say he appeared
as usual in his behavior. This was the last
seen OF HIM by the officials of the bank.
This morning it was discovered that a con-
siderable amount of the banks funds
were missing. Pitchers accounts were
found to be involved, and experts were
put upon the books to discover the extent
of the shortage He said that Pitcher took
about all the valuables he could lay his
hands on, even 10 the pennies. The bank
was open this morning, but no business was
done. Pitcher whereabouts is unknown,
but detectives are at work on the case.
HALF A MILLION IN BONDS ALONE.
PROVIDENCE, June %, p. Mt is now

A HARRISON BULLETIN READ.
How 1t Was Received by Democrats

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The house was

bill when the news of the nomination of

dozen members made pretense of attending to
business, but almost quorum was gathered
about the bulletin boards in the lobbies
As the last bulletin was received the mem
bers fioeked into the hall and stood at their
desks, when MIR. Lodge of Massachusetts
asked the clerk TO read the telegram. AS
the officer read, Harrison is nomi-
mated" the republicans cheered wildly.
The democrats gazed for a moment
on the scene and then joined heartily in
applause, several bandanas making their
appearance in answer to the challenge on
the other side. For many minutes the
chairman pounded his desk and endeavored
10 secure order. Quiet would be partially
restored, when Anderson of Kansas,
who sits directly in front of
the speaker, would leap TO his
feet with a cheer, and the house would fol-
low him with another outburst Of applause.
Finally the house got acl to business, and
the republicans in small groups gathered
again in the spaces in the rear of the seats
and Hobbies 10 talk over the nomination.
