nomination the weakest the Republican
party could have made"
VIRGINIA.
LEXINGTON (Va), June 26th.-Governor
FitZhugh Lee said " Democratic Virginia
would have much preferred the nomination
of Sherman, Blaine, Ingalls,, futile, Fair
child or Foraker. whose records are red
with the bloody shirt, bat is satisfied with
Harrison. His selection means that the
Pacific Coast and the greater part of the
Atlantic Coast will go Democratic"
PENNSYLVANIA.
BELLFoNTAINE pa, June 26th.-Gov-

have been better made, and is undoubtedly
the winning ticket"
MASSACHUSETTS.
BosToN, June 26th.-Governor Ames to-
night said he believed Harrison would be

warmer, more human, and has a wide
knowledge of statecraft.

NEW YORK OPINIONS.

Expressions From Some of the Leading
New York Journals.
Copyright, 1888, by TIE Cali oraia Associated Press
New York, June 26th.-The Herald saws
of Harrison The candidate is an upright,
honorable man. This fact is a great gain
to the country. There can be no cause on
either side for a mere personal canvass, and
fortunately the position of the two parties
on the question of taxation is so radically
opposed that the canvass can be made and
will be made mainly on this question.
The Press says: 1t is doubtful if better
ticket could have been nominated. 1t is
strong at both ends; strong in patriotism.
strong i'll craftsmanship, and will be so
strong in the heart of every true American
that 1t will be elected by an overwhelming
majority in November.
The Tribune says: With Harrison as a
candidate the Republican party has a right
to look for popular uprising such as swept
Martin Van buren, from power in 1910.
The World says editorially Harrison has
neither the positive political weakness. nor
political strength of Blaine or Sherman.
This, however, may be in his faver rather
than disadvantage.
The Times (Mugwump) says editorially :
1t is respectable nomination, bat no nom
lnation to strike terror to Cleveland's sup
porters. Quite the contrary.
The sun says of Harrison He is not a
great man or great political genius. but
nobody need believe he is an insignificant
candidate. In the Senate he proved his in
dependence by voting against the law to
exclude Chinese. That may lose him votes
IN California and Oregon, but it will gain
him votes elsewhere. 1t is a respectable
ticket all through.
REPUBLICANS GLADLY SURPRISED.
UTICA, n. Y, June 26th.-Here in the
late Roscoe Conkling' home, where Blaine's
enemies are IN The majority, Har1ison's
nomination is received with glad surprise.
All shades of Republicans declare Harrison
will reunite the party. Among the Demo-
Gratis there is some disappointment that
Blaine was not nominated The Democrats
in Utica consider Blaine an easier man to
defeat. Still they are satisfied to have
Harrison as Cleveland's opponent They
regard Democratic success as inevitable.
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
New YORK, June 25th.-The Commercial
AdUertiSer editorially says Harrison's char
acter is above reproach. His nomination
will relieve the country of the fear of an
other campaign of personal criticism and
scandal. The issue will now be one of
principle and policy.

Gay, but that hour found them vet in bed,

What the programme will be is not set

| will probably go TO New York and make
the acquaintance OF Levi P Morton. An
other detachment is considering a trip to
Lake Minnitonka, while others will return
tomorrow.
They are all enthusiastic Harrison men,
and say he will be elected and will carry
the Pacific coast States. 1t is expected that
during the campaign Blaine will take the
stump in California and Oregon for the Re-
publican ticket. Through this influence
will be overcome any lingering prejudice
that may exist against Harrison in the
minds of the Western people.

WASHINGTON, June 26th.-The town is
alive tonight. The ovation to the return
ing members of the National Republican
League brought thousands of people down
town. They arrived little after 10 o clock,
and the train had hardly stopped when
hurrahs went up from thousands of throats.
The stay at-home members of the League,
headed by the Third Artillery Band, led
the procession up Pennsylvania avenue to
the League House. All along the line of
march, on each side, the people were
packed and damned. At the League
House ratification was held, but the cere-
monies were cut short by the lateness OF
the hour.
Congressman Morrow spoke at length,
and gave an assurance of the loyalty of the
Pacific slope. He promised that California
would give Harrison and Morton a rousing
majority next fall. He stated that he had
personally investigated the Chinese record
of Harrison, and knew that it would dc
the ticket no harm on the Pacific SLOPE

IT MUST BE ACHIEVED.

