Morton today: The national con ventton of the Republican party re- gently assembled in Chicago nomi- nated as its candidate for President, Gen. Harrison, and with equal un- anmity selected you as its nominee for Vice. Presiqent. By order of that convention we were appointed a committee to notify it's nominees of thelr selection. This pleasant duty has been in part performed in giving Gen. Harrison, your associate on tue ticket, that notification. It only remains for us to discharge the further duty conferred upon us, by this oflieIal notice to you. The country has already passed judg- ment upon your selection and 1t has met such universal approval that s.t IS only left this eonmitte to add it's own expression oftheir high appre' citation of your own personal quail tres, as well as their confidence in your eminent fitness for the position which the deliberate judgment of the convention assigned you. In conclusion we bel e7e that this no tihcation to you will not be a mean ingIess formality, but that your nomination will result h triumph ant election.
 Mir. Morton replied as follows:
 Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committe-I am profoundly sensible ofthe high honor which has beeen conferred upon me by the National Republican eonven- to recently in session at Chieago and thank you, gentlemen, for the courteous and complimentary terms in which you have officially an nounced my nomination as the can didate of tte Repub lican party for the Vice Presidency. l am also deeply sensible of the honor con ferred upon the state of New York in tho selection of citizen of thls state as one of the standard bearers in the approaching peaceful conflict of the country for supremacy n governmental control.

STATE PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
From the Pine Blulr Commercial.

From the Pine Bluff Commercial
 The state prohibition convention assembled at Little Rock with tour teen counties represented by less than fifty delegates. After the ap- pointment of certain committees and perfeeting the organlzaton of the convention the convention ad- iourncd to Q o'clock this morning. Before the assemblage of tho con- yentlon it beeame evident that there would bea bolt and so it turned out. Fourteen delegates, including Dr. Browning, ofthis county, met and adopted the following;
 ADDRESS.
 To the Temperance people of Arkansas: WHEREAS, convention was re- gently called 10 meet at Little Rock on the 4th day of July, the propos- ed object of said convention was. among other things, to discuss the propriety of placing state prohlbl- tion party ticket in the field, and,
 WHEREAS, those who called said convention and who claimed the right to make rnles for inc admis- sion of delegates thereto declared that no one would be permitted to participate in the proceedings of the convention who did not favor the formation of q political proh1- bltion party and adopt the national prohibition party platform as the embodiment of hIs political faith. And whereas the persons who called said convention did not claim to be authorized by any temperance or ganization to make such a call.
 Therefore, We declined to enter the convention or to participate Tn the proceedings thereof; and We do protest against the action of the persons composing said convention as in opposition to the spirit and intent of the temperance movement, and detrimental to the best inter  ests of the cause in Arkansas; and We advise the friends of temperance throughout the stato to disregard the acton of sad convention and pursue the course so wisely adopted heretofore. Let no one be discour- aged or diverted by this 1T discreet movement, but let every true tenn feranco m1n and prohibltionlts vote and wo k against license al the September election, regardless of party atliliation,

4 RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.
He Bolts the Republican Ticket and
 Gives His Reasons.
Special to The Republic.

Special to The Republic.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July IT, Judge Aaron Meland, for many years judge of probate of thls city and one of the leading Republicans of the city, has bolted the Rcpubh- can ticket. He sad to-day:
 q do not believe in protection. 1 shall vote for Cleveland and Thur man and will be proud 10 do so.a
 "Do you think protection has done anything for America2"
 "The people of the United States are hke farmer on a large tract ot new rich land; the work put on his land results Tn large abundant crops. He and his family and hired men and hired girls get plenty to eat, drink and wear, and a good home to live in. The servants get good wages, because the crops are so large that everyone engaged in rais- ing them can have good share. This is, of course, provided nobody takes the crops away. The people in Europe, on the other hand, are like farmer on an old worn out piece of land; the same amount of work on tms land results in smaller crops, and consequently in less to eat, drink and wear, and in poorer buildings and smaller share for ser want hire. But the people on the good big farm, have not only the advantage of getting more for the same amount of work, beng better fed. clothed and housed, but they are also able to do more work than the others. Just as q horse fed on oats can do more work than horse fed on straw. This extra work | gives aa1ltloHal returns, anu iiahee tho difference of what the people on each farm earns still greater. Thus the people of the United States owe thelr better condition to the natural resources ot the country and to their ability to do work upon those re- sources, and not to any prot eetive tariff"

