BUT BOTH DECLINED
in favor of I'll. A. Potter, of New Jersey,
who was unanimously chosen. The adj
dress to Gen. Harrison having been
signed by each member, the committee
placed itself at the disposal of the local
committee of arrangements, Hon. j. n.
Huston chairman. Before adjourning
the committee voted to meet in New
York city at the Murray Hill hotel at 10
o'clock next Saturday morning, for the
purpose of arranging the programme
for the notification of Hon. Levi z.
Morton. Chairman Estee and nearly all
of the members of the committee have
signified their intention of being
present at Morton's notification.
At 80 the delegates, escorted by the
local committee of arrangements, took
carriages in front of the hotel and were
driven up Massachusetts avenue, then
north ON Delaware street to No. GA,
the plain, two-story brick residence of
Gen. Harrison. The exterior of the
house was without decoration, not so
much as a small flag being visible, but
many neighbOring residences were
tastefully dressed in bunting. A crowd
of between two and three hundred peo-
pie stood gazing before the house
while the committee alighted,. and,
headed by Chairman Estee and Gov.
Foster, entered the house in marching
order. Russell Harrison and Capt. M.
G.. McLain met the delegates at the door
the parlor, being the center room be-
tween the drawing-room and the IL
brary. In the latter rooms and the hall
way were crowded the
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
of Gen. Harrison, including many la
dies. The members of the committee
formed themselves into a semi-circle
around the parlOr, which was tastefully
decorated with cut flowers. COnspicu-
Gus among the pieces was beautiful
| floral flag of double red geranium BIOS
SONS, white balsams and larkspurs, the
| whole surrounded by roses. ferns and
Iansies and resting upright on the
| piano. Conspicuous above the mantle
| hung very antique portrait of "Old
| Tippecanoe," President William Henry
| Harrison, while in the hallway rested
another portrait of the old warrior.
When the committee had all entered
the room, at II o'clock, Gen.
Harrison and his wife came down
the stairs, and just as Mrs. Har-
rison reached the last step,
she tripped and fell on her knees, but
the general hastily assisted her to arise,
tinguished lady took the generals arm
and entered the parior, amidst respect
| full silence. Gen. Harrison looked pale
and careworn, his expression being one
of deep seriousness, as he stood facing
the committee, attired in a close-but-
toned Prince Albert. Mrs. Harrison,
on the contrary, looked happy and
bright; her sparkling eyes and winSome
manners were in charming contrast
with her abundant gray hair. She was
| attired in white India silk, trimmed in
| gimp, with high neck and long sleeves,
and no ornaments: ON her left stood
| MIS-. d. ~. lIuSbollsd VI uHcLtG.
attired in black silk and diamond Orna-
ments, and beside her stood Mrs. John
| c. New, also in black silk with dia-
monds. Mrs. Mckee, Gen. Harrison's
| daughter, was indiSpOSed and unable to
| leave her room, and Mrs. Russell Harri-
son is visiting her father in Omaha. AS
the ladies took their positions beside
Gen. Harrison, Chairman Estee
stepped forward, and in splen-
did voice and emphasis, said:
! "Gen. Harrison, we are commissioned
by the national Republican convention
to officially notify you of your nomina-
president of the United States. La
doing this we may be permitted to re-
mind you that your selection met the
hearty approval of the whole conven-
! ton; it left 5G

voiced the average and the best judg-
ment of the convention. 1t is true. dis
tinguished gentlemen we'll known to
the people, who were experienced in
public affairs, illustrious in character.
and worthy of the peoples confidence
and support, were before the conven-

chosen. Nor was your nomination. due

Dictated rather that you possessed in a
more eminent degree those peculiar
qualities which commended you to the
peoples favor. In the hour of our
country's peril you cheerfully accepted

where your country most needed you,
and by long and faithful service rose to
higher commands and assumed graver
responsibilities. Elected to the United
States senate, your enlightened and con-
sentative craftsmanship commanded
