Y.tsrest in Butte yesterday conferred il
!. nominations mt Chicago. The bulletins
.bev came through the day, were eagerl
.onsd. and the news Of the nomination
: General Harrison fell upon almos
one with surprise. As q rule, he wa.
shody,s favorite here, and most RepubIi
~ &c first expressed considerable disap
ssn,ment. Among the Democrats III,
rmination was hailed with unaffected sat
.@.lsction, and they regarded any tickei

tain to be defeated. As the day wor.

~ President was announced, Republic
ans lost their confident AIR and assumed 4

q he we're nominated was generally remem-
hsred a1d quoted with faint efforts at ex-
o~auation by Republicans. It was ex-
nained away in every possible
shspe, but the certainty that the
real facts in the case will soon be
known left conjecture open, with Democrats
generally confident that the record would
lose the Pacific slope to the Republican
marty especially with il pronounced man

Tasgenerally conceded that the nomina-
ion Of Morton OF New York, the rich
hanker, was for the use OF the "barp, and
shows where the sympathy Of the Republic |

With the gold bugs of Wall street. Several
Republicans were asked yesterday What
they thought oil the nomination with this
result:
Thompson Campbell. / think The nomi-
nation Of Harrison a good one. Next to
Blaine | regard him as the strongest candi-
date in the field. His record is all right.
Az to what DeYoung said on Saturday /
don't believe q word ~ it. / have known
DeYoung since he a o boy and while he's
agood business man he can't form an idea
paiticaliy unless some one inspires him.
lie got up and said what he did to % O.
ne the nomination of Blaine. Very
likely he thought ii a smart trick.
CITY Clerk Graves: 1 thiuk it a good
animation. Harrison is enc OF the
trngest men OF the party.
ludgs Lippincott: ! had far rather have
lAheither Blaine or Gresham.
vi. Hall: / think him q good man.
Eras here six years ago and went through
hs Alice mine. / found him a fine gentle.
nu and a well informed one. Still, the
lOmination doesn't satisfy me as well as
Blaine would.
W. e. Pettes: You can put it down that
tho convention has selected q good man {
and that he will be our next President. {
trssham was my choice but Harrison is a {
good man. II
Paul Davis: | bet you it will be Garfield
again. When he was nominated mo-
knew what he had done and he was ,
yng to be beat so bad he would never
now it. But it turned out the other way. 3
how it will be this time.
Widen Pinkham: or course it's a good
animation and any nomination is a
God one if he is only a protectionist.
that's all wrong about what DeYoung :
ali. Harrison's position on the Chinese =
luestion is this: He holds that having
been admitted TO the country and beingI
given the same rights as the most favored
nation, they ought to be allowed the same g
protection from the laws that other aliens CT
are entitled to. He never said anything h
about ~naturalizing them. No, and with :;
for President, Phelps for Vice Presi I.
and Depew running at the same time y
pr Governor OF New York, it's good by a.
Democrats, next November. Harrison can al
AIRY Indiana; Phelps can carry New Jer- i,
hen there's another thing about Harri- :,
ION. He can get more votes among the y
I'd Presbyterians, Methodists and Bap- 81
Of the country than Blaine could. "
l the whole, he is a better man and more 81
pnservatiye than Blaine. and m that 81
need be afraid to trust. People %
Ese prejudiced against Blaine. III Blaine ss
the stump for him, that's all; | &c
it will make Blaine stronger in the u
~iHections OF his admirers than il no had is
accomplished the nomination. &c
John Mcguire: 1t isn't q question oil 81
but OF principles, and the Republic u
ans have the best of that Argument. gr
George W. Irwin H.: 1 am satisfied with %
be nomination. l think Harrison stronger e
han any other man who was before the CO
invention except Blaine. We will correct al
be error OF four years ago with him. In 81
bis campaign the bucket brigade will have ne
to say and they are going to 50
'Ote to protect American labor. 10

Of Blaine. He thought it would be q

was up here and had been for q

eDate he was chairman of the Committee va

Major Hornbrook: / don't think the "

mar who was in the race Tor M

or New York and the East. He will make WI
} better race there than any ether man sI
ooUld have outside OF Blaine. Blaine was er
choice from the beginning. He's sale OF

up his record on the Chinese question b,
lgainst him and, though there's nothing In eli

COLONEL Dolman: Harrison comes from T
