THE RESULT AT CHICAGO.

From the Albany Journal


lent with victory Honor, virtue, states
mauship are the jewels our leader brings
to Ais party. Harmony and spirit mark
his followers. All danger of a breach in
the party is now over. the party is
again unit. 1t knows no stalwarts or
half-breeds. There are no disgruntled,
unhappy men in it, The nomination Of
Harrison was accomplished by no subter-
fuge or trckery. The race was free for
ali and the nomination fell by the untram-
meled choice of the convention. There is
not "A defeated candidate for the nomina-
ton who will not be fpnnd on the stump
this fall.
From the Rutland Herald
The ticket possesses every element of
strength and no element of weakness. 1t
was unanimously nominated. 1t repre-
sents the two greatest doubtful States
and will probably make them certain
One hundred and seventy-four electoral
votes are safe and p are needed to elect
New York alone can supply them, or In
diana with either New Jersey or Con-
necticut can supply them. But Harrison
and Morton and protection will be almost
certain to carry every Northern State,
and they would sweep the South also ii
there could be free ballot and fair count
Vermont which will be the first State to
vote, may take just pride in the fact that
her little delegation at Chicago had the
sense and foresight to vote eolidly from
first to last for the winning man, and in
the further fact that the nominee for vice
president is native of this State and the
third Nermonter who has attained such
honor. 1t remains for us to make good
Gov. Proctor's promise to the convention
and give the ticket the unprecedented ma
iorlty of 10000 in Vermont.
From the ST. Adams Messenger
The Vermont delegation has done nobly
in standing by the Hoosier gentleman
from the first. In this they have certain
ly represented the sentiment of the mass
of republicans of the State. The other
candidates before the convention were all
good men, but Harrison will make the
strongest run.
| From the Boston Herald Ind. and Free
Trade
| Yet there is no reason why any party
! man of the republicans who is satisfied
| with the platform should not vote for Mr.
Harrison. He is pure man he is more
| than sound on the party tenetsl; he has
| ability beyond men VINO have been repub
lican nominees for the presidency. Mr.
| Harrison will be a strictly partisan candi
date. There need not be the least mis-
giving as to even the intensity of his feel
ings here. He has no temptations to in
dependence. He is likely to accept the
tariff feature of the platform in its entire
ty and its strength.
From the New York Press,
And it is an uneXceptionable ticket, lool
at it whichever way you may. Both CRANE
specimens of American citizenship. One
a gcoi soldier from a family of fighters
an accomplished lawyer and experienced
statesman. The other a great bushes!
man. wealthy ma1, and yet a man o
the people. A man of the most charming
manners. A natural born gentleman
who treats the most humble citizen will
the same respect as the most exalted
Both are men of unquestioned integrit.
and morals. Both have filled with homo
to their party and themselves high posi-
tons of trust. Both are loyal, patriots
republicans, thoroughly in accord witt
the principles as set forth III the platf form
Both come from doubtful States. 1t i
doubtful if better ticket could have beef
nOmi lated. 1t is strong at both ends
Strong III patriotism, strong in statesman
ship, strong in legal and business attain
ments, and long before election it will b.
so strong in the hearts of all true Ameri
cans that it will be elected by an over
whelmlng majority next November.
From the n York World, Democratic anC
Free Trade.
Mr.. Harrison's nomination is one tina
all warning republican factions in New
York can support without heartburning
There are two reasons why his candidac
is fortunate. 1t leaves the issue of eX
IRENE protection against tariff revis
ion clear cut and distinct, and it remove
all danger of personalities in the cam
paign. Mr.. Harrison has been all his lif
a high protectionist, and there is no room
for personal attacks on his character. ii
has associated WIFI him upon the tickle
Mr. Levi p. Morton, an eminen
New York fipancier, who is PERSONAL
unobjectionable and who has long bee
recognized as faithful follower of tn
, protection banner. The fight is one @
principle, not of persons, and the World
opposition to Mr. Harrison is because h
represents a principle which we believe t
, be antagonistlc to the prosperity of thu
country.
