! There was nothing in the pro-

popular impression that a gentleman

Minneapolis to arrange the southern
delegates in blocks of five and see that
none got away until they had voted for
Harrison.-St. Paul Globe.
The negroes of the south are
said to be against Harrison. They will
always be against any republican pres
ident who will carry out his party's
programme, which is to give them
nothing but promises for their votes. -

had once bought the treasury portfolio
and had lost it by the perfidy of Gar
ocracy and he is beside that the partic-

The nomination of Whitelaw
Reid for vice president in place of Levi
p. Morton is a peculiar concession to
the one great state in the union which
Mr.. Harrison could not control. If it
adds strength to the ticket it must be
of a doubtful quantity not at present
visible.-N. Y. Advertiser.
Assuming Mr.. Blaine to be in
the possession of all his faculties he goes
down ANONYMOUSLY upon a field where
he was thought to be peerless and inn
pregnable But the likelihood is that
the plumed knight is the victim, not
the hero, of a heartless ring of profess
sional politicians, who were using his
name and fame as a barricade by
which they might delay the movement
of the convention until they had COM
pleted their plans to defeat the nom
nation of Harrison. Courier

The convention has cut out for
the organs and orators of the party

Ordinary courtesy and politeness
should at least have prompted some re-
publican in the Minneapolis coIven-
ton to express the party's respec1 for
Vice President Morton and it's ,egret
that tradition and fattering expecta-
tions dictated the placing of another
name than his in the second place on
the ticket. Ii Mr.. Morton had always
treated the republican party as the
party has now treated him there would
have been long faces and empty cof
fers in many campaign headquarters
during the past twenty years.-N. Y.

One thing seems to be certain
The republican party, although strong
ly cemented and kept together by the
cohesive power of public plumber
cannot stand many more such strains
as have Just been put upon it at Min
neapolis. Indeed. if the American
people are disposed to resent the impu-
dent parade of fraud, malice. lunacy,
corruption, imbecility and treachery as
undisguised factors in politics it can
with safety be asserted that BENJAMIN
Harrison will not succeed himself, and
that after the 4th of next March no re-
publican will ever again be president
of the United States.-Chicago Times
