PRESS OPINIONS.

On the Republican Standard Bear
ers,--HarrIson and Morton.
Albany Journal: By the mastery
dignity and sublime self sacrifice of
James G. Blaine, and by the willing
and disinterested spirit of the republi-
can delegation of the Empire state,
Endorsed and sustained to the last
ditch by the republicans at home, the
nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harri-
son, of Indiana, was made possible,
and the convention at Chicago has
presented him for the suffrages OF the
American people.
The choice of the convention is a
magnificent one. This morning the
convention was in chaos. Never In
the history of the party has there been
so many candidates pressing for the
nomination, so nearly equal in point
of chances and so warmly, uncompro-
misingly supported by their friends.
It::seemed impossible to agree upon
any one. Even the republican papers
of the country admitted the situation
was critical.
But once again the oracle spoke.
Like the voice of one of old, "This is
the way, walk we in it," the grand
wisdom of that greatest OF Americans,
James G. Blaine, was hurried under
the sea on lightning wings, and the
convention listened, as the party has
for score of years, to his counsel.
He could not in justice to his party be
a candidate.
At once the clouds cleared up. The
party was again unit. 1t knows no
stalwart or half deeds There are no
disgruntled, unhappy men in it. The
nomination of Harrison was accom-
plished by no subterfuge or trickery.
The race was free for all, and the
nomination fell by the untrammeled
choice of the convention. There is not
defeated candidate for the nomina-
ton who will not be. found for the
stump this fall.
Harrison has been chosen. A man
from Indiana, state brought with
it's fifteen electoral votes by this one
act of the convention from the list OF
doubtful states into the noble galaxy
of commemorative destined by the
God of nations to shine for the repub-
licanism whose principles in war he
smiled on in raising up Abraham
Lincoln, and in peace by recogniZln
Grant and Garfield.
The result is glorious one. 1t is
redolent with victory. Honor, virtue,
craftsmanship are the jewels our lead,
er brings to his party. Harmony and
spirit mark his followers. The noblest
achievements in human history have
been wrought by men stung, by de-
feat, and on the wreckage of the con-
test of 1884 shall arise tbe turrets of a
redeemed republic, restored to its for.
mer noble proportions-the security OF
the people, the admiration of nations
by the republican party, with this
characterization and victory!

The story Of the Disaster In the Wei
lington Galleries.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Jan. 26-James Wet
more, one Of the survivors of the Wellington
mine disaster, says that the explosion extin-
guished all the lights In the mine. Accom-
panied by eleven Of his comrades. he gropos.
about in the darkness and sitting after-damp
and after wandering about the chambers for
half an hour or more, all lay down TO die.
At last all succumbed but Wetmore, whose
lusty shouts attracted the attention Of the
reseuing party.
Michael Lyons was blown 700 feet from
the shaft. His eyes are gone and one arm Is
torn from its socket.
Robert Camden was leading a gang Of
comrades out Of the pit, after the two explo-
sions, when all we're struck by wave Of az
terdamp and killed.
The men who have volunteered to recover
the dead bodies experiences great trouble In
prosecuting their work. The mine Is filed
with after-damp, and more explosions are
feared. Three Of the searchers were over
come by the deadly gas yesterday afternoon,
and were resuscitated with much difficulty.
Indians and Chinese were en- Saged In this
perilOus work yesterday.
The first explosion Ia, the pit sent all
screaming to the shaft. Some Of the bodies
cannot be reached, as they lie beReatn tons
Of coal and timber.
