newspapers of the country on the Repub-
lican nominees will be of considerable
interest at this time. The St. Louis
Globe Democrat (Rep.) lauds Judge
Gresham, and attributes Harrison's cleo
ton to Jay Gould, adding: Harrison is
an amiable man, whose grandfather was
president for a month nearly fifty years
ago. He is an Indiana lawyer and served
a term in the United States senate, where
his record, except a very ugly one on the
Chinese and labor questions, was molten
siye so far as We remember"
The Chicago Daily Netus Qnd.) says:
by nominating Harrison the Republican
party has eliminated the personality of
Blaine from the coming campaign, and
Upon this the entire country is to be
heartily congratulated. So far as Harri-
sons personality and record will count in
the campaign he may be said to be a neg
alive quantity. His nomination will not
evoke any of that enthusiasm. that would
have followed the nomination of such q
candidate as Judge Gresham. Mr.. Har-
rison is, as Mr.. ingalls, would say, not a
leader. He is possibly a somebody"
like Hayes in 1876, but he is not one of
the men toward whom one feels an in
s~tinctive attraction"
The Tunes Qnd. Dem says: "The Re
publican party has at last applied heroic
treatment to Its chronic maIady of Blaine
ism. The Plumed Knight has been I'M
horsed and the chasm that has separated
the hall breeds and stalwarts for a decade
has been bridged. The nomination of
Harrison following that of Cleveland
gives reasonable security that we are to
have a decent campaign. Gen. Harrison
is a gentleman of unstained reputation
and the scavengers of the party will vainly
seek for material against him with which
to befoul the political atmosphere. Levi
z. Morton, the candidate for vice presi-
dent, is an ideal business man and in a
great degree has the confidence of the
people of his state. He would preside
over the senate with suavity and dignity
and SO whatever happens, that great chair
will be well filed"
The New York World (Dem J: THE
long struggle at Chicago resulted IN the
nomination of a candidate whose capacity
cannot be denied and whose public record
is free from reproach. Harrison has
neither the positive political strength nor
the positive political weakness of either
Blaine or Sherman, but this proves to be
in his favor rather than to his disadvan-
tage in the present contest The World
highly eulogizes Harrison, but adds the
contest is not between Cleveland and
Harrison, but between extreme protection
and honest tariff revision.
New York Times (Rcp.). The Repub.
lican party deserves more credit than it
will get, we fear, for the nominations
made by the convention. Already there
is a disposition shown to deride the ticket
it has put before the people and the in
tensity of the struggle through which the
result was reached, the unworthy plot to
which the convention nearly succumbed
and the passions aroused and the resent
ments engendered have deprived il of the
due prominence and attention to the re-
generating force which has worked within
and upon the party in Chicago. 1t is, in
truth, a notable step upward to rise from
James g. Blaine to BENJAMIN Harrison.
1t is a creditAble exchange, we think, to
swap Stephen B. Elkins for John g. New
no candidate rnalnr IT, H.,
pays Harrison a glowing eulogy, but adds:
Altogether it is an entirely respectable
nomination, but it will not inspire the
party"
The New York Herald (Ind.) says:
The Republican candidates, Harrison
and Morton, are like the Democratic can
didates-upright, honorable men. That
fact is a great gain to the country. Har-
He showed himself there as in the poll
tics of his state. upright and keen, and.
indeed, a rather bitter partisan, a thor
oughgoing high tariff protcctionist. a
somewhat narrow; a party man rather
than a statesman. He is probably a more
correct exponent of the present spirit and
temper of the Republican leader than its
older statesmen. Morton proved himself
an active. useful and intelligent represen
tative in congress; was prominent in the
party's counsel. an excellent and popular
minister to France. Like bis chief, he is
a high protectionist, and thus in harmony
with the spirit OF the party. If he were
elected he would preside with dignity and
intelligence over the senate.
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) }: The
nomination is one entirely fl to be made,
though we do not think it is the best that
was within the reach OF the convention.
H. is one of the results that had to follow
the logical demands of the situation"
