Window Reporter. Many Republicans
practically conceded this outcome at the
Minneapolis convention, when Chaunccy
N. Depew and his New York capitalists
captured the convention, and practically
choked the Blaine men from an express

organized defeat from the start. The
solid South which could In no way give
us a single elector together with Mr..
Depew and his influence dominated the
Minneapolis convention where the heart

nomination of Mr.. Blaine.

Sank Centre Herald. - All along the
line the party has been defeated in
manner which would be ignominious but

dance of office holders from the Southern
states at the Minneapolis convention,
who practically dictated Harrison's nomi-
nation, and has felt that this was the one
great blunder that the Republican party
