The Republican Ticket

The republicans have nominated Benja-
min Harrison, a western lawyer and poll
tician, for President, and Levi P. Morton.
New York banker and politician, for
vice-presiient. 1t cannot he said that these
gentlemen make strong ticket As far
as the world knows they are men Of iRteg
rity and ability, and have c can records,
but neither of them is a great man, nor a
particularly strong man IN any direction.
Gen. Harrison has been presidential can
didate for a number Of years, but outside
Of his personal friends it is doubtful ii
anybody ever seriously thought he would
be nominated. There were no strong rea-
sons why he should be. II is true his grand
father was president, and he is a resident of
a doubtful state, but will the fact that be
had distinguished grandfather make him
a strong candidate, and is it certain that he
can carry his state! Distinguished ancestry
doesn't count for much in politics in this
country, but if Gen. Harrison can carry
ms state there was not wanting an excuse
for nominating him. The purpose is not to
convey the impression that he is a third
rate man, because he is not. On the con-
trary, when he was a member of the senate
he was ranked as one of the strong men of
that body. but he is far from being the
equal of Blaine or Sherman, and is certainly
not as popular as Gresham.
Gen. Harrison has no magnetic qualities,
and there is nothing in his record that is
calculated to arouse enthusiasm in his party
or TO inspire it with confidence in the sue
cessful issue of the campaign. He is as cold
in his manner as Sherman, and he lacks
Sherman's ability. 1t is doubtful if his life
affords much material for camp ign htera-
ture. and it will require great deal to
arouse much enthusiasm among the disap-
pointed admirers Of Blaine.
Mr.. Morton was put on the ticket with
the hope, perhaps, that he would help to
carry New York He will not render much
assistance unless he contributes freely to
the campaign fund. He is very rich man,
and has always been ready to put his hand
into his pocket whenever his party needed
financial assistance.
The ticket is not very popular one, and
it viii not be at all surprising if murmurs
Of dissatisfaction with it are heard. Of
course the party newspapers will make the
best of it, and viii pretend, perhaps, that
no better nominations could have been
made; but when they consider how popular
the democratic ticket is, they will not feel
like saying much about the popularity of
their own ticket. 1t would not be difficult
to name a dozen republican tickets that
would compare favorably with that named
at Chicago.

Stanley's Fate.

The fate of Stanley, the African explorer,
is clouded in doubt. Those who are best
qualified from their knowledge Of the coun-
try he undertook to traverse and its inhabi-
tants are still hopeful that he is alive, and
will reach his destination.
1t is about year since he left the juno
ton of the Congo and Aruwhimi rivers to
go TO the relief of Emin Pasha, who was
then supposed to be at Wadilai, distance of
500 mile2. The route was through a country
| almost unknown to Stanley, and as it is a
wilderness, and portions of it inhabited by
| hostile tribes, it was not expected that he
would reach his destination i'm less than two
months, even if he met with no unexpected
Instructions. He was well prepared for the
journey. The testimony is that it was the
best equipped expedition that ever attempted
to accomplish any object in Central Africa
1t comprised $50 natives and four Europeans
1t had plenty of provisions and ammu-
nition A depot of supplies was established
on the Congo, and it was arranged that the
great Arab chief, Tipoo lib, should follow
along the line of march with additional
supplies in order to be of assistance in case
of disaster.
The last news heard from Stanley.
that is regarded as reliable, is that he is
beleagued in a mountainous region, that he
is virtually without supplies and that at
least third of his forc9 is ill with fever.
1t is also stated that Stanley is suffering
from a wound In the shoulder caused by an
arrow Assistance was sent to him last
To Ixrr innnn l1,tk
been heard from the relief force.
OF course Stanley has met with a great
misfortune of some kind, but what it is or
the extent of it, is not known with any de-
gree Of certainty. The report that he is
surrounded by enemies in Mountainous
region may be correct, but entire reliance
is not placed upon it.
The English government is being urged
to fit out an expedition for Stanley's relief.
but il is apparent that if his situation is as
precarious as it is represented to be, assist
ance will have to be sent to him quickly to
do him any good.
Ii is rumored that the whole region in
which Stanley is supposed to be is in a state
of revolt against Europeans, and that the
Arabs and their allies in the neighborhood
of Lake Nyassa have determined to drive
out Of the country all the traders and mis-
sionaries. They are irritated at the check
which has been placed upon their slave
trading operations. II they are not dealt
with promptly and firmly they will undo
all that has been accomplished by traders
and missionaries during the last twenty
years.

Defeat ofthe Riaine Programme.


II Is quite safe to say that the Chicago
convention was not satisfied with its work,
and that the republican party is not salts
ned with II. Republicans in all parts Of
the country wanted Blaine nominated. not
only because they have profound respect
Tor ms ability, but, also. because they
admire the man. They believe that, not
outstanding his defeat in 1884, he could
come nearer being elected than any
| other man who could be nominated, and
with him as their leader they would have
| gone into the campaign with a confidence
and enthusiasm which viii be wanting
under Gen Harrison's leadership.
1t was clearly the purpose of some Of the
aolest politicians and leading newspapers to
nominate Blaine, and there is no doubt that
Blaine wanted the nomination. They did
not want him TO engage in a struggle for
the nomination, and he did not want nomi-
nation obtained in that way, because they
knew. and he knew, that it would make
him enemies, and he could not reasonably
| hope for a successful issue of the campaign
II the number Of his enemies in the party
were increased.
There is no doubt that Mr. Elkins' state
ment, that Blaine was willing to take the
nomination only after it had been clearly
| demonstrated that no other candidate was
the choice of the convention, is approx
mately correct, but the friends of Blaine
and the friends of the other candi-
dates will never agree, perhaps, as to
whether the plan of the Blaine leaders ad-
mitted of a free and fair expression
of the convention with respect to the other
candidates. Blaine's friends will say it did
| and his opponents will say it did not
As that plan was developed it looked very
muck as if the convention were being skill
fully handled SO as to prevent any one Of
| the avowed candidates from getting the
| nomination, and to so thoroughly convince
them that they couldn't get it that they
would withdraw and leave the field clear
for the unanimous nomination of Blaine
There is even ground for supposing that
Mr. Depew was acting in harmony with
the Blaine leaders. He knew that he could
not get the nomination, and yet he persisted
in being candidate. When he thought the
time had come for him to act, he withdrew.
Was it not expected that his example would
influence other candidates who were acting
in good faith, and that believing their pros
pect for getting the nomination was hope
less they too would withdraw! 1t certainly
looks that way.
The plan of the Blaine managers failed
because the other candidates got at last
clear understanding of the plan, and, be-
ieving they were not being dealt with
fairly and sincerely, determined to remain
in the contest as long as they could get
vote. This determination settled the ques-
tion of Blaine's nomination. 1t effectually
prevented him from getting a unanimous
nomination, and as that was the only kind
that he was figuring for, or could afford to
take, his managers virtually ceased their
efforts in his behalf and let the convention
take its course. There is no doubt that he
could have had a majority nomination.

bands of India rubber gatherers carry on
an iniquitous traffic with many Indian
