SAN Francisco, Cal, June 26.-Com-
menting editorially on the action OF the
Republican convention, tho Chronicle
(Rep.) says: 'Gen. Harrison has been
selected as the Republican candidate, not
by the State OF California, but by the
great Republican party in convention as
~ mbled. He now stands as the chosen
representative Of the principle Of Repub-
licanism, and notably Of that grand prin.
ciple, protection. which, as Mr.. Blaine
says. is incidentally greater than any
man, and it is the duty, and doubtless will
he the pleasure Of every genuine Repub-
lican to give him cheerful, earnest and
hearty support. AS regards Morton, his
journal says his name carries great weight,
and will undoubtedly make the ticket
stronger in New York, where strength is
most needed"
The Aha dem. says; There Is present,

The Post (Rep.) says Harrison was
not the irst choice OF the voters Of
California. Gresham or Alger represent
the attitude OF the coast far more clearly
than Harrison, especially on the Chinese
question. and California would have been
| far better satisfied had either Of these men
been chosen; but Harrison comes from O
doubtful State, and that II Is OF the highest
| importance that the party should carry In
November. II Is probable that his sup

Creed Raymond.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 28.-"Our leader
telegraphed for us not TO vote any more
for him." said Chairman Creed Raymond,
Of the California delegation last night.
"After his cablegram was received, how
ever, we gave him sixteen votes on the
first ballot The order to quit firing was
the order TO retreat, and TO that am not
accustomed. We had II all fixed to nomi-
nate Blaine Monday morning, but his pre-
tended friends here have been keeping the
wires red hot urging him TO give express
orders TO his supporters TO cease. After
Boutelle, OF Maine, made that speech in
the convention which he had no right 10
make, Blaines candidacy was no longer
10 be considered. We would still have
voted for Blaine had the Alabama and Ar
kansas delegates, who came first on the
roll, united with us. proposed to them
that II they would stay we would still sup.
port Blaine. Those cable messages would
never have been sent had Mr.. Blaine been
fully familiar with the situation. He had
been misinformed by pretended friends.
Harrison will make splendid race
in California and through the slope. lie
believes in the equality OF all before the
law and in the declaration Of independence
as a principle. When the anti-Chinese
crusade began, he and other Republicans
applied that principle 10 the Chinese, but
II was a mistaken application. When
they discovered that the Chinese never
sought political recognition, but were al
separate people in our midst, as II they
were i'm China, then those Republicans
opposed their admission TO this country
as q matter Of principle. The Democrats
declared against the Chinese; tomorrow
they would declare in their fayer II any
votes were TO be gained.

has made mono OF the antagonisms which
are usually inseparable from long period
OF public service, and, since his record

Mr.. Harrison Is not stronger than his
