THE NOMINATIONS.
An Enthusiastic Meeting with Speeches
by Horr and Ingersoll-The Demo-
cratic National Committee Get.
ting Ready for Work.

New YORK, June 29.-The Metropolitan
Opera House was thronged tonight with
republicans who had assembled under
the auspices of the republican club of this
city to ratify the nominations of Harrison
and Morton. The presiding officer was
Edward Il. Bartlett. In opening he .spoke
in warm praise of the republican plat
form and candidates. The first speaker
was eX Congressman Roswell G. Horn of
Michigan. He was received with applause
and the cheers increased when he said !:
81 come to you from the far West, simply
for the purpose of saying to you people of
the East that we intend to join hands
with you in redeeming the United States
of America" The platform gives us the
clear cut issue of protection to the in
dustries of America The issue has been
narrowed down to the question. Which is
better to manage the nation, the repub-
lican clubs of the country or the Golden
club of England Enthusiastic applause.
believe in building up our own country.
The history of England does not inspire
me with enthusiasm. She is blood
sucker, always for herself and never for
us.
At this point Gen. Sherman entered and
was 4ultlly tdhlnS n SCtu III u DOh w
he was perceived and was greeted with
cheers for several minutes. The band play.
ed Hail to the Chief"
We in Michigan raised 100000 pounds
of wool last year. They want to put that
on the free list. We cut millions of feet of
lumber in Michigan last year. This they
want to put on the free list. 1t is the
same with iron and copper. Yet they say
Michigan may 90 democratic. She wont
do it. Michigan has been taken out of the
list of doubtful States and many other
States will be given up by the democrats
before November. What we want is pro-
lection for all our industries.
In closing Horn said Harrison will carry
Indiana without doubt. Indiana's veterans
themselves will ensure its success against
the ticket headed by Cleveland, who
vetoed so many soldiers bills and gave
ridiculous and insultings reasons for his
actions. Now how is New York going
cRepublican" cried many voices.) Yes
you start in the campaign without a dis
senting voice and you cannot help win
Mug. Let the East and the West unite
and We'll win as sure as the ticket in the
field is a good one Col Robert q. Inger-
soil was the next speaker.

NEW ENGLAND CROP PROSPECTS.
Hay VIII be the Best for Years-EnCour-
ing Keports of Other Producta.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July THE Re
publican will publish in the morning re
ports from over 100 correspondents of the
crop prospects in western New England,
including western Massachusetts north
ern Connecticut, and the southern dis
tricts in New Hampshire and Vermont.
All reports agree n declaring the grass
crop the best known for many years in
both quantity and quality. In view of in
creasing attention being given to dairy
farming this fact is important.
The growth of grains were retarded by
the cold and wet weather of.May, but the
the recent hot weather has given them a
start and good harvest is expected. The
acreage of corn seems to be increasing,
evidently TO the detriment of tobacco,
which is steadily losing ground, except in
few towns in the Connecticut valley.
The little tobacco that is reported IS grow
ing well, but the cut worms have been do
ing it some damage. The high prices for
potatoes proved a great temptation TO
acreage is noted everywhere, and
if the wet weather does not
bring rot and the bugs can be kept away
potatoes will be plenty and cheap this fall.
Indications point to fair but not large
crops and fruits and apples will be com
paratively scarce, the trees in some locali-
ties having failed TO bloom. Smaller fruits
are being grown in the Connecticut valley
this year more extensively than ever and
the crop may be larger than usual. Wild
berries are said to be very plenty. Vegeta-
bles in general are said to be in flourish
ing condition. In Sutherland, Shstield
and few other towns onion raising Is be-
coming a special occupation OF farmers
and the plants are developing timely.

Entire Innocence,

BOSTON, June 2S,-Mrs. Robinson, the
Somerville posoner was this afternoo on
denied new trial and was sentenced to
hang November l6. Before sentence was
pronounced Mrs. Robinson was asked IL
she desired to say ANYTHING, to which she
replied affirmatively. She said she had
never believed Prince Arthur Freeman
was poisoned, but if he was it was by
other hands than hers. She had never
seen poison of any kind nor bought it, nor
had it in her house. She knew the de-
ceased was insured, but never till after his
death did she know the insurance had been
made over to her. DR.. Beers came to her
house the day after Mr.. Freeman came
home sick. He brought some wine which
he administered to Freeman, leaving a
small quantity in the glass In cleaning
out the room after Freemans death her
daughter Lizzie found the wine and
brought it to her to take, she did so and
was made violently sick. Her statement
was in brief strong declaration of her
entire innocence.

BLAINE ON THE STUMP.
He Will Talk Protection in All of the
Doubtful States

WAsHINGTON, d. c., July IA senator-
al friend of Blaine says that Blaine will
return by the 1st of September, and will
take an active part in the cam paigu, speak
ing in New York. Connecticut and New
Jersey. and perhaps in Ohio and Indiana.
He will make protection the burden of his
speeches, with occasional references to the
alleged suppression of the negro vote in the
South. This friend thinks that Blaine will
go into the campaign with the purpose of
making himself the peculiar and especial
exponent of the doctrine of high protec-
ton, with a view to 1892, when, he says.
Blaine will, if he lives, be formal and
open candidate for the nomination He
thinks that there is au understanding that,
if Harrison is elected, Blaine Will be OF
fered the secretaryship of state.

In reply Judge Thurman thanked the

him. Not that he underestimate the
distinction, but he had ceased to be am