on horse splendidly; Lieut. Slade of the Fourth United States cavalry, and two orderlies, who brought up tue rear. Looking to the west, over fields of golden grain, Gen. Longstreet gazed long and lntently at the gloomy woods of Seminary Ridge, from which Pickett md hls thousands had dashed to make the memorable charge that decided the fortune of the day. The silence was at length broken by Gen. Butte r. field.
 We lost T splendid opportunity" ho said, "in hot ordering counter charge after Plckett's defeat
 The confederate leader quietly listened to the remark of tue chief of staff ot the man who commanded tue Union forces in the great bat tie. Gen. Longstreet seemed to think that Gen. Butterheld had something more to say, and he was right.
 II recommended that such q course should be pursued,9 continu- ed Gen. Butterfeld. "l knew that Slocum had his corps in readiness to move, and l pointed out to Gen. Meade the advantage that would certainly follow. Gen. Meade did not agree with me-"
 Gen. Longstreet nodded hls head gravely. Once more he loo ked across the open space as if recall ing tho events of twenty-five years ago. Then. turning to Gen. But teriield, he sad:
 That was fatal error, After the failure of Pickett's charge and there were some of IS who ex- pected it to fall-there were men who stood on Seminary Ridge who expected to see general advance by the Union forces We were for time Tn great trepidahon. Our lines were very thiRj they were in no condition to withstand an attack fit were made with any yisor. l am convinced that had we been then vigorously attacked there would have been an end to the war. :"

The Indiana Situation.

The Cleveland vote in Indiana in 1881 was 244,992, majority of G,512 over Blaine. The St. John vote was 3,028, so that if Harrison boiled the entire Prohibition vote, with the Blaine vote, he would still be 3 ,484 votes short of the Cleveland vote.
 There are from 8,o0Q.to 15,o00 G Greenbackers In the State. The vote for Butler was only s ,293, and as the sectional issue figured In the campaign of 1881, it is probable that those Greenbackers who cid not support Butler refused to do so Oh account of his sectional record. Most of them probably voted tor Cleveland.
 To have any chance of winning, Harrison must poll half of the en- tire Greenback vote cast in 1881. He cannot possibly dc it. The Greenbackers arc mostly original Democrats. This year they wlll vote with the Democrats every where, and they are particularly apt to do so in Indiana.
 They left the Democratic party because, as it seemed to them, il was not forcing the fight fast enough on centralization and monopoly. They can have no such complaint now, The Issue has been made squarely by President Cleveland and eXag- gerated by the Republican conyen- tion. TLurman's name on the ticket empdaslzcs the D emocralc guarantees, and the party is sure of the anti monopoly vote of the We and Northwest.
 In Indiana the Greenbaekers have an old gradge against Harrison. He has beenlndecentl n discuss ing them; his characterlzauons of them have added insult to rdicule. They are ready now to meet him at the polls. They will not run an inde- pendent ticket, but wlll leave lndi- vldual members of the party free to vote directly against the monopoly platform and the monopoly eandi- date. With this vote and the Dem oeratic vote of 1884 against him, Harrison has an adverse majority of at least b. ,00o to overcome, and it is not at all probable at he wllI succeed in polling even the Blaine vote.-[St. Louis Republic,

WAsnINGToS, July 5.-President Clevcland's response to the invita- ton to attend the Gettysburg reun- lon, which did not reach the office of the secretary until after his de parture for Gettysbug, is as follows: Gen. Iorario King, Recording Secre- tarY,
 My DEAR SRI have carefully considered the question ofacceptlng the invitation of the society of the army of the Potomac to attend the annual reunion to be held on the lst, 2d and Sd days ot July. l need hardly to assu1o you that l should be glad to be present on this very interesting occasion. In view, how ever, of my conhning duties here and all the circumstances surround ing the subject, have arrived at the conclusion that l ought not to leave here at the tune designated.
 The meeting of the survivors of Gettysburg upon the field where they fought twenty-five years ago cannot fal to teach an impressive lesson and convince all that bravery is akin to magnanlmity. while 1t re, minds them that the object of war is the attainment of peace. Yours very truly,
