How the denomination OF the President
Is Regarded Abroad.
LONDON, June 1.-THE burden OF the
comments of all the evening papers on the
denomination Of Harrison and the selection
of Whitelaw Reid as the Republican candi-
date for Vice-P President is JOY over the de-
feat Of Blaine.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Even those
least in sympathy with Blaine as a pOliti-
elan may spare passing regret at the cruel
disappointment of the man who is the abIest
Republican and the most astute politician
in the United States.
The Globe says: For once an American
caucus is of real interest to outsiders. es-
pecially England. In view of the disSen-
sion in the Democratic party, the nominee
of yesterday stands q good chance of being
the next President. 1t was a happy thing
the caucus decided overW helmingly against
the great WirepulleT, whose entire career
has been marked with attempts to make
party capital out of foreign politics. The
Globe then relates at length Blaine'S acts Of
hostility toward England, as shown in the
Chilean affair, the Bering Sea question, tie
Newfoundland matter, etc, and adds:
Even as it was, President Harrison some
times had a difficult task 10 check the mis-
chief.
on Blaine because of his protection pTinci-
pes aud sums up its estimate Of President
HaTrisOn's qualifications by declaring that
he is a "quiet unaSsuwing old gentleman
Of great peIsOnalintegTity, but without great
ability" Ii then predicts the nomination
of Cleveland by the Democracy and con-
CludeS by saying: The sympathies Of all
Free-traders and Liberals should be with
the champion Of reform-GrOYer Cleve-
land"
The St James Gazette says: 1t is mat
Ter Of indifference to EngiShmen which
party in America is in power, since both
cater to the Irish votes by an occasional
rudeness to Great Britain. President Har-
riSon, following less RdTOtly Blalne's eX-
ample, carried braggadoei0 to absurdity in
the Berlag Sea negotiations, until be found
il vain, when he dropped 1t and climbed
down. So much for Republican courtesy.
But almost the last act Of the late Demo-
cratic Cabinet was to insult the British rep
Tesentative at Washington.
BERLIN, June 1.-THE Republican con-
ventiun has been followed here with
the greatest interest in political circles.
where it was generally expected Blaine
would be successful, not because he is
liked, but his success would have been
regarded as a partiR! rebuff 10 the Nc
kinley policy, which German manufacture
ers are still Smortlng under. All here ale
in sympathy with the Democrats, while the
and the ability of Reid are universally con-
ceded. Little attempt is made TO conceal
the hope that they Will be beaten at the
polls.
PARIS. June lie TEN ps, commenting
e3itoTeilJ Uu the selection Ois the EepubIi-
can ticket says: The success of Harrison
indicates that the Republicans will take a
stand unreseryedly and iTTevccably on the
basis Of protection, scarcely tempered
by reciprocity and somewhat misty
uD0n the question of bimetallism.
"Blaine's ranc0r," lie Temps adds, renders
the election Of Harrison uncertain. The
conventions decision has given rise to more
difficulties than can be settled. Harrison's
total lack Of prestige and personal magne-
tism will give exceptional Importance to The
Democratic candidate"
VALPARAISO, June 11-Chilean papers,
in commenting upon President UarrisOn's
denomination, say they hope he will not
be reelected. Editors, however, say
that they derive much consolation
from the defeat Of Blaine. Their only
desire is whoever is elected President in
November next will appoint new Min
ister TO represent the United States in Chile
in place Of Minister Egan. They a id tn y
want a native-boTn American sent here in
that capacity.