That must have been a moment Of in
tense interest when General Chalmers, of
Mississippi, stood before the National Re
publican Convention on Monday and elo-
quently seconded the nomination of Levi
P. Morton. General Chalmers was born
and raised Democrat; he is a Southerner
by blood and birth and sympathy. He en-
tered the Confederate army and fought
gallantly and from the conviction born of
education, to establish the independency
of the Southern Confederacy Having
given some account Of this part OF his his

why he had come to be Republiean-be-

to the truth concerning the Democratic
party SIX yearsago. He lad been brought to
20 see that it is tie simple ally of Southern
oligarchy; that it gives,very little if any,
concern to the conservation of the rights
of free men inithe South; that it is 6 pill
ant tool In the hands of Southern leaders
to do their purpose in preventing the voice
of all the people Of the South from being
heard at the polls
General Chalmers went 50 far as to say
that there YVES no more hope of his vote
being counted in the South, than that Of
the black man xho Gares to cast a ballat
against the Democratic party, or the viii
of any of its Southern managers He ap-
plauded the Republican party for having

This leaves Connecticut 6, Indiana Is,
New jersey 8, and New Yort. &c, or 4
total of &c votes, concerning which spec
ulation is to be INDUCED in
There are 401 votes in the Electoral
College, and POI are necessary to the
selection Of President. If the RepubH-
can party can add Indiana and New
York to lis list (5l votes it will have
233, or 81 more than necessary AS it
needs but 10 to be addee to its 1872 as
sured Indiana with Is and Connecticut
with 6, total q, will give the requisite
vote without New York Or New York
passed over to the Republican column
will be sufficient to insure a victory
without Indiana, with even the claim
of the Democracy admitted, for amuse-
ment, that it can carry Oregon, Cal
ifornia and Nevada IA votes. That
is to say, the vote, with New York won,
and the Pacific States not counted upon
will give Harrison and Morton 204 votes,
conceding New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana to the Mr.. Cleveland's bandana
party.
But we have no sort of fear of the party
losing the Pacific coast States, and look
upon General Harrison's nomination as
assuring Indiana for the ticket, while there
is no certainty that either New Jersey OF
West Virginia will remain in the Demo
cratic column. In the former State in
1884 Mr.. Cleveland did not secure ma
jority of the votes cast, while his plurality
was but 4,412. His percentage of the vote
was 1885, while Mr.. Blaine's was 47.16,
the remainder going to the Prohibitionists
and Greenbackers. Neither of these will
this year cast so strong vote as before,
and there will be no disafection in the
Republican ranks. In 1886, in the State
election, the Democrats won by 5000
plurality, but the vote for the three candi-
dates for Governor fell short of the vote of
1884 by nearly 10000. In West Virginia
the Republican per cent. of the total vote
was 4l.02. 1t increased in 1884 to 47.74,
and Mr.. Cleveland's plurality was but
4,22l out of a total vote of 132,157. There
is strong reason for the hope to carry West
Virginia and New Jersey over this year to
Harrison and Morton.
As for Connecticut, the plurality for Mr..
Cleveland was but 1884 in 1884. The
Democratic percentage of the total vote
was 1894 and the Republican 48.0l In
1880 the State gave Garfield 1856 plur-
atty and the Republican party 4 percent
age of 50.5l, against 1851 for the De-
mocracy. In 1886 Connecticut went for
the Democratic candidate for Governor by
plurality of but 1898, out of a total vote
of l23, 243, or $4,000 less than was cast in
1884, when the Democracy received 600
less in its plurality. Strong hopes may be
reasonably entertained that Connecticut
may be removed from among the doubtful
States"
