PRESS COMMENTS.
New YORK, June 25.-The Tribune
says the convention was remarkable for
Its cool and patient deliberation which
mas never been surpassed since its de-
ciaratlon OF Republican principles. It
mas nominated as the Republican can
Cidate Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana.
HIS nomination gives the people of In
diana an opportunity which they
will probably improve to show
their detestatlon Of crime and OF the
pSrty which made Cleveland President
by robbing citizens of their rights.
CHICAGO, June % The tribune to. |
morrow will say; 1t would be sheer
hypocrisy on the part Of the Tribune to
pretend that it thinks the convention
placed in nomination for its leader the
best man, as its readers would not be-
lIeVe such an opinion sincere. What
has been done is beyond recall, direc-
ton or change. There is nothing left
Tor straight party men who had differ
emit first choice but to make the
best OF it by suppo} ting the nominee.
The candidate himself will be found to
possess much to admire. He has be-
longed to the Republican party since
its ORGANIZATION ard has been true to
its fundamental principles. He has
voted its ticket, represented it in the
Senate Chamber and risked his
life on the battle field in defence of its
principles. He is man of clear char
acter, highest conduct, correct morals
and Intellectually an ADLER man than
his competitor for the Presidency.
The delegates representative of the
party having selected General Harri-

convention and will give satisfac-
tlon to The party generally.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Concerning the
nomination Of Harrison, the Stats lei
tang, independent Republican. will say
tomorrow: His career in the Senate
was not permanent. He showed moral
courage by opposition to Chinese laws.
His position in this respect will proba-
bly, cost him the fourteen electoral votes
of the Pacific States. In H.
diana he has a certain strength
which, however, is based more
Oh his ability as a political boss than
on his personal popularity. He has no
magnetism at all. The Germans of
neutrality-suspicious. as we'll as Demo
crats-do not care for him because
under his influence the Republican
party OF Indiana declared itself for
submitting constitutional amendment
in favor of prohibition to vote of the
people. The Republican candidate for
Vice President, General p. Morton, is
the man of his money bags. AS States
man compared with Thurman, Morton
is nothing. The convention
hoped by him to make a good i'm
preston on theState of New YORK,
and that Morton would reach dep in
his purse to fill campaign funds. The |
Republican National Convention be-
fore 1t adjourned adopted a resolu-
ticn by Boutelle, of Maine. in
which the party is pledged to
support all wise measures for further
ance of temperance. The Republican
party now stands as a Temperate party,
even if it has not the courage to openly
pronounce itself for prohibition. 1t
may by this new trick bring back a few
of tho prohibitionists who have fallen
off, but how will the German Republi
cans feel after their long stay with the
party"
