The Republican National convention
has finished its work and finished it
well. The delegates went into the
convention undecided as to their choice.
There was no one man whose greatness
so overshadowed his rivals as to make
his nomination foregone conclusion.
When it was found that some of the
''favOrite sons'' must 60 to the wall,
the delegates wisely combined on the
man whom they considered the strong
est candidate for the party.
Benjamin Harrison is one of the
ablest lawyers and bravest generals
that the nation has ever produced. He
comes of good blood, his grandfather,
President William Henry Harrison,
having been the hero of TippecanOe
and his family throughout being one
of the most distinguished in the middle
West. His career as a lawyer and a
statesman has proved him a safe leader,
OuC WIN CdH uO IL unlcu W Hdllulo tHC
reins of government without fear of
injuring the nations welfare.
Levi 2. Morton, the vice-presidential
nominee, is one of the ablest, cleanest
men in Empire State politics. He is a
native of New Hampshire, though his
residence most of his life has been in
New York. He has been before the
public in various positions of prOmi-
hence which he has always filled ac-
ceptably. During Arthur's administra-
ton he was minister to France, the
duties of which difficult place he per-
formed with distinguished ability. He
is wealthy; but his wealth has been
hOnOrably gained and never dlshOnor-
ably used.
Harrison and Morton makes strong
ticket. Indiana and New York are
both close States and the fact that the
candidates are taken from them will be
almost sure to bring them inside the
Republican fold. Congratulations are
pouring in upon the candidates and
every indication points to healing Of
all old differences, common rallying
around the party of protection and
Americanism and a triumphant march
to the white house in November.

Garfeld's Memorable Words.

As pertinent and as applicable today
rs they were in 1880, are the words of
General James A. Garfield, uttered in
the national convention by which he
was himself nominated. Not here,
in this brilliant circle where 1000 men
aud women are gathered, he said, lis
the destiny of the republic to be de-
creed for the next four years. Not
here, where L see the enthusiastic faces
of 756 delegates, waiting to cast their
lots into the urn and determine the
choice of the republic; but by four
million of Republican firesides, where
the thoughtful voters, with wives and
children about them. with the calm
thoughts inspired by love of home and
country, with the history o. the past,
the hopes Of the future, and reverence
for the greatest men who have adorned
and blessed our nation in days gone by,
burning in their hearts-there Godpre-
pares the verdict which will determine
the wisdom of our work tonight. Not
in Chicago, in the heat Of June, but at
the ballot boxes of the republic, in the
quiet of November. after the silence of
deliberate Judgment, will this question
be settled.

After the veterans left the crowd patient
" waited the coming of the California dele
cation. 1t was headed by committee Of
citizens, who presented the visitors T. the
General and Mrs. Harrison. The hour was
late, the visit was necessarily brief, and
General Harrison merely exchanged greet
ings. Chairman Estee was presented, but
excused himself from making q speech.
During the call, Greed Raymond, the
chairman of the delegation, presented
General Harrison a handsomely engraved
gold medal When the California delega-
ton left the General came out as the great
crowd showed no sign Of dispensing, and
again addressed them. 1t was twelve

Cleveland cannot reasonably expect the

finally be delivered to the person to
whom it was addressed.
